《Engaged to the Bad Boy's Brother✔》SEVENTEEN
Advertisement
Jinyoung stood in front of you awkwardly as you sat by the dressing table. His hair was slicked back but he was wearing a plain t-shirt and jeans. You looked up at him and he was staring at the ground.
"I understand if you don't want to marry me anymore." You muttered, catching his attention. He snaps his head up and shakes it immediately.
"N-no I do but... Do you?" He eyes you warily.
"I-I'm not sure." You bite your lip and pick on your fingers. "I would've been fine with it if we had more time to get to know each other but..."
Your eyes go towards the letter on the dressing table. Jinyoung follows your gaze and he frowns.
"You love Jungkook."
"I do... I'm sorry, I thought that if I married you I would be able to forget him and move on." You felt tears pricking your eyes. "I truly was really really slowly but I heard everything your mother told you last night. If I married you I would feel used, my family would suffer loss. I don't want that to happen, I don't want to feel that way."
"I understand." Jinyoung nods his head. "If only I found this out earlier then I would've found a way to break the contract."
"What even happens if we break the contract?" You were curious, you never really read it over before signing now you face consequences.
"The family who breaks the contract needs to pay 20 million."
"20?! Your parents really are crazy. It's a marriage contract."
"If it was broken they would suffer a greater loss since us being married means that they can get help from your parents any time and they'll take more than just 20 million like the devils they are."
"I never knew that you could talk about your parents like that." You grinned and he laughs.
"Well after seeing what they've done I don't exactly want to call them my parents." Jinyoung scratches the back of his neck and thinks for a moment. "How about I break the engagement with you?"

"Then your family will suffer loss." You say it in a 'duh' tone.
"They're the ones who started it, they should pay for it."
"But I don't want that. If anything they'll probably prey on another family to earn what they lost again." You shrugged and stared at your new bracelet. "The best case scenario is I manage to convince my parents to give up the 20 million. I'm sure they'll do it, better than losing more."
Jinyoung sighs. "I'll look over the contract one more time, if there's nothing we can do then we'll do your plan but I'll look over the contract trust me if anything goes suspicious."
"Jinyoung... Why are you doing this? No offense but I thought you would act like nothing happened, not try to help me."
"I like you, I haven't tried to deny it since I first knew about it. However I didn't want you to get caught up in my parents' plan to save their company." He smiles at you making you feel bad. "Plus I can see that Jungkook loves you, he's my brother, I want him to be happy too so if you have a chance to be happy, I'll give up the marriage."
"You're really mature." You couldn't help but say causing him to laugh. "Thank you. You're a really caring brother, you always notice the little things Jungkook does."
"You too." He teases making you roll your eyes. "Wait..." Jinyoung mutters, looking as if realization hits him. "If you-"
"Jinyoung? What are you doing here? You're not allowed to see Y/N until the wedding!" Mrs. Jeon walks into the dressing room with the rest of the bridal party. You and Jinyoung share a look.
"Sorry mom... I just got too excited."
"Well go back to your dressing room, your father is looking for you." Jinyoung gives you one last look and a nod before he leaves the room.
Mrs. Jeon turns to you and smiles excitedly grasping onto your hands which were on your lap. "I can't wait to have you as my daughter in law. You're perfect for my Jinyoung."

