Hoseok had always worked for his fathers company. Ever since he could remember, it was all his father had wanted of him. A hard-working, brilliant son with experience in the manufacturing industry. Hoseok found all things containing the word "industry" boring and tedious. He would often find himself dreaming. Stuck in a trance, so to speak, about other things he could be doing. He had often dreamed of traveling the world. This was one of the most reoccurring dreams. Another was of love. Hoseok had found out years ago that he was bisexual. He had never told anyone. The manufacturing industry was a very popular one, but his father owned probably the most renown company, therefore privacy was something Hoseok valued more than anything. He wanted to keep the fact to himself. He had decided to keep it a secret until he could get old enough to leave the family business. He told himself this fact over and over again, repeatedly trying to convince himself that one day he could leave.
Hoseok was also a rarity because he was one of the few in his generation whom still believed in true love. That at first glance, he could distinguish the person who ought to own his future, know his past, and be with him in the present. His father had made it very clear that Hoseok was to marry a woman who works with another company. He was to marry for money. He, of course, had never complied, internally that is, but he had given his word because he wanted not to get on his father's bad side. Anyone on his fathers bad side never came out the same and Hoseok didn't want o be destined with that treacherous fate.

Taehyung, on the other hand, grew up by himself mostly. He was an only child and both his parents worked hard for little money. He sometimes would be alone for weeks on end. Whenever this would happen, he would simply take walks out in the city nearby his apartment. This was when he was in middle school. He always enjoyed the sights and sounds of the packed urban area. His favorite thing was to take his camera, which his father had spent many painstaking hours of work to get for him, into the city with him. He took shots of store fronts, of people passing by, of buildings reaching up higher than the clouds. He clung to his camera as if his life depended on it.
When Taehyung was 16, he decided to move to another city in his own. His parents, though they were sad to see him leave, agreed that it would be what was best. He immediately got a job at a fast food restaurant as a cashier. It wasn't the most glamorous job, but it paid enough that he could keep him small apartment. Taehyung came in early every night to work and left late, working hard each day. His manager enjoyed having him as a worker and constantly gave him raises. Taehyung worked extremely hard at everything he did. He didn't care about how small a task it was, he dared not do it half-assed.
