▪ SIX

[edited with WordTune and ProAid Writing as of December 4th, 2021]

To be honest, the story from the previous one doesn't end there. There were so many things happened during the signing of the contract.

Kim Nahee held a pen in her right hand before fetching a booklet from Yoongi. She opened the booklet and looked through the first page.

"Read the rules properly before you sign it," Yoongi reminded as he crossed his legs and leaned his body on the chair. While pointing at the form almost like a drunkard way, he warned, "I don't want you to regret once the contract ends. I don't want you to go back crying."

Yoongi still remembered most clients who were in the contract relationship in a period for more than a year went back home, leaving the company with tears regardless of genders and sexualities. He understood how that felt as he had been working for that company for five years. Almost none of the contract that ended, leaving him a good feeling.

He ever thought to end and leave the company, but thinking that he had not moved on from his first love made him choosing to stay. Until he met a girl that made him broke one of the contract rules.

"Why should I cry when the contract ends?" Nahee confidently asked, still blunt in these matters.

Yoongi frowned, questioning internally why the girl who sat across from him sounded innocent. He also mentally saying that she did not look like one.

He crossed his arms and leaned his back on the chair's supporter.

"The feel is as same as breaking up with someone you love because of parents' rejections. You know how that feels?"

Nahee listened to him quietly. She felt insulted for a while that Yoongi asked her that, but knowing that Yoongi did not know she had never been in a relationship before, she shrugged it off.

She released a sigh and licked her lips before saying, "I've never in a relationship before."

Yoongi looked at her blankly, even though he was surprised to hear the fact that Nahee had never had a boyfriend.

"Not even when you're in elementary school?" He asked. Nahee bitterly smiled as she shook her head. She definitely had no time for puppy love.

Yoongi silently sighed, getting up from the chair. He then walked towards a cupboard and swung its door opened. Scanning through at the files on the shelf, he pointed horizontally at each file that was displayed in alphabetical orders on the shelf while Nahee watched.

He then stopped and brought out a file, returned to his seat after that.

"So, tell me," Yoongi said, pulling the chair as he moved forward to the table sit and then landed his buttocks on the chair. "Why come here?"

"I need a boyfriend," Nahee straightforwardly said.

"Need," Yoongi emphasized his word and then chuckled. "Not want. Uh-hm, I see," he said. He then opened the booklet and read its contents.

"Why need?" He asked again as he read.

Nahee sighed. If answering his questions was the only way could help her fill the form in the booklet under her hands, then she had to. 

"Because I need one," Nahee said. "I can't tell you why."

Yoongi sighed.

"If finding a boyfriend through this company is only to please you. I'm sorry, our company's rules against it," Yoongi stated as he pulled out the booklet under Nahee's hand.

He flipped a few pages and turned it to show something on the page.

"Rule number one, NO sexual intercourse," he read out, pointed to the rule and looked at Nahee sharply.

Nahee sighed, internally facepalmed. She got disappointed at this interview. Too many points and questions. She wondered if the other clients had to confront this, too.

"Look," Nahee licked her lips before continuing to talk. "I came here to find a boyfriend. To fulfil my mother's wish."

Yoongi squinted his eyes after hearing Nahee's reason to go there.

"She wants me to have a boyfriend or an ex. And I don't have time to find a proper one or interested in finding a boy."

When Nahee mentioned about finding a proper one, the sudden image of Jackson and Seungri came to her mind. She stared at Yoongi to give the energy that she had a hard time to find one.

Yoongi just listened to her words, to think whether her reason was reasonable enough for her to get boyfriend through that company. It was rare for him to find someone for that kind of reason. Nahee could be the first or second person came with that reason.

He gave up. He had no other questions after knowing Nahee's reason for going there.

"Sign the contract," Yoongi bluntly said as he passed, slide a pen on the table to Nahee. "But read the rules first."

Nahee smirked when she got the pen from Yoongi. I guess mother's reason could tame anyone?

She took the booklet and read the rules.

-------

Rule #1: No sexual activity is allowed. It is possible that our agency's clients might become pregnant if this process takes place. Our agency will not be liable if this happens to any of our clients or our agency's permanent boy/girlfriend choice(s).

Rule #2: You and your contracted partner may not kiss each other on the lips. A kiss on the cheek or forehead is fine.

Rule #3: If either of our two rules are violated, we will not hesitate to take actions whether it is to end the contract relationship earlier, or to continue to use your other choice during the contract's remaining period, as appropriate. You may also be required to pay an extra fee when signing a new contract.

-------

"These are easy!" Nahee chimed. "Just three simple rules! What are there to against?"

Nahee suddenly remembered the man supposed to be one of the boyfriend's choices, but was now doing his punishment for breaking the rules. She smirked and then playfully giggled.

"Which one of these two rules you and your client broke?" Nahee wiggled her eyebrows. Yoongi looked at her blankly for a while, before rolling his eyes. "You two kissed? Making babies?"

