Mr. Byun
Why do you think you deserve this job?
Yoongi's throat tightens at that question, he clears his throat with a nervous laughter and he gets a weird stare from Mr. Byun. He can already tell he wasn't making a good impression.
Yoongi
I'm very uh..very hardworking and I..I think I could offer alot to your company sir.
Mr. Byun
be more specific, offer a lot more what?
Yoongi looks down at his sweaty palms as he laughs nervously, making the environment even more awkward than it already was. He doesn't know what to say, pathetic since he's studied and memorized every possible question he could've been asked today, and he did study this one so why was he struggling so much.
Mr. Byun
you use the word 'well' so much, is it the only word you know?
Mr. Byun raises an eyebrow with a small smile as he looks down at his book in his hand and he makes a small note. Yoongi can't help but wonder what it was.
what was the actual problem if he used well alot? would this cost him the job? not that he thinks he'd get it regardless but still.
Yoongi takes a bow, swiftly and with a lot of energy, but he didn't calculate just how far he should've bowed, making his head collide right on Mr. Byun's desk.
A yelp leaves him as he sits up, his hands finds his head immediately, as his face distorts into discomfort.
Yoongi hums clearly uncomfortable, and embarrassed. He just wants to get this interview over with.
Yoongi lets out with an awkward smile.
The man looks down at the paper, trying remember what Yoongi's name was, and Yoongi wants to feel offended but he really can't.
Yoongi smiles at that..does this mean he actually has a chance?? A huge smile threatens his lips at that thought.
Mr. Byun
but this is as far as this interview will go..
His smile instantly deflates before he nods.
Yoongi
Thank you for your time.
Yoongi stands up and grabs his stuff, before he hurriedly makes his way out of the man's office. Tears threaten his eyes, How could he fail at getting a job again.
Soon he'd be homeless, and without food. He wonders what his parents will say this time, that he hasn't found a job yet
Jungkook
Mr. Kim would like to speak with you.
Taehyung sighs before he puts the paper work down. The last person he'd want to speak to at the moment was his dad, because he knew what was coming.
Talks of marriage, and what woman he would date and he's over it.
Taehyung
Tell him I'm busy..
Jungkook
how many times must I lie to him?
Taehyung
as many times as it takes for him to leave me alone.
Jungkook sighs before he pulls the chair before Taehyung out, and he takes a seat before the man.
Taehyung
What are you doing?
Taehyung
that's not what I meant.
Jungkook
I'm going to try to convince you to do as Mr. Kim says...
Taehyung
now why would you do that?
Taehyung gives Jungkook a pointed look, making Jungkook stare at him blankly, not fazed by the older's gaze at all.
Jungkook
well, your dad...
Jungkook gives Taehyung a confused look.
Jungkook
You know I don't call him that...
Jungkook
you know why, he never told me to and I didn't want to make you uncomfortable.
Taehyung hums and leans back in his chair.
Jungkook
anyways, Your dad asked me to try and convince you since we're so close.
Taehyung
if dad knew anything about us he'd know that you can't convince me to do anything.
Taehyung smiles and Jungkook rolls his eyes, knowing it was, in fact, true.
Jungkook
I can at least try, can't I?
Taehyung
don't waste your breath, I'm not ready to get married so I won't listen to whatever you have to say.
Jungkook
You're so stubborn.
Taehyung
like I should be.
A smirk forms on Taehyung's lips before he picks up his paper work again.
Taehyung
if your done here, send someone to get me coffee. please.
Jungkook
But you're going to tell Mr. Kim about all this, I know he won't be happy that you didn't even hear me out.
Taehyung's face lifts in shock.
Taehyung
what? you...no you tell him.
Jungkook
I will not tell him, it's best you tell him tonight.
Jungkook smiles seeing the stress on Taehyung's face, he should've just heard him out.
Yoongi walks slowly, as he pouts and sips a juice box. He feels so pathetic that he doesn't even want to do anything at the moment.
He turns a bit and sees a woman staring at him with a somewhat of a disgusted face as she pointed at him showing her son, who stared at him, equally as disgusted. Yoongi sighs, he can't help but wonder what they had been saying about him.
He feels more tears settle in his eyes, but he wipes them away before they could fall.
Yoongi furrows his brow, as he hears something similar to his name from the distance. He stops walking before he turns and his eyes immediately land on an oranged headed man waving at him from a far.
He facepalms himself mentally.
He had totally forgotten he had a lunch date with Hoseok today, he just had so much on his mind.
He throws his juice box in the trash before he quickly runs back over to where Hoseok had been standing, before he hugs the younger man tightly.
Yoongi doesn't see Hoseok very often, as Hoseok was now a big shot model based in the US, but still he was immensely popular in South Korea as well so Yoongi's not really sure if he should be seen in public with Hoseok. Rumors and stuff fly way too quickly when you're near a celebrity.
Hoseok
Hey. I haven't seen you in so long.
Yoongi
yeah. I kinda forgot how ugly you are.
Hoseok chuckles and rolls his eyes.
Hoseok
my agents in the US don't seem to think so.
Yoongi
I'm the only one who won't lie to you.
Hoseok pulls away first, with yet another eye roll before he says.
Hoseok
shut up and let's eat. I'm starving.
Yoongi
I think I'll pass on eating right now.
Hoseok raises an eyebrow, and it scares Yoongi because he knows exactly what questions were coming next .
Yoongi
I'm...I'm not hungry {nervous laughter}
Hoseok
what? when's the last time you've eaten?
Yoongi
I had a huge breakfast, huge huge.
Yoongi
enough for two people, you know.
Yoongi smiles tight lipped as Hoseok stared at him trying to read him.
Hoseok
I feel like you're lying to me.
Yoongi laughs loudly and awkwardly making everyone around look at them. which he later regrets.
Person 1
is that Jung Hoseok?
Person 2
Oh my God, it is him, isn't it?
Person 3
Hey, I heard Jung Hoseok is over there.
Person 4
should we go look?
Yoongi looks over at Hoseok with an apologetic smile as he scratches the back of his neck awkwardly. Hoseok shakes his head and gives Yoongi a small smile.
