She froze on the spot after hearing him. Was this any kind of joke, he was cracking? If so, then it was the worst existing joke ever.

YN : What the Fudge!! What nonsense are you speaking, Jeon Jungkook-

JK : It's not nonsense...

"Let's make a deal..."

"Be my Wife..."

Grabbing his collar, she looked at him furiously.

YN : It's not a FREAKING JOKE!!

JK : Control Your hands, Lee YN or It won't take much time for me to tie your hands and punish you badly... *his tone cold* and don't even think of this as a joke... I don't have free time to joke around, not especially with you... I am serious about it!!

He jerked her hands off him and walked towards the desk before opening a file and looked at her again.

"Here's the contract which states that 'You, Lee YN is going to marry me officially and be my Wife, for an entire year. Terms and Conditions Apply.' Your 365 Days of Life would be mine... You will have to follow each and every order of mine- " she cut him off

YN : NO WAY I AM DOING THIS!! YOU CAN'T JUST DRAG ME IN YOUR PROBLEMS, YOU FREAKING BASTARD-

JK : Watch your Mouth YN...!!! And I haven't dragged you in my problems. It was you who dragged yourself into my life. And now you're trapped. Don’t blame me!

YN : I WILL…!! YOU MADE MY LIFE A LIVING HELL FROM THE TIME YOU ENTERED IN MY LIFE!! I FUCKING HATE YOU!! YOU HEARD THAT?! I HATE YOU FREAK-

She flinched when he banged his fist on the desk angrily before grabbing her throat and pinned her to the desk.

"HOW MANY TIMES DO I NEED TO TELL YOU THAT DON'T DISRESPECT ME?? I JUST HATE IT!! WHY YOU ALWAYS LIKE TO TRIGGER ME, HUH!!" he roared.

"You, yourself put you in this situation..."

"And now you cannot back away!!"

"You'll have to become my Wife..."

"Either by hook or by crook!!"

"I swear..."

He repeated each and every word carefully with clearance so that she wouldn't forget.

Anger rushed throughout her body yet her eyes were filled with tears due to the pressure he was applying on her throat. It was the first time that she saw any emotion on his face and that was rage towards her, else he would just hide all his emotions behind that cold face of his. Just like a mystery, he would hide all the things well behind his emotionless face. How does he even do that? But she successfully succeeded in bringing anger to his face. And he hated her for that. But he did not have many options.

Her throat was dry and aching badly. She felt like choking, but no way was she going to plead to him to leave her. She forcefully tried to push him away and get out of his grip, but it didn't affect him at all. She kept hitting his chest yet this man did not even budge an inch. She was finally out of breath and choked harshly. Tears started to fall from her doe eyes.

"Just because, you pulled me out of that f*cking marriage..."

He gritted his teeth and finally released her from his grip. She immediately fell on the floor, holding her neck struggling for air.

He took the glass of water from his desk and sat in front of her with his folded knees and forwarded the water glass. What was he? The one moment he was literally choking her and another moment, offering water? This man was surely something.

She coughed. Her throat ached. But her being stubborn, would rather choose to die than accepting water from his hand. She turned her head to the other side in anger.

To control his anger, he closed his eyes. His grip tightened on the glass. No one... Literally no one rejected him the way this woman did. Is there any need for her, to get on his nerves? Only if she doesn't piss him off with that cocky attitude of hers. And the urge to fix that attitude of hers, forces him to go to any extent that he forgets his original self.

He grabbed her jaws harshly and made her gulp the whole glass of water in one go and then looked at her for some moments. She wiped her lips harshly releasing her anger on herself.

"Listen to me, YN... You started it first... But I will end this... Neither we have much options nor I have much time to waste on fighting with you..." he took the contract file and handed it to you, "Just read this file properly and sign it... You just have two days..."

"My decision won't change anyway, either its two days or two years..." she spoke in a firm voice.

JK : Fine then... Don't blame me, if I make your innocent father suffer!

YN : What do you mean?

JK : Your Father served Jeon Corp. for almost 15 years, Yes? Would you be able to see his honesty getting auctioned off, just because of you??

The vicious smirk formed on his lips. She hated it. Only she knows how badly she wants to wipe off that smirk.

YN : WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY??

