" What are you waiting for ?" Taehyung asks.
" Do you know what the pictures are for ?"
" No, and I don't need to know. You just have to take beautiful pictures of me so I can get my revenge right? Come on hurry up,"
The story of an arrogant model (...
Taehyung buttons his shirt and heads towards the entrance without looking at Jungkook, who is sitting on the edge of the bed, half naked.
"Wait, " Jungkooks speaks.
Taehyung sighs and turns around, annoyed. His head still hurts and if he stays too long here, he will probably faint again.
"You forgot this, " Jungkook says as he holds up Taehyung's necklace.
As a reflex, Taehyung touches his neck and it is indeed empty. He walks towards the younger and tries to take back the necklace, but Jungkook just holds it higher. Irritated, Taehyung glares at him. He is surprised to see a smirk on the younger's lips.
"Stop playing, give it back, " Taehyung demands.
"Sure, " Jungkook says and brings it back lower to hand it to Taehyung. However, when the elder is about to take it, Jungkook grabs his arm and pulls him closer. He turns him around and presses him against the bed so now he is standing above him. Taehyung tries to stand up but he is held back by Jungkook's strong arms. He feels anger rising inside him.
"What do you want now? Wasn't it enough? "
Jungkook furrows his brows. His grip on Taehyung's shoulder gets tighter and it starts to hurt the elder.
"Let me go, " Taehyung manages to say.
Jungkook simply keeps staring at him despitefully. It is as if Taehyung is being judged by the photographer and he hates it. He feels weak under his control and he hates this as well. But, if he wants to escape this place, he has to give in.
"Please, let me go, " he says, trying not to sound too fake.
All of sudden, Jungkook releases his grip on the elder. Without wasting a minute the elder stands up and tries runs away when suddenly Jungkook pins him to the nearest wall.
"Just keep this in your mind. I won't come back working with you until you fix this attitude of yours, "
Taehyung gulps down. His whole body is tense and feels like he is in an hot bath tub. Jungkook moves away from him and lets him go. He even pushes him out of the room and slams the door on him. Taehyung has mixed feelings. He feels angry and surprised. Then, he searches for his phone in his pants' pocket but can't find. He realizes that it may be inside Jungkook's place. As he is about to knock on the door, the door opens itself from the other side, revealing Jungkook. The younger hands him his phone and closes back the door. He checks the time on his phone and it is 2:15 AM. He sighs in annoyance. He quickly calls a taxi to head back home.
The next morning, Taehyung wakes up with a painful headache and the urge to throw up. After spending an hour in the bathroom throwing up and cleaning himself. He changes himself into a striped black and white shirt and black pants. Suddenly, he remembers that his necklace is still with Jungkook.
"Well shit, " he says to himself before leaving his apartment.
He is now at his modelling company, sitting in Hoseok's office. This company is actually an investment of his father, he founded this company with his mother age ago when his mother was a model. When she left, his father chose Hoseok's father to become the director of it.
The glass door opens slowly and Hoseok steps inside the office. In one hand, he has a coffee cup and the other one is holding two fashion magazines, Taehyung can recognize them by their unique colors.
"Good morning Taehyung, thanks for coming, " Hoseoks sits behind the desk and hands Taehyung the coffee.
Taehyung looks at him confused.
"You look pretty terrible right now, you need this, "
He thanks him and takes a sip of the hot coffee. The liquid goes inside his aching body and he feels a bit more awake.
"So? " Hoseok asks.
Taehyung raises an eyebrow, not understanding his question.
"Taehyung-ah did you apologize to Jungkook-sshi? "
The younger keeps the drink in his mouth for a while, remembering all the events that happened earlier today, then he gulps down. He simply shakes his head. He can hear Hoseok sighs and he sees him leaning back on his desk chair. He feels sorry towards the elder but decides to keep quiet.
Hoseok stands up and opens the yellow magazine first on a specific page, then he opens the purple one. On both magazines, there is Taehyung. His eyes widen seeing himself on famous magazines.

He never expected to appear on these magazines, not even once. These magazines are well-known fashion magazines, that everyone reads. He remembers the first time he entered this industry, every staff had at least one of these magazines in their hand. They would spend hours talking about the content. Taehyung became so envious of these models who appeared in these magazines. When he asked his father to be on these magazines, he would always reject because the editors of these magazines only take professional models with a great career. But, now he is almost one of them.
"Surprised? " Hoseoks says as he leans over his desk.
"Hyung, I'm- "
Taehyung's words are stuck in the back of his throat. He is so fascinated and speechless.
"I know, "
His manager sits back on his desk chair and smiles at him. Taehyung smiles back and looks back at the pages.
"Hyung! " Taehyung yells as he stands up from his chair.
Hoseok screams back in surprise.
"What? "
"These pictures, they are... "
"Oh, so you finally recognize them? They were taken by Jungkook-sshi, "
Taehyung falls back on his chair. He brings the magazines closer to him and starts to study the pictures.
Yes, they are the ones.
The pictures are free from his usual arrogance, playfulness or pride expressions. He has a calm and emotional expression on both of them. It feels like staring at a painting, one that has nothing fancy or pretty on it, but still, stirs your curiosity, it makes want you to look at it more. Taehyung sees a tear falling on one of the pages. He quickly brings his hand to his cheek feeling it wet under his touch. He is crying.
