I Am This Type of Omega (TAEKOOK)
chapter - 1.1
It was an autumn day in September, and the whole world was immersed in the joy of a bountiful harvest.
However, inside the Jeon Marquis Manor, the sound of porcelain shattering echoed from the Marquis' study.
A man who looked more like a street thug than a dignified marquis stood inside, roaring with rage.
Jeon marquis/ Jeon jungsuk/ koo's father
"In this capital city of Beijing, someone actually dares to offend my Jungkook! I'll kill him!"
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
"Father, don't be angry! I'll go find someone to beat him up!"
Jeon marquis/ Jeon jungsuk/ koo's father
"You find someone to beat him up, and I'll go ask His Majesty to clean him up!"
Before the father and son could continue making a scene, the study door was kicked open with a loud bang.
Yon shi/ koo's mother
[Yin Shi, the Marquis' wife, strode inside with a furious expression.]
"Is this still not enough? Or do you think the rumors outside aren't already bad enough?"
Both the Jeon Marquis and his son immediately fell silent.
Jeon marquis/ Jeon jungsuk/ koo's father
[The Marquis quietly lowered the foot he had arrogantly placed on a chair.]
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
[While Jungwoo quickly pulled down the sleeves he had rolled up.]
It was such a beautiful September day, yet Yin Shi felt nothing but anger.
Yon shi/ koo's mother
[Ignoring the broken porcelain scattered across the floor, she walked straight to a chair and sat down.]
The maidservants who had followed her hurriedly knelt to clean up the shattered pieces with their bare hands.
The gentle clinking of porcelain only made Yin Shi even angrier.
Yon shi/ koo's mother
[Suddenly, she slammed her palm onto the table so hard that the teacup jumped.]
"He's just someone raised by a small family! The moment he passed the Imperial Examination, he suddenly wanted to break off the engagement."
Yon shi/ koo's mother
"Acting as though our Marquis Manor forced him to marry my son! What kind of shameless trick is this?"
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
[Jungwoo quickly leaned over with a flattering smile.]
"Mother, don't be angry. Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere."
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
"If our family wants to deal with him, all we need to do is say a few words. Don't let someone like him make you angry."
Yon shi/ koo's mother
"I don't want to be angry either... but have you ever seen such an absurd farce?"
Any mother whose precious child's engagement had been broken off three different times would naturally be in a terrible mood.
Yin Shi had only one alpha and one omega son.
Jeon marquis/ Jeon jungsuk/ koo's father
[Although the Jeon Marquis was lazy, carefree, and rather ridiculous, he was never a womanizer.]
There were no concubines in the household.
When Jungkook was born, Yin Shi had arranged a childhood engagement with the son of her closest friend.
Unfortunately, the child died at only three years old.
When Jungkook turned thirteen, he was engaged to Xie Qilin, the second young master of Zhongping Count Manor.
xie qilin/ jungkook's 2nd ex- fianceé
[Who could have expected that just before the marriage, Xie Qilin would suddenly find his so-called "True Love" in a brothel and elope with that Omega?]
The entire capital laughed at Jungkook.
Everyone mocked him, saying that he couldn't even compete with an Omega from a brothel.
Otherwise, why would the young master of a respectable noble family abandon a proper marriage and run away with someone who couldn't even appear in public?
Although Xie Qilin was eventually found and brought back, the marriage naturally fell apart.
Since then, the two families had cut off all contact and had practically become enemies.
This time, the matter was even more ridiculous.
Shen yu/ jungkook's 3rd ex-fiancé
[Shen Yu came from a distant branch of the Shen family in Dongzhou, a family that could barely be considered noble.]
Shen yu/ jungkook's 3rd ex-fiancé
[After arriving in the capital, he claimed that he had fallen in love with Jungkook at first sight.]
Shen yu/ jungkook's 3rd ex-fiancé
[Both he and his family had repeatedly begged for the engagement.]
Yet, not long after the engagement was agreed upon, he immediately turned his back on them.
On the surface, Shen Yu politely claimed that he wasn't worthy of Jungkook.
But in reality, he simply looked down on Jungkook.
Shen yu/ jungkook's 3rd ex-fiancé
[He believed Jungkook was nothing more than a beautiful Omega with no brains, someone who only cared about luxury and living lazily.]
Why hadn't he said that before becoming the Imperial Examination's Tanhua?
