It had been two days since Jungkook kissed Ara, he disobeyed the rules, got jealous over his rental girlfriend, and paid her 100,000 won more than he was obliged to simply because he had broken the rule.

After receiving the girl's address from Jimin that evening, Jungkook dropped Ara off at her apartment. Neither did Jimin explain how she obtained her address, nor did Jungkook inquire!

The next day, Ara received a message from the bank that 400,000 won were transferred to her account and that shocked her. Though Jungkook had settled on a price of 300,000 won, she wasn't sure why he had given her an additional 100,000 won.

She then understood that it was because Jungkook kissed her despite being forbidden from doing so. She would have visited him as soon as possible and given a lengthy lecture on how he should not have broken the rule. But how could she do that when she herself kissed him back?

Ara could have pushed him on that day, but she was equally at fault. She kissed him harder, so how could she even think of blaming him? 

Ara was seated in the living room of her apartment. She was growing bored even though the day had just started. She was dressed in pink shorts and a baggy white T-shirt because it was the weekend and she had no plans.

She kept on focusing on the television, oblivious to the cartoon that was playing. Her mind was wandering. 

Within some time, she received a call from someone. She grabbed her phone and turned off the television. She grinned broadly as soon as she saw the name flashing on the phone screen.

"Hello!" She chirped cheerfully as she drew patterns on her exposed thighs. She patiently awaited the other person's response.

"Tae? Who are you talking with? Is it Ara?" A low deep voice spoke before Taehyung could respond to Ara.

"Yes, hyung!" Taehyung informed.

"Great, give me the phone. I need to talk with her. She is the only one who can control you." With that, Namjoon snatched the phone from Taehyung's grasp. "Ara? Listen, make him understand that he can't run away from his responsibilities forever." 

Ara could hear annoyance and anger in Namjoon's voice which made her sigh. "I'll make him understand." She responded lowly.

"Enough, give me the phone. I need answers from her." Taehyung screamed angrily and retrieved his phone. 

"Okay, love! So tell me. When are you going to leave that stupid job of yours? And did that Jungkook guy do something with you? You should know that if you keep doing that job, my father won't accept you ever. I'm trying to convince him, but it won't work if you don't listen to me. So better think about your future, about us. Both of us will be put in an ugly situation at this rate. Are you even listening to me?" 

Well, she was listening. But she was fed up to hear the same words every day. If his father doesn't accept her, she was ready to break ties with Taehyung too. Because there was no other option. No matter how hurt leaving Taehyung would appear, she had no other way out. 

"Are you listening to me? Respond to me, God dammit! I love you and I can't see you getting treated badly by Mr. Kim." 

"Tae, please chill! He is your father, who loves you immensely. He gave you everything. All the success you have received is because of him. Please never forget that."

"However, he can't see my happiness. My happiness lies in you, and he is aware of that. He still disrespects you. I can't forget the day when he didn't allow you to enter the house. I don't even know what problem he has with you." 

Ara sighed. She knew that Mr. Kim never treated her nicely, but she couldn't complain. How could she do that when she had no rights? 

Taehyung's anger was valid, but she couldn't just ask him to hate his father, who had always been unfair. Even though the father and son could never agree on anything, their relationship was too precious for both of them.

"I love you too! Just don't worry about me. I know how to protect myself. And I need this job." Ara spoke lovingly, overlooking the fact that Jungkook kissed her. She had never experienced this before. None of her clients broke the rules except for Jungkook. But she was equally at fault. And for obvious reasons, she couldn't reveal it to Taehyung.

If Taehyung got to know about all this, he would be hurt. His heart would break and he wouldn't be able to take any sort of misbehavior that Ara had to face. He might just go and break Jungkook's nose if he learned about everything. So it was a wise decision of Ara to hide this.

"Alright! If this job keeps you happy, so be it. Just be careful. And call me whenever you need me. I'll come and see you tomorrow night. Be ready to have fun with me." 