The chatter gets louder and eventually people start coming over to Hoseok asking for selfies with him and for autographs and Yoongi feels awful, it's his fault.
After about 30 minutes Hoseok comes back and takes a seat before him.
Yoongi
I'm so sorry, that was..all my fault.
Hoseok
it's fine, just think about how you might've just helped a young child get my autograph.
Yoongi
that does make me feel kind of better.
Hoseok
it does, doesn't it?
Hoseok smiles before he looks down at his the menu, trying to think of what he'll get.
Hoseok
what are you getting?
Yoongi
I..I can't eat right now..I'm..
Yoongi runs a hand through his hair as he smiles awkwardly feeling Hoseok's stare on him again.
Hoseok
the only one here that should be on a diet is me, so look at the menu and tell me what you want.
Yoongi sighs before he leans back, Hoseok stares at him sensing something was wrong.
Hoseok
is everything o....
Yoongi
Hoseok, I can't eat here..
Yoongi
I can't afford anything here.
Yoongi looks down at his fingers feeling stupid. He hears a sigh come from Hoseok making him look up.
Hoseok
I never intended to make you pay...
Yoongi
oh, you just assumed I couldn't pay for it? I can...someday...not now but...aish
Yoongi buries his face in his hand.
Hoseok
look at the menu, and choose a meal and I'll worry about the cost.
Yoongi
fine, I'll have a water.
Hoseok
I forgot how stubborn you are.
Yoongi
I take that as a compliment
Yoongi smiles as he stares at Hoseok who rolls his eyes and calls the waitress.
Waitress
Afternoon, are you guys ready to order?
Hoseok
yes, I'd like two bowls of bulgogi please
The waitress writes down the order as Yoongi stares at Hoseok, who smirks at him.
Waitress
will that be all?
Hoseok
no, let me have two waters as well.
The waitress writes that down before she speaks again.
Hoseok nods and the waitress bows.
Waitress
Thank you. Your food will be served shortly.
They both smile at the lady before she bows and walks away.
Yoongi
why would you order two?
Hoseok
because I'm stubborn too and I always get my way.
Hoseok
but at least I still ordered you water, {smug smile}
Hoseok
but you love me...{fakes a pout}
Yoongi
I'm starting to wonder if I still do...
Hoseok
anyways, how's Yoonhwa?
Yoongi
she's...stressed I think, but she doesn't show it.
Yoongi stares at Hoseok a bit confused at how concerned he was to hear this news but Yoongi brushes it off.
Yoongi
Well, my dad's been on her aśś wanting her to get married to any rich guy she can find.
there's a slight shift in the air and Yoongi doesn't really know why, but he doesn't feel the need to confront it so he just brushes it off like he always does.
Hoseok
does she really not want to marry anyone?
Yoongi
no, I don't think so. she told me that marriage isn't really something she's been seeking.
Hoseok
oh, well enough about her. what about you?
Yoongi can't tell what's going on inside Hoseok's head but it doesn't sit very well with him.
Yoongi
I'm.. there's nothing going on in my life at the moment.
Hoseok
really? there has to be something?
Hoseok
nothing stressing you out? there has to be, why else would you walk straight pass me if you weren't stressed?
Yoongi
I can't seem to find a job.
Yoongi sighs as he runs a hand through his hair.
Hoseok
really? but you have so many skills.
Yoongi
yeah, but I never finished school so that's been the issue for the most part but today I was just too nervous and I don't think the interview went well at all.
Hoseok
you don't think there's a chance you'll get it.
Yoongi
nope, but I'm trying not to think about that.
Hoseok
I could help you find a job, I'll put in a good word and see what I can do.
Yoongi
Hoseok, that's really not necessary. I'll try to find one myself and if it's still not working out then I'll come and beg you to help me find one.
Hoseok
I kinda like the idea of you begging me, so fine.
Hoseok
but you really shouldn't be scared to accept help, especially when its from your best friend.
Yoongi
ah, I really should but it's become a habit.
Yoongi
it's not that easy, but yeah I have to try.
Yoongi sighs a bit, and at the same time the food comes.
Yoonhwa
Can't you just drop this?
Yoonhwa
I don't want to do it and I'll never want to.
Mr. Min
Don't you care about your family? why can't you just do this for us?
Yoonhwa
I have to put myself first right now, I can't just marry anyone you say for money, that's putting my happiness on the line.
Mr. Min
you will be happy, why wouldn't you be? you'll have all the money you could dream of.
Yoonhwa
no, I don't want money, not everything important has to do with money, dad.
Yoongi sighs as he hears the conversation from outside the house. He laughs nervously before he looks up at Hoseok.
Hoseok
I think maybe I should come back tomorrow or so.
Yoongi
yeah, that's probably for the best.
Hoseok
tell them I said hi, and forget about the meal today, I just wanted to treat you.
Hoseok
because you're my friend. aren't you?
Yoongi
but, I'm your friend and I can't recall ever treating you...
Hoseok
Yoongi..you worry too much
Hoseok
I know that when you find your job you'll shower me with all the money you make and even if you don't it's fine, i can buy myself gifts if I want.
Yoongi
aish, okay. I'll treat you so good one day. just wait.
Hoseok
now, it's getting cold so I'm gonna go.
Hoseok lets out, clutching his coat tightly before Yoongi gives him a tight squeeze. Yoongi smiles as he watches Hoseok waddle away.
He shouts before he turns and walks up to the door of his family's Ramen restaurant.
Yoingi works here most times, but it's not ideal as he doesn't get paid much since the money they make goes to house bills and other debt which were made by him but he still can't pay so his mom and dad have to be taking care of that.
Of course he feels bad but he's trying and he just doesn't know what else to do.
Yoongi walks into the room and sees his dad staring at his sister with disappointment.
Mr. Min
You can eventually divorce the person if the marriage doesn't go well.
Yoonhwa
Dad, please just stop. I'm tired of doing this with you. I won't go.
Mr. Min
you don't have a choice. I'll find a meeting with someone before Friday so prepare yourself.
The man says with his deep voice, before he smiles at her softly and walks up to her giving her a tight hug.
He lets out and even though Yoonhwa, rolls her eyes she still hugs him back with a smile.
