Taena, the great dumb
Let's get it
The house is vast, almost hollow in its silence. In the middle of the grand hall, a man kneels on the cold floor, his posture broken, his pride long forgotten.
He clutches a women's hand tightly—too tightly—as if letting go will mean losing her forever.
? ? ?
Please, Jun.. Don't leave me like this! Dont go, Jun.
? ? ?
I am sorry... I really am!
His head drops in shame, shoulders shaking as quiet sobs escapes him.
The woman's grip on her suitcase tightens. Her eyes slowly closes, as if gathering what little strength she has left. Tears slip down her cheeks in a steady stream, silent but heavy with everything she refuses to say.
Her voice comes out sharp—firm, unyielding.
The man's head snaps up at her tone. His eyes are swollen, bloodshot, fills with pain and desperation as they searches her face.
Before he can say another word, she speaks again—
???
I said... Let go of my hand!!
This time her voice is COLDER. DISTANT. FINAL.
She looks straight at him, her eyes no longer soft—only fills with a quiet, cutting hatred.
That look alone is enough.
Slowly... Helplessly... He let her go.
Without another glance, she turns and walks away, her footsteps echoing through the empty hall.
Breaking apart in silence

End!

ARIRANG!!!!!!!!!!
Taena, the great dumb
Let's get it!!
At just twenty-eight, he had already become a name people spoke with caution.
The CEO of the KTH Empire, he isn't someone who build his reputation on luck. Every step he takes is calculated, every move precise and every enemy he makes, crushes without mercy. Cold, distant and dangerously unreadable, he carries a presence that make even the boldest hesitate.
People don't dare to cross him twice.
Tall and striking, he has a commanding presence that is impossible to ignore. Sharp jawline, perfectly sculpted features and deep, piercing eyes that hold no warmth for strangers—just one look from him is something about him...
But the man the world fears is not the man his family knows.
He had lost his father at the age of twenty-two—a loss that hardened him, forced him to grow faster than he ever should have. Since then, the weight of everything had fallen on his shoulders. And he had carried it without complaint.
His world is small—just his mother and his younger sister.
For them, he is not the ruthless CEO—
He is their shield. That he thinks.
Fiercely protective, he never allows even the slightest harm to reach them. Anyone who dares to threaten his family will face a version of him far more terrifying than his silence. He doesn't just fight back—
He erases threats completely.
Yet, despite all his power, there is one person he can never go against.
Her words hold a quiet authority over him, he never questions. No matter how feared he was outside, in front of her, he is still a son who listens, who obeys without hesitation.
A man feared by the world...
But bound by love to the only family he had left.
She sits in the heart of the mansion like she owns not just the house—but everyone inside it.
At fifty-two, the mother of THE GREAT, KIM TAEHYUNG, carries herself with quiet authority, with one defining trait—she demands perfection in everything. Every detail, every decision, every movement has to meet her standards. Every corner of the estate moves under her watchful eye; nothing escapes her control. Managing the mansion is only the surface—behind it, she is constantly weaving plans, especially when it comes to securing “perfect” life partners for her son and daughter.
But her ambitions doesn’t stop at the family. At times, she even steps into the affairs of KTH Empire, making decisions that aren’t hers to make—yet no one dares to question her.
She is calculating, deeply strategic… the kind of woman who smiles sweetly while pulling strings in the shadows. Money isn’t just important to her—it is power, security, and obsession. It is the very reason she married Kim Taemin, tying herself to wealth and status through Kim Taehyung’s father.
Now, her focus has narrowed to one goal: complete control over her son.
To the world, she is elegant and composed.
But beneath that grace, she is dangerous.
From the very beginning, she often describes as her mother's reflection—
Because in this house there is only one queen.
At twenty-five, she carries the same sharp instincts, the same hunger for control, and the same cold understanding of how the world works. People aren't people to her—they are opportunities, stepping stones, or obstacles. She knows how to build strategies, how to manipulate outcomes, how to play her role with near perfection… yet, no matter how close she comes, she can never reach her mother’s level.
Perfection, for her, is something she chases—not something she embodies. And whenever her carefully crafted plans begin to crack, she turns to the one person who never fails—her mother.
