Taehyung was currently taking a bath, trying to enjoy the warm water, and relax himself.

When he had asked Byung chul to prepare the bath while he talked with his manager, he hadn't expected scented candles and bath oils to await him in the bathroom.

He had asked Jeongguk, though hesitantly, if there was something he could wear after. The elder only asked him to not worry over it, that he'll do something about it.

He still hasn't figured out how he should behave around the elder. Suddenly being bonded to an Original had his brain going haywire.

Should he too bow to him like the rest of the world does? Or should he not? For he was now Jeongguk's bonded soulmate.

He had continued to think while playing with the water until it was cold before stepping out of the tub and drying himself.

He had noticed earlier that he didn't look his best right now.

He looked exhausted.

This is the first time in his undead existence that he had looked anything but like a polished doll.

He really does need the rest Jeongguk had mentioned earlier.

But then he was reminded that Jeongguk, even in this state, had called him beautiful this morning.

His stomach did a thing when he recalled Jeongguk looking at him in such gentle ways.

No... He shouldn't allow himself to think about it too much. He'll only get hurt again.

It's not like he hadn't tried to date anyone. He did, but it just didn't seem to work out.

They all left. He had tried, he had tried to keep them with every fibre of his being. Loved them, gave them all they wanted, and even changed himself but they left.

"You don't have time for me," "You are too clingy," " Don't need you anymore,"

So he decided to just stop for a while, focus on his work and let destiny do the job. And it led him to an Original's door who wants to break the bond.

Should he get his hopes up? He decided not to think too much, but rather go with the flow.

He stepped out of the bathroom to an empty room and one of the outfits he had sported on the runway with.

He hadn't expected Jeongguk to go out of his way to get him this beautiful fluid outfit.

But he wore it nonetheless.

There's also a makeup hamper on the bed that he hadn't noticed earlier. He'll apply Kohl to his eyes to complete the look he decides once he finds it in the hamper.

Jeongguk, if he did this, was really being considerate.

The thoughts of the other were starting to make him feel parched, he's sure his eyes flashed when the older's thought had passed him.
