"I'll let you come with me just so you could finally shut up. But if ever you make one mistake, I'll not have second thoughts to report you to the police." Jennie growled at Jungkook.

"Report me for what? For stealing your heart?" He tried controlling his laughter but failed to do so.

"You can take another picture of me if you want to. Especially now I'm all dressed up in a suit and tie." He playfully twirled around to show himself off.

"Can't you just zip your mouth for a sec?" She annoyingly said to him as she faced the other way.

She can't deny he was indeed looking good today but she knew too well it will be a mistake to fall for him.

They are in a party filled with elite company owners of different ages and genders, all dressed-up in dazzling dresses and black tuxedos accessorized with shining gems and diamonds. Jennie got a tip that the person she was trying to find will be here.

"I'm just playing my part, honey. You look beautiful as ever by the way." He winked at her.

Right. They were acting as a couple after successfully sneaking inside the luxurious place.

"Shut. Up. Jung. Kook." She glared at him with all seriousness but the flush of pink in her cheeks were too obvious.

Cute, he thought.

He made his lips into a thin line and motioned his right hand as if he's zipping his mouth.

Soon enough, an older woman went closer to them as she was curious how a young couple like them became eligible to enter such party.

"Hello there, dear. My name's Jun Ji Hyun, owner of Dazzle Galore Company. May I know your names?"

Both of them gulped with the sudden interaction but tried keeping their cool as Jennie slid her hand to Jungkook's arm.

"Hello. My name's Jane and this is Justin. Nice to meet you." She smiled at her.

"May I ask how a beautiful couple like yours became so successful in that age? Because honestly, I really find it amusing." She suddenly spoke in English, expecting the two of them understood her.

Jennie was nervous to give an answer. She easily perceived what she said but she can't utter the foreign language as articulately like hers. She desperately looked at the man beside her, pinching his arm as she cried for some help. But he only gazed at her in response.

He kept blabbering when she wanted him to shut up. Now that she needed him to talk, he used it against her.

She looked back at the woman in front of her. She wanted to pull through but she ended up stuttering, making the other chuckle at her mockingly.

"Uh... Well.. we actually... owners of..."

"We became CEOs of our own respective companies. Although we were entitled with the position thru our family's inheritance, we worked our way up to be called worthy and not to be disrespected. Now will you excuse us, Miss Jun? We'll be helping ourselves with the refreshments."

Jennie looked at him in awe as he bowed to the older woman and pulled her away. She was amazed by how his demeanor quickly changed in that moment, looking realistically a refined lad.
