Genre: BL Comedy / Fake Dating / Fluff / Chaos
Tone: Chaotic, hilarious, soft romance with crackhead energy and just the right touch of tenderness.
Jungkook Jeon, heir to a billion-dollar business empire, is about to be married off in a high-profile arranged wedding. Problem? He’s not even sure he believes in love—and definitely not with his stuck-up fiancée. One wild night at a bar, he panics and blurts out that he’s already dating someone.
Taehyung, the hot bartender with a sharp tongue, purple highlights, and zero patience for rich boy drama.
Now Jungkook has 3 days to convince Taehyung to be his fake boyfriend and survive a week-long engagement party under one roof with his nosy family. Taehyung agrees—but only if Jungkook plays by his very chaotic rules.
Let the madness begin.

A dimly lit bar in Seoul. Neon lights flicker. The bass from a half-broken speaker thrums through the walls. It’s midnight, and the bar is mostly empty—except for a man in a tux and a bartender with purple hair.
Jungkook enters, panting, tux half-unbuttoned, hair a mess.
taehyung
(behind the bar, not looking up)
You’re either running from a wedding or a loan shark. Either way, no blood on the floors.
jungkook
(gasping)
I need... a drink. And a new identity.
taehyung
(looks up, blinks)
Well damn. Didn’t know James Bond drank cheap whiskey and wore Gucci.
taehyung
You okay, tuxedo boy?
taehyung
You look like you ditched your own engagement party and escaped through a bathroom window.
jungkook
(blinks)
How did you—?
taehyung
(smirking)
Lucky guess.
jungkook
I didn’t ditch. I took an unscheduled emotional sabbatical.
taehyung
Cute. Whiskey or vodka for your breakdown?
jungkook
Whiskey. Neat. And maybe a tranquilizer.
taehyung
(pouring)
No tranquilizers. Just good ol' alcohol and sarcasm here.
He slides the drink over.
taehyung
So, why the dramatic exit? Cold feet or hot ex?
jungkook
(mutters)
Arranged marriage. My dad thinks business deals should come with diamond rings.
taehyung
Yikes. That explains the tailored trauma.
jungkook
She doesn’t even like me. She said I look like a ‘sad K-drama protagonist with abandonment issues.
taehyung
(snorts)
I mean... fair.
jungkook
(glares)
you’re a bartender. You’re supposed to comfort me.
taehyung
Nope. I serve drinks, not delusions.

jungkook
(sips)
God, I hate everyone. My parents. My fake fiancée. My stylist.
taehyung
What’d the stylist do?
jungkook
Gelled my hair like I was going to audition for a toothpaste commercial.
A beat. Jungkook looks around the bar, notices how empty it is.
jungkook
You own this place?
taehyung
(shrugs)
Yeah. Opened it last year. Welcome to ‘Barbarian.’ The vibe is bad decisions and worse music.
jungkook
Fitting. I’m making the worst decision of my life right now.
taehyung
What, drinking here?
jungkook
(leans forward)
No. Offering a stranger five million won to pretend to be my boyfriend for a week.
taehyung
(blinks. Loudly.)
.Come again?
jungkook
(dead serious)
You heard me. I’ll give you ₩5,000,000 if you fake-date me in front of my family. Just one week. Keep me from marrying some soulless heiress and becoming a human briefcase.
taehyung
Okay. First: are you drunk?
jungkook
Not enough to hallucinate this offer.
taehyung
Second: are you crazy?
jungkook
possibly. But rich. Rich and crazy.
A long silence. Taehyung looks at Jungkook like he’s either a psychopath or a sugar daddy with a death wish.
taehyung
(finally)
What’s the catch?
jungkook
You have to act like we’ve been in love for months. stories, maybe a kiss or two if someone gets suspicious.
taehyung
(grins)
Kiss? Babe, if I’m gonna be your fake boyfriend, I’m gonna ruin your family dinner.
jungkook
(blushes instantly)
W-what does that mean?!
taehyung
(smug)
