Obsession (vkook)

5

April 19th, Jeongguk comes to Taehyung's apartment for the first time to start helping him become "the best him he could be"—as Jeongguk so kindly put it.

"Being the best you and being perfect are the same thing," Jeongguk says as he looks around the apartment. "Let's start with your hair. It has to go. Nobody likes black hair. I mean, it just doesn't grab people's attention. You can't have brown because it's mine. We don't want you to look ridiculous with some outrageous hair color, so, I've decided that you'll be a blond."

    "Blond?" Taehyung asks, tilting his head in skepticism. "I thought you said nothing outrageous."

    "Please, blond is hardly outrageous. I think you'd look cute with blond hair. No?" The brunette asks, turning to the mirror hanging on the wall. "Come here."

Taehyung stands from where he's sitting in the living room and stands beside Jeongguk, looking into the mirror.

"You've got these boring dark eyes, boring black hair, boring eyebrows~"

"Eyebrows?" Taehyung looks at him through the mirror. "How can eyebrows be boring?"

"I like your face, Tae. But the goal is to get other people to like it. So you need to pluck your eyebrows," The brunette explains. "Then we'll fill them like everyone does."

"Fill them with what?" The older asks looking at himself in the mirror.

Jeongguk laughs at him. "I'll make you a list and you need to get everything on it. I'd go with but I'm afraid Jimin might see us. He's having classes right now."

"He didn't see you come over did he?" Taehyung asks worriedly. "I want to get you in any trouble."

"No, don't worry. I left before him and he thinks I'm having meetings with my professors," Jeongguk says. "I'll text you the list. You should be able to get everything at the campus store and I'll wait here for you."

"Alright. Will you be fine alone?" The older asks as he goes to grab his jacket from the back of the couch.

"Yes, and another thing," Jeongguk says, grabbing the jacket before he could. "No more insecure-jackets or hoodies."

"It's not~"

"By the time we're finished, Tae, you're going to want to show off your body," The younger says. "Until then, get used to not wearing your jacket all the time. It's warm out now, so you don't need it."

"Fine." Taehyung shrugs, he felt a bit awkward without his jacket. "I'll be right back."

"I'll be here." Jeongguk smiles as he leaves.

Taehyung smiles as he walks down the stairs, he didn't know if he could be perfect but he was happy to spend time with Jeongguk anyway.

"Okay so the foundation is to cover up anything and everything undesirable about your skin. Blemishes, scars and stuff like that. Then you have to keep your lips moisturized at all times~"

"Is it supposed to burn?"

"Yes. But as I was saying, your lips are important because they are apart of your face, obviously, and that's where people look the most." Jeongguk continues as he applies the foundation to his face. "Foundation isn't temporary, even if you get laser treatment for acne your skin will never be even. But it's good to make people think you have perfect skin."

"My head really burns," Taehyung says again. "I think I should rinse now, Gguk."

"Fine you big baby." He steps away. "Let's see what we've got."

Jeongguk leans by the sink and helps rinse all the bleach from his hair before wrapping a towel around his head.

Taehyung towels it dry for a moment before removing the towel.

Jeongguk gasps making Taehyung look at him startled.

"What?" He asks. "Is it bad? Did it not do it right?"

"No, it's perfect. Look." Jeongguk says pulling him out to the living to look in the mirror. "Tada! You're a bleached blond."

Taehyung looks in the mirror and he almost doesn't recognize himself. He looks strange with blond hair.

"Now once it's straightened and styled you'll love it more. And so will everyone else. You're already ten times more attractive." The brunette chuckles before walking back into the kitchen. "Come back, Tae. I have to finish showing you how to put on the make up."

Jeongguk spends the next thirty minutes lecturing Taehyung on how to apply his makeup to look the best at all times.

The makeup routine seems like a bit much but Jeongguk assures him that it will be worth it.

"And as far as your body goes, you need to get on a strict diet. I think if you could get down 50kg you'd be able to tone from there and build muscle. But in the right places. You don't want to look ripped or anything, you just want the perfect shape to begin with. So, 50kg. It'll be easy."

"Okay."

As Jeongguk is writing out his diet, his exercise regimen, his face routine, and his hair care routine Taehyung starts to feel happy sitting next to him in his apartment.

He felt honored that someone as beautiful as Jeongguk would take the time out of their life to help him try to achieve perfection in his own.

He was so happy that he was fixable, so thrilled to know that one day people would want to be his friend because he was perfect.

He hoped that this would make, not only everyone else like him more but, make Jeongguk as well.