Yoongi had always admired they're relationship, even though they had so many disagreements and views they always remained close, he's never seen them argue and be mad at each other for more that 2 days and it always made Yoongi somewhat jealous, because he's never had that type of relationship with his dad, neither with his mom as a matter of fact.
He just feels like out of him and Yoonhwa, they prefer her and that's find, there's always a favored child but he sometimes kind of wished that it was him.
He used to think that maybe it was because Yoonhwa was prettier but then that made no sense since they both have the same face, they're twins after all.
But out of the two, she's smarter, way smarter, she was confident and outgoing, extroverted and a people person, everything Yoongi wasn't and so he always felt like her backup. like whenever anyone saw him he was just Yoonhwa's twin.
His dad walks up to him and pulls him into a hug before he lets out a yawn.
The man lets go of Yoongi before he heads for the door. Yoongi's happy that his dad didn't even remember about his job interview. he didnt know how he'd tell them that he didn't get another job.
After Mr. Min walked out the door Yoongi sighs. He hugs himself tightly as the clothes he wore was too thin for the cold air.
Yoonhwa
Is that what you wore to your job interview?
Yoongi hums and looks down at himself.
Yoonhwa
I should really start shopping for you.
Yoongi
does it look that bad?
Yoonhwa
not really, you make it work and then you're so handsome and pretty so no one will even look at your clothes.
Yoonhwa
but you gotta pull them in with looks and your clothes. uh, I should've taken you under my wing ages ago.
Yoonhwa
but don't worry my sweet, younger brother, I will now take you under my wings.
Yoonhwa
because you'll be 30 soon, 30 Yoongi, that's old and we need to preserve our bodies so we look young until we're 60 even 70.
Yoonhwa
and right now you look...you're dressed like you're in your forties, babe.
Yoongi
what? really? but I thought...
Yoongi
I thought it looked great.
Yoongi cover his mouth as he looked down at himself, did he really look like a 40 year old?
Yoongi
people even told me I looked nice.
Yoonhwa laughs and turns away from Yoongi taking a seat in one of the stools.
Yoonhwa
ah, you're so naive it's almost cute.
Yoongi
I've been dressing like this since the past month or so, why didn't you say anything.
Yoonhwa
I..I've only seen you in this today, I've been leaving the house at like 5 am and when I get back you're already asleep so I never saw you much.
Yoonhwa
and I don't know whats going on with you anymore. tell me what's up.
Yoonhwa, smiles as she puts her face into her hands waiting for Yoongi to take a seat next to her, which he does.
Yoongi
I..there's not much going on, I met up with Hoseok today.
Yoongi notices how at the mention of Hoseok's name, Yoonwha's smile falls and she turns away from him.
Yoonhwa
oh, he's back in Korea?
Yoongi
yeah, he came back late last night.
Yoonhwa
oh, that's.. that's okay...
Yoonhwa
I mean, that's great..
Yoonhwa
uh, what about your interview, tell me about that?
Yoonhwa smiles awkwardly as she still looks away from him.
Yoongi
You're acting weirder than Hoseok did when I mention your name to him.
Yoonhwa
weird? I'm not acting weird I'm just...I really want to pee and I didn't want to leave you while talking so finish.
Yoongi
if you wanna pee go, otherwise you'll pee all over mom's stools and you know she'll kill you before she kills me.
Yoonhwa
okay, fine but when I get back I want all the tea about you and that job interview.
Yoongi
yeah, I'll give you everything but it's not much.
Yoonhwa hurries to the bathroom, closing the door shut behind her, as soon as she does she grabs her hair, pulling at it before she lets out a silent scream.
she knew he would be back but not so soon, She shakes her head, as she tells her self that everything was fine.
Yoonhwa
Dont think about him. He's your Brother's best friend and you're best friend's ex, it's a no no, you can't even think about it.
Unconsciously, Yoonhwa's hands find her lips and the memories of the night she spent with Hoseok shortly before he left flood her mind.
the way he touched her, the way he kissed her back then felt so real, she felt something real, something she wanted to chase. she...
Yoonhwa
ahhh, stop it Yoonhwa!
She groans as grabs her hair again.
Yoonhwa
Stop thinking about him, he doesn't even exist anymore.
Yoonhwa
you probably won't even see him so just stop thinking about him.
She sighs as she stops thinking about him, she really needs to pull herself together..
Taehyung sits in his office, still going through the many paperwork he's had left as his phone rings. He picks it up and sees that it's Jungkook.
He sighs before he answers the phone knowing exactly what the other was calling about.
Taehyung
Listen, if this is about the marriage stuff then I'm gonna hang up.
Jungkook
You need to get here quickly, Your dad's in the hospital, he fainted at home.
Jungkook
Seoul Regional...
Taehyung
I'll be there quick, just wait for me.
Jungkook
yeah, drive safely.
Taehyung hangs up, he's shaking a bit at the thought that his dad is in the hospital. He stands as fast as he can thinking of what to do, There's too much going on in his head and he can't focus.
He takes a deep breath, calming himself down, he needs to be calm if he was going to make it to his dad.
Taehyung asks as he runs quickly up to Jungkook, who sat at a waiting seat looking distress.
Taehyung
what did the doctors say?
Jungkook
they said, he said we should come in when you get here so let's go.
Jungkook was about to walk away but Taehyung grabs his forearm, stopping him.
Taehyung
did they say anything regarding his health? it's not that bad is it?
Taehyung
do you think he's-
Jungkook puts a hand a Taehyung's shoulder, offering him support, Jungkook knows that this must be harder for Taehyung than it ever was for him, this was his dad, who he's had around since he was first brought into this world and as closed off as Taehyung tended to be everyone could see that he really did love his dad.
Jungkook
he's gonna be fine.
Taehyung sighs, telling himself to calm down, he's never once worried about his dad's health, he never thought about what he'd do once his dad wasn't with him anymore, he guesses it's because he doesn't want to believe that one day he'll have to go through this world alone without the one person who cares for him the most.
He lets Jungkook pull him into a tight hug, Taehyung clutches unto Jungkook seeking the comfort the other was giving him.
He doesn't like to admit it but he also doesn't know what he'd do without Jungkook either.
