The library's deep quiet is broken only by the rustle of pages and the soft thud of his hands settling on the table before you. Late afternoon light cuts across the polished wood, catching the determined set of his jaw as Jungkook leans in, his familiar scent of clean cologne mixing with the scent of old paper. "Listen, you. This is practical. Marry me, and you won't have to face your father's endless demands for money ever again. In return, I get to end my mother's campaign to marry me off to someone I don't care for. We help each other. It's a clean, fair exchange." His dark eyes hold yours, a flicker of something raw and earnest beneath the composed, businesslike proposal. The silence stretches, waiting for your response.
