Famous YouTuber Kim Taehyung decides to finally do the Cheating Prank on his shy boyfriend, Jeon Jeongguk.

so—
"Hello everyone, and welcome back to my channel!"
Taehyung waves cheerfully at the camera, adjusts the lighting and then beams brightly. "If you're new here, I'm V," he sticks his index and middle finger up to his eye in the shape of the letter for his signature pose, "and today I'll be doing the ridiculously highly requested cheating prank on my boyfriend, Jeongguk!"
He lifts the camera and begins moving toward the television in the corner of the room while continuing, visibly shaking in excitement. "It's no secret that Jeongguk hates pranks—he'll probably start screaming at the end when I say that it's a prank and I'm so scared—I'm really nervous."
Taehyung eyes the expanse of their living area and purses his lips thoughtfully, considering where is most ideal to hide the camera. He shifts the device and holds it a bit higher than his face as he says, "I'm almost one-hundred percent sure that he won't suspect that it's a prank, because I don't prank him—but I've been planning for this prank and recently, I've been going out a lot with my close friend, Bogumie-hyung. I've been trying to act kind of distant from Jeongguk—so I have no idea how this prank will turn out."
Taehyung's excitement is slowly fading into fear and he licks his lips nervously. He doesn't want to do this prank. Jeongguk hates cameras—hates anything to do with attention on him, and even though he fully supports Taehyung's YouTube career, he tries to stay off of the screen.
Taehyung begged for weeks for Jeongguk to do the Boyfriend Tag at least, but Jeongguk refused every single time; he always mumbles something about "I'm not as pretty as you, hyung, they won't like me".
Jeongguk is just painfully shy though, and even Taehyung can't force him to smile for the camera—despite how absolutely adorable Jeongguk's bashfulness is, or how horribly frustrating it is receiving thousands of comments of requests to see the famous boyfriend Jeongguk.
"Jeongguk is at work right now," he says, shoving away his instinct that's screaming that this is an awful idea, and he smiles at the blinking red light. "He texted me about twenty minutes ago and said that he'll be home soon, so—"
Taehyung hears the faint sound of an engine dying, and then a car door closing. He fumbles with the camera in panic and then runs toward the television. "He's home," he whispers hurriedly, shoving the camera under the elaborate decorative sheets around the appliance. His unique interior design is finally coming in use. He places the vases of roses in front of it as carefully as he can in his haste, making sure it was perfectly concealed.
Taehyung jumps slightly at the sound of the front door closing that echoes throughout the house. He glances around the room at the two other cameras—one at the top of the fridge from the kitchen that's hidden behind loads of containers as a second view, and the other at the top of the door to provide an overview of the entire living room.
"Hyung?" he hears Jeongguk call out, "I'm home!"
"In the living room!" he yells, shoving away all traces of hesitation. Taehyung practically flings himself onto the couch and grabs at his phone to look occupied by the time Jeongguk strolls into the space.
Taehyung almost forgets that he's supposed to be acting distant from Jeongguk at the sight of his beautiful boyfriend. Jeongguk is stunning, even more so in his professional white shirt and crisp dress pants. His shoes shine, but not as bright as his large doe-like eyes. Taehyung gulps, then looks back at his phone. As bluntly as he can, he says, "hey."