He pulls away quickly, before he dusts himself off and straightens his tie and Jungkook clears his throat, and turns away from Taehyung straighten his suit as well.
Jungkook
I'll keep my mouth shut.
Taehyung blinks at the younger a few time before he walks away, he stops when Jungkook calls him.
Jungkook
Taehy...Mr. Kim. you're going the wrong way, sir..
Taehyung closes his eyes, it's one level of embarrassment after the other.
Taehyung turns around and smiles tight-lipped before he scurries next to Jungkook, letting him lead him to his father's room.
A little under 5 minutes later they get to Taehyung's dad's room, the man sat up in his hospital bed a fond, cheerful smile was plastered on his lips as he stared at his two sons. They had grown up well under his care, he'll admit.
Mr. Kim
Hello my boys...{smile}
Mr. Kim
You guys are here rather quickly...
Mr. Kim
afraid I'll die too soon? {chuckles}
Neither Taehyung nor Jungkook laugh, Taehyung takes a defensive stance as he stared down at his clearly ill father.
Taehyung
What did the doctors say?
Mr. Kim
Not much, Just that there's a tumor in my brain.
Mr. Kim
I don't see why they wouldn't be...
Taehyung
tell them to run more test, this can't be true they-
The man raises his hand and gives Taehyung a serious look forcing him to stop ranting.
Mr. Kim
calm down, it's all going to be fine.
Mr. Kim extends his hands, signaling for them both to hug him, Taehyung and Jungkook look at each other for a second before they make their way towards Mr. Kim, both of them hug him lightly, afraid they'd do more damage.
Mr. Kim
you guys don't need to worry about me.
Mr. Kim
but, if something does happen, I'd really love it if both of you would get married before I die.
Jungkook
I thought you only wanted Taehyung to get married.
Mr. Kim
at first, I was trying to get Taehyung to marry first then I'd focus on you, but I don't know how much longer I have and I don't wanna die before I get to see you guys find the loves of your lives.
Taehyung
Dad, you'll be fine. I don't need to get married yet.
Mr. Kim
Please, I know you guys don't understand why I'm so obsessed with you guys marrying but I promise one day I'll tell you both.
Mr. Kim
I'll tell you just moments before you marry your beautiful brides.
Jungkook gets interrupted by Taehyung.
Jungkook gasps before he turns to look at Taehyung with wide eyes.
Taehyung
Jungkook and I will find ourselves brides, just focus on being healthy.
With that Taehyung leaves, without saying anything more. As he leaves the hospital room a groan leaves his throat. He really doesn't want to get married yet.
Soon after he stands in the middle of the waiting room, Jungkook joins him.
Jungkook
What are we going to do about this Marriage thing?
Taehyung
Get me a list of actors or anyone who's willing to pretend to marry me until dad di-...leaves us.
Jungkook
You're going to fake a marriage.
Jungkook
your dad wants us to marry for love and-
Taehyung
Love doesn't exist anymore Jungkook...
Taehyung puts a hand on Jungkook's shoulder.
Taehyung
it's only lust and want. save yourself from that delusion.
Jungkook just watches as Taehyung walks away before he sighs, and shakes his head soon after he follows behind Taehyung and leaves the hospital.
Call Me.. { Jikook}
Yoonhwa
Dad; I thought we agreed to drop this...
Mr. Min
no, I told you I'd find you someone by Friday and I did!
Mr. Kim exclaimed as he did happy dances in front of Yoonhwa, Yoongi and their mom.
Mr. Min
before you object, let me tell you who it is. His name is Kim Taehyung and he requested for a series of good actors and I might've lied a little and put that you were an amazing actor when I submitted the form
Mr. Kim scratches the back of his head and purses his lips as he waits for Yoonhwa to respond.
Mr. Min
listen, sweetheart calm down I-
Mr. Min
Meyoung do something..
Mrs. Min rolls her eyes before she stops unpacking ramens, leaving it to Yoongi. She turns to Yoonhwa and smiles as she speaks.
Mrs. Min
hun, I know you don't like what your dad's doing but just remind yourself that it's coming from a good place, he just wants you to be happy.
Yoonhwa
no, he wants money...
Mr. Min
I..uh..I actually want both...
Mr. Min giggles a bit, thinking he was making the situation better but when Yoonhwa glares at him his laugh fades and he moves away quickly, palming his neck awkwardly.
Yoonhwa
but I won't be happy if I marry someone who I don't love..
Yoongi
but what if you fall in love with that person?
Yoongi doesn't know why he opened his mouth, but the moment Yoonhwa's eyes meet his he regretted saying anything.
Mrs. Min
No, dear. Yoongi's right. you could fall in love
Yoonhwa
no, it's unrealistic.
Mrs. Min
not necessarily, now stop complaining and help us cook all these noodles before the customers start coming.
Yoonhwa sighs in defeat and grabs one of the aprons before she joins Yoongi over to the corner and helps him unpack the bags of noodles.
She rolls her eyes as he whispers an apology.
Yoonhwa
why would you even say that?
Yoongi
I don't know I just-
Yoongi tried to whisper back but before he's able to finish, Mr. Min interrupts him.
Mr. Min
Oh, Yoonhwa..here.
He smiles at her for a second before he hands her a paper, she looks at it before she grabs it and glares at Mr. Min, shaking her head.
Mr. Min pats her head before he steps away and makes his way out of the building, happily.
Yoongi stares at Yoonhwa confused. she was smiling. why?
Yoongi
Why are you smiling? I thought you didn't want to do this.
Yoongi
but if you don't dad's gonna be pissed
she smirks as she stares down at the number on the paper her dad gave her, then she looked up at Yoongi, with a soft, mischievous smile.
Yoongi
Why are you looking at me like that?
Yoonhwa
What do you think about wearing a wig?
Jungkook packs up his office as neatly as he could before he grabbed the list of women he had put together for Taehyung. He had gotten so many emails of people who wanted to have a date with Taehyung. He knew there would've been alot but he thought that the most they'd get was fifty thousand response, but he never guess that it would actually be one hundred and seventy thousand responses, that was just too much but being Taehyung's assistant, he'd have to make sure he sorted it all out and now he's gotten the top 30 lesser known actresses, (or in training actors), he thinks Taehyung would like.
