Space and Rebirth: The Favored Genius Doctor and Businessman
chapter 1
A touch of sunlight sprinkled in from the window, Kim Taehyung frowned, slowly opened his eyes. He felt a pang of pain in his head, and his long hair flowed down his ears. Kim Taehyung was stunned, was someone playing with him again?
Kim Taehyung (ore)
Hadn't his hair been cut clean by Lee Yunho a long time ago? Why was it they still here?
The air exuded a faint, pleasant fragrance. Kim Taehyung turned his head and saw a bowl of sweet porridge on the table. But when he saw it, his heart was violently shaken!
This was the place where he used to live!
His eyes fell on a clean bedroom. He could see his favorite vase on the table, complete with stumps of Lucky Bamboo sitting in it. He also saw the blue gauze blanket laid out across his bed. Although the things in the room weren't worth much, they were all he owned during what he had believed to be the happiest time of his life.
The panic-stricken Kim Taehyung grabbed a nearby mirror with shaking hands. The reflection in the mirror was both familiar yet foreign. The face was indeed his, but it was him from years ago!
Kim Taehyung (ore)
(No, it can't be.....he has been reborn!)
Kim Taehyung (ore)
Everything from the healthy and youthful skin on his face to the calendar hanging on the wall.....everything was telling him that his thoughts were right! This was 10 years ago! He's only 15!
Kim Taehyung (ore)
*He clenched his fists.* Everything in his past life seemed like nothing but a nightmare he'd never forget. It has been a long time since it's engraved into his heart.
Whenever he thought about what had happened, Kim Taehyung's heart trembled. After some time had passed, he finally got out of bed and opened the door. He saw a bunch of familiar faces in the living room. As he saw the faces of his enemies, his blood began to boil.
There were four people sitting in the living room: two adults and two children.
They were his mother Lim Ji-Yeon, his stepfather Lee Byun, and a pair of twins: Lee Yunho and Lee Soo-Hyuk.
Kim Taehyung (ore)
In his past life, he had believed that Lim Ji-Yeon was his biological mother, but he found out later that he was only a baby Lim Ji-Yeon had found and adopted. His surname, Kim was the character that was carved on a piece of jade found on him. Lim Ji-Yeon had always been good to him, but that was only when he wasn't fighting with Lee Yunho and Lee Soo-Hyuk.
Kim Taehyung (ore)
In regards to his stepfather, Lee Byun.... Kim Taehyung could only feel disgust and hatred.
Kim Taehyung (ore)
In his past life, an incident happened around this time when Lim Ji-Yeon finally succumbed to her illness and passed away. All this did was make her even more of an unwanted bastard in the household. As Lee Byun was a man driven by his lust, he did not hold back. After his wife had passed away, he began to touch Kim Taehyung inappropriately. Because he was young and scared, Taehyung was too afraid to report him and could only do his best to avoid him. He thought that if he entered college, he'd be able to escape from this monster.
Kim Taehyung (ore)
But he didn't think that the thought of letting him continue his schooling had never even crossed Lee Byun's mind. He used his position as Taehyung's legal guardian to force him to quit school. After this He made him cook and clean for his family.
Kim Taehyung (ore)
Even though he had spent five years living in fear at the house, he never gave Lee Byun what he wanted. Nevertheless, Lee Byun's thoughts and desires were eventually discovered by Lee Yunho.
He spread rumors of Kim Taehyung seducing his own stepfather, ruining his reputation. Every time he went outside, people would point and gossip.
The year he turned 20, he met a former classmate. The other party enthusiastically pursued it and made everyone known in the town.
Kim Taehyung (ore)
He understood his position and situation, so he had never even planned on accepting him. However, Lee Byun still didn't forgive him.
One night, Lee Byun was consumed with rage and couldn't hold it in anymore. He finally laid his hands on Taehyung. During that night of resistance, Kim Taehyung accidentally killed him. It was a clear case of self-defense, but Lee Yunho and Lee Soo-Hyuk turned white into black and black into white (they altered the truth), and Kim Taehyung was sentenced to jail.