Only after obtaining fame did he suddenly despise Jungkook's extravagant lifestyle.
So what if they allowed their son to live extravagantly?
Their Jeon Marquis Manor had more than enough money.
While the three members of the Jeon family were so furious they could barely swallow their anger...
The person who had been abandoned was still sleeping peacefully.
Jungkook had a very long dream.
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
[When he finally woke up, he couldn't tell whether everything he had experienced was a dream or reality.]
Only after sitting up and seeing the pearl curtains hanging outside his bed did he realize it had all been a dream.
What exactly had he dreamed about?
It seemed...
He had been abandoned again.
Someone had overthrown the Emperor.
His father lost his title after offending the new Emperor.
After that, their entire family lived a miserable life.
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
"Heavens... Those days were terrifying."
He couldn't compare jewelry with others anymore.
He had to wear coarse, plain clothes meant for people living in hardship.
Even worse...
He could no longer watch those people who secretly hated him while pretending to be respectful.
Life became unbelievably boring.
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
💭What an unlucky dream.
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
"The sooner I forget it, the better."
jungkook's maid
[Just then, his maid rushed into the room crying.]
"Xiangjun! Shen Tanhua has come to break off the engagement!"
<<Xiangjun (乡君) — A Xiangjun is a female noble title granted to women related to the imperial family or high-ranking nobles.>>
<<It is similar to being called:
Lady Jeon
Noble Lady Jeon >>
<<Tanhua (探花) — This is not a noble rank.
The Imperial Examination had three top winners:
Zhuangyuan – 1st place
Bangyan – 2nd place
Tanhua – 3rd place >>
<<So Shen Tanhua means:
Shen Yu, who achieved 3rd place in the highest imperial examination.>>
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
[Jungkook immediately sat upright.]
"Break off the engagement?"
His nightmare had actually come true.
If his father lost his title as Jeon Marquis...
Then his younger brother would no longer be the Marquis' heir.
He himself would also lose his honored title of Xiangjun.
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
💭How could I continue enjoying a carefree life of eating, drinking, riding horses, admiring flowers, and having fun?
Life was already so short.
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
💭 Would I only be allowed to enjoy these few years?
Although Jungkook couldn't remember most of that strange dream...
He clearly remembered how miserable his life became after he lost his title.
Immediately, he forgot all sadness over the broken engagement.
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
[He hurriedly threw on his clothes and shoes before rushing toward the main courtyard.]
jungkook's maid
"Xiangjun! Your hair!"
chapter - 1.2
Fortunately, everyone in the Jeon Marquis Manor knew how to keep secrets.
Otherwise, tomorrow's biggest gossip in the capital would surely become—
"The Jeon Marquis' son went mad after his engagement was broken and ran wildly around the manor with disheveled clothes and hair."
In fact...
That was exactly what the Jeon Marquis thought the moment he saw Jungkook.
Jeon marquis/ Jeon jungsuk/ koo's father
[The Jeon Marquis watched his lovely son rush into the study with messy hair and wrinkled clothes.]
Jeon marquis/ Jeon jungsuk/ koo's father
[His eyes instantly turned red.]
My precious son..."
Jeon marquis/ Jeon jungsuk/ koo's father
"Forget getting married!"
Jeon marquis/ Jeon jungsuk/ koo's father
"Tomorrow, Father will buy you a dozen handsome gigolos! Some skilled in literature, some talented in martial arts, and every one of them incredibly handsome!"
Jeon marquis/ Jeon jungsuk/ koo's father
"You can choose whichever one you like!"
Jeon marquis/ Jeon jungsuk/ koo's father
"All the men in this world are pigs!"
At that moment, the Jeon Marquis had completely excluded himself from the category of men.
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
[Jungwoo looked at Jungkook with obvious envy.]
💭 I didn't even have a single attendant, yet no one had ever offered to buy one for me.
Among scholars, having beautiful attendants with "red sleeves adding fragrance" while studying at night was considered quite elegant.
<< "red sleeves adding fragrance" — It refers to a beautiful female attendant, maid, or concubine quietly accompanying a scholar while he studies.>>
Yon shi/ koo's mother
"Don't even think about it."
[She narrowed her eyes and glared at Jungwoo.]
Yon shi/ koo's mother
"You'll stay home and study properly."
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
"I... I wasn't thinking about anything..."
Yon shi/ koo's mother
"I gave birth to you. The moment your eyes move, I know exactly what you're thinking."
