ARRANGED LOVE

Chapter 44

Eunho, watching Jimin's livestream from their agency's office, witnessed the whole thing.

In order to cover up the relationship between Jimin and Taehyung, Manager Hyejin had worked hard to make it nearly impossible for the two of them to meet up. As soon as Jimin finished filming his drama, his manager had instantly lined up various interviews and television program appearances for him.

Before Jimin's livestream, Hyejin had even gone out of her way to call up all relevant parties and warn them to keep their mouths shut. But she'd failed to account for this bug in the system—Jimin's nemesis, Minjae.

Eunho thought Manager Hyejin had already done a good job. She'd given it her best shot. It just couldn't be helped that Jimin was dating his own nemesis's older brother. That sort of thing didn't happen very often.

Moreover, this nemesis had a mouth that just couldn't be shut up.

Eunho had a feeling she could already guess what tonight's trending topics would be—

#KimTaehyungParkJimin

#JiminMinjae

#WhereIsJiminStreamingFrom

#AreJiminandMinjaeReallyRivals

#MinjAeEntersJiminLivestreamLookingForSomeone

After Minjae's abrupt arrival in Jimin's livestream room, and after his baffling messages, the bullet comments completely ceased for a moment. Then they returned in full force, filling up the whole screen with question marks.

[???]

[Huh???]

[HMMMMMM? Answering the phone? Taehyung's mom wants him to pick up the phone and sent someone to our Minnie's room to tell him? Something's not right.]

[Wait, rewind. Minnie is staying out all night, at a friend's place? Can we take a look at who this friend is?]

[BTS 's leader brought the whole gang in here to check in on their lead dancer. Why do I get the feeling they all know where Jimin is right now? But they're not saying anything. Their bonds are the real deal!]

[Let's not banish the rival yet. He seems to know something.]

[No, let's get rid of him. The sooner the better...]

[The nemesis's brother... that's Taehyung, isn't it?]

[Minnie, tell us the truth. Which friend's house are you at right now?]

[Is this really Minjae? If it is, I'm sorry, but I'm so gonna start shipping.]

[I'm starting to think those detectives were onto something. Minjae really hasn't been starting shit with Jimin lately. He's just been minding his own business. They don't seem like rivals at all anymore.]

[Don't overthink it...]

[Hey, do you guys remember when Minjae was channeling Taehyung's loneliness post on Twitter? Something's felt off ever since then.]

[FoodForTaeMin, let's ship first, ask questions later.]

[STOP. There's nothing to ship. They're just ordinary friends, right? This imposter is just talking nonsense...]

@MinjaeKANI: I'm not talking nonsense, and I'm not an imposter. I'm Minjae, and I'm trying to get my brother to answer his phone.

[Stop fighting, this really is Minjae. He even sent out a Twitter post just now, telling his brother to pick up the phone.]
