*At the mansion*

The next day, Jungkook and Taehyung were sitting on the balcony.

"Jungkook... Xiao's dad can be here anytime to catch us and hang up. He hasn't yet closed the case... and he's not planning to close it. Our spy just now informed me. We're in great danger." Taehyung said.

After thinking for a while, Jk asked, "Is Xiao with you at the moment? Are you both together now?"

"Yeah...we're together," Taehyung replied.

"Okay, then come with me." Jk walked away followed by Taehyung.

Jk, with Taehyung, went to the main hall and called out for Xiao and Jimin.

"What's it, Jk?" Jimin came in from the entryway.

"Xiao's dad is gonna kill all three of us. Isn't it, Taehyung?" Jk asked.

"Yeah." Taehyung replied.

"Well, that's not new info," Jimin said.

"He's not planning to close this case until he kills the three of us," Jk said.

Jimin and Taehyung stood speechless.

"Yeah..? Someone called me?" Xiao came downstairs.

"Yeah, Since your dad is gonna catch us and kill, I got an idea to keep one of us alive," Jk said.

"Who?" Xiao asked.

"Your boyfriend.... Taehyung." Jk said gesturing to Taehyung.

"Me? How?" Taehyung asked.

"Get married," Jk said.

"Are you fucking nuts?" Jimin asked.

"If Taehyung is gonna get married to Xiao, her dad will never arrest him or sentence to kill him because that will make her daughter a widow or a prisoner's wife," Jk said.

"Umm... that's something thoughtful," Taehyung said thinking for a while.

"Then it's better you both get married soon," Jimin said.

"What? No but I-" Xiao got interrupted by Jk, "Okay then that's final." he said and walked away as Jimin went outside.

"Look, Taehyung!!! I am sorry I can't agree to this marriage. I love you, but... this marriage... it's... I don't want to rush with these things," She said.

"Look... The only girl I've ever laid my eyes on is you, and I never wanna lose you. It's just a marriage... Don't worry, you can take your time to accept being my wife. Till then we can still keep a distance if you want. But we can't delay or cancel this marriage." Taehyung said.

"But, I - I need some time alone," she said and walked away to her room.

'This is not how I pictured my wedding. I wanted it in the presence of my father. I wanted him to hand me over to my groom wholeheartedly. But...' Xiao's eyes were filled with tears, recalling the good memories she had with her father.

She felt guilty thinking of how she deceived her father and got together with Taehyung. But nothing in her regretted that decision.

After making a tough decision, she went to Taehyung's room to see him.

"Taehyung?" She called from behind him.

"Yes?" He asked, still looking out of the window.

"I- I am okay with the marriage. You may proceed," she said and walked back into her room.

*At that afternoon*

As Jungkook and Jimin were in the fitness room, Xiao came and knocked on the door, and heard a 'come in,' from inside.

She opened the door and approached them, "Uh... what if... my father comes to know about this marriage?"

"There's no way your dad is gonna know until you tell him," Jimin said.

She said nothing and walked out.

"So, when should be the wedding?" JK asked.

"We'll ask them," Jimin said, and after some time they both came out of the fitness room and called out for Xiao and Taehyung.

"So, when should we have the wedding?" Jimin asked.

"It's.. I am fine with whenever it is." Taehyung said.

"What about you?" he asked Xiao.

"Yeah, I'm also fine with any time," Xiao said.

"Okay, then we'll not wait for anything. We'll fix the wedding for tomorrow evening." Jk said and walked outside with Jimin.

"Are you sure, you're fine?" Taehyung asked.

"Yeah... don't worry. I'll be fine," Xiao said with a smile.

*The next day, evening*

In the evening, Jimin, Taehyung, and Xiao went to the Civil Registry Office to register the marriage.

"What's your nationality?" Asked the officer to Taehyung and Xiao.

"Germany," Taehyung replied.

"Italy," Xiao said.

"Can I see your nativity certificate, ma'am?" The officer asked.

"Nativity..." Xiao stood confused.

"Is a nativity certificate compulsory?" Taehyung asked.

"Not only nativity certificate, but also her passport, marriageability certificate that is sanctioned from Italy, and... That's all I guess." He replied.

"But..." Taehyung was all confused.

"Also sir, we need your birth certificate to show your exact age, and your passport to show that you are a German citizen." The officer said.

"This marriage cannot wait. We don't have the certificates you asked for. Just register the wedding without these procedures." Jimin said.

"Sorry, but marriage is not a silly thing, and we cannot register it legally without the papers I asked for." The officer said.

"Will you register their marriage or should I register your death?" Jimin asked taking his gun out of his gun pouch.

"Huh.... N-No sir... I'll register their marriage." He gulped.

"Sir, please sign here," He told Taehyung giving him a book to sign.

Followed by Taehyung, Xiao also did the same.

Putting his gun back, Jimin walked outside and started the car.

As the marriage was registered, Taehyung and Xiao walked outside, got in the car, and Jimin drove away.