Yon shi/ koo's mother
[She then look at her little omega son, seeing Jungkook like this softened Yin Shi's heart even more.]
Yon shi/ koo's mother
[She wished she could tear Shen Yu into pieces with her bare hands.]
However, she feared that showing too much anger would only upset Jungkook further.
Yon shi/ koo's mother
[So she forced herself to calm down and gently patted Jungkook's back.]
Only then did she notice that jungkook's body was trembling.
Yon shi/ koo's mother
"Your father was speaking nonsense just now..."
Yon shi/ koo's mother
"But there are many men in this world."
Yon shi/ koo's mother
"Even if you never find someone suitable, it doesn't matter."
Yon shi/ koo's mother
"You own shares in the family's shops, farms, and businesses."
Yon shi/ koo's mother
"You have wealth."
Yon shi/ koo's mother
"You have status."
Yon shi/ koo's mother
"No one will dare mistreat you."
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
[Jungkook rubbed his head against Yin Shi's shoulder.]
"I'm not sad because that guy broke off the engagement."
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
"I'm just... a little scared."
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
"I had a very strange dream."
Yon shi/ koo's mother
"What dream?"
[Secretly, Yin Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief.]
At least her son didn't seem heartbroken over the broken engagement.
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
"A new Emperor ascended the throne..."
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
"And he stripped Father of his title..."
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
"Removed Father's title?!"
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
"Who is this new Emperor?"
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
"We'll kill him first!"
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
"I... can't remember. But he should be a very powerful man."
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
"You don't remember who he is, yet you remember how powerful he is?"
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
"That's far too unreliable."
Yon shi/ koo's mother
[Yin Shi lightly smacked Jungwoo's back before he could continue teasing Jungkook.]
"How can dreams be taken seriously?"
Yon shi/ koo's mother
"Anyone can become Emperor in a dream."
Yon shi/ koo's mother
"Don't be afraid. Dreams are fake."
Yon shi/ koo's mother
"Isn't our family doing perfectly well now? And on top of that your grandmother is the Eldest Princess."
Yon shi/ koo's mother
"Who would dare touch us?"
Yon shi/ koo's mother
"Wouldn't they fear being scolded by their ancestors?"
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
"But... the new Emperor wasn't from the Jiang family."
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
"The one who ascended the throne was a sinister court official... someone with deep ambitions."
Yon shi/ koo's mother
[Yin Shi sharply inhaled. She immediately glanced toward the door.]
Fortunately, all the servants had already withdrawn.
Only the four family members remained inside.
Yon shi/ koo's mother
"You must never say such nonsense outside."
Jungkook knew his mother didn't believe the dream.
To be honest...
Even he doubted it.
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
"In my dream, I was abandoned."
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
"But when I woke up, Shen Yu really came to break off the engagement."
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
"So... What if the dream is actually real?"
Yon shi/ koo's mother
"......"
Jeon marquis/ Jeon jungsuk/ koo's father
"......"
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
"......"
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
[Jungkook, who had been a dandy brought up in luxury since childhood, looked nervously at Yin shi: ]
"Mother..."
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
"Why don't we secretly hide some gold, silver, and jewelry somewhere?"
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
"Father, you can't seriously believe my brother, he's already been abandoned several times."
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
"Just because this happened again, you're believing the dream? That's ridiculous."
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
[Jungwoo waved his hand.]
"Brother, you think about it again. In your dream, was there any other major event?"
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
"You're talking nonsense!"
[Jungkook raised a finger and poked Jungwoo's forehead.]
The priceless blood-red jade bracelet on his wrist flashed brilliantly, nearly blinding Jungwoo.
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
[Then Jungkook withdrew his hand and gently smoothed his messy black hair.]
"Let me think..."
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
"I'll think about it again."
Jeon marquis/ Jeon jungsuk/ koo's father
[The Jeon Marquis looked nervously at his son, desperately hoping the dream was nothing more than a dream.]
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
"Ah! I remembered something."
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
"Not long after Shen Yu broke off the engagement... Xie Qilin fell from a horse..."
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
"And lost one of his eyes."
Since Xie Qilin had abandoned him after their engagement, Jungkook remembered this incident especially clearly.
Thinking about it had eased his anger quite a bit in the dream.
Jeon marquis/ Jeon jungsuk/ koo's father
"As expected of my child!"
