Marriage Contract - on-hold

Chapter Seven

"Mr. Jeon Jungkook... marry me."

Jungkook let out a baffled sigh as the voice of Yuna still lingering in his mind.

"That is your tenth time sighing. Is the meeting with Ms. Choi that bad?" Hoseok asked at the latter who's eyes closed while leaning his head on his seat.

"Hyung, can you drive me to the nearest bar? I need to cool down my nerves." Jungkook mumbled but loud enough for Hoseok and the driver to hear.

"That bad, huh?" Hoseok breathed out while looking at his dongsaeng.

Jungkook nods his head while his eyes closed. He wants to know whether this is just a dream or not. It took him back at the sudden proposal he heard-- he got used to hearing it from other women he met-- but why is it taking a troll on him when Yuna said it?

"It must be a joke-- yeah a joke, that's right." He mumbled while nodding his head that earned a weird look from Hoseok; who was watching how he mumble and nod his head.

"You need to go to a bar. You're mumbling to yourself." Hoseok commented before tearing his eyes off on his dongsaeng.

AFTER A WHILE, they finally made it to the bar. It was the same bar where Jungkook and Yuna that named herself Yuju-- met for the first time.

Jungkook immediately opens the door and step outside of the car-- not even waiting for Hoseok to come out and just went straight inside of the bar.

"I'm starting to wonder what those two talked about that made him like this." Hoseok watched his dongsaeng while shaking his head at how he didn't wait for him.

Jungkook didn't even get distracted by the women that start spawning over him. His mind was pre-occupied by Yuna's voice that still didn't stop replaying on his mind like a broken record. And how her gaze tells him that she wants to marry him-- whether he likes it or not.

He sat himself down at the couch of the V.I.P room he owned before grabbing the expensive whiskey and poured some on his glass. He let the ice cools it down before gulping it in one go. He grunts as the bitter taste of the whisper flash down in his throat and making him feel-- quite calm now.

"Tell me, what happens on your talk with Ms. Yuna?" Hoseook sat down at the couch beside Jungkook; who poured himself some whiskey again.

Jungkook let out a sigh while his eyes follow the ice while swaying his glass around, gently.

"She wants me-- to marry her."

Jungkook glanced at his Hyung; who spilled out his drink.

"W-what? Really?"

Jungkook leans his back on the couch and lets out a breath. "Believe it or not."

"Wah! I never thought that Ms. Yuna finds you attractive that she boldly asked you to marry her even it's your first meeting. Isn't that 'love at first si-"

"It's not a 'love at first sight'," Jungkook cut off what his Hyung was about to say. "It's more than she needs something from me."

"Do you know what it was?" Hoseok asked who's thinking more carefully about what word to use.

"... Protection," Jungkook answered before he gulped down the whiskey in one sip like it was just water.

"Protection? Is her life gets threatened by some notorious gang or something?" Hoseok asked while raising a brow.

"From someone related to her-- someone who obsessed about having the position." Jungkook breathed out while putting down his glass before glancing at Hoseok.

"That's very unexpected-- did she said who is it?"

"That's a question that I don't think I can answer, Hyung." Jungkook's gaze turns into apologetically. But, Hoseok nods his head; he understands it.

"It's okay," He reassured while patting his dongsaeng's back.

Jungkook let out a heavy sigh before putting his hand on his face.

"Are you-- planning to accept her proposal?" Jungkook stares at the corner when his Hyung suddenly asks him that question.

"I don't want her to take everything, my father worked hard for. Marry me, Mr. Jeon Jungkook."

Jungkook let out a shaky breath as he felt his heartbeat faster than normal.

'I never expected that you could show that kind of expression. I always heard that you always put a blank and cold expression on your face. You always surprise me, Choi Yuna.'

"What are you thinking?" Jungkook blinked his eyes before glancing at his Hyung; who's raising a brow at his way. Jungkook giggled before picking up his glass from the table.

"I'm thinking about accepting her proposal," He responds while he drinks the whiskey.

"That's quite unexpected, but why?"

"I feel like it-- and, she took my interest. I want to know more about Choi Yuna; the Ice Queen." Jungkook smirked; his playfulness is now showing up because he's getting a little tipsy.

"Tch! Are you taking this as an advantage to add Ms. Choi in your list?" Hoseok asked in annoyance as he notices the kind of smirk Jungkook had.

"If yes, you are acting like a total jerk and I can't believe why all of those young businessmen-- you're the one that I worked with." Jungkook let out a chuckle that earned a glare from his Hyung.

"I'm just kidding, Hyung." He reassured.

"That's not even funny, you brat." Hoseok hissed before slapping his dongsaeng on the back of his head.

Jungkook let a grunt out of the pain at how hard the slap is. Afterward, he suddenly in dazed-- looking at the table. His mind starts flashing Yuna's face as she talks to him and before saying that she wants to marry Jungkook.

Why of all men wanting to date her even she had a cold demeanor, why him? There are a few men that find her attractive, why him?

Hoseok raised a brow when he notices the sudden smile that raises from Jungkook's lips. He didn't know why the younger acting weird as he is now. But, one thing for sure-- it quite makes him nervous-- not for his dongsaeng, but for Choi Yuna.
