Taehyung was getting his makeup done for the shoot when the door burst open and in came an angry yelling male being pushed forward against his will screaming nonsense.

"Who is that?"

The model asked his makeup artist since he had his back towards the door and his head held in place by the artist, but the woman was too busy laughing at the scene to reply immediately. Once she stopped and wiped her tears with her free hand, her attention moved on to the male sitting in front of her looking up with curious eyes at her reflection.

"That... Is you costar. The famous Jeon Jungkook."

Taehyung's eyes went wide as he whipped his head around in the chair. He knew who Jungkook was. Everyone knew him.

Everyone also knew that Jungkook absolutely hated gays. Which Taehyung was. Which explained his behavior very well.

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME, HOSEOK. YOU'RE MY MANAGER. KNOW YOUR PLACE. THERE'S NO WAY I'M LETTING THAT TRASH COME ANYWHERE NEAR ME."

Taehyung blinked at the harsh words and uncontrollably said in a low whisper as he faced front again.

"Ouch."

The woman standing next to him patted his shoulder when she saw the gloomy look starting to appear on the gorgeous face of the model.

"Don't worry. I'm sure everything will work out fine. His manager can control him well, as you can see, in case anything does get out of hand."

Taehyung weakly smiled at her not convinced at all but thankful for the support.

"FINE!"

Another yell attracted a few eyes and when Taehyung's makeup artist looked back she saw Jungkook stomping towards the chair where he would get his make up done. When he threw himself in the chair, his makeup artist pressed her lips in thin line before patting his shoulder earning a death glare.

"What?"

The woman cleared her throat before pointing towards the dress designer holding Jungkook's clothes at a little distance.

"Um, you need to change first."

The brunette sighed in annoyance before forcing himself out of the chair and going to change.

"I'm wearing this?"

The person standing in front of him didn't say anything since giving an affirmation meant suicide.

"This is too exposing. I don't want him drooling over me."

The room went silent as soon as the words fell out of brunette's mouth and various eyes darted between the two models. Jungkook was scowling as he stared at the reflection of his costar while Taehyung was looking back at him, shocked.

When the suffocating silence prolonged, the arrogant male threw his hands in the air as he looked at the staff staring at him with mixed emotions.

"He's gay. I'm hot as fuck. Do the maths, you ret-mmhhnnnh"

Before the younger could complete his words, his manager blocked them by putting his hand firmly on the abusive mouth and hissed.

"Shut the fuck up, Jungkook."

The said male glared at the older and jerked his head out of the grip only to be held again with a bonus glare and a threat.

"If you bad mouth your partner, I swear I'll ensure that you become unconscious and get fucked by fifteen people. Tonight!"

The younger model's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Mmnf mnn nnmm?" (what the fuck)

The pink haired man looked dead serious and it sent cold shivers down the spine of his boss.

"You know I can and will do it, so don't test me."

Trying his best not to look intimidated, Jungkook kept glaring at his manager but then sighed exaggeratedly in the hand still clasped on his mouth.

"Nnnn" (fine)

With one last knowing look, Hoseok let the younger go keeping his eyes on him as a warning sign and the brunette silently went to change his clothes mumbling nonsense on his way.

The entire room was dead silent as all that happened and were waiting for some sort of sign to tell them that they could stop holding their breaths. Once the young model disappeared behind the door of a small changing room which he shut a little too harshly, the pinkette turned around with an apologetic smile on his face and immediately bowed in front of the audience.

"I'm truly sorry for that. I know how wrong it sounds when I ask this but please find it in your hearts to let it go. I'll try to make him a better person than he is right now."

Almost everyone shook their heads and moved to make Hoseok stand back up as they felt bad seeing him apologize for the actions of his boss.

"It's not your fault."

"You don't have to do this."

"Please don't apologize."

"You are not his mother. You have nothing to be sorry for."

The embarrassed male straightened up as he kept bowing slightly to everyone before walking over to Taehyung whose expression was unreadable at the moment. Hoseok was worried that the said male was badly hurt and enraged by the outburst for which he was ready to get on his knees but before he could even bow, the elegant model stood up and held him by his shoulders stopping him.

"Please don't."

The humble manager still kept his head low but Taehyung squeezed his shoulders in reassurance.

"Don't worry. I didn't mind. At all. I mean it. Things don't get to me that easily."

Hoseok looked up and saw a bright smile sent to him which he returned hesitantly.

As the mood was lightening up with smiles and small giggles passing around, the sudden stomping ruined it all.

"Let's get this over with!"

More than ten face developed scowls at the familiar voice but before the owner of said voice neared them, Hoseok whispered to the people, more specifically to Taehyung.

"Please bear with it. You won't have to deal with this again."

That earned a mild round of laughter which made the incoming brunette confused but one look at his manager made him bite his tongue and swallow his words.

"Get them ready quickly. Chop chop!"

The enthusiastic order of the director brought everyone back to the realization about what they were there for and the usual shuffling began as Jungkook made his way to his seat to get his hair and makeup done while mentally motivating himself.

Just one day Jungkook. Just one day. After this is over, you can kill Hoseok tonight and then leave this country forever. You will not live here after being in the same room as that 'thing'. Just try your best to, somehow, survive today without getting tainted. That's all you've got to do.