JK : What if I file a case against him that he betrayed us?? He was spying on us on the orders of Our Rivals. He sell-off his honesty for some money-

YN : SHUT THE F*CK UP, BASTARD!! HOW MORE LOW WOULD YOU GET?? CAN'T BELIEVE A CHEAP PERSON LIKE YOU IS KNOWN AS MR. PERFECT... YOU'RE SUCH A DISGRACE ON THE NAME OF THAT!! YOU DON'T DESERVE THE TITLE JEON, BECAUSE YOU'RE A DISGRACE TO MR. JEON!! HOW GOOD PERSON YOUR FATHER IS, BUT YOU...YOU ARE THE WORST PERSON, I HAVE EVER SEEN AND I CAN EVER SEE!!

JK : You haven't seen my worst side yet... I can go to any extent to get what I want!! And I'm not someone who get injured due to the thorns in their way, I just throw them away from my way even before they can think of becoming any harm to me...

He brought his face closer to YN.

"That's the real me... Making Mistake is not my thing... I just erase the mistake and mistake makers... You're going to be my better half for one year, that's why I am warning you... You make mistake, and I'll make you suffer!!" he whispered against her skin giving goosebumps all over her body, but she maintained her firm face not letting him get any satisfaction.

"Just two days… and the first hour of the third day will be the destruction of your Life, I swear... Now, it's totally upto you... Good Luck!!" he patted her cheek and got up leaving her there with her messed up brain.

Would he really do it? He surely can. She can't just let her father get affected because of his dirty game. But how can she just accept this deal? Accepting this deal would be like entering the spider's crab. But does she have any option?

NO...

She was already trapped in between the devil and the deep blue sea.

If she rejects the deal, he will ruin her for sure, and if she accepts this deal, she'll have to follow this monster hiding behind the beautiful human, leaving her self-respect aside...

She held her head with both of her hands like it would burst anytime...

"F*(K YOU, JEON JUNGKOOK!!"

…………..

A tear skipped her eyes. Right now, she was sitting in her bedroom. Her hands were clutching the edge of the bed so tightly. She felt so vulnerable. Only if she'd considered Taehyung's warning. But no. She was too blind in anger to understand what impact would her actions make and now she's regretting. Regretting again for messing up with him.

"DAMN!!"

She screamed her lungs out to release her frustration over him but it was useless. Nothing can calm her right now. He threatened her. Once again. She knew he's a man of words. He proved it earlier. He made her regret her decisions before. And if he said he'll ruin her father's reputation and send him to jail, he'll surely do that. And only she can stop him but at what cost? Her 1 year of Life? Her Pride? Her Self Respect? She would have to follow his command whom she loathes. But does she have any other option? No.

Suddenly she got a call from her father. She wiped her tears and cleared her throat in order to not let them know what she is going through, right now. They are happy. And no way she'll be a thorn in between.

"Hello."

YnF : How are you daughter?

Yn : I'm good. How are two doing?

YnM : We're fine but seems like you're not fine. Why is your voice hoarse? Did you cried? Are you even alright, Yn??

Yn : No. I'm fine Mom. It's just I caught a little cold.

YnF : What? When? Why? Did you take the medicine??

Yn : Dad! I'm old enough to take care of myself. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine soon. Mmh? You're there to enjoy your vacation. So enjoy fully.

YnF : I can see how you are taking care of yourself. And how can we enjoy when you're sick?

She gulped the entire glass of water.

Yn : I ate medicine. Fine now?

YnM : Fine. But take care of yourself baby.

Yn just hummed with a lot of thoughts filled in her head.

Yn : Okay. I'll cut the call now. I'm going to rest. Bye.

YnF : Rest well. We'll call you later.

Yn cut the call and sighed heavily. Then only she received the call from Taehyung.

Taehyung : Yahh!! Where were you, Lee Yn?? Why weren't you picked up my calls?? Why are you silent?? Speak up already!!

Yn : I'm marrying Jeon Jungkook…

Taehyung : Okay but that's not the answer to my questions- wait WHAT???!!! THE HELL ARE YOU SPEAKING?? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND ALREADY???!!

She literally dropped a bombshell.

Yn : Can we just meet up??

Taehyung : hmh! I'm coming there.

Yn : Okay.

She hung up the call.

Half an hour later...

He placed the two cups of tea on the table before extending a cup of tea towards her. She took it and he picked another one for himself.

Taehyung : Now tell me what's the issue??

She told him everything.

Taehyung : The hell.

Yn : I'm sorry for not listening to you. *tear up* I always lose my temper and do something that I regret later.

