taennie : A Night To Remember

Chapter 4: A Fake Marriage Contract

- Taehyung's POV

The morning sun had bathed the penthouse in a soft, golden glow as Taehyung and Jennie lingered over breakfast, their conversation flowing naturally. It was as if they were the only two people in the world, sharing their dreams and secrets with an ease that was rare to find.

With each passing moment, Taehyung couldn't help but marvel at how their lives had intersected. It was a serendipitous encounter that had brought them together, and he found himself yearning to keep her by his side.

As they cleared the breakfast table, Taehyung decided it was time to address the situation at hand. The fake news that had surfaced about him was a threat to his reputation, and he needed a solution. He had spent the morning contemplating the best way to protect his image, and he believed Jennie could be the key.

He led her into the spacious living room, where they settled on a plush couch. Taking a deep breath, he looked into her eyes and spoke, "Jennie, I have a proposition for you."

Jennie gazed back at him, her curiosity piqued. "What is it?"

"To protect my public image and reputation," Taehyung explained, "I need your help."

She furrowed her brow, not quite sure where this was going. "How can I help?"

Taehyung continued, "I want you to become my pretend wife. You'll join my company and take on the role of my spouse. We'll attend events together, make public appearances, and do everything a married couple would do. In return, I'll help you with your student loans and support your cafe business. It's a win-win situation. What do you say?"

Jennie's eyes widened with surprise. The proposition was unexpected, to say the least. She contemplated the offer carefully, weighing the potential benefits and the implications of such an arrangement.

The idea of working at a prestigious company and having her student loans paid off was tempting, but it also came with a hefty dose of uncertainty. "Taehyung," she began, "this is a lot to take in. Are you sure about this?"

Taehyung nodded, his gaze unwavering. "I'm certain. We'll only have to keep up the pretense until the fake news blows over. It's a business arrangement, but I also believe we could make it work. What do you say?"

Jennie took a moment to consider the proposal. She had only known Taehyung for a short time, but there was something about him that drew her in. His charismatic personality, the adventure they had shared, and the sincere connection they had formed all made her feel inclined to trust him.

After a brief pause, she smiled and extended her hand to him. "Alright, Taehyung, you've got yourself a deal."

Taehyung couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. It was an unorthodox solution, but it seemed like the best way to protect his image and help Jennie at the same time.

With a firm handshake, their agreement was sealed, and their lives took an unexpected turn. Little did they know that this decision would set the stage for a unique journey filled with challenges, adventure, and, perhaps, a deeper connection than either of them had anticipated.

As they sat together in the living room, surrounded by the elegance of Taehyung's penthouse, they couldn't help but wonder how this new chapter in their lives would unfold. The arrangement was a game-changer, and their story was about to take a remarkable twist.
