Revenged Love(Taekook)
Ch 1: Let's Break-Up
Junggukk
You find a shady spot and wait there. I’ll be right over to pick you up...📲
Junggukk hung up the phone, wiped his hands with a dishcloth, and cheerfully went into the inner room to change clothes..
Junggukk’s mom followed him inside to ask.
While peeling the sweat-stuck tank top off his rough-skinned body, Junggukk glanced at his mom with his big, round eyes, unable to hide the grin on his face...
Today was the first time Junggukk’s girlfriend was going to meet his parents..
The sun blazed overhead. Cicadas screamed hoarsely in the heat. Not far from the Junggukk's home stood a large trash bin. Every year around this time, its rancid stench would waft into the kitchens of all nearby homes. As Junggukk passed the bin, a sticky ice cream wrapper clung to the bottom of his shoe. He stomped hard and scraped it off, sending hundreds of flies scattering in all directions..
Hanzhi stood at the mouth of the alley, her face filled with irritation and impatience.
As she saw Junggukk approaching, she suddenly felt a surge of disgust. She wasn’t sure if it was because of the jiggle in his belly, the two stubborn tufts of hair poking up on his head, or that face, greasy and grimy from constant exposure to kitchen smoke…
Junggukk
Let’s go, dinner’s almost ready...
Junggukk reached out to take Hanzhi’s hand.
She suddenly pulled away, her face hidden in the shade of a tree, eyes cool and unreadable.
Junggukk
What’s wrong? Are you nervous?
Junggukk smiled warmly...
Junggukk
It’s okay, my mom’s just a rural woman. She won’t make things difficult. She’s been excited ever since she found out you were coming been looking forward to it for two days! Got up early this morning to buy groceries...
Xiang Hanzhi.
Maybe… we should break up...
Junggukk thought he’d misheard. He stared at her, dumb founded, speechless for a long moment....
Xiang Hanzhi.
The way we are now..
Xiang Hanzhi.
it’s really boring....
Junggukk
Boring? I think it’s great!
Hanzhi gave a bitter smile...
Xiang Hanzhi.
That’s you...
With that, she turned to leave, but Junggukk grabbed her arm.
Junggukk
Zhi zhi, we’ve been together for seven years. You can’t just say break up and go. At least give me a reason...
Hanzhi shot him a sideways glance...
Xiang Hanzhi.
Does the seven-year itch count?
Junggukk
If it itches, I’ll scratch it!
Xiang Hanzhi.
SCRATCH YOUR DAMN UNCLE!
Hanzhi suddenly snapped. Her pretty lips spat sharp words...
Xiang Hanzhi.
Don’t joke around with me. I’m not playing. Starting today, we’re officially done. From now on, we’re just friends...
Junggukk
Why? Why break up when everything’s fine?
Junggukk was still trying to salvage things...
Junggukk
Tell me what I’m doing wrong. I’ll change....
Hanzhi rolled her eyes...
Xiang Hanzhi.
Everything’s wrong. You’d need to be reincarnated....
But Junggukk stayed stubborn...
Junggukk
I don’t believe it...
Xiang Hanzhi.
You don’t believe it? And why not?
Hanzhi’s lovely face flushed red with anger...
Xiang Hanzhi.
I didn’t want to spell it out to spare your pride, but since you’re begging for it, fine-let’s talk it out...
Junggukk looked like he was all ears, sincere and ready to repent...... Hanzhi took a deep breath and pointed at his double chin..
Xiang Hanzhi.
Look at you.... Since we got together, how much weight have you gained?Remember back in freshman year how slim you were? You were in shape! Now? Every step you take leaves a dent in the ground. Walking beside you feels like I’m walking a Tibetan Mastiff...
Junggukk
Didn’t you say back then that skinny guys don’t feel safe?
Xiang Hanzhi.
Yeah, I did,
Hanzhi flung her bag onto the ground....
Xiang Hanzhi.
But now you’ve got so much damn security, I could cry! Do you know? Lately I’ve been dreaming thatt here’s another woman between us - and I always wake up smiling...
Author..
Well.. Hello their.. As you may have read it's a fanfiction that I am taking from another novel.. If you guys love it I will try my best to find more like this.. Thank you.. And support me.. We will go accordingly to the real novel chapters..
Ch 2: Help! Someone’s Tried to Kill Themselves!
Hanzhi's sharp tongue was nothing new - Junggukk had long since gotten used to it... He didn’t stoop to argue. Instead, he bent down, picked up her bag, and handed it back with an apologetic smile...
Junggukk
If you don’t like me like this, I can lose weight for you...