Taehyung : What happened has happened, Yn. Stop blaming yourself and think about what to do next. Mmh?

She nodded.

“So... You'll marry him??”

Yn : Do I have another option?

He sighed.

Taehyung : This Jeon Jungkook is really getting on my nerves now. Jerk. *Scoff* but now it's enough. He wants you to be his wife for the next one year, right?! *She frowned* Then it's time to show him that he made a huge mistake by marrying you. Make him regret marrying you. *smirk* Make his life hell in this one year, the way he did to you.

He fueled the anger inside her, boosting her confidence. And now she was determined. If he wants to marry her, then she will. And take the revenge. He did enough with her. Now it's her time.

But, will things go according to her?? If Yn is fire then he is a huge iceberg. He can ruin her the moment she tries to fight with him. Or will this fire melt that iceberg??

………….

The next day

At Jungkook's Office.

Jk : Mina, I want the files of all the models to be sent for Calvin Klein.

Mina : Sure, Mr. Jeon.

*She bowed and was about to leave but she received a call to which she answered. A frown appeared on her face as she heard the another person. She looked at Jungkook who was busy on the laptop*

Mina : Wait…

She kept the call on hold.

"Lee Yn has come and she wants to meet you" she hesitatingly said.

Jk : Send her.

He said casually without diverting his eyes from the laptop to which Mina nodded and left.

A few minutes later, Yn entered the cabin with a straight face. Jungkook finally looked up at her with a proud winning look as if he knew what she was there for and the result will be under his favour.

Jk : Sit.

She followed his command.

"Here is the file... Complete the procedure."

He extended the original documents of the contract without breaking eye-contact. He was ready with everything.

Yn : I'm here, just for a talk. I ain't signing it now.

A sign of confusion appeared on his face but he maintained his cold face. Yn sighed deeply before speaking.

"Since you've left me with no choice... Look, things don't go like this Jeon Jungkook. You're not asking for chocolate. It's about a whole damn year of my life. I'll have to live with you while pretending to be your wife for the entire year. Do you think it's that easy? Everyone knows how we are in terms. People would easily find out that our relationship is completely fake. We always fought whenever we met and now we're in a sudden marriage? How odd does it even sound, let alone believing? And what am I going to say to my parents? Why do Jeon Jungkook want to marry me out of the blue?? How do you think they are going to react if they came to know that we're getting into a marriage?? And especially when you kicked my Dad out of his job and then you threatened him to stop me that day from ruining your image in public. It might not be your concern but mine is."

You kept your points in front of him.

Jungkook's jaws clenched when he remembered the scenarios of the day. But he tried to stay calm.

Jk : Say it clearly.

Yn : If you want to show our marriage genuine, ask for forgiveness from my father and come to my house with a marriage proposal with a good reason.

He couldn't hold the scoff.

Jk : What do you take me as? People beg me for a chance and you think I'll do that to someone?! Not even in your dreams!

Yn : My father is not 'Someone', for your kind information. He can be your Father-in-law, in future, if you're not forgetting about the contract you asked me to sign. You want me to pretend to be your ideal Wife, then you need to pretend to be a good husband, a good son-in-law as well. I said what I had to. Now the choice is yours. I'll sign the papers but before that you need to clear all the hurdles in our way. Here's my number.

Yn kept a paper on the desk, right in front of him, in which her number was written.

“Call me if you're ready with the conditions I highlighted about.”

Saying that she left the room, leaving a worked up Jungkook.

Jk : Damn! This woman is really getting on my nerves.

With a heavy scoff, he rubbed his head with fingers. He was frustrated. No one. Literally no one has the guts to talk to him in a mannerless way and then there's this crazy woman, who's asking him to lower his pride in front of his ex-employee? What does she even take him as??

...................

*Time Skip to Evening*

Hearing the continuous bell rings, Yn whined. She slept a few moments ago and someone is already there to disturb her as if Jeon Jungkook wasn't enough for disturbing her entire existence. She frustratingly got up from the bed and went to open the door only to find a man in black shirt and grey pant was standing with a box in his hand. Then she remembered that she saw this man in Jungkook's office.

Man : Hello Ms. Lee, I'm Alan, Mr. Jeon's Manager. He sent this box for you.

He extended the box. Yn looked at the box and then at Alan. She took a moment to think and received the box. Alan bowed with a smile and left. He felt a nice person. But that's not her concern. His boss is a blunder. What's with this box now? She closed the door and went inside.

