"Don't sulk. That boy is not right for you. He is from that family. That loud, obnoxious and drunkard family." Bong-cha said fuming. Ari was sitting quietly on sofa. Y/N was sitting beside her.
"Moreover, he is friend of that arrogant Jungkook." Bong-cha added while sitting. "Ari ? Are you going to marry our enemy's friend ?" Bong-cha asked.
.
"I didn't even told anything about Jungkook. She doesn't even knows hyung's name. So there is no question of trapping me." Hanwoo said while sitting on sofa and surrounded by others. "When I firsst met her, she didn't asked me about my family nor did I asked her." Hanwoo reasoned. "Our first meeting was complete accident." Hanwoo said with smile.
Hae-won rolled her eyes. Jungkook was sitting quietlt in deep thought. "Hyung ?" Hanwoo called. Jungkook looked at him. "Have you ever seen me in love with any girl ? You all are thinking wrong about Ari." Hanwoo said.
"She is very nice girl. I can't imagine my life without her. I can't live without her." Hanwoo said sadly. "She understands me and she knows how much important you all are for me." Hanwoo said. "If you don't approve then this alliance can't happen. It depends on your opinion."
.
"Unniee, I just know that Hanwoo respects his boss like a hyung, like I respect you." Ari said. "Imo. For hi his hyung's yes that much important like yours is important for me." Ari said. "He never took name of Jungkook. Always called hyung. I thought if families will talk together then it will be good." Ari explained.
"I didn't knew they were our neighbours." Ari said with moist eyes.
.
"They knew everything. It was there plan Can't we see, do we have no eyes ?" Hae-won said. "Tell me are we stupid ?" "Wait a in., mom" Jungkook spoke.
"From when do you know each other ?" He asked Hanwoo. "From last year. When I went to Ilsan for a meeting, that was our second time meeting. She remebered our first meeting." Hanwoo said with smile. "We got to know each other better. I came back but kept contact with her. Through emails and calls."
"When she got to know I live in Seoul, she also planeed to shift here. She told me she was going to stay at her Imo house. But believe me I didn't knew her Imo was your neighbour." Hanwoo said. "If I am not mistaken, you are saying that after few emails and calls you want to marry her ?" Jungkook asked.
"Are you crazy ?" Jungkook asked in disbelief. "Hyung, I love her. You know that love is blind." Hanwoo said. Jungkook sighed. "Don't say such dramatic things." Jungkook said and sat in front of him. "If love is blind then it shouldn't be. 6 years. I spent six years under same roof with MIna." Jungkook said.
"Then what happened ? Love was out of window. No love and trust wa left. Just two strangers were left." Jungkook explained. "They have done so much drama with us." Jungkook said pointing towards door. "Ari's Imo took my CEO tag and spread the rumor in whole building."
"I have affair with their daughter. I am gonna marry her. Hanwoo such people look at status and money. We wish best for you. Do you want our relation to be formed with such family ?" Jungkook asked. "No class. Mom says right they are desperate people. Look I don't know Ari. I won't comment on if he is bad or good."
"But I want to say that women are more practical then men. They are never to be trusted." Jungkook said. "No, Jungkook. This is not right. Every woman is not same." Hae-won said.
"Mom, I am telling from my experience. What I heard from yyou and saw, I am telling just that."Jungkook said silencing Hae-won. "Look, Hanwoo. Love, friendship and romance, these are all baseless talks. Look at me, after seeing my condition then also you want to marry ?"
"Ok, you marry, but what if she loses love for you or gets bored, what will she do ? She will leave you for your boss." Jungkook said. Hanwoo looked at him. "You are feeling bad right ? But this is truth. Women are never satisfied." Jungkook stated.
"And ssuch family ? Which keeps doing exhibition of their daughter ? I am sorry but I don't think of them as decent." Jungkook said.
.
"Decent or not decent,mom. This decision is to be taken first by Ari, then by all of us." Y/N said. Seohee consoled Ari. "The final decision has to be hers. They both love each other, mom." Y/N said to Bong-cha. "Without love people are strangers. I won't let their story end here." Y/N said firmly.
"I will call them right now." Y/N said.
.
The phone rag in living room. Tae was about to get up but Hae-won stopped him. "Let me see." She picked up phone. "Hello. I am Y/N talking. Ari's elder sister." Y/N said. "Shameless. If you couldn't trap my elder son, your mom sent your sister to chase after my hanwoo." Hae-won yelled. Everyone got up from their seat.
Y/N closed her eyes. "How dare you to call me and explain yourself. Depicable." Hae-won said. Jungkook came over and took the phone from her. "Hello." He spoke. "I called to request you that for Hanwoo and Ari's sake we should keep our difference aside for sometime and think." Y/N aid softly.
