Episode 7: The Dilemma

Jungkook walks back to his tiny apartment, his mind still reeling from the conversation with Y/n.
The black card in his pocket feels heavier than it should, like it carries the weight of a decision he isn’t ready to make.
Later That Night – Jungkook’s Apartment
Jungkook stares at the ceiling, the soft hum of the city outside doing nothing to quiet his thoughts.
His phone sits on his bedside table, Y/n’s card beside it. He could call her. Say yes. His financial struggles would be over, just like that.
But at what cost?
He sighs, running a hand through his hair before grabbing his phone and calling the one person he knows will be brutally honest with him.

Taehyung’s Apartment – Video Call
Taehyung appears on the screen, eating a bag of chips. He squints at Jungkook.
Taehyung
Taehyung
Bro, it’s almost midnight. You good?
Kookie
Kookie
Yeah, just… needed to talk.
Taehyung
Taehyung
(raising an eyebrow): About?
Jungkook hesitates, then sighs.
Kookie
Kookie
Hypothetically… if someone offered to, uh, financially support me, in exchange for companionship—
Taehyung
Taehyung
(Choking on his chips): COMPANIONSHIP?!
Kookie
Kookie
Keep your voice down!
Taehyung
Taehyung
(grinning): Bro, you got a sugar mommy?!
Jungkook buries his face in his hands.
Kookie
Kookie
I haven’t agreed to anything yet.
Taehyung
Taehyung
Yet?! Oh my god.
Kookie
Kookie
Tae, focus! I don’t know if I should do this.
Taehyung
Taehyung
Okay, real talk. What’s stopping you?
Kookie
Kookie
I guess… it feels weird. Like, I should be making it on my own. Not relying on someone else’s money.
Taehyung
Taehyung
Bro. Be honest. Can you actually afford to keep struggling like this?
Jungkook goes quiet. The answer is obvious.
Taehyung
Taehyung
Look, I get it. It’s not the normal way to do things, but this isn’t some random person. She’s rich, powerful, and she chose you. That’s gotta mean something, right?
Kookie
Kookie
Yeah… maybe.
Taehyung
Taehyung
Just ask yourself—if you say no, what’s your plan
Jungkook stares at the phone, a strange mix of emotions twisting inside him. He doesn’t have an answer.
.....…...................
The Next Day – Jungkook’s Decision
Jungkook wakes up feeling no closer to an answer than before. He spends the morning pacing, the black card practically mocking him from his desk.
Then, his phone buzzes. A message from his landlord.
Landlord
Landlord
Rent is due in three days. Don’t be late again.
Jungkook exhales, his chest tightening. He looks at the card one last time before picking up his phone… and dialing the number.
Y/n
Y/n
Took you long enough.
