Jungkook

"Dad, I don't know why getting married and having a child should be a prerequisite for the highest company position." I contest. I've been working hard for the company. I don't have a personal life anymore. I spent every single day and some hours of the night for the company and this is the only way to get the chairmanship?

Dad looked at me with an annoying smirk on his face. I know he's laughing hard in his head thinking that I am some stupid kid whining over their so-called tradition.

"Dad, you know I handle every task that you gave me. I attended each and every training you want me to take. I spent almost all my waking hours working my ass just to prove to you that I can. I know exactly how to run the entire company. I worked so hard for this. You will threaten me to give the position to my cousin and I won't let that happen. You sacrificed enough just to build this company and you will give it to someone greedy? Just because he's married? I can't understand why I need to get married first and have a child just to become a full pledge chaebol.

If I only knew that it's the only way to get the position, then I should have fucked a random guy out there or marry a whore."

My father laughed. Slamming his hand on his oak desk. "You are a Jeon and yet you're acting like a scumbag. If you're married now but still irresponsible, I still will not give you the position you're wanting for so long.

You cannot get the position if you only have one of the requirements that I am asking you. Both should come together. I know your capabilities as a future business owner. Now prove to me that you can be a responsible man. Give me a grandson who will be your heir in the future. Simple."

I scoffed. How can that be simple? I don't even know anyone who can be my boyfriend or husband.

I stood up from my seat and bowed at my father. "I will prove to you that I can be both. Give me a month."

I went out of my father's room extremely disappointed. How can he do this to me?

"What happened, boss?" Taehyung, my assistant, quickly walk behind me as we head back to my office.

"He's still insisting that I should get married." I rolled my eyes. I still can't imagine myself being with someone.

We stepped in the elevator and I looked at my reflection in the elevator door. I will not let all my hard work go to waste. I did not study at a prestigious University just to let the company go. I did not study the ins and outs of my father's company just to watch my cousin take over the position that should be mine. This is my father's company. This is Jeon Conglomerates. A Jeon should handle this company. Only a Jeon.

"Why don't you marry Jimin?" Taehyung suggested as I settle down in my seat.

"Are you trying to annoy me? Jimin will kill me before I can do that. I don't want to see a vase flying right to my face."

Jimin, my best friend, is someone that I see as a brother. There's no way he will play along with me. I love my life and I'm not yet ready to lose it from Jimin's wrath.

"Then you really have a big problem now, boss. I wonder when and where you can find someone who will be your instant groom." Taehyung pouts while looking at the ceiling.

"I only have one month to look for someone who can play that role."

"One month?!" Taehyung blurted out with his eyes open wide. He stared at me while rubbing his chin. "I know a place. They have dancers there whom you can pay to stand as your groom."

My mouth fell open by Taehyung's stupid suggestion. "Listen to me, I.will.not.marry.a.stripper! What if that stripper already danced for my dad or for the company executives?"

Taehyung shrugged in defeat. "Maybe Jimin can help you. You know, he knows a lot of people."

(When I said Jimin, I mean this Jimin. Okay? Okay!)

Jimin stared at me as I sit down on his sleek cream leather sofa. His house is the epitome of sophistication. He is an Interior Designer. He is a perfectionist that sometimes can be a bit annoying but even though he can be a bit too much most of the time, he is a trusted and nice friend.

He runs his fingers on his newly dyed silver hair. Crossing his legs before speaking to me. "So what can I do for you? I bet it's about your problem with being single. That, I don't really care."

I chuckled by his words. He is a brutal friend if I may add. "Honestly, I don't mind staying single but I need to have someone who wanted to be my husband for a short period of time and who is willing to carry my child."

Jimin raised his brow at me before sipping tea from his teacup. "It's funny how you said those words as if you're a child looking for a playmate and after playing, your playmate can go home. Do you really think that's easy?"

"One million dollars." I offered.

Jimin clicked his tongue. "I'm sure you can find someone but I'm not sure how. Knowing you, you're looking for a fine young educated man who can play that role for you so as not to embarrass yourself in front of your so-called high-standard father. So it will take time. There's a lot but the question is, who is willing?"

"Two Million Dollars."

Jimin laughed again. "Gosh! That's how desperate you are? Really Jungkook?"

I smirked at how Jimin is mocking me. He always does anyway. "You see, one month is all I have to present a man that I can call my fiance. I'm not here to discuss shits with you. Okay, I surrender, I'm asking for your help to find one for me."

"Did you ask Phil? He likes you." Jimin asked while taking a closer look at his fingernails.

"I don't need someone who likes me. It will be very difficult to file a divorce after he gives birth. I need someone who doesn't know me and my status. Someone who will keep his mouth shut during and after the whole game."

Jimin looked up his gold and white ceiling while softly rubbing his chin with his fingers. How can someone be this annoyingly intricate?

"Let me think about it. I can't think of anyone who can play a part for you. Honestly, my other friends don't need your money."

"I bet they want to have sex with me."

Jimin rolled his eyes while shaking his head. "Over-confidence isn't sexy. Anyway, I will try my best to look someone for you but my circle of friends doesn't match your criteria because they all know that you're a playboy."

"I am?!"

Jimin ignored my comment. "Since you need someone who doesn't know you, well, everyone in Seoul knows you, so I guess I need to go to a remote island to look for someone whom you can marry and fuck and leave. Is that correct?"

I swear, if I don't need him right now, I think I already punch him on the face.

Well, he's not lying anyway.
