Roomies with Benefits

PART 17 [18+]

"United Kingdom?"

"Ya... London Business School."

"That's the number 2 best in the world. But why not Harvard?"

Jisoo snorted in annoyance while glancing at the man briefly, before returning to her activities of playing origami that she brought from home, before coming to Jungkook's office.

"Jungkook, I don't want to go far. What's the difference between United states or kingdom, they're both are too far ."

Seeing the girl who was still grumpy with a frown on her face made Jungkook smile slightly while supporting his face.

"We have a branch in the United States. I could move there, that's why you'd better get Harvard. Their business school is also the number 1 in the world."

Jisoo was stunned for a moment when she heard the man's words.

"Why do you want to move along?"

"You seem to mind being away from me, don't you ?"

decisive. Jisoo then widened her eyes and threw a paper bird in front of her at the man. Cover up misbehavior.

"You're too confident. I mean I don't want to be away from my parents."

"Hahaha well let's just say so, then what's the second option?" The man changed the topic and couldn't help but make the girl pensive.

Then take a deep breath.

"Marriage..."

"... What?"

"I think I'm starting to understand how you feel, Jungkook. The thought of marrying someone you don't know... feels bad."

Jungkook was still silent in the starting position. Both of his eyes were still glued to Jisoo's figure while his eyebrows were knit together seriously.

"Why marriage?"

"It's not forcibly arranged or an arranged marriage, it's only a recommendation. Because Jeon Dongmin is the son of a friend of my father's, and he has also started to struggle in the business world. So if I marry him, our family company can be united."

Jungkook still stares at Jisoo who is busy with origami in front of him in silence.

"I think... learning business is way better." Spoke Jungkook hoarsly.

"Yeah, maybe ," Jisoo whispered. The girl then reached for her cellphone for a moment before reaching for her bag.

"I think I need some refreshing time, thank you for listening to my story."

"Where are you going?" Jungkook asked surprised. Because he thought Jisoo would accompany him until he got home, like the last time.

"Shopping , or maybe go to the salon."

"Can I follow along?"

Jisoo chuckled softly as she approached the man who was still sitting in his work chair, staring at her sharply. Then bent down to kiss his cheek.

"Alone. I need me time. I'm going first, don't miss your lunch."

And the girl left his room, leaving Jungkook pensive alone at his desk.

"...Marriage...?"

Jisoo still wasn't home when Jungkook arrived home about 5 hours ago. And there hasn't been any notification regarding her late return.

While the clock already shows the number 01:05.
