The End of Us! [JK x Reader]

Chapter Two

—Y/N POV

"Y/N? Y/N?"

As I was sitting on the couch with Hee-Won, making some meaningless lists that Eun-Jun had told us to prepare, my train of thought was interrupted when I heard Eun-Ha's voice calling my name as soon as she entered the house with her husband, Eun-Jun walked behind them, as he had gone to pick them up from the airport

Seeing her after so long brought a genuine smile to my face. I stood up quickly and moved to hug her, but she stopped me, holding her palm up right in front of my face

"How can you just agree to this marriage? Do you even understand what marriage means?" she asked directly, skipping any formal greetings, her voice sharp as she stared at me

"Unnie... I—" I stammered, trying to respond but thankfully Eun-Jun interrupted "Aish, noona, you just got here! Instead of going inside, you're interrogating her at the entrance?" His tone full of disbelief but Eun-Ha gave us both a pointed look before finally stepping inside the house

"You two!" she started, turning to me and Eun-Jun, she pointed her index finger at each of us "I want to know everything. I know Y/N wouldn't agree to this marriage without a reason, and I suspect the reason is Jun" she continued, her tone sharp as knife

"Noona, stop overthinking" Eun-Jun retorted, visibly annoyed "You just arrived. Go meet Appa first, take some rest, and then we can talk about this later" "No, not later! I want answers now!" she demanded, crossing her arms

"Honey, why are you acting like this? Y/N is an adult now. She can make her own decisions" her husband, Beom-Seok tried to calm her down, but guess what, it was a wrong move of him "You wouldn't understand!" she snapped bitterly at her husband, silencing him with her side eyes as she continued "You're just like Jun when it comes to her!"

And again she turned her attention back to me, her expression softening as she took my hands in hers

"Y/N, tell me honestly" she said, her voice gentler this time "Marriage isn't a game. It ties you to him and his family, even if it's just for business. I don't want you to do this against your will. Tell me the truth! Is Jun pressuring you? Tell me, I'll handle everything. You trust unnie, don't you?"

Her words made my chest tighten with emotion. For a moment, I wanted to cry and tell her everything. But fear held me back. What if Eun-Jun really did something to Appa? No one would ever suspect him because of how much he 'loves' him

"No, unnie, oppa isn't pressuring me" I lied with a small smile, pulling my hands away out of guilt

"See?" Eun-Jun chimed in "Even she's saying I didn't do anything. Why do you always think I'm the bad guy?" He gave a disappointing look and added "After that dinner, she went to meet Jungkook without telling anyone, and when she came back, she said she was okay with the marriage!"

As she listened him, she again looked at me with skepticism and I quickly nodded, forcing a smile

"But why would you agree?" she asked, her tone laced with suspicion "Umm... you know... love at first sight" I said, pretending to be shy in-front of her, but trust me, from inside, I cringed at the absurdity of my own words

"Love at first sight? Are you serious?" she scoffed, giving me a look that screamed disbelief "R-really!" I stuttered little, avoiding her piercing gaze

"I'm really fine with this marriage..." I said again after a little silence, lightly pushing her toward the stairs to avoid continuing this conversation "Now please go and take some rest, unnie" I tried to smile

She sighed heavily, but finally headed upstairs after giving me one more disbelief look

"Hyung, you should go too" Eun-Jun spoke to Beom-Seok, he nodded and followed his wife upstairs, giving me a slight eye roll others may not notice
