My Fake Boyfriend

"I am honestly shocked that you are still alive," Jungkook looked up at Taehee as he averted his gaze from the phone.

"I am surprised that you are not mad," Seoyeon looked at Aeri, "And it scares me. Is it just the calm before the storm?"

"What? No," Aeri answered casually, "I seriously can't care less."

"Why? It is regarding you," Eunmi said.

"Yes," Aeri began, "But it is not like I actually have to date him. I just have to say that he is my boyfriend and he just have to do the same, that's all."

"And Yunsik?" Jimin asked.

"You guys can just tell him that I have a boyfriend and Taehyung will confirm it."

"I don't think he is going to believe that," Eunmi said, slightly shaking her head.

"Why wouldn't he?" Aeri asked with a frown.

"Oh I don't know," Jungkook said sarcastically, "Maybe because he followed you."

"We are not sure if he still does that," Seoyeon said.

"I also don't think he does that anymore," Taehee agreed.

"Nah, I agree with Jungkook." Jimin said.

Eunmi looked at him, "Do you actually agree with him, or do you just disagree with Seoyeon?"

"Both I guess." Jimin said after thinking for a second, "But," He said over everyone's groans, "I think Yunsik will notice a few things are off."

"Like what?" Aeri asked.

"First of all, you don't act like you have a boyfriend," Jimin answered.

"What do you want then. Me to act all girly and over the moon?"

"I don't think that you are physically capable of that," Taehee mentioned.

Aeri looked at her sister, "I never thought I would say this, but I agree with you."

"Skip to second of all," Jungkook sighed as he looked at Jimin.

"You two know nothing about each other," Jimin said, "Not even a single shit."

"I know a few things," Aeri objected.

"Really?" Jungkook asked, propping up his head on his palms which were supported by his elbows, "Like what?"

"Well," Aeri said, "His name is Kim Taehyung. He has an older brother, Kim Namjoon. I think they have a dog named...Monie? He goes to the same school as Jiyeon, and I know the area he lives in and I think I will be able to pin point the house if I see it."

Aeri looked at the blank yet judging looks of her friends, "What?" she asked, "Isn't that enough."

"Come on RiRi," Eunmi said, "Even I can tell that's not enough."

"I think these two blockheads have a point," Taehee said as she pointed towards Jungkook and Jimin.

"Thanks," Jungkook said, "I guess."

"I don't think it will like, hurt to meet up with him and talk." Seoyeon suggested.

"Like a date," Aeri asked with a raised eyebrow, a tinge of warning echoing in her voice.

"No, just a friendly meet up." Seoyeon defended.

"Of course like a date," Jimin voiced over her.

"Seriously," Aeri whined, "I can't even remember the last time I went on a date."

"That's because you never went on a date." Eunmi explained quietly.

" Come on RiRi," Taehee said, "You also have to admit that you know nothing about each other."

"Fine," Aeri sighed as the bell signifying the end of lunch ringed in their ears, "I'll think about it." she said as they walked out and went in their separate directions.

"Maybe you can discuss it with him," Jimin said with a smirk as he made his way to the class he shared with Aeri and Jungkook, "You do have his phone number," He finished before making an attempt to sprint to the class as a way to avoid her.

"You gave him my number?" Aeri asked, getting hold of her friend by his shirt collar.

"I should stop wearing collars," Jimin mumbled to himself.

Jungkook gave Jimin a sly smile, "More like he slipped him the number."

"Do you really want to see me get all bruised up?" Jimin spat at Jungkook.

"Do you want me to answer that honestly or politely?" Jungkook asked innocently as they got seated in the classroom.

"Remind me to deal with him after school," Aeri whispered to Jungkook before giving Jimin an evil smile.