He steps into Taehyung's office boldly, not bothering to knock, something he knew Taehyung always preferred. The older looked up at him and pulled his glasses off before he stood and made his way around his desk. He leaned against it and folded his arms before he narrowed his eyes at Jungkook confusedly.
Taehyung
I thought you'd have left already..
Jungkook
I am leaving now, but I came to give this to you.
Jungkook
It's 30 women who you're suppose to meet with tomorrow. so don't be late.
Taehyung
you got all this put together in just 72 hours?
Jungkook
yeah, it was hard but it'll be worth it if you give me a raise.
Jungkook winks at the older man who raises an eyebrow before he shakes his head.
Taehyung
You're one of the highest paid workers in the whole country, you don't need a raise any time soon.
Jungkook
I mean, it couldn't hurt.
Taehyung
You're not getting a raise.
Taehyung let out sternly making Jungkook rolls his eyes.
Jungkook
Fine, I'm gonna go and leave you to look through those 30 girls. If you don't want to marry any of them, then I'll list another 30 and give them to you.
Taehyung
okay, but what about you?
a confused expression is raised on Jungkook's features as he points to himself, staring before him at Taehyung.
Taehyung
yeah, aren't you gonna pick one too.
Jungkook
I'm..uh, I'm going to try and find someone I actually like.
Taehyung
oooh, Jungkookie is looking for romance~
Jungkook chuckles and rolls his eyes before he continued walking away.
Jungkook
I'll see you at home.
Taehyung watches as Jungkook steps through the door. After he does, Taehyung picks the list of girls up, there's a photo of each of the girls. All of them were extremely beautiful and had decent enough education and jobs but he still hated the idea of meeting with so many people; he can't deny that one girl in particular was prettiest he'd ever seen.
He sighs and drops the papers behind him before he leans off the desk and makes his way back over to his laptop.
Jungkook doesn't usually drive at night, he hates it but today it was unavoidable as he wanted to make sure he finished the fake dates for Taehyung.
He was doing it mainly for Mr. Kim, he didn't know the exact reason as to why Mr. Kim wanted both him and Taehyung to marry so quickly but Jungkook could tell it was really important to him, and for all that Mr. Kim has done for him, he'll be more than happy to finally be able to give back to the man, that took him in when he had no one, even if it wasn't much.
Jungkook yawns a bit causing his eyes to water, he blinks a few time trying to get rid of the blurriness of his eyes, but before they let up he feels a jerk and a collision is heard.
Jungkook sighs and restrains himself from hitting his steering wheel. He's glad he wasn't speeding otherwise this could've been way worse.
He shakes his head before he steps out of the car to make sure that whoever he collided into was not hurt too bad.
Getting out of the car, he sees a shorter male bent down inspecting the damage of his car as he shouted various curse word, clearly angry.
Jungkook
Hey, I'm sorry about all this I was-
The guy stands quickly and then turns around with attitude, clearly angry. Jungkook braces himself for whatever this guy was going to say to him.
Jungkook narrows his eyes when the guy freezes, He just stares at Jungkook with wide eyes before he cleared his throat and soft smile formed on his luciously plump lips.
Jimin
Oh, it's fine. I'm Park Jimin...
Jungkook stares at the man confused, what just happened? he swore the guy was gonna let him have it, he looked so angry before.
There's a smirk on the guy's face as he stared up at Jungkook, and he strikes a confident pose despite his small size.
Jungkook
I'm...I'm Jeon Jungkook.
Jungkook
If you just give me a minute I'll figure everything out and get your car fixed.
Jimin
no, no. that's fine. I'll fix it on my own.
Jungkook
but I'm the one who-
Jungkook stops speaking when Jimin places his fingers over Jungkook lips before he shushes him. Jungkook cocks an eyebrow as he stared down at the other.
Jimin
It's nor your fault, I should've driven faster but you know the car is actually running low on gas so could you please drop me home. it's not very far from here.
Jungkook looks at Jimin a bit skeptical. was this guy a scammer?
Jimin smiles brightly before he turns and starts moving swiftly to Jungkook's car, but before he could get over there, Jungkook pulls him back.
Jungkook
wait, I want to ask you some questions first.
Jimin shoots him a questioning look.
Jungkook
well, you're a stranger.
Jungkook
what if you're a thief, or a murderer?
Jimin
oh, I bet you'd like that {smirks} but no, I'm not a murderer neither am I a thief.
This guy just gets weirder and weirder, Jungkook thinks.
Jungkook
but I have no proof that you aren't.
Jimin
of course I do, Google my name.
Jimin
or search for my Instagram.
Jungkook
how will that help with anything?
Jimin smiles at a hesitant Jungkook, he can't lie. This guy was hot but he'd never expect him to be this paranoid and it was so cute to watch.
Jungkook's eyes widen as he stares down at his phone, what the hell?
he's standing before a celebrity??? and acting like this??
Jungkook looks at the photos that Google had available before he looked up at Jimin who was smiling up at him. It was actually.
Jungkook
You're a...a model?
Jimin
yep, number 1 in Korea.
Jungkook
that's...that's amazing.
Jimin
I know, it is but I'm a little disappointed you didn't even know who I am.
Jimin pouts cutely and Jungkook rubs the back of his neck.
Jungkook
I..I'm not really big on pop culture so that's why...I'm sorry though.
Jimin
hey, no I'm just messing with you. I'm actually glad you didn't know who I was, it feels nice to not be recognized sometimes you know.
Jungkook
I can imagine being famous comes with a lot of stress.
Jimin
yeah, it really does and though I love talking to you already we should probably get going or else we'll get hit by a car soon.
Jungkook chuckles, but he knows it was true. The cars were passing right behind him and he hasn't gotten married yet so he can't die right now.
Jungkook hops into his car before he leans over and opens the passenger side for Jimin.
Jimin
oh, do you open doors for everyone or just me?
Jungkook says, more of a question than a statement.
Jimin
nice, I like that. let's keep it that way.
Jimin puts his seat belt on before he runs a hand through his long hair, a confident smile raised on his lips.
Jungkook
so where am I taking you?
Jungkook asks as he starts the car, his eyes planted on Jimin as he does.
