ARRANGED LOVE

Chapter 4

"The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." - ...

*********************************

Jimin stared at his cell phone, dumbfounded. Hadn't they been having a perfectly nice conversation? Now this kid was insulting the other customers.

This business was wild.

Since it seemed like Min Yunki's precious customer was about to self-implode for some unknown reason, Jimin decided to offer a word of advice.

[Lil Mochi]: Darling, don't be like that. You're not so different from them.

[dumb Customer]: ......

[dumb Customer]: Am I being rude, or are you just too easy?

The sleep medication Jimin had taken earlier was starting to take effect. He felt his eyelids growing heavy, even though he hadn't sealed the deal with this hotshot customer yet.

[Lil Mochi]: I have to go to sleep. I'll tell you all the details about our subscription packages tomorrow. You should get some sleep soon, too.

[dumb Customer]: I......

[Lil Mochi]: Don't stay up all night! Daddy will spank you if you stay up all night.

Jimin couldn't keep his eyes open anymore. His cell phone slid out of his hand before he could even lock the screen. He was out like a light, so he didn't see that the chat interface, for a solid ten minutes, showed the message:

dumb Customer is typing...

Back at the Kim family's villa, Taehyung was still staring at his phone screen. He was so pissed he had to laugh.

Who the hell was supposed to be 'daddy'? Was that how Jimin wanted to play?

The 'nice' and 'well-behaved' boy really wasn't nice or well-behaved at all.

Taehyung hunched over his phone and spent around ten minutes composing a lecture on the morals and health ramifications of seeking a sugar daddy, and he used the opportunity to mention his philosophy of protecting his fans as well.

But after he gave it some thought, he decided to delete the message without sending it in the end.

Regardless of whether it was good or bad behavior, it was Jimin's life and Jimin's choices. Taehyung may have disapproved, but it wasn't his place to interfere.

After all...

Idols were supposed to stay out of their fans' lives!

It was just past four in the morning when Jimin woke to the sound of his alarm. He rushed into a company car and headed straight for the airport. By six in the morning, he had boarded a plane bound for a small country in northern Europe, where he would be part of the cast of the fifth installment of Wandering With You.

Jimin hadn't slept well, startling awake every so often in the night. Throughout the day, he was frequently sleepy.

He sank into his first-class seat and blearily grabbed his cell phone. It seemed the big customer from yesterday wasn't awake yet.

Their conversation had stopped after the line about being spanked by 'Daddy'. It seemed the customer had been scared off by that.

Jimin ducked his head and typed in a few lines, deciding to reach out.

[Lil Mochi]: Boss, I'm busy today, so just tell me when you decide how long of a subscription you want, and I'll quote you a price.
