In the end we are all just clouds wandering around without fighting off the winds.

"Where are you taking me Jungkook?", she asked, completely dumbfounded at his actions. He buckled her seatbelt and didn't answer her question. She noticed that he was sweating profusely, as he started the car. 

"Jungkook, are you okay?", she asked and he stayed silent. She got frustrated at his silent self and unbuckled her seatbelt. He looked at her and shot a glare, anticipating what she is about to do.

"Don't you dare do it, Hana. I put it on parental lock", he spoke making her groan in annoyance.

"Jungkook, what the hell are you doing? You just can't drive me anywhere you wish. At least tell me where you are taking me", she bemoaned and he sighed.

"I am taking you somewhere important. Don't worry, I am not kidnapping you nor am I taking you far away. You will see it all by yourself when you reach there", he spoke in a calm tone though his heartbeat is telling her, the otherwise.

She stayed in silence as he let out those words and looked at the road ahead through the glass windshield. After that night, neither of them spoke a word. They had several glances towards each and their eyes spoke a million words but nothing happened in real. She thought it was for her best since she doesn't want to face Jungkook. She is scared as she knows she would fall weak seeing him, unquestionably.

Baekhyun visited regularly since then and sometimes, talked to Hana to rethink her decision over the marriage. Just like every time, she denied telling him that she is okay and will take time to adjust. Kyunghee ignored her and didn't even speak a word to her. She has been doing that for a week till now. She is pissed at her sister being so ignorant towards Jungkook and herself.

The sudden halt of the car snapped her out of the thoughts and she looked at the unfamiliar building. He removed the child lock and she got out of the car examining the building. He let out a breath and held her hand, grabbing her, yet again not giving any heed to her words.

"Mr. Jeon", an elderly man greeted him and he smiled in return. Hana stopped speaking looking at the man in a black suit.

"Mr. Hyun", he greeted him with a handshake and the man gestured them to be seated.

"Is she the one?", Mr. Hyun asked with a change of expression on his face and Jungkook nodded, without giving a glance to either of them. 

"I have documented the papers and did as you told me. If you sign this, I will handle the rest in the Lawyer's office", he spoke and Jungkook nodded. Hana's face was blank, not able to comprehend a thing happening around her.

"Thank you, Mr. Hyun. If you could leave us now in privacy, I will have a talk with the Miss", Jungkook sounded stern and the man understood the seriousness in his tone. He very well knows what is happening so he didn't feel a need to be present amidst the foreboding plight.

"Jungkook, why are we at a lawyer's residence? Is there something wrong going on?", she asked concerned and he shook his head in negation.

"I am sorry it had to go like this way Hana, but I don't have an option just like you don't possess one", he spoke making her utterly confused though a little fear crept inside her in the anticipation of impending doom.

"Here are the two papers. I give you two choices Hana", he started and she looked at his hands shivering.

"What if I don't want to choose anyone?", she spoke trying to get herself more options.

"I did say that I don't have other options just like you Hana. You either choose one or I will have to choose one", he spoke in an eerily calm tone sending shivers down her spine. 

"What are you speaking, Jungkook? Don't tell me you are doing something so unlikely of you. Please don't speak anything stupid Jungkook", she spoke holding his sweaty hand and he shoved her away with a lesser force.

"You didn't give me a choice, Hana. Now I am helpless to do this. You have two choices, Hana. One, Marry me", he asserted his words and she was thunderstruck already. She knew something like this would happen but didn't expect him to be ready with documents and put her in a situation like this.

"What is the second option?", she asked completely shrugging the first choice and he smirked. 

"I am going to cancel the contract with your father and liquidate all the assets. Do you know how much your father invested in the current project?", he voiced out and she widened her eyes.

"You are not going to do that, Jungkook. You just can't do that. My father trusts you", she sputtered still in disbelief at his cretinous choices. 

"I can do anything, darling. Your father trusts me, I know but I trusted you too. Didn't you break it? You don't have the right to question my etiquette when you, yourself don't follow. By the way, where am I?", he thought for a moment and her eyes started glistening already.

"The amount invested by your father equal to all his assets available and if I close the contract, it could liquidate everything. Each and every asset of your father's years of hard work would just turn into nothing in a second", he spoke in a threatening tone and she looked at him in disgust.

"What the hell Jungkook? I never thought you would stoop so low. My father treated you so nice and you are being a dickhead behind him", she scoffed at him and got up to leave but he held her wrist, pulling her back with a greater impulse.

