Forced Remarriage (Taekook)
1
The spacious airport was filled with noisy hustle and bustle.
Kim Taehyung did not expect this the moment he stepped off the plane.
Not far from him stood a crowd he knew all too well—reporters, holding cameras, scanning every face.
Kim Taehyung
He lowered the brim of his cap and frowned.
Kim Taehyung
“Didn’t I say my schedule was supposed to be confidential?"
Kim Taehyung, a rising actor in the entertainment industry, had won the most prestigious newcomer award within a year of his debut.
Standing next to him was his manager, Park Jimin.
Park jimin
“Yeah, I definitely didn’t tell anyone you were coming back from Z City today,” 😅
Honestly, he hated reporters more than anyone—especially now. Just when Taehyung’s popularity was rising, scandals started surfacing one after another. The agency was already dissatisfied, which was why they rushed him back immediately after finishing the shoot in Z City.
Kim Taehyung
Glanced at him briefly. His lips twitched slightly, but he said nothing.
Park jimin
Shivered under that look🥶
Right then, their assistant, Jung Hoseok, who had gone to gather information, came running back.
Jung Hoseok
“Hyung! I checked!”
Jung Hoseok
“Those reporters aren’t here for you!”
There are reporters at the airport… but not for you.
Why did that sound like he wasn’t popular enough?
Kim Taehyung
Felt a flicker of annoyance.
Was Jimin trying to give him a headache by hiring this guy?
Park jimin
“Are you trying to make it obvious that Taehyung is here?”🤨
Park jimin
Jimin smacked Hoseok lightly
Park jimin
“Keep your voice down!”
Kim Taehyung
“Well… if they’re not here for us, let’s go,”
Adjusting his sunglasses as he walked forward with his backpack
Park jimin
“Yeah… let’s go,”😟
Park jimin
Nodded, following behind, though his expression carried a hint of worry
Kim Taehyung was breathtakingly beautiful.
Not the kind that overwhelmed instantly—but the kind that grew on you the longer you looked
He stood tall with a graceful build, long legs that turned heads effortlessly, a slim waist, and soft, dark hair falling naturally over his shoulders.
Because he rose too fast, people began to tear him down just as quickly.
Because he rose too fast, people began to tear him down just as quickly.
Jung Hoseok
“Don’t you want to know who the reporters are waiting for?”😅
Kim Taehyung
Taehyung kept walking as if he hadn’t heard.
Park jimin
Thinking about how to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Another Assistant
Focused on pushing the luggage, ignoring Hoseok completely.
Jung Hoseok
“Actually… they’re here for Min Yoongi.”
Another Assistant
“Min Yoongi? The national icon?” 😱
Another Assistant
“His skills aren’t even as good as Taehyung’s.”
Jung Hoseok
“Skills don’t matter as much as publicity. Haven’t you heard? Min Yoongi was spotted traveling with the president of JK Group… Jeon Jungkook.”
Jung Hoseok
Voice dropped slightly, filled with gossip
Jung Hoseok
“They say Jeon Jungkook is one of the most powerful figures in the business world… the ultimate ‘diamond bachelor.’ If this rumor is true, Yoongi’s career will skyrocket…”
Kim Taehyung
His words trailed off as Taehyung suddenly stopped walking.
Park jimin
Shot Hoseok a sharp glare
Jung Hoseok
Heart skipped a beat 😅
Jung Hoseok
“Hyung… I didn’t mean—”😅
But Taehyung wasn’t listening.
His gaze had already shifted toward the arrival gate.
Even through his sunglasses, the camera flashes felt blinding.
Kim Taehyung
Grip on his bag tightened unconsciously
At the arrival gate, a group of men in black suits walked out in perfect formation.
Tall. Broad-shouldered. Dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit.
His features were sharp and striking, his gaze cold and unreadable.
Like a king who ruled everything beneath him.
Unapproachable. Untouchable.
That man was none other than Jeon Jungkook.
And the moment Taehyung saw him—
His world, which he had carefully kept steady for three years…

Reporter
“President Jeon! President Jeon! Did you return from Venice with Min Yoongi?”
Reporter
“It’s rumored that JK Group is planning to expand into the film industry. Is it because of Min Yoongi?”
Reporter
“What do you think about Min Yoongi missing the award this time?”
Reporter
Reporters rushed forward, microphones raised high.
The bodyguards quickly formed a barrier, keeping them away from the king-like man at the center.
The passageway became completely jammed.
Kim Taehyung
Suddenly turned around
Kim Taehyung
“I need to use the restroom.”
Park jimin
Nodded, though his eyes were still fixed on the man in the distance
That man… is insanely handsome.
Even compared to celebrities, he stood out overwhelmingly.
How did someone like him get involved with Min Yoongi?
Park jimin
Clicked his tongue internally.
Men really are shallow.
The king-like man suddenly glanced in their direction.
Park jimin
heart skipped.
But the gaze didn’t linger.
Escorted by bodyguards, he walked forward without stopping.
The crowd followed him like a tide, leaving the arrival gate gradually quieter.
Park jimin
“This President Jeon is seriously good-looking. If Min Yoongi is really connected to him, that’s worth more than any award. Someone like him could push a career straight to the top.”
Park jimin
“And someone like Yoongi? Without that backing, he wouldn’t even stand a chance.”
Kim Taehyung
Stared at the direction where the man had disappeared.
Kim Taehyung
Pulled his cap lower
Park jimin
Already used to Taehyung’s cold responses.
He quickly urged the others to move faster, avoiding unnecessary attention.
Not long after they left—
Another wave of reporters flooded the arrival gate.
