As soon as Jungkook arrived at the Goryo Group's electronic training center, the employees who had been waiting for him immediately bowed respectfully. Everyone moved to make room for him, and the elevator doors opened as if they had been waiting for him all along. As usual, people were still reluctant and afraid of him.

If this is how it's done, I feel like I have devil horns on my head, Jungkook thought.

Although he was used to it, he felt too much like a monster or something today. He only nodded briefly in response to the employees who dared not look him in the eyes and opened the door to the meeting room where Jason was waiting for him.

Several folders full of neatly organized white papers sat on the large meeting table. He seemed to have never asked for those documents and had no idea what they were. His visit to that place was only because of Jason's call and was not on his agenda.

"What's this?"

"Curriculum Vitaes1 of the women who want to be your wife. The interview is today. So, how was it?"

Jason inquired, his face lit up as he looked over the stack of documents. It was fantastic that people were interested in the contract wife advertisement.

Despite the fact that the ad was only up for one day, tens of thousands of people registered in this manner. Among those tens of thousands, nearly 1,000 people successfully passed the requirements alone.

"What how?"

"You're the one who started spreading this ad, so you should be held accountable. I obviously can't be excluded from the selection of your girlfriend, or future wife."

Jason shoved the documents at Jungkook, who frowned.

"It depends on you. After all, there can't be anyone sane among these people."

"So, what is your main criterion? Appearance? Education? Or just random?"

"Never mind, I'm dizzy. What's the point of a woman's appearance or education sending a resume from such an ad?"

Jungkook pushed the box of documents neatly arranged on the table to the floor. There was a loud thud, and the papers were strewn across the floor.

"Just get rid of the ones below and choose one of the ones that remain."

He had hoped to solve this problem rationally, but there were apparently too many crazy women in this world.

He only needed to show that he had a girlfriend and was planning to marry. It wasn't particularly difficult. But it didn't appear to be easy either.

It was difficult to find a woman who could be used as a temporary wife, who could compromise to pretend to be in love with each other, and who was easy to leave later.

He certainly disliked women who were only interested in the Goryo Group's mistress status.

"Hmm, I appear to be as insane as you."

"Never mind, don't complain so much. I know you enjoy doing this."

Jungkook, detecting a happy tone in Jason's grumbling, responded curtly.

"Well, it wasn't bad; it was kind of like watching a live supermodel election. Reality show."

Jason, who nodded in agreement with Jungkook's words, giggled softly as he sorted through the papers on the floor. After all, the problem was already like this. He really wanted to find a suitable woman for Jungkook.

"Who do they think they are to send such an aimless proposal?"

"They must be unaware that I am an arrogant child born out of wedlock."
