Marriage Wasn't My Revenge [Taekook]
JEON JUNGKOOK~
Jeon Jungkook was twenty-six and lived a calm~ strict~ and lonely life.
His office~ made of glass and steel~ matched his cold personality.
People knew him as a serious CEO who never smiled.
Any warmth he had died two years ago with his father.
His parents’ divorce was old pain~ and his mother had already moved on with her life.
His father was everything to him—his only family.
When he died~ Jungkook was left alone.
Now~ Jungkook had only his company and his two close friends:
Namjoon~ who was quiet and wise~ and Hoseok~ who was always cheerful.
Eun-ae was the only person who brought light into his cold world.
With her~ he felt alive again.
She was kind~ bright~ and full of hope.
They were engaged~ and the simple ring on her finger meant everything to him.
Her father~ Mr. Kim~ was his late father’s best friend and treated Jungkook with warmth and care.
For a short time~ Jungkook believed life was finally getting better..
Accident~
One rainy Tuesday night~ Jungkook was in the back of his car.
unknown
Sir~ the road is blocked. We have to take the quiet road by the river~
Jungkook just nodded~ looking at his phone.
The road by the river was dark and empty.
Jungkook closed his eyes.
He did not see the big truck that pulled out behind them.
He did not see it speed up.
Metal screamed and glass exploded.
Then~ everything went black.
A week later~ Jungkook woke up.
He was in a hospital bed.
He heard machines beeping.
He felt a terrible pain~ but his legs... he couldn't feel his legs.
His friends Namjoon and Hoseok were there.
They looked very worried.
Hoseok said~ trying to smile.
The doctors came in. Their faces were serious.
Doctor
The accident hurt your spine very badly. The nerves are damaged. We did surgery~ but...
Doctor
Your legs are paralyzed.
Jungkook
What does that mean~??
Doctor
You probably will not walk again.
The words echoed in his head.
Lost her~
At first~ she held his hand.
Her eyes were full of tears~ but she was strong.
Eun-ae
Don't worry~ I love you. I will stay with you. We will fight this together.
In this new~ scary life~ she was his only hope...
Jungkook moved to a special hospital to try to get better.
He had to use a wheelchair.
He started to see a change in Eun-ae.
Her smiles became smaller.
Her visits became shorter.
She looked at the wheelchair~ then looked away.
One day~ she came to his hospital room.
She put a small box on his table.
It was the box for her engagement ring..
Eun-ae
Jungkook~I can't do this anymore.
He looked from the box to her face.
She said~ waving her hand at the room~ at his wheelchair.
Eun-ae
I thought I was strong enough. But I'm not. I can't spend my life married to a man in a wheelchair. This is not the life I wanted.
Her words felt like knives.
They hurt more than the accident.
Jungkook
You said you would stay~
He said~ his voice quiet.
Eun-ae
I know what I said~
Eun-ae
But that was before I knew how hard it would be. I'm sorry.
She turned and walked out of the room.
He listened to the sound of her shoes clicking down the hall.
The sound got softer and softer~ until there was only silence.
First~ he felt a deep~ heavy sadness.
Then~ the sadness turned into something else.
He looked at his legs that would not move.
He looked at the ring box she left behind.
Now~ he had lost her~ too.
