I Become Instant Step Little Dad of 3 Children.......
Chapter 1 /Sympathy Card
The morning sun filtered through the large floor-to-ceiling glass windows and cast a ray of light on the ground. It was another day full of possibilities.
In the luxurious villa, Kim Taehyung sat on the balcony of his master bedroom. A hot pot of tea steamed on the small, round porcelain table and a medium-sized thermos cup was filled with goji berries.
Taehyung shielded his forehead against the morning sun and took a sip from the thermos. He looked at the goji berries in the thermos quietly and continued to daydream.
Taehyung was never careless regarding his health. Although he was only in his twenties, he felt like he was already in his fifties. His colleagues used to tease him for being such a Cinderella when he drank his goji berry juice. His gloomy face brightened at the thought.
He had been here for almost three days now. He had finally been able to sort things out after a sleepless night.
He, Kim Taehyung, had transmigrated into a novel that he had just finished reading on a night that no one cared about.
He had even become a step little dad to three children. The description of the stepdad had been very scarce in the novel. Considering that the author had not spent much time describing his character made him think that he wasn’t an important enough character. He felt that the character was practically invisible in his own home.
When he recalled that he hadn’t even got to have a wedding in the real world, Taehyung pinched his thigh in frustration trying to convince himself that this wasn’t real.
The sting of the pinch and the red, sore mark told him that this was not a dream.
As he lamented the unfairness of his fate, Taehyung still had to thank the heavens. He now had a husband and three sons, all of a sudden.
One was a menace who constantly skipped school.
One was rotten in the core but appeared to be a noble gentleman.
And one appeared to be innocent, but was incredibly cunning
As for his husband, Jeon Jungkook, he was depicted as a young and promising business elite in the book. He was in his thirties. He also was every bit cold and emotionless.
He had married the original owner of this body after remaining single for seven years. However, the day after their wedding, Jeon Jungkook had left on a business trip to Rong City. He hadn’t said anything more and had not returned since that fateful day.
The businessmen that Taehyung had met in the past were either stout or balding. Just thinking about them made him lose his appetite. He wondered if Jeon Jungkook was also the same. If that was the case, then it would be better if he never met him.
Taehyung felt that his days were a little too bland and boring. But the vibrant morning and the goji berries energized him.
He flipped through the contact list, trying to find someone to chat with. However, it seemed he, or at least the original owner, didn’t have many friends.
Kim Taehyung/O
‘This is so strange. A beautiful and young Omega doesn’t have close friends he could contact?’
It was fine with Taehyung.Typing was quite tiring, anyway.
Taehyung changed his posture a few times. He felt that the marble-paved balcony floor was too hard even though it was covered with a velvet carpet. It made his back ache.
He got up, took his thermos with him, and laid down on his big, soft bed. Taehyung stretched his back comfortably. He wanted to enjoy the life of a rich person in this huge villa, alone.
On any morning, he would have been arguing with the pancake stall owner for being stingy. But here he was, lying down on his soft bed and thinking about how to pass the time. Those were his only worries. Taehyung felt that being a rich man sure did have its perks.😌😌😌
He decided to watch a movie and turned the TV on. A movie was about to begin. Just then, he heard a knock at his door.
“Uncle. Uncle, are you done packing? We are about to leave,” said a child’s anxious voice.
Kim Taehyung/O
Taehyung lowered the volume.‘It sounded like the youngest of the three brothers, Jeon Vantae. He had been here for three days, and he hadn’t met him yet. He said it was time to leave…’
Kim Taehyung/O
‘Where are they going? Wasn’t the original owner of this body a little invisible to everyone?’ Taehyung was confused. He wondered why Jeon Vantae had sought him out suddenly.
Jeon Van/Vinnie
“Uncle...” Vantae called again.
Kim Taehyung/O
*Taehyung slowly opened the door to his room.*
The little boy wore light blue sportswear and carried a school bag. His hair was slightly curly, and he was about 1.3 meters tall. He was in first grade, but he was tall for his age. His eyes curved into crescents when he smiled, and he usually looked friendly.
