Introduction
Taehyung had always been the kind of girl others looked up to—graceful, intelligent, and disciplined. At 23, she had just completed her master's in Fine Arts and was already being considered for a junior lecturer position at a prestigious college. Her life was a straight line of achievements. Teachers loved her. Parents used her as an example. She had little time for anything outside her goals.
Jungkook, 18 and still in his final year of high school, was the complete opposite. He was impulsive, popular, and confident—sometimes too confident for his own good. He came from a wealthy family with political connections, and while he wasn't exactly reckless, he was used to getting his way. He hated being compared. And unfortunately, he was compared to Taehyung—a lot.
Their families knew each other well, often attending the same events and parties. That’s where Jungkook first met her—not as a student, not as a peer, but as "that perfect noona" everyone kept praising.
She had corrected his grammar once at a charity gala.
He never forgot it.
Taehyung
You should say, 'I'm Jungkook' instead of 'myself Jungkook.
From that moment on, he disliked her. It wasn’t hatred exactly—it was more complicated than that. He saw her as someone who represented everything he couldn’t stand: control, responsibility, and the suffocating expectations of adulthood.
While Taehyung barely noticed Jungkook, he watched her with a mix of resentment and fascination. He thought she was fake—too perfect to be real. And somewhere deep inside, he wanted to expose that. To show everyone she wasn’t as flawless as they believed.
But neither of them expected that a scandal—one neither caused but both were tied to—would force their names together in a marriage neither wanted.
