Jungkook slips his hands into the pockets of his pants as he watches in amusement of the five people discussing just a few steps in front of him. When the girl, Chaeyoung turns around again and walks towards him, he perks up.

She says something, a lot of things, seeming very uncertain about it and Jungkook observes the way her brows move while she’s talking. He looks into her eyes when she looks up at him, and he almost smirks when she immediately looks down and he takes the time to shift his gaze toward her cute nose then down to her moving lips and damn, she is cute.

He does find her cute when she was drunk, but she’s even cuter when she is sober.

Not to mention, she really has a soothing voice. Like a warm tea with a touch of honey.

“Okay,” Jungkook says, exactly a second after she finished talking.

Chaeyoung blinks her eyes and stares. “What?”

“I said, okay.”

“That’s quick,” a shorter guy behind her says.

“Um,” Chaeyoung begins. “I’m not sure if you heard everything I said.”

Jungkook quirks a brow. “You want me to be your fake boyfriend and you want me to come with you to your ex boyfriend’s wedding and you’re willing to pay me any amount that I want.”

Surprise flickers in her eyes and her cheeks pinked. “Okay. Um. Well, you don’t want time to think?”

“Actually, I already heard everything while you guys were discussing earlier so I’ve thought about it already,” he says with a sheepish smile.

“Oh, well,” the taller guy who had approached him and Chaeyoung earlier says, “That’s settled, then. Isn’t that so easy?”

It’s a bit embarrassing to acknowledge how embarrassing it is that he doesn’t actually take days to think whether he wants to do it or not. But she’s offering money, and he’s in dire need of it at this moment or else he’ll be back home to his things already packed, ready to be thrown out by the grouchy landlady. Screw it, he thinks. He doesn’t have a lot of time. Wasting time is really the last thing he should be doing.

“I have a request, though,” he says rather casually.

The twinkle in her eyes almost makes him chuckle, although he has no reason to.

“Can I get the money today?” he asks. And then, the whole world goes silent.
