《Engaged to the Bad Boy's Brother✔》SEVENTEEN
Advertisement
Jinyoung stood in front of you awkwardly as you sat by the dressing table. His hair was slicked back but he was wearing a plain t-shirt and jeans. You looked up at him and he was staring at the ground.
"I understand if you don't want to marry me anymore." You muttered, catching his attention. He snaps his head up and shakes it immediately.
"N-no I do but... Do you?" He eyes you warily.
"I-I'm not sure." You bite your lip and pick on your fingers. "I would've been fine with it if we had more time to get to know each other but..."
Your eyes go towards the letter on the dressing table. Jinyoung follows your gaze and he frowns.
"You love Jungkook."
"I do... I'm sorry, I thought that if I married you I would be able to forget him and move on." You felt tears pricking your eyes. "I truly was really really slowly but I heard everything your mother told you last night. If I married you I would feel used, my family would suffer loss. I don't want that to happen, I don't want to feel that way."
"I understand." Jinyoung nods his head. "If only I found this out earlier then I would've found a way to break the contract."
"What even happens if we break the contract?" You were curious, you never really read it over before signing now you face consequences.
"The family who breaks the contract needs to pay 20 million."
"20?! Your parents really are crazy. It's a marriage contract."
"If it was broken they would suffer a greater loss since us being married means that they can get help from your parents any time and they'll take more than just 20 million like the devils they are."
"I never knew that you could talk about your parents like that." You grinned and he laughs.
"Well after seeing what they've done I don't exactly want to call them my parents." Jinyoung scratches the back of his neck and thinks for a moment. "How about I break the engagement with you?"

"Then your family will suffer loss." You say it in a 'duh' tone.
"They're the ones who started it, they should pay for it."
"But I don't want that. If anything they'll probably prey on another family to earn what they lost again." You shrugged and stared at your new bracelet. "The best case scenario is I manage to convince my parents to give up the 20 million. I'm sure they'll do it, better than losing more."
Jinyoung sighs. "I'll look over the contract one more time, if there's nothing we can do then we'll do your plan but I'll look over the contract trust me if anything goes suspicious."
"Jinyoung... Why are you doing this? No offense but I thought you would act like nothing happened, not try to help me."
"I like you, I haven't tried to deny it since I first knew about it. However I didn't want you to get caught up in my parents' plan to save their company." He smiles at you making you feel bad. "Plus I can see that Jungkook loves you, he's my brother, I want him to be happy too so if you have a chance to be happy, I'll give up the marriage."
"You're really mature." You couldn't help but say causing him to laugh. "Thank you. You're a really caring brother, you always notice the little things Jungkook does."
"You too." He teases making you roll your eyes. "Wait..." Jinyoung mutters, looking as if realization hits him. "If you-"
"Jinyoung? What are you doing here? You're not allowed to see Y/N until the wedding!" Mrs. Jeon walks into the dressing room with the rest of the bridal party. You and Jinyoung share a look.
"Sorry mom... I just got too excited."
"Well go back to your dressing room, your father is looking for you." Jinyoung gives you one last look and a nod before he leaves the room.
Mrs. Jeon turns to you and smiles excitedly grasping onto your hands which were on your lap. "I can't wait to have you as my daughter in law. You're perfect for my Jinyoung."

For Jinyoung or your company?
You look at your mom pleadingly and she steps forward. "Taeyeon I think you should give her some space, she's really nervous right now."
"Right." Mrs. Jeon nods and steps away from you and you let out a breath.
"Mom can I speak with you?" You looked at the bridal party. "Outside?"
"Sure sweetie." Your mother takes your hand and you head back to the pond. "What's wrong?"
"If I don't want to get married are you willing to give up 20 million dollars?" You bluntly say, there was no other way to say this more gently.
"What are you talking about?"
"The marriage contract, the family who breaks the deal has to pay 20 million."
"Where did you hear this from?"
"Jinyoung. If we get married then we'll be forced to aid the Jeon's."
"The deal was for them to help us."
"No mom, the contract forces the party to help the other when in need. The Jeon's are kind of in a situation right now."
"They'll take more than 20." Your mother mutters and brings her hands to her face. "Our lawyers didn't see anything wrong with the contract, they must've not looked closely enough."
"Are you willing to do it?" You stared at your feet.
"Of course, if we don't end it soon then we'll be worse off." Your mother walks up to you and pulls you into a hug. "I know it seemed like we only wanted you to be married for money but we wanted you to live a good life, a secured one where you're happy. We thought that maybe that Jeon boy would love you back."
"You knew from the beginning?" Your jaws dropped. Just how many people knew.
"Well you're certainly not doing a good job at hiding it." She smiles and sips on her glass of wine that she brought out. "Cancel the engagement, you know your father and I will do anything even if we have to give up the company. 20 million is nothing to us anymore."
"Right... When were you going to tell me how rich we were suddenly?" You crossed your arms suddenly feeling betrayed.
"Well if you knew you would've used all that money on buying more books. We already had a whole library in the house just for you."
"I would not! Ok maybe."
"Get back inside, you're going to that altar and reject him in front for everyone to see."
"Now that seems kind of rude. Jinyoung doesn't deserve being left at the altar."
"Only way people will know you broke the engagement" She shrugs and you hug your mom.
"I love you."
You head back inside and your mother leaves the room probably looking for your father. You put on your dress while the staff does touches on your dress and makeup. You feel your heart beating fast knowing that the wedding was getting closer and closer.
When it was time, you stood in front of the venue doors. You took a deep breath in and braced yourself for what was to happen next. The music starts inside and the doors slowly open, you walk down the aisle looking down at your feet, people are whispering but not something you would expect.
"Where is the groom?"
You looked and stared at the altar now just a few feet away. Jinyoung was missing, where could he have been? You look over to your parents who shrugged, then at the Jeon's who were in total distress.
How could they start the wedding with the groom?
You felt your ears heat up embarrassed as you continued walking to the end. You turn to your parents, your mother and Mrs. Jeon rushed towards you.
"Y/N where is Jinyoung?" Mrs. Jeon grips your shoulders a little bit too hard making you wince.
"Your son must be having second thoughts." Your father narrows his eyes at Mrs. Jeon. "It breaks our contract, you know the consequences."
The Jeon's tell everyone to stay seated while they look for your fiance. You waited a long time before the doors suddenly burst open, Jungkook walked down the aisle confidently wearing a suit. "Sorry for making you wait, the tailor gave me the wrong suit but the groom's here."

World Story: Biographies of Extraordinary People
Important note: I’d like to thank Dr. Buller for their advice on dialogue by their critical review. And I’m on a one-month break to post the first revised chapters on Scribble Hub. Please stay tuned! Even in faraway worlds, every folk had a story, and monsters came in numerous shapes and sizes. However, heroes never existed in this otherworld. Even the most idealistic understood this deep within. But as they abandoned their humanity at times, they quickly regained it. It was not that they became human again. They always were. So what happened when the monster devoid of humanity appeared? Well, the “heroes” sought to slay it at all costs either way, lest it would be the end of their stories. A portal/isekai fantasy that I wanted to deconstruct some elements within. Expect a whole ton of references and dialogue because I’ll deliberately write it more like a light novel. The last thing to consider is that Japanese names in my novel will come with kanji/hiragana characters within parentheses. The same goes for any other derived from non-Latin writing systems. It’s because none of the names I write will be accidental or random. They’ll all have meaning. New chapters Monday to Thursday at 11:00 PM (GMT+8), though sometimes I can’t. Credit for the cover art goes to HWPerfidy. She’s a freelance artist on this site, and I’d love anyone who shows her support.
