Jackson walked happily through the corridors on his way to the studio. When he heard that Hoseok had been summoned for a meeting with Mr. Bang, he almost jumped for joy. Finally. By now, Hoseok must be signing the documents.

There's another reason for his happiness: today is the photoshoot with his beloved Taehyung. Jackson has nothing against the guy, but bothering him has been a great source of entertainment.

With entertainment in mind, he heads to the studio before the scheduled time to prepare everything and put another little plan into action.

Upon entering the studio, he sees some staff members setting up equipment and lights, so he heads to the dressing room. There he finds who he was looking for: the campaign stylist. With a kiss on the cheek, they greet each other like old acquaintances.

"So, you're helping me, right?"

"I don't do charity, Wang," she raised her palm, and Jackson gave a mischievous smile. He reached into his suit and handed her an envelope, "you're a bitch."

The stylist took the envelope and stuck her tongue out at him, signaling for Jackson to follow her, "but an efficient bitch, everything is already prepared. Your model wears ten, the biggest trouser here is eight. One of the main pieces is a six. Maybe he can get into an eight, but his big ass won't get through a six."

Jackson picked up one of the garments and checked the labels; they read size ten. He requested that the stylist remove the original label and sew in Taehyung's size. If he wants to play a prank, it has to be well-executed. And the stylist was more than willing to assist.

The collection consisted of leather clothing with little to no stretch. This was even better for the prank. Whether it fits or not in leather pants, there's no pretending like with jeans.

"Good job, Hana. I don't need to tell you that if anything about this leaks, I'll find a way to fire you from your company, right?"

"Darling, I'm a professional. Now go screw yourself and let me finish my work before the rest of the crew arrives."

Jackson playfully slapped her on the butt and skipped off to the main studio, where he came face-to-face with Yoongi. "You're in a good mood today, Wang. A sign that something bad is about to happen!"

Jackson pinched the photographer's cheeks with his fingertips and offered a wide smile. "Yoongi, today will be perfect splendid! Don't be so grumpy and pessimistic." Yoongi shrugged off the model's hands and began setting up his equipment.

Jackson hopped to the back of the studio and settled into a dark corner. He doesn't plan to interact; his goal is to watch and enjoy the unfolding scenes.

As Taehyung entered the BE building, he heard someone shouting his name. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw Bogum sitting in a café, waving at him. Taehyung waved back and continued determinedly toward the elevator, pressing the button.

While waiting, he felt a hand on his elbow. "Wow, you ignored my invitation for coffee? We still have some time before the photoshoot." Taehyung noticed Bogum's subtle gesture inviting him, but he decided to ignore it and pretend nothing happened. "Oh, sorry. I thought you were just saying hello. I prefer to arrive early; this building is still like a maze to me."

"Not a problem, I'll go with you. I know this place like the back of my hand," Taehyung smiles and thanks him, mentally hoping that someone else will appear to share the elevator with them. He has nothing against Bogum, but he'd like to avoid giving fodder for rumors.
