All Chapters of Be My Pretend Girlfriend: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Narrator Later that afternoon, even though it was nearing the end of office hours, not Chris nor Jihyun stopped their work. Jihyun wasn’t lying when she told her mother she'd had her hands full. As for Chris, on the other hand, he was trying to juggle and settle a few pieces of paperwork as his father was interested in buying a new piece of land in Beijing, China. “Chris!! Oppa!! Where are you?” the younger female yelled as she entered the office with Luke tailing behind her. Disturbing the peace in Chris’s quiet office, they left the door wide open. Not once caring to close it or wait for Jihyun’s return. “Wait…Aliaa? Luke?” Chris looked up from his papers, shocked by the sudden noise. He frowned when the female happily skipped towards his couch and slumped down. “Hiii!” she beamed, making Luke chuckle. Staring at them for a few moments, Chris tried to see if his eyes were playing tricks on him, but it was futile when Aliaa giggled at something Luke said. Sighing, he put down his

NarratorAfter the long and horrible day for Jihyun, the only thing she wants is her bed and to sleep it all away. The events of the day were something she doesn’t want to think about. Or at least until she’s freshened up. The least would be, to leave her alone to her thoughts and let her reboot her mind till she’s ready.Letting her body sink into her soft queen size bed, Jihyun moaned at the softness and bounciness of it. Sleeping seemed like the best option after everything, but she knows, if she doesn’t shower now, she won’t till the next day. She internally wished her parents, specifically her mother, won’t come and bother her for not showing up at dinner earlier.Her tired ears picked up the sound of the door opening, “Hyun baby, you are home early,” instead of her mother, it was her sister who greeted her sarcastically. The older woman stood by her bedroom door, hands on her hips. “Very funny unnie,” of course she knew why her sister said that. Her mother had been blasting her

Narrator“So, these are your friends… What are their names again?” Jihyun asked as she munched on the doughnuts her boss requested her to buy. Chris had a sudden craving to eat the dessert, so she ran to the same café as yesterday to buy it. Not that she was complaining, she liked their sweets too.“Oh, right!” he sat next to her after biting the custard-filled doughnut, putting it aside, and taking the picture from her hands. Instead of talking, Chris stared at her intently and Jihyun looks at him weirdly. She was not expecting him to look so, hyped up and act so strange. ”Weirdo,” she inwardly rolled her eyes at him and gestured for him to go on.“This is Philip and Xiuming, these two are the same age as me and Luke. Then there’s Luke, you met him yesterday. He and I met them when we got into high school, during freshmen days,” The guys he pointed out were in between him as h

Narrator “So… how’s life going? Is it hard working for him and dating him? Aren't you bored seeing Chris so much? Does he take advantage of the fact you two work in the same building?” Xiuming asked those questions to Jihyun like some bullet train, making the female overwhelmed. Before she could retort, someone exhaled beside her. Chris had a pissed-off face next to her as he glared at his friends. “Stop asking her questions already!” he did not hide his irritation, yet it only made his friends smirk at his reaction.Because… it’s not every day they can see him this riled up, especially if the source is a woman.“No! She hasn’t answered yet,” Philip added, quiet childishly, making Chris groan and cupped his face in annoyance. “One of these days, I am going to kill you guys for doing this,” but they merely laughed it off and contin

NarratorThe car ride was super awkward, and Chris was killing himself on the inside for being so reckless. As much as it sounds absurd, he wanted to talk to Jihyun comfortably even after what he did. He was slightly regretting the kiss but then again, he felt good that he did. The kiss felt that good. ”She won’t ask me anyway, since I told her not to…” He smirks a bit at the thought, feeling relieved instead.As for Jihyun, the awkwardness was an advantage on her end. Why? Because she doesn’t have to listen to him or get teased by him. Especially after the kiss, Chris initiated a while ago. “Why did he kiss me anyway? None of his friends or acquaintance was there… well… they got there and… oh god…! Stop thinking about it Jihyun…!” she hoped Chris didn’t see her blush as she recalled the way his lips assaulted her and made her breathless.The moment they arrived at the resort, the bellboy took their luggage away and sent it to the room after the valet staff took his car. He asked the f
