"He's probably late over something stupid."
One of the hairstylists huffs blowing her fringe off of her face.

Nothing new really, you're so sick of hearing her whine all the time, as if she's not aware of how hectic the schedule is especially during their tour, not only the schedule is all over the place, they usually get sick and exhausted during this time so they do deserve to rest for an hour longer at least.

Of course you rolled your eyes and sometimes you would actually leave the entire room the second she starts whining and radiating negative energy to the entire staff, once she starts nagging, the energy shifts right away since over half of the staff don't like her.

You were able to manage though and got used to it since you've been working with her for a couple years now, you figured out a way to reduce your chances of a headache. The moment she starts whining you take your airpods out of your pocket and put them on, blasting the music really high up and totally caring less if you couldn't hear people around you.

Your job was quite sensitive, it took you years to get to where you are right now, you had to be there all the time whether it was broadcasts, practice or even listening parties or stupid birthday parties, you were always there with them.

And being with them for a few years now made you all really close, you understand their characters very well and it's nothing like what people see on TV or their phone screens, they're still human after all, and most importantly, they're still men.

It's four in the afternoon and time is ticking, the concert is supposed to be started by 9 in the evening and they're still not here, and there was still a sound check and practice that had to be done first, you were really behind on schedule. You see the girls standing up at the same time which makes you lower down the music.

You hear footsteps coming from the end of the aisle and the staff are all on standby which means that they're finally here, you take your spot near your station and put your airpods back in their case ready to start on Taehyung's face.

Your work suited his face the best, of course you'd work on everyone's face if they needed you to cover for someone, but you were really skilled and your talent suited his features the most. You've been working on Taehyung for a couple months now.

He gets into the room and yanks his top off, a view you're used to the entire time whether it was him or any of them, he throws himself onto the chair and looks at you once before looking at his reflection in the mirror. "How are you?" A forced smile lingers on his face.

"Good, how are you?" You smile under your face mask, he nods his head. "Sleep deprived, but I should make it."

"Fingers crossed." You cross your own fingers and put a headband around his head to get his hair off of his face, he's growing his hair really tall that he's tying it in a man bun most of the time. "I know what you're thinking, and I'm not planning to cut it off."

He's smarter than what people think, you giggle and nod. "I think it looks good on you." You finally pump some primer onto your hand and start dabbing it onto the skin of his face.

You know people envy you for your job, and in fact you're really happy with it because it pays really well along with other privileges. Their fans probably envy you the most and you know they look really good but you're not attracted to any of them in any possible way. You spent so much time with them that they feel like colleagues.

After all, you and them work for the same company.

He takes his phone out and dims the brightness as he starts rapidly texting someone, his leg anxiously moving up and down, you're used to that too, he must be nervous or tired.
