Make-Up ~ A Jungkook x Reader

~Part Two~

     They all eventually arrive at BigHit, and as per usual, there's a crowd of reporters and fan account owners huddled outside the car. Y/N stiffens after noticing the amount. Jungkook notices, and slides a light hand onto the woman's knee. "Hey, you'll be fine, they don't hurt anyone," he reassures softly. "They freak me out," Y/N admits, keeping her gaze locked on the exterior. "Hey," Jungkook says firmly enough to drag Y/N's gaze to him, "let me go first, and you can just stick next to me," He offers kindly. "Ok," Y/N agrees, scooting as far back in her seat as she can. Jungkook smiles, and squeezes around her, an awkwardly tight fit. He mumbles a quick "Sorry" after getting around. "It's fine," Y/N says quickly, eager to get inside the building and away from the crowd.

     "Ready?" JK asks, hand on the door handle. Y/N only nods in response, the Maknae then pulling open the door and hopping out. He steps back slightly, leaving room for Y/N to slip out. His hand is on Y/N's lower arm the second her feet hit the ground, keeping her close as they push their way into the building. "See? That wasn't too bad," Jungkook comments, although his heavy breathing contradicts his statement. Y/N just scowls in response, still not used to the seemingly simple ordeal of getting into the building. "Alright, since you boys have worked hard today, I'll leave you guys to do whatever stuff you need to do until around 6-ish," Sejin announces, "but no messing around; it's gotta be a productive time," he adds. "Finally," Yoongi mutters, immediately heading towards his studio. Most of the guys head off to do stuff; only Jeongguk, Taehyung, and Jin remaining, discussing their plans.

     Y/N suddenly realizes she doesn't know where to go, biting her lip in confusion. "Hey Sejin?" Y/N says quietly, still slightly intimidated by the large man. "Yes?" He answers, looking down at Y/N. "Uh, what do I do?" the make-up artist asks sheepishly. "Oh, right; you can rest in the staff room until the end of the day," he smiles. Y/N bows, getting ready to head that way until there's a hand on her shoulder. "Sejin-ssi, can Y/N come with me for today?" Jungkook asks, throwing on a bunny smile to bribe Sejin. "I don't see a problem with that, as long as you work," Sejin agrees, walking away. "Why do you want me to hang out with you?" Y/N asks, curious. "Because we're friends of course!" He says happily, his bunny smile still plastered on his face, "and I like not being lonely," he adds, laughing. "Well this sounds more exciting than the staff room," Y/N jokes, following the Maknae to where he's choosing to work.

     "The recording studio?" Y/N asks, nothing where Jungkook has led her to. "Yeah, is that ok, Noona?" He asks, looking back the the make-up artist. "Oh, yeah! I've just never seen the inside before," Y/N admits, laughing. "Oh! Lemme give you the tour!" Jungkook exclaims excitedly, opening the door, stepping back to let Y/N in first. Y/N's eyes widen as she enters; the room looking nothing like she would've expected. "This is way different then on TV," she comments quietly to herself. "Yeah, I was surprised too," Jungkook says as he enters behind her, catching what she had mumbled. "I said I was gonna give a tour, but I think you get the gist of it," Jungkook chuckles, walking over and sitting by a mic.

     "I was gonna practice some of our "Love Yourself" songs, and some older ones too, if that's ok," the Maknae tells Y/N. "That's fine by me," Y/N nods, taking a seat in a chair. Jungkook flashed her a smile before slipping on the headphones and turning on the equipment. Y/N watches in fascination, amazed by how comfortable the boy is in this room. After warming up his voice, Jungkook starts on a song he says is called "Crystal Snow," which Y/N has never heard before. After the boy begins, Y/N is basked in the most heavenly voice she's ever heard, singing a slow love song while full of emotion. Y/N can't help but stare as the boy practices, mesmerized by his vocals. At some point, Jungkook looks up at her, smiling after noticing her staring. Y/N looks away immediately, her cheeks blushing with the embarrassment of being caught staring.

     After a few more songs, Jungkook slips the headphones off his head, letting out a sigh as he slouches back in his seat. "Tired?" Y/N asks, looking over at him. "Nope, just bored," Jungkook laughs. "Oh, well is there any fun work for you to do?" Y/N asks, recalling Sejin's warning earlier. "Nope, but there's fun not-work stuff for me to do," the Maknae says deviously. "Wanna go get snacks?" Jungkook asks, hopping off of his chair and walking over to Y/N, plopping himself on the floor in front of her. "I don't think Sejin would like that," she answers slightly nervously; not wanting to disobey on her first day. "Aw, c'mon; we can just tell him that I was hungry and needed some food-energy," he says, flashing a pout. "God that pout kills me," Y/N mentally concludes. "Fine, but let's make it quick," Y/N sighs, finally giving in. "Yay!" JK cheers, jumping up and grabbing Y/N's hand, dragging her out the door of the studio.