"You can't escape from this, Hana. The moment you step out of this place, I am going to sign everything and the documents would reach your father's office. I don't think you would like to disappoint your father, Miss Do", he spoke tightening his grip over her hands and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Please don't do this Jungkook, didn't we compromise? Please don't be like this. Just let me go", she pleaded and he let out a chuckle.

"Compromised? I could never compromise when it comes to you, Hana. You still have another choice, Hana. Think carefully. I can't give you much time, the lawyer can't wait for a lifetime. Marry me or Marry Baekhyun, but if you choose him, I have no choice but liquidate the contract.", he left her wrist and sat down, crossing his legs waiting for her decision. 

She sat down and held her head trying to process everything. She could feel her heart pounding and the air around her, just as cold as her blood.  She glanced at him, who maintained a neutral expression on his face and had had her gaze at the documents in front of her. 

Marriage contract and the other one is the deal with her father. She knew when an MNC like Kim Corp set up a deal, large investments take place and the favors are always on the side of the powerful. She didn't expect him to take the advantage of the situation. She never thought he would be so condescending.

"Jungkook please", she begged whilst her sobs and he didn't look at her. It was tough for him too. Seeing tears in her eyes is not what he wants but he doesn't want her to destroy her life for the happiness of her father.

"I am not having time, Hana.", he spoke carrying no emotion, displaying a rigid face. Her body was numb, mind swirling with the absurd choices he had given her. For the infinite time, she prayed that he doesn't mean any of this but he has not given any hope of escaping the pernicious trap.

"Please", she begged him again and he got up suddenly, resulting her to flinch. He held her wrist and made her get up. Placing the pen on her hands, he directed her towards the papers.

"Choose one of them, Hana. You have a minute", he spoke in a menacing tone causing her chills down her body in the silent environment around them. Her hand shivered to hold the pen and she looked down. Helplessness would be an understatement to describe her state of mind at the moment.

"Why are you being like this Jungkook? Why are you doing this to me?", she asked breaking down in the misery. All her life, the last thing she wants is to go in the bad books of her father. She even sacrificed her own happiness for her father and now she is in a situation where she had to choose an option that would kill his reputation and leave a black mark on her. The saddest part is both of them would result in the same, distance her father from her to a length that she could not reach him again.

"10 seconds more Hana and I will not hesitate to sign the papers", he alarmed her and she cried out. Ten seconds ticked and he grabbed the pen from her to sign on the documents.

"I will", she muttered

"I will marry you", she blurted in a broken tone and he stopped from what he is doing.

"I will marry you, don't do anything that would affect his company", she spoke and took the pen from him. A tear dropped on the paper and she signed them, before taking a deep breath. He signed the papers as well and took the file in his hands.

 She looked lifeless and had no emotion on her face, guilt, and sorrow gushing her heart like a storm. His heart ached to see her like that but he could do nothing himself. He very well knows that he is the sole reason behind her bland self.

"Go and sit in the car. I will come to you in a few minutes", he spoke and she started walking away. He held her hand and she looked at him, her face void of any emotion.

"Don't run away", he spoke in a tone filled with fear and she nodded.

"I won't. I will do as you wish just like how I married you a minute ago", she spoke and left from the room. He took a sigh and wiped the lone tear on his face.

"Yah pabo, Are you crying now? Thank God, you didn't cry in front of her", Taehyung spoke on the other side from his AirPods and Jungkook let out his sobs. 

"Yah Yah Yah, Don't cry idiot. Oh My God! What would have happened if I wasn't on call? You would have just become weak to her tears and let go of her. Jungkookie, grow up. Be happy, Hana is your wife now", Taehyung spoke trying to console his friend.

A day ago

"Kyunghee, what's the matter?", Jungkook asked as soon as they entered her room. She released him and Taehyung was already sitting there scrolling down his phone.

"What's the matter huh? Don't you know what's the matter?", she spat at him crossing her arms and Taehyung looked completely normal. Jungkook looked at her in bewilderment and she slapped his arm, making him yelp in pain.

"What are you doing, Kyunghee? What's wrong with you?", he asked completely in disbelief with her behavior and she let out a chuckle.

"What's wrong with you, Jungkook? Are you seriously letting go of her? Are you letting go of my sister?", she scoffed at him and he understood what she is speaking. He looked at the ground and nodded lightly.

"Oh My God! Where did that stubborn Jungkook go? The one who would do anything to get what he wants. Where did that dickhead disappear?", she baffled and he let out a fake smile.