Jeon marquis/ Jeon jungsuk/ koo's father
"Even in your dreams, you never let anyone who offended you have a peaceful life!"
Jeon marquis/ Jeon jungsuk/ koo's father
"That sly Xie brat deserved it!"
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
"Exactly!"
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
"I'll make sure to trouble him every time I see him."
Yon shi/ koo's mother
"Yet every single time you pick a fight with him, you're the one who suffers."
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
"He's a scholar and has read far too many books."
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
"He's sly and cunning."
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
"Every time, he twists right and wrong until I can't argue anymore."
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
"But I don't really lose."
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
"No matter how much he insults me, it doesn't hurt."
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
"But if I punch him, he definitely feels pain."
In Jungwoo's world, being scolded wasn't considered a loss.
Getting beaten, however, was.
As for reputation.....
The young master of the Jeon family treated it as something as insignificant as clouds drifting through the sky.
Jeon marquis/ Jeon jungsuk/ koo's father
"My precious child..."
Jeon marquis/ Jeon jungsuk/ koo's father
"When exactly did that sly Xie brat lose his eye in your dream?"
Just like Jungwoo, Jungsuk had never cared much about reputation.
After all, ever since he was young, he had never heard anyone praise him.
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
"On the second day after Shen Yu broke off the engagement."
Jeon marquis/ Jeon jungsuk/ koo's father
"That's... tomorrow?"
chapter - 2.1
Early the next morning, the atmosphere inside Zhongping Count Manor was peaceful as usual.
A servant hurried through the courtyard before stopping outside the study. After taking a careful breath, he bowed respectfully.
servent from Zhongping Count Manor
"My Lord, this lowly one just saw servants from the Jeon Marquis Manor waiting outside our gate."
Count Zhongping/qilin & wanyu's father
[The moment Count Zhongping heard the words "Jeon Marquis Manor," his temples immediately began throbbing with pain.]
Among all the decisions he had made throughout his life, the one he regretted the most was agreeing to the engagement with the Jeon family.
Ever since the marriage agreement had fallen apart, people from the Jeon Marquis Manor came to cause trouble almost every single day.
If it had been any other noble family, they would have endured their grievances quietly to preserve their reputation.
Unfortunately...
The Jeon family had never understood the meaning of the words "saving face."
Jungsuk was idle enough to oppose Count Zhongping whenever he had the chance.
As for Jungwoo, he constantly looked for opportunities to pick fights with Xie Qilin.
Sometimes he even beat him up.
It was simply unbearable.
Count Zhongping/qilin & wanyu's father
"What are they planning to do this time?"
servent from Zhongping Count Manor
"This lowly one... doesn't know."
servent from Zhongping Count Manor
"He has only been squatting outside our gate without doing anything."
Count Zhongping/qilin & wanyu's father
"That entire household has something wrong with their brains, from the master down to the servants."
Count Zhongping/qilin & wanyu's father
"Are they planning to beat people right outside my gate next?"
servent from Zhongping Count Manor
[The servant silently lowered his head.]
servent from Zhongping Count Manor
[Inside his heart, however, he couldn't help thinking...]
💭 A few years ago, didn't the Jeon Marquis actually bring a group of servants here and smash their front gate?
The matter had even reached the Emperor.
Yet because the Jeon Marquis' mother was the Eldest Princess, His Majesty had merely scolded him a few times before letting him leave.
Not even a single hair on the Jeon Marquis' head had been harmed.
Meanwhile...
Count Zhongping had become so angry that he remained bedridden for nearly an entire month.
To Count Zhongping, the Jeon family was an existence that only appeared once every hundred years.
Count Zhongping/qilin & wanyu's father
💭 Father and son were exactly alike.
Because they were related to the Imperial Family, they caused trouble every single day while living leisurely without accomplishing anything.
Count Zhongping/qilin & wanyu's father
💭 In all these years...
I had never met such a brazen father-and-son pair.
Count Zhongping/qilin & wanyu's father
💭 With a father and brother like that...
How could their child(jungkook) possibly turn out any better?
Count Zhongping/qilin & wanyu's father
💭 What a ridiculous family.
Just as Count Zhongping continued cursing the Jeon father and son in his heart, hurried footsteps echoed outside.
housekeeper from Zhongping count manor
[The housekeeper rushed into the study with a pale face, breathing heavily.]
My Lord! Something terrible has happened!"