“Min Yoongi! Is it true you’re dating President Jeon of JK Group?”
“You traveled to Venice together—does that confirm the relationship?”
“You didn’t win any awards this time. Did President Jeon say anything about it?”
At the center stood Min Yoongi, dressed elegantly, smiling calmly under the flashing lights.
Min yoongi
“For me, awards aren’t everything,”
Min yoongi
“I make music and films for the people I care about. As long as they enjoy it, that’s enough.”
Min yoongi
Paused, then added with a soft smile
Min yoongi
“And if there’s good news… I’ll let everyone know.”
Reporter
“Are you confirming the relationship?”
Reporter
“Are you and President Jeon getting married soon?”
Min yoongi
didn’t answer further.
Protected by his team, he moved forward, leaving the reporters to speculate wildly.
Soon, the airport returned to silence again.
Park jimin
“See that? That’s how you handle the media. Neither confirming nor denying—just enough to keep people talking. That’s how you gain attention.” with scoff
Kim Taehyung
Glanced at him sideways
Kim Taehyung
“You want me to gain more attention?”
Park jimin
“Please don’t.”
Even when Taehyung tried to clarify the scandals around him, no one believed him.
If he stopped explaining altogether, things would only get worse.
He had only gone to Z City—
Yet he had already been dragged into multiple headlines.
Taehyung… simply wasn’t the type the public treated kindly
Park jimin
Let out dry laugh
Park jimin
“Forget it. Someone like you would never catch the attention of someone like President Jeon anyway.”
The words were sharp—deliberate.
Kim Taehyung
Looked at Jimin silently
Kim Taehyung
Dark eyes were unreadable, like ink spreading endlessly in water.
Park jimin
Did I go too far?
Kim Taehyung
Suddenly smiled
Kim Taehyung
“You’re right,”
Kim Taehyung
"Of course President Jeon would disdain me.”
Kim Taehyung
tone was light. Almost careless.
Kim Taehyung
“Let’s go. Don’t blame me if we run into reporters again.”
Park jimin
Exhaled in relief
Right now, all he wanted…
Was to hide Kim Taehyung far away from trouble

Kim Taehyung didn’t go home.
Instead, he headed straight to the company.
Mirae Entertainment was one of the biggest agencies in the city, housing countless top-tier artists.
The most legendary among them was Kim Seokjin, the only actor under the company to have won Best Actor awards at both Cannes and Venice. However, he was now semi-retired.
Right after him was actress Kim Jennie, a dominant figure in the film industry who had secured multiple top awards and was widely regarded as the agency’s reigning queen.
He had debuted only a year ago.
Winning the Best New Actor award had put him directly under the spotlight, marking him as a rising star.
The drama he starred in also achieved excellent ratings, bringing him even more attention and resources.
Just as his popularity began to soar, scandals started piling up one after another.
Which made the agency… extremely dissatisfied.
Outside the CEO’s office on the 23rd floor, two rookie actresses stood whispering.
Rookie Actor 1
“Out of all those scandals, which one do you think is real?”
Rookie Actor 2
“Does it matter?”
Rookie Actor 2
“President Bang is definitely going to be furious this time. he’s just a newcomer, yet already drowning in rumors. Even someone like Jennie doesn’t act like that.”
At that moment, the office door opened.
Park jimin
Stepped out, his expression instantly turning cold when he saw them.
Park jimin
“What are you doing here? Is this where you should be?”
Rookie Actor 1
“We were just worried about Taehyung sunbae,”
Park jimin
“You should worry about yourselves instead. Your debut is coming soon—prepare for that. Opportunity only favors those who are ready.”
Rookie Actor 1
“Yes, we understand!”
The two hurried away immediately.
Watching them leave, Jimin’s frown deepened.
Taehyung was far more clear-minded, despite all the dirt thrown at him.
Not far away, the two rookies stopped.
Rookie Actor 2
“That Kim Taehyung is really shameless,”
Rookie Actor 2
“Getting involved with powerful people is one thing—but rumors say he’s entangled with both President Bang and his son. That’s just disgusting.”
Rookie Actor 1
“Stop talking nonsense!”
Rookie Actor 1
“If President Bang hears you, your career is over.”
Rookie Actor 1
Inside the CEO’s office—
CEO (Mirae)
Sat behind his desk, staring at Taehyung with a headache brewing.
CEO (Mirae)
“who exactly did you offend? How did one advertisement shoot turn into this many scandals?”
Others faced one rumor at a time.
Kim Taehyung
Stood calmly, flipping through the tabloids on the desk.
He had simply gone to Z City—
Yet now it felt like he had somehow lived multiple lives there, according to the rumors.
Kim Taehyung
“President Bang,”
Kim Taehyung
“You shouldn’t be asking me that.”
Kim Taehyung
Gaze remained steady
Kim Taehyung
“I can guarantee I didn’t do any of these things. If I knew who was behind this, I wouldn’t be standing here. And more importantly…”
Kim Taehyung
Placed the tabloids down
Kim Taehyung
“Isn’t it the agency’s responsibility to investigate defamation?”
CEO (Mirae)
Felt his head ache even more
There was no denying Taehyung’s talent.
Every director who worked with him praised him endlessly.
Even his natural beauty was accused of being artificial—
Which only proved how exceptional he was.
Which only proved how exceptional he was.
Signing him had been a huge gain for the company.
His personality was far too strong.
CEO (Mirae)
“Enough. Leave.”
CEO (Mirae)
“Focus on your projects. Don’t respond to any media.”
CEO (Mirae)
“And don’t get involved in any more scandals.”
Kim Taehyung
Expression grew colder.
