Rent-A-Girlfriend
"Yabai!" I whined when I got killed once again. Dammit! Why does everyone have to be so good at this game! I huffed and removed my headphones to stand up and refill my glass of water.
 
My phone rang and it's my Mom calling. "Kkura-ya!"
 
"Hey, Mom! Why did you call? Did something happen?"
 
"Ahh.. nothing, I just miss my favorite daughter so I decided to call you." I giggled at my mom's words before rolling my eyes.
 
"But mom! I am your only daughter~"
 
"Exactly. Anyway, I also called to remind you to go out from time to time. I know you spend most of your time playing video games, Kkura!"
 
"Ehhh. But you know how much I love video games, mom!"
 
"If you don't go out, I will take your computer." I gasped loudly when my mom threatened me. Although I am already a 26 years old woman, I am still afraid of her. My mom can really do that for sure!
 
"Ehh.. fine fine! Anyways, just call me if you need something else okay, Mom? I love love love you! I'll be visting soon." I chatted for a few more minutes with mom before finally ending the call.
 
I refilled my glass of water and grabbed a few snacks too before walking back to my gaming room. I placed my headphones back on and was about to jump into another match when I noticed a new tab opened. 
 
It has a really pretty background color. I think pink or something that can be associated as aesthetic. It's catchy too but what really caught my attention is the bolded golden letters printed onto it.
 
"Renteu Girlfriendeu?" I muttered out with my brows creased while staring at it. And without even noticing, I already clicked onto the sign up.
 
There is a two weeks trial which is free and so, I clicked it. I filled out the form and my brows creased a little. I don't think this is a scam though since it doesn't even require money and credit cards . Which is cool! It is the customer's choice though to leave a tip.
 
After filling the form out, the page changed and a bold golden letters spelling out 'Rules' was placed in the middle. I clicked it and I was redirected to the rules page.
 
Rule 1. Do not be attached to the girlfriends for they will only be yours for 24 hours.
 
Rule 2. If you wish to extend, you have to pay.
 
Rule 3. Do not disrespect/abuse/physically harm the girlfriends.
 
Rule 4. Physical Affections like Kissing, Hugging, and Holding Hands are allowed. Affections more than that must have a permission from the girlfriends.
 
Rule 5. You cannot request for another girlfriend while you still have a current girlfriend.
 
Rule 6. After 24 hours have passed with your current girlfriend, you will have a choice whether to extend, choose a new one, or delete memories.
 
Rule 7. Extends can only happen in the two weeks trial.
 
Rule 8. After the trial is over, your memories about the girlfriends will all be deleted.
 
Failure to follow any of the rules will result to a consequence. Please do enjoy!
 
Would you like to choose a girlfriend?

Chapter 5: Thank you for updating. All the girlfriends are so wonderful, Sakura loves them all. And thank you for putting the part of chaewon peeling orange. ;)

I noticed a trend, it going by age. From the youngest, and then skipping the next member that is older. So that would make the next girlfriend to be Yena. Or everything was just a coincidence. 😂

Chapter 4: WAIT NOOOO. THEY DIDN'T SAY GOODBYE TO EACH OTHER. MY HEART IS SHATTERING. This was such a light hearted and funny chapter with Sakura literally being a mood but no goodbyes... I can't imagine how Sakura will recover from that. Ahhhh this fic is so good

Chapter 4: looking back to look at the rules, i read it again and learned some things. you must 'pay' to extend your time with that particular gf, definitely not a very appealing option. but even though there are 14 days in the trial period, if you want to use the trial period to the full potential you would have to extend the period at least 3 times. at least i think so, it didn't say anywhere that they let you pick the same gf twice at a later time. i'm getting too picky about the rules, please feel free to ignore them, it wouldn't break my immersion if you do ehehehe.

nako was very considerate toward sakura. from making sure she eat properly, wondering if sakura is okay, and trying to cheer her up. it different from wonyoung and yuri, with how sakura being the one to initiate their date, it felt like sakura was more on the receiving end this time. nako also confronted sakura about herself, which is how we got to know a little bit more of sakura past.

Chapter 3: this fic is more angst than crack.
thank you so much for writing this, i really appreciate all of sakura ships, especially the underrated one. and considering how there no pattern to what sakura chooses, the next gf could be any of them. i'm also very curious about the 14 days but only 11 girls disparity, wonder what is going to happen. wonyoung was very adorable wanting to do things that she enjoy, she brings out the childlike innocence in sakura. with yuri they are trying to reach her dream, which is very sweet, while also being reminded that time is quickly running out. with 9 more girls, that mean we have 9 more abrupt partings. (ಥ _ ಥ)

i lol at chaewon and yujin expertise though. (∩^o^)⊃━☆
