Arranged Marriage (Taekook)

3

Jungkook's P.O.V

I heard a knock on the door as my father's secretary came in and bowed.

"Sir, your father called for you." He said as I hummed.

"Tell him i'll be there in a few." I replied as I looked back down at my work.

He nodded and bowed again before leaving.

I sighed until the once again door creaked open to reveal Hoseok hyung who came in with a soft smile.

"Hey, I heard about what happened from Jimin. Is everything ok?" He asked.

I hummed, looking away as I crossed my arms. "Yeah, I don't want to waste my tears about it anyway." I said as I stood up.

He then tilted his head in confusion as he asked. "Where are you going?"

"Appa's calling me. We can talk later."

"Oh, i'll just wait here then."

"Are you sure?" I asked, turning to him.

He chuckled and hummed. "I can wait for my little brother to tell me, there's no rush."

"But your sched-"

"I already took a leave to make sure you're fine." He cut me off.

I sighed, nodding. "Alright, i'll be going now, don't die of boredom." I joked with a smile.

He laughed and shook his head as he pushed me out my office, winking at me as I sighed, heading to my father's office.

"You called, Appa?" I spoke as I entered his office after knocking.

He looked up from his work and smiled softly. "Jungkook, come here." He motioned as I came closer.

"I know you wouldn't be happy with what i'm going to say next, but know that i'm only doing this for you."

I raised an eyebrow as I tilted my head. "What?"

He sighed as he stared at me seriously. "I arranged a marriage for you with Mr. Kim's son."

My eyes widened in surprise. "Why?! Appa, you told me to open my heart for someone to cherish me! Why do this?!" I exclaimed, overwhelmed by the news.

He stood up as he approached me with an apologetic expression.

"I know I said that.. but, let me do this for you, I want you to be happy."

"But Appa-"

"Please Jungkook, this is for the best."

I grit my teeth as I balled my hands into fists.

'Why would you choose such things for me?'

"Best?! Why would you make me marry someone I don't love, let alone a person that I don't even know!?"

He put a hand on my shoulder as he looked down at me with a frown.

"Jungkook please.. I don't want you to end up like me or Mr. Kim." He pleaded with sad eyes.

The tension that was rushing through my body suddenly disappeared, I slumped my shoulders as I stared at him hesitantly.

He put a thumb under my chin as he smiled sadly. "I only want you to be happy.. I don't want to see my son hurting like this. We have each other, and I want to assure you a happy life.." he said, pulling me into a hug.

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding as I slowly hugged him back.

"How do you even know this would work.. Appa..?"

"Just trust me.. Taehyung, is a wonderful man.. you would love him."

I hummed, looking down as I hugged him tighter.

'I hope so..'