Xiang Hanzhi.
Don’t bother. This isn’t about a few dozen pounds. Fat can be lost, but stinginess? That’s hopeless! Every time we go shopping, you only want discounted stuff. At the supermarket, you only grab sale items... Even when booking a hotel, you pick the ones with no internet and no AC! All my girlfriends have their own cars now. Me? I’m still crammed on buses and subways!!!
Junggukk tried to soothe her patiently..
Junggukk
Seoul’s traffic is terrible and gas prices are sky-high. Driving’s just not cost-effective...
Hanzhi snapped back in frustration.
Xiang Hanzhi.
Right, your monthly salary is barely over two thousand. With how expensive everything is in Seoul, having a girlfriend must be such a bad deal, huh? To save you money, let’s just break up...
Junggukk
Don't do this....
Junggukk pleaded in a small voice...
Junggukk
I don’t mind spending money on you..
Xiang Hanzhi.
Oh yeah, a whole two thousand Won... What’s there to mind? Even if you went all out, you’d barely cover a bowl of fermented mung bean soup and two fried dough rings. You’re a graduate from a top university, stuck in a nine-to-five job, earning less than someone with a vocational degree. My childhood friend didn’t even finish high school, and she’s driving a BMW now. You can’t afford a BMW, fine, but shouldn’t you at least be driving a Pass at?
Junggukk took out a tissue and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead...
Junggukk
Don’t worry, don’t worry. In a few years, I’ll buy one....
Xiang Hanzhi.
A few years? With that measly salary of yours, and in that dump of a house your family lives in, you seriously brought me here for dinner? Jeon Junggukk, Jeon Desperately Poor - you really live up to your name. Face it, a guy named like you will never make it rich. Go on back inside. Just tell your mom we broke up.
Hanzhi turned to leave.. Junggukk reached for her again, and the two began tugging at each other. Even the neighbor’s dog started barking...
Junggukk
Is there really no chance at all?
Junggukk’s eyes were rimmed with red.
To be honest, Hanzhi wasn’t truly heartless. If she were, she would’ve broken things off long ago. Seeing Junggukk like this stirred up some guilt—but the feelings were gone. Sooner or later, she had to make a clean break. Dragging things out would only make it worse...
Xiang Hanzhi.
Junggukk, to be honest, it’s not just about money. I hate that you have no ambition. Since we got together, you’ve never done anything bold, not once. I mean, even if you got mad and yelled at me for once, that would at least be something! People say you’re steady and dependable, but the truth is, you’re just spineless. You’re stuck..
At the base of the utility pole behind Hanzhi sat a loose brick. Junggukk stared at it blankly and suddenly remembered a short story from Zhao San Mu Si, where the male protagonist kept bashing his head with a brick to win back his lover,ultimately creating a touching tale of tragic romance.
Junggukk
I’d die for you..
Junggukk suddenly blurted out...
Xiang Hanzhi didn’t even blink. She laughed like it was a joke...
Xiang Hanzhi.
Don’t die for me. Just slice your arm a bit and I’ll call you ‘sir’...
Junggukk, shaking all over, slowly walked toward the utility pole. He bent down and picked up the chipped brick with trembling hands, like wind-blown bamboo. After managing to grip it steady, he turned to look at Hanzhi, his lips quivering.
Junggukk
I… I really will do it. Don’t regret it...
Hanzhi gave him a sideways glance, not taking him seriously at all. She turned and walked away...
Hanzhi froze mid-step. She spun around - and her face went pale with shock. Jeon Junggukk lay collapsed on the ground, body twitching, blood pouring from his forehead..
Xiang Hanzhi.
Junggukk! Junggukk! Don’t scare me like this! Somebody help! Someone’s tried to kill themselves!
Author..
Okay I know Junggukk named doesn't mean that.. But heheheee it's story righttt...😁
Ch 3: The Little Doctor at the Clinic
Junggukk woke up to find himself lying in a small clinic. Next to him stood a doctor, sterilizing tweezers and scissors. When he heard movement from the bed, Little Doctor turned his head and gave a warm smile, revealing two rows of clean, white teeth...
Junggukk noticed - this doctor was actually quite handsome.
Junggukk
Who brought me here?
While putting his tools away, Jimin replied casually...
Park Jimin
Your girlfriend found two guys to carry you over. She even told me specifically to use the cheapest medication – and only the kind that’s covered by insurance.
Junggukk laughed, almost happily..
Junggukk
She really knows me well..
Jimin's handsome face froze for a second. A slight, unreadable smile tugged at the corner of his lips. He walked over to Junggukk and handed him a glass of water...
