Lisa

Lisa never imagined she would end up marrying Jungkook. Much less that it would be a marriage of convenience. Their families had decided to merge their companies and forced them both to marry for a year. For Lisa, it was strange, but she would try to abide by the agreement. Jungkook, on the other hand, never accepted the marriage.

After the wedding, they both arrived at the house where they would live together. Jungkook put down his things and looked at Lisa indifferently.

—Listen to me carefully. This is not a real marriage.

Lisa remained silent.

"I don't want you here, and I don't want you interfering in my life. You just have to fulfill your part of the contract. Smile when we're in front of our families and pretend we're a happy couple. When we're alone, stay away from me."

-Understood.

—And don't expect me to change my mind. I'm never going to fall in love with you.

Lisa felt those words hurt her, but she didn't let it show.

—Don't worry. I didn't expect you to either.

Jungkook looked at her for a few seconds before looking away. Months passed. In public, Jungkook pretended to be the perfect husband. He smiled at Lisa and acted as if they were deeply in love. But when they were alone, he reverted to being cold and distant. He constantly reminded her that their marriage was a sham. Lisa tried to endure it in silence.

One night, after returning from an event, Lisa found Jungkook sitting in the living room.

—Jungkook...

What do you want?

—The contract ends in six months.

I know.

—And what will happen next?

Jungkook looked at her without showing any emotion.

We're getting a divorce.

Lisa lowered her gaze.

-Alright.

I don't know why you're surprised. You knew from the beginning that this would end like this.

Lisa didn't respond. Jungkook would never regret that marriage. Nor did he intend to change his attitude. To him, Lisa was just his contract wife. And the remaining six months were simply a countdown until he could walk away from her.

The story revolves around a marriage of convenience with a complicated dynamic. Jungkook maintains his cold and distant personality throughout, while Lisa tries to find a way to cope with the situation and preserve her dignity. The main conflict lies in how they both deal with a marriage neither of them chose and that has an expiration date.
