Cannot Love You

Cannot Love You

Chapter 1

It's my second year at my company and my first time experiencing romance.
Then, one day, I suddenly find myself working at a temporary agency full of hot available men!
My days being surrounded by experienced hotties is even more intense than I could ever imagine
???
???
Your lips are so seductive and kissable.
He shows his true colors only to me. The more I get to know him, the more my heart yearns for him
???
???
Up until now, there was never anything I intensely wanted but I want you.
???
???
Are you ready for what is to come? I'm not going to hesitate to show my love for you.

Well, our interview is over. We'll contact you later with the results.
Mahiyah
Mahiyah
Thank you for the opportunity. Goodbye
I walk out of the company
Mahiyah
Mahiyah
*I guess today's company probably won't hire me either*
Last month, the company I started working went bankrupt.
Mahiyah
Mahiyah
*Having to find a new place to work sucks but I can't let myself stay depressed like this. Gotta be positive*
Thinking that, I check my watch
Mahiyah
Mahiyah
*Oh, I'm gonna be late*
Today I've plans for lunch with my friend Aera
Mahiyah
Mahiyah
*She'll kill me if i keep her waiting*
I head towards the place we decided on
And then ...
Mahiyah
Mahiyah
huh?
There, sitting at a table right beside the window, I see my old high school friend, Aera.
However, sitting across from her ...
???
???
.....
While seated, the good looking man's pleasant smile changes quickly to a grin
I gasp when I realise I was grinning back
Mahiyah
Mahiyah
*that guy is not her boyfriend, then, who is he? A new friend? But they don't look like "just" friends*
I arrive at their table just as the mystery man stands up. Standing in front of them, I attempt to speak to Aera in a slightly stern tone
Mahiyah
Mahiyah
Aera
Aera
Aera
Oh, look who's early
???
???
Oh, Aera, is this the girl you were telling me about?
Aera
Aera
Yep, she's my bff
Mahiyah
Mahiyah
*What's with this pleasant atmosphere? You've a boyfriend, don't you?*
Seeing how relaxed and casual Aera is, with this handsome man makes me feel like an awkward third wheel
???
???
N-nice to meet you
Mahiyah
Mahiyah
Nice to meet you too
???
???
Well, I'd better get going. See you later. Thank you for using our service today.
Mahiyah
Mahiyah
*using our services?*
Aera
Aera
Have a seat?
Aera asks, jolting me back to Earth. I had been mindlessly staring at that guy's back as he was walking out
Mahiyah
Mahiyah
Aera, what the heck was that?
Mahiyah
Mahiyah
I know you said you were fighting with your boyfriend but did you break up ?
Aera
Aera
Oh, no. We didn't break up.
Aera
Aera
The guy right now, his name is Jeon Jungkook
Aera then sets something down on the table. A business card with a picture of a glass slipper with the words "Boy For Rent" printed in red letters
Mahiyah
Mahiyah
What's this?
Aera
Aera
Have you heard of what they call "Boy For Rent". Well, to put it simple, it's an hourly dating service
Mahiyah
Mahiyah
Wait a minute, let me get this straight
Mahiyah
Mahiyah
That guy you were just with is a rental boyfriend?
Aera
Aera
Yep. The lady i know at work told me about it
Mahiyah
Mahiyah
so what happens is, you meet up with a guy you totally don't know and you go out on dates with him like a boyfriend, is that it?
Aera
Aera
Yep. And they offer other services beyond that, as well depending on the situation
Mahiyah
Mahiyah
Beyond that?
I turn speechless
Aera
Aera
Well, think about people who don't want boyfriends, but still want to go on exciting dates.
Aera
Aera
At least they can experience that sort of service easily for just a small fee
Mahiyah
Mahiyah
I see! So it's not because you broke up.
Aera
Aera
Sorry for worrying you
Mahiyah
Mahiyah
So, did you enjoy your date with your rental boyfriend?
Aera
Aera
Well, duh! I really got the professional treatment
Aera
Aera
He was a gentleman and such a good conversationalist
Aera
Aera
But I've realized that i feel safer by my boyfriend's side
Aera
Aera
So, tonight I'll make sure to apologise properly to him and make up for it
Mahiyah
Mahiyah
I'm glad for you
Aera
Aera
Well, I'm starving now
Mahiyah
Mahiyah
I'm super hungry too
Mahiyah
Mahiyah
Do they've any recommendations?
Aera
Aera
Yup, looks like there are two
Aera
Aera
Which will you get?
Mahiyah
Mahiyah
hmm
Several minutes later, a big fluffy plate of pancakes is placed right in front of me
Topped not only with the thickest, most luxurious whipped cream I've ever seen
but also rivers of maple syrup slices of fresh fruit, I can barely hold in my excitement
Mahiyah
Mahiyah
Wow! This looks delicious
After savoring the sweet, vanilla aroma, I dig in.
After we finish our amazing lunch we stop in front of a cute looking boutique
There, I transform from a stiff interviewee to a young lady on her day off
Aera
Aera
You're looking pretty
Mahiyah
Mahiyah
Thank you
I feel vibration in my pocket
After I apologise to Aera and pull out my phone, I look at the screen and see it's my uncle's friend
Kai
Kai
Mahiyah, thank god you answered.
Kai
Kai
Something terrible happened!
Kai
Kai
it's Soobin
Mahiyah
Mahiyah
Huh?
My uncle collapsed at work and was taken away in an ambulance