"Before taking any decision it is necessary for us to meet and talk to each other." Y/N said. "If we could meet at coffee shop right now. It would be nice." Y/N said. Jungkook didn't spoke anything and hung up.
.
It was very late in night and weather was quite stormy when Y/N and Jungkook decided to meet. Jungkook was sitting sprawled on chair in relaxed manner. The waiter came. "Coffee ?" Jungkook asked. Y/N shook her head. Jungkook signalled him to go.
"Can't love be enough to marry for people ?" Y/N asked. Jungkook scoffed. "Have you seen air ? Not right ?" Jungkook asked making Y/N confused. "Like this love is also an illusion. It can't be seen." Y/N frowned.
"And the thing we can't see, how can we trust that ?" Jungkook asked. "Why should we ruin someone's life on such invisible thing. That doesn't make sense." Jungkook shrugged.
"If we talk practically and logically then you are right."Y/N said. "But sometimes you should think with your heart. Love is something that is felt not seen." Y/N said making Jungkook bored.
"Ari and Hanwoo have felt that love." Y/N said. "I agree that our families have differences, we have differences." Y/N said. Jungkook checked his coat without having interest in Y/n's talks.
"But this is not important that we should ruin their life because of our differences." Y/N said with emotions. Jungkook checked his watch. "For their marriage it is not necessary for us to like each other.." Y/N said but noticed Jungkook not interested.
"Are you listening ?" She asked. Jungkook nodded. "Hanwoo is like your little brother and Ari is my little sister. SSo being elders it is our duty to protect their love." Y/N said. Jungkook sighed. "Don't you think so ?"
"Right. Hanwoo iss like my little brother and being elders it is our duty to protect them and their happiness." Jungkook said making Y/N smile. "That's why I say that Hanwoo shouldn't suicide by marriying your sister." Jungkook said casually amking Y/N's smile drop and an angry frown appeared on her face.
"And if you think that you can attach your family's name with our through this marriage then you are wrong. Me and my family will never let this wedding happen. So drop the idea." Jungkook said.
"There is so much bitterness in you." Y/N said. "Well, you at least realised though later, but that's how it is." Jungkook said smirking. "This time I am not feeling bad about me or Ari but more for that little girl Minji." Y/N said with sorrow. Jungkook's smirk dropped and he glared at her.
"And your wife." Y/N said with clenched teeth. "I should have known before coming here that with whom I have come to talk." Y/N said mocking. "The man who can't give love to his family, heck he would understand love." Y/N said.
"Look, enough Y/N." Jungkook aid getting up from his relaxed position and sitting straight. "I am warning you. You have no right to talk about my wife and daughter. Stay in your limits." Jungkook said lowly in anger. Y/N glared back at him.
"I next time you ever talked about Mina or Minji then whatever little respect I have left for women, I will forget that." Jungkook said and left from there. Y/N sighed and kept her head in her hands.
.
Hanwoo was standing in graden. Thunder sounds could heard loudly. Ari came in garden with marshmallow. Hanwoo saw her. He came near her and held her arm gently. "I know Ari you are hurt. I am really sorry for whatever happened. But try to understand I respect hyung..." Hanwoo said.
"Please, Hanwoo." Ari tiredly said and removed his hand from her arm. "Don't give your weakness name of respect for your hyung." Ari said angrily and left from there. "Ari !" Hanwoo called.
Hanwoo also left in anger. Ari reached the entrance when Tae poppedout of nowhere. he petted marshmallow. "Today everything was a mess. Hyung, is very arrogant. I am sorry for that. If I could I would have done anything to solve this problem." Tae said faking concern. Ari just looked away.
"You found Hanwoo to fal in love with. He has no guts. If it was me I would have straight said to hyung that if he likes or not I will marry Ari." Tae said smiling. Ari picked up marshmallow in her arms. "You know Hanwoo has a problem. Comfort zone. Like when boys are confirmed that girl has fallen for them and won't go anywhere they come in comfort zone, I mean they take them for granted." Tae said adding fuel to fire.
Ari pondered over this. "Even Hanwoo should know that you have many options other than him." Tae said adjusting his shirt. Ari looked down and walked away. Tae looked at her hips. "This girl is going to come to you only Tae. It's confirmed." Tae said smirking to himself.
.
Jungkook came out of coffee shop and saw his car missing. He saw his car no. written on road. He looked at the no parking sign. "Damn it." He cursed and called a no. "Yess, My car is towed. Send a man to nearest station and drive my car. I will reach home." Jungkook was talking when Y/N passed him. They both glared at each other.
Y/N stood on side and waited for a cab. Jungkook glanced at her and also waited for cab. A cab came their way. They both called to stop. The cab stopped. "sir," Y/N said but the driver cut her off. "Sorry, but I am going home now. Due to bad weather you are not going to get any cab here." He said and drove.
