Blind Date?

this chapter is purely inspired by business proposal. Some scenes or plots could be a little different.

characters:

Kim Taehyung: The newly appointed CEO of Go Food, a thriving subsidiary of the chaebol founded by his illustrious grandfather. After earning his degree from Harvard University, Taehyung embarked on his professional journey at an overseas branch of Go Food, gaining valuable international experience before recently returning to Korea. His grandfather, determined to see Taehyung settle down, insists he attend a blind date, hoping to find a suitable match for him.

Jeon Jungkook: The diligent and loyal chief secretary of Taehyung at Go Food. Jungkook's early years were spent in an orphanage funded by the parent company of Go Food, which was established by Taehyung's grandfather. Over time, Jungkook has become more than just an employee; he is like a brother to Taehyung, sharing a deep bond built on trust and shared history.

Jennie Kim: A brilliant researcher in Go Food's Food Development Team 1. Known for her dedication and ingenuity, Jennie is also a devoted friend. When her best friend, Lisa, requests her to take her place on a blind date, Jennie agrees and adopts a daring persona, disguising herself as a vixen to navigate the evening's challenges.

Lalisa Manoban: Jennie's best friend and the only daughter of the powerful chairman of Marine Group. Despite her privileged background and destined role as the future CEO, Lisa seeks to acquire genuine work experience by working alongside Jennie in the same team at Go Food. Wanting to find true love naturally, she asks Jennie to attend a blind date in her place, unaware that the man Jennie will meet is none other than Taehyung.

_______________________________________________

Micheal Manoban is a highly successful and one of the wealthiest businessmen in Korea, despite his roots being in Thailand. His journey from his homeland to becoming a magnate in Korea is a testament to his hard work and determination. Micheal’s pride and joy is his daughter, Lisa, who is set to inherit his vast empire. However, his dreams for her extend beyond merely taking over the family business; he envisions her marrying a wealthy man, thereby further solidifying and expanding their influence in the industry.

Lisa, a modern and independent woman, has a different perspective on life. She believes that love is a natural emotion that cannot be orchestrated or forced. Her father’s attempts to arrange her marriage through a series of blind dates clash with her ideals. Lisa envisions meeting the man of her dreams spontaneously and falling in love naturally. The thought of being set up on blind dates feels contrived and unnatural to her.

Despite her continuous protests, Micheal remains undeterred. He insists on one final blind date, adamantly believing that this particular suitor is the perfect match for her. In an act of defiance and desperation, Lisa concocts a plan. She convinces her best friend, Jennie, to go on the date in her place. Jennie is initially resistant, but Lisa’s heartfelt pleas and persuasive arguments eventually win her over. Jennie agrees, thinking that it’s just a harmless date and nothing significant could happen.

The evening takes an unexpected turn. The man Jennie meets is none other than Taehyung, the new CEO of their company who has recently returned from Cambridge. Neither Taehyung nor Jennie recognize each other initially. The realization dawns only when Taehyung hands her his business card. Jennie, now aware of the situation, is filled with dread but maintains her composure. She decides to portray herself as a spoiled and uninterested heiress, hoping to deter him.

Throughout the evening, Jennie’s antics are designed to make Taehyung lose interest. She acts disinterested, makes outrageous comments, and tries to sabotage the date in every possible way. After the date, Jennie is confident that she has succeeded in making a terrible impression and that Taehyung would never want to see Lisa again.