Money isn’t just important to her—it defines everything. And a person’s worth? It begins and ends with their wealth, their status, and their appearance. She doesn't believe in love without benefit. If anything, she is the kind who will choose gold over emotions—every single time.
When she was nineteen, her father died.
Just like her mother, she felt no real loss—only the shifting of power and position.
She claimed to care for her brother… and perhaps, in her own way, she does. But not enough to put him before herself.
What she truly wanted was—
But it was never hers to have.
Taehyung, the eldest son, inherited everything—the empire, the authority, and the majority of their father Kim Taemin’s wealth. Being the favored child has its advantages, and he has received far more than she ever did.
And that was something she could never accept.
Plays the role of a loving sister.
But beneath it all, she isn't standing beside her brother—

Taena, the great dumb
Let's get it!!
At twenty-four, she stands as the heart of her own little world—a bakery she had built from the ground up, entirely on her own. Not with her father’s money, not with anyone’s support, but with her own determination and quiet strength.
At first glance, she seems soft—innocent, even a little naive.
But she isn’t as fragile as people assumes.
She is gentle, but not weak. Innocent, but not unaware. There is a quiet balance within her—a strength that doesn't need to prove itself loudly. And while her warmth can melt hearts, she isn’t easily sways by everyone. With strangers who give her the wrong feeling, she can turn unexpectedly cold, keeping her distance without hesitation.
Kindness comes naturally to her. It isn’t forced, it isn’t strategic—it is simply who she is. There is something about her presence, something warm and comforting, that makes people feel at ease… like stepping into sunlight after a long, cold day.
She is sweet—effortlessly so.
And at home, she is cherishes.
The most beloved daughter of her family, especially to her elder brother, who adores her endlessly. To him, she is someone to protect, to spoil, to place above everything else. And she, in return, trusts him completely. More than anyone else in the world. Any decision he makes for her, she accepts without doubt—because her faith in him is absolute.
She has two sisters, both of whom she loves deeply, holding them close to her heart.
For her family, she can do anything.
But her life hasn’t always been this warm.
At the age of eleven, she lost her father.
And that loss… left a mark that never truly fades.
ENDEARING, YET UNBREAKABLE
At twenty-six, she is the kind of person people struggles to understand—because nothing about her feels normal.
Where warmth should have been, there was something… off.
She is volatile, unpredictable, and dangerously impulsive. Anger comes to her faster than reason, and once it does, there was no controlling it. But beneath that temper lay something even sharper—a mind that knows exactly what it wants.
And what she wants is simple—
To her, those are the only things worth loving.
She has a way of drawing people in—seductive, calculated, almost as if she has mastered the art of temptation itself. If someone has wealth and the right looks, she won’t hesitate. Morals, limits, consequences—none of it matters. Once she set her eyes on something, she will cross any line to get it.
But her darkest side is reserves for someone closer.
The one who is cherishes, protects, adores—especially by their elder brother.
Not just a little. Completely.
It isn’t just jealousy—it is obsession. She doesn’t just want love… she wants all of it. The attention, the care, the affection—every bit that her sister receives, she believes it should have been hers.
Subtly, carefully, sometimes recklessly—she creates situations, plantes doubts, and pushes boundaries… all to make her family see her sister differently. To make them question her. To make them pull away.
Because if she can’t be loved more—
She will make sure her sister is loved less.
When her father died, she was thirteen.
Not because she was strong—but because she felt nothing.
And from that day on… she changed.
Not gradually. Completely.
Something shifted inside her that day—something no one understands.
No one knows what happened.
At twenty-eight, she stands as a force entirely of her own making
No inheritance. No shortcuts. No one to lean on.
She built everything herself.
A fashion designer by passion and profession, she founded her own company with nothing but her own money, her own vision, and relentless determination. What others take years—decades, even—to achieve, she has reached in just four years. Through struggle, sleepless nights, and silent battles no one ever has saw, she has carved her name into the industry and has turned her brand into something people can’t ignore.
She is sharp. Bold. Unapologetically savage when needs. The kind of woman who doesn’t hesitate to answer back, who refuses to be underestimated, and who never let anyone cross her without consequences.