Jungkook sighed in frustration. Y/N was dejected. She started walking. She saw a few men sitting on side benches. "Excuse me. Is there any cab nearby ?" She asked. "No, there is no cab nearby here but if you want we can give you a lift miss." One of the man said smirking. Y/N felt uncomfortable.
She started walking. "If you say we can carry you." Other man said and all laughed. They started following her. Jungkook was coming far behind. He saw those men. Y/N started walking fast. The men also picked their pace.
Y/N was walking when her ankle got twisted and she was about to fall face flat on ground. But that never happened. A strong hand gripped her wrists and stopped her from falling. Y/N turned around and saw Jungkook standing while gripping her wrists. Because of fast wind his hair were all messy.
He glared at the men following her. "Who is he ?" One man asked. "I think her lover. "Let's go." Other said. They all ran from there. Jungkook pulled Y/N up. Y/N's hair were all over face due to wind. She adjusted her hair. Jungkook was still holding her hand. Y/N looked at those running men with relief. Jungkook left her hand.
"Thank you." Y/N said. Jungkook just looked away and started walking. From here they both walked side by side in silence. They stole glances at each other time to time.
After few minutes it started raining. They both got drenched. They walked fast and saw a bust stop. They stood in it's shelter. Due to being drenched in rain their clothes were wet. Y/N's skin was visible through her shirt. She covered herself with her arms.
Jungkook saw her covering. He removed his coat and kept on bench. Y/N understood that he kept it for her but her pride didn't let her touch it. Jungkook saw her not taking the coat so he took the coat back. After a few moments of standing they saw a cab.
They stopped it but Jungkook stopped it first. Y/N dejectedly stepped back. Jungkook signalled her to go in first. Y/N hesitated but finally sat in the cab. Jungkook didn't sit though. "Sir, come in." The driver said. "No, you go I will take another cab." Jungkook said.
"I thought you are with mam. You won't get any cab in this weather now. It's already late so sit." Driver urged. Y/N quietly shifted to make space for Jungkook. He also got in. The cab drove.
Suddenly Y/N's phone rang. She picked it up. "Hello." She said. "Hello, Y/N." Jaebom spoke.
He was pouring coffee for himself. "Tomorrow there is an event in my office. Everyone is bringing their partners so I thought I mean it would be nice if you would come with me." Jaebom asked with hope. "Sure." Y/N smiled.
"It's raining in background. Where are you ?" Jaebom asked. "I went to a coffee shop. Now I am i a cab." Y/N replied. Suddenly cab halted. "Hey, be careful." Jungkook spoke. Jaebom heard his voice.
"Is there someone with you ?" He asked doubtful. "Yes." Y/N spoke glancing at Jungkook. "It's Mr. Jeon Jungkook." Y/N said. Jungkook looked at her. "Jungkook ? Isn't he the one who was misbehaving with you that day ?" Jaebom asked.
"Yes, I will explain you everything tomorrow when we meet." Y/N said awkwardly. "No problem. Take care." Jaebom smiled and hung up. "Well, I shouldn't ask but I think you were talking with someone special." Jungkook said looking out of window.
"That was my fiancée." Y/N said. "Thn you should have lied why did you told truth ?" Jungkook scoffed. "Without any reason I don't lie to anyone." Y/N said. "Yeah, whatever." Jungkook said rolling his eyes.
.
"Ye-jin tomorrow is Jungkook's award function and today they created this mess." Hae-won said looking at Kang's door. "Okay, tell me what should I wear in tomorrow's function ?" Hae-won asked Ye-jin who was eating apple.
"My head is aching thinking about that."Hae-won said dramatically. "Why will you go in Award function ?" Ye-jin asked confused. "It's written on card. Mr. Jeon Jungkook with spouse that mean wife." Ye-ji said.
"So what ? Can't I go with my eligible son to his award function ?" Hae-won said pouting. "Everyone will be present their with their spouses. It would be good if there is someone who can go to that function with Jungkook." hae-won said lost.
Ye-ji sighed and went to balcony. "Mom, I already told you about that girl. SHe is perfect for Jungkook. Her fashion sense is also good." She said smiling. When she looked down she saw cab stopping in front of entrance.
Jungkook got off from cab followed by Y/N. Ye-ji's eyes widened. "Mom, come fast." She called. "What happened ?" Hae-won said uninterested. Ye-ji pulled her towards balcony. "What happned Ye-ji ?" She asked and looked down. Her eyes also widened.
Jungkook was giving fare to cab driver. "My god !" hae-won gassped. "Wasn't Jungkook going to say no ? How come they are together ?" Ye-ji said. "Such shameless girl is this Y/N." Hae-won spat.
"These mom and daughter are same. Despicable." hae-won said disgusted. "Don't worry mom I know how to keep this honey bee away from my Jungkook." Ye-ji said smirking. Jungkook gave all fare to cab without waiting for Y/N to give her share.
