Taehyung stood abruptly, disbelief clouding his features.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
You can’t be serious.
Kim Namjoon - Tae
Kim Namjoon - Tae's father
I gave her my word,
Namjoon admitted.
Kim Namjoon - Tae
Kim Namjoon - Tae's father
She has no one else. That boy is alone.
Kim Namjoon - Tae
Kim Namjoon - Tae's father
This is bigger than our past.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
So I’m supposed to marry a stranger out of pity?
Kim Namjoon - Tae
Kim Namjoon - Tae's father
No. Out of duty.
Kim Namjoon - Tae
Kim Namjoon - Tae's father
And because I believe—deep down—you’re not as cold as you pretend to be.
Taehyung looked away, jaw clenched.
Meanwhile, Jungkook sat by his mother’s bed. Jissoo held his hand with a soft smile.
Jeon Jissoo - Jungkook
Jeon Jissoo - Jungkook's mother
They agreed,
She whispered.
Jungkook blinked.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Who agreed?
Jeon Jissoo - Jungkook
Jeon Jissoo - Jungkook's mother
Namjoon. The Kims. You’ll marry their son.
Jungkook’s heart dropped.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Eomma, what...?
Jeon Jissoo - Jungkook
Jeon Jissoo - Jungkook's mother
It’s my last wish, Jungkook-ah. Promise me you’ll do it.
Tears spilled down his cheeks.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
I don’t even know him.
Jeon Jissoo - Jungkook
Jeon Jissoo - Jungkook's mother
You’ll be safe. That’s all I ever wanted.
As Jissoo drifted into sleep, Jungkook whispered,
Jeon Jungkook

I promise.
Two strangers. One promise. A marriage neither asked for.

Meanwhile
Namjoon was laying on bed but can't sleep.... he still have some soft spot for Jisoo... and hearing about she is on death bed made him break.... unknowingly his heart and mind went to past..... Their past story
.
Flashback
Jissoo laughed as the wind tousled her hair, her cheeks flushed from the cold.
Namjoon’s fingers tightened around hers as they walked along the Han River, their steps in sync.
She wasn’t dressed like a high-society woman—not in that oversized knit sweater or those dusty sneakers—
But Namjoon never noticed anyone else.
Young Jisoo
Young Jisoo
Why are you staring?
She teased, nudging him.
Young Namjoon
Young Namjoon
Because I can,
He said softly.
Young Namjoon
Young Namjoon
And because you’re mine.
At twenty-one, Namjoon had just returned from university in London,
Heir to one of South Korea’s most powerful conglomerates.
At Nineteen, Jissoo was a struggling artist’s daughter, who worked part-time at a bookstore and sold handmade crafts online.
On paper, they weren’t a match. But love had a way of flipping logic on its head.
He proposed after just eight months—on the bookstore floor, with a silver band and shaky hands.
She said yes before he could finish asking.
They married in secret first, afraid of his family’s wrath.
And when the truth exploded like a grenade at a Kim family dinner, the consequences were brutal.