"What the f***?" Yoongi was mad. For making him remember his and the girl's mistake and for attempting to provoke him. He could not believe he met an optimistic client like her, asking him how he broke the contract rules suddenly. "Are you signing the contract or not?!"

Nahee snorted. Who knew a tough-looking guy like Yoongi would be so soft to break one of those two simple rules?

Nahee read the next page after the rules. The next page showed the form that needed to be filled. Nothing much to fill in actually, since the sexuality part had ticked by Yoongi...

She filled what needed to be filled before Yoongi filled his part.

"Why are you like this?" Nahee suddenly asked after seeing nonsense answers Yoongi wrote in the place where he supposed to answer.

Yoongi cooly shrugged even though he knew how weird and useless his answers were being in the form. It was obvious he was still sulking because of his punishments.

Nahee's eyebrows knitted, mouth slightly opened, and then shook her head. Still could not believe how reckless the guy was when filling the form.

Yoongi pushed aside the form and then took out three booklets. He opened each of them like a domino effect and on each book displayed three good-looking boys with their profiles written.

"Read their profiles before you pick," Yoongi said, leaning on the chair after that.

Nahee looked at each profile closely with their pictures plastered at the top left corner.

She read little, just memorising their names and date of birth. She supposed they were the most important things to know. There was much more about what kind of personality they have or how clean their cases were (this was to show if they ever had been like Yoongi). But Nahee cared little about them.

Looks?

Namjoon advised her not to consider much about looks because looks do not tell everything about how they act or how their personalities were. It was a psychology fact stated by Professor Kim Namjoon.

So, Nahee listened to her brother and did not care about how her boyfriends' choices look. Just don't look like an over-nerd. Braces, big rounded spectacles and wore high-waisted pants and all buttoned-up shirt. A traumatising view for her.

¹ Park Jimin
² Kim Taehyung
³ Jeon Jungkook

Those were the three choices given. She thought, if Yoongi was not being punished, he would part of them. And if he was part of them, she confirmed she would not choose him after seeing how he act around her earlier.

She rolled her eyes when she grasped Yoongi was staring at her lethargically.

To think about the three boys whose pictures it showed in front of her, she could not choose. By looking at the boys' pictures that were taken like I.D pictures, did not capture her heart attracted.

"Can you recommend me the best one?" Nahee suddenly asked, after looking at their pictures for so long. Yoongi shrugged and then straightened his sitting position.

"I recommend Park Jimin the best," he pointed at a boy with pale skin, dark brown hair, tall nose, plump lips. His eyes were neither big nor small. His eyes looked like they would disappear like a crescent line when he smiles.

"He's nice. Sweet, romantic, caring, cute... If you wish someone like him," he said. But then he rubbed his nose after remembering some cases that the mentioned boy had confronted. "But he's tempting."

"What do you mean?" Nahee questioned.

Yoongi chuckled when remembering the younger, "many of our clients chose him. And most of them used him for other purposes. Like almost breaking the rule."

Nahee grimaced at the fact. She started to pitying the guy.

"Lucky, Jimin reported this to us. Or else he would have ended up like me," Yoongi stated. He then yawned. "He just... just! Too nice," he continued, looking lethargically at Nahee with watery eyes after emphasizing one of his words.

Nahee shook her head at the fact that many of Jimin's clients used him. How could they?! Jimin looked too innocent to be treated that way, she thought.

"Ah! Don't fall for his innocent look. He may be not as innocent as he looks," Yoongi warned as he smirked weakly at the girl. It seemed Yoongi could read her mind for thinking about Jimin's innocent look.

Nahee's eyebrows jumped at Yoongi's statement. As a first impression, he looked like a baby to her. His cheeks look fluffy and squishy enough to pinch. But because of Yoongi's statement, she doubted that if she should pick him. The one whose personality was nice, but do not get deceived by the innocent look.

Next, she saw a handsome guy's profile picture. His file was just next to Jimin's.

"How about him?" Nahee asked, pointing at Kim Taehyung's. Yoongi straightened his position slightly as he made who Nahee just pointed, and then slouched back.

"He's a little like Jimin. But he's more playful. And give him extra care for him. He's a little babyish."

Nahee's eyebrows jumped at Yoongi's statement.

"What about him?" This time, Nahee pointed at Jeon Jungkook's profile.

"Wah, this boy! My favourite candidate!" Yoongi smiled widely as he straightened himself properly. He then clapped his hand for an unknown reason. Jeon Jungkook was his favourite buddy in there, and it was obvious.

"This boy is gold. He's all in one boy. You can even see boyfriend's stuff in him just by looking at that picture. And another fact is that he's being the top best boyfriend in our company who has no complaints received and his case file is clean!" The boy uttered as he shook an empty file with 'violation file' written on the file. He shook it harder to prove to Nahee that there were no papers inside to tell Jungkook had never broken a rule or received complaints.

