The Pride of Clan

2

Jungkook gazed into his bride's eyes for what seemed like eternity. There was just something about them. They were so pure yet at the same time, they twinkled merrily like he knew of a secret Jungkook had no idea of.

Jungkook only came to his senses when he heard Jin snickering in amusement. He blinked several times and then bowed down deeply.
"Welcome to Jeon’s Clan, Kim Taehyung-Ssi."

His bride bowed as soon as he straightened.
"Thank you, Jeon-Ssi. I'm glad to meet you at least."

Jungkook gave a small smile. "As I am."
"Awww," Seola hugged Yura suddenly but the Jeon Lady seemed to gotten used to Seola's touchy nature as she returned the hug.

"Aren't they so cute? Taehyung has been asking about his future husband none stop."

"My Lady!" Taehyung hissed, clearly embarrassed.
Jungkook smirked. His bride sounded so lively, so sweet…

"It's okay Taehyung," Yura smiled.

"Jungkook's the same. He was asking all kinds of questions about you."

Jungkook's smirk dropped immediately. He wanted to protest, but he wouldn't be able to say anything against his Lady.
He blinked as he heard a soft, melodic laughter. He looked to the side to see his bride's hood dropped, revealing sunshine hair. Jungkook's heart skipped a beat. He was expecting to see red hair to be honest, but his bride's soft looking locks that reached to his nape made Jungkook want to reach out and caress them.
Taehyung stopped laughing as he realized that he had dropped his hood. He touched his mouth immediately and took a sigh of relief, his veil was still in its place.

It wasn't exactly necessary for him to cover his face, but he was the only child of the Kim nobles' and their elders were extremely protective over him. They thought if bad eyes landed on Taehyung, they would harm him, cause him to fall ill or bring him bad luck. So, he did as they wished. In the end, their elders knew better than him.
Taehyung had a simple and happy life in their city. Everybody was family, so they were really close to each other. Taehyung had lived his life without a worry in the world till a few weeks ago. Knowing that he was fertile, he had suitors coming from all around the country. But his parents were really picky and they didn't want Taehyung get married to someone not suitable to him.

When The Jeon Lord's suggestion reached them, Hyungsik and Seola were skeptical at first. Jeon’s were a strong and glorious clan just as Kims but their son was seeking a second spouse. It didn't sit well with Seola at first, but Junghyun explained them the situation. The first bride wasn't noble and she wasn't given the Jeon name nor the right to carry their clan symbol, so the marriage was only a word, nothing in the eyes of the people and laws.

After the first wave, Seola had talked to Taehyung, asking his opinion. Knowing his duties perfectly, Taehyung had given his consent to anything his elders would choose for him. Hyungsik had gathered their elders and the notables of their clan and asked for their opinions. After a long discussion, the assembly had decided Taehyung to be the bride of the Jeon.

At first Taehyung wasn't sure of what to feel. But he was still very young and optimistic, so it had been easy for him to take the news and got excited about them. He was going to see a new world, meet new people. But most important of all, he was going to have a husband of his own. Taehyung wasn't actually thinking of getting married soon, but when it was decided, it had sounded like a fairytale from an old book to him. He had no idea about his future's husband's looks or habits but a tiny voice in his heart told him that he was going to be happy.

And now, he was standing right beside him. He was... handsome. Taehyung blushed slightly and he was glad that his veil covered his cheeks. His intended was actually the exact replica of his mother. He had pale skin, dark hair and matching eyes. He looked young and strong, just like a real Lord.
