THE BOY WHO RUINED ME, NOW MY HUSBAND? JJK

Chapter 1

March 26th, 2025

Aliyah's POV

I nearly slipped on the wet pavement, my steps reckless as I trudged through the stormy night. No umbrella, no jacket—just me, soaked to the bone, my tears blending seamlessly with the rain. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t cold or miserable. But I chose this myself i chose to run out of the house in a blur of frustration, hoping to escape unnoticed. Clearly, fate had other plans. And now, here I am, shivering in the rain.

Lost in my thoughts, I barely noticed the headlights until a car pulled up beside me. I turned, startled.

“Hey, Liyah? What the hell are you doing out here like this?” It was Soobin, my friend.

“I didn’t know it would rain,” I mumbled, scratching the back of my neck. “I just needed some air.”

“Well, don’t just stand there. Get in!” He quickly unlocked the car and motioned for me to hurry.

“You’re so reckless,” he muttered once I was inside. “No jacket? You’re definitely catching a cold.”

“It’s not my fault,” I pouted, hugging myself for warmth.

“Yeah, sure,” he rolled his eyes, and I stuck my tongue out in response.

We drove in silence for a while until we pulled up in front of my house. The rain had stopped. I turned to Soobin with a grateful smile.

“Thanks for the ride, Soobin-ah.”

He waved it off. “Don’t mention it. Just don’t sneak out like this again, okay?”

I nodded and stepped out, waving as he drove off.

As I walked into the compound, I noticed three cars parked outside. Strange. There were only two when I left. I frowned, but brushed it off and went inside—only to stop short at the sight of my father deep in conversation with Mr. Jeon.

Our eyes met, but I couldn’t read his expression. He simply turned back to Mr. Jeon.

“Aliyah, you’re back. Why on earth did you run off like that?” My mother’s voice rang out. “You’re cold, wet, and now you’ve given your future in-laws a terrible impression!”

I scoffed. “In-laws? Mum, I haven’t agreed to this marriage. I don’t want to marry him.”

As if she was waiting for my defiance, she snapped back, “This isn’t up for discussion, Aliyah. Your father and I have made our decision, and you will accept it. It’s for our future. Try to understand. Now go upstairs, freshen up, and come down looking presentable. Your future husband is here for dinner.”

And with that, she walked away, not even giving me the chance to argue.

I hated this life—this prison disguised as privilege. I hated not having a say in my own future, not being able to fight back. I hated how weak I felt. And now, I had to marry the one person I swore I’d never see again. How poetic.

As I walked down the hallway, a voice made me stop dead in my tracks.

“Well, well, well... Look who’s back—Miss Authorim.”

I didn’t need to turn around. I knew that voice. I hated that voice. I hated the way it still made my chest tighten.

I turned, and our eyes met.

Jeon f*****g Jungkook.

He looked even more handsome than before. Taller, broader... crueler. And I hated that too.

“The f**k do you want, Jeon?” I spat, venom lacing every word.

“What do I want? I should be asking you that. You just can’t stay away, can you? Now you’ve gone and manipulated our parents into arranging this? Is that how desperate you are to have me?”

I stared at him in disbelief. “You think too highly of yourself. I hate you. Why the hell would I want anything to do with you?”

He smirked bitterly. “Says the girl who writes fantasies about me. Don’t act like you’re not obsessed. You hate how I make you feel, don’t you? You hate the fact that no matter what, I still have power over you.”

His voice dropped to a cold whisper. “Let me make something clear—I’ve never liked you. And I never will. Get that through your thick skull.”

I laughed bitterly. “Go to hell,” I whispered, and walked away.

As soon as I reached my room, I collapsed on the bed, the weight of everything finally crashing down. I cried—loud, ugly sobs into my pillow.

I hated him. I hated the way he still had this effect on me. I hated how deeply his words cut. And now I was going to marry the boy who ruined my life and destroyed my teenage years.

How lovely.
