"You look beautiful," said Taehyung and came near me. "Thanks, you look amazing," I whispered. His heavy cologne wrapped its fragrance around me, as he inched closer to me. His deep, intense gaze held a hint of mischief as he grinned. "Shall we?" "Sure," I gazed at his smooth, raven black suit contrasting with his permed, soft hair which rested on his eyelids. I shuffled behind him to his dazzling car, my mind spinning around in nervousness. Will his parents agree? How can I persuade them?

"Don't be nervous, Y/N!" assured Taehyung. I nodded, preoccupied in my own world. "Hey, I know you're mad at me," he said, and gestured me to strap the seat belt. "I'm sorry for dragging you into this, Y/N." "It's okay, it's not like you had any choice, anyway." I said, a hint of sympathy tinted in my sentence. The car ride was filled with a painful silence. "Here we are," Taehyung finally announced, pulling in the driveway of an exquisite mansion.

He got out and opened the door for me.
"Gentleman, huh?" I snickered. He smiled, "Aw, come on! We got a mission to carry out, a difficult one." He elegantly placed his hand on my waist and pulled me through. Quite a crowd had made an appearance. "I'll find them and then call you, alright?" he said, and gave me a quick glimpse of his boxy smile and departed.

The party was a formal one, which consisted entirely of soft music, and calm people. I looked around for Namjoon, and spotted him on the couch, looking absolutely handsome in his suit.

I scuttled quickly towards him. "Y/N!" he smiled, as if he was anticipating my arrival. "Joon, did anyone tell you that you look absolutely like a whole meal?" I said and giggled. "Oh my, yes I did get complimented quite a few times around here, but what's the reason you're flirting with me, miss?" he snickered. "Hey, I was genuinely complimenting you!" I complained, to which he grinned. "Just kidding. You're looking amazing in this dark colour, it suits you. Where's Taehyung?"

"He's gone to look for his parents," I said. Namjoon nodded, "I hope you convince them, Y/N. As for Taehyung, he did try but couldn't," "Thanks, Joonie." I smiled. He definitely is amazing. "Heh, oh look, there's your man," said Namjoon and got up. "Good to see you here, hyung. Y/N?" said Taehyung and gently pulled me towards him. Namjoon beamed and shot me a thumbs up sign.

"I'm pleased to meet you, Mr. and Mrs.Kim," I said and politely bowed at the couple in front of me. They smiled at my little bow and then turned to Taehyung. "Is she the one?" and I saw Taehyung nod enthusiastically. "What's your name, dear?" "I'm Lee Y/N." More questions popped up, as we sat down to have a discussion, Taehyung had a few words himself. Namjoon somehow welcomed himself in the conversation.

"She's a beautiful, elegant, polite and a well mannered woman. Her opinions and views are immaculate," said Taehyung, and smiled. "I can agree with Taehyung, Y/N's ideas will benefit the company at a high rate. She'll be the perfect one for Taehyung, they get along quite well," popped in Namjoon. "Then, we have no problem to let you both be together. I've heard Taehyung mention her plenty of times before. You seem to have genuine feelings for her. I admit now it wasn't right to set up a marriage without your consent," said Mrs.Kim, beaming.

Genuine feelings?
How I wish that was true.

"We'll inform her, and her parents as well, that we wish to change the decision." added Mr.Kim. Taehyung grinned at how the mission was now successful. He escorted his parents till the car, and slowly but steadily, the little crowd departed. "Nice one, Tae," Taehyung spun around at that comment.

"Jimin-ssi! I haven't seen you for a while!" The said person grinned, "I assume you'll be busy now," "Stop teasing me!" "Mhm hmm, good for you~" Namjoon stepped in the conversation after Jimin departed, and congratulated us on the smoothly carried out plan. Taehyung gestured me to settle down in the car.

"I want to tell you something, Y/N.."

Shit, here goes. "Mhm hmm?" I expected something like, "Thanks for this, we're just friends now, okay?" or something like, "Let's go back to being friends, now that we have that chick out of the way," Pfft, lame.

"I like you. I made you my pretend girlfriend because I truly like you. There was no other way I could tell you this before. I don't want you to pretend anymore, I want you to be my real, true girlfriend. I know you're upset about this." He whispered. "I like you too Tae, and yes, I'll be your girlfriend," I said shyly.

He clasped my hands. "Really? I'm so happy now!" He giggled like a little kid. "Me too!" Our chaotic energy was soon halted due to a phone call.

"Namjoon hyung, what is it? Your car? Ah, whom did it hit? You know, you should have waited for your license, it's illegal to- nevermind. Yes, I'll come to pick you up! Yes, hyung," He sighed. I giggled, "You seem exhausted," "I am. But thank you for this wonderful night."