Putting the box on the bed, she opened it only to find a beautiful black dress.

Yn : I must say, he does have a good choice of clothing. *she muttered while looking at the dress* But why did he send it here??

She searched for any clue and there it was. An envelope. Maybe an invitation envelope. She furrowed and quickly opened it and she was right. It was an invitation. He invited her to the bachelor's party, he's throwing tonight. But why the hell does he want her to attend the party? There was a letter in that envelope as well written.

"Wear this dress and come to the address written over the card. I've something to talk about your CONDITIONS you kept in front of me… You better not avoid my words or I'll have to come to your house itself and I'm sure, my arrival won't please you at all."

She sighed. Frustrated. What does he think of himself? Warning, even in the letter? She cursed him and went to the washroom to change since he didn't leave another option for her.

Time Skip

Looking at the venue, Yn couldn't hold the amusement on her face. She was admiring the place not until she bumped into a piller. She rubbed her head and looked up. Oh. It wasn't a pillar but Jeon Jungkook. His cold gaze fixed at her. She looked at him from head to toe. He was wearing all black from head to toe. A black high-neck, black pants and black shoes. His black hair wonderfully set with a few locks falling on his forehead. His broad forehead on display. His high-bridge nose. His Plumpy lips and damn that mole beneath. The tattoos that peaked from his long sleeved t-shirt. Everything about him seemed so perfect. She couldn't help but stare at him, completely mesmerized by his beauty. Never in her dumbest dream did she think that she'd find him so astonishing. So handsome. She won't lie. He looked like a Greek God.

Jk : Done staring?

He snapped the fingers. Her eyes widened. She quickly looked away and finally gulped the lump of her throat which she was holding for so long. God! She even forgot to breathe. What's with this new feeling now? He's the person she hates the most, isn't it? And she was staring at him like no tomorrow. Was it because, he's going to marry her? She tried to shrug every thought of his out of her head as if it was a matter of a snap.

Yn : W-What is it that you can't wait for tomorrow to talk about??

Jk : Follow me.

He walked inside casually leaving her alone there. She looked at him disbelief. He really lacks basic manners. She scoffed and followed him.

He walked straight to the drink corner and sat on the chair and gestured to her to sit beside him but she sat two chairs away from him. He looked at the gap and then at her with his famous expressionless eyes. He extended the drink towards her.

Yn : I don't drink.

Jk : I know. It's not a drink but juice.

She raised her eyebrows.

Yn : And how'd you know that?

Jk : Seeking information about someone isn't a big deal for me. I guess you know that.

She glared and cursed him in her mind. She then looked around, only to find the guests enjoying the party to fullest. But what she didn't know was a pair of eyes fixed at her. More specifically, Glaring. Yn grabbed the glass and drank the juice in one go and kept it back on the table and wiped her lips.

Yn : Would you tell me already what it is?

He didn't say anything. Instead he looked at the other side ignoring her question.

Jk : You look good in this outfit. Unlike your usual dresses.

He was wasting time, she was sure. But why? He's not someone to waste his time and appreciate someone's beauty especially when it's her? He's someone who only talks to people who can be of his use. He's a straight forward person yet he's completely baffled up. Yn can't deny that. He does everything on a purpose and this has to be too.

Yn : I don't have time to waste. Just say the point already, Jeon-

She suddenly felt dizzy. She held her head and blinked lazily trying to clear her blurry vision. She tried to get up but lost her balance and was about to fall but he was fast enough to catch her. His hands wrapped around her waist and gaze fixed at her. At this moment, she knew he did it.

"W-Why?!" She asked with her trembling lips.

"You wanted me to give a strong and genuine reason to everyone for marrying you, in order to make it look unsuspicious." He murmured and pulled her in the room which was nearby without coming in anyone's eyes. And she could now assume what's next. She tried to push him away but guess what she was so weak right now.

Jk : You'd never allow me to do it, in your conscious state. That's why I came up with this.

Yn : No. Please. Don't do this. I assure you, I'll manage things but not this way. Let me go, please.

*She tried to go but he held her shoulders*

Jk : You can't... This is the only way, I could think of to make everyone believe the reason for our sudden marriage. You wanted this. And we're doing it.

He picked her up in his arms and slowly placed her on the bed.

"You can't stop me now, Yn..."
