Young Eun's POV
"Your name?"
My father questioned Jungkook who was sitting beside me with an unreadable expression.

"Jungkook. Jeon Jungkook. Pleasure to meet you Mr and Mrs Choi."
He stood up and bowed 90 degrees. Wow, I've never seen this obedient side of him.

A grin formed on my face unknowingly when I saw his fingers trembling a little. I rested my hand on his to reassure him and he flashed me a nervous smile.

"And what relationship—"

"He's just—"

Jungkook interrupted me.

"I would like to ask for your daughter's hand in marriage"

"WHAT?"
I exclaimed a bit too unwomanly as my parent's eyes widened. After realising how loud I was, I quickly put a hand over my mouth to shut myself up.

Hello? Let me just point out the fact that this is the first time he is meeting my parents.

"A-Are you serious?" My mother eyed at him suspiciously as Jungkook nodded confidently, causing my mother to gasp.

"I've known your daughter for quite some time now. We just met but I'll wait for both of your approval—"

"Excuse me for a moment, we need to talk!"

I quickly stood up and grabbed Jungkook's hand, signalling him to move. He knitted his brows at me, shaking his head.

I rolled my eyes and kicked his knee as he winced in pain. "Follow me" I commanded and he quietly obeyed after bowing to my parents again.

Third-Person's POV
"Do you love me?"

Jungkook spoke, breaking the dead silence, a sigh left Young Eun's red plumped lips.

She sat on her bed with her legs crossed as the lost boy sat across from her on a chair. She made sure to leave the door open slightly so that Jungkook wouldn't try anything funny with her parents just outside the living room.

"Jungkook, look. It's not that I don't want to marry you.." Young Eun confessed, feeling her heart clenching.

Jungkook already saw this coming. It's true that he's almost forcing her to marry him by buying her a wedding gown, a ring and also meeting her parents. She was a little uncomfortable.

"I just broke up with Daehwi yesterday. I can't say that I'm over him but I can't say that I don't love you."

"Are you two timing?—"

"Jungkook! I dumped Daehwi! Can't you see? I'm not ready. I feel horrible, guilty, disgusted, I'm a mess. I can't do this now and also I'm still a student! I don't have enough money to support myself! I won't force you to understand me since you're rich af and you don't have to worry about anything but have you ever considered about my feelings? You love me? Pfft, please you're just scared of Namjoon so you want to marry me to protect me, right? Not because you love me right?"

The girl was already in a crying mess as she yelled those words at Jungkook who's fingers started trembling again.

"Y-Young Eun, I-I don't understand—"

"Then don't! Don't ever try to understand me."
She screamed, ruffling her hair as frustration took over her.

The frightened boy quickly ran over to her side and placed his hand on her cheeks to wipe her tears, but only to get his hand slapped away by Young Eun.

She stormed towards the door and pushed it open, signalling Jungkook to get out. However, her parents heard and saw everything, their eyes enlarged at their little daughter's unusual behaviour.
