Jungkook and you are in a marriage alliance. Only an alliance…no feelings…right? Wrong.

You are his wife, and he is your husband. Your goal is to help him eliminate any snakes or enemies in his life, while he, in turn, married you to help you claim your inheritance.

Now, the two of you stand in an expansive, opulent venue—another exclusive charity event attended by Seoul’s elite.

You stand beside him, dressed in a long, elegant navy blue gown that perfectly complements his tailored suit. The gown features an off-the-shoulder neckline, a fitted bodice that accentuates your figure, and a skirt that is partially flowing with a thigh-high slit, revealing just enough to be alluring yet sophisticated. The fabric catches the light, highlighting its luxurious quality.

He stands close, one hand firmly gripping your hips to keep you steady, the other gracefully holding a flute of crystal-clear champagne.

Suddenly, his father appears, flanked by Jungkook’s stepmother—whom Jungkook despises—with her polished, skeptical expression.

Jungkook’s father exudes authority and intimidation—his presence commanding and formidable. He is a stoic, cold man, known for dominating the Jeon Empire, one of Seoul’s most influential and feared business dynasties.

Jungkook shoots his father a look, pulling you closer, his grip on your hips tightening to assert his stance.

Jungkook’s father speaks first, his voice smooth but cutting

“So, this is the woman you’ve brought home… interesting. It’s the first time I’ve seen you get close to a woman… usually, you keep them at arm’s length.”

Jungkook responds with a subtle hum, voice cold and steady

“She’s different. She’s not just any other woman. She’s mine.”

Jungkook shot his step-mother a harsh look as if to say ‘don’t you dare get close to her’ , the lady just scoffed and rolls her eyes.

The man nods firmly and glanced at you, he felt oddly paternal towards you…maybe it was your delicate face…

“I see…say sweetheart, what made you choose my son and not the other bachelors available?”
