Jungkook sat behind his desk, the file on the table making him pause.
Did he really want to do this? Could he marry someone he didn't really know?
All because his father ,who hadn't stepped foot in the business for two years wouldn't let him take over the business officially unless he was married.
So he'd found local families that fit his needs and decided on the Parks.
Their daughter was he supposed pretty but didn't make him feel anything she was a bit of a mouse, but he supposed he could make it work someone quiet like her would turn a blind eye to any extra marital affair he might have.
He'd fooled the parents into thinking he was legitimate , he hadn't met the brother he had been doing business studies abroad but would be there for the wedding tomorrow.
The door opened and Jin walked in.
"So done the last minute touches for tomorrow ...Kook why are you doing this you don't love her , you barely interact with each other?" His friend and personal assistant said.
"Look I wouldn't touch her with a barge pole normally but dad is obstinate he doesn't want anything to do with the business but won't hand it over til the day I marry, says I'm too egotistic !"
Jin snorted ," well you are a little self centred what's yours is yours and what is someone else's you fight til you get it, you hate not being in charge!"
"I like to think I'm a go getter that I make things happen." Jungkook smirked
"So should we expect the pitter patter of tiny feet in a few months .
"Eugh god......,Once dads handed it over I'll get a divorce!"
Jin shook his head but knew his friend was determined, he felt sorry for the Park family in a way, although their good name was well known in the area, they seemed genuine people.
A few miles away a girl was pacing in her room. A knock came and her brother finally walked in.
"Jimin thank god why did you get here late!"
"Hey Rosie..., why the long face I'm here now although you don't look that happy for a girl who's getting married tomorrow?"
Jimin looked at his sister she looked drawn and unhappy.
"I can't do it Jimin I just can't!"
"Hey is this nerves or something else?"
"Jimin hes...., too domineering he scares me, we've hardly spoken,"
"Well tell mum and dad to call it off!"
"Jimin....., they want this....., they hope his money will build the business,it's faltering, they've kept it hidden but not for much longer, I've been getting daily conversations on how nice I have to be to him."
Jimin scowled, everyone thought their parents were mild mannered friendly people but Jimin and his sister knew better. Jimin had lost times of the beatings he had taken standing up to his father. His sister always did what they wanted, scared if she didn't, Jimin had more fight in him which in the end had made his parents send him abroad so they wouldn't have to deal with him. Jimin was pleased except for the fact he would miss his sister. He knew his father thought he would do business studies to take over his small restaurant business but Jimin had no intention of joining it he wanted to do his own thing.
Looking at his mind worked on how to get his sister out of this.
"Rosie is there anything else I need to know?"
The young girl blushed," I-I met someone at uni, he's quiet has a lovely smile and we get on well."
"Oh so he's the real reason eh!"
Rosie blushed," he wants us to run away, he knows about the arranged marriage and is begging me not to do it!"
Rosie started crying and Jimin hugged her then pulling back he asked her a question,
"Out of your fiancé and your boyfriend who can you imagine not living without?"
"Well my boyfriend of course!"
"There's your answer then, for once you have to stand up for what you want....., now about tomorrow....., I have a plan......!"
Jungkook was in his bedroom getting ready, his father came in.
"Ah son you look handsome, I've brought these forms in , subject to you marrying today the business will transfer into your hands at midnight tonight"
"Thanks dad, you and mum going to go travelling finally?"
"I think so your mother keeps on nagging, oh here are the deeds to your new house, it's the one you always liked when you were younger."
"Really wow thanks,"
"Yes I've arranged the staff to pack all your stuff today and transfer it, by the time the weddings over you and your bride can go to your new home."
"Mmm,sure...." Jungkook couldn't quite stop the frown that came to his face in that news but hey after midnight he could tell her the marriage was off, or so he thought.
"Oh by the way as a codicil of getting the business you and your partner have to be married a year..."
"What? But you never said this before!"
"Not going to be a problem is it?"
"What er No of course not," damn Jungkook !!"thought.
At the Park residence Jimin started his plan.
"So, you two going ahead first?"
"No.... We will accompany Rosie in the car,"
"Oh....well I thought you wouldn't want the Jeons hogging all the guest greetings, s'pose your not worried  about looking like the minor business people,"
His parents looked at his face.
