When the campus heartthrob Jeon Jungkook who's actually a secret, self-professed romantic at heart, and the innocent country girl Kim Y/N, who's actually not as timid and docile as she seems, end up sharing a dorm for the semester, both discover tha...

THE RESTAURANT JUNGKOOK had chosen was packed to the brim by the time we reached there.
And despite the rather fancy image that I'd constructed in my mind, the actual resplendence of the place exceeded my expectations and I found myself gawking at every little detail of the lavish golden brown themed decorations in the restaurant as one of the waitstaff directed us to our table.
Now, I'd been to a lot of restaurants in the whole twenty years of my life, but it was safe to say that I'd never seen a BBQ restaurant this luxurious.
As someone who'd always known Korean BBQ restaurants to be these overcrowded, noisy places with small, tightly arranged tables overflowing with extremely loud people drunk out of their minds and leftover side dishes, I couldn't even imagine a place like this to be in existence. And for a good reason. There was no way my family could afford to come to a place like this, even while my father was alive. And we were by no means underprivileged.
"So how much exactly is this one dinner going to cost us, Jungkook?" I asked as I slid into an extremely expensive looking, cushioned leather couch across from him. Hell, even the leather smelled like some sort of a fresh, citrusy perfume instead of smelling like spices and grilled meat.
I took another quick look around. There was no way that this place, with all of its shiny, glass coated tiles with golden glitter speckled across their surface and the polished to perfection mahogany tables with gold-rimmed grills placed in their centre, wasn't going to completely rip me off.
I eyed the waitress that came up to our table warily as she gently placed a light brown ceramic plate in front of me, the specks of golden glitter outlining its rim matching the golden chopsticks she placed on top of the plate perfectly.
"I hope two hundred thousand won is enough, because that's all I get for my monthly allowance." I added seriously, noticing that Jungkook had pulled the menu out of my reach and was casually flipping through it, not paying attention to a single word that I was saying.
Or at least pretending not to. Because he gave me an unimpressed look the moment I mouthed 'stupid rich brat' under my breath.
Shooting him a fake smile, I held up two fingers. "So will two hundred be enough?" Or I could just scrape up whatever money I had had left from the trip to Jungkook's beach house. There was only a week left for this month to end anyway, and I was pretty sure the extra money from my part-time translation job would get me through.
"Actually, what about two hundred and fifty?" Feeling optimistic, I tried again. There was no way BBQ could be more expensive than that. But still, Jungkook simply shook his head.
Wow. Was even that not enough?
"How about I just sell a kidney, then?" I remarked sarcastically, my temper rising as Jungkook's lips suddenly twitched up in a small smile before he placed the menu back on the table.