Ara smiled widely after listening to Taehyung's words. The young man had the power to make Ara's life much better just by his presence. And that was the reason why Ara loved Taehyung a lot.

"Alright! I'll wait for you at my apartment. Bye!" 

"Bye lovies~" Ara laughed at his dorkiness. She disconnected the call with a smile, shaking her head. She loved him a lot!

Jimin cast a quick glance towards Jungkook, who was absorbed in his laptop. The two of them were at Jungkook's house as it was Saturday. The weekend was off for the employers as well as employees. However, Jimin's job was to be with Jungkook at the CEO's house to finish off the pending work.

The weekend was the day when Jimin got the privilege to see the old Jungkook, who he was friends with. He saw the younger wearing track pants and baggy t-shirts. He wouldn't be nagging as he generally would be at the office.

Jungkook had just taken a shower, and as a result, his wet raven hair was sticking to his forehead and there were water droplets falling on his lap. He never had a habit to dry his hair. It was too much work for him and he never liked doing something that was time-consuming, which profited him nothing.

Jimin had been wanting to inquire about Ara from Jungkook, but he was reluctant to do so as it might make the CEO angry. He bit his lower lip, staring at Jungkook while contemplating his thoughts. Should he ask right away? 

"What is going on in your brain? Stop staring at me and speak." Jungkook spoke in his deep voice as he continued to work his fingers on the keyboard of his laptop.

Jimin was startled, but he made a decision to ask him what he wanted. They were friends after all. "So... how was the date?" 

Jungkook turned his head quickly toward the elder and raised his brow as if he was asking him to correct the question. "Oh! I mean the party." Jimin quickly changed his words with an apologetic smile. 

Jungkook pulled his famous poker face. His eyes got blank as he shifted his attention back to the laptop. "Well, it was fine. I introduced Ara to Mister Choi as my girlfriend." He responded with a shrug.

"No wonder why he invited you to the club tomorrow," Jimin revealed with a sigh. "Oh, with your girlfriend." He added, making Jungkook turn his swivel chair to face Jimin now.

"What do you mean? No! I can't take her anymore." Jungkook shook his head in terror.

"Kook, no need to overreact. We will pay her." Jimin quickly commented. He didn't see why Ara wouldn't come. After all, this was her job and on getting paid, she would surely do it. 

"I broke the rule by kissing her. I don't think she would come anymore, no matter how much I pay her." Jungkook spoke to himself as he looked at his lap. He let out a dramatic sigh at the thought. He couldn't even believe how he got jealous after seeing her with Taehyung. Kissing her was a childish move indeed. 

"YOU DID WHAT?" Jimin yelled, marching near Jungkook and standing in front of him with wide eyes. "YOU KISSED HER? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING ABOUT? AND WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND? YOU HAVE GIRLS WHO ARE THROWING THEMSELVES AT YOU AND YOU USE THEM WELL. SO I DON'T SEE WHY YOU HAD TO DO THIS." Jimin ended his monologue, breathing heavily. However, his wide eyes were still glued on the culprit.

"Hyung~ I just... got jealous." He mumbled "jealous" and sighed. He couldn't believe he was talking about all this with Jimin.

"Jealous? Of whom? Why would you get jealous? She isn't your real girlfriend." 

Jungkook sighed at the questions thrown at him. He wasn't sure why he got jealous, so how could he answer the elder's questions? 

"The thing is, she went away for some thirty minutes and I went searching for her. Guess who I saw her with! Kim Taehyung, the model. I'm not sure what she was doing with him." 

Jimin rolled his eyes. "It doesn't concern you whatever is going on between them. She might be doing this job but she has a private life too, you know. Not everyone doesn't believe in love." 

Jungkook nodded his head like a kid, who was given lectures by his parents about how to behave around unknown people and be kind.

"I'll convince her. Just don't do anything stupid. We have no other option than to take her as your girlfriend because Mister Choi has invited you and Mister Kim will be there as well." 

Jungkook took in all the details and now his palms began to sweat. What if she wouldn't come anymore? And what if he did something stupid again?
