[202] JIKOOK ONE SHOTS/ PROMPTS [ONGOING]

[123] ARRANGED LOVE - MARCH 31 2025

Jimin loved his life. He was an independent, stylish, and very eligible bachelor who had no plans of settling down anytime soon. So when his parents sat him down with suspiciously smug smiles and announced, "You're getting married", he almost choked on his iced Americano.

"What?!"

His mother sighed, sipping her tea like she hadn't just dropped a bomb on his life.

"It's already decided. The Jeon family's son is perfect for you."

Jimin's brain short-circuited. The Jeon family? As in Jeon Jungkook? The rich, ridiculously handsome heir who was rumored to be colder than an iceberg?

Nope. Absolutely not. Jimin had standards.

"I refuse" Jimin declared.

His father raised an eyebrow. "The wedding is next month."

Jimin spluttered. "What do you mean next month?!"

His mother waved a hand. "Oh, don't be dramatic. Just meet Jungkook first. Who knows? You might like him."

Jimin highly doubted it.

**

Jimin expected to meet a stiff, emotionless businessman in a suit.

What he didn't expect was Jeon Jungkook, the unfairly tall and muscular man, to take one look at him and absolutely melt.

Jungkook was supposed to be cold and distant. The kind of guy who'd nod politely and say something vague like, "Marriage is a business arrangement."

Instead, as soon as he laid eyes on Jimin, he stumbled over his own feet, turned visibly pink, and immediately blurted out

"You're really pretty."

Jimin blinked. "What?"

Jungkook blinked back. "Huh?"

They stared at each other.

Jungkook, looking suspiciously soft for a supposed ice prince, rubbed the back of his neck.

"I mean...you just...you look nice."

Jimin smirked, crossing his arms. "Nice? That's all?"

Jungkook panicked. "No! I mean, stunning. Beautiful. Ethereal. Like an angel descended from the heavens to bless my unworthy soul.."

Jimin blinked again.

Was... was Jeon Jungkook flirting with him?

No, worse. Was Jeon Jungkook in love with him already?

Jimin wasn't sure if he should be flattered or concerned.

**

Jimin had prepared for a quiet, indifferent husband-to-be.

Instead, he got - Jungkook following him around like a lovesick puppy, Jungkook staring at him all the time, Jungkook randomly sighing dreamily whenever Jimin so much as breathed.

"Are you okay?" Jimin asked one day, catching Jungkook gazing at him with soft, doe-like eyes.

Jungkook smiled. "Yeah."

"You're staring."

"I know."

Jimin squinted. "Why?"

Jungkook rested his chin in his hand, looking completely, hopelessly in love. "You're just... really cute when you're annoyed."

Jimin threw a pillow at him.
