A Way To Your Heart - Chapter 5: Chapter 5

"WHAT??"
Taehyung covered his ears when Jimin shouted suddenly after he told him everything.
"Taehyungie... Are you really getting married? Seriously?"
Jimin wiped his imaginary tears.
"Oh my god... my best friend is going to get married to a stranger. Why do you have to leave me alone my baby? Should I find a fake boyfriend too?"
"Jimin. Can you be serious at least once?"
Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows to which Jimin cleared his throat and sat properly.
"Ok ok. Let's be serious. So... You mean... He really agreed to the marriage?"
Jimin put his finger on his chin as he think of something.
"Wait... What if he likes you?"
"Shut up..!"
Taehyung smacked Jimin's nape.
"What? If he doesn't like you, why would he agree to marry you just like that? It's not like he was helping you for money or anything but he still agreed everything you say."
"You're thinking too much. I don't know why he's helping me and agreed to this deal, maybe because his parents also involved, but he himself already said that he will never fall for me, neither I would. We're going to stick just to our plan and we'll divorce after 3 months."
Taehyung shrugged his shoulders.
"Are you sure you won't fall for him during this time? I mean... You two would be living together for 3 whole months like seriously. Even cats and dogs become friends if they're living together for a long time."
"We're not cats and dogs. And he's too full of himself, praising himself all alone blah blah... urghh... it's really irritating and I don't like him at all."
Taehyung said as he plopped down on Jimin's bed.
Jimin just shook his head as he threw himself next to Taehyung.
"So... when is the wedding?"
"In 10 days. My parents already started celebrating from yesterday when we told them that we'll get married."
Taehyung said as he stare at the white ceiling.
"So... you'll let me be your best man right?"
Jimin poked Taehyung's cheeks with a wink.
"Why are you so excited for my wedding while I want to disappear from here?"
Taehyung scorned.
"Why wouldn't I? My best friend is getting married in 10 days. Oh yeah... I should really buy a new suits to wear. And--"
"It's only for 3 months."
Taehyung cut Jimin off.
"But still I need to buy a new one. I will wear it for your real wedding again."
"I'm not going to marry anyone."
"Ok. As you wish. But life is unpredictable you know. Who knows if you'll find someone later whom you never want to lose? Whom you are afraid to go away from your life?"
"Jimin, I have you, I have my parents. I don't need anyone else."
"Fine... Fine..."
Jimin chuckled. He knew his friend will never change what's in his mind.
"Well... from what you've told, he doesn't seem to be that much of a bad person. I mean... he's willing to help you without asking anything in return---"
"Don't just come to conclusions. He did asked for his reward. I don't know what motives he has to help me but I do really need his help for now. I just hope this 3 months will go as fast as it could and after this, I'll give his reward as much as he want, money, gold or anything if he doesn't mess up my plan and as long as we don't interrupt each other's life. And remember, we're acting as a couple only in front of his and my parents so you also need to keep your mouth shut."
Jimin just nodded obediently with a thumbs up.
"Well... then what do you know about him? I mean... you've already meet his parents but... something more... like where is he from, what do he do, is he dating someone else or not... is he---"
"Jimin... Don't ask me anything about him. I don't know anything."
Taehyung closed his eyes.
"But at least you can say if he's handsome or not."
Jimin said as he rest his head on his palm when he turned towards him.
"Well... He... do look good but--"
Taehyung opened his eyes when he heard Jimin laughing loudly.
"At least you know it."
Jimin tried to hold his laugh when he got a dead glare from Taehyung.
"Well... Taehyung... Even if it's only for 3 months, you're still going to marry him. Aren't you... at least... curious about him?"
Taehyung closed his eyes, ignoring his best friend's questions. To be honest, he's curious too, how can someoone who is a total stranger would still help him and do whatever the stupid things he made him to do. But he shrugged his curiosity off from his head. Why? Because for him, once he got to know and took someone into his life, good or bad, it's really hard for him to let them go. And that's also why he didn't want to date anyone, because his heart would be too weak to control the emotions he will get if they break up or hurt him.

Jungkook and Taehyung were sitting together as they wait for the designer to bring out their wedding suits.
"Mr. Jeon Jungkook and Mr. Kim Taehyung. Your suits are all ready here. Please try them out. This way please."
A young lady came out and bowed at them politely.
"Hey... Make sure not to drool yourself over me when I come out wearing my suits. I might be sparkling right there."