Jimin
I was planning on staying at a hotel called Manila, on my GPS it was about 45 minutes away.
Jungkook
oh, I've been there before. it's actually not that far away from where I live.
Jungkook lets out before he pulls out into the road and starts driving. Jimin looks back at his car with a sigh before he turns around and responds to Jungkook.
Jimin
really? thats great. I was worried I'd be taking you out of your way.
Jungkook
it's fine, at work for the most part all I do is drive my boss around.
Jimin
are you a chauffeur?
Jungkook shakes his head.
Jimin
hmm, that's a bummer. if you were I'd hire you to be my personal taxi.
Jungkook gulps a bit as his throat tightens, all of a sudden the car was hot, he quickly winds his window down not noticing the smug smile plastered on Jimin's plump lips.
Jungkook
well I..I'm the assistant of the CEO at Seoul Arts and Tools.
Jimin
oh, really? you know before I left the US my manager told me that company wanted me as an ambassador.
Jungkook
oh, are you gonna accept the offer?
Jimin
I dunno, do you want me to take it?
Jimin
you work their, don't you? Is the work environment good? how's the CEO?
Jungkook
uh, well. it's all good. the workers are really friendly Chairman Kim is really adamant about that and CEO Kim, he's a bit much but he's searching for a wife so he'll soon calm down.
Jimin
mmh, and what about you? if I take it how often will I see you around?
Jungkook freezes at that question, it makes his heart skip a beat. was this guy flirting with him?
Jungkook
I...uh...I {clears throat} I don't know, not that often I'd assume. most times I'm in my office or Mr. Kim's or I'm with him whenever he has business to do outside of the office.
Jimin
oh, okay. well then I guess you'll just have to make time for me, right?
Jimin chuckles as he stares over at Jungkook, who tries his hardest to not stare back at Jimin.
Jungkook
{laughs nervously} yeah, right.
And so the rest of the drive continues, Jungkook getting flustered for reasons he can't even begin to explain, but it wasn't his fault, he'd like to blame Jimin for being so shamelessly flirtacious and confident. he doesn't know why but it's lowkey attractive.
Jungkook
This is your stop?
Jimin
and thank you so so much, and I'm sorry.
Jungkook
Don't mention it, it's the least I could do for bumping your car, I'm just glad you weren't hurt.
Jungkook
and you don't need to be sorry about all this, it's my fault for crashing into you.
Jimin
I know it's your fault {giggles}...but that's not what I was apologizing for...
Jungkook
Really? then what are you apologizing for?
Jimin
for lying about my car, my tank was full, so I could've easily driven it here.
Jungkook
wait, so why ask me to drive you here?
Jimin
is it not obvious why?
Jimin cocks his head with a smug smile.
Jungkook
well, no. not really.
Jimin shakes his head before he pats Jungkook's head, softly.
Jimin stretches his hand out, giving Jungkook some sort of paper. Jungkook eyes it a bit skeptical before takes it hesitantly.
Jimin doesn't answer, he just smiles and opens the door of the car and steps put before he looks up at Jungkook and says.
and with that, he closes the door and Jungkook watches the small man skip happily over to the Manila Hotel. A smile creeps onto Jungkook's face as he watches him disappear behind the walls of the building.
Jungkook's smile drops at that thought, cute? jimin? what the fūck was wrong with him? he can't say that about another guy? it's creepy? isn't it? Jungkook groans before he looks down at the paper Jimin left with him. It was a number.
was it Jimin's number? why would he-
Jungkook sighs and throws the paper in the backseat. It didn't matter why Jimin wanted to call him because he wasn't going to. He smiles at that. yes, he doesn't want to see that man ever again.
Gay Panic | Jungkook
Yoongi
Are you crazy? I'm not going to pretend to be you.
Yoonhwa
but its partly your fault...
Yoonhwa
You're the one who dumbly said that I could fall in love with whatever dweeb I'm suppose to meet tomorrow night.
Yoonhwa
well, now mom and dad have the idea that if I go on this date then I'll fall in love. thanks to you.
Yoongi
I'm sorry, that's not what I was trying to do but I can't go on this date for you. I'll do anything else.
Yoonhwa sighs loudly and dramatically before she plops onto her bed. another deep sigh leaves her lips and Yoongi rolls his eyes, knowing exactly what she was doing.
Yoonhwa
I guess I'll have to call my boss and tell him I won't be able to make it to that party tomorrow night, and I could probably talk my way into a promotion but I guess now that I'm going on that date I can just kiss all that goodbye.
Yoonhwa
I'm not doing anything.
Yoonhwa sits up and looks into Yoongi's eyes with sad and upset eyes.
Yoongi
you know exactly what you're doing.
Yoonhwa
Yoongi, its just one night. all you have to do is act like a slob and then whoever it is will not want anything to do with Min Yoonhwa.
Yoonhwa
how won't it? we're literally identical.
Yoongi
yeah, but you're a girl and I'm a boy... I'm a man.
Yoonhwa
which is why you'll wear my clothes, my wig and makeup.
Yoongi
you really thought this out, didn't you?
Yoonhwa
yes. I think everything out.
Yoongi goes to walk out of their room but Yoonhwa stops him.
Yoonhwa
can't you do it, just this once.
Yoonhwa
I'm tired Yoongi, I'm just begging you to this for me. I've been doing this for almost 5 years now Yoongi...
Yoonhwa
all I'm asking is for you to take all that stress from me for just one day, can't you do that for me?
Yoongi sighs, he hadn't thought about how hard it must be for Yoonhwa to be getting forced to go on all these dates with countless different men just for cash.
He wonders when his dad would stop, when he'd realize he was only hurting Yoonhwa by doing this, it doesn't really seem like he cared.
Yoongi
I'll do it, but just this once.
Yoongi nods and smiles a bit, Yoonhwa runs towards him and tackles him into a tight embraced. Yoongi groans a bit before he chuckles.
Yoongi
stop, I don't like hugs.
Yoonhwa
you love them. shut up.
Yoongi tries wiggling out of her grip but fails, he's glad when there was a knock on their room door so she had to let him out of her death grip of a hug.
Mr. Min
dinner's almost ready. come down quick.
