POSSIBLE REASONS FOR MARRIAGE:
Ⓐ We Got Married → You signed up to do a reality TV show and are now, for better or for worse, whether you like your partner or not, married in the eyes of God and at least seventeen different cameras.
Ⓑ Government Mandated → For whatever reason, the government deems that everyone above the age of X should be married. Congratulations on your forced nuptials!
Ⓒ Station → You come from a royal, noble, or otherwise distinguished family who has chosen a suitable spouse for you.
Ⓓ Feud → You are being married to put an end to the bitter enmity between your two families.
Ⓔ Economics → Your economic state and/or your station will improve through the union, though one of you may be marrying down.
Ⓕ Empire → You and your spouse are merging your businesses and/or property to create something more influential or profitable.
Ⓖ Tribute → You have been offered as a gift or appeasement, alternately you're the spoils of war.
Ⓗ Bloodline → Carrying on your distinguished family name has fallen to you and the equally well-bred spouse of your family's selection.
Ⓘ Disapproval → Your marriage has been arranged to keep you away from the person with whom you truly wish to be.

POSSIBLE SCENARIOS:
① First meeting → This is the very first time you're meeting your future spouse.
② Courtship → To get to know each other and encourage affection, your family has approved of you going on dates.
③ Engagement party → Be it a huge, formal affair or a small, intimate get together, you're celebrating (or pretending).
④ Wedding day → The big day!
⑤ Reception → The big party!
⑥ Wedding night → Every meme needs a smut prompt, right?
⑦ Honeymoon → Where will you go with your new spouse and what will you do there?

( sure thing! any preferences for the scenarios? :)

( ah no, feel free to choose one!

( i decided to go with 2! also thought of a modern-day royalty au, but kept it super vague and open-ended on purpose. :)

there is no romance that can bloom from the union of a sacrificial lamb and a lion. of this, jihyun is certain, even as she smiles softly at her chosen across the table. there are no others around to witness their interactions, but she finds it impossible to let down her guards even now; what's the point of vulnerability when her bride looks soft and willowy and -- and sweet. too sweet, with a beauty that speaks of innocence rather than rigorous upbringings. there's a file on this woman, im jinah, but it's still strewn carelessly across her desk, left untouched in favor of more important, pressing matters. it's almost impossible to believe that this girl is part of the group that's been giving them so much trouble, and while jihyun would normally prefer to give the benefit of the doubt to her own sex, she finds it's beyond her strength today.

perhaps this arranged marriage is affecting her more than she's previously thought.

everything good for the family goes, it's how jihyun's lived her entire life, but she studies the pretty features and wonders if she'll ever feel a flare of affection, a low simmering desire of lust, or even an ounce of pride, or familial bond. she's always held a secret hope that the individual she marries will be someone strong, equally matched in ambition and ability to rule their people together, expand borders and reach greater achievements than dynasties before them... what is she supposed to do with a trophy wife? will jinah be easily bribed by riches from spies that seek to topple her own climb to power? or so spoiled that jihyun is saddled with a child for a wife for the rest of her days?

"tell me about yourself, please?" she says, still wearing a solid veneer of interest as she reaches for her wine instead of rubbing her headache away like she wants. the whole contents of the glass disappear in a few seconds, and still, jihyun tastes nothing. "i've read about you, of course, but i'd rather learn about you from you."

it's almost comical to jinah that she would be sitting in the middle of a jeon owned property the next morning after her father said that the negotiations had gone through. and that was it. she tried to suppress a bitter laugh at the realization that she would be a jeon property too, more or less. maybe her brother was right, she shouldn't have slaved away in university and graduate schoolㅡ those things could have been bought by money. but jinah was stubborn. maybe if she worked hard, she wouldn't be doing things she didn't want to. at least the interior of the jeon office didn't look as clinical as she expected them to be. the political parties had been a mess for as long as she could remember but after the economic decline a few decades ago, a unification had been called for.

at the seat of power is the jeon, with the ims a few seats behind. jinah was raised in a life of privilege, perhaps sheltered, but the 6 years of freedom she had (or was it a delusion?) was something she couldn't let go. in front of her was a file with everything about her. was her accomplishments in research listed there? or only the part about her brief affair with the barista at the university café that was sensationalized by her father's enemies through the media?

either way, she couldn't read jeon jihyun's face. the wine glasses between them did nothing to make her lose the tension on her shoulders and jinah had been itching to take a long swig of her own too. but perhaps it would send the wrong message. "i take it you're not into astrological signs? i wouldn't start there." she spares the folder another glance and she sighs. "jihyun-ssi, this... this feels like the inevitable at this point. if you wish to get to know me, perhaps interviewing me like a person lined up for promotion is something i won't recommend. if you have free time, or if the security permits, perhaps i could show you around my campus? it's where i work."
