In which Taehyung and Jungkook learn that they will have to act as a couple. Jungkoook wants to know who 'Hoseok' is.

~•~

Jungkook nodded at the director as he spoke with him quietly about the matters of his contract. He was trying to listen, he really was. But he couldn't help but be intrigued by Taehyung's conversation with Namjoon.

"Jeju? I didn't know we would be filming there. Is Hyung coming?" Taehyung asked with a level of excitement Jungkook's never witnessed.

Up until a few minutes ago Jungkook was convinced that the older male couldn't smile.

"It's only for a few days I think. Most of the scenes are supposed to be shot in Seoul and Busan, but there are a few to do in Jeju. Yes, Hoseok is coming. But he's only escorting us from the airport." Namjoon said.

Jungkook watched out of the corner of his eye how Taehyung's smile faltered then gradually fell to a frown.

"He's not gonna stay?" Taehyung asked, obviously disappointed that this Hoseok guy wouldn't be there for the entire trip.

"I'm afraid so. Jungkook's bodyguard will be there and we don't need two. They'll draw too much unnecessary attention." Namjoon said with a sympathetic pat on Taehyung's shoulder.

"It's better for you two anyway. I still think it's too early for you guys to go back to how things were." He added with a concerned big brother look Jungkook knew all too well. It's the same look Yoongi-Hyung has given him from time to time.

"I don't want to talk about this Hyung. I already told you, I'm over it." Taehyung said with an edgy voice.

Surely Jungkook has heard what the older male sounded like mad, but this was different.Taehyung sounded tense, and Jungkook didn't like it.

"Are you sure Tae? It's okay if you're not. I know how much you cared-" Namjoon started to console Taehyung, but he was quickly interrupted.

"I'm fine Hyung! Just leave it alone.." Taehyung said in a strangled voice with eyes on the verge of tears.

Namjoon got the message right away and instantly backed off, but the damage was already done.

Jungkook made a mental note not to mention or ask about what happened with this Hoseok dude. He was an asshole, yes. But not so much so that he would press the issue at hand knowing it would hurt Taehyung. Whatever went down clearly upset him. For some reason, seeing the older like that bothered Jungkook, and he quickly called Taehyung over to distract him.

"Taehyung-Hyung! Director-nim is saying something important." Jungkook shouted over his shoulder after excusing himself.

He actually had no clue wether the director had something to say or not-as he wasn't listening-but he just needed to take Taehyung's mind off of whatever that was.

"Oh okay.." Taehyung looked up and quickly wiped his eyes with the back of his hand before making his way over.

"Good, you're both here. I wanted to let you know that we've decided to go in a bit of a different direction with the script. Instead of you two being ex-partners assigned to kill each other, you'll be ex-lovers assigned to work on a case together! Of course, the case will involve you being undercover. The big kick is that your characters will have to pretend to be married. Isn't that hilarious?! Ex-lovers have to be pretend husbands?!" The director said with a loud cackle. He was clearly finding his reworking of the script to be hilarious.

Meanwhile, the two co-stars were shocked beyond belief.

"What!?" Jungkook said with a gaping jaw.

Taehyung smacked his arm, for his lack of manners, but the younger couldn't help it. He was floored.

"Huh? Excuse me, but isn't this supposed to be an action drama Director-nim?" Taehyung asked, careful not to sound upset or ungrateful.

"Ah, yes. It is very much action, but the producers suggested we add some romance for our female viewers. Nothing like a little love to spice up a drama, don't you think?" The director looked at Taehyung with a bright hopeful smile that he couldn't ignore.

"I suppose..." Taehyung said while tugging a dumbfounded Jungkook behind him.

"Great! It's good to hear that you're on board. So many people feel uncomfortable about the male and male relationships, but I think Korea is changing. It would be a game changer to say that were one of the first production companies to be so accepting! Oh! And also, here are your scripts. Make sure you go over them. We have a few more weeks until we start shooting in Seoul, but in the meantime we will do some takes in Jeju and maybe a few press conferences. My assistant will forward the details to your managers."

The boys nodded.

"Oh, excuse me. I have to take this call. Hello? Yes..."

The director said everything in such a rush and ran off to talk before Taehyung could get a word out. All he did was stare helplessly at the scripts in his hand and sigh.

"Yah, Jungkook? Are you broken? You haven't said a word. Not that i'm complaining. It's kinda nice to have some quiet.." Taehyung asked with a hard poke at the younger males hardened abs.

Jungkook flinched in surprised and just looked at Taehyung in bewilderment.

"Yah... Stop looking like that. It's scaring me. Is it really gonna be that bad if we have to kiss? It's only gonna be like a second anyway.." Taehyung said with a grumble, figuring that Jungkook was disgusted to have to kiss him since he was straight.

"No, it's not that. It's just that I didn't think we'd be in one of these. How will the public react? I never came out or anything so like will it be weird? Oh god. I can't ask my brother to watch this now.." Jungkook started rambling, his face full of sheer panic and that's when it hit Taehyung....

1) Jungkook is gay

2) Jungkook's first film is a gay one

3) Jungkook hadsn't come out to his family

"Oh, cmon. It won't be that bad. Just let them watch the parts without those scenes? Though, I think it would be best to come out to your family before they start releasing trailers for it. Besides, I'm sure half of the fans will think it's cute and end up shipping us." Taehyung smirked and playfully nudged Jungkook's arm.

He caused the younger to laugh slightly before catching himself.

"What am I telling you for? It's not like you care. And I highly doubt they'll ship us. You are so not my type." Jungkook stuck his tongue out and pushed Taehyung before darting off to the safety of his Hyung.

Taehyung couldn't help but laugh at the childish young man.

"I can't believe i'm stuck with this kid for the next few months.." Taehyung said to himself before realizing one other thing.

4) Jungkook didn't seem upset about having to kiss him