Vantae‘s dark eyes stared at the man who was still wearing his pajamas. He grimaced in disgust.
Jeon Van/Vinnie
“I knew you’d forget about it,”
Jeon Van/Vinnie
“We all are gathering at the park at ten this morning. My brothers are already there. Please hurry up. I will give you 20 minutes.” He turned and proceeded downstairs after saying that.
His older brother, Jeon Junggukk, was already at the top of the class in his first year of high school. He was the arrogant one. Even if Taehyung did not know the whole story, he knew that it was a big deal especially if Jeon Junggukk was involved.
Jeon Van/Vinnie
“The whole family is busy, and he’s the only one enjoying himself,” Vantae muttered as he reached the living room on the first floor. ‘His father had told him to seek Assistant Qin if he needed anything and not to trouble Uncle Kim. But he didn’t listen.’
Kim Taehyung/O
While he was changing his clothes, Taehyung flipped through the memo. On 10th of June, the variety show ‘We Are Also Very Ordinary’ would be shot on the top of the city Radio Station and broadcasted live in Lan Village. ‘Wasn’t it the most basic thing to mention the time, place, and characters clearly? Such a title with no rhyme or reason whatsoever…’
Taehyung did a quick check. This was a family reality show set in the 1990s. The participants were all famous celebrities or social elites. The title wanted to show the audience that even the high and mighty live an ordinary daily life. Therefore, there was nothing to be envious of the elites. They, too, had a mouth, and a pair of legs. They all had to eat, drink, and sh*t. While conveying this to the common audience, the show also allowed the celebrities and elites to ‘stop’ their work and truly experience the joy of being with their children the whole day.
The biggest highlight of this variety show was that the children had to sign up first and then persuade their parents to participate. Most of these children were well-off but lacked the attention and affection of their family. The Festival Group hoped that the children would convince their parents to participate. If the schedule did not allow it, at least one parent present would be enough. Before Taehyung could read the full things, Assistant Qin called.
Assistant Qin
“Madam, I’ll be waiting for you outside. Please pack more clothes. We will be there for seven days. The reserve funds have been transferred to your Alipay account. Also, keep this from President Jeon.We’ll talk about it when you arrive at Lan Village.” Assistant Qin’s instructions sounded more like an order. He did not care about him at all.
Kim Taehyung/O
‘Young masters!’ Taehyung’s eyes widened. He was going to face his three stepsons. Just thinking about it made him anxious.
Kim Taehyung/O
He decided to politely refuse the proposal. “Assistant Qin, I have only just entered the Jeon family. It’s not very appropriate for me to participate in a family program. Junggukk is a celebrity. If someone with an ulterior motive were to make an issue out of this, who knows how negatively this will be viewed! In any case, they need only one parent to participate. Let Jungkook attend instead of me.”
Assistant Qin
“President Jeon said that he would try his best to attend. But he only just arrived in country H. He has a meeting tonight. I don’t think he will be back anytime soon. He probably just said it to brush off the young master. It’s young master Junggukk’s first time participating in a live family show, so we can’t let him arrive with only his brothers and no adults. President Jeon has always been busy with work. Even though the young masters are satisfied with their material needs, they lack love, especially the warmth of a real family.” Assistant Qin was ready to play the sympathy card.
Chapter 2 /It's Just a live show
Kim Taehyung/O
Taehyung’s heart softened. ‘It’s just a live show…’
In his own world, Taehyung used to be a live streamer.
Taehyung’s childhood had been miserable. After his parents’ divorce, he was tossed from one to another, frequently. His grandparents attended his parent-teacher meetings, instead of his parents. When his grandparents passed away, he had no one to rely on.
Taehyung understood and agreed with Assistant Qin. He found a set of fitting sportswear in his closet and tied his hair into a ponytail. It would be more convenient for him to wear this for the reality show. He looked young and lively.
In the real world, Taehyung had placed a lot of importance on maintaining his health. Most of the money he earned was spent on good skincare products. There was once a video online that said that a Omega’s face was worth a McLaren. Although it was a little exaggerated, it was somewhat true. Taehyung just loved to maintain his beauty. His skin was fair and blemish-free. He also had a sort of a baby face which made him look very young.
