JUNGWON ; arranged

ROYAL AU! ENEMIES TO LOVERS

jungwon being the only royal son, his life is basically about to be full of dating. you become the first person to get arranged with him, but will you be able to have sincere feelings for each other?

☺︎︎

jungwon sat on his desk, peacefully doing his homework while listening to music. he does well academically, growing up with several tutors for each subject. but it's not like his head is burried in books all day.

a knock on the door was heard as jungwon took off his earphones. "your mother wants to speak to you, sir." with a sigh, jungwon puts his pen down and gets up.

— "what is it?" he says as he makes his away to the leather couch. "from now on, your father and i will be arranging your dates for you."

"sure...WHAT?" jungwon's eyes widen in shock. "i'm sure you're aware of our situation. the least you can do is co-operate." his mother's voice turned stern.

"first candidate, that girl from your school. what was her name again.." the woman presses a finger on her temple, pondering.

"the one that gets decent grades, only a few places below you! that one."

"oh, you mean y/n? please, anyone but her." jungwon was full of hatred for that girl, although it was unknown since he often holds grudges.

the way her personality just clashes with his— bumping into him in the hallways on purpose, just to stick a tongue out at him! how does she even have decent grades?

"why not, dear? your father and i have placed our bets on her." his mother replies as she sips her smoothie.

you trudge behind jungwon, who was leading you to his room. you could feel it as well, that this was something he never agreed on.

finally making it to his room, you slam the door shut before taking a deep breath, "SERIOUSLY?!"

jungwon sits himself on the bed in front of you with a bored expression. "yeah, seriously."

"what i find absurd is the fact that we have to share the same bedroom! i get it, we're most likely getting married but you literally live in a mansion!" you complain, raising your voice at him.

jungwon remained with his bored expression, already tired with just your presence. "silence, for a second."

rolling your eyes with a sigh, you fall onto his couch across the room. "my mother only agreed since she wanted you to tutor me."

"seriously? go get yourself a professional tutor instead." jungwon scoffs at you, sitting up.

☺︎︎

it's been a week ever since you have moved into jungwon's home. he's also been helping you with school work regularly, which was always full of bickering and awkward silence.

but despite those moments, you would be lying if you said being in his presence was the worst thing ever; your days gradually improved with more laughs, jokes and casual talks about your lives.

you and jungwon's exams were nearing from now, which has made both of you stick your heads into books like superglue. it was exhausting, of course.

in the corner of your eye, you spot jungwon stretch his arms, then continues to lay his head on the desk. you chuckle, this being the first time you've seen him look so exhausted.

your smile drops as you think of something, is he feeling unwell?

☺︎︎

jungwon wakes up, feeling his silk sheets and soft pillows. his nose felt hot, whilst his forehead felt wet. he places his hand on his forehead, feeling a damp cloth.

he sits up and holds the towel on his hand, his movement causing you to wake up beside him. "oh, i didn't know you were sleeping there." his voice sounded tired and weak.

"why are you up already? your temperature's pretty high." you say, holding his arm. "you... gave me this towel?" nodding in reply you pull the sheets over jungwon, making him lay back down.

he stares at you for a bit, who was sitting next to him on the bed, "will my feelings finally be sincere?"

"nothing's stopping you from catching feelings for me." you speak subconciously, jungwon's eyes widening as he realised he thought out loud.

"we were arranged but we weren't arranged to not fall for each other, am i right?" his face flushes from your words, covering his face with the sheets,

"whatever.."
