If there was something that Taehyung was well-known for having, it was a sense of style and fashion. He liked dressing up, trying out different types of clothing and makeup. He wasn't so good at applying the latter, but a few of his members were good at doing makeup so he usually used their help. People might make fun of his hobby, but the last time he checked, hobbies are for your own happiness. Taehyung found happiness by dressing up, so it was valid.

So when the opportunity opened up for him to design the costumes and album art for their new album, he jumped for it. Jimin and him decided to team up for it. The others would work on the music and concept but they got most of the artistic side to themselves. It was also an excuse to spend more time with Jimin. The mochi had been drifting apart from Taehyung these days, well, actually everyone was drifting away from everybody. Their intense schedules wreaked havoc on them and having the energy to socialize after that was rare.

Taehyung missed Jimin. He would always call himself as Jimin's best friend and spending time with the mochi was one of his other favourite hobbies. Designing the album was going to be exciting and a scope to take a fresh breath and try something new. The second maknae was thankful that he would get to do this with Jimin.

Jimin had asked Taehyung if they could meet up in the dance studio after vocal practice, which ended at noon. The second maknae had agreed. The other members had left. The past two weeks had been exhausting and all of them were eager to use this free time to rest. But in Taehyung's mind, looking at the ideas that Jimin came up with was more important.

So that's where they started their meeting, dressed in their sweaty practice clothes as they sat on the cold floor of the dance studio. Jimin came bouncing from the recording studio with a big backpack filled with his notes and drawings. Taehyung felt inadequately prepared compared to him; all he had was a mechanical pencil with no lead and one blank sheet of paper. He felt a little awkward but then Jimin flashed him a smile and the nervousness faded away a bit.

"I thought that maybe this can work..." Jimin set his backpack in the corner and took out a big binder and a pencil case.

"What?" Taehyung grinned at the mochi as he sat down next to him on the floor.

Jimin giggled. He cleared his throat. "I think that we should go to the dressing room and check out some costumes. I think this binder has all the notes I made in the middle of the night. I think this era should have some more... I can't think of the right word... but regal outfits? Yes, and we need more eye makeup!"

The second maknae chuckled. Jimin loved the whole concept of eye makeup. He looked over at the paper that the mochi had placed in front of him.

"Do you think we should maybe... uh... check out some costumes in the dressing rooms?" he asked.

Jimin's eyes lit up. "Yes!"

"Or do you think we should design some ourselves? It's your choice."

"I think we should check some things out first. Then we can figure out what we need to work on," Jimin said. He looked fondly up into Taehyung's eyes. "This is already so much fun."

"You are so funny Chim."

The mochi stood up, grabbing his binder, pencil case and backpack from the floor. He turned to face Taehyung with a small pout on his face. "I know."

Again the awkwardness felt strong, but Taehyung managed to gently slap Jimin's back. He felt strange doing it now. He used to do it all the time a few years ago but now, as he had thought earlier, things had changed. Taehyung wasn't as goofy as he used to be now.
