🎶: 'I Got Love' by Taeyeon

Beomgyu and Taehyun stood there on the set, appalled by the sudden and absolutely unacceptable suggestion.

The cameraman exhaled.

"Look, it's simple. The two of you need to act as a couple so that people will be more interested in buying the magazine and collection, and that attention will drift away from the situation between both brands!"

"Sir, I have a boyfriend!" Taehyun exclaimed.

"That doesn't matter; just do it!"

Beomgyu shook his head in disbelief.

"No, I won't allow this; we're playing even more risky cards here!"

"We are the ones who will lose our jobs if we don't do something here Mr Choi! At least you and Mr Kang will have your jobs secured!"

Taehyun shook his head and his hands started trembling.

"N-No... I can't do this!"

"Sir, please, we need to also consider our models' feelings; they aren't robots just serving us," Mr Jung tried to argue.

The cameraman ignored his words, and turned around to the hair and outfit stylists, who were ready to do their job.

"Style them up to look more matching, okay?" he instructed.

"Okay sir."

So then the two models found themselves back in the dressing room, getting styled and dolled up again, having no other choice but to obey and comply.

Taehyun was on the brink of tears while in the dressing room; he was pretty much betraying his own boyfriend by doing something like this. Worst of all, he couldn't even let him know about this because Kai was shooting an intense action scene a couple kilometers outside of Seoul.

And Beomgyu knew that too, which is why he was so against the whole idea: He couldn't do this with someone who already has his own partner!

But this was the modeling industry.

Here, you have no choice except to follow instructions given by your superiors.

Beomgyu exhaled as he thought that, just as the stylists were done gelling and styling his hair.

"Perfect, you guys will look like a couple," the stylist smiled reassuringly, attempting to loosen the tension.

Taehyun and Beomgyu looked at each other in the mirror, and there was a painfully obvious 'no' hovering over them.

Their outfits did look rather nice though: Taehyun had a black coat paired with maroon pants and a beige sweater with black embroidery, along with light brown heeled boots. His hair was styled to show a little of his forehead, and the soft natural makeup contemplated his looks.

Beomgyu was adorned in brown clothes: a long tan coat, a dark brown turtleneck, and brown pants paired with black boots.

The two wondered how they even had these extra clothes in stock; did they perhaps even plan something like this beforehand?

There was no time to ask, as another staff member popped his head into the dressing room.

"Come on, it's time."

They went back on set, and for the first time in their lives, they absolutely hated going on there to do their profession.

"Okay, Beomgyu you stand on the right, and Taehyun, you stand on the left and you place an elbow on Beomgyu's shoulder, got it?" their cameraman instructed.