An introvert by nature, she doesn’t waste warmth on strangers. Her first impression is always cold, distant—observing, analyzing, judging. Only after she understands someone did she allow even a hint of familiarity. But inside her company, she is different—not warm, but strictly professional. Rules matters. Discipline matters. And it is that very mindset that brought her success.
She is intelligent—exceptionally so.
There is a certain edge to her, a quiet intensity that make people think twice before getting too close. With a personality that leans toward a tomboyish confidence, she carries herself with a kind of effortless strength that doesn’t seek approval.
When her father died, she was fifteen.
She held herself together, forced herself to move forward—and from that day on, something within her changed. Not loudly, not visibly… but enough to make her prefer solitude over company. There is a reason behind it, something buries deep, something only she knows.
Among everyone, there is only one person who can reach her without trying.
Her second younger sister—Jung Yijun.
She does care for Jung Sujin too—but not in the same way. Something about her never sits right. Her feelings toward Yijun are complicates, often laces with irritation. At times, Sujin will snap at everyone, loses her temper… and strangely, Her older sister, finds amusement in it. Not out of cruelty, but in a way that blurry the line between frustration and playful teasing.
She never sits her down to explain things. Never softens her words with affection.
At best, she guides Sujin indirectly.
At worst, she let her learn the hard way.
Still, despite everything—her distance, her silence, her sharp edges—she respects and cares for her family deeply.
And if anything ever threatens them—
Even if she has to stand alone,
She will fight for them until her very last breath.
At thirty, he stands at the top—untouchable in the business world, yet deeply roots in his family.
The CEO of JH Empire, Asia’s number one company, he carries a legacy that began with his father, who has once built it into Korea’s finest. But where his father stopped, he went further—turning it into something far greater, something no one can rival.
At seventeen, when most were still figuring out life, he lost his father.
And in that moment, everything fell onto his shoulders.
He stepped up, held everything together, and never looked back.
To his family, he is warmth itself—their anchor, their comfort, their quiet strength. The one who make sure no matter how broken things felt, they are never alone.
But to the outside world, he is different.
He is nothing short of dangerous.
Among all his sisters, there is one who hold a special place in his heart—his youngest, Jung Yijun. He adores her, spoils her, places her above everything without even realizing it. Though he loves all three of his sisters, when it comes to affection, she is always the one he cherishes the most.
He often tries to correct Sujin, to guide her, to fix the parts of her that keep going wrong.
But nothing ever changes.
With Yunjin, it is different.
When she decided to build her own company, he had offered help—without hesitation, without conditions.
And instead of anger, he felt pride.
Pride in their independence. Pride in their strength.
Sujin, however… has a different story.
With her, it is always disappointment.
Still, he never controls their lives. He let them choose their own paths, make their own mistakes. But when things crossed a line—when it went too far—he steps in.
Because when it comes to his family, he is fiercely protective.
Especially when it comes to Yijun.
For her, there is nothing he won’t do.
At fifty-six, she lives a life centered around her family and the quiet responsibilities that comes with it.
The mansion, her children, and their futures—that is her world.
She spends her days managing the household and, more than anything, searching for suitable life partners for her children. Not out of control or ambition, but out of care… a mother’s constant desire to see her children settled and happy.
Unlike others, she never chases perfection.
She doesn’t try to control her children or shape them into something they aren't. All she wants is their happiness. Their peace.
With them, she is warmth itself—gentle, kind, and endlessly patient.
But when it comes to values…
Those are non-negotiable.
She often keep herself informed about the company through Hoseok, quietly staying aware of the world her children are part of. And when needs—when he hesitates or felt the weight of it all—she stands beside him, offering support in the ways only she can.
Still, her heart is never at ease.
She worries constantly for Yijun.
The day her husband, Jung Hyujun, passed away… Yijun had shattered completely. And that memory never left her. Even now, she carries that fear within her—that her daughter may break again.
If Yijun is her worry, Sujin is her unrest.
No matter how much she tries, no matter how gently or firmly she guides her… Sujin never changes. And perhaps that troubles her even more than anything else.
In moments like those, she finds herself missing her husband the most.
The man she has loved deeply.
When he died, she didn’t have the luxury to fall apart.
Because she had four children who needed her.
Held herself together when everything inside her was breaking.
And from that day on, she became more than just a mother—
She became the strength that held the entire family intact.
