"So how was your lunch?" Taehyung asks sipping on his coffee. "Well.....it was good."

You threw Mr. Scratch your dick out of the topic and concentrated on jungkook tricking him into believing that it was the bunny whom you had lunched with. He looked down and nodded.

"I hope he didn't charm you like me. Cause even if he does..." He looks at you and grins. "I'll still try to pull you back to me." You gulp.

Please stop trying....you are making me feel guilty.

You struggled to chuckle. "Why are you so much persistent on me?" You see a faint blush on his cheek while exiting the caffè. It was slightly drizzling outside.

Please don't behave like that.

How much ever you crushed on taehyung since years, your thoughts still went back to Jungkook for unknown reasons.

Even right now, you were comparing their expressions and habits.

"Wel...since the uni......I had a crush on you but couldn't approach you. So now, once I got back and settled down.....I am trying to make you feel the same way I do towards you." Your heart crushed hearing his words.

As you stared into the into the void, your ears cancelled all other noises but jungkook's constant whining.

No one likes Kookie

Kookie hates houzzzz

Dad doesn't like kookie

But kookie has noona!

Noona will keep kookie happy!!

You suddenly felt a warm pair of lips on yours. Your eyes snapped open feeling taehyung's arms wrapping around your waist.

Why has a stranger become more important to you than someone whom you have liked since the past 4 years?

You were completely paralyzed as he broke the kiss. "So....do you feel the same for me?" He looked in your eyes expectantly.

I don't know.....

You close your eyes and moistened your lips before answering.

"I-I'm getting married Tae."

If it was possible......you wanted to close your eyes forever because you were too scared to look at him again. You felt your heart aching after those words slipped from your mouth.

Tears cascaded down your cheeks as you slowly open your eyes trying to be brave. You see a blank taehyung staring at you. "I-I'm so sorry Tae. I d-didn't have the courage to tell you sooner. I'm so sorry." Your voice cracked. "Is this the same man whom you had lunch with?" You nod slowly.

"B-But you said you were against arrange marriage and moreover you didn't like the idea to marry a complete stranger."

Maybe Jungkook was a stranger but you had seen him from inside and knew all of his fears and the things he liked. You had studied him in his true form without any hiding.

You knew him more than you did taehyung at the moment.

"T-Things happened." You managed to say. "Are your p-parents forcing you? Cause if they are, I-I will convince them anyhow....I won't l-let you do this to yourself. We can figure it out t-together. I-"

You sigh closing your eyes. "No Tae, it's me. I agreed to marry him." He bit his lips and stared at the now cold coffee in his hands. "Y-You don't like me?"

I do....but-

"Taehyung, I'm not good enough for you. There are reasons taehyung.....I do like you in fact maybe I even love you but....." You sigh.

"Then why are you marrying a complete stranger?!!" His voice came out strained as he shook you by your shoulders.

To love him.

"I-I can't tell you taehyung." You hugged him tightly. "Why not y/n? What do you see in him that you are leaving me for that man?" You noticed he didn't hug you back.

You look up at him teary eyed still wrapping your hands around his torso. "Trust me taehyung, I love you but if I marry you, someone else's life would be ruined. A-And I don't want that. B-Because if that happens, he would die from inside and I would always blame it on me and regret it all my life."

He broke the hug. "So you are sacrificing your life for a complete stranger whom you've met for only something like 3-4 hours?"

Even less.

You nod. "If I have the chance to heal him, I would do it."

Taehyung chuckled backing away. "Do you know how much of an idiot you are? Who do you think you are? A fucking therapist? A physic ward? A psychiatrist to let him dump all his sufferings on you? You are choosing a husband y/n. Not a fucking experiment to work on! You sound like those girls who think that they can change 'bad boys'. No you fucking can't! Wake up y/n!"

You reached forward but he backed away.

The taller shook his head before sighing. "You are unbelievable y/n. Utterly unbelievable."

You were shocked too after hearing your own voice.

"I hope he knows this sacrifice of yours and treats you the same way. Because if he doesn't........I'll come back to take you away."

"Dad!" You see him entering the house after a long day of work. "I want you to talk to Mr. Jeon..... about the marriage." Your mom gasps while the man in front of you holds your shoulders looking bewildered.

"Are you drunk sweetie? Are you on drugs?" You roll your eyes hearing your extra-ass dad. "No dad, I'm thinking straight. I would like to have a talk with jungkook."

Your mom hugs you tightly and kissed your forehead. "I knew you would like him!"

You gave her a tight lipped smile and sighed internally.

I hope I'm making the right choices.

Once your dad talked with his father next day, you both were scheduled to meet 2 days from then.

"I-I don't know jimin....I don't know what I am doing. I'm just randomly taking decisions. Moreover, that girl even agreed to meet me even though we saw each other only for like few seconds."

Jimin tilted his head and stared outside the window. "You know......it feels fishy. Why did y/n suddenly decided to marry you? Plus you had act cold towards her that day and never tried to charm her."

"I was too frustrated that day and just wanted to be alone." Jimin nodded. "The point is that why would she agree to it if you were being bratty towards her? As if she knew the situation you were going through and knew that you aren't like that actually."

Being a lawyer, jimin went through all kinds of people and would point out if he felt something wrong in their behaviour.

"But what if she simply fell for my looks?" Jimin shook his head. "She would get plenty of good looking men. Plus you told that she was pretty and from a wealthy family too so I don't think she would only look at your appearance to marry you."

"Do you know the creepiest thing? I felt like I knew her. I just know....her voice sounded familiar." Jimin looked up. "You don't have her photo, do you?" Jungkook shook his head. "You know? I have a theory......what if y/n is the mystery girl? You said she sounded familiar right? And you don't even have much connections with women too."

"But then why would she hide it? But yeah....when she saw me for the first time, she looked surprised." Jimin clapped his hands together. "That's what! Why would she get surprised seeing a random stranger?!!"

"She tried to get away from me with a shocked face and even stuttered while answering me." Jimin snapped his fingers. "I need her photo.....real quick. You are going to meet her tomorrow right? Get a selfie."
