"Outside the house you should always on my side." I stated. "not physically, you know what I mean"

"mm, I got it" The man glanced up, as if he waiting for more, but realised the other has finished his talk.

"...is that it?" he pondered.

I strode to the marble table in the centre of the room, leaned my body and faced the man sitting on the sofa.

I sneered while folding my arms, "It is not just, it's that it," stressing my word while repeating his question, "it means, whatever happen outside, you, Jeon Jungkook, should always defend me, Park Jimin. Even if you are harmed or in disadvantage situation. Whether I wrong or right. or even when your lovers or whoever you cherish are involved. You have, without a doubt, to take my side."

A hesitant look crossed the other. Jungkook silent, looking on the tiles with his brain rotating.

Me too has expected this, impossible this free soul thug will agree. I have been thinking profusely to come up with this idea. If not because that ridiculous proposal to marry the Jeon empire youngest grandson.

Behind the door, father without hesitant forced me to quickly agree, but still at least remember to hold his dignity by saying to them he will let his son decide. Jeon song, the president of Jeon empire, was nodded and apologized of the abrupt proposal. I was in scatterbrained, gladly can uttered that I will think about it, and only maintained gentle smile for the rest banquet.

While this brat, not even in sight. Later that night after I back to my place, he standing in front my hotel room. Then forthwith asking let's just get married.

Jeon Song was frustrated, since the image of his last son has ruin in public the only way he can come up with is to partner him with someone with a great image. Even if Jungkook can not change, at least when he is mention there will still a good part on it aside his handsome feature. That unfortunate person happened to be Park Jimin. He was the model heir with elegance beauty, well-educated, and impeccably mannered. A son who kids look up to while elderly adore, including Jeon Song. The desire was strong, as a businessman who like to reach his goal, he has to find a way. He threatened his son to make sure he can marry Jimin or else he lost every penny from his pocket and say goodbye to his inheritance. Although he is the spoiled youngest member, the elderly of the family also agreed with Jeon Song idea.

Now, it brought to this situation. Jungkook asked to marry him and promised to provide whatever he need and want. Indeed, even Jungkook is not actively inside the Jeon empire, an in the other side Jimin running under his father business, he still far from reach. We already know each other since college, the business world is big yet small, so at least they are not stranger. Moreover, with Jungkook uninhibited personality, he acted just like they were close and enter my place at will. He even just casually asked what kind of wedding I want before asking to marry...

I was flabbergasted, but quickly regained my composure. Not even questioning how Jungkook know where he lives.

Do I hate Jeon Jungkook?

Sadly... it's the opposite. I, genuinely, very at that, like him. From the first I saw him on a cliché situation, when Jungkook successfully shooting a three point basket ball in Faculty Competition. He still vividly remembers, Jungkook with his undercut striking his face feature, his jersey dampened because the sweat carved his muscles perfectly. And before I was aware of it, my eyes like many others only followed him in the entire match.

However...

Marrying crush and ruining romance life completely is different. Jeon Jungkook, who also popular as the top player... either womanizer or manizer. The young man who never serious about his love partner not supposed to end with Jimin who thinking very thoroughly. He doesn't want to end up with a philanthropist.

Although he unable to feel anything with another person, yet fluttered when heard only his name, he still does not wish to marrying Jeon Jungkook. All this time, for almost 6 years, he has been keeping a blind eye to avoid seeing Jeon Jungkook changing partners. Keeping his heart safe from broken by not expecting much and try to move on. He used every mean to avoid any event which Jungkook took his partner.

If they get married, they will life in the same roof. What the possibility Jungkook will bring partner than he not? How can he, Park Jimin, endure that... it will be a living hell.

I sighed, I can't outwardly reject it, not with his father persistence coercion, but at least now Jungkook will cancel it. No way he will agree to my condition, what if I kick her lover out the house will he take my side? Or argue with his father? Heh, imp-

"okay."

...!

"I will tell father you agree and schedule a meeting to set the date and"

"WAIT! Shut your mouth!" I shouted without thinking almost seeing the image of me in pity before my eyes. "no, I mean what do you mean okay? You agree to it? Do you even understand what it mean Jeon Jungkook??"

"yes." He said with calm determination, "you want me to take your side in whatever situation, right? Fine, I accept the condition."

"What do you mean you accept?! You"

Jungkook tilted his head confuse, "You don't want to get married? If so, just say it, I will tell my father."

"n-no." I struggled to keep my composure. Of course I don't want to, but I can't say it outwardly!

"I mean, what if I slap your lover without reason, will you take my side?"

He looked confuse but nodded, "yes."

"even if I use your favourite car without saying and get accident somewhere?"

He shrugged, "yes" but then think again, "I can assign a driver for your safety tho."

I thunderstruck, whoever said Jungkook love his car more than his life, may you never find peace on your life after lying!

"even if I confront someone who complement you and argue that you are an asshole?"

"excus-," Jungkook scrutinized, but then sighed, "that a bit infuriating, but yes."

I feel pressured, clenching my fist, "even if I rob a bank, burn a building, or I sell your company secret?"

"yes, yes, that's very unlikely but yes." Jungkook said resolutely.

Shit...

I stared at him, petrified. Like I'm looking on the final boss from action RPG.

"it settled now, right?"

My mind can not find any other excuse, I lost...

"if you have more 'even if', just say it in altar, it sounds like a vow already." He chuckled, then look at the watch on his wrist. "I will back now and contact you later"

Jungkook raised from the seat and walked to the foyer leaving me who still need to grasp the situation. But then I heard another chuckle, Jungkook turned his head with a grin carve on him.

"Anyway, I don't think you able to do any of your even if."

Indeed, I can't. but hearing his laugh ignite my rage.

I retorted, "you never know, I can accidentally drunk driving and hit a president"

He raised an eyebrow, "possible." He nodded, then smiled, "yes." And leave just like that.

Yes what? Yes to taking my side even I crash a president while drunk? Is he just want to be a criminal?!

I controlled my breath that I not realise I hold.