When Taehyung came down the stairs, Vinnie was stunned. If he told anyone that he was his brother, they would believe him.
Kim Taehyung/O
“What are you doing? Let’s go.” Taehyung raised the brim of his white hat.
Jeon Van/Vinnie
“You only brought a palm-sized backpack? We’ll be at Lan Village for a week!” Vinnie pointed at the black leather bag on Taehyung’s back.
Jeon Van/Vinnie
‘Although they had prepared their own clothes, as parents, shouldn’t he take on the responsibility of cooking?’ thought Vinnie.The program rule stated that food could not be bought. The contestants can either pick them from the field or exchange the things they had brought with other families.
Kim Taehyung/O
“These clothes are quick-drying, so I only carried a few. There are compressed biscuits and ham sausages in the bag, too.” Taehyung hated going out while carrying bulky things. It was only seven days, anyway. It was just tiring to drag luggage after him.
Vinnie stared at him for a while. He didn’t say anything further. He only gave Taehyung a thumbs up.👍👍
At the live broadcast of ‘WE ARE ALSO VERY ORDINARY’ in Lan Village, five families arrived to participate. Besides Jeon Junggukk’s family, there were four other families.
Kim Taehyung/O
Jeon Gukk was a top celebrity who was participating in the event. Additionally, his father was an influential figure in the business world. The festival group had arranged for him to stay at the village head’s house. However, he had chosen to stay at Aunt Wang’s house, which was the most dilapidated house in that area. If Taehyung remembered correctly, Jeon Jungkook was a little mysophobic. It was no wonder that he was unwilling to participate.
Jeon Gukk/Idol
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes,Gukk wouldn’t never have imagined that such a backward village existed just 300 kilometers away from Yun City.
Jeon Jae
Jeon Jae was full of resentment. “Brother, are you crazy? It is June! Rats and insects will arrive in droves. You chose such a badly kept house! You should have just brought little brother with you. Why did you drag me here? Aren’t you afraid that I might end up fighting with that man?”
Jeon Gukk/Idol
Gukk’s thick eyebrows furrowed. “I was willing to let him come not only because of the live broadcast of the show. I know that father might come if he saw him here. Even if he doesn’t hesitate to leave us, he can’t bear to leave Kim Taehyung alone.”
Jeon Jae
Jae finally understood why his elder brother had insisted on inviting Taehyung. He placed a hand on his brother’s shoulder. “That makes sense… but I can’t promise that there won’t be a conflict between me and him.”
At five in the afternoon, the two brothers were famished. Although they craved the affection of their father that they had never received, they were not short for money. At the least they would not go hungry. In a fit of pettiness, they threw away all the dry food from their bags.
However, in this godforsaken place, it didn’t matter if they had money because there was nowhere to spend it. They were expected to cook for themselves. They had never touched a gas stove in their house, let alone use a clay stove. They waited for Taehyung to cook but it was almost night.
Smoke rose from the chimney of their neighbor’s kitchen, and the air was filled with the smell of cooked meat. Their stepdad hadn’t arrived yet. The Festival Group had said that the camera would cut to the kitchens at 5:30pm to see what delicious food each family had made.
All the families must have put in a lot of effort to show off their skills in front of the camera to prove that rich families also coexisted in warmth. But not all rich people were here to cook and eat. They were here to show that they did have some life experience and basic skills. It was also a way to raise their popularity.
Looking at Jeon Gukk’s family, who didn’t even prepare a pot of tea, let alone food, the director shook his head.
Even though Jeon Gukk had yet to show his face, his stream already had millions of fans waiting for him, and the bullet screen was rapidly moving.
Citizens/Viewers
[I heard that Gukkie brought two younger brothers to the show this time. The older brother is so good-looking, so the younger brother must be good as well. I’m looking forward to it.]
Citizens/Viewers
[What? His stepdad is here too! Help!]
Citizens/Viewers
[I heard that the stepdad is only a few years older than our Gukkie. Are you sure he can take care of three children?]
