Namjoon sighed as he scrolled through countless articles and many pages of useless shit he didn't need. He was researching ways to make it seem as if Jimin had a second parent so he could be accepted into the school.

He was so damn tired. His tired eyes slowly danced towards the bottom right corner of the screen, '4:02AM' glowing in his vision. Namjoon groaned, slamming his empty cup of coffee onto the table in front of him. 'How hard is it to get a random guy to date you anyways?'

When Namjoon reached the 18th page of Google results, he finally found something that looked promising, however it was seemingly not relevant to the search of a fake parent.

"Family Love Corp? Is this a company for incest or some shit? Let's take a look." Namjoon clicked the page and it loaded slowly, the obnoxious blue circle circling on repeat.

"Bloody load already!" After 30 seconds, which Namjoon suspected might've been out of pure irritation, the page finally loaded.

"Rent a family member, boyfriend/girlfriend or a husband/wife today! Wait, what the fuck?" Namjoon grabbed his laptop and raised it in the air, shaking it gently.

"Tell me that I'm not delusional, you can RENT people?" Namjoon went on to read the description of the site, eyes widening more and more as he read further on.

"So, let's apply." Namjoon clicked on apply and was presented with an excessively long form.
