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.
taehyung
Brutal.
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.
taehyung
That’s worse.
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.
