" Tell me you don't love me, and I won't ever show you my face. Push me away so hard that I'd stumble to even look at you. " He leaned closer to my face. " Push me before I kiss you, before I cherish every inch of you. " His palm trace...

VESTA'S POV
"You're fixing my marriage to Jungkook? Without even asking me? Is this supposed to be some pranks? "
My dad's expression hardened. "I know what's best for you, Vesta. This isn't a discussion. And what's wrong with Jungkook? "
"Dad, I don't want to marry Jungkook. I love Taehyung-. "
" Taehyung, Taehyung, Taehyung. God, Vesta. Why don't you understand? He's not the man for you. He's literally 37. And you're telling me you love him ? It's just an infatuation, Vesta. You'll regret your whole life being with Taehyung."
" DAD, stop it. JUST STOP IT. How do you know he's not good for me ? He fought everyone just to be with me. His ex wife, his family, everyone. "
" Then why didn't your ' Boyfriend ' come to have a single word with me ?" He questioned back.
" Because he was waiting for your anger to calm down. He was ready to have a conversation, a proper mature conversation with no arguments and even wait for it until you're ready. But you-- no this won't happen. Im not marrying Jungkook. "
"Vesta, listen to me. I'm not trying to control you. I'm doing this because I care about your future. Jungkook is a good man. He'll keep you happy. He'll provide you with the stability and love that you need. Can't you see that?"
I shook my head, tears welling up in my eyes. "Dad, you're not listening to me. You're trying to push me into something I don't want. I love Taehyung. I want to marry him-"
"And you think Jungkook wouldn't?" he asked, his voice growing softer, trying to appeal to my emotions. "Jungkook has always cared about you, Vesta. He's a good man-kind, understanding, and he's always had your best interests at heart. He's the kind of man who can give you a good life, he has known you ever since you were kids."
"That's not what I want!" I cried out, feeling the frustration bubble up inside me.
"Vesta," he said quietly, his eyes softening, "I've done everything for you. From the moment you were born, I've made sure you had the best of everything-your education, your opportunities, your happiness. Everything you asked for, it was yours. Now can't you see that I'm just trying to keep you happy ? And you-this is how you repay me? By throwing everything away for a man who's unfit for you"
"I'm just trying to protect you," he continued, his voice low and gentle now, almost pleading. "I'm not your enemy, sweetheart. I'm your father. And I know what's best for you. You're too young to see it now, but one day you'll understand why I'm doing this."
"But Taehyung--"
"Is not right for you." my dad said firmly. "Jungkook, on the other hand, is the man who will take care of you, who will cherish you. You've known him since your childhood. Don't throw away that history for something fleeting."