"Do you think so, maybe we should go a little ahead, Jimin you can accompany your sister in the car"
Jimin nodded
His parents hurried up, they stopped at their daughters room to see if she was in her dress yet but she was still dressed in a robe at her dressing table.
"Rosie hurry up!! We will go now but expect you to be there on time!"
They hurried off and Jimin rushed in," ready?"
Rosie stood up shrugging her robe off , underneath she had a normal day dress.
"Jimin what if they come back?"
"They won't , now come on good thing your suitcase is packed already."
"Chan is on his way, I can't believe I'm doing this!"
"Rosie, take this, I saved a lot of money abroad working part time, it will help,"
He handed his sister an envelope stuffed with money.
"Jimin....! Oh I'm so glad I have you......"
A horn outside made them grab her suitcases and go, the housekeeper looked on in astonishment as Rosie ran out to a car to kiss a man who wasn't her fiancé .
"Mrs Chiangmai you saw nothing ok?"
The housekeeper who had a soft spot for both children replied.
"I can't see anything from my room at the back," she winked and wandered off to her room.
Jimin gave his sister a hug and spoke to her boyfriend ,
"I'm trusting you because Rosie said your a good man make her happy and Rosie keep in touch!"
Rosie cried but got in her boyfriends car ," Jimin I hope they don't hurt you!!"
"Don't worry I'm not a little boy now! See you send me pics of your wedding!!"
The pair drove off just as the wedding car came, the driver got out looking for the bride but only saw Jimin in his fancy suit.
"Change of plan your just driving me!"
Arriving at the venue Jimin walked in, slightly nervous as not only was he going to ruin his parents day but the grooms also.
He slowly walked through the people gathered to the front of the pews seeing the groom talking to someone and both sets of parents talking. He got his parents attention.
"What is it Jimin? Is Rosie ready shall we tell them to start?"
"Er about that..., Rosie won't be coming she doesn't want to marry him."
"WHAT!!"
Jungkook turned seeing the Parks looking angry at a male in front of them, his eyes took in the back view seeing a curvy ass a slim figure.Damn Jungkook really? He told himself this is supposed to be your wedding day!
He then saw the glances he was getting from the Parks and knew something was up.
He wandered over smiling at people around until he got to them,
"Problem? Shall we go in the room over there"
The parks pushed their son forward and went into the side room Jungkook following and shutting the door.
"So?"
"My sister isn't marrying you,"
Jungkook stared at the male, so this was Jimin the brother.
"Of course she is, if this is a joke it's not funny,"
"Jimin..., go and get her right now,"
"Can't she's with her boyfriend soon to be husband, maybe you should have asked her what she wanted not what you want," Jimin said to his parents.
"God damn you what did you say to her!"
Jungkook was fuming, that girl had stood him up? He suddenly realised if he didn't marry today he wouldn't get the business.
"Mr and Mrs Park I thought we had a deal your daughter for some financial help, I thought the Parks name was good, well let me tell you after this it won't be!! I need to marry today!!"
"Jungkook, look we told her we didn't think she would be deceitful, please don't ruin our name nobody will help us!!"
"I need a partner , today, how can you fix that?"
Mr Park blustered reason leaving him,
"Him, marry him...!"
"What!!" Jimin shouted," are you mad!!"
Jungkook stared at Jimin then smirked," ok, if he comes to me in ten minutes when the service starts we will marry if he doesn't..., say goodbye to the good name you have."
He left the room angry inside at being dumped angrier still at maybe marrying a man although by nature he was Bi.
Jimin meanwhile turned to go.
"Where do you think your going?"
"What?well home of course."
"You have no home if you leave here."
"Stop being melodramatic dad, no wedding so what's the point in staying?"
"You heard him he'll marry you,"
Jimin scoffed..." er ..no!"
"You will marry him if you want your sister to be happy otherwise I will hunt her down and make her life miserable!!!"
Jimin stared at his father seeing he meant it.
"What is wrong with you people this is people's lives we are talking about!"
"We need the money, he needs a wife, both can happen or we get ruined and in turn you and your sister will pay for it, the choice is yours."
So that is how Jimin came to be standing next to a man he didn't know in front of confused guests and Jungkooks parents saying vows and finally,
"You May kiss your husband."
In a daze he saw the other reach out grabbing his neck and pulling his face to his delivering a punishing kiss to Jimins plump lips before whispering in his ear, this might be more fun than I thought."
