He has a icy, cold persona that instills fear in people but even with all these , he still respects and holds his parents in high regards. Being the workaholic he is,his parents took advantage of this fact andgot their family friend's son, Shin Seongho married to Junseong . Junseong promised to make the marriage a nightmare for Seongho not knowing that Seongho would be the reason for his living.
The Sunset Oasis Resort in Bora Bora shimmered like a pearl, its overwater bungalows and lush gardens radiating luxury. Seongho and Junseong, leaving Mangchi to lounge in their villa, were about to experience something entirely different: a "Love Fest" competition.
As they entered the resort's event hall, transformed into a vibrant party space, the emcee, Ryan, welcomed them with a booming voice. "Welcome to our 'Love Fest' event! Seven games will test your bond, trust, and teamwork. The winning couple receives a staggering $1 million prize! And we're live streaming to our global audience!"
The crowd roared, cameras flashing. Seongho grinned at Junseong. "Ready to win this?"
Junseong nodded, his expression focused. "Let's do this."
Back in Seoul, Junseong's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lee, watched the live stream with excitement. "Junseong looks so confident!" Mrs. Lee exclaimed.
Mr. Lee chuckled. "He's got this!"
Seongho's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Shin, and Seongho's sister, Hyeri, watched with the Lees. "Seongho going to win!" Hyeri cheered.
Shin smiled. "Seongho and Junseong make a great team."
Game On
The first game, "Couples' Trivia," pitted Seongho and Junseong against another couple, Bob and Carol. "Question one: What's the key to a successful relationship?" Ryan asked.
Seongho whispered, "Communication?"
Junseong nodded. "That's correct!" Ryan announced.
Junseong's parents high-fived each other. "That's our son!" Seongho's family cheered. "Fighting, namdongsaeng!"
The games flew by: "Love Song Charades," where Seongho acted out "Destiny" by Yoon Mi Rae, and Junseong guessed correctly; the "Couples' Cooking Challenge," where they whipped up a perfect Bibimbap; and the "Trust Walk," where Seongho blindfolded Junseong and guided him through an obstacle course.
The crowd roared with each successful challenge. Seongho's family watched, on the edge of their seats. "Come on, Seongho!" Junseong's parents held hands, anxious.
The "Karaoke Duet" had the audience mesmerized as Seongho and Junseong sang "Destiny" in perfect harmony. Seongho's sister jumped up. "My little brother, you're the best!" Junseong's mom wiped away tears. "My son's found his perfect match."
The Winners
As the final scores were announced, Seongho and Junseong held their breath. And the winners were... our power couple, Seongho and Mr. Lee!
The crowd erupted. Seongho tried to lift Junseong in a celebratory hug, but Junseong was too tall. Seongho just jumped in joy. "We did it!" he exclaimed.
Junseong smiled, his eyes sparkling with triumph. Their families cheered, tears of joy streaming down their faces.
"Congratulations, boys!" Mr. Lee exclaimed, his face beaming on the screen as they decided to video call their children. "We're so proud of you!" Mrs. Shin added, tears shining in her eyes.
Seongho grinned. "Thanks, everyone! We couldn't have done it without each other."
Junseong nodded. "And without your support."
Hyeri bounced into view, excitement radiating from her face. "Seongho, can I talk to your hubby?"
Seongho chuckled. "Go ahead, Hyeri."
Jiho turned to Junseong. "Junseong-nim, you're the best and so cool! Seongho's so lucky!"
Junseong laughed. "Thanks, Hyeri. You're sweet."
Mrs. Lee smiled. "We're thrilled to see you two so happy."
Mr. Shin nodded. "You've found your perfect match, Seongho."
Seongho's eyes met Junseong's, warmth spreading through his chest. Junseong's parents asked about their plans for the donation.
"I've already spoken to Ryan," Junseong said. "The funds will go to local orphanages."
Mrs. Lee's eyes welled up. "Our son's heart is as kind as ever."
Mr. Lee nodded proudly. "Junseong's found a true partner in Seongho."
As the video call continued, laughter and stories flowed freely. Seongho's family shared anecdotes from his childhood. Junseong's parents reminisced about his early days, making the two of them embarrassed. Hyeri chimed in with playful teasing. The warmth and love shared between the two families filled the digital space.
As they wrapped up the call, Seongho smiled. "Love you," he whispered, his gaze locked on Junseong's.
Junseong's face glowed with a gentle smile, his eyes shining with warmth. The moment stretched, filled with unspoken emotions.
Mrs. Lee's voice broke the silence. "Have you two forgotten that we're still here?" she said teasingly, making Seongho blush furiously. "We're so happy for you both."
Mr. Shin nodded. "Take care of each other."
Hyeri waved enthusiastically. "Bye, Seongho! Bye, Junseong-nim!"
The video call ended, leaving Seongho and Junseong alone. Seongho's eyes remained on Junseong, his heart beating softly. Junseong's smile lingered, his eyes never leaving Seongho's.
Seongho grinned. "That was fun."
Junseong chuckled deeply. "Definitely."
They sat in comfortable silence for a moment. Then Junseong spoke up. "I'm thinking of visiting the orphanages tomorrow."
Seongho nodded. "I'll come with you."
Junseong smiled. "Thanks, Seongho."
Their partnership continued to unfold, built on mutual respect and trust.
As they prepared for bed, Seongho turned to Junseong. "Get some rest. Tomorrow's going to be busy."
Junseong nodded. "You too."
Their eyes met, a connection of trust and understanding. The future was uncertain, but they were both ready to face it together.
"Sometimes, the greatest victories aren't measured by trophies or titles, but by the impact we make on others. Junseong and Seongho's selfless decision to donate their winnings to orphanages showcases the true strength of their partnership and character.
Their bond extends far beyond the competition, and I'm excited to explore more depths of their relationship in future chapters."