For Jinyoung or your company?
You look at your mom pleadingly and she steps forward. "Taeyeon I think you should give her some space, she's really nervous right now."
"Right." Mrs. Jeon nods and steps away from you and you let out a breath.
"Mom can I speak with you?" You looked at the bridal party. "Outside?"
"Sure sweetie." Your mother takes your hand and you head back to the pond. "What's wrong?"
"If I don't want to get married are you willing to give up 20 million dollars?" You bluntly say, there was no other way to say this more gently.
"What are you talking about?"
"The marriage contract, the family who breaks the deal has to pay 20 million."
"Where did you hear this from?"
"Jinyoung. If we get married then we'll be forced to aid the Jeon's."
"The deal was for them to help us."
"No mom, the contract forces the party to help the other when in need. The Jeon's are kind of in a situation right now."
"They'll take more than 20." Your mother mutters and brings her hands to her face. "Our lawyers didn't see anything wrong with the contract, they must've not looked closely enough."
"Are you willing to do it?" You stared at your feet.
"Of course, if we don't end it soon then we'll be worse off." Your mother walks up to you and pulls you into a hug. "I know it seemed like we only wanted you to be married for money but we wanted you to live a good life, a secured one where you're happy. We thought that maybe that Jeon boy would love you back."
"You knew from the beginning?" Your jaws dropped. Just how many people knew.
"Well you're certainly not doing a good job at hiding it." She smiles and sips on her glass of wine that she brought out. "Cancel the engagement, you know your father and I will do anything even if we have to give up the company. 20 million is nothing to us anymore."
"Right... When were you going to tell me how rich we were suddenly?" You crossed your arms suddenly feeling betrayed.
"Well if you knew you would've used all that money on buying more books. We already had a whole library in the house just for you."
"I would not! Ok maybe."
"Get back inside, you're going to that altar and reject him in front for everyone to see."
"Now that seems kind of rude. Jinyoung doesn't deserve being left at the altar."
"Only way people will know you broke the engagement" She shrugs and you hug your mom.
"I love you."
You head back inside and your mother leaves the room probably looking for your father. You put on your dress while the staff does touches on your dress and makeup. You feel your heart beating fast knowing that the wedding was getting closer and closer.
When it was time, you stood in front of the venue doors. You took a deep breath in and braced yourself for what was to happen next. The music starts inside and the doors slowly open, you walk down the aisle looking down at your feet, people are whispering but not something you would expect.
"Where is the groom?"
You looked and stared at the altar now just a few feet away. Jinyoung was missing, where could he have been? You look over to your parents who shrugged, then at the Jeon's who were in total distress.
How could they start the wedding with the groom?
You felt your ears heat up embarrassed as you continued walking to the end. You turn to your parents, your mother and Mrs. Jeon rushed towards you.
"Y/N where is Jinyoung?" Mrs. Jeon grips your shoulders a little bit too hard making you wince.
"Your son must be having second thoughts." Your father narrows his eyes at Mrs. Jeon. "It breaks our contract, you know the consequences."
The Jeon's tell everyone to stay seated while they look for your fiance. You waited a long time before the doors suddenly burst open, Jungkook walked down the aisle confidently wearing a suit. "Sorry for making you wait, the tailor gave me the wrong suit but the groom's here."

LML
A cataclysm occurred in the world, which rolled back its development for many centuries. The power in it returned to the church, because otherwise, as the "2nd coming", the event that destroyed the earth, cannot be called. A big war is brewing, humanity has already mastered all places suitable for life, and the rulers are trying to expand their possessions at the expense of others. Our hero, Marzio, lives in one of the free Italian towns. He is the bastard of a major feudal lord who made his name in the war. His mother, despite her righteous lifestyle, practices quackery. For which one day, on an unremarkable and ordinary day, she is sentenced to death. Seeing the burning of his own mother and losing faith in people, Marzio begins his journey. Thanks to the connections of his small family, he escapes from the city and, together with a trade caravan, moves to another city, where he plans to enter the academy and become stronger. Along the way, he contacts people who call themselves "diggers" - plunderers. So, he finds himself in the ruins of the old world, which was much more developed and finds more and more evidence of the terrible secret of the true cause of the fall of the world, which the church so zealously hides. But the second coming gave not only the suffering and wrath of God, but also monsters from mutated animals. In a fight with them, he falls into the eyes of the detachment of the sacred order, after which they, having estimated its potential, take it to themselves and, with their patronage, he enters the academy. At the academy, he meets new friends, and his origin is revealed there. Since he is the only male descendant, he can claim the title and possession of his father.

After training, Marzio learns about the so-called knowers who are aware of the artifacts of the ancients and how things truly are. New prospects are opening up for him, but also new dangers.

As cover, his order sided with minor rulers to fight the old-fashioned way and maintain the balance of power. More and more secrets are revealed to Marzio, and a serious intriguing game unfolds behind him, into which he is sucked in with more and more force. But the hero is the hero, in order to grow and cope with the twists and turns of fate, he stoically withstands all trials and even not knowing about the threats from the east and another continent continues to go forward to meet his fate, for the sake of freedom, revenge and struggle.

Raul The Reality-Reshaper
Raul Medrano had believed he was a normal human his entire life until the day he turned 21. The night before his 21st birthday he had a strange dream and acquired something dubbed a "system" that swore it would help him adjust to his status as a "higher being" and a "reality reshaper". And so began Raul's life as an immensely powerful adventurer who has and uses a variety of powers to change his world, and the grander omniverse for the better. This story features an overpowered protagonist who meets and faces off against other overpowered entities, but it begins with the protagonist in a small world where he swiftly becomes one of the big dogs so conflict, in the beginning, isn't going to be especially challenging. This story also mixes elements from my own distinct setting, the multiverse in which "A Solitary God" takes place, with elements from the settings created by people over on the NSFW CYOA (Choose your own adventure) subreddit, such as TroyxPage, and specific CYOAs such as "Goddess of Mankind" and "Love Azathoth" into one distinct, wholly original story. When relevant I'll post links to the CYOAs a chapter references in the author's notes section. Image credit: I got the image for the cover from Pixabay. This story was posted originally on ScribbleHub and will continue to be posted both there and elsewhere.
