Mobster For Rent
Moderato
Sandara Park needs a boyfriend. And she needs to have one PRONTO!
"That stupid Bom!!", she thought as she marched out of the conference room. She will definitely deal with her good-for-nothing bestfriend later.
The moment she sets foot at the work area, everybody paused and stared at her teasingly.
"Miss Park, we heardddd itttt!!", one of her officemates called out in a sing-song voice. She just gave them a lopsided smile.
"We look forward to meeting him!!", they added.
Argh!
Dara entered her office and slammed the door shut. She paced back and forth while holding her forehead in frustration. She then looked at the calendar by her desk and groaned. It's already January.
Ottokae?!!, Dara slumped on her swivel chair and stared at nothing in particular. How the freaking hell will she find a boyfriend in a month?!
"OTTOKAE!!!", she half-screamed in annoyance while messing her hair. Bom entered her office with her hands on her waist.
"THANK YOU for ruining my life", Dara sarcastically said as Bom took a seat. At their conference meeting, her mischievous bestfriend announced that Dara will bring her boyfriend at their Annual Company Acquaintance Party which will be held on February.
"What's eating you?", Bom inspected her nails and totally ignored her. It took Dara's entire willpower not to morph into a giant green monster and swallow her bestfriend whole.
"Have you forgotten? I don't have a boyfriend!! Now the entire office is looking forward to meet my non-existent boyfriend!"
"Oh come on. I was obviously just joking back there. But I was surprised that you didn't deny it", Bom reasoned out and stared at her.
"Well..I..I"
"You want to show Donghae that someone is interested in you", Bom raised her eyebrows knowingly. Lee Donghae - her heartbreak. Dara became silent as recollection of events last December came crashing to her consciousness. Donghae is their officemate and is the Lead Technical Specialist. She likes him but he only sees her as one of the boys. Dara and Donghae are good friends and would often be mistaken as a couple but Donghae will always vehemently deny it. Just as he did during their Christmas Party where he said, "Dara and I are impossible. We're just drink buddies!"
"Hire a gigolo", Bom's voice slashed through her wandering brain.
"WHAT?!"
"I said, hire a gigolo. Or rent an . Pay him to act as your boyfriend during the party", Bom gave her a cheeky smile, placed the women's magazine on her table and pointed at a small ad. Dara stared at it.
Boyfriend For Rent, minimum of one month. With free one-day trial period.
Bom quickly ran for her life as Dara was about to throw the nearest desk ornament at her.
