A Boring Tale >_<
Introduction
Taehyung is an unsociable omega who feels that everything and everyone is “uninteresting.” He goes on a blind date as a result of his parents’ pestering. He meets Jeongukk and marries him.
Why is Taehyung indifferent about who he marries? Why does he think he will get divorced sooner or later? Will Taehyung find this marriage “interesting” enough?
This is a long one-shot which I'll be cutting into pieces hehe
Since this is going to be written in a Taekook version you probably can't see the word play the og author had written with their names
but ill mention it anyway cuz it's interesting
Play on words: The story title is “méi yì si de gù shi” with méi yì si meaning boring; uninteresting. The MC’s name is Mei Yisi, and Yisi means “he thinks.” The name adds a layer of irony/playfulness to the story, given that Mei Yisi is nonchalant about marriage and keeps thinking “we’re going to divorce, anyway.”
没意思(mei yi si, boring) and 梅伊思(Mei Yisi, the MC) sound similar. The author has used word play throughout the story.
Anyone let me of you can decode tht
Also I was pretty confused at first when they talked brackets so don't be confused okay it's them talking
Jeon Jeongukk
[Because you’re my omega, the person I want to be with for life.]
Kim Taehyung
[That’s not certain.]
Kim Taehyung
[Have you ever loved someone before?]
Jeon Jeongukk
[Of course, I love you.]
Taehyung smiled.
His husband was really a bullshitting expert, very skillful in telling lies.
Taehyung responded with a wooden face.
Kim Taehyung
[Actually, you can ask for a divorce anytime, anywhere. I don’t mind.]
Be patient with our Taehyungie hehehe
hehe i know wht you don't know ( ¬⩊¬)
Chapter 1
Kim Taehyung is an omega. He got married yesterday.
He and the partner arranged by his family went to get a marriage certificate, then came back from the Civil Affairs Bureau.
His mom asked him about the plans for the wedding ceremony later.
Kim Taehyung
What’s the point? I can’t be bothered.
His mom asked where they would live after getting married.
Kim Taehyung
It doesn’t matter, it’s the same everywhere.
His mom asked how his new husband was and why they didn’t come home together.
Kim Taehyung
He’s just a human being, and couldn’t make it back because he was busy with something.
His mom got so angry that she scolded him. After making a call to her new son-in-law, she told him to go out and pick up his husband who was working overtime.
He went out looking listless, stood at the bus stop near the house, and waited.
After waiting for quite a while, several buses came, and Taehyung looked at the crowd getting off, feeling a bit confused.
What does his husband look like again?
Taehyung simply didn’t move, waiting for his new husband to come find him.
Just as expected, his husband, upon seeing him, walked over in his direction, even waving to him.
Taehyung glanced at his husband a few times.
Just like the people around him, he had two eyes and a nose—nothing special.
His husband came over and took his hand, saying—
Jeon Jeongukk
‘Thank you for taking the trouble of waiting so long.’
He um-ed.
His husband asked him what’s wrong.
What’s there to say? The more you talk about things, the less you actually say.
He didn’t speak, but his husband vividly described the day’s happenings at the workplace.
His husband seemed to be an office worker; anyway, he went to the office.
What’s there to say about things at work? It’s either this company’s affairs or that company’s affairs, but no matter what, it’s none of my goddamn business.
Taehyung found it uninteresting, so he continued to remain silent.
Jeon Jeongukk
[After dinner today, I’ll help you move. If you don’t say anything, it means you agree!]
What did I agree to?
Taehyung snapped back to reality, looked at his husband who was beaming with joy, thought for a moment, and then shut his mouth.
Forget it, whatever. I can’t be bothered to talk, boring.
Tbh even I'm confused with they way they've translated this
Pretty sure [dialogue] is conversation
I'm confused rn so I'll make the next one longer 🙇♀️
Chapter 2
He didn’t speak, but his husband vividly described the day’s happenings at the workplace.
His husband seemed to be an office worker; anyway, he went to the office.

