THE DECISION

Author's POV

"Will you do a contract marriage? Yes, then your debt is clear. No, then rot in debt." Laughed your illegitimate father.

Thinking for a while, you thought about the changes which could happen. Slowly nodding to him, he stood up smirking in victory. But little did you know, that this marriage was nothing but a money contract and this was equivalent to selling you off.

"Go, treat yourself. And tomorrow be ready." said Ji-young.

"Y-Yes s-sir." you said, standing up weakly to leave to your room, still stumbling.

That night for you was sleepless. You couldn't comprehend the fact that you were going to give away your life to someone unknown. You were scared to your core, regarding the decision you made. Was it fine? Is the person affectionate enough to understand you? Will your life be any better with your decision? Will you regret your own decision? were the only questions running through your mind. You weren't able to understand your feeling that very minute. You felt tensed, excited, scared, happy, and even pained. You were experiencing a gush of anxiety and stress. But you could do nothing more than to wait for the morning.

(Next morning)

You fluttered open your eyes feeling the low sunlight coming through your window blinds. You slept without realizing since you were tired. You freshened up and moved downstairs to meet your illegitimate family and to cook breakfast for yourself. Ji-young noticed your presence and called you.

"Come here sweetheart." he said in an ingenuine tone patting the seat beside him indicating that he wants you to sit beside him.

"Your wedding dress is in Chae-Yeon's closet. Go, collect it." he informed you.

"Y-Yes s-sir." you said yet stuttering.

He scoffed and said, "Firstly don't stutter. It will let down your built-up reputation. Second, don't call me sir. I am your Dad."

"Yes D-Dad." you said out in one breath knowing that this is only an act.

You slowly walked towards Chae-Yeon's room. As you entered the room you saw her doing her makeup. She noticed you and rolled her eyes through the mirror as she stood up to walk to her closet as you followed her to see the white gown. You were adorably staring at it with a slight smile on your face as you had only seen such a gown in pictures.

"Well I know it suits me better, but you have to wear it today." interrupted Chae-Yeon as she said with a straight face.

You waited for the time to pass. And it finally did. Chae-Yeon helped you dress up and get ready.

While you were admiring your new self, Chae-Yeon said in a warning tone "This is not a love marriage. You are being set up with a well-known man. Stay within your limit and maintain a distance. Remember how low you are." You felt threatened but you were used to it now.

You entered the beautifully decorated banquet. Walking down the aisle you finally saw the person you were going to marry. A man with a mask that covered the left side of his face, sitting on a wheelchair, who was none other than Jeon Jungkook, the soon to be C.E.O. of the Jeon enterprises, one of the largest companies in South Korea. Accompanying him was Kim Taehyung, his brotherly friend and personal assistant. Why is Jungkook like this? He was engaged in a road accident causing him to get paralyzed. But the mask is still a mystery.

Your face wore a smile but he noticed the discontent on your face. He felt his heart pound but he knew that his disability would become an obstacle. You finally heard his deep and husky voice saying, "You are not forced to do the marriage. You may just change your decision."

But you were determined for a change. You wanted to leave behind the misery you had while in the Lee family. You did not know the consequences on the other side, but you had an instinct that it will be better than what it is now.

While you saw Taehyung rolling Jungkook's wheelchair to go away, you finally spoke up, "It's my own decision to accept it. I haven't been forced to accept." You walked towards him and said the words he never expected.

"I....Lee Y/N, promise to be with Mr. Jeon Jungkook in happiness and grief, up and downs, and health and misery until death."

And you slowly leaned in to kiss his cheek with love and passion.

But what turns will this marriage take? Will Jungkook get to know about the real Y/N?
