Jungkook glanced at his wristwatch and it was already seven o'clock. Jimin had asked him to wait in the office parking.

He was tired today. If it was a normal day, he would be either working in his office or resting at home. However, he had this useless party to attend and so, he got ready in his office and now was waiting for his friend.

Jimin had a habit of being late all the time, and Jungkook, who valued punctuality, was about to lose his mind. "This idiot is late once more. He is well aware that I despise his tardiness."

Jungkook tapped on the driving wheel while talking to himself. He turned up the air conditioning because he was getting heated from the fury he was trying to control.

Deep breaths from Jungkook and the car's air conditioner were the only sounds audible inside the vehicle. Apart from that, it was fairly quiet. He never put on some music since he detested noise, especially when the radio was playing. 

He waited impatiently for another five minutes before hearing a knock on the car window. Looking in that direction, he saw Jimin waiting there, grinning contritely.

Without giving a damn about turning off the car, Jungkook hurriedly got out of it. "Why are you running late?" He promptly queried.

"I was searching for a fake girlfriend for you. As if I have no other job." Jimin mumbled the last part looking away, which was audible to Jungkook.

"Ah, I see! Hello, fake girlfriend! How are you?" Looking to Jimin's right, Jungkook waved his hand in the air. There was obviously no one, which irritated Jungkook even more because Jimin wasn't being precise with his statements and was squandering the CEO's valuable time.

"Stop being sarcastic right now. She's on her way. I had to agree to pay double to make her accept this at such short notice." Jimin replied while glancing at his phone as if he had received a message from someone.

"I guess your girl is late, just like you—"

"Bro, that's your girl, not mine!" Jimin slashed him, proudly displaying his ring on his ring finger while raising his left hand. "If you've forgotten, I'm happily married."

Upon learning the obvious information, Jungkook rolled his eyes. Although he didn't mean it that way, he had no desire to retract his statements. Their friendship hardly needed any words, yet they understood each other's silence the best. Even though they offended one another, they couldn't survive a day apart, which is why they were so close.

They stood in the parking area for a bit, both of them were busy with their phones. Not long after, a taxi pulled near Jungkook's car.

Jimin grinned as he approached the taxi while waiting for the figure to emerge out of it. Jungkook, on the other hand, stared blankly in the same direction.

The door flung open and there appeared a beautiful girl wearing a black dress.

She stepped out and pulled down her mermaid dress from her thighs, and then looked at Jimin, shaking hands. "Hello! I'm Ara. Am I supposed to be your date for the evening?" She winked as she talked sensually.

Jimin coughed and withdrew his hand, moving slightly in his position as he felt a little uneasy. He turned around and glanced at Jungkook, who was staring at them weirdly. 

Jungkook's eyes were wide open and his brows raised amusingly. He couldn't believe his rental girlfriend was flirting with his married best friend. He was now certain that this girl, like the other girls he had encountered in the past, was a gold digger as well.

He examined the girl shamelessly with judgemental eyes, eyeing her from top to bottom. She certainly had a sexy hourglass figure, and the black mermaid dress with the flared hem she wore accentuated all of her curves.

The off-shoulder, short-sleeved dress enhanced her beauty by highlighting her long neck and beautiful collarbones.

The length was decent as the dress was midi length and it looked great with her black heels.

"Is he the one?" Ara spoke, feeling small under Jungkook's gaze. Her toes fidgeted but she stood straight, trying her best to appear confident.

Ara anxiously tucked a hair strand behind her ear. She bit her lower lip when she saw that Jungkook was now gazing intently into her beautiful grey eyes. Her heart began thumping abnormally. 

Numerous CEOs and wealthy businessmen had rented her, but she thought Jungkook looked best in the black suit.

He was dressed all black as if he made no effort in pairing his black slacks with some other shirt. His dress shirt, pants, blazer, and even his tie were all black. Ara was astounded by how handsome he appeared, despite wearing something usual.

"Can someone pay me if you two are done checking each other out? I need to leave." The driver's furious remark startled the two out of their reverie.

Ara coughed and mustered up some courage before speaking, "Mr. CEO, pay him."

Jungkook raised his brow, poking his tongue against his cheek. He never took commands from anyone, but this girl, whom he had just met, was already giving him orders as though he were her slave.

"Why shall I pay him if it's your ride? I'm going to pay you for being my girlfriend, not anything else." He inquired, voice coming out deeper.

Ara lost her calm at this statement. Before agreeing to Jimin, she only knew that she was rented for two hours by a CEO. Other than that, she didn't know anything. But she was under the impression that he must be a gentleman, if not anything. Jungkook here was being obnoxious and that was pissing her off now.

"Since the time I've reached, your time has already begun, Mister. So it should be you to pay him. Moreover, why should I pay him when I had to take a taxi for you? You should have come to pick me up and now when I'm standing in front of you, coming on my own, you are asking me to pay?" Ara spoke annoyingly, raising her voice to clear her stance.

Jungkook closed his eyes, breathing deeply before pulling out his wallet. He walked ahead and paid the driver. "Keep the change and get lost!" The driver happily drew off from there once he got the money.

"Is this the way you talk with people, especially the elders? I don't even know how people are working under you without getting annoyed every single day." She spoke, turning toward Jimin, who had his lips pursed tightly as if he was trying not to laugh.

This whole interaction was entertaining him. He didn't know this girl he randomly choose from this online "Rental girlfriend" app would be a tough girl for Jungkook. He took the best decision it seemed.

"I would have been glad if I had to be your girlfriend tonight, but I guess I don't have any other option than to do this. I'm getting paid double after all. Don't forget to tell your friend or boss to pay me decently. It's going to be 100,000 won." She spoke, glancing at Jungkook with a raised brow.

"I'll pay you 300,000 won for two hours. Just don't annoy me and act like a better girlfriend." Jungkook retorted.

"I surely will. I hope you know the rules. You can only touch my hand. You are not allowed to kiss me or hold any other part of my body." Ara informed, trying her best to keep her voice down to not push Jungkook's buttons. 

He was ready to pay her more than he should, so she decided to keep up with Jungkook's annoying ass for that evening. She would get free food as complimentary.

"I can't agree. I might have to hold your waist because we are going to act like a couple. Do you need me to pay more?" Jungkook inquired, folding his arms against his chest as he waited for the girl to respond. 

Ara nibbled her lower lip as she appeared to be deeply contemplating something important. She simply shook her head and gave Jungkook a quick glance. "No, it's fine. Just nothing more than that." She humbly informed, earning a nod. 

"I'll take my leave. Kook, please try and talk with Mister Kim tonight. You need to impress him." Jimin pleaded softly and nodded when Jungkook mumbled a small "okay." He bid goodbye to the fake couple and walked away.

"You! Sit in the car. We are already late." Jungkook ordered furiously and sat in the car first, waiting for Ara to do the same. 

"Gentleman, my ass! Can't even open the door for me and want to act as a couple." Ara mumbled under her breath as she walked to the passenger seat, stomping her feet like a child.
