Shock [BTS X Reader]

Chapter 23: Healing

(Taehyung's POV)

"What happens now?" Tijang pulls away, looking down at his feet.

I almost forgot.

Tijang is known has a highly dangerous criminal all across Asia.

"We can try to stay low... you don't have the best reputation." I try to put it the best way I can.

Tijang's eyes water and he covers his face with his bruised hands.

"Maybe I can give you a makeover to at least try to disguise you..." I scratch my head.

A flash of hope wipes across his face.

"We should get out of here." I grab the keys out of my pocket and jingle them briefly.

I hand Tijang my loose sweatshirt and a pair of large sunglasses as we pull up to the hotel.

Tijang looks around, in awe of the glittering atmosphere.

"You're truly lucky, Taehyung." Tijang whispers with his hands in his pockets.

It hurts to see him in so much pain.

I know for a fact that he regrets his horrible decisions.

I also know that he doesn't know how to fix his mistakes on his own.

That's why I have to help him.

The penthouse is empty, I assume everyone is still staying with (y/n) at the hospital.

I bring him to the large bathroom and rummage through the mirror cupboard.

There's some pastel pink hair dye left from Jimin's new hairdo.

I show Tijang, who is sitting on the edge of the bathtub.

He shrugs and walks over to me.

"Definitely will be something different for me..." He glances at the shelves. "Hey, can I try some of this makeup? I see you wearing it all the time in magazines and everything, it really suits you." He grabs a package of light eyeshadow.

"Of course." I smile at his compliment.

Now that's something different for me.

A compliment from Tijang was something I've never experienced before.

Tijang sits back down on the edge of the bathtub and I place a towel around his neck to protect his clothes.

"Ready?" I look down at him.

"Ready as I'll ever be." His face shows no emotion.

The bleach runs through his scalp and his hair soon turns a very pale blonde.

"In goes the pink." I say with a light smile.

In a matter of seconds, Tijang's hair is already mochi pink.

"You'll be matching with Jimin." I laugh.

Tijang's laugh is so strange to me.

It sounds like it's the first time he's ever laughed.

I finish the steps on the bottle and look at his fluffy pink head of hair.

"Now you're styling!" I fix his loose strands.

Tijang stands up and looks in the mirror. He takes a minute to take in his new self.

"I love it, Tae." He looks at me with a huge smile on his face.