Yoonhwa
uh...actually, of you guys don't mind. Yoongi and I will be going out to eat today.
Mr. Min
oh. okay. enjoy yourselves then.
Yoongi waits till he hears the footsteps depart before he asks.
Yoongi
we're going out to eat?
He lights up at the thought,
Yoonhwa
no, we're going to buy you clothes.
Yoonhwa
as a thank you for doing this. I'll by you clothes that make you look sexy.
Yoongi
I don't wanna go shopping.
Yoonhwa
really? well too bad. get your shoes.
Yoongi rolls his eye but nonetheless, he goes and looks for his shoes before he slips them on.
Yoongi fakes a smile as Yoonhwa grabs his hands.
Yoonhwa
oh, cheer up. it's gonna be fun.
and lets Yoonhwa pull him out of the room and down the stairs. Their parents bid them farewell before they leave and walk to the store.
Yoongi
you need to get a car.
Yoonhwa
I'm trying, but I need to make more money first.
Money was really hard for his family to find these days, sometimes he gets why Mr. Min wanted Yoonhwa to get married to a rich guy so bad.
Yoongi
then if you're trying to save then how are you gonna buy me clothes?
Yoongi
shouldn't you save that money too?
Yoonhwa
don't worry about that, just let me do something nice for you.
Yoongi sighs, he doesn't see how he can convince her to just save the money instead of using it on him, because one thing they did have in common was stubborn they both were, and she was even more stubborn than he was, and to make it worse she was persuasive and determined all in one.
But it also was a good quality to have, it's what help her get what she wanted, he swears he's never seen her want something and not get it. most times it impressed Yoongi if he's being honest.
Yoonhwa
There's the store, let's hurry. It closes in an hour.
Yoongi
we should've come another day when it's not almost night.
Yoonhwa
is there anything you don't complain about?
Yoongi rolls his eyes and bumps Yoonhwa lightly, making her stumble a bit dramatically.
Yoongi
You're so extra. {giggles}
Yoonhwa
someone needs to be.
Yoonhwa
now, look around. what do you want to buy?
There was so much stuff, how was he even supposed to choose? he sighs before Yoonhwa pulls him further into the store. shopping really wasn't Yoongi's thing.
Taehyung lays in his bed, staring up at the ceiling. He's trying to sleep before going off to bed but he can't. He keeps thinking about how he'd soon have a wife, a fake one. but nonetheless, a wife.
Growing up, Taehyung had never seen marriage in his future, he still doesn't. He didn't understand love, He thinks it's a dangerous thing, he imagines that being in love felt amazing but it also left you vulnerable.
It makes you blind to things you should be able to see, whoever you give your undying love to could easily stab you in the back, can do vile things to you, hurt you so badly and still you'd never be able to hate them.
They'd still have your heart, even if you tried to take it. So yes, you could Taehyung's scared of that, he doesn't want to be deceived or taken advantage of, so he'd rather stay as far away from love as possible.
He turns in his bed and clutches the cover tighter before closes his eyes. He wants to sleep so badly but his mind was too crowded.
A couple minutes later, when he finally starts dozing off, Taehyung's phone ring startling him fully awake.
He blinks for a few seconds before rubs his eyes, then he picks up his phone and answers it quickly not checking who it was.
Doctor Lim
Is this Kim Taehyung?
Doctor Lim
okay, wonderful. I am just calling to let you know that you can come and get your father. He's free to be discharged anytime you may be available.
Taehyung
oh, uh...okay. I will get him as soon as possible.
Doctor Lim
okay. have a good night.
Taehyung
you too. and thank you.
Taehyung hangs up and runs a hand over his face, he couldn't drive like this, he was way too tired.
Jungkook paces around his room as he bites his lips, why is he freaking out? well probably because everytime he lays down and closes his eyes he sees the same man he saw just hours ago.
Jungkook
why can't I forget him?
Jungkook doesn't know why he feels like this, but he doesn't like it. He just wants to stop thinking about Jimin so he can go to sleep.
Jungkook
why did he even want me to call him?
Jungkook
why was he flirting with me?
Jungkook keeps questioning.
a gasp leaves his lips as he starts panicking more.
Jungkook
Oh shīt. Does he think I'm gay?
Jungkook
oh my gosh, he thinks I'm gay.
Jungkook takes a seat on his bed, freaking out. It's not that big of a deal but to Jungkook it is, because HE IS NOT GAY! He likes women. really pretty women...
Jungkook
when's the last time I've been attracted to a girl?
Jungkook can't remember, oh this was bad? wasn't it?
Jungkook
it's not bad, just because you haven't been attracted to any women recently doesn't mean you're gay.
Jungkook screams before he stands up from his bed almost immediately, when the fūck did Taehyung even get into his room.
Jungkook
And I am not gay!
Taehyung
geez calm down, if you're not then why are you being so defensive.
Jungkook
I'm not defensive, I'm absolutely calm!
Taehyung
anyways, we need to go get dad from the hospital and I need you to drive.
Jungkook
he's being discharged?
Taehyung
yeah. and you know how grumpy he is at night so we better go.
Jungkook
what'd you mean for what? I can't go out in pajamas.
Taehyung
why not? it's almost 1am.
Taehyung
no one's gonna see you, now come. we need to go!
Taehyung
well, I am your boss.
Jungkook
not right now, you aren't.
Taehyung throws Jungkook the keys to his car, making Jungkook look at him all weird.
Jungkook
why are you giving me your car keys?
Taehyung
because your car is awful and bussed down. I don't wanna drive in it.
Jungkook
why are you so mean? that should car is what gets me to work everyday, thank you very much.
Taehyung
still doesn't mean it's not awful and bussed down.
Taehyung
why don't you just buy a new one, you have the money.
Jungkook
I don't need a new one so why would I buy.
Taehyung
have you seen your car? I'm not one to judge but kook, that's not it.
Jungkook
You're not one to judge? you judge me all the time.
Taehyung
yeah, but...still...
Taehyung
anyways, let's go. dad's waiti-
Taehyung
omg, is that your-
Taehyung faces grows to one of excitement as he stomps into Jungkook room trying to get sketchbook he saw on Jungkook's table. He hasn't seen it since they were about 14 years old but he doesn't get to grab it because Jungkook grabs him by the shoulders and turn him around, then he pushes out room.
