    Summary

    Seokjin first sees Jungkook in a room filled with relatives and expectations.

    It isn’t love at first sight. It isn’t even comfort. It’s an exchange of polite nods, careful eye contact, and two signatures waiting to be placed beside each other on a contract neither of them asked for.

    Their families call it stability. Security. Tradition.
    They call it an arrangement.

    Jin carries the quiet ache of a past relationship that ended in betrayal. Jungkook carries the ghost of a love he thought would last forever. Neither of them planned to marry a stranger. Neither of them planned to try again.

    But somewhere between shared dinners that feel too formal, late-night conversations that stretch longer than intended, and small moments of jealousy neither wants to admit to—something begins to soften.

    A glance that lingers too long.
    A hand that stays just a second more than necessary.
    A quiet, unspoken fear of losing something they were never supposed to have.

    They are strangers, on paper.

    But love doesn’t always ask for permission.

    And sometimes, the most unexpected marriages become the gentlest kind of love story.

    [Completed story. Happy ending. Lots of smut ;)]