That very day, the capital's noble ladies found a brand-new topic for gossip.
The second son of Count Zhongping's family had somehow fallen from his horse.
Instead of breaking his arms or legs, his eye had struck a stone, leaving him blind in one eye.
Everyone found it unbelievable.
What kind of luck was that?
Soon, someone suddenly remembered that Xie Qilin had once been engaged to the Xiangjun ( noble lady) of the Jeon family.
Although their engagement had been broken off years ago, they had once shared a marriage contract.
Before long, rumors began spreading....
Perhaps the Xiangjun of the Jeon family truly possessed a cursed fate that brought misfortune to her future husband.
Otherwise...
How could a young master famous for his exceptional riding skills suddenly fall from his horse for no reason?
Once people became convinced of an idea, they ignored logic entirely and jumped straight to the conclusion they wanted.
Thus, the rumor quickly spread throughout the capital—
The Jeon family's Xiangjun possessed a fate that cursed her future husband.
Although the engagement had ended two years earlier and Count Zhongping's family had already begun arranging another marriage for Xie Qilin, many people still blamed Jungkook for his accident.
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
"I'm furious! I'm going to die from anger!"
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
[Having just returned home, Jungwoo angrily paced back and forth across the courtyard, unable to sit still.]
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
"Those idiots are talking complete nonsense! What does that black-hearted Xie falling off his horse and losing an eye have to do with my precious brother?"
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
[He clenched his fists tightly.]
"My brother didn't push him! And what husband are they talking about? He isn't my brother's husband at all! They're absolutely shameless!"
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
[Wearing an intricately embroidered skirt and an elegant palace flower hairpin, Jungkook slowly entered the courtyard, followed by several maidservants.]
His graceful appearance immediately brightened the surroundings.
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
"Those people are simply fools."
[He smiled calmly.]
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
"They don't care about the truth. They only want something entertaining to gossip about. Getting angry over what such people say is completely pointless."
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
"Who do you think I'm angry for?"
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
[He sat down heavily before dismissing all the servants with a wave of his hand.]
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
[After making sure no one remained inside the room, he swallowed nervously.]
"...Your dream... came true."
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
[Jungkook quietly sat beside him, resting his chin against one hand.]
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
[A helpless sigh escaped his lips.]
"Five years from now... you won't even be the respected heir of a Marquis anymore."
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
"Then you won't be a Xiangjun (noble lady Jeon) either."
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
[He glanced at the countless gold ornaments decorating Jungkook from head to toe before scratching his head helplessly.]
"So... what are we supposed to do now?"
The siblings simply stared at each other in silence.
Neither of them had any answer.
Just then, hurried footsteps echoed from outside.
Jeon marquis/ Jeon jungsuk/ koo's father
[Sweat covered Jungsuk's forehead as he rushed into the room while carrying a large bundle of portrait scrolls.]
"Good child! Quickly look through these portraits and see whether any of them is that person!"
Everyone in the room immediately understood who he meant.
Yet none of them dared say it aloud.
Jeon marquis/ Jeon jungsuk/ koo's father
[Jungsuk unrolled the first scroll.]
"This is the Right Prime Minister, Shi Chonghai."
Jeon marquis/ Jeon jungsuk/ koo's father
[He pointed toward the portrait of a thin elderly official.]
"He rose from humble beginnings and appears extremely loyal to His Majesty. But appearances can deceive. Could it possibly be him?"
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
[Jungkook merely glanced at the painting before shaking his head.]
"Not him."
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
"That person isn't this ugly."
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
"You couldn't even remember what he looked like in your dream."
Jeon jungwoo/ koo's brother
[He looked at Jungkook curiously.]
"Then how do you know he's handsome?"
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
"Omega's (women's ) intuition."
[He lazily raised his eyelids.]
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
"You Alphas would never understand."
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
"Next."
Jeon marquis/ Jeon jungsuk/ koo's father
[Jungsuk continued opening one portrait after another.]
"Left Prime Minister Yan Hui?"
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
"No."
Jeon marquis/ Jeon jungsuk/ koo's father
"Imperial Minister Zhou Bingan?"
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
"Not him either."
Jeon marquis/ Jeon jungsuk/ koo's father
"Supervisor of the Ministry of War?"
Portrait after portrait covered the floor.
Jeon Jungkook/ omega
[From beginning to end, Jungkook only made one movement—
that was continuously shaking his head.]