Nahee believed Jungkook might be the best candidate to pick as a contract boyfriend. A contract has a lot of restrictions and therefore, she wanted to find someone who she would not fall in love deeply at the end. Maybe just enough she can move on quickly within a month or two, like how she moved on from her crushes.

"Any other recommendations?" She asked. Yoongi shook his head, "nope, most of our boys are taken. Unless you want to share your boyfriend with other girls, then I'll recommend to you other lads."

Nahee scrunched her nose. Sharing something wasn't something that she liked to do.

Finally, she had decided.

"I'll pick Jeon Jungkook," Nahee said, pushing the 'Jeon Jungkook' file towards Yoongi. Yoongi jutted out his bottom lips as he gave a smug smile. He was glad and relieved that Nahee chose the right guy.

For this matter, he was sure Jungkook could do his job as a contracted boyfriend well to a girl who has never dated before, to give her the best experience of having a boyfriend. But there was one thing that made Yoongi worrying about how they would progress.

"How long do you want this relationship to last?" Yoongi looked at her with the look that he was hoping Nahee would say out a short time for the relationship.

Nahee stared at the form for quite a while before she realised there was some more to fill in the form. The name of the man she has contracted with, the time she wanted the relationship to last, their professions and, finally, their signatures.

She was debating whether to listen to Hoseok about choosing a short period or stay with her mind about choosing a longer period. There was as if an angel and a devil whispering in her ears.

"You should listen to Jung Hoseok, you know. He tried this relationship once. Remember that face? He looks sad for having to let go of the girl he was with. Nahee, you know you don't like to take the risk. Don't go break your own heart. While your mother only wants you to have an ex on the list, so? Don't go too far, Kim Nahee," the devil side said, wanting to spoil the girl.

"Just go with the longer time! You've never got a boyfriend before. And let me tell you," the angel scooted closer to a whisper. "Love is beautiful. Other than it is, you need to see the ugliness, too. It's okay to have your heartbreak. Every life has reasons to have heartbreaks, so let your heart be."

The devil side was spoiling her, the angel side wanting to teach her about something. The left told her to go for a short time, while the right told her to go for a longer time. And that day, Nahee wanted to be like her brother suddenly. Finally, she had decided.

"I want 2 years and a month," she said with an intonation that sounded like a question, but she was confident about her decision. Her statement made Yoongi widened his eyes.

"A-are you sure about that?" Yoongi stuttered, looking at her in disbelief. The girl nodded her head. "Don't you think it's too much?"

Nahee shook her head.

Everyone knew Nahee as a stubborn girl. Once an idea is the main thing and constantly stays in her mind, she would go for it. She would not decide again and again. She wanted to investigate how Hoseok felt during his two years in this kind of relationship, wanted to know what kind of pain Hoseok meant.

"Er..." Yoongi has now fully awakened. Nahee's answer made him flustered. He looked around at nowhere, trying to find a solution to make Nahee changed her mind. But no ideas seemed to make his brain give its bulb lit.

"O-o-okay," he stammered, giving up on finding the solution. He trembly wrote about the duration of the contract.

Knowing how clean Jungkook's violation file was, he became worried that the younger would violate the rules because of the long period. He hoped Jungkook knows how to handle himself for 25 months. He experienced being in a long contract relationship himself, so this did not mean Jungkook will be like him.

'Good luck, Jungkook-ah,' he internally said in a monotone as he entered and wrote the last entry to write in form.

Nahee grinned when she successfully has done with the interview. All slots filled and no more questions, she wished.

She signed the paper and saw Yoongi grimacing his face. Could not believe that this client chose Jungkook for a long-term contract. She paid for the contract relationship, which cost ₩405,000. Now, she has ₩495,000. She thought she wasted the money for good.

Now, everything had settled. Form filled payments paid. What it left was to meet her contracted boyfriend.

"Let me get Jungkook." Yoongi groaned as he stood and then left Nahee alone in the room. She watched as he pulled the door behind him closed.

When the door clicked to shut, Nahee rolled her eyes, observing the room. Nothing was interesting inside except files on shelves, a big television, chairs and an immense table. An elegant maroon carpet covered the floor with decorative squares.

She clasped her palms together, releasing a deep breath to calm her nerves down. She was nervous.

Her mind was thinking about how this boy will think about her? What will his first impression of her? She wasted twenty minutes of thinking about that.

She snapped out of her thoughts when the door was once again, heard clicked, the door yanked opened and there stood Yoongi leaning his back on the door as he let a boy in.

"Kim Nahee, this is Jeon Jungkook." Yoongi gestured at Jungkook lethargically, and Nahee rolled her eyes to see him.

"Annyeonghaseyo, I'm Jeon Jungkook. Your contracted boyfriend." Jungkook bowed as greeted with a bitter smile. 

She immediately stood up to greet him back.

And this is the true start of Nahee's contract relationship.
