Chaeyoung was tired, it has been a week the same guy keeps coming to the patisserie. And at the same time, it has been a week Chaeyoung keeps avoiding the guy.
Thanks to the glass window, she could see when the guy walking towards the store and she will quickly make up some excuse then hiding inside the kitchen. She doesn't know until when she needs to act like this.
Maybe she should just ask the man to stop coming to the store. But what if the guy came just for the Tokyo Banana roll cake? not for her?

The clock shows 7.30 pm, and Jeon Jungkook still in his office. He doesn't even raise his head when he heard someone knocking the door.
"Get in..." Jungkook said, enough or the person outside herd his voice.
"Boss," Bambam, one of Jungkook's men walks inside with a file in his hands.
Jungkook stops from working, he removes his glasses that he only wore when he's in working mode. He doesn't need to ask anything as the person passed the file to him.
"All of her details were inside there..."
Jungkook nods as he opens the file and slightly reading the information from the first page to another page.
"And...I just know about this a few minutes ago..." Bambam a little bit hesitant to continue.
Jungkook raises his eyebrows, "What is it?"
"Tonight she will have dinner with the man that her adoptive family chooses as her husband." Bambam bites his lower lip.
"That old man?"
Bambam nods.
Jungkook takes a deep breath, he really couldn't understand her. She slept with him then avoiding him like a plague, and now having dinner with an old man?! He closed his laptop and pack his things... "Let me know where she is now."
Park Chaeyoung looks at the old man in front of her, Mr. Jae Seong. From his face, she knows he's aged between 50 - 60 and it's confirmed that he had a wife. So this is the man that her family wanted her to marry...and being the second wife.

The man in front of her still talking with a happy smile on his face, bragging about his business and wealth. But Chaeyoung doesn't care at all about all that, she wanted to reject him after she finishes her dinner.
"I just come back from Paris and I have bought a present for you, it's a diamond ring...it will look perfect on your finger..." Jae Seong touches Chaeyoung's left hand on the table and caressing her ring finger.
Chaeyoung was shocked with his bold move, she tries to move her hand politely but the man tightened his hold. She was about to pull harshly but suddenly a hand coming from beside her and remove the Jae Seong's hand from hers.
"It's rude touching someone's girlfriend..." ーA male voice said before a full figure appears beside Chaeyoung.
Both Chaeyoung and the Jae Seong gaping looking at the person...
"Who are you?" Jae Seong asked, wondering who's the man who just interrupted him.
"Me?" The man asked back, then he looks at Chaeyoung. "So you didn't tell him that you have a boyfriend?"
Chaeyoung's mouth open, she wanted to ask what he's doing here? But he cut her off...
"I'm Jeon Jungkook, her boyfriend."
"You have a boyfriend? Your family said you're single and wanted to marry me!" Jae Seong said in an angry tone.
Wanted to marry you? ーChaeyoung felt like she ready to throw up at the words. But again the guy who she just remember his name quick to answer...
"Marry you? She's mine...our relationship was serious. We have slept together and-"
"Stop it," Chaeyoung stands up to cover his mouth but Jungkook holds her hand and continues talking...
"If you don't trust me then I can tell you that I remember where exactly her birthmark and her sensitives-"
"Yes, he's my boyfriend." Chaeyoung cut him off, she didn't look at Jungkook but her eyes focus on Mr. Jae Seong. "I'm sorry, I agree with dinner because I wanted to clarify this. To me, you are old enough to be my father. How did you have the confidence to come to me? My family didn't know about my boyfriend, that's why they thought you can be with me. But I'm sorry...I have better taste than them."

She pulls Jungkook to leave with her, somehow Jungkook's appearance saved her from staying too long with the old man.
Jae Seong didn't say anything when Chaeyoung leaving and pulling Jungkook with her. But his face was red, anger. After he saw Chaeyoung walk off from the restaurant with her boyfriend, he made a call... "The Jung family has gone too far in this matter. Park Chaeyoung already has a boyfriend, but they still introduced her to me. I don't need to beg for someone who has nothing to be my wife. Reject all of our business ties with them!"
"What are doing here? You should stop looking for me!" Chaeyoung said in anger as they reach outside the restaurant and a little bit far from the crowd.
"So you're avoiding me from me but okay meeting with an old man? I really don't understand you," Jungkook said, cold.
"Wait, what happened between us is an accident and-"
"Because you actually wanted to sleep with Jaehyun? And you don't even know how Jaehyun look like, that's how you end up with me," Jungkook cut her off.
Chaeyoung feels like someone squeezing her heart. The way Jungkook saying it...it makes her sounds dumb and easy... "You don't understand..."
"I do understand," Jungkook says, he takes a few steps closer to Chaeyoung. There's no way he would tell her that he had investigated her background and has his man following her to get details about her. So he just left with the last option...she needs to know that he was serious...
"You can date me," Jungkook said in a serious voice.
"W-what?" Chaeyoung feels dizzy, she couldn't understand this man.
"I know this sounds unbelievable, but I think I fell in love with you when we first met at the club. I wanted to explain but you always hiding every time I look for you."
Chaeyoung's eyes widen at his confession. This handsome man in front of her was perfect, from his clothing and how he carry himslef...she knows he's wealthy but she still can't believe that he fell for her at the club?. His face is handsome and when he clenched his jaw, his face looks cold and serious. But when he confessed, his voice contrast to his appearance.
He still looking at her, as if waiting for her to say something.
Chaeyoung fake a laugh...awkward. "I-I'm sorry...I really couldn't think right now. This is hard to believe."
Jungkook says in his serious voice... "One month."
"One month?" Chaeyoung looks up at him, confused.
"Go out with me for one month...and I'll prove my feeling for you" Jungkook states, an aura of determination surrounding him.
"Jeonー"
"Please, one month." Jungkook cut her off "I won't waste your time, I promise." Then he reaches for the Chaeyoung's hand, only to kiss it.
Chaeyoung froze in place, stunned by the gesture and how straightforward Jeon Jungkook was being.
"Okay." Chaeyoung doesn't know if it was a good decision or not. She doesn't know this man. The only memory she has was he's good in bed and have an amazing body. So she doesn't have any idea how 'date' with this man could be a good idea.
But all she knows he looks extra handsome when he asking her "Really?" and hugs her when she nodded.
'I'll prove you I'm the one and make you stop looking at another man...' ー That's what she heard he mumbles when he hugged her.

8 7639Mana Soul
Like many others across the multiverse, Markus was chosen as this world's hero to fight against the steadily approaching cataclysm. Only, something went horribly wrong. Left with only a handful of memories, Markus has spent years clawing his way up from poverty and officially registered as an adventurer to try and make his fortune. Unfortunately, Artificers are the least combat-capable class of the four classes, and Markus has no connections to join an established party. With the fate of countless worlds hanging in the balance, a chance meeting will determine the course of a war nearly as old as reality itself. Warning: Markus has trauma induced amnesia and will occasionally 'act out of character' or make 'poorly thought out' decisions. These events are rather obvously telegraphed abd represent conflicts between his current personality and the one repressed alongside his trauma. Just something to bear in mind.The story will bounce predominantly back and forth between the primary protagonists every couple of chapters. The time stream is linear, so events are not revisted/rehashed/retold through the narrative format. Characters may comment on something that has occurred, but that's different. Just giving a heads up.Chapters will be around 7-9k and updated 1/week on the same schedule as my other story Ogre Tyrant over the weekend.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
