the last two weeks came and went so fast, nothing but rehearsals and lessons to fill the days and letting loose at bars filling the nights. night one of the tour in seoul was in two days. those 48 hours were going by way too slow for the rockstars liking, and he sat on the couch in his home groaning dramatically.
"what time is it?" taehyung asked for the hundredth time, leaning his head back against the couch made more for decoration rather than comfortableness.
his friend was pouring them drinks at 7 pm, the pair was still waiting for the rest of the guests. it was the pre-tour party, a celebratory night before first show kicked off. they did it every time, popped the champagne and ate fancy finger food made by someone who was paid to do so. "it's still 7:03." the male said, walking over with two glasses of champagne.
it was a pre-pre-tour drink, and his friend sat down on the couch beside him, holding out the glass to the rockstar. "thanks jin." taehyung said once taking the drink and already downing most of it in one go.
"slow down tae." jin said, laughing lightly anyways and taking a sip of his own drink.
taehyung finished his, getting up to fill his glass again. it didn't hurt to put a little sparkle in his system before the night really began. people were suppose to start showing up around 8, that gave him less than an hour to change into something other than his silk robe. it was just his team showing up, not too many people and only the ones about to go on this journey with him.
"i should get ready." taehyung whispered softly, staring down like he was talking to the pixies swimming around. his friend said something, but he barely listened to that. instead, the rockstar left to his room, bringing the rest of the bottle along with him.
he drank while he changed — black skinny jeans and a black button down shirt tucked in. it looked simple and plain, but when he slipped on the kimono, a dark blood red color with black beads and sequins over it in a pattern, it reached down to his ankles and pulled everything together. he stood in the mirror and fixed his hair, pushing his bangs around that were starting to grow out. maybe jungkook could help him cut and style them one day.
jungkook. the rockstar was staring at himself in the mirror, sipping the champagne and wondering what the stylist would think of his outfit tonight, if he looked stunning.
there was a knock on the apartment door, a smile tugging on plump pink lips when wondering who could be there. taehyung exited his bedroom, walking down the hallway and seeing how his friend had already gotten up from the couch to answer the door.
