《Rebellious Spouse {T.K}》Chapter - 6
Advertisement
A month passed by within a blink of an eye. In these days, the jeons were invited to kims mansion and jungkook got the chance to meet taehyung again.
Although, they didn't get the privilege to talk privately because apparently, kims had an orthodox mentality and they didn't want to let the soon to be husbands alone. What if some inappropriate things happen?
They just exchanged few normal words of how life is going, when they were siting beside each other in the living room or in the dinner table.
The Jeons suggested for the soon to be husbands to share the numbers but the kims denied that too, saying what if they get into argument which might led to bigger consequences. Kids now a days are so ignorant so they didn't wanna take a risk and convinced the jeons to accepted their decision.
Finally, it was the engagement day.
Yejin and shinhye did all the arrangements. Now too jeons suggested to ask the couple about their preference but Yejin denied saying what will they say about wedding arrangements, it should be done by elders.
Though the jeons agreed but shinhye secretly asked for jungkook's preferences and did as he wanted her to do.
Where as Yejin didn't even bother to ask taehyung saying she knows what taehyung wants or like.. Well does she?
Anyway, taehyung doesn't have any problem with it as long as he was marrying jungkook. Yeah! He really wanted to marry the pretty ravenette, so does jungkook.
The arrangements were nothing out of usual. The same typical expensive grand decorations. They booked a resort and decorated the garden beautifully. The only difference is the theme was in black which shinhye suggested as per jungkook's preference and Yejin agreed as it would be unique.
The news of two most reputed families being one by marrying their younger sons, spread like wild fire.
Many people were disappointed because they wanted to marry their own children with any one of them and many were happy saying they look like a perfect match, not only on the basis of financial or social status but also as a couple.

Taehyung wore a black tuxedo with white button up which also his mother chose, his natural make up and hair was perfectly done adding more to his handsomeness. Well credit goes to Taeri who appointed the best stylist for her brother.
The kims were the first to reach the venue. Their clothes, jewelry, in fact their whole appearance screams money.
Then the Jeons arrived looking equally stunning. And jungkook's look left everyone's mouth to hang wide open.
The reaction of people satisfied the kims who had a proud expression seeing their son-in-law.
Jungkook wore a beautiful black ball gown that Yejin chose for him and was gifted by her. Everything jungkook wore was given by the kims, from his jewelry to even his lingerie, everything.
Some might think it's show off but it's one of the rule Kims followed since ancestors. They provide everything to the new to-be bride/groom in every marriage ceremony.
Though, jungkook wanted to choose his own but at least he was glad it was in black and not that bad for his liking.
The families greeted each other. They introduced the grooms to their relatives and other friends and close business partners.
Then Taehyung and jungkook was led towards the beautifully decorated isle to complete the ring ceremony.
Yoongi gave the ring to jungkook who took it with a heavy sigh before turning towards the taller male and sliding it in taehyung's ring finger.
Taeri gave the ring to Taehyung who held jungkook soft small hands in his bigger and slightly rough ones, which was trembling and shaking a little before sliding the ring on the slender ring finger of the younger.
Jungkook hands looked so good and perfect in taehyung's that the older couldn't take his eyes off them. He wanted to kiss it lovingly but knowing his parents conservative mentality, public display of affection is considered as disrespectful.
First encounter is a different matter the soft kiss on the knuckles is a way to show respect. But now it's different, if taehyung kiss jungkook's knuckles now it will be a sign of affection which should be done behind the doors.

