Haunted?

12. Getting ready

Past

"Hyung, what the hell? No! I am not going to put on any make up! Ughhh" Jungkook grimaced at the make up Seokjin held in front of him. 

"Taehyung is going to" Seokjin said. "He is?" Jungkook deflated and asked. "He is. I know you never saw him in make up. He learnt how to use it after coming to Seoul. Believe me, you are gonna regret not applying make up after seeing him" Seokjin said. 

"He did it before too?" Jungkook asked. "Yu-" "For whom?" Jungkook immediately asked. "Relax, Kook. Why are you like this? He did it for his own Freshers' Party" Seokjin said, getting annoyed by Jungkook's possessiveness. 

"Don't make me look like a girl, hyung" Jungkook said strictly. "Of course, I won't" Seokjin said, proceeding to style Jungkook's hair. 

It had been three months since he moved to Seoul and two months since their University started. The Freshers' Party was one of the huge festivals of the University every year. A lot of interesting stuff happened in the festival. 

It was also the University trend for couples to form at the party. Thus, everyone put in their best efforts to look good. Having never even touched any of the cosmetics before, Jungkook felt absolutely revolted by the idea of make up. 

But Seokjin wasn't having it. He had dragged his sorry ass into his own flat so that he could get him ready. Namjoon was in the police station as usual, while Taehyung got ready in his and Jungkook's flat. 

"But I already have a boyfriend. Why do I have to look good for others at the party?" Jungkook tried to argue. "Because he is putting in the effort to look good for you. Trust me, you are really gonna regret it if you don't apply make up. Mainly when you see him" Seokjin said. 

"Fine" Jungkook huffed, still feeling odd about the whole make-up thing. He knew that Seokjin had one hell of a stubborn ass. He also knew that Seokjin was right. 

Taehyung was sitting alone in their flat, putting in all of his efforts to look good in front of Jungkook. He realized that he must do it too. 'Or someone else might take him away from me' was his first thought. 

"Do you want to have a tough look, Kookie?" Seokjin asked half way through. "Yeah" Jungkook said. They spent the next ten minutes adjusting the hairstyle and the eye liner according to the new requirement. 

"Okay, done" Seokjin finally said. "Ughh, finally! Can I look at myself?" Jungkook asked. "Yeah" Seokjin said. Jungkook got up and turned back to face the mirror, only to have his mouth drop open. 

He turned to face Seokjin with his jaw hanging low. Seokjin tried to control his laugh at Jungkook's expression, but gave in after a lot of difficulty. "I told you you are gonna look good" he said. "Yeahhh" Jungkook said, raking his eyes over the figure in the mirror. 

He never thought he could look soo good. "Wow! Thank you, hyung" he turned back with a huge grin. "You're welcome. One last thing!" Seokjin said. "What is it?" Jungkook asked. 

"Don't grin like that if you want to maintain your tough look. Act tough" Seokjin said. "Not with Tae! Act tough with others" he immediately mended before Jungkook took his words to heart. 

"Okay. Thanks again, hyung" he said, picking up his phone and wallet before walking out of the flat. 

"Oh my god" he breathed out and immediately held the doorframe to keep his knees from buckling at the sight of the man in front of him. 

Before he could actually step out, he noticed Taehyung leaning casually leaning on the door of their flat, looking drop dead handsome. 

"Wh-What..." Jungkook's voice suddenly became extremely hoarse. He cleared his throat and tried again, making Seokjin and Taehyung chuckle. "Wh-What's with the hair?" he asked, taking in the bright blue blow dried hair that sat proudly on his boyfriend's head. 

"Is it nice?" Taehyung asked, running a hand through his hair. Jungkook gasped again. "Oh my god.....don't do that" he asked, feeling heat settle in his stomach. 

"Do what?" Taehyung smirked, knowing the effect it was having on the younger. "This one?" he asked, running his hand through his hair again. Jungkook gulped heavily, still trying hard (and failing miserably) not to eye-fuck Taehyung. 

"You are right. I would have looked like a potato if I had not use make up" he said, turning to face Seokjin. Seokjin and Taehyung snorted. "Remember to act tough. Not like a lovesick ass" he said, pushing the two out. 

Jungkook cleared his throat again. "You look great" he said. "You too" Taehyung said, getting his bike keys out. "Do you wanna drive?" he asked. "Yeah" Jungkook said, taking the keys from him and throwing his leg around the bike. 

"Hop on" he said as he started it. Taehyung hopped on and held the back of the seat, trying to look as suave as possible. 

Jungkook drove fast, letting the wind ruin their hair. "Oh god" they heard people whisper, exclaim and yell as Jungkook parked the bike and the two of them got down. 

Taehyung was already popular in the University for his looks. And Jungkook became popular for both - his looks and for being Taehyung's live-in boyfriend. 

The two of them ran a hand through their hair to set it and leaned forward to peck each other's lips before turning to walk into the area, making every single head turn towards them. 

"I am enjoying this attention a bit too much" Jungkook suddenly said with a smirk. Taehyung chuckled and smacked his shoulder. 

"You are supposed to enjoy only my attention. Don't let me catch you enjoying others' attention if you don't want your eyeballs plucked out" Taehyung whispered into his ears. 

Jungkook shivered, but turned to his side and bit Taehyung's ear. "Of course. Don't let me catch you enjoying it too. I dunno what I am gonna do if I see someone lay their hands on you" he said. 

"Oh my god, what happened to my innocent Kookie? You are still a minor, for god's sake!" Taehyung suddenly exclaimed. 

"Shut up. Just because I am a minor, you can't expect me not to be possessive of my hot, sexy, drop dead handsome boyfriend" Jungkook smirked. 

"Oh my god, shut up. Don't make me blush in front of everyone" Taehyung said, smacking Jungkook's shoulder again. "Stop smacking me then" Jungkook said, flicking Taehyung's forehead. 

"You are really asking to be punished, aren't you?" Taehyung asked. Jungkook's eyes widened comically. "Shut up. Don't make me blush in front of everyone. Aren't you supposed to be sitting with the seniors?" he asked. 

Taehyung chuckled and settled back. "I don't wanna. Not when my boyfriend is being a snack. I don't want anyone to come and talk to you" he said coolly. 

"Good. Me neither" Jungkook said. He settled back on his chair and crossed his legs, throwing all of his 'tough-act' out of the window by grinning widely the whole time.
