After the photo session, the families gathered in the living room once more. This time, the atmosphere was more serious, with a sense of expectation hanging in the air. Taehyung's father, a respected businessman, cleared his throat to address the room.

"As you both know, our families have a long history of tradition and values. We expect you to uphold these values in your marriage and carry on the family legacy."

Jungkook's parents nodded in agreement, their eyes shining with hope and expectation. Taehyung's mother added, "We want you both to have a happy and prosperous life together, just like your ancestors. You will make a wonderful couple, and we couldn't be prouder."

Taehyung and Jungkook exchanged a glance, the weight of their families' expectations settling upon them. They knew that this arranged marriage was not just about them, but about the union of two families and their shared heritage.

Taehyung's father continued, "We've arranged for you to meet regularly, to get to know each other better. We expect you to respect and support each other, as a team."

Jungkook nodded, his voice barely above a whisper. "Yes, sir. We won't disappoint you."

Taehyung's gaze met Jungkook's, and for a moment, they shared a silent understanding. They would navigate this arranged marriage together, for the sake of their families and their own uncertain futures.
