"How about the girl I introduced to you some time ago, are you still dating her?"

Chorong just shrugged her shoulder, "Solar? No, that woman only knows partying and drinking. I feel like I'm just an ornament hanging on her arm."

Naeun leaned forward and asked. "Who's solar? Her name is Irene."

"Whatever, to be honest, stop playing matchmaker and leave me alone. It's hard to hang out with random women and honestly, I'm tired of them in general." Chorong spitted and Naeun remained unbothered of the glare Chorong was giving her.

"I'm sorry it didn't work out." Naeun said.

"Don't be. Most of the women I knew seems to be interested with and casual relationships and you know I'm already tired of that."

"All of a sudden? The last time I saw you was when you're making out in that bar we used to hang out. So who was that this time?"

"I don't know. I just saw her and I'm so..." Chorong took a deep breath and forced it out. "We didn't end up in bed okay?"

"Okay. Pretend that I believe you with that."

Chorong glared at her again. "Look. It's not like I'm thirsty for women. But this time I want something serious. I want someone in my life."

That statement rang into Naeun's ears.

"Who are you and what you did to my unnie?" Naeun even tried to check Chorong's temperature and even knocked Chorong's head in which she immediately got hit by the older girl.

"I'm still me. It's just that... whenever I go home to my empty apartment. I feel alone. I feel like I'm missing something."

"And that something is called love." Naeun stated proudly. "Ahh. I didn't know that word exists in your dictionary unnie."

Naeun started scanning her phone. "Right, I have few girls here looking for serious relationships..."

"NO!" Chorong panicked. She should have seen this coming.

Although she wanted something serious right now, she stopped believing that it even exists. It never happened to her and she already lost her hope that it will happen.

She used to believe on love. But after her life having any girls she wanted because of her attractive face and money, she already made herself stop on believing. Her mindset turned into a fact that someone will stick to her as long as they're satisfied.

Physically and Financially... But how about emotionally?

"Ah right. Here's a friend of mine. She's twenty eight years old... Stable job and from rich family..."

Chorong facepalmed and thought of something to prevent Naeun's matchmaking plan.

"You don't have to do that. I already found someone I wanted to be with."

"Don't pretend like you're not whining earlier that you don't have one unnie." Naeun eyed her suspiciously.

"Yeah but It doesn't mean I'm not seeing someone right now."

"So what's her name?"

Chorong was caught off guard. The truth is, there is no someone.

"Why do you have to know?" she countered, almost defensively.

"Unnie, do you hear yourself? Of course as your bestfriend I want to know her. So what's her name? Let me believe that someone of yours exists."

Chorong hung her head. "I'll introduce her to you one day. She's just out of town this week so..."

"Next week." Naeun suggested. Trying to ride on Chorong's sillyness of having a nonexisting someone.

"But..."

"I'll bring Eunji, lets have double date." Naeun batted her eyelashes as she often did to Chorong when she wanted something.

"Okay... But not next week. After Christmas. 26 or 27 ... Is that okay?"

"27 is alright. I'll talk to Eunji" Naeun stood up. "I need to go to her, want to join?"

"And be a third wheel? Hell no." Chorong answered immediately but when Naeun started walking away, she hurried to catch her.

"Wait. You're not planning anything right?" Chorong looked at Naeun straight on her eyes so she would notice if the girl's answer will be lies or not.

"No. Until I prove it myself that your someone doesn't exist."

"She exists."

"If you say so, then it will be the three of us and your girl... Promise." Naeun smirked at her and left. Chorong remembered how Naeun's attempts to find the perfect person for her had been a total disaster.

And now... She's been in trouble. How the hell she would have someone and introduced to Naeun as her girlfriend?!!!

-------

Chorong spent her day walking to a park. She's thinking of any way to lure Naeun that her imaginary girlfriend won't make it on their planned double date.

If she said they already part ways, Naeun will proceed to contact her friends to introduce to her. And that's a big NO.

Her someone extended the vacation? Hmm too suspicious since it's Christmas season. But possible.

Her someone is too busy... Hmm Naeun and Eunji impression on her someone would be bad. Like her someone is not really into her. And why does she's bothered about that so much when her someone doesn't exist?

She kept walking randomly, exploring the place like it's just her first time there when she saw an unusual banner.

Alone and lonely?
Rent a companion for a day.

"What a silly poster..." Chorong whispered to herself. Like who would stay with a stranger for a day. It's just nonsense.

Without caring to the poster, she continued strolling in the park when she saw an unusual booth on the corner.

There were a lot of people around it, with few entertaining their inquiries and such.

Her curiosity won over her that she headed on that direction and fitted herself with the crowd.

She realized that it's about the poster earlier and there's a
