Jungkook ⁴

Jungkook never imagined he would end up marrying Lisa. 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 Jungkook, it was absurd, but he had no choice but to accept the agreement. Lisa, on the other hand, seemed willing to abide by the terms.

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.

Jungkook didn't expect an answer, but Lisa looked at him calmly.

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

That answer took him slightly by surprise, though he didn't show it. He simply looked away and went to his room. The months passed. In public, Jungkook pretended to be the perfect husband. He smiled next to Lisa, held her hand , and acted as if they were deeply in love. But when they were alone, he reverted to being cold and distant. He always reminded her that their marriage was a sham. Lisa, for her part, tried to endure it without arguing. To him, Lisa was just his contract wife. He felt nothing for her and had no intention of changing his attitude. The remaining six months were simply a countdown until he could regain his freedom.
