The room erupted in applause and celebration as YN's decision to marry me was met with joy and approval from our families. Despite the apparent happiness, there was a silent exchange between YN and me that spoke volumes. Her eyes held a hidden message, a desire to speak her heart, but something seemed to hold her back.

As Jiso hugged YN, their embrace radiated warmth and camaraderie, a stark contrast to the tension I felt. I was prepared to make my exit, ready to retreat to the solitude of my own space, when YN's voice reached me, calling my name. I turned to face her, my gaze still frigid, devoid of emotion except for a simmering anger that brewed beneath the surface.

The room fell into an anticipatory hush as everyone's attention turned to us. YN posed a direct question, one that carried the weight of her expectations and the force of her determination. "Do YOU want to marry me?"

My initial instinct was to deny it outright, to refuse the union that had been thrust upon us. I wanted to say, "No, I don't want to." But as I glanced at my father, Mr. Jeon, my mother, Mrs. Jeon, and Jiso, their expectant eyes fixed upon me, I let out a resigned sigh.

I met YN's gaze again, my response coming out cold and curt, "Yes."

The room seemed to exhale with relief, and everyone embraced one another in happiness. But YN, she saw through the facade, recognizing the truth in my eyes. Without another word, I turned and ascended the stairs, my emotions locked away in a fortress of my own making.


AN:

ME JEON JUNGKOOK, YOU ARE LUCKY THAT YOU GOT YN.

THE FUCKING ANGEL YN.

PFFFF.
