Taeyong and the management are the ones to have access on his apartment so it was no surprise to see Taeyong rummaging through his clothes at 3pm. "Why are you here hyung? I don't have any schedule until next week" he whined, rubbing his eyes "Miss Boa will hold a party tonight, I forgot to tell you because I fell asleep after we arrived so get up, we're going to pamper you up, Europe made you a different person" Taeyong patted his head, what he said was true, his hair was a bit longer, he needed a haircut, his silver hair is fading as well, he looked ugly if you ask him.

"What time is the party?" He had to drag his body to take a quick shower and do his skincare, achieving his porcelain glow was a hardwork..

"At nine, it's a club in Itaewon, company artists are coming so you better buy new clothes, we can't let them outshine our international model" Taeyong shouted from his closet, the pressure is on again.

"Will you stop calling me that" he whined, he can't believe he slept for more than ten hours, maybe the sleep medicines do work on jet lags.

After finishing up his shower and skincare, Taeyong laid out his clothes for him, of course he has to dress up because he's a model. His trusted hair salon was in Myeongdong and the owner was glad to see him back after three months. "My favorite boy is back, you grown out your hair too, let me save my pretty boy!" He chuckled, the staff had to hide their laugh, Taeyong was busy looking through different hairstyles. "The perm has to go Jae, you can't look like a poodle right now" Taeyong patted his back.

"You know what, your manager is right, the perm hides your pretty face, time to show them my pretty boy" the owner pinched his cheeks

"Sajangnim, I think I found it, what do you think?" Taeyong showed him something on the iPad and the man looked like he went into trance.

"People will know you as the most handsome boy in Korea, okay okay?" He chuckled.

Jaehyun put on his earphone throughout the hair dyes, hair cut and all treatments, the whole process lasted for around two hours and he was almost asleep while waiting, for sure his hair was cut shorter. He opened his eyes sleepily as the owner was drying his hair. "Any style works on your pretty face, what do I do?" The man cooed and Jaehyun couldn't believe his transformation, his hair was cut shorter and dyed into a color mix of dark blue and black, he can finally see his face clearly without perm covering half of his face.

"Yep, I'm so good at this, I should start a salon business" Taeyong chuckled, he had to post on Instabook:

"Someone said I finally know how to use Instabook" Jaehyun chuckled as they drove to a nearby mall because Taeyong insisted that he's a top-paid model but he uses his paycheck to buy games and that his closet is just filled with plain black shirts and black pants.

"You get a manager and a stylist at the same time, you're one lucky kid" Taeyong parked on the basement and they both went out to visit some clothes store.

"No black-" Taeyong facepalmed when Jaehyun showed him a black hoodie.

"Seriously, just follow me, don't touch anything"

They went around and some people recognized him and asked for pictures but Taeyong was strict on "no-fanservice outside of work" rule so he had to apologize. "You can take fan gifts but no autographs or photos, you're considered a rising star so we have to keep a clean image okay?" Turns out Taeyong was not only buying for tonight's outfit but also to get him to wear other colors instead of plain black shirts. "Ooh, someone gave me cookies" Jaehyun can be a kid at times, not minding his public image, but Taeyong has to admit, Jaehyun's visuals is one of the best he has ever seen so he understands, the boy can just breathe and he will still look good.

"Let's get you dolled up in your apartment" they finally decided to end the shopping at 6pm, they have to get ready before 9pm, they ordered jjampong for dinner.

"You gotta change into your outfit and then we'll head to the salon again to get you styled up then we'll head to the venue, there will be press and business partners so you have to standout.

Jaehyun really didn't mind what other people think about him, he pretty much experienced all the bad mouths back in high school, the only thing that matters is Johnny's opinion about him. The visual counts he can clearly remember. Being rejected because he looked so ugly, it served as an inspiration for him, to be better, to look better, to be the best version of Jeong Jaehyun. "Let's go?" Taeyong patted his shoulder.

"Yes...going to a club in a leather jacket will make me standout..." he looked at himself in the mirror, only Taeyong can think of pairing black leather jacket with white pants...

"Your pants will really standout" he chuckled

"Yes...I guess so"

They went to the salon again to get his make-up and hair styled "What's the occassion sweetheart?" The owner styled his hair as a female staff applied his make-up. "A company party, Yong hyung just want me to stand out a bit and get out of my shell I guess" it hasn't even been two years since he started his modelling career so it was nerve-wracking to try to stand out locally, especially when the industry is filled with so many good-looking people. After his full transformation, they drove to the party "See you inside okay, go get their attention" Taeyong patted his back. eSeeM Entertainment is an empire led by Kwon Boa, people know it as "Good-looking company" since most of their artists are really pretty and handsome, from models to singers and actors, everyone just looks good.

"And we have international model and rising star, Jeong Jaehyun" it was an annual company party and people look forward to everyone's outfits. It wasn't a red carpet so all he had to do was pose a little and walk-through.

Inside the club, a party song was playing and his seniors and juniors are already in party mode, their CEO was on a lounge, probably drinking with business partners. Taeyong found him and handed him a drink "Hey, you can't get too drunk, you're a messy drunkard so we can't do that in front of our business partners" the manager chuckled. He stared at boy groups and girl groups sitting together, of actors talking in one table, he's been working overseas for a while that he hasn't even have any close friend in the company. He knew their names, but that was it, they're not that close to be considered as "friends" at all.

"Hey" a cold hand on his nape startled him.

"Oh...hello Gongmyung sunbaenim"he quickly stood up to bow, the actor was one of eSeeM's pride.

"Why are you here? Mind if I join you?" The actor coolly sat next to him

"Um...I've been working overseas mostly so I don't really have close friends in the company"

"Well, let me be your friend, cheers?" The older chuckled.

Kim Gongmyung is one nice fellow, handsome, witty, charming and talented, if he never met Johnny, he would definitely be his ideal lover. Jaehyun isn't a talker type so the older was the one talking the most, he would chime in from time to time but he loved listening to his stories, they were interrupted when Boa took the stage. "Hello my darlings, I would like to thank everyone of you for representing our company to make it as one of the top three in South Korea, from our local idols, singers, models and actors, to our international representatives, thank you and I hope you all do your best and continue to grow" she made a toast and everyone cheered, Gongmyung teasingly ran his hand on Jaehyun's nape "You okay? You look flushed, you're not a big drinker huh" he chuckled, Jaehyun nodded and sloppily rested his head on the table.

"I just wanna go home and cuddle with Joh-"

"Huh?"

"Ah, nevermind, I'm daydreaming" Jaehyun chuckled and kept squirming on his seat.

"Err, I think I should call your manager, Yongie right?" Gongmyung patted his back

"Eungggg"
