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.

AAMMMMYY. AMY. AMY I'M. AMYFUCK.It's a chaebol drama. It's a chaebol rich people drama and i'm HOOKED. Fuck. Everybody here is so goddamn GOOD. Jeongguka dn Seokjin's relationship, how Seokjin is so willing to give up everything for his little brother. Nmaseok and their banter (FUCK I DIED SO MANY PLACES DURING NAMSEOK. THE RAP LYRICS. JACKSON WANG AND FLIRTING. IMPLICATIONS OF RAPLINE POLY. JOON'S MASSIVE DICK. SO MANY PLACES). Yoongi and his petulance. The fact that Hoseok is beter loved by Yoongi's grandmother than probably Yoongi is. TAEHYUNG AND ALL OF HIS FREAKING PROBLEMS WITH CHUSEOK. Taehyung and their aunt's dialogue in general. and look. the fact you managed to get I Need You references, the wings bird art gallery thingie reference, and make it the ending the most perfect cliche thing possible, and still make me ABSOLUTELY HOOKED AND READY FOR THIS, is a testament to your writing. I am SO READY for 100k of this :DDDDDD

I rarely log into ao3 so I seldom leave comments but I just had to for this!!!!!!!!! this is literally a masterpiece, the humor, the plot, the grandma and basically everything else. #grandmagoalsI have a soft spot for brothers!jinkook depending on each other and jin being able to sacrifice anything just to protect jk ;_; you hit me right at that spot.can't wait to see how yoonjin will progress omg I'm so excited!! if I'm a director I would totally hire you as my scriptwriter and produce this drama.also I want to give this part an award. Grammy worthy. I love it.Namjoon stands. "Okay you know what? Consider this," he gestures to his crotch, "closed for business."Hoseok gapes at him as he storms to their bedroom. "I was joking, Joonie! It was a joke!" he calls out. "Mostly. Nearly half of it was in jest." He waits for a response but all he hears is overly loud rustling. "Babe?" He stands from the sofa and inches towards the bedroom. "Come on, bae, reopen the candy shop. Let me lick the lollipop."

o k ok ok ok actually sorry for the delay of dropping comment i just had to read this three times to bask in everything im!!!! i still cant believe this au this is written omg have i told you i love you or i love you?ok for the good stuff, i really love the banters between the characters??? like when you say grandma of yoongi is yoongi but 100 times more better and sass, no wonder he's like that.yoongi coming out to bunch of reporters - Legends only ;fldkf; he really would do anything to get out hahah hah hah. poor auntie having to deal with bad chuseok again.i live for namseok like oh my god they're the best -- hobi praising joon's massive dick without being bashful at all, the hip hop lyrics, also hobi saying that they would have a different living arrangement when he knew seokjin is bi, i love how sassy hobi is ;sdlfks;flk. im sold, im sold i can tell they're my otp already in this fic. i love your namseok dynamic gaghgl.ANDDDDD SEOKJIN WITH A BACKBONE IS MY KINK DO YOU KNOW HOW HAPPY I AM WHEN I SEE HIM GO "There is a line, Chairwoman," he says coolly, suppressing the heat of offense flowing through his veins. "Lines that even you should not cross."im really really happy your seokjin really have a great character - a loving brother to kook, a 'son' who's willing to disobey his 'father', warning one of the most influential woman, but also willing to beg to strike a deal with yoongi - he's so rich with character im going to bawl :'((even if im a jinkook enthusiast but seeing them going all brotherly is gr8 too omg feed me all the fluff brotherhood of jinkooks TTand i see the wings relation in the gallery boop boop its a nice touch <3 seokjin going on details on arts,, what a beautiful imageaaaah i cannot wait to see how this will unveil, im ready for the ride!!!

Please, please don't delete this fic and leave. This story is amazing, and your writing is fabulous. It's rare that we see such delicate, nuanced representations of Jin; you make me feel like I know a real person with this story. Every time you update it brightens my day, and I just so desperately want to know how the story ends. I literally told a friend when you last updated that it was like a new episode of my favorite drama was released. Please stay.

"LEE JIHOON" "THAT'S INCEST""-REOPEN THE CANDY SHOP. LET ME LICK THAT LOLLIPOP"I'M LEGITIMATELY CRYING,,,,,,(coughs) That aside, I want to personally thank your friends for persuading (bribing) you into writing this. Arrange marriage AU's are always so fun to read (especially when it's humorous), and having yoonjin being thrown into this is just perfect. It's gonna be hilarious, minus the possible jin fam angst but like "don't expect anything deep," which I'm holding you on to that eveBut yeah, this has honestly been one of the few fics that I actually started crying from laughing so hard. There's a playful vibe to it where it seems like crack but just not quite there yet; crack with really good plot that makes it not crack (if that makes sense). It's a really good impression and first chapter is what I wanna say basically, and I know I'm going to be enjoying this ;DI'm especially going to enjoy the namseok. I feel like namseok is gonna be my fav (after yoonjin) in this, they're hilarious xDALSO, thank you so much for mentioning my baby Woozi <3 Probably one of the best cross kgroup reference I've seen xD

I love you, but you are hurting me. Deeply. Lethally. I thought this was just a phase. I was wrong. I thought we were special. I was far away of the reality. I don't have words. It's 2 am, and you have me here, squeezing. Like a fucking rubber duck. Do you know them? They are toys that you use when you take a shower in your bathtub. By the way, my bathtub's water is my tears. Yes, I'm a fucking rubber duck SQUEEZING and swimming in a bathtub filled with my OWN tears. And you are gonna what? Enjoy a delicious shower thanks to all the pain you caused. Good. Go do that, and please come with more chapters. I hope my salty tears can be enough tribute. Quack and bye.

Hello (Miss?) Amy.. um... I would've asked you this on twitter, but I don't have a twitter account, so this is all I can do. Um. I was wondering; have you ever suffered through self-doubt with your writing? I keep expecting my writing to turn out better than how it actually comes out on paper, and I'm always questioning myself, and comparing my work to others', and I was just wondering how you fought against this because your writing is just so incredible, and I'm so afraid that I'll never reach the level that I'm aiming for... you know?I love this story, by the way. I can't thank you enough for the hard work you put into it <333

- "Why am I here?" he finally asks, wary. - IDK WHY BUT THIS HAD ME LAUGHING SO HARD LIKE "I thought this was just an innocent situation but wait a minute... Why."- "What do you think about marrying my grandson?" - GRANNY MIN GOT GAAAAAME she reminds me of Mulan's grandma omg- "You could break up." - THIS ENTIRE CONVERSATION HAS ME ROLLLLIN I CANNOT WITH THIS GRANDMA- "It happens to the best of couples. And who better to heal your wounds than my loving, adoring grandson?" - somEONE STOP HER- "There's no respect for the elderly these days." - SOMEONE FUCKING STOP HER OMG- Namjoon hangs his head in defeat. - What a disgrace; hip hop is dead today- "Mostly. Nearly half of it was in jest." - This reminds me of that one time that girl that eats a lot in Attack on Titan offered the instructor "half" her baked potato and it was split like 30/70 instead and she had to run like 45934953 laps for disgracing him like that
