"I can be your lover."

Bora was astounded and puzzled by the taller woman's words,

"What do you mean?"

Siyeon chuckled at Bora and her confused expression,

"I mean if you want to get your Mother to stop bothering you about your love life I can pretend to be your lover."

Bora was still in shock by Siyeon's words.

"We just met, we hardly know each other." Bora points out.

Siyeon smirks and comes a little closer to Bora,

"That can change." she simply says with a hint of allurement.

Bora could've swore she felt her heart skip a beat.
If she were to have a lover maybe her Mother would truly leave her alone? It was worth a try, right? And Siyeon seemed like a nice person..? I hope she doesn't have any ulterior motives.....She's also.. Bora looks a Siyeon who was waiting for a response. Damn..

Siyeon notices Bora's eyes going up and down her body.

"Like what you see?" she says smiling smugly breaking Bora from her thoughts. Bora immediately realizes she's been caught.

"I- Yes! I mean...I think that could be a good-d way to solve my p-problem." Siyeon smiles at the sight of Bora and her stuttering mess, Bora just sheepishly smiles back and looks down.

Siyeon nods, "Don't worry I'd benefit from this too."
Bora looks up at her to meet her gaze. Siyeon continues, "It would boost my image." Bora can't help but cringe slightly,

"And was it that you do, Miss Lee?" Bora questions demandingly. Siyeon looks at her surprised by her tone. Maybe I shouldn't have said it like that..

"I'm the CEO of the film production company, Dream Capture." She states sternly. Her eyes locked on Bora's. A CEO?! Why would she want me? Could she not find someone more liable for a lover? I'm just a random girl she met on the street...How could I help her? Is she pitying me?

"You see not many people spark my interest but you have..I'm not sure why." Siyeon admits truthfully.
She finds me interesting?

"You're also cute." Siyeon genuinely smiles Bora feels her checks grow warmer,

"I-..Still...I'm just a stranger you met on the street by accident and for us to start dating would be suspicious, don't you think?" Bora shoots back.

"True, but we're not really dating, we could make up a story if that's what you're worried about."

"I don't know this seems very sudden..."

Siyeon looks at her, deep into Bora's dark eyes — as if she were searching for something — something within them;
"How about this," Siyeon starts

"Let me treat you to dinner."

Bora looks at her blankly.

"We can get to know each other a little more, enjoy some food and afterwards you can decide if you want to go through the plan — being us becoming [fake] lovers." Siyeon explains.

"So...Like a date?" Bora inquiries.

Siyeon just smirks, "Exactly."

The rain stops. Siyeon notices, "It's safe to go now." Bora walks away from under the roof into clear land, "Huh. Yeah the rain stopped." Siyeon moves closer to Bora,

"Give me your number."

"Huh?" Bora looks at her stunned by the demand.

"So I can text you the details..Of our date." Siyeon says. "Oh! Of course!" Bora quickly replies fumbling with her jacket pocket to get her phone out.

"Do you not know your number?"

"No I do , it's just I thought I should get your—-"
Siyeon put her hand on Bora's before Bora started unzipping her pocket, "It's fine you don't have to, I'll text you." Siyeon slowly moves Bora's hand down. "But how will I know it's you?" Siyeon smirks,

"Trust me, you'll know."

Bora simply looks at her for a couple of seconds before giving her her number.

Siyeon's phone suddenly rings after she's saved Bora's number: she answers, "Hello? ... Yes this is she. ... What do you mean? ... Why? ... Are you serious? .. *sigh*.. ... Fine. I'll be there in 20. .. Goodbye." Siyeon hangs up.

"Is everything alright?"

Siyeon nods looking ahead — into the distance Bora notices, "Are you sure?" Siyeon sighs, "Yes I'm fine, I'll be fine." she meets Bora's eyes they stare at each other in silence for a while until Siyeon continues, "I..I have to go."

Oh

"I see, something happened at the company?"

"It's the opposite nothing happened." she sighs clearly irritated, "They can't do anything with out me." Bora puts her hand on Siyeon's shoulder,

"Then you should probably go." Bora says, "I understand."

Siyeon looks at her and nods, "You're probably right."

Bora takes notice of the slightly saddened expression of the taller woman. "Well hey, we'll see each other soon — it'll just be me and you, you want have to worry about work." What am I saying I already sound like her lover... Siyeon smiles at her. My she has a wonderful smile...

"I'll call for an Uber for the both of us." Siyeon says unlocking her phone. "You don't have to-" "I want to, it's the least I can do since you've agreed to go out with me." well technically I didn't exactly agree ..But before Bora can say anything else Siyeon has already arranged for an Uber to pick them up in 5 minutes. 

They pass the time by talking a little thought Bora can sense that since that phone call from Siyeon's work she's been on edge.

Their Uber arrives.

.
.

They arrive at Minji's and Yoohyeon's apartment.
Bora gets out of the car and looks back at Siyeon who's been looking at her this whole time:

"Well then I guess I'll see you soon, Miss Kim." Siyeon smiles,

"Likewise Miss Lee."

Authors Note:
I'm sorry that it's so short but I wanted it to be sort of short so that the next chapter could be longer (as we'll finally get to see Minji and Yoohyeon) also I apologize for any mistakes (i.e. typos). Hope this was at least a little enjoyable anyway, thanks for reading dear reader — I'll see you soon :)