Park Jimin
Take your medicine first...
After taking the pills, Junggukk hurriedly asked...
Junggukk
Where's my girlfriend?..
Park Jimin
She left a while ago. Right after I finished treating your wound. It’s been, what,three or four hours now? Hey, what happened to your head?
Junggukk
Got hit with a brick,
Park Jimin
You got into a fight?
Junggukk
Nope. My girlfriend wanted to break up with me. I wanted to make a statement.
Park Jimin had never heard of someone making a statement by bashing their own head in with a brick.
Park Jimin
Was it worth it?..
he asked, half-teasing...
Junggukk didn’t reply. He picked up his phone and called Hanzhi.
Junggukk
Do you still want to break up with me?📲
There was silence on the other end for a long time...
Xiang Hanzhi.
Just focus on healing for now. We’ll talk later...📲
Junggukk hung up with a satisfied smile, waving the phone at Jimin.
Junggukk
She said she won’t break up with me for now. Worth it? Hell yeah!..
Jimin hid the look of contempt that flickered in his eyes, keeping a friendly smile on his face..
Junggukk
Doctor, how long will this take to heal?
Park Jimin
At least two months.
Junggukk groaned in despair...
Junggukk
That’s gonna cost a fortune…
Night fell... The clinic was quiet just Junggukk and the little doctor Jimin remained.Junggukk had an IV drip in one hand and his phone in the other, playing a game of Zuma. Jimin stood beside him, watching him play completely wrong firing random colored balls and dying in minutes but he kept retrying again and again....
Jimin cleared his throat...
Park Jimin
Your head’s busted and you’re still playing games?
Junggukk
I’m bored. This is the only game I have. But I just can’t pass this level...
A slight smirk crept onto Jimin’s handsome face...
Park Jimin
You keep playing like that, no wonder. You're just firing randomly...
Junggukk
I’m not! I follow the rules!...
Jimin was the for a bit longer, 10 suddenly realized something and asked...
Park Jimin
Are you colorblind?....
Junggukk
no I can tell colors apart...
Still suspicious, Jimin asked Junggukk to pause the game and pointed at a red ball..
Park Jimin
What color is this?
Junggukk answered, dead serious
then he pointed to a green one..
Finally pointed, to a purple one...
Jimin burst out laughing and patted on the shoulder..
Park Jimin
Dude, your definitely colour blind. Give it up. You can play until you die and still not pass....
But Jungkook kept holding up his phone, completely unfazed..
Junggukk
No big deal.Just training my eyes..
Jimin found Junggukk amusing and ended up chatting with him more..
Park Jimin
So, why did she want to break up with you?
Junggukk curled his lips.
Junggukk
Said I was too fat...🥺
Then he tossed his wallet over... Inside was a photo of him and Hanzhi during their first year of college, he was nearly fifty pounds lighter back then..
Jimin looked at it and felt kind of bad for him...
Park Jimin
Not to be rude, but yeah… she is better-looking than you now. Honestly, I think she and someone else would be a better match. Don’t take it the wrongway..
Junggukk
Hey! Hey! What kind of thing is that to say?
Park Jimin
Just being honest...🤷
Junggukk
What do you know? This....this guy here... is me! The real deal!...
Junggukk pointed at himself, then at the photo... Jimin quickly snatched the photo back, scrutinizing it and comparing it to Junggukk’s current face. Yeah… there was definitely a resemblance.... Chubby guys really were hidden gems... And now Jimin suddenly understood why Hanzhi wanted to break up – anyone would be shocked by such a transformation....
Park Jimin
Man, you need to lose that weight. Look at you in the photo.. thick eyebrows,sharp eyes, smart and sharp. Look at you now – still got the big eyes, but now you just look dazed...
Park Jimin
Why would I lie?..
Jimin said as he pulled the IV needle out...
Park Jimin
You’ll be on a restricted diet while you heal anyway.. might as well start losing weight...
Two months passed in a flash.
Junggukk’s wound had healed completely, smooth and scar-free. Just like Jimin suggested, Junggukk had eaten vegetarian the whole time, and he’d shed over twenty pounds. He actually looked much better...
He could feel it just walking, lighter and quicker. That day, he bought two packs of cigarettes and returned to the clinic to thank Jimin...
Junggukk
I’ve been coming here for two months straight. Honestly, I’m a little reluctant to leave...
Jimin laughed heartily...
Park Jimin
Well then, if you’re gonna miss me that much,go smash your head in again and we’ll see each other every day!..😂😂
Junggukk laughed, waved goodbye to Jimin, and strode off with a new spring in his step...
