Arranged marriage

✨End✨

The sun began to rise, casting a warm golden hue over the city, washing away the shadows of the night. Y/N stood on the balcony of her apartment, the gentle breeze tousling her hair as she gazed out at the world awakening below. It had been a few weeks since that fateful night in the park, a night that had marked a turning point for her and her friends. Soojin was back in their lives, slowly healing, and each day brought them closer together.

"Good morning!" Jungkook's voice broke through her reverie as he stepped out onto the balcony, holding two steaming mugs of coffee. He handed one to Y/N, a soft smile spreading across his face. "I made your favorite."

"Thanks," she replied, taking a sip and savoring the familiar taste. The warmth of the coffee mirrored the warmth in her heart. They had been through so much, but now, as she looked at Jungkook, her husband, she felt a sense of peace.

It had taken time for Soojin to open up about her struggles, and with the unwavering support of Y/N, Jungkook, and Taehyung, she had begun to piece her life back together. They had spent countless evenings together, laughing, reminiscing, and discussing their dreams for the future. Y/N knew they were all scarred, but they had learned that vulnerability was a strength.

As the days turned into weeks, the bond between the group grew stronger. They became a tight-knit family, sharing meals, stories, and late-night adventures that would become cherished memories. Jungkook was there every step of the way, supporting Y/N as she navigated the complexities of their arranged marriage. She had once viewed it as a burden, but now, it felt like a gift—one that had allowed her to truly understand the depth of love and friendship.

One evening, they all gathered at Taehyung's place for a movie night, popcorn and snacks strewn across the coffee table. Soojin had picked the film, a romantic comedy that filled the room with laughter. Y/N watched as Taehyung and Soojin exchanged playful banter, their chemistry undeniable. It was a stark contrast to the dark days when Soojin had pushed everyone away.

As the movie reached a particularly cheesy scene, Y/N couldn't help but chuckle. Jungkook leaned over, his arm draping over her shoulder, pulling her close. "I never thought I'd say this, but I might be a little jealous of Taehyung right now."

"Why's that?" Y/N asked, her eyebrow raised in curiosity.

"Because he gets to see Soojin smile like that," Jungkook replied, his eyes sparkling with warmth. "She deserves to be happy."

Y/N nodded, her heart swelling with affection for her friends. "They really do have something special."

Jungkook's expression shifted, a hint of seriousness clouding his features. "You know, Y/N, I've been thinking a lot about us lately."

Y/N felt her heart race, uncertainty mingling with excitement. "What do you mean?"

He took a deep breath, his gaze unwavering as he met her eyes. "I know we started our marriage as an arrangement, but I've come to realize that my feelings for you run deeper than I ever expected."

The atmosphere shifted, and Y/N felt the weight of his words settle between them. "Jungkook..."

"I'm not just your husband by contract; I want to be your partner, your friend, and someone you can rely on," he continued, his voice steady. "I want us to build a life together that goes beyond what we agreed to."

Y/N's heart soared, and she couldn't help but smile. "I want that too. I've come to care for you in ways I never imagined possible."

Jungkook's expression softened, and he took her hands in his, their fingers intertwining. "I want to confess something," he said, his eyes glistening with sincerity. "I love you, Y/N. I've fallen for you, and I want to be the one you turn to, no matter what happens."
