i did this thing once, now i do this other thing [mark tuan//jaebum]

the air between jaebum and mark has been tense ever since.

mark had thought things over and decided that it was a matter of the past and that it should be forgotten.

but the thing is, mark found it very hard to approach jaebum.

the following day, the boys had a commercial shoot. a swim wear commercial shoot.

jackson was so thrilled by the prospect of getting to show off his body that he started practicing his poses at 6 in the morning.

he pranced into mark's room and said,"hyung! hyung! how should I pose?"

mark rubbed his eyes groggily.

"why are you up so early? what do you want?" mark groaned.

"how should I pose for the swim-?" jackson got cut off by jaebum.

"you're so noisy please get out." jaebum's tone was so stern that jackson didn't dare to come up with a rebuttal.

seeing jackson so dejected, mark said,"do you want me to practice your poses with you? we could do it in your room. since you sleep alone, we wouldn't be disturbing anyone."

jackson looked up at mark like an excited little puppy.

jackson hopped over and dragged mark into his room.

mark sat on the bed and chuckled,"alright mr wild and sexy, show me what you've got."

jackson proceeded to show a series of poses to mark, which mark barely paid attention to due to his partially awake mind.

"what do you think of it?" jackson asked.

mark immediately perked up,"not bad! you looked like you jumped straight off the cover of vogue!"

jackson clapped excitedly.

"alright are you their coordi? please bring them to the dressing room and assign each of them 2 swimming trunks." the photographer said to mark.

mark herded the boys obediently into their dressing room.

he headed towards the abundant rack of swimming trunks, feeling awkward as he handed them out.

all of them began to strip in front of mark.

alarmed, mark quickly asked,"what are you guys doing!"

"changing?" yugyeom said.

"obviously but... right here? there are rooms for you to change in you know." mark said.

"hyung! what a hassle! besides, there's nothing we haven't seen." bambam shrugged.

by then, all the members were already in their assigned swim wear.

mark's jaw dropped a little as he gawked at their god-like bodies.

it's almost as if they came from another planet where an alternate gravitational force makes only the right parts stick out.

"take a picture, it'll last longer." jinyoung teased.

"you... you guys better go. I can hear the photographer calling for you." mark stuttered, embarrassed to be caught staring.

-

it's been 45 minutes and the boys haven't even finished the shoot for their first pair of swim wear.

mark had been bored out of his wits waiting. had it been a more lenient photographer, they would already be taking the last group shot now.

suddenly he heard somebody call him.

"you! over there! coordi-ssi!"