Kim Taehyung (ore)
After he was jailed, the person who had been chasing relentlessly after him told Kim Taehyung that he had never liked him. He had only chased Taehyung because he wanted to stimulate Lee Yunho. The only person he had ever liked was Lee Yunho!
chapter 2
Kim Taehyung (ore)
As he thought of the past, the only thing Kim Taehyung wanted to do was to give these people what they deserved. Unfortunately, he knew too well of his own powerlessness. If he was to do something right now, the one who did suffer from consequences would be himself!
Lee Yunho (ore)
"Hyung, you're awake? That's great. Mom is so sick, I was really afraid that something would happen to our family...." Yunho pretended to care.
Kim Taehyung (ore)
Lim Ji-Yeon's face was pale. She was beyond cure. If he remembers correctly, Lim Ji-Yeon's death should be near. They should've already started making their preparations.
Lee Byun
"Taehyung, don't you know any better? Your mom's still sick. Instead of staying home and helping her, you're out there messing around with some hooligans. Do you know what would've happened if it weren't for the policeman passing by?" Lee Byun scolded.
Taehyung had fainted, and it was all thanks to Lee Yunho.
Kim Taehyung (ore)
Although, he was only 15 years old this year, but he was already in high school. Yesterday was Friday. When he was waiting for the bus to return home, a bunch of hooligans forced him to stay. They acted as if they were quite acquainted with him in front of the other students passing by. Afterward, they took his to into an alleyway. If it weren't for a passing policeman, his innocence would've been ruined.
Kim Taehyung (ore)
Originally, he didn't even think that all of this had been planned. After Lim Ji-Yeon's death, he had seen Lee Yunho together with the hooligans. That was when everything became clear.
Kim Taehyung (ore)
Lee Yunho was younger than him by almost a year. Kim Taehyung had never thought that he would be this scheming and cruel!
Kim Taehyung (ore)
"Dad, you know, my grade is ranked first in the whole school. Even number two is far from catching up. Do you think that a student like me would have a relationship with those hooligans? It's obvious that those people are deliberately bullying me." Taehyung said without hesitation
Kim Taehyung (ore)
If it was before, he would have endured and admitted his mistakes. But now, since I am not ready to get along, why should I be so careful?
Lee Yunho (ore)
When Lee Yunho heard Kim Taehyung's words, his face turned red and white.
He, Kim Taehyung,, and his younger brother, Lee Soo-Hyuk, all went to the same school. However, the difference was that his younger brother's grade wasn't good and he had to spend money to get in. On the other hand, even if he did his best, he could only get second place in the school!
Kim Taehyung was like a mountain. His grades were always better than his. No matter how hard he worked, Taehyung's grades were always better than his.
Lee Yunho (ore)
"Mom.... The teacher said that my grades can improve, but recently, I really can't focus on my studies like Brother. I'm worried about your health. Mom, I'm really scared. Every time in class, I can't concentrate. I can't even sleep well.." Lee Yunho immediately hugged Lim Ji-Yeon's arm.
In the end he was still her biological son. The way Lim Ji-Yeon looked at Lee Yunho was always filled with love.
Kim Taehyung (ore)
Taehyung's heart turned cold.
Kim Taehyung (ore)
He still respected Lim Ji-Yeon as his mother. After all, she had raised him for more than ten years. However, he was still bitterly disappointed.
Lim Ji-Yeon rarely showed such an expression to him. Most of the time, her smile was fake. He had been asked to do this and that for Lee Yunho since he was young. As long as he didn't agree, Lim Ji-Yeon would get angry and scold him.
In the past, he didn't understand why there was such a big difference between the two of them. Now, he understood.
He was picked up by Lim Ji-Yeon. At that time, Lim Ji-Yeon was already pregnant. She originally wanted to throw the child away, but she was afraid of committing a sin. Feeling uneasy, she found a fortune-teller to read his fortune. The fortune-teller said that although he has a tough life, he was a lucky star for Lim Ji-Yeon's child. He could block evil and protect her child's life of safety and wealth.
chapter 3
Kim Taehyung (ore)
If the fortune-teller had not said that, Taehyung might have not survived. But even if he died outside, it was better than being humiliated and tortured by the Lee family in his previous life.
