LOVE BY COINCIDENCE [TAEKOOK / YOONMINSEOK / NAMJINV ]
The More Money ︎𖤐
Hello. Thank you for clicking on my story ♡
Jungkook
*in his chauffeur car, headed to Sip of Love Café*
Jungkook rolls his eyes as he reads Taehyung's tweets and a few of the comments. Number 1 fan? Taehyung wishes and Jungkook rolls his eyes a second time before he goes to type a reply, but before he can,, he gets a call.
He sighs as he picks up the call and it was his Manager.
Mr. Soo
Would you care to explain why you're online picking fights with Kim and not at the café yet?
Jungkook
I'm almost there.
Mr. Soo
It's 8: 47am, I said to meet 8: 30 am sharp
Jungkook
What's 30 minutes late? I'll be there before you know it.
Jungkook hangs up the phone before his manager could lay in on him any longer, and he just shuts the phone off completely. He'd just ignore Taehyung, that was the best response, right?
Mr. Lin
I am on my way, just wait outside the café. I'll be there shortly.
Taehyung sighs, and he rolls his eyes before he leans back against the glass of the diner behind him, and he closes his eyes. He didn't sleep well last night
Jungkook
What are you doing here?
Taehyung's eyes snap open in response to the familiar voice, and he groans in annoyance. Out of all the places Jungkook could be right now, why was he here?
Taehyung
Are you stalking me?
Jungkook
I don't really care, I'm late, and you're blocking the entrance.
Taehyung blows out a deep breath,, and he shakes his head before he steps out of the way, so Jungkook could pass, and the other gave him an innocent smile as he slipped into the building and Taehyung just wanted to slap it right off his face.
Taehyung folds his arms, and he sees his manager walking up to him hastily.
Mr. Lin
Come on, let's go in quickly.
Taehyung follows him inside.
Once they were in, Taehyung's eyes immediately shoot to Jungkook, and they lock eyes for a second, neither of them locking away for quite a while.
Taehyung
What are we doing here?
Mr. Lin
We have major business to attend to.
Taehyung
What kind of business?
Mr. Soo
Ah, Seunggyo, How are you?
Taehyung watches the two men hug,,, and he then looks away from them when he notices Jungkook's eyes on him which makes him scowl.
Mr. Soo
Come, come take a seat.
The man invites and Taehyung expects his manager to turn him down, but to Taehyung's surprise, he doesn't
He looks at Taehyung, as if to say come and sit. Taehyung groans silently, but he does as he's told.
Mr. Lin
*sits next to Mr. Soo*
Taehyung
*sits next to Jungkook*
Jungkook
Bullshît. You guys are planning something, huh?
Mr. Soo
Jungkook, calm down and let us explain.
Mr. Lin
You guys are two of the biggest names in the modeling industry right now. So massive, but Soo and I think that you guys have the potential to be even bigger than you are now.
Jungkook
Just get to the point.
Mr. Soo
We want to take you guys to the next level, but in order to do that, there has to be a change. A massive change.
Taehyung
I'm not following.
Mr. Lin
We want you guys to pretend to be in a relationship.
Jungkook
Are guys high right now, or??
Mr. Soo
We all want the same thing, Money-
Jungkook
Actually, I'm quite loaded already, so I don-
Mr. Lin
Jungkook, could you listen for once.
Jungkook
No, why would I want to date him of all people?
Taehyung
*glares at Jungkook*
Mr. Lin
It increases your chances in the industry. If people think you are dating they'll go ballistic. Everyone will be asking questions, how did these two enemies turn lovers, two handsome dudes in a photoshoot together? everyone wants to see that
Mr. Lin
and when everyone wants to see something, shît sells.
Mr. Lin
Your 6 figure cheque could easily turn to 8 figures, maybe even 10 figures if you guys pull it off well enough.
Jungkook
*laughs hysterically*
Jungkook
I do not have time for this shit, honestly so, I think i'm gonna go.
Jungkook pushes his chair backward,, and it screeches against the tiles of the floor, making Taehyung glare at him and Jungkook smiles as he walks away.
Taehyung rolls his eyes and he drops back into his thoughts.
Was what they were saying true?
The money he had now was pretty good, but his mom... she... she was running it all down the drain, and he doesn't know how to tell her that he can't just keep supporting her weird habits anymore.
He's spending more than half of his pay cheque on her and then rest goes to rent and food and it's hard on him.
Mr. Soo
Would you be up for it?
Taehyung
Is... Would it really bring in more money?
Mr. Soo
Of course, it would, stuff like this sells Taehyung. If you can convince Jungkook, not only would you become number 1 and Number 2 biggest models in Korea, but you might even break into the top 50 on the global scale.
Mr. Lin
He's right, you're pretty popular globally, this would cement you into the fashion industry.
Mr. Soo
We'll handle everything, you just have to worry about getting Jungkook on board.
Taehyung
*under his breath* Like that's so easy.
Sure, he hates Jungkook and can't fathom the idea of spending so much time around him but the more money he had, the more his mom would love him so... he guesses it was a price he was willing to pay.
thank you for reading. hope you liked it ♡
Pyscho ︎𖤐
Jungkook
Could you give me some attention?
Jimin
*going over his dance routine in Jungkook's living room*
Jungkook
Frankly, I don't think it matters just sit your àss down and listen to me complain about my life.
Jimin
I do not want to hear about how much you hate, Taehyung.
Jungkook
That's not what it's about
Jungkook
Well, I mean not entirely.
Jungkook
Just sit down, would you?
Jimin
*stops dancing and he sits next to Jungkook on the couch*
Jimin
Fine, you should pay me for this.
