My fake boyfriend | VMIN

Chapter 19

Q/A: What's the best game you've ever played?
*****************************************************

For a moment there, Jimin didn't know how to respond. Since his goal was to fake it as a straight guy, he needed to act offended, right?

Seeing him silent, Taehyung persuaded, "Actually, don't let this bother you. I think it's best to just ignore it."

Jimin stared blankly......eh?

Taehyung patiently explained, "The photos are already posted, and you can't stop people from gossiping."

Jimin was somewhat startled. Why did it look like Taehyung didn't mind this at all?

While Taehyung talked, he carefully observed Jimin's expression. He really didn't know Jimin's stance on this, and the other seemed adverse to that "fate" joke he made at Loverbirds Lake.

As if afraid of offending Jimin, he kept his tone extremely sincere: "How do I put it, I guess I've had a lot of experience with this kind of thing...... Basically, the more you try to explain, the less people believe you."

Jimin's expression slightly shifted, but didn't say a word.

Taehyung's heart clenched, but forced himself to continue: "And if it looks like you care too much, that'll just make other people think we're......really like that."

After spelling it out to this extent, if Jimin was still adamant about "making things clear", then Taehyung would be very hurt

Even Lee Sung Hoon couldn't sit still and chimed in with, "In any case, the gossip in the forums change every day. Just treat it as a joke and don't take it to heart."

Jimin never expected that his "straight male" act would invite such disapproval.

He wrinkled his brows, and pretending like he's making a difficult decision, said, "Then, alright."

...The two straight guys have already expressed that this kind of thing should be ignored, so as the gay guy, why should he still bother?

Moreover, Taehyung said earlier that he "had a lot of experience with this kind of thing", and Jimin finally remembered that Taehyung 's been the target of multiple love rumors, so this one's merely another drop in the bucket.

Looks like he made a fuss over nothing.

Hearing Jimin's response, Taehyung sighed as it relieved from a burden.

But before he could secretly rejoice, Lee Sung Hoon added, "These 'couple or not' rumors aren't important. What's important is that this thread will cause a lot of other rumors in the future."

Jimin: "What do you mean?

Lee Sung Hoon: "With this many views, sooner or later, someone's going to dig out and divulge your department, class, name, age, height, weight, and even family background!"

Taehyung : "For real?"

Lee Sung Hoon: "What do you think? How much they uncover will depend on how well you normally keep your personal info under wraps. Especially people like you guys who originally lived in this city and have a handsome face. Who knows, maybe doing a simple search online would reveal all sorts of things, and they won't even need to dig that deep."

A shiver ran down Taehyung's back; he had a bad premonition......

Lee Sung Hoon: "I'm not trying to scare you. The person that was mentioned in that thread, the current campus idol Kim SeokJin, have you seen him? Every girlfriend he had, including their names and appearances, it's all posted on that forum!"
