Arranged marriage is a type of marital union where the bride and groom are selected by individuals other than the couple themselves, particularly by family members such as the parents. In some cultures a professional matchmaker may be used to find a spouse for a young person. Arranged marriage is usually used to either solve a conflict between feuding families, royals to make an alliance between kingdoms in the old Medieval and royalty days, or other reasons. Also, nowadays, in modern times, it doesn't matter whether it's the same sex or two different sexes, due to LGBTQ+ rights. (This is all I know. Thank you, fanfics, Google, and Disney movies)
And the picture above is a reference for the flashback. (Bet you only thought it's there because it's really cute, which it is)

FLASHBACK (around 20 years ago):
Little Kim Taehyung was excited. Today was his first day of preschool. He was ready to learn new things and play with new friends!
(A/N: This were my thoughts when it was my first day of preschool. I can't believe I actually remembered it 😮)
He walked down the halls to his classroom only to find a group of four girls. At first glance, they looked like they were talking in a corner. But they were crowding a boy. And he knew that boy. His name is Jung Hoseok. His cute little hyung and playmate.
At first, he thought it was a good crowd, since Hoseok was so sweet and kind. But when he got a bit closer, he realised they were bullying him, both physically and emotionally. They must've pushed him to the ground and started kicking him.
"W-What did I-I do w-wrong?" Hoseok asked them, fear in his voice.
"Everyone likes you, not us. That's not how it works around here. Guess you're the first boy we're gonna teach a lesson," One of the girls, maybe the leader, told him. For a four year old's insult, she had the same venom in her voice as a teenager's. They all continue kicking him, especially in the face.
(A/N: I was bullied on my first day too 😢)
That made Taehyung mad. And Hoseok was his friend. And nobody messes with Taehyung's friends. Nobody.
"Hey! Get away from him!" Taehyung angrily shouted. He ran between the girls and Hoseok, shielding Hoseok from them. Hoseok hid behind him, whimpering like a puppy.
"Give me one good reason why," One of the girls spat.
"Because...," Taehyung looked at Hoseok's eyes. They were doe-shaped, brown, sparkly, and full of tears. He looks like Bambi, and they've got a lot in common. "I'll protect him." He whispered, determined. Hoseok gave him a teary smile.
"Um, excuse me?" The girls asked him.
Taehyung suddenly started stomping his feet and repeatedly raising his fist. Hoseok gasped and grabbed Taehyung's arm, lips pouting and body trembling out of fear. "I'll protect him! I will protect MY HYUNG!!!" His voice and foot stomping were getting louder and louder.
The girls realised what he was doing and ran out of the classroom. For one, they couldn't hit the younger kids, and everyone hates spanking. Two, the younger kid's actions could attract a teacher's attention. And three, Kim Taehyung was practically known for doing stupid things and barely getting a scratch. So he could take a kick, and a punch. And other things that could physically hurt him.
Once the girls were gone, Taehyung turned around and checked on Hoseok, seeing if he was alright. Seeing if those stupid girls hit him. There was only a small, unnoticeable, bruise on his forehead. Still, it pissed the younger off. Growling soft enough so Hoseok wouldn't hear, Taehyung took Hoseok's small hand and they went to the bathroom.
