Forced marriage AU!
Slight mention of/hinted (non-jikook) mature content
Angst warning
I should really stop romanticizing abusive behaviour because I really abhor abuse. I'm sorry for anyone that goes through it.
Fidelity.
Chastity.
Obedience.
Things he didn't lack as a good son.
Though, it was rather a facade than anything else.
He was expected to have these qualities. Nothing more, nothing less. An emotionless doll that had to oblige when forced to submit.
It was another one of those times where Jimin silently sat at the dinner table while his parents conversed with a fellow noble. They were having an animated discussion about whatever. Jimin wasn't listening.
His focus was rather on the reclusive boy sitting across from him. His doe eyes, his narrow lips, and well-structured jaw distracted him from everything else. The boy was toying with his hands, obviously uninterested in the unreasonable discussion taking place next to him.
Jimin knew why these Nobles had visited. His mother had forewarned him.
They wanted him to marry the boy in front of him with no objection, as always. It was part of his life, his parents had said. They knew best, after all. Jimin didn't care anymore. It was to no avail if he protested and he was in no mood for a dispute.
Even though the boy in front of him was well-built and handsome, he had no desire to marry him as he was a complete stranger. They'd met an hour ago.
It didn't stop him from inspecting him, though. If he was to marry him, he might as well look at him.
Jimin hadn't noticed how the conversation between the parents had died down.
"-Min? Jimin!"
He flinched at the sudden hand on his shoulder.
"Yes, mother?", he said in a dulcet manner. Another thing that had been ingrained in his mind since he was little.
"I thought we lost you there.", she cleared her throat. "The Jeons and we have decided that you marry their son Jungkook for beneficial purposes. You will become a Jeon and fulfill your responsibilities as a dutiful husband.", she raised her eyebrows expectantly. It was emotional manipulation, Jimin was aware. But what else was he supposed to be other than the perfect, obedient son?
"Yes, mother." he was taught not to speak out his thoughts unless asked to. The reason why his answer was brief.
It seemed like Jungkook wasn't taught the same as the said boy jumped up from his seat. "Do I not get a say in this, father? I want to choose my lover!" he yelled. The emotion on Lord Jeon's face was unreadable as if used to this behaviour. "You can't disagree with this, son. You marry him or I'll no longer call you my son. You'd be putting shame upon us"
Jungkook quieted down as he stared at his father in stunned silence.
"Yes, Father.", he bowed his head down and sat back down with a thud. Jimin frowned at him for displaying such disrespect towards his parents.
"So it is settled. The marriage will take place as soon as possible. Our previous offer still stands. They'll get married on our property as a last farewell before he inhabits your premises.", Jimin's father said.
"We will definitely take up on that offer.", Jungkook's father returned with the same formal smile.
