One evening, their families decided to have dinner together, hoping to strengthen the bond between them. The night was filled with laughter and nostalgia, but then Taehyung’s mother casually mentioned their childhood marriage.
“You two must be so happy together now that you know about your marriage,” she said with a smile.
Both Hazel and Taehyung froze, confusion and disbelief washing over them. “What marriage?” Hazel asked, her heart racing.
Their parents explained the secret arranged marriage, revealing that they had been tied together since birth. The shock of this revelation left them both reeling. They had been married all along, bound by traditions they had never understood. What they thought was rekindled friendship now felt more complicated and suffocating.
