Chapter 5
Jimin
Here is an idea! Work with us!
Jimin
You're gonna be in the hospital for a while, Soobin.
Jimin
Which means, "Boys For Rent" will be without a manager
Jimin
won't that put a little strain on the business?
Mahiyah
You mean .. in place of my uncle ?
Mahiyah
*I wonder, would I even be able to fill my uncle's shoes? I'm not quite sure how capable I really am*
Taehyung
We can just fill in the gaps ourselves
???
I second Jimin's proposal
Taehyung
Not you too, Jin. You can't be serious?
Jin
Wouldn't someone from a different work background be useful in our situation ?
Taehyung
I guess so, but still
I realise that Jungkook is the only one who seems genuinely intrigued by it
He hands everyone their cups of water, then wanders over to the window and looks outside
Taehyung
what do you think, Jungkook?
Jungkook
Soobin should make the final decision, whatever it may be
Taehyung
That's not what we're asking and you know it
Namjoon
Well, Soobin. What's the verdict?
Soobin
I don't rhink I should be the one to decide. It should be Mahiyah
Soobin
Mahiyah; this might be difficult for you but I want you to immerse yourself in my world just once
Soobin
Mahiyah, ask your heart what it wants to do
My uncle asks, his face looking exactly the same as it did when he invited me to live with him when I was torn between moving to New York and staying in Japan
Mahiyah
I have no right to judge you because I don't know anything about your world
Mahiyah
I'll ... work for "Boy For Rent'
Namjoon
Mahiyah ... are you sure that's what you really want to do ?
Mahiyah
I don't know, but I think it's important that I give it a chance
There I am, standing in front of "Boy For Rent, a building on the corner of a residential street
I'm holding a "Boy For Rent" business card in my hand.
This makes everything more real to me and I'm so nervous that I can hardly breathe
Mahiyah
Okay! Let's do this
I say, as I entered the apartment building
Mahiyah
Huh? is that you, Kai?
Mahiyah
What are you doing here?
Kai
I help out here from time to time, whenever I'm free
Kai is a President of an IT company
Mahiyah
*that must have been why he called me first when Soobin collapsed*
Mahiyah
I guess we're going to be work buddies for a while
Kai
Let's work together as best as we can from today on
He escorts me over to the "living room"
