"I will not marry him!"
____________

Jungkook was beyond shocked by the elders' words. Yes, he himself wasn't ready for this marriage and even wanted to stop it, but he couldn't, as he didn't want to upset his parents. All he could do now was hope that everything would go well. Jungkook slowly averted his gaze to Jin, who was sitting beside him with his head hung low. Jungkook was neither good with words nor with consoling someone.

"Jin, how about you talk with Kookie for a while? Make yourself comfortable!" Sumi said, smiling before walking back to the kitchen. She knew both of them needed to have some conversation. Mr. Jeon took it as a sign and slowly followed his wife. She wasn't angry or surprised by Taehyung's words. Jin had already mentioned his son's behavior.

Sumi just wanted her sons to be happy. She even considered Taehyung as her own son. When she first learned about Taehyung, Sumi was pessimistic about how he didn't seem to care for himself. But she would make sure that Taehyung would take care of himself in the future.

"Taehyung... were you even aware of the words you said earlier? I know, son, it’s hard for you to bring someone new into your life. But you have to. You can't live alone like this. You need someone by your side. Tae... your partner will never be a burden. I don’t know why you think that your partner will just be another responsibility.

But mark my words, I’m damn sure your future will be perfect with your love beside you. He is perfect for you, Taehyung-"

"I’ve been living alone for the past 23 years, and I’m doing great on my own. I don’t need someone to take care of me or worry about me. Let me live how I want! I don’t want him to get worried living with someone like me! It’s better for him.

I can’t be the good husband he might’ve dreamed of! I don’t want to spoil his life with my own hands. And you can’t just decide who’s good for me!! I DON’T WANT TO MARRY ANYONE!" Taehyung said, emphasizing the last words.

He wasn't ready to bring someone into his already messed-up life. He didn’t talk much, but that didn’t mean his parents could take advantage of it. At least, that’s how he felt. Namjoon had never forced Taehyung to do anything against his will. He knew that very well. But these sudden emotions spoke otherwise.

This was the first time ever that Taehyung had raised his voice against his father. He regretted half the words he said moments ago. This was the reason he often kept quiet. because he didn’t want to hurt anyone's feelings with his words. Taehyung only spoke when he was angry.

As for Taehyung, he didn’t want to ruin Jungkook’s life. He knew that no one deserved the worst. Jungkook would surely suffer from being married to him, someone who would never appreciate or care for his efforts. Taehyung was only trying to protect the younger from pain.

"Whatever you say, Taehyung... But just look at your mom! Has he ever asked for anything from you? Neither have I. We’re worried, Taehyung. I want to see you happy in your life. Okay, I’m not going to brag about your marriage life.

If you really want to make us happy, then you have to agree to this marriage. And if you don’t like Jungkook... We’re not forcing you to marry him. You can marry whoever you want. If not him, then someone else that you love.

We just want you to get married and live a happy life. Moreover, Mr. Jeon and our company need a collaboration. But if the media gets wind of this, they’ll create their own stories, so it’s better if we’re officially relatives. That’s why we thought of having you marry him. But it’s not obligatory. And ALSO, THAT DOESN’T MEAN YOU CAN LIVE ALONE FOREVER!"