"He is dead, burnt in her love", he answered and she facepalmed herself. Taehyung got up to control the situation before Kyunghee could lose control over her temper. She was never angry and basically the soft type. But seeing the situation of the house and her sister, she is completely mad, mad at both Hana and Jungkook.

"Are you seriously for real Jungkook? I thought you were smart when you stepped into Hana's life again. I thought you are waiting for the right time but I was wrong. You are being a dumbass. Do you think you can live without her? Life gives chance and you are just letting them go", he spoke trying to feed some sense in his friend's mind.

"What do you want me to do?", Jungkook asked, holding his head. Hana doesn't even give a chance for him to enter her life and convincing Mr. Do was a great failure. 

"Do something different from what you are doing now", Taehyung stated and Jungkook looked at him, perplexed.

"Something other than persuading and pleading her", Kyunghee spoke and he was more confused than before.

"Do you want me to threaten her?", he asked in a tone of sarcasm and the couple looked at each other.

"Exactly", they both spoke in unison and Jungkook's eyes widened. He just blurted it out, not meaning any of the words.

"What are you speaking Kyunghee ah? How do I threaten her? Are you out of mind?", he asked, dumbfounded at their stupid way of decision making.

"Threaten that you will kill me or eomoni", Kyunghee spoke and Taehyung smacked on her head. I wanted to do the same thing, knock some sense in her head, Jungkook thought to himself 

"She would never believe that he would kill any of them. Think of something else", Taehyung mouthed and she pressed her lips into a thin line. Jungkook was seriously stupefied at their idea. Threatening her is not something he wanted to do.

"Then just tell that you would do something with the contract you are holding with my father. You are the maximum shareholder right?", she asked and he nodded.

"Perfect! Threaten her that you wash away all my father's investments if she doesn't marry you", she spoke squealing and Jungkook looked at her in dubiety. 

"The last thing I want to do is threaten her", he spoke firmly and Kyunghee slapped his arm.

"Don't be a dumbass Jungkook, The last thing you should want is her marrying Baekhyun Oppa. Are you okay if they live in the same house, go on dates and sleep on the same bed?", she asked and he shook his head vigorously in negation. He could never imagine that, not even in his dreams.

"Then you have no choice Jungkook. You need to do that way to marry Eonni and make her happy. Perhaps, she would be angry at you. But how many days? She can't be mad at you for a lifetime", she stated, making him lost in thoughts.

"Jungkookie, this is the best one and Kyunghee finally came up with something sensible. Don't let go of the opportunity in hand, Jungkook. Don't let go of Hana", he spoke and Jungkook fiddled with his fingers.

"See, if you don't want to use the chance, leave it. Eonnie will get married to Baekhyun Oppa and he will treat her nicely. Let's go Taehyung, when he doesn't want a together with her, we can't help", saying this she pulled Taehyung.

"Wait!", Jungkook stopped them, reconsidering their idea.

"We will have another person involved"

Present

"Yah Jungkookie, stop crying now and give those papers to the lawyer now. Just stop crying now", Taehyung chided on the other side and Jungkook wiped his tears. Composing himself, he handed the files to the lawyer and the other man didn't speak anything.

"You can register for your marriage certificate later", the lawyer informed and Jungkook nodded. He walked to the car and saw her holding head through the glass window. He knew she is sobbing. 

Upon seeing him, she wiped her tears and looked to the other side. He got into the car and didn't speak anything. He started the car and she didn't even ask where he is taking. She is so dead inside to even notice that they landed in her house. 

Jungkook opened the car door for her and she got down ignoring his hand. She just followed him and they reached the door.

"Jungkook", Mr. Do looked surprised at him together with her daughter at night. He thought she was with Baekhyun. Mr. Byun was also present, but he had a calmer expression compared to the other man.

Hana looked pathetic, her hair stuck onto her puffed face, eyes swollen red, and with a bland expression. Jungkook held her hand and she just looked at the ground. She knows what will happen next.

"What the hell?", Mr. Do scoffed looking at Jungkook holding his daughter's hand right in front of Mr. Byun.

"Just leave my daughter", he ordered and they remained in the same position.

"Hana, just come here. Do you even realize what you are doing?", Mr. Do spoke fuming in anger and yet, Hana didn't move an inch. Mr. Do walked to her and raised his hand in anger. Jungkook caught it on time and gave him a fiery stare.

"Don't you dare lay a finger on my wife"
