the last few minutes before the show starts are always the most stressful, this is just one of the things that taehyung has observed from being involved in the industry for so long. "taehyung your eye-shadow is starting to fade," a girl walks towards him with a large pallet in her hands and a small make up brush. 

"sorry rachel," he pouts slightly closing his eyes as he turns to face her so she can reapply it properly. the girl, rachel, laughs as she tucks a piece of blonde hair behind her ear, "you really don't have to be sorry."

taehyung nods showing her a huge smile as she finishes reapplying the make up. his smile quickly fades when she turns away and he feels  a sudden sense of coldness and frowns at the goosebumps on his exposed arms. "tae," another model waves her hand in front of his face, "the shows starting soon." 

she's right. the light shinning through the curtain by the stage and the music starting to play just a little bit to loudly means that hundreds of people are starting to enter the venue. hundreds of people who are going to judge taehyungs every movement and every aspect of his appearance. that thought scares him before every single fashion show but he does what he has been told to do and puts on an extremely cold persona instead of showing how scared he is for the sake of the show. 

"thank you all so much for coming tonight," a loud voice echos from the other side of the curtain followed by claps and cheers. taehyung sighs softly leaning against of the walls while he scratches the new itchy feeling forming on his hand. 

"taehyung you're on soon, get to where you're supposed to be." one the assistants say as he rushes taehyung to the line of models standing by the curtain all waiting for they five seconds of fame and for their pictures to be taken from all directions. there's only two two rules while being on the runaway, the first is to keep a serious and focused expression no matter what and the second one is to never directly look at someone in the audience which is usually fairly easy since its difficult to see the people watching when there is a bright light shinning directly on you.

two or so minutes pass before taehyung is told to step onto the runaway. the bright lights hurt his eyes but he keeps walking, one foot after the other. as he gets to the edge of the runaway he turns his head slightly to one side, puts his hands in the pockets of his pants and leans back slightly just like he was told to do but that's when he sees him.

he has never seen anything like him. he just sits there glaring at the models walking up and down the runway and taehyung can feel the male glaring at him as he walks down the runway again. the show goes on but the picture of that boy is still engraved in his mind and every time taehyung walks onto the runway he sneaks a quick look at the boy making eye contact with him almost every time.

he's the only one watching the show with a bored expression and not taking pictures or videos. "i hope you all had a great time tonight,' the voice echos through the curtain a few hours later. taehyung takes that as a sign the show is ending and joins the other models as they change back into they causal clothes. 

"we still on for tonight right guys?" another male model named jimin asks. taehyung nods with a smile, "yeah! my place tonight, you can bring a plus one." he replies ruffling jimins hair, "i'll be back," taehyung mumbles before quickly walking away.

it takes a while be he finally finds a staff member who isn't doing anything, "excuse me," he starts, "could you please do me a favour?"

the staff member chuckles, "you're the most well mannered person in this whole place, but sure what did you need?" taehyung takes a folded piece of paper out his pocket, "you know that guy sitting in the front row on the right, with the black hair and really sharp jawline? could you give this to him please?"

"sure."