Kim Taehyung

Taehyung speaking without [ ] is his mind voice
His mother enthusiastically greeted her son-in-law, bustling around and making arrangements. Taehyung grabbed a plate of melon seeds and started munching.
His mother scolded him for being a lazybum. Now that he’s married, how could he still behave this badly?
It’s not like he was the one dying to get married. At worst, they’ll just get a divorce. Anyway, it’ll become more and more annoying as time goes by. Sooner or later, they’ll get a divorce, so might as well end it sooner.
So as to avoid wasting feelings.
Contraraily, his husband was protective of him, saying that he need not do housework in the future as he could take care of it himself.
Kim Taehyung
Anyone can say nice words. What’s the point?
He didn’t care to be coaxed by anyone.
Jeon Jeongukk
[I’ll go help Mom.]
His husband was very proactive. Taehyung slowly blinked.
Kim Taehyung
Do as you like. It's none of my business.
He took the melon seeds and went to his room.
His father returned before dinner. His husband served tea, handed over water, and even fetched slippers for his father-in-law, more intimate than his biological son.
Mr. Kim
[TaeTae, why don't you come and help? Don't let Little Jeon do all the work alone.]
Jeon Jeongukk
[It's okay, Dad. I don't have much to do here. Just let Little Kim rest.]
Taehyung looked at them play benevolent father and filial son, then turned around to peel fruits.
He didn't want to get involved. It was all just insincere courtesy.
Taehyung’s marriage was too hasty; from getting to know his husband to obtaining the marriage certificate, it was all done in less than a month. His parents also realized this and began to inquire carefully about the situation of their son-in-law's family during dinner today.
Mr.s Kim
[Tae Tae is our only child. In the future, everything have will belong to him. The house you are currently living in, is the property deed in your family...]
His husband responded quickly.
Jeon Jeongukk
[It’s our marital home, I’ll take Taehyung to the notarization office next week to add his name.]
Taehyung’s parents nodded in relief
Taehyung lifted his head from his dinner bowl, raising an eyebrow as he looked at his happy, clueless parents.
Kim Taehyung
If it was his husband’s parents’ money, when they divorce, he could just throw an IOU at him. Not only will he lose his share of the house but also end up with debts.
What’s the use of just adding a name? Who paid for this house? Has the loan been paid off? Is the interior decoration done?
Kim Taehyung
You don’t understand a damn thing, so you’re foolishly laughing here.
Jeon Jeongukk
[What’s wrong, Xiao Kim?]
His husband noticed him looking up and asked with concern.
He didn’t feel like talking.
In the evening, they moved to their new home. Although it was called moving house, Taehyung didn’t actually bring much with him, just dragging a suitcase.
His husband said that the things he took along were few so he should buy whatever he needed later. He didn’t say anything. Anyway, dragging a suitcase like this was easy, and it’ll also be convenient to drag it back in the future.
His husband didn’t drive, and Taehyung didn’t care to inquire whether his husband had a car or not. Anyway, they just took a taxi and hit the road.
Their new home was in a new neighborhood, with well-developed transportation around, clearly a prime location.
His husband led him into the house and gave him the keys.
Jeon Jeongukk
[It’s been renovated before and everything has been tidied up. Take a look and let me know if there’s anything you’re not satisfied with. We can make changes.]
It was indeed decorated very thoughtfully.
Taehyung took a stroll around, noticing even sweet-scented bath gel specially made for omegas.
What a shame he wasn’t at all fond of these overly sweet and bubbly shower gels.
The new house was adorned with soft fabrics everywhere, the type that was most favored by omegas in the market.
But for Taehyung—
Kim Taehyung
It was all the same.
Jeon Jeongukk
[What do you think? We’ll change anything you don’t like.]
Taehyung blinked at the extremely ugly arrow-through-heart cross-stitch hanging on the living room wall.
Forget it, not worth overthinking.
Kim Taehyung
[No need to change anything.]
Just make do living here temporarily until the divorce; he had no intention of redecorating. After all, who would foot the bill for it?
He didn’t want to bother himself.
Why do you think Taehyung is like this?
Give him some time guys ;)