Jungkook said with a wink before following the lady.
Taehyung's expression looked so done as he scoffed and rolled his eyes at the other before following the another lady who lead him to other dressing room.
Taehyung put the last button of his black suits as he checked himself on the mirror for the last time before coming out from the dressing room.
He looked around but Jungkook still hasn't come out yet.
But just when he was about to turned back, his eyes stucked on the person who was walking out of the dressing room towards him in black suits who was literally glowing under the tubelights. His black hair that pulled backwards showing his forehead was making him look even more manlier and more handsome.
"I told you not to drool over me."
Jungkook whispered as he lean towards Taehyung's ears making the other flinch.
"W-when did I?"
Taehyung turned his gaze somewhere else.
"Is that so? I thought you finally acknowledged my charm."
Jungkook smiled as he took a step backwards.
"Then... Tell me how do I look in this. Do I fit to be your groom now?"
Taehyung finally looked at Jungkook. But wait... when did this jerk become so handsome all of a sudden or was he denying the fact all this time? He must be lying if he deny Jungkook is not handsome at all wearing that black suits with a white shirt under it.
"Umm... It's... not bad... It looks fine..."
Taehyung turned as quickly as he could and stood in front of the big mirror, making himself busy checking himself but his eyes fixed at the reflection of the person on the mirror other than him who came closer and leaned towards him from back with a smile.
"You're such a strange person huh? Why did you go away before I say anything about how you look in that? You don't want me to compliment about you?"
Taehyung felt his face burning up as his heart did something unfamiliar flips inside that the other could've easily felt it if not for the tiny gap between them.
"I don't need your compliment."
Taehyung was about to walk away but...
"You look so beautiful in that suit."
Jungkook smiled as he leaned more closer.
"But... I'm just gonna act like I don't see you blushing just now."
Jungkook winked as he walked away leaving a frozen Taehyung with a red face.
"Let's go. We need to buy our rings too."
Taehyung mentally slapped himself. What happened just now? Why his face burnt up all of a sudden? Why he felt something inside his chest when Jungkook leaned towards him?
They were a total stranger just a few days ago. They don't even know anything about each other.
But isn't it funny that life still made them meet and crash their worlds?
"What do you do for living anyway?"
Taehyung asked breaking the silence inside the car.
They were on their way back to Taehyung's house after they got their wedding rings.
"Me? Hmm... Why do you ask? You finally want to know about me?"
Jungkook said as his eyes still focused on the road.
"I just simply asked. It's fine if you don't want to tell me."
Taehyung crossed his arms as he turned his face to the window.
"I work in a company."
Jungkook said making Taehyung to snap his head back.
"Which company?"
"JJ Creation."
"WHAT?"
Taehyung almost jumped from his seat.
"JJ Creation? That gaming company?"
Taehyung dropped his jaw after he got a nod from Jungkook.
"What? I'm just a game animator. I just finished my internship in that company three months back and I finally started working full time last month only. Nothing special."
Jungkook continued after seeing Taehyung's shocked face.
Well... Who wouldn't if he just casually say he's working in the most popular gaming company?
"Woah... Seriously? Wait... I guess that's why you won the game that day."
Taehyung said with his wide eyes while Jungkook just shrugged his shoulders and began to focus on his driving again.
"How is it working there?"
"Umm... Nothing much special. It's sometimes really tiring working there day and night. But everything is quite interesting if that's what you want to do. Right?"
Jungkook said, never living his eyes from the road.
"You must've like video games so much then right?"
Taehyung asked again.
"Now you want to know more about me huh? Are you finally interested in me?"
Jungkook smirked as he looked at Taehyung.
Taehyung just sighed as he rolled his eyes.
"Forget it."
"Why? Don't want to know anymore?"
"Yes, I don't want it."
Taehyung turned his face.
"But you asked me right?"
"So what?"
Taehyung shrugged his shoulders.
"I can tell you everything about me if you want to know."
"Please don't. Thank you."
Taehyung faked a smile.
"What if I want you to know? We're getting married."
"Shut up and drive."
"I'm driving."
"Urghhh...!!!"
"Hahaha...!!"
"Why are you laughing?"
"Now I can't laugh?"
"Who said you can't?"
"You."
"When did I say it?"
"Just now."
"I didn't. I just asked why you laughed."
"Isn't it the same thing?"
"No."
"It is."
"Not at all."
"Fine. You're right. Happy?"
"Whatever."
