Breaking the silence, Jungkook asked, "I hope you weren't forced into this meeting." Y/n shifted her gaze from the passing scenery to him, a small smile gracing her lips. "I wouldn't say 'forced,' but I came because of my parents' request," she confessed. Listening carefully, Jungkook nodded and shared, "Well, same here. My parents and Grandpa insisted I attend this meeting today." Y/n acknowledged with a simple, "Oh." The silence resumed until Jungkook questioned, "You understand the purpose behind this meeting, right?" He turned to look at her, and Y/n met his gaze briefly before casting her eyes downward. "Yes," she replied softly. Jungkook hummed in acknowledgment and continued driving, maintaining his attention on the road. After a pause, he added, "I don't have a reason to reject this request." Y/n's heart somersaulted upon hearing those words, her face flushing even deeper. Jungkook kept his eyes fixed ahead on the road as he continued, "This marriage could be beneficial in many ways, bringing our families together. It could also have countless benefits for our companies if it happens." He paused for a moment, then stated, "The decision solely depends on you. Whatever your answer, I'll respect it." Y/n hummed in response, feeling both grateful and overwhelmed by his considerate approach. Jungkook turned his attention back to the road, his focus on driving. Y/n couldn't help but admire how composed and logical he was. He spoke about the situation rationally, emphasizing the importance of her choice and the potential benefits of their union. As Y/n looked at Jungkook, she couldn't help but notice the stark difference between them. He was a man driven by work and ambition, a world of logic and strategy, while she was a carefree girl whose heart raced just being in his presence. She began to wonder, had she already fallen for him? And if so, what did that mean for her heart, which had always been so carefree until now?
