"So many questionable choices
We love the sound that our voice makes
Man, this echo chamber's getting loud"

"Are you crazy?!" Jungkook yelled from behind you, almost staggering at your words to the plant hero.

Jin was gobsmacked, he didn't expect this outcome at all and he had to pinch his hand to see if he was dreaming.

He was not.

You kept your unwavering gaze on the surprised male before offering your hand to the other.

"Do you object?"

"Y/N! What are you saying?!" The copy hero had zoomed over to your side to grab your hand away from the Eros hero, glaring at him as he did so.

"It's only papers that I need to sign for him to keep his dreams. I don't want his parents to take away his happiness since everyone deserves to be happy" you spoke from the heart, reminding yourself at the memory of him training so hard at night while he was back in Eros. All of his hard work would have gone to waste if you didn't step in and help him.

"You'll be married! To him!" Jungkook was beyond furious. His chances of being with you were crumbling right in front of him.

"...we have ourselves a deal" Jin finally spoke as he shook your hand firmly. You gave him a small smile and you felt slightly better about the situation but a little uneasy as well.

You just hoped that you weren't going to regret the decision you made today.

"I can't believe you're going through with this-"

"Its okay, Jungkook. It's my decision to accept it or not. I'm a grown adult and I can take responsibility for my actions" you interjected before facing him. The younger scanned your eyes to see if you were lying or if you were even a little uncertain about all of this.

But instead, all he found was pure determination.

He had remembered how he forced himself on to you and knew that Jin would get the same treatment from you if he did the same.

"...you better not regret this" Jungkook said lowly before glaring at the other male.

"I won't..." I hope.

--------------------an hour later------------------

"So, that's the plan?"

"Yep"

"We just have to pretend that you guys really love each other in front of Jin's parents until he's officially in the Protectors and then the marriage papers can be erased?" Myunghee summed up from beside you on the couch.

"That's pretty much it, yeah" Jin added from the other side of you.

The others were shocked to see you had came back with the plant hero and had found out that you had accepted his proposal.

"I think it's stupid" Jungkook spat out from the other couch as he crossed his arms in frustration.

"That's because you're stupid" Jin retaliated before watching the other stick his tongue out at him and he too did the same.

"...are you sure that everything will return back to normal after we become the Protectors officially?" Namjoon spoke out from his seat beside the brunette, eyeing the overly confident hero who was beside you.

"Positive" you reassured him.

"Then this plan is a good idea" Hoseok declared, seeing nothing bad about the explained plan.

"That's if nothing happens to screw things up" Yoongi stated realistically.

"Are you sure you're okay about this, Y/N?" Jimin asked out of concern, truly worried if you had been forced to do this or not.

"I'm fine, I promise" his pout made you awe inside and you sent a smile his way to reassure him.

"So...what does that mean now?" Taehyung asked while looking round at everyone.

"What it means is that you guys should be heading back to training. Come on, up you guys get" Jaeho exclaimed from the doorway, waving everyone to stand up and leave.

"Ugh"

"But I want to hear more gossip~"

"Can't we have a break?" The three youngest heroes whined before feeling the strong death glare coming from Myunghee, making them stand up and run out in the speed of light.

"And the rest of you guys" Jaeho warned, making everyone else stand up and follow the others out.

Namjoon on his way out glanced over at you for the final time before sighing and leaving the room.

Yoongi looked over at you with a blank expression as he felt a little sympathetic for your situation before following his partner out.

Hoseok mouthed a 'we'll talk more later', allowing chuckle to escape your lips as you knew it was to gossip.

Jin sent a small smile your way and you gladly sent one back, showing that you were okay about all of this.

You were about to follow them out when your felt a hand grab on to your arm, stopping you from leaving.

"We need to talk"

"...I know..."
