too many papers, too little time

7.

"Are you really sure you want to do this?"

Yuta sighed and leaned his head back, staring up at Jaehyun. The younger boy had the dye brush gripped in between his teeth as he rolled his eyes at Yuta. He slipped the gloves onto his hands, he then pulled the brush from his lips as he inspected the older boy's hair. "You're going to look stunning, I promise. Besides purple is the current trend right now."

"I've never seen a single soul with purple hair." Yuta frowned. "Is this colour even allowed at work? Isn't there some kind of rule against certain hair colours or something?" He asked.

Jaehyun clicked his tongue and rolled his eyes as he ran his fingers through Yuta's freshly bleached hair. "Have you forgotten that Taeil's hair is literally firetruck red and Jungwoo is bright orange?" Yuta whined as Jaehyun tugged on a certain strand too harshly. "Stop trying to get out of this, besides you promised me!" The younger boy rested his chin on the older boy's head. "And do you think I would actually let you look bad?" Jaehyun raised a brow.

He wouldn't dare dream of it. Jaehyun had dyed his own hair and other people's hair multiple times before so he knew what he was doing. However when he would dye his own hair, it wouldn't be too bold or too dull, this time around he also made a promise with Yuta that he would dye his own hair a different colour so Yuta wouldn't suffer alone. That was why Jaehyun's hair was slightly waved and now a baby pink colour which Yuta thought was amazing and suited the younger boy.

It took a little bit longer this time around simply because Yuta kept trying to stall Jaehyun from applying the dark coloured dye to his hair. Now he had his head leaned over the edge of the bathtub as Jaehyun ran his hands through Yuta's newly coloured hair, making sure that all of the dark dye was washed out. Thankfully along with Jaehyun's expertise in hair, also came his hair products that never failed to help keep his hair soft and fluffy as it usually is. 

Yuta couldn't help but let out a small groan as Jaehyun worked in the conditioner which topped of the process. "All done! Now lets dry it." Jaehyun turned the water off and helped Yuta stand up, guiding him over to a chair so Jaehyun could easily dry it. Yuta couldn't help but cheer as soon as Jaehyun mentioned that his hair was fully dry and styled, and that he could see what it looked like. He turned around in the chair and smiled widely upon seeing the result, Jaehyun even went out of his way to curl it slightly; looking very identical to his own style.

Surprisingly, it wasn't terrible. It wasn't bad at all. The more Yuta stared at his own reflection in the mirror, pushing his now waved bangs to the side and watched how they fell right back into place, the more he began to actually like how the colour looked on him. It was certainly different, that's for sure. He didn't really bother about what colour his hair was until he self dyed it baby pink which didn't last too long.

"You look amazing." Jaehyun reappeared behind him, arms wrapping around him in a bear hug. Yuta shivered with a small whine, as he tried to move away from Jaehyun's fingers which were now gently running through his hair. "Thank you." He said, head tilting as he smiled brightly at the other boy. The pair stayed there for a few seconds before Yuta glanced at the wall and internally panicked. "What time does the party start?" He questioned. "It starts at 7, why?" Jaehyun furrowed his brows as he removed his arms before looking up in the same direction as Yuta. "Oh right! Let's get dressed now because I know the boss doesn't like us being late, especially for these parties." Jaehyun informed as he jogged out of the bathroom and to his bag he brought which held his clothes.

Luckily Yuta had picked his outfit beforehand so he just threw on the black printed button up shirt with a pair of dark blue skinny jeans. Upon tying his shoes, Jaehyun reappeared in yet again an almost identical attire to him. "From the looks of things, people are going to think we're dating." Yuta joked as Jaehyun rolled his eyes. "Doyoung would actually kill you if he heard that." Jaehyun shook his head as the pair pulled on their designated jackets and headed out into the evening.
