Fate

Chapter 112

Mina's POV
"Tell me why I'm the one doing this and not your hairstylist?" I mixed the salon grade products in the bowl.

"You have experience with that and you're basically a chemist." He looked at me through the mirror. "Let's just say it was not approved by staff."

I raised a brow. "Making me an accomplice? Clever. You do realize I need to bleach from level 1 to level 10. All of that before 2pm. It's insanity." I divided his hair in segments. "I'm a biochemist junior, if you want to use that as an argument. That's why we're up so early." I applied everywhere, but the roots. "You know that if it doesn't lift right, you can't leave with a half done head to MAMA tonight. Right?"

He laughed. "Don't worry, it's gonna be fine. I trust you." He checked his phone. "We're not going there until 4pm. Why should we be done by 2pm? We get ready there."

I gave him a mischievous grin. "You do."

"Hwasa is not performing today, Mamamoo either."

Little did he know. "I have a little plus tonight."

"PNation?"

"Let it be a surprise for once." I finished folding the last foil. "We wait 30 minutes. I'll probably have to do this three times not to fry your hair." I kissed his cheek from behind. You can move around, just don't lean your head against anything."

"Thanks! Do you know if Meg is coming?"

I shrugged. "She is, but I don't know if she's gonna stay backstage or in the public or what not. She said I'd see." I had to tease her. "I think she's having the best time living with Jungkook for the three weeks she's here."

Namjoon's POV
She did a fabulous job. "Are you sure you're not a closeted hairstylist?"

She chuckled. "No, a friend of my mom answered me while I was doing this. She's the real thing." She admired her work. "I toned it, but will you add a colour?"

It was blond, almost platinum. "I think my hair went through enough today and it looks great! Maybe tomorrow before the second show?"
She glared at me. "What?"

"I do have work to do, Mister. It's our KBS practice with the girls. We're doing a whole thing so.. you know."

Really? Wow. "The Miss is busy! I can do that part myself. Trust me." I thought about her e-mails. "What's the project you'll be working on back home?"

She fluffed my hair. "You're so nosy!" She folded the freshly cleaned towels she had used earlier. "Even if I wanted to, I can't. I signed an NDA."

Non disclosure agreement? "Are you working for the secret services or something?"

"I wish! It's art oriented. That's it."

"A vernissage of your work?" It'd be well deserved.

"That, I wish too. But, no. I'm not gonna tell, Namjoon!"

I hugged her tight. "Pleaaaase?"

She pressed the towels in my face. "Don't use your charms with me. I have somewhere to be soon."

I took them off my face and kissed her before letting go. "Fine, your things will be in our section. I'll see you later."

She reciprocated. "See you, handsome."

Mina's POV
I did have a thing for his blond hair. It was hard to keep the surprise. "Eonni. We're performing this and the MV is not out yet. How is that gonna work out?"

She smiled. "Girl, you have no idea." She said prepping her mic for stage practice. "It's getting released in 30 minutes."

I gasped. "No way! That's so cool.."

She pushed me to the stage. "Let's go! We have to practice that dope exit for you gals!"

Before I went to BTS for our practice, Moonbyul stopped me. "Last thing."

I smiled. "If it's to say hi to your fiance, I was planning on it."

She found it sweet. "I appreciate it.. I wanted to talk about the costumes for KBS's show."

I frowned. "They're totally fine. Why?"

"Even the cover one? You're not the skin showing type. I asked and you can put a long sleeve crop top under." I was grateful for her thoughtfulness.

"I can survive showing skin for a dance. We all have the same costume. Wouldn't be fair of me to stand out with a modified one. I just need to find something to cover my tattoos that won't rub off." We had on a long sleeve beforehand.

She frowned. "Hell no! It fits the song. If they get mad, it'll be at me. Your tattoos are cute. They're not saying anything bad.. Unless people assume you're a witch, but I doubt it!"

It made me laugh. "Alright, thanks for checking with me. I'll see you later okay?"

"Good luck on the carpet!"

Oh sh*t. I was walking it with him. They went in as soloists tonight.

"You look like you saw a ghost. You're okay Mimi?"

I closed the door. "I'm fine, Tae oppa. Thanks.." Don't lie. I looked around. My boyfriend was still dressing up for practice. "Actually.. Can you give me a lesson 101 on how the red carpet works?"

He pat the couch, boxy smile on. "Professor Taehyungie at your service!"

Namjoon's POV
We were together in the van. "I love what you did to your hair."

"Thank you." She seemed so nervous. "Solar eonni proposed it to me." Her soft wavy hair styled with two pieces loosely braided on each side, attached behind. It was polished and framed her face nicely with her curtain bangs.

"She has good taste." I held her hand. "We can do this another time."

"I want to do this with you." She denied. "I'll be fine out there. I'm letting the jitters out here.."

I looked at her. "I can keep your hand in mine as long as you want." I had to say we did plan that PR stunt ages ago.

We were matching. Well, the colour at least!

The car stopped. A last check-up. "I'm fine! Get out like we said we would." I forgot how bright the flashes were.
