How To Survive Being BTS Makeup Artist

Chapter 7

It was 5 in the morning. I didn't get any sleep, partially due to the abrupt change in timezones, but mostly because of BTS's schedule that started at 6 in the morning. Starting from today, I would be in charge of Taehyungs makeup. I will be applying makeup on Taehyung for the long waited live music show recording, it was their comeback stage for YNWA.

I headed to the bathroom which was conveniently located right across from my bedroom. I flicked on the lights only to face with my half dead reflection.

"Oh god, I'll need a serious work of makeup to cover these panda eyes." I thought, getting a closer look into my reflection in the mirror.

I quickly washed my face and started with my skincare more extensively than usual to show that my skin is not at all tired from zero sleep. After my base makeup I decided to go for lightly filled brows with minimal eye make up. After all, it was the boys makeup, more specifically Taehyungs that I needed to worry about more than myself.

I glanced over at my phone to see that it was 5:36 and had less than 30 minutes until I needed to head out. Quicking returning back to my bedroom, I grabbed a white tee and light washed ripped jeans and a simple beige cardigan to throw over top. As I was almost finished changing , my phone buzzed and I turned my head to see that it was a text from the boys manager.

The text said: "Sukyung ssi, I'm running a bit late so would you please check on the guys to see if they're ready?"

Quickly texting back I said: "Yes I'll go check on them right now!"

As soon as the text had sent I grabbed my already prepared makeup bag that I had packed beforehand and my black cross over bag and headed out the door.

I started up the stairs to the boys apartment and rang the door bell. The door clicked open soon after.

"Hyung come inside we're almost ready." Said a deep raspy voice.

I was greeted with Taehyung, but a shirtless one, with a towel across his waist, rubbing another towel against his hair that blocked his view from noticing that I wasn't who he assumed it was.

Not knowing where to look I dropped my eyes to the floor, and hurriedly covered my mouth to stop myself from making a peep. Taehyung had already walked away into another room and didn't seem to have caught on.

What a sight first thing in the morning...

Cupping my warm cheek I grabbed my phone from my pocket to see that it was already 5:45. I timidly walked inside and knocked on each bedroom door, each and everyone loud and noisy on the other end.

"Um, it's the new makeup artist Sukyung, are you guys almost ready?" I announced shyly.

The bedrooms went dead silent, and the members started to walked out one by one, each with an expression of shock, but most especially Taehyung.

"I thought it was manager hyung Sukyung ssi, I didn't expect to hear a womens voice." Said J-hope in a light joking tone.

"Jeez Taehyung, should have warned us that it was makeup artist Sukyung ssi and not our manager." Commented Suga.

Taehyung didn't say anything back, not that I was particularly expecting him to much.

*buzz

I looked at my phone to face a text from the manager.

: "Are the guys ready? I'm here now outside the apartment."

I glanced up at the guys for a second, and at that moment I caught Jungkooks' stare...as well as Taehyungs'. Tae just looked down at his phone immediately, and Jungkook smiled as he gave a slight nod.

"How cute."

*ding

I looked down at my phone again.

"...cute? I think that was for someone else? Haha."

I gasped and immediately texted back

: "oh I'm so sorry.. I'll bring the boys outside right this instant!"

I shut off my phone and placed it back inside my jean pocket.

"The manager is here! We should start heading out now." I annouced.

"Oh man I lost the track of time, we should really head out guys." Told Rapmon amongst the guys.

"Thank you Sukyung ssi for coming down to check on us, we would have gotten a scolding the first thing in the morning if we were running late!"

"It's no problem really...haha" I replied, in the most awkward tone of voice.

One by one they headed out, and Taehyung was the last to go and I was behind him, ready to head out myself. As I thought he was about to exit he made an abrupt stop. I bumped my head against his back, shocked from the sudden stop. Taehyung turned to face me, meeting my gaze. He stepped in closer towards my direction, and I stepping a step backwards. He slowly came towards me closer and I eventually came in contact against a wall.

"T-Taehyung, we should probably go. Your manager is waiting for you and-" My sentence came to a pause with Taehyung leaning his face closer to mine, our faces merely a few centimetres away from each other. He stared at my eyes which were widened with shock and confusion. Soon after he leaned his face closer again and my immediate response was to squeeze my eyes shut.

"Take good care of me from now on, Sukyung ssi." He whispered into my hear with his raspy morning voice.
