Fake It Till You Make It
Description
In a thoughtless attempt to get his mother off his back, Hong Jisoo's first course of action was to lie to her. That involved bringing in his best friend, Yoon Jeonghan, who was more than willing to help. They've gone through everything together; now all they had to do was pretend they were in a healthy, loving relationship, and keep up the act long enough for his mother to feel contented. That wasn't so hard. After which, things will go back to normal, right?
Foreword
Words from the Author:
What am I doing writing another chaptered story while I still have a lot unfinished? Good question!
The answer to which is that none of my other stories are cooperating with me at the moment, but I still desperately wanted to just write something.
Jihan will always be the home I return to at the end of a weary day (Home.mp3 plays in the background) so here I am, giving in to my desperate want to write another Jihan fic with the idea of making it chaptered. I'm aiming to finish this one as soon as possible, which is what I always say, but I'm sticking with it this time.
The idea for this fic was born after I realized I haven't written anything that involved the fake relationship trope yet. I've also always been a er with best-friends-turned-lovers type of stories, and doing that for Jihan just felt like the way to go. Roughly inspired by pretty much every other fake relationship fanfic out there.

Story Information:
The story is set in an alternate universe where they're not idols, but that's pretty much the only difference.
Basics of how they look is blonde!Jeonghan and brunette!Jisoo. Other Seventeen members who make an eventual appearance will be described as the story goes. I have yet to figure out a seamless way for all thirteen to appear, so for now I can only say that Seungcheol, Junhui, and Minghao play bigger roles than the rest. Real names used, always, with Jisoo also going by Joshua. Purely because I am in love with the way Jeonghan says Shua.
Current chapter count, tentatively, is around 12 chapters. There's a very minor side pairing (Junhao), but not enough to play a visible role in the story.
So yup, main focus is really just on Jihan! I love them so much.

Graphics actually made by myself this time! Yay!
I'll probably get another one made once I finish everything.