     Jungkook leads Y/N through the hall of BigHit, eventually arriving at a vending machine. As Y/N examines their surroundings, she realizes that they're on the other side of the building. "Jungkook?" She asks, putting on her best 'disappointed-mom-voice.' "Yes Noona?" He asks, looking from the snack over to her. "Why'd you go to this vending machine when there's some way closer," Y/N says, trying to hold back a laugh. "I wanted more time off," he says, showing a cheeky smile. Y/N shakes her head and chuckles, honestly not surprised. "You want anything?" JK asks, pushing the button for his chips. "I'm good, I didn't bring my wallet anyways," Y/N shrugs. JK nods before turning back to the vending machine. In all honesty, Y/N was starving, but she just didn't want to admit it. Suddenly, she feels her phone vibrate, so she pulls it out of her jeans pocket. Checking it, it's just a generic "Hope you're having a good day!" text from her mom. Y/N smiles and puts her phone back, turning to Jungkook. "Ready to head back?" She asks, although she can already guess his answer. He shakes his head, another devious smile creeping onto his face. "Oh god what do you have planned now," Y/N laughs. JK doesn't respond, instead just taking Y/N's hand in his and leading her to the stairs. "Why stairs?" Y/N questions, noting how they're on the second floor and the studio is on the fifth. "You'll see," Jungkook says simply, smiling at the make-up artist.

     Eventually, after what seemed to be millions of stairs, the two arrive at a door. "Where's this go to?" Y/N asks confusedly, having never seen this door before. "The roof," Jungkook says with a smile, holding the door open for Y/N. She steps out and gasps, blown away by the view. She runs over to the side of the building, gazing out over the city. "It's so beautiful," she murmurs, captivated by the glowing lights of the city. "It's my favorite place in the building," Jungkook admits, flopping onto the ground, slouching against the slight wall at the edge. Y/N finishes viewing before sitting down next to Jungkook, leaving a slight professional gap between them two. "Here," Jungkook says, holding out a bag of fruit snacks. "How'd you..." Y/N trails off. "I heard your stomach in the studio," Jungkook chuckles. "Oh," Y/N says quietly, her cheeks flushing slightly. She takes the snack, murmuring a quick thanks. "It's nothing," Jungkook smiles, tearing open his chips and munching on some. Y/N eats her fruit snacks, her annoyed stomach soothing slightly.

     "What made you want to be a make-up artist?" Jungkook asks, looking over at Y/N. "I don't really know," Y/N shrugs. "I always liked watching the beauty ads on TV when I was little and I guess I just never grew out of that fascination," she laughs. Jungkook nods and smiles, looking into Y/N's eyes. "Why'd you want to be an idol?" Y/N asks, curious to know his beginnings. "I would say my interest started as a child and developed, but I was honestly still a child when I became a trainee," he chuckles. "I was accepted and trained here for a while until PD-nim decided I didn't dance with enough emotion and shipped me to lessons in America," he continues. "After a year of that, we debuted when I was 15," Jungkook sighs, recalling the stress he felt in that time. "I'm just happy the Hyungs helped me turn out ok," he half-jokes. "That must've been tough," Y/N comments, her mind flooded with the possibilities of how young JK might've felt. "It was, but I wouldn't change it for anything," Jungkook replies, smiling. Y/N smiles too, but after a few seconds realizes how close the two are sitting. At some point, Jungkook or Y/N must've shifted over, because now the two are sat with their arms pressed together and their knees connected.

     Suddenly, the Maknae's phone buzzes, and he picks it up. "It's Sejin, he says to meet him in the lobby," Jungkook tells Y/N, standing up. After he stands, Y/N realizes how chilly she is without the boy next to her. Jungkook reaches a hand down Y/N, helping the make-up artist up. Jungkook smiles at her before leading the way down to the elevator, choosing that over a repeat of their stair adventure earlier.

     The two reach the lobby fairly quickly, although only having beat Yoongi, who was probably rushing to wrap something up. After a minute, the last boy arrives, and Sejin acknowledges his presence with a nod. "Alright, I was thinking we could all go out to dinner with Ms. Y/N here so we can get more acquainted," Sejin proposes. The boys all nod, Jungkook a little more enthusiastic than the others. "You're ok with that, right Y/N?" Sejin checks. "Yep," Y/N agrees, surprised to find that she's eager to spend more time with Jungkook. "Then it's settled, let's head out," Sejin nods.

-Thanks for reading part two! I just wanted to clarify something; Y/N and Jungkook haven't realized they like the other yet, and mostly their relationship is currently friends who acknowledge the good looks of the other lmao. Anyways, stay tuned for part three! <3
