Jungkook was beginning to get concerned about Taehyung and his drinking.

The younger had only been on the job for five days now and it seemed that Taehyung was always drinking.

In the morning, noon, and at night. What was his deal? Was he an alcoholic?

"Jin-hyung." Jungkook says knocking on the open door of Seokjin's office.

"Jungkook-ah? What is it?" Jin asks motioning for him to come in.

"I have a question." The younger says. "About Taehyung."

Jin hums turning in his chair and standing up. "What about him specifically?" He asks closing the door softly and ushering Jungkook to a seat in front of his desk.

"Not to sound..rude or anything," Jungkook starts as the older sits down. "but is he an alcoholic of something?"

Jin chuckles uncomfortably smoothing his hair down with his hand. "I wouldn't go as far as to say he's an alcoholic."

Jungkook nods. "But he's drinking an it's not even one o'clock."

"Well." The older says clasping his hands. "He drinks when he's stressed out. And this is a busy part of the year for him. With summer ending and fall approaching. Y'know how it is."

"I guess." Jungkook says bitting the inside of his lip.

"Don't worry your head Jungkook. Worry isn't good for you, it ages you." Jin says standing and walking to a file cabinet. "We have an important event coming up. 2-3 is hosting the annual fashion retreat this year in Seoul. Beauty influencers and models from all over South Korea, Japan, Europe and the U.S will be coming to Seoul."

Jungkook nods pushing Taehyung to the back of his mind.

"This is our first year hosting it so we have to blow everyone out of the water with our style." Jin hands Jungkook a manila folder with papers stacked in it. "That's just some of the looks we took to Japan last year. Taehyung specifically asked to be dressed, quote, "very boring". And he stood out from everyone else. But I guess that was his goal."

Jungkook opens the folder and finds Taehyung's photos from last year and he is honestly breathtaking. He could stand out by just simply being in a room.

Jungkook remembers when the photos were released, Taehyung's hair was brown then and shorter than it is now.

The younger looks up at Jin. "So what do want me to do?"

"Well. You and Taehyung will have to talk it over but I was thinking maybe adding a little more color to the mix." Seokjin says taking the folder.

Before Jungkook can respond the door opens getting both their attention.

Taehyung's presence seems to shift the room.

"Taehyung. We were just discussing the retreat." Jin says stepping from behind his desk and standing beside Jungkook.

"Mhm." Taehyung nods wanting him to continue as he sits down in Jin's seat.

"I was thinking maybe this year we can do more than we did last year." The older says.

"Define more." Taehyung says lazily brushing his hair from his eyes.

"More..like color maybe. More eccentric looks. Try to stand out this year." Jin says biting his lip and waiting to be shot down.

"Alright." Taehyung says standing. "Jungkook. Come."
