Priest: Jeon Jungkook, do you take Lalisa Manoban to be your lawfully wedded wife?

Jungkook: I do

Priest: Lalisa Manoban, do you take Jeon Jungkook to be your lawfully wedded husband?

Author Pov.
For a moment, Lisa remained silent. Countless thoughts ran through her mind as everyone in the hall waited for her answer

Lisa Pov.
I looked at Jungkook standing across from me. Everything had happened so fast, yet deep down, I already knew my answer

Priest: Lalisa Manoban, do you take Jeon Jungkook to be your lawfully wedded husband?

Lisa: I do...

Priest: Then, by the authority vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride

Author Pov.
A small smirk appeared on Jungkook's face. He gently pulled Lisa closer by her waist and leaned in, pressing a kiss to her lips as cheers erupted throughout the venue. As he pulled away, he lowered his voice so only she could hear

Jungkook: From today onward, you're my wife, Lalisa Manoban. Don't forget that

Author Pov.
The guests applauded as the newlyweds stood together at the altar

MC: Ladies and gentlemen, let's give the happy couple another round of applause! And now, it's time for the cake-cutting ceremony

Skip: At the Mansion

Lisa Pov.
I walked upstairs in silence, my footsteps echoing softly through the hallway of the mansion. Everyone downstairs was celebrating the marriage, but I couldn't bring myself to feel the same happiness they did. This wedding wasn't what I wanted.
Every smile I forced felt heavy, every congratulation sounded distant. The mansion looked beautiful, almost like something out of a dream, but to me it felt cold and unfamiliar. I entered the bedroom without saying a word and headed straight for the bathroom. The sound of the door closing behind me was the only thing that made me feel a little less overwhelmed. I stared at my reflection in the mirror for a long moment. The wedding dress, the jewelry, the makeup everything made me look like a bride but inside, I didn't feel like one. I felt trapped. I turned on the faucet and splashed cold water on my face, trying to steady my breathing. No matter how much I tried to stay strong, the reality of the situation kept sinking in I was now married to Jungkook, and my life had changed completely in a way I never chose for myself

Jungkook Pov.
As I walked downstairs, I noticed Lisa talking to one of my most trusted servants

Servant: Jungkook sir is actually very kind to the people he cares about

Lisa: Really?

Servant: Yes. When he loves someone, he protects them and makes sure they're taken care of

Author Pov.
Before the conversation could continue, I called out to her

Jungkook: Noona

Author Pov.
The servant immediately turned toward me.

Servant: Yes, sir

Jungkook: You may go now

Servant: Of course

Author Pov.
She bowed slightly before leaving them alone. Jungkook shifted his attention to Lisa

Jungkook: Why were you asking my servant about me?

Lisa: I was just curious....

Author Pov.
Lisa attempted to walk away, but Jungkook reached out and gently caught her wrist.

Jungkook: Curious?

Lisa: I just wanted to know more about you

Author Pov.
Jungkook studied her expression carefully

Jungkook: That's all?

Lisa: Yes...

Author Pov.
Jungkook's gaze narrowed

Jungkook: You really think I'm that easy to fool, Lisa?

Lisa: What do you mean?

Jungkook: Ever since noona told you about my revenge, you've been acting differently

Lisa: How did you know about that?

Jungkook: Because I heard the conversation myself. You think you can change me. You think you can make me happy.

Lisa: Maybe because revenge isn't everything

Author Pov.
Jungkook's expression darkened instantly

Jungkook: To you, maybe

Lisa: Jungkook—

Jungkook: No. You don't understand.
Revenge is the only thing that's kept me moving forward all these years.

Author Pov.
Lisa stared at him, unable to find the right words. Without waiting for a response, Jungkook turned and walked away

Lisa Pov.
My heart was still racing after that conversation. The more I learned about Jungkook, the more confused I became. Part of me wanted to understand him. Another part wanted to escape from this place entirely. Lost in thought, I returned to my bedroom.
The moment I stepped inside, I froze.
Jungkook was already there

Lisa: What are you doing here?

Author Pov.
Her voice was barely above a whisper. Jungkook slowly stepped forward. Instinctively, Lisa took a step back. Then another and another. Until her back touched the wall. She immediately looked away, avoiding his gaze

Jungkook: Look at me, Lisa

Author Pov.
Lisa remained silent. Jungkook moved closer

Jungkook: Look at me...

Author Pov.
Still refusing to meet his eyes, she stared at the floor. His jaw tightened

Jungkook: Look at me, Lalisa Manobal

Author Pov.
Slowly, Lisa lifted her head. For several seconds, neither of them spoke

Jungkook: Don't think about running away. You may hate this place. You may hate me but as long as you're here, I want you to understand one thing

Author Pov.
His voice was calm, but the warning behind it was unmistakable

Jungkook: Stop trying to fight everything on your own. Do you understand me, Lisa?

Author Pov.
After a long pause, she nodded

Lisa: Yes...

Author Pov.
Jungkook held her gaze for a moment before turning around and leaving the room, leaving Lisa alone with her thoughts
