i love a good trope, and what can i say? this was wildly enjoyable! the worldbuilding and plot were amazing, and this is the kind of feel-good slow burn i need more of in my life. i wouldn't exactly call this fluff, but it *is* gratifying to see yoongi slowly fall in love with jin in this one.
summary:
Jeon Seokjin has exactly four weeks to stop the impending engagement of his younger brother, doomed to a loveless marriage. The only way to stop it is to make a better match, more advantageous, more lucrative for the Jeon family. It's impossible. It's his only option.
Min Yoongi does not want, will never want, will never ever even consider, marriage. It's not in the cards. He's stubborn enough to achieve the total ban on marriage talks. Except maybe his grandmother is a little more stubborn than he is, and maybe she's determined to see him march down the aisle.
The chaebol arranged marriage au that exactly one and a half people asked for.