Citizens/Viewers
[He’s not here to leech off of Gukk’s popularity, is he? If it wasn’t for the sake of seeing my children, this stepdad would have already persuaded me to leave.]
Citizens/Viewers
[It’s rumored that Jeon Jungkook, the business tycoon, was very much in love with his
ex-wife/omega.
After his ex-wife/omega passed away, he remained single for seven years. Why did he suddenly marry this omega without any news? I’d like to see if this omega is a vixen or a sl*t to be able to break the businessman Jeon’s image.]
Citizens/Viewers
[Who cares what kind of stepdad he is? we’re just here to see our Gukkie.]
Citizens/Viewers
[Have you guys heard that Jeon Jungkook never accepts any interviews? He’s on the list this time around, but I heard that he hasn’t appeared yet. Is he coming or not?]
Citizens/Viewers
[He must be a disheveled old man. That’s why I can’t find a picture of him on the internet.]
The bullet screen was filled with discussions about the Jeon family.

Chapter 3 /Starve Us to Death
Author (Akari)✨✨✨
Hey everyone 👋👋👋
At 5, Taehyung and Vinnie finally arrived. Vinnie ran towards his brothers. Taehyung looked at the two people in front of him. The tallest one, he presumed, was Jeon Gukk, the oldest among the three. He was a top celebrity. He was the main lead of the novel. He sat crossed leg. His eyes were lowered, and the eyelashes cast a fan-shaped shadow on his face. His skin was even fairer than his. When he saw Taehyung arrive,Gukk did not even look up.
The other one had slightly darker skin. He was frowning and his legs shook a little. his mouth was slightly pouted, and his legs kept shaking. He had distinct features. One could tell at a glance that this was his second son of the devil incarnate in the novel. He was also a frequent visitor of the internet café, Gong Jie. His name was Jeon Jae.
Jeon Jae
“Hurry up and cook. Are you going to starve us to death? You’re so annoying,” Jae demanded. He kicked the broken stool in front of him.
Taehyung wanted to teach his unfilial son a lesson but seeing that the director had already brought the camera towards them, he held back to keep up the image of being a good wife/Omega and dad.
Cameraman
“Camera 1, in position.” The cameraman said through the walkie-talkie.
Reception desk
“All kitchen cameras are in position. The live broadcast is starting,” came the confirmation from the reception desk.
Citizens/Viewers
[Son, daddy’s here. Why is he living in such a shabby place...]
Citizens/Viewers
[Did you bring the mosquito repellent? No, maybe there’s no plug. Did you bring the mosquito fragrance?]
Citizens/Viewers
[Aren’t you all cooking? Why is there no movement from your kitchen?]
Seeing Taehyung sitting on a small bench with his hands supporting his cheeks, the fans could not hold it in anymore.
Citizens/Viewers
[Wheatley’s Red braised pork. I can smell the fragrance even through the screen.]
Citizens/Viewers
[This cap-wearing omega,could he be the stepdad who stole our son? He’s so young! What’s he doing? he didn’t even lift the lid.]
Citizens/Viewers
[This is Kim Taehyung? He’s so fair that he’s glowing. His legs are so long and slender, and his face is so delicate. Oh my God, as a Omega, I can’t help but take a few more glances at him. He’s as pretty as a film star.]
Citizens/Viewers
[Jeon Jungkook is very famous in the business world. But how can he be so shallow?]
Citizens/Viewers
[If our son gets hungry, we’ll teach him a lesson.]
Citizens/Viewers
[Have you guys seen Jeon Jungkook? All the guests have appeared in the live broadcast room. Why didn’t I see him? I was quite surprised when he was on the list. It’s indeed a gimmick of the show.]
Citizens/Viewers
[The parents of the other four groups of families are all here. Only Gukkie has an unreliable stepdad. How pitiful!]
Citizens/Viewers
[We strongly request that Taehyung be withdrawn from the show. Let Gukkie continue to do missions with his two younger brothers.]
Citizens/Viewers
[It must be so difficult for Gukkie to remain kind in such an atmosphere. Mommies love you even more.]
