"What's your game, Y/n?" Jungkook's voice cut through the silence, low and intense. "You've been playing the role too well. It's almost suspicious."
Y/n's eyes flashed with defiance as she crossed her arms. "You think everything is a game, don't you? Maybe I'm just trying to survive this situation."
He stepped closer, his frustration palpable, his eyes narrowed with mistrust. "Your sister wanted my money. How do I know you're any different?"
Y/n's anger flared. "I am not my sister. Stop comparing us. I agreed to this marriage because I refuse to be a coward."
Jungkook's gaze was icy, unyielding. "Strength or stubbornness? You can't fool me, Y/n. I know there's something you're hiding."
"Maybe both," she shot back, her voice trembling with intensity.
He scoffed, the suspicion never leaving his eyes. "Don't play games with me. I've seen enough gold diggers to recognize one."
For a moment, the distance between them seemed insurmountable, the air crackling with unresolved animosity. Y/n's chest heaved with the effort to keep her composure, but she met his gaze head-on, her resolve unwavering.
"Believe what you want, Jungkook," she said, her voice steady. "But I won't let your paranoia dictate my life. I am not my sister."
Jungkook stared at her, the hard lines of his face betraying nothing but relentless doubt. "We'll see about that," he murmured coldly.