Lim Ji-Yeon
"Taehyung, Yunho is your brother. How can an elder brother talk about his younger brother like that? You have good grades, but didn't you inherit my genes? Yunho is a good child. He has been giving in to you since you were young. Otherwise, how could you have gotten first place in school? Cough cough!" Lim Ji-Yeon finished speaking in one breath, and her face turned red.
She had already resigned herself to her illness, but she was still worried about her both sons.
She even suspected that the fortune-teller had misnamed Kim Taehyung, and that was why her lifespan was shortened.
Kim Taehyung (ore)
"Mom, you are right. I did inherit your genes. Yunho inherited more from dad. Look, I don't look like Yunho at all" Kim Taehyung said deliberately.
Lim Ji-Yeon choked and glared at him.
She felt that Taehyung seemed to have taken the wrong medicine today. His words were full of sarcasm, and it made her uncomfortable.
Lim Ji-Yeon
"Okay, okay. When did you learn to be so talkative? You should learn from Yunho. Ores and girls should be gentle and sensible. Otherwise, how can you find a husband in the future?" Lim Ji-Yeon was angry, and she felt more and more uncomfortable.
Lim Ji-Yeon's illness came suddenly. She usually did not feel uncomfortable, but one day, she was sent to the hospital. They found that she had a malignant tumor in her liver.
After a period of treatment, it didn't work. Moreover, her hair was gone, and she looked listless.
The Lee family was just an ordinary family. They did not have much money. When Lim Ji-Yeon fell ill, they lost more than half of their savings. The doctor asked the family to prepare for her funeral. Lim Ji-Yeon knew that she did not have long to live, so she insisted on moving back home. She didn't want to die in the horrible hospital.
Lim Ji-Yeon's health did improve when she was at home, so she was even more unwilling to go back.
Kim Taehyung (ore)
Kim Taehyung didn't want to argue with her. He turned around and went to the kitchen to fill his stomach.
He owed the Lee family, but all the chores he had done for the Lee family over the years, as well as the money he earned from working outside in his previous life, had been given to the Lee family without leaving a single cent behind. In the end, he still ended up in such a miserable state. No matter what, it was enough.
Kim Taehyung (ore)
Moreover, his grades had been good since he was young. Even when he was in elementary school, he had participated in many competitions and won prizes. After that, he didn't spend a single cent of his family's money. Usually, he had to eat and drink less. Why?
As for the sweet porridge in the room, he (Taehyung) did not dare to drink it.
In his previous life, after eating that porridge, he vomited and had diarrhea and stayed at home for a week.
In the past, he thought that everything he did was right and that he was happy in this family. But now, it was impossible for him to think that way.
There wasn't much to eat at home, and Kim Taehyung wasn't picky. He ate a little and began to plan for the future.
Lee Yunho (ore)
"Hyung, isn't there porridge in the room? Why are you still going to the kitchen to scoop?" Lee Yunho was a little unhappy as he asked.
Kim Taehyung (ore)
"I don't dare to drink cold porridge. What if I have diarrhea? Moreover, there's an exam on Monday. In the future, I won't touch such unsafe things." Taehyung replied with a deeper meaning
Lee Yunho (ore)
Lee Yuna panicked. "How can it be as bad as you say? You can have diarrhea just by drinking cold porridge? Hyung, you're getting more and more delicate!"
Kim Taehyung (ore)
"Yunho, your body has always been very good and not delicate. Why don't you go and drink that porridge?" Kim Taehyung retorted
Lim Ji-Yeon
"Kim Taehyung! If you're afraid of diarrhea, why do you want Yunho to drink it? Are you trying to rebel today?" Taehyung had just finished speaking when Lim Ji-Yeon's angry roar came from behind.
