Chapter 1:
A Beautiful Friendship

***

"Are you even hearing yourself right now, Kim Doyoung? You are being ridiculous. Stop this." Taeil said, pulling himself away from his friend's hold, and walked straight to the door of the private room they booked for dinner.

Jaehyun, the third person inside the room pretending not to see anything as he keeps eating and ignoring everything he isn't interested in – or he used to see the sight in front of him for him to care anything as this is a normal scene for him.

"Hear me out first," Doyoung said, running to the door to block his friends from leaving him without hearing his reason first. He had known Taeil for years and he believe that if Taeil listen to his reason, he might consider his decision back like he used to do.

"I don't want to hear your reason. Whatever your reason is I am not marrying you."

Doyoung stomped his feet, pouting at Taeil, "you are my only hope. You know this, you know how I feel when I stay with a woman alone for more than 5 minutes. I never lied to you about this, help me please, I am begging you."

Kim Doyoung, 26 years old, born in Seoul, moved to the countryside when he was 6 years old. He lives with his granny and since the rumour of him being the only heir of Kim Co. the largest food chain company at that time, he was being bullied and harassed by teenagers on the way to school every day. Kids in preschool saw it and thinking that its okay to bully Doyoung. 6 years old Doyoung at that time was so thin, couldn't form proper words without trembling and he close his eyes whenever he is scared or feeling that he was in danger. The tiny boy doesn't have any defense mood, he just let people bully him.

The bully is usually a girl – since then Doyoung develop a fear of young women.

Moon Taeil, 28 years old, lives in the countryside with his mom. Taeil's mom is a single mother, raising Taeil alone in the small village. She was a writer and she give all her talent to Taeil because the man has a very special way of talking. Taeil was taller than Doyoung when they were kids, he always saw Doyoung hiding his face in the bush every morning or after school. Tiny Taeil used to ignore it since his mom always reminds him to never talk to strangers but one day he saw a group of girls mocking Doyoung making the thin boy fall on the street and he bleeds his knee. Taeil offered help and since that day Doyoung always wait for Taeil so they can go to school together. Taeil was 8 years old at that time. Their school is only next to each other.

Taeil was Doyoung guardian since the start of his memory.

Jung Jaehyun, 25 years old, was born in America, he lives in the city and visited the village only during school break along with Taeil's sister, Moon Jinha. Jaehyun is friends with Jinha, he followed her to the countryside every school break, and sometimes when it's Taeil's turn to visit his father in Seoul, Jaehyun is as if he lives with their father. He was always there. Their friendship builds as simple as that.

The 3 young adults couldn't precisely explain how they become friends but they have been friends for 19 years. Taeil was 8 years old, Doyoung was 6 years old and Jaehyun was 5 years old.

Taeil sighed deeply. He had been spoiling Doyoung too much making the man think that he will agree with everything, as big as fake marriage because his mom wants him to marry a woman. Taeil sighed because he can foresee himself agreeing with Doyoung's crazy wish. It's always like that – but not happening this time. Taeil will dodge this stupid request.

"Jaehyun," Taeil pointed at Jaehyun. There is no change in Jaehyun's expression.

Jaehyun is a special case. Doyoung and Taeil know that if Doyoung offered a fake marriage to Jaehyun, he will accept it without thinking because Jaehyun's life is all about fun and trying. Jaehyun never date anyone in his life and never believed anything love-related or similar shit so Jaehyun is a good person to be Doyoung's fake husband. So, why Taeil?
