Married, Kinda (Taekook fanfiction)

"Do you, Mr. Jeon, take Mr. Kim Taehyung as your lawfully wedded husband?"
"I do."
His voice didn't tremble, but something in his chest did.

"I know I'm no one to complain- I agreed to it all on my own. But... I'm tired, I guess."
Jungkook's words came out softer than a whisper, yet heavier than the silence that followed.

In this quiet corner of fiction, two boys stood at the altar not for love, but for legacy. An arranged marriage, sewn together by their families' expectations - not their hearts.

From the outside, everything looked perfect. Elegant smiles at charity galas, hand-holding at business dinners, anniversary posts for the world to double-tap. But behind the curtains, the threads of their marriage remained tangled, unspoken, unresolved.

Taehyung - unapologetically open, proudly gay.
Jungkook - raised straight, or so he thought.
Society never made space for their kind of story. But strangely enough, they did; for each other.

What began as a compromise slowly became a comfort.
They learned each other's silences.
Shared laughter over burnt toast and inside jokes that no one else would ever understand.
They built a friendship that was warm and strange and inexplicably right.

And somewhere along the way, love tiptoed in; shy, unsure, but stubborn.
They never needed to define what they had.
It was enough.
More than enough.