Jungkook
shut up, as you said. your dad is waiting.
Taehyung
I could punch you right now, how many times have I told not to tell me to shut up.
Jungkook
why? cause it hurts your feelings?
Jungkook
Oh my, I'm so sorry.
Jungkook turns Taehyung around to face him before he wipes his fake tears, with a pout.
Jungkook
oh Taehyungie, you look so ugly when you cry.
Taehyung
and still I look better than you.
Jungkook grips his heart dramatically, as he stares at Taehyung with disbelief.
Taehyung
oh, I can be meaner.
Jungkook
that's amazing but don't we have to go.
Taehyung
oh shit, right. you know you're not the best company to have around.
Jungkook
I could say the same thing about you, everytime we're together I end up late.
Taehyung
okay, let's both shut up for a minute.
Taehyung
we need to go. okay. let's not talk until we're in the car.
Taehyung
should we go together or separately.
Jungkook
why would we go separately?
Taehyung
I don't know, to avoid talking?
Jungkook
I dunno know, do you really think we would talk if we're together?
Taehyung
I think we're mature enough to-
Taehyung pauses as he realizes they still haven't moved yet.
Taehyung
okay yeah, we're not mature enough so you go first and open the car up and I'll come in like a minute.
Jungkook
damn, this is way more complicated that it needs to be.
Taehyung
I know but alas, we must.
Jungkook
who speaks like that??
and with that Jungkook runs to away from the passage that lead to their rooms and then down the stairs and put of Taehyung's view.
Taehyung smiles a bit, it's been quite a while since he's hung out with Jungkook, it was nice talking to him just now.
Taehyung sighs, there's been one thing on his mind since he left Jungkook's room, the sketchpad. Why did Jungkook suddenly hide it away after sometime.
He moves down the passage way and looks over the railing to see if Jungkook was still inside the house, When Taehyung is sure he isn't, he moves swiftly to Jungkook's room and runs over to his desk. picking up the sketch pad as fast as he could before he runs to his own room and throws the book underneath his bed.
He'd put it back tomorrow, he just wanted to know why Jungkook was hiding it from him, Jungkook never hides anything from him so why would he hide this?
He tries not to ponder too much about it and just leaves as quickly as he could
Jungkook
and just know that if I'm gay, then you are too.
Taehyung
goddamn, are you still thinking about that?
Taehyung
maybe you really are gay..
Taehyung chuckles and pushes Jungkook a bit. who glares it him.
Taehyung
why are you even so concerned about not being gay all of a sudden?
Jungkook
I...I don't...I'm...
Taehyung
wait did you kiss a guy?
Jungkook
I just met this guy and he.. I think he might think I'm gay...
Taehyung
did he say you were?
Taehyung
then why would he think he thinks that?
Jungkook
because he gave me his number...
Taehyung
and? a guy can't give another guy his number now?
Jungkook
no, that's not what I'm saying. I just...he was flirting with me.
Taehyung
I flirt with people all the time and I'm not gay.
Jungkook
how are you so sure you aren't?
Jungkook
wow, that's real convincing.
Taehyung
where did you meet this guy?
Jungkook
I crashed into him..
Taehyung
what? why didn't you say something?
Jungkook
I didn't want to worry you for nothing.
Taehyung
how is you crashing your car nothing. you could've gotten hurt.
Taehyung
maybe you are, how can you be so dumb?
Jungkook
See, this is what I'm talking about. You're overreacting.
Jungkook
yes you are, I'm perfectly fine. it was just a bare touch. nothing that big.
Jungkook
no buts, I'm fine.
Taehyung sighs and shakes his head.
Taehyung
what did the guy say
Jungkook
nothing, he said he'd fix the car himself.
Taehyung
what? why? what'd you say?
Jungkook
nothing, he just said it was his fault for not driving fast enough.
Taehyung
oh shit, he definitely likes you.
Jungkook
but he shouldn't.
Taehyung
then why are you freaking out.
Taehyung
maybe you're bisexual
Jungkook
I'm not, why would I suddenly be bisexual after seeing him. I've seen so many male models like him and I've never felt anything so, I'm straight.
Jungkook
he said he got a request from Seoul Arts and Tools to be an ambassador.
Taehyung
yeah, dad likes his modeling so he told me to get him as an ambassador so I sent a request.
Taehyung
he's the guy who's making you question you're sexuality?
Jungkook
I'm not questioning my sexuality.
Taehyung
whatever, but if you end up gay then I won't blame you. he's really good looking, not as good looking as me but yeah, he's really good looking.
Jungkook
are you sure your not gay?
Taehyung
stop trying to make me seem gay to make yourself feel better.
Jungkook whines before he speeds the car up. Driving at 1am wasn't the best idea.
Yoonhwa and Yoongi say thanks for clothes have a little conversation then it ends.
Yoongi
We bought way too much stuff.
Yoonhwa
what? it's too little if you ask me.
Yoongi
these are six shopping bag. six!
Yoongi
You're unbelievable. but if you ever need the money I'll pay it back.
Yoonhwa
why can you never accept anything nice?
Yoongi
I don't know. I'm not used to it so it...it...nevermind.
Yoongi
I'm gonna take a shower.
Yoonhwa
yeah, I'll go grab a nap until your finished.
Yoongi nods before he grabs his towel and waddles over to his drawer then he pulls out a pair of clothes and runs off to the bathroom closing the door. He's not very fond of bathing in cold water so late in the night.
Yoonhwa taps her foot against the board of their bedroom floor, she didn't really have any party to go to tomorrow, it was all a lie and surprisingly it worked, but now she had to figure out what to do with her time alone tomorrow.
She runs a hand through her messy, damp hair before she groans quite loudly.
Yoonhwa
Maybe if I sleep on it something will come to mind.
Yoonhwa says to herself before she practically threw herself on the well-spread bed.
She picks phone up from underneath her pillow and checks if she recieved any messages. she received a few, but she wasn't really in the mood to respond to any right now so she just shut her phone off and placed back underneath her pillow before she closed her eyes, not even 5 minutes later she falls asleep.
