“At the end of the day,” Jeongguk says, bringing his tea mug to his lips but not drinking. “The easiest way to settle this is just you admitting that I'm better in bed than you.”
As a cupid, Seokjin gives love and happiness to those who need it, using his magic to bring people together. He's convinced himself it's enough, that craving a love story of his own would be selfish and impractical. He should have known the universe would have other plans.
Hedge Fund wunderkind and Certified Awkward Gay Jungkook needs a sugar baby to show off at work, and Professional Competitive Eater and Objectively Beautiful Human Jin just wants to stop working shitty side-jobs. Fake Sugar Daddy AU. A trope and a half.
Jeongguk signs up for cooking classes and meets the love of his life. Seokjin teaches cooking classes and meets his mortal enemy.
"Please help me," Jungkook says in the most piteous voice the elder has ever heard in his life, pale and pallid with fear.
'Lord,' Seokjin thinks, very calmly in resignation, 'please give me the strength.'
He's been on board the Aria for just shy of an hour. Already, this vacation is giving him a headache strong enough to rival a hangover.
Rising star Kim Seokjin and former child actor fresh out of rehab Jeon Jeongguk are assigned by their entertainment companies to fake a relationship in order to build a more positive public image. But will the gimmick only make their image worse?
"good afternoon," jeongguk says. "do you have a few moments to listen to the word of god?"
the young man in front of him crosses his arms, tilts his head in thought. "depends...what's he saying these days?"
(jeongguk spends the final days before the rapture trying to turn lost souls to the word of god and comes across seokjin who challenges all of his beliefs).
Jeongguk is used to doing most, if not all, of the work with his hookups. That is, until he meets Seokjin.
Like clockwork, Seokjin gets up at 5am everyday. When they were still in love, he would lay a warm hand on Jungkook's bare hip, lips pressing against his cheek. Now, when Seokjin gets up, the bed dips slightly from the loss of his weight and the cold steadily creeps in his absence until it awakens him. They're two strangers sharing the same bed on opposite ends.
To Jungkook, their marriage was a sanctuary. An entirely different world from his own. Safe. It was understood that assassins had a quick turnover. You were either killed or you were in the business long enough to have the desire to walk away drummed into you.
Or you fell in love.
Once upon a time, Jungkook had loved Seokjin too.
Jeon Jungkook scams Kim Seokjin for the money, the fame, and, what the tabloids don't say: the beginnings and the endings of something.
Kim Seokjin owns and runs a boutique hotel known for its sophisticated operations. He's good at what he does, and he loves pleasing his guests. Usually things are quiet and professional at the hotel, just like Seokjin likes it. Until a new guest arrives: Jungkook.
Major crush on Seokjin acting up? Pick him up. Push him into a wall. Challenge him to a duel. Anything to alleviate the need for physical contact under the guise of playing.
Jungkook falls head over heels for the FedEx guy, and it all goes invariably downhill from there.
