~Facing One of Many Fears~

Yoongi's POV

After speaking to Taehyung, I suddenly felt confident- finally able to face one of my many fears. It somehow refreshing I guess, even if I didn't tell him the whole story. I mean, I have told Kookie about it before, but that was years ago.

But why would my mother work here? I never new she was into modelling? I haven't really heard from her ever since I moved to the apartment so I guess she found new hobbies, maybe even a boyfriend.

Tae and I walked hand in hand down the winding corridors back to the studios. Usually, when something like this happened with me and Taehyung I would get flushed and embarrassed but now it's relaxing and comforting, like it's just normal to do it.

We walk through the soundproof doors into the studio where I instantly regret my decision of coming back. My mother is talking to one of the camera men, kindly speaking to him in a way that I haven't heard in a very long time. Taehyung senses my hesitation and turns around to me, his gaze now locked onto mine.

"Hey, maybe I could tell your mother that your ill and that you can't carry on-"

"No, Tae. I-I don't want to run away from my fears anymore. I need to face them head on. But... is it alright that we don't tell her I'm a boy or her son.." My voice lowly goes quieter at the end of the sentence, not wanting to have been heard.

Tae smiles sweetly at me, his boxy grin soon creeping onto his face. I can't help but smile at it.

"Oh your back. Are you alright?" I instantly froze, my head dropping towards the floor.

I feel myself being pulled gently into Taehyung'a tight embrace, my head leaning against his chest.

"Sorry, her voice is a little raspy at the moment from being sick so she doesn't want to talk. But she's fine though." I mentally thank Taehyung for the save.

I see Jackson stumbling over his own two feet over to me, shouting inaudible things until he got close enough to us.

"Hey Yoons where were you!" I freeze once again as Taehyung lets go of me quickly rushing over to Jackson, clasping his hand over his mouth harshly. Both me and my mother look at them curiously and weirdly as they both turn their backs to us, Tae whispering something into Jackson's ear.

They both whip back around to face us. Jackson's face has a wide grin going ear to ear. A very awkward grin.

"Yoongs- cough yoongs! Sorry I have a really bad cold!" I mentally slap myself as I cringe at Jackson's failed attempt at acting. But thankfully, my mother seems to believe it.

"I wonder why everyone is ill around here." She mumbles to herself. Slowly she looks back down at me, causing me to shoot my head down immediately as she places her hand on my shoulder.

"I hope we can work well together, Suga? I found your name on magazines. I hope you don't mind me calling you that." She explains politely.

I feel myself softening in her warm touch. How much I've been wishing for this kind of touch is unbelievable- even if she doesn't know that I'm actually her son.

What if she finds out? Will she fire me? Wait can she even do that? Or will she be happy- wait of course not! Why would she be happy to see me of all people.

"Okay you two, please get ready and go over to the setting. Don't worry the pictures we take today won't be in magazines or anything, I just want to see what you two can do." It was a rather simple scene- a small fake window with some wooden panels with a random picture on the wall to create a homely feeling. In the middle of it is a chair where I am supposed to sit.

We both nod, soon getting into places as we get swapped around in different positions.

-owo-

Taehyung's POV

Most of the time, Yoongi was told to sit on the chair. It was more of like a family photo, like Husband and Wife. It was quite boring, I hardly moved from my spot as my hand was on the chair where Yoongi sat as I towered over him.

Yoongi didn't seem as tense anymore, he was more relaxed during that shoot which was a relief. Even if this director is Yoongi's shitty ass, abusive mother, we have to impress her or we the company where we send the pictures to will fire us.

"Okay you two did well, don't worry this will not be published." We both nod, stretching our now aching bones. I watch as Yoongi confidentially walks past Ms Chang. I mentally yell 'good job!' in my mind to him before he goes to talk to Jackson.

Smiling to myself, I rush over to BamBam who was trying his hardest not to fall asleep from boredom.

"Hey BamBam. You okay?" He sniffles tiredly as he rubs his eyes, looking at me blankly.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I hope that modelling won't be like this everyday." I mentally agree with him, humming as I place my hands on my hips. Slowly, I start turning my body left and right, trying not to obviously look at Yoongi. "Have you told him how you feel yet?"

Groaning I look back down at the tired boy who is now packing away some extra clothes. "You know why it's complicated." I utter coldly under my breath.

"Yeah well does he at least know why you have two jobs?" I hesitantly shake my head, gripping the plastic water bottle and pulling it towards my mouth.

"Jeez Taehyung, you could at least tell him that much." I nod vigorously, now gulping down the cool water.

"I know I know! There are a lot of things I need to tell him." I scoff as I carry on drinking the water bottle dry.
