-Chapter Twenty- Some kind of obsessed stalker.
The next few weeks were stressful for Kenzie. She was dealing with the Jeon family's high expectations.
With the wedding just a month away, she was stuck in tiring rehearsal sessions, trying to meet the Jeon family's tough standards.
Each practice was filled with reminders about traditions and behaviors she needed to follow. Mrs. Jeon was always watching her, which made Kenzie even more anxious.
It felt like a heavy burden.
Whenever she finally got a break from rehearsals, Melody and Marcella would take her wedding shopping.
They had good intentions, but those trips were tough too. Paparazzi would surround her, throwing rude questions her way, leaving her feeling dizzy.
"Are you a gold digger?"
"Is this love or just an arranged marriage?"
Every question felt like a sharp knife, cutting deeper into her already frayed nerves. Kenzie fought to keep her cool, her heart racing as she tried to handle the media chaos while dealing with her feelings about the wedding coming up so fast.
As her face started appearing on magazine covers, Scott became more worried. He knew that all this attention could bring back old enemies, and he hated the risky situation it put Kenzie in.
But he kept quiet, caught between wanting to protect her and remembering the dark desire in Jungkook's eyes on engagement day—a desire to keep Kenzie safe, no matter what.
Scott didn't fully understand why he felt this way, but he found himself trusting Jungkook with his sister. It was a strange feeling, especially given everything that had happened to get them here.
However, it wasn't Jungkook that bothered Scott; it was Mr. Jeon. He felt that Jeon William was hiding something important.
The way the older man carried himself, the secrets that seemed to hang around him—it made Scott uneasy. So, he secretly started digging into everything he could find about Jeon William, determined to uncover the truths behind that polished facade.
Meanwhile, Kenzie felt like she was trapped in a pressure cooker.
The wedding plans, the relentless media attention, and the burden of her upcoming marriage were all crashing down on her, making her feel more unsure than ever.
Whenever she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror, she couldn't shake the thought of whether she was ready for the life that awaited her as Jeon Kenzie.
"Wait! Wait!" Kenzie screamed, sprinting toward the elevator.
Jungkook shook his head, pressing the button to stop the doors from closing just in time. As she stepped inside, Kenzie felt her heart leap at the sight of him.
