Jungkook pondered if his own father and grandmother would one day stop trying to play a matchmaker for him. This was the third one already for this month and his patience was starting to run out. When his father gave him the ticket for this cruise vacation, he was threatened by his grandmother not to come home unless he's willing to date a woman. He already ditched yoo jung yesterday, the woman whom his grandmother set for him. Clearly, this was his family's way to let him know that they wanted him to get married soon
Jungkook sat silently with the boy he'd force to accompany him that morning. He really wished that this vacation will end soon so he could go home. The atmosphere within the diner was filled with couples who flirt and tease each other through whispers and murmurs that made his stomach churn in irritation. He already made up his mind yesterday that he will seek Mr Pancakes help so he could survive this disastrous vacation. He looked around making sure that yoo jung wasn't following him today
Taehyung looked at the man in front of him. He tried to escape earlier but failed as he found himself sitting across the weird stranger who keeps calling him Mr Pancakes
kim Taehyung
Do you need something?
Jeon Jungkook
I wish to discuss a deal with you
kim Taehyung
What deal? Can't you ask someone else? You see, you're ruining my vacation
Jungkook tilted his head in one side, his dark eyes staring at him making Taehyung uncomfortable on his seat
Jeon Jungkook
It's not like you have a boyfriend
Taehyung winced at his words, remembering his cheating ex-boyfriend. He didn't like this stranger and at the same time, he didn't want to be reminded of how stupid he was. This cruise vacation was intended for couples so it wasn't really surprising if they encounter and meet one while they were on it. Jungkook was shocked when he found out that Mr Pancakes were spending the vacation alone on this cruise ship
kim Taehyung
That's not of your business. I chose to be alone on this vacation
The tone of his voice made Jungkook regret what he'd said earlier. He wanted to seek his help and yet here he was, being a stupid guy making him sad. Mr Pancakes looked miserable right now and Jungkook mentally berated himself for being stupid
Jeon Jungkook
Mr Pancakes…
Taehyung glared at the man. He was contemplating how could he push him off the cruise or strangle him to death without anyone noticing his absence
kim Taehyung
What pancakes? I have a name, mister!
Jungkook stifled a laugh. This boy was surely different from the rest
Jeon Jungkook
What's your name then?
Taehyung hesitated and bit his lower lip. Did he really have to associate himself with this man?
Jeon Jungkook
Do you want to say what's bothering you?
They were practically strangers, what made him think that he will open up his problems to him?
Jeon Jungkook
Have you ever been on one of these cruises before?
Tae poked and played with the food he had on his plate. His appetite already gone because of this weird stranger
Jeon Jungkook
Oh? So do you have a boyfriend?
Well, if he was going to ask for his help, jungkook should know first if he was committed on someone or else... Taehyung stopped and wondered why he was asking. It wasn't like he was interested in him or something, right?
kim Taehyung
Not anymore. We broke up because he never used the right head to save our relationship
Jungkook resisted his desire to laugh. He knew it. He'd already had this assumption that Mr Pancakes ditched his boyfriend because of a third party
Jeon Jungkook
So I guess we're both stuck on this hell
Taehyung asked with a slight smile. It was weird feeling relaxed and at peace on his company. For someone like Jungkook who doesn't like to interact or to be near with others, it was already surprising to see him talking to a boy on the same table in a close proximity
Jeon Jungkook
Indeed. My family set me up with that woman even though they know I'm not interested with her
Taehyung snorted. Was this man so narcissistic that he couldn't see a beautiful human being aside from him?
kim Taehyung
Heh, who would like to date someone like you *muttered*
Jungkook almost fell out of his chair when he heard what he said
Jeon Jungkook
You don't know who am I, do you?
Jungkook asked, for if he did, he will have to stop and leave him alone. He didn't want another woman eyeing his family's fortune
Jungkook shrugged his shoulders before leaning his back on his seat
Jungkook looked calm and collected but his mind was screaming yes over and over. He didn't recognize him. Mr Pancakes truly didn't know who he is. He liked that he didn't know him. His company was like a fresh air that soothes him
Taehyung arched a thin brow at jungkook, wondering what was up with him now while Jungkook smirked internally. This deal with Mr Pancakes will be fun. Taehyung phone vibrated in his pocket. Taking it out to see who messaged him, Taehyung opened the message without reading the sender's name. His brown eyes blinked as he stared down at the screen of his phone