The newly engaged couple was sitting on the family table beside each other. Many couples were dancing except for kims of course.
Jungkook was so bored and at least wanted to get some drink but the kims had anothe rule. Drinking is prohibited and limited to expensive champagne only.
When people gets drunk they loose their self control and kims has a reputation. They couldn't afford to have a scandal of any of their family members going berserk or doing insane stuffs because then media wouldn't loose the chance to stretch the news like chewing gum and add numerous spices in it.
Thus, he was sipping on the fancy drink elegantly as if he doesn't want to just gulp down the whole bottle of bear or any strong drink. He had a high tolerance so it doesn't matter to him.
"How are you?", jungkook asked lowly just for his fiance's ears. The melodic voice snapped taehyung out of his dazed stated who was lost thinking something.
"Good.. What about you?", he questioned further lowly but it was still deep as oceans.
Jungkook thought he has a thing for deep voice because whenever he talked to taehyung, his deep soothing voice do some funny things to his heart and stomach.
"Good", jungkook replied shortly before sipping his drink.
"How is life?", taehyung asked to continue the conversation.
"Smooth, if we ignore the fact that I am getting married after literally two months", jungkook humoured chuckling.
"Do you regret?", taehyung asked with furrowed brows, his voice was slightly shaky because he didn't want to hear the answer his mind was telling him.
"Time will say whether I have any or not", jungkook gave a tight lipped smile at the older who had an blank expression on his face but nodded anyway.
Taehyung couldn't ask anything further nor did jungkook. Both got busy in their own thoughts.
Jungkook kept the empty glass and was about to grab another one. The action was noticed by Somin who smirked getting the chance to mock jungkook.
"Jungkookie.. Wasn't that your forth glass?", Somin said faking a worried frown in her forehead.
"Uh! I don't know.. Were you counting?", jungkook's voice was polite and soft but the phrase was anything but polite.
Somin was taken aback because she thought jungkook would be embarrassed.
Taeri smirked hearing the answer jungkook gave because she herself don't like Somin but didn't say anything. She is someone who would observe everything quietly and speak at the correct time. And knows how to pour oil in fire very well.
"No I was just worried.. You shouldn't drink that much it might effect your health", she quickly made up a reason.
"This is non-alcoholic champagne, noona", jungkook said as a matter of fact.
And this made Somin embarrassed because she didn't new that fact.
"Somin dear... Let him drink what he likes because i'm sure he knows his limits....also the drinks here are non-alcoholic", Yejin said smiling at her daughter-in-law but that smile clearly say how irritated she was.
She doesn't want to create a negative image in front of the jeons. And mocking jungkook even before marriage can led to many unwanted drama which the kims couldn't afford to have. It will also effect their reputation.
Yejin of course knows how somin is and clearly knows her dislike for jungkook.
The older lady was anyway bitter with her because somin tried to convince and manipulate her to change her decision and choose the girl somin preferred for taehyung. It really infuriated yejin because clearly it's disobeying her decision.
They had a drama because of this reason which ended with Jongin scolding Somin in front of everyone because she tried to meddle in his parent's decision. Somin had to apologize to his parents properly.
"Sorry I didn't know..i was just worried for him", somin said and diverted her attention to a tired whining jungmin. And the rest of the family got themselves busy with their own thing.
The rest of ceremony went smoothly and ended near midnight, the guest and families return back to their respective home after bidding good bye to each other.

A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.
8 106A Dungeon Tested
Its a hard life balancing all the things a successful dungeon should be doing. Will our newest addition to the dungeon race even survive let alone make it to the top where dungeons such as the megafauna roam? Or will our main character suffer in the dust till some inauspicious and ignoble death at the end of some F-rankers sword? Note this is me having some fun while I wait for new releases of dungeon stories. Feel free to comment on that basis. I will be keeping the first few chapters slow so as to give me plenty to build upon later. I have tentatively given this the gore tag for now. With that in mind "Let the games begin".

8 185I Saved Worlds By Being... Nice?
Elena stumbled upon a game one day. It had positive reviews, and a lot of downloads, so she decided she'd play it. It's storyline was interesting too. Three worlds whose fates she could control. Three people whose lives she could make better. She played it diligently, dedicating all her free time to it. When the game finally ended, though... The three game characters she helped with great devotion stood in front of her. "I still remember the first time you gave me soup!" "I still remember the first time you gave me a cultivator's dead body!" "I still remember the first time you killed a knig- Oh wait, never mind, I was the one who did that." ....What?
