"Tae, c'mon," you sighed - though the grin on your face suggested that you weren't all that exasperated by the boy in front of you. "Cut it out. You're on stage in literally a minute."
There was hustle and bustle in the dressing room behind the stage, and fans were screaming loud enough to be heard through the walls. It was the final night that they'd be in this city after a three-day leg, an extra date added on to supply the sheer demand of the fans. They'd blown up quite exponentially over the last year or so, and you'd been blessed to watch them all grow and blossom.
"Cut what out?" he pouted, finally releasing his bottom lip from between his teeth.
He had been holding it there for a solid five minutes by this point, forcing you to work on other areas of his skin, touching up blemishes, which were basically non-existent.
There was a casual intimacy to the nature of your interactions, but they weren't exclusive to him - you did all of their make-up, and they could all be little shits from time to time.
You went to swipe the make-up brush across his lip, which had become plump from the blood flow his teeth had restricted, only for him to duck out of the way.
"Oh my god," you almost growled. They only had one segment of the show left, but he'd been acting like a child all day.
"You called?" Jin shouted from across the room, earning laughter from the rest of the boys.
"Fine!" You shrugged, directing your attention back to Tae. His eyes narrowed ever so slightly, but there was a glint in them which suggested that he enjoyed the challenge. "Go on stage looking like a little gremlin. See what I care."
As the rest of the boys began to shuffle out of the dressing room and into their positions on the lifting stage, Tae held back.
Clasping his chin between your fingers, he finally seemed to still his head. You had been expecting more resistance, but he simply let his lips fall naturally.
"That wasn't so hard, now, was it?" You rolled your eyes, though secretly you revelled in your little victory.
Like a thief in the night, Tae was incredibly good at unapologetically taking things that weren't his.