Jungkook
I take you shopping like... every time we go out.
Jimin
Which is every other month, take me every day.
Jungkook
I'll take you tomorrow.
Jimin
Okay, now I'm listening.
Jungkook
So, remember how last night I told you that Tejin booked a meeting with me to discuss my schedule?
Jungkook
Well, that was a fücking lie
Jungkook
He and Lin Seonggyo had this stupid àss plan to somehow get me and Taehyung to date each other so that we can maximize our careers, essentially.
Jimin
I was not expecting that.
Jungkook
Like how could they even think that i'd do it? I mean, I hate Taehyung, and I don't wanna lie to people, so they spend more money on me. That's like... really fücked up
Jimin
I know it's wrong but aside from the lying being immoral, doesn't the idea of being in a fake relationship, thrill you?
Jungkook
*stares at Jimin with a weird look*
Jimin
But just think about it, running around with someone, and it's all casual, and then the whole world is rooting for your relationship, and they make these really cool edits of you guys and all the drama that would be surrounding your guys' names? Don't you think that'd be fun?
Jungkook
Uh... No, you freaking psycho. Why would you think that's fun?
Jimin
I don't know, i live a boring uneventful life of course shît like that excites me.
Jungkook
I told you to become a model like me, but you said no, so you're to be blamed for this uneventful life you're living.
Jimin
No, I wanna be a dancer. I know that for sure
Jungkook
Speaking of dancing, did you get accepted?
Jimin
I'm not sure yet, i should get the results between this evening and tomorrow morning so... I'm trying not to be too nervous.
Jungkook
You're gonna get in.
Jimin
*pacing back and forth, biting his nails*
Jimin
Do you know how many amazing dancers are in this freaking country? Thousands, i probably won't get in.
Jimin
And if i don't, it's fine. I'll just work at a local dinner, and i'll start saving to buy a house and a nice person's gonna come along, and then we'll start hitting it off, and then i'll find out that they're an amazing dancer who got accepted into TNUD and i'll get jealous and i'll ruin our relationship and i'll adopt a cat so i don't consume myself in the fact that i'm a failure... or maybe i should get like 5 cats so that they have company, or maybe 6 so that it's even and i'll pressure them into being great so that they don't end up a failure like me, and they'll eventually start hating me because I put too much pressure on them and they'll run away and then when i'm a ₩10000 short of buying my house, someone will break in, and they'll steal all that money and...and i'll get kick out of my apartment and i'll be out in the cold, buried under snow and just before i take my last breathe, i'll realize i wasted my entire life and now i'm dying alone and no one will even notice that i'm gone, and on my tomb stone they'll write "worthless dancer, gone and forgotten"
Jimin
*take a deep breath before he stops pacing and he sits before Jungkook again with a panicked expression*
Jungkook
*laughing at Jimin's absurdity.*
Jimin
Jungkook, I have to get into that school
Jungkook
I... How did you even get to that conclusion? And why am i not in it?
Jimin
*sighs* I need to get into that school.
Jimin
You really think so?
Jimin
You should do the thing
Jimin
Date Taehyung or Fake Date him, i guess, 1 he's hot, and it won't be boring. You're 20, you should be striving for eventfulness right now?
Jungkook
Why don't you date him?
Jimin
He doesn't even know me, if I had a chance, trust me. I would.
Jimin
And it's been so long since i've had any action like, am I getting ugly? back in the day everyone was all over me now it's like i'm declining.
Jimin
Maybe High School really was my peak.
Jungkook
I didn't wanna say anything but since you-
Jungkook
*smiles teasingly as Jimin slaps his shoukder playfully*
Jimin
You wanna finish that sentence?
Jungkook
No, No.... * laughs as Jimin starts pinching him softly*
Jungkook
It was a joke. Chill
Jimin
*stops pinching Jungkook*
Jungkook
ah, you really are a pyscho.
thank you for reading. hope you liked it ♡
Begging ︎𖤐
Jungkook
What do you want?
Taehyung
Could you drop the attitude? I don't want to be here with you either, you know?
Jungkook
Yeah, okay. I guess that's why you called me then?
Taehyung
Look, let's just do it
Taehyung
*looks away from Jungkook, embarrassed*
Jungkook
And what is "it"?
Jungkook
I do not, actually
Taehyung
What Lin and Soo said, let's do it.
Jungkook
You mean pretend to be boyfriends?
Jungkook
*laughs, after Taehyung nods.*
Taehyung
Can you take this seriously?
Jungkook
I can't believe this is why you asked me to be here.
Jungkook
Why would I want to date you?
Taehyung
It's just for pretend.
Jungkook
I don't care, i'm not going fool people just so that Lin and Soo can rake up all the profits, not to mention it's not very ethical.
Taehyung
I know it's unethical but I-
Taehyung
We have to do it, I don't want to lie to people but-
Jungkook
I don't care, I'm not doing it. If that's all then-
Jungkook
*stands and starts to leave*
Taehyung
You have to do it.
Taehyung
*stands and faces Jungkook's departing back*
Jungkook
*turns back to face Taehyung and he snaps*
Jungkook
I don't have to do anything, especially not something i don't want to do.
Jungkook
You've wasted enough of my time, so i'm gonna go.
Jungkook
Stop begging, you sound pathetic.
Taehyung
You don't understand, I need the money.
Jungkook
You make what? W250,000 per month, what more can you possibly need.
Taehyung
I... It's my mom... she...
Taehyung
She's sick and the bill, it's a lot. I don't know any other way to get the money in a fast time, so I just... I need you to help me.
Jungkook
*looks at Taehyung for a moment, before he leaves, not saying a word.*
Taehyung
*sits back down* *upset*
