The Bet

Chapter Seis

~Now edited~

The world was spinning around Jeongguk as Jin and Jimin swung him around Jin's giant house. His eyes bulge out of their sockets as they run from room to room gathering supplies and wondering what room is the best to perform this glorious transformation.

Jeongguk bits his bottom lip questioning if this actually was a good idea. The two seem a little too eager for his liking and their smiles are slowly turning sinister as if their witches that finally found a position worth creating. He glances over the two, eyes moving back and forth from Jimin to Jin as their tote bags grow large and heavily from the items they're adding inside of them.

Once they finally make it into Jin's makeup room, the two males throw Jeongguk in a tall seat placed in front of a mirror with lights decorating and illuminating a bright light around the edge of the square mirror. Jin and Jimin set down their bags as they stare into the mirror with Jeongguk, analyzing his reflection and wondering what they should work on first.

"I think his hair needs a lot of work, let's start there," Jin suggests as he carefully lifts one of Jeongguk's greasy locks.

Jimin shakes his head as he grabs Jeongguk's thick-rimmed glasses and gently takes them off to set them on the desk in front of him. "No, it's an easier task to do. All we have to do is cut it, wash it, and dye it, it's not that hard. We should start by clearing his skin and working on his clothes dilemma." Jimin leans in closer to Jeongguk's face causing the latter to slightly panic as he gets a closer look at the male. "Hmmm Jeongguk your freckles are really cute, I didn't even notice that you have any. We'll have to get rid of all those red spots, blackheads, acne, pimples, zits... Jesus Jeongguk have you ever heard of skincare? Anyways, we'll have to get rid of those to pop your cute little freckles out. You also have an uneven skin tone that will have to balance out. Your lips are pretty by the way. If we add a nice red gloss they'll look even prettier. Also, your eyes are absolutely stunning. My heart actually skipped a beat for a second," Jimin smiles as he moves away from the male and starts shuffling the things around in his bag to find what he needs.

Jin quirks an eyebrow as he looks at his friend. "If you can clear all that by today then you're a miracle worker Min but you do realize skincare treatments take about one to two weeks to actually start clearing up skin right?"

Jimin nods as he fishes his supplies up. "Yeah duh, it's not my first time trying to clear someone's skin up but I can make it look better or less red right now with this face mask and I have a few creams and washes Jeongguk can borrow until we actually get him a proper treatment he can use," Jimin says with a smile as he rips open the small colorful mask package.

Jeongguk furrows his eyebrows as he stares at the weird-looking green mask Jimin begins to unfold. He's seen his mom and sister use it before and he's seen females with it on in commercials so that prompted him to think that it was only supposed to be a feminine product.

"B-But don't only girls wear that thing?! I'm a man, I'm not supposed to wear that," he wearily says as he pulls his face away from the mask that Jimin is about to lay on his face.

The duo laughs as they shake their heads at the poor male's words. "Baby, this can be used by both genders. Skincare products are all meant to be used by any gender as long as it helps with your skin. In fact, every gender uses every product made by the market. From makeup to nail polish and even wigs-"

"You mean people who like crossdressing, are transgender, are drag queens, likes the feel of makeup-" Jeongguk interrupts Jimin as he lists the people he thinks uses the products.

Jimin rolls his eyes as he slaps the moist mask on Jeongguk's face. The younger jumps from the feeling of not liking how slimy the mask feels on his bare skin. Jin lifts his hair up and clips it back to temporarily remove it from his face as Jimin fixes the mask. "Not just those people wear makeup and stuff Jeongguk. Even straight boys wear some makeup to cover their blemishes for a day or make their lips pop out and seem more attractive. It's kind of like piercings, both males and females (and any other gender) wear piercings all around their body because it makes them look more appealing or attractive. Sometimes they get it just because they like it or see a piercing in a store they particularly like and just wanted to wear it. It's a product that can be used for everyone, you just have to open your eyes and broaden your perspective to see it like that."
