Photo Shoot ; VKOOK

Twenty five

"Wake up~" Taehyung sang as he poked Jungkook's cheek. Jungkook stirred a bit, but didn't open his eyes.

"Please, Kookie," Taehyung pleaded. "I really need you to wake up."

Jungkook opened one eye, but closed it as fast as it had opened.

"What do you want me to do?" Taehyung asked.

"Cuddle," Jungkook mumbled.

Taehyung went along with Jungkook's wish by wrapping his arms around his waist and putting his chin on Jungkook's shoulder.

"You're bad at cuddling!" Jungkook laughed at Taehyung. "That's a hug, Tae. It doesn't count as cuddling."

"I'm sorry, Kookie. But we don't have time to cuddle right now. We need to get going, and finish this shoot, so you can go home and sleep." Taehyung said.

They had taken only a few pictures before Jungkook began whining again. Taehyung had asked Namjoon if they could change the concept now, so Jungkook would stop whining. Namjoon had agreed with the idea and they were now taking pictures where it was a good thing that Jungkook was tired.

Namjoon shouted things at Taehyung and Jungkook and they did what they were told, hoping for the best results.

"Can you ruffle his hair, Taehyung?"

"Put your backs against each others."

"Move your head a bit back, Jungkook"

"Wrap your arms together."

"Taehyung lean a little forward please."

"Too much! A bit back please."

"Put your head back, Taehyung."

"Close your eyes, Taehyung, like how Jungkook does it."

"Move your head to the other side, Jungkook."

"Please move your head a bit, Jungkook."

"Jungkook. Move your head."

"Jungkook!"

"I think he's sleeping, Hyung," Taehyung said, looking up at Namjoon.

"But he just slept!" Namjoon said.

"I know. But that doesn't change the fact that he's sleeping again," Taehyung huffed. "Honestly, Namjoon, what did you expect? It wouldn't matter who you had picked as the winner, every single person would have become tired. This is a long shoot. A really long one. It has been going on for hours. Jungkook isn't ready for shoots of this length. I don't even like the length of this shoot, and I do a lot of long shoots. Don't be so hard on him, Namjoon. He is trying his best. Can't we just finish the shoot now, so Jungkook can get home and rest?"

"We can finish it now. Just a few more pictures, but we can let Jungkook sleep in them." Namjoon said.

"I can't believe i fell asleep during the photo shoot." Jungkook said, digging his face into the couch. "That's so embarrassing."

"Don't be embarrassed, Kookie," Taehyung said, pulling Jungkook into a sitting position, so he could give him a cup of tea. "I didn't know what flavour you liked, so I made you the same as me."

"Thank you," Jungkook said, taking a sip from the tea. "It's tastes amazing."

"Why didn't you tell me that you were the winner of the competition?"

"Namjoon and Seokjin told me that I wasn't allowed to tell you. They wanted to keep it a secret."

"I just don't get how."

"How what?"

"How it's possible. I didn't pick your entry. I didn't think you were a part of the competition. I don't understand why Namjoon and Seokjin picked you."

"It seems a bit weird. But I can't help you. I don't know why they picked me. They could have picked so many others. People who are better and prettier than me. People who aren't like me. Who aren't fags, idiots, self-harmers. People who are worth something. But they picked me. A worthless piece of shit."

Jungkook put down his cup, tears rolling down his cheeks.

"Why are you crying, Kookie?" Taehyung asked, although he knew why.

"Nobody likes me."

"I like you."

"No you don't. How could anyone like me?"

"Because you're perfect."

"I'm not perfect."

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not perfect, Tae. Just look at the comments. They don't like me. I'm not perfect.

"You want to hear a secret?"

Jungkook nodded. Taehyung leaned in and whispered into his ear.

"Maybe the world simply isn't ready for such perfection, yet."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Jungkook sniffled.

"Maybe you are just too perfect for this world. Maybe that's why people are hating on you. Because you are so perfect that it makes them insecure."

Hey baby," Namjoon said as he entered Seokjin's room.

"Hey," Seokjin replied. He was laying on a light pink daybed in the middle of his room.

Seokjin's room was almost empty. There wasn't really anything in it except for the day bed. But Seokjin liked it that way. He found peace in the simplicity of the room.

"What are you doing?" Namjoon asked.

"Texting."

"Who?"

"Calm down, Joonie. It's Taehyung. I'm not cheating on you."

"I never thought you would."

"Liar."

Namjoon huffed as he lie down next to his boyfriend. He loved Seokjin, he really did. They were perfect for each other, and although not that many people knew about their relationship, they were both content with it.

"Jungkook is crying," Seokjin said frowning a bit.

"What made him sad?"

"Tae says, that Jungkook began talking about how stupid he was and that there was no reason why we choose him as the winner. That we had made a mistake, and that we are regretting choosing him."

"He was the perfect fit. Everything that Taehyung has asked for. Other than being a girl, but everybody knows that he doesn't need a girl. He needs a man."

"I know. But that doesn't change the fact that he's crying. Taehyung has already tried comforting him, but it hasn't helped. He's asking, if we want to come up there and eat dinner with them. Would that be okay?"

"Anything for you, Baby," Namjoon said.
