it was like dejavu. the next day went by just like the one previously and happened to do so just as fast. the only difference was that the rockstar didn't have an attitude when he showed up. he just walked in, surprisingly on time again, and walked over to the stylist chair to sit and get done up. 

"hey kook." taehyung said as he sat, letting the nickname slip and not even feeing weird about it. he was pretending today, like last night didn't happen. it would have to wait until there was a better time to ask questions.

jungkook hummed and continued to touch his things. it seemed like a habit, to continuously count and organize his products until he actually had to use it. "hey." he said. it was short, but the ravenette actually stopped to smile a bit at the rockstar.

"can we do something different today?" taehyung asked. he stayed up late on twitter looking at edits of himself. it was not the best thing to do since he now had a head full of ideas and impulsive urges. jungkook even rose an eyebrow and started laying out the products he was using. "what do you mean?" he asked, taking the concealer and putting it under the males eyes. his bags weren't as bad as they had been, thankfully.

"shave my eyebrows."

"excuse me-" jungkook nearly dropped the brush and ruined the blend of colors he was working on over the boys monolid. the palette was gorgeous, a pretty orange fading into red with a gold shimmer on top. it was much prettier of a look compared to what went on when the concert gets closer to finishing, consisting of a smokey eye and eyeliner. "i'm not shaving your fucking eyebrows." he said once collecting his thoughts and realizing what the boy was asking for.

"listen to me." taehyung started to pull out his phone and find that one picture from twitter. "trust me, it will look good." he said.

jungkook dabbed a little sparkle onto the tip of his middle finger, asking the rockstar to close his eyes again so he could dab the pretty shimmer over his lids. "here." he had his eyes closed, but held his hand out to show what was on his phone.

the photo didn't not convince the stylist. he scrunched his nose and stood back to look between the screen and back at the rockstars face. "are you sure?" jungkook asked.

taehyung just nodded. "let's do it. come on." he clapped his hands and turned to the mirror, trying to picture it already.

his stylist wasn't too sure, but that would be a lesson for the younger to learn on his own. jungkook just did as he was told. the sound of the buzzer filled the room just as the head designer walked in, just seeing that thing getting close to taehyungs face and not holding back the scream.

"what the fuck are you doing?" hoseok ran over and saw the glare shot his way. jungkook could say a lot with just one look and was succeeding very much right now. "you're going to mess me up." he said.

it only took a second, and jungkook made sure to copy the photo as best he could. when he said he wanted his eyebrow shaved, jungkook assumed he meant completely off. the photo at least made the stylist feel a little better about what he was doing, since he only buzzed two cuts in the rockstars right brow in the shape of an x. hoseok made a face he entire time.

"you want the jewel too?" jungkook asked, setting the buzzer down on the table and reaching for the sheet of sparkly jewels, different sizes and shapes. taehyung was smiling and nodding, too excited for this.

jungkook took the jewel at the end of a pair of tweezers, leaning in close and sticking the small bit right in the center of the x. "there." he said, standing straighter and stepping back to look at the boy grinning up at him still.

"do i look stunning?" he posed in the chair, tilting his chin up and looking at himself in the mirror through the side of his eye. jungkook didn't look up, but he answered anyways, "always."

"you look like namjoon is gonna lecture you once he sees." hoseok said, finally walking away to get the stage outfits ready for tonight's show. the girls were there already working. taehyung followed, "he's going to see and want one too." he said.

"i highly doubt it." hoseok said, his voice getting muffled as he starting unzipping the outfits and getting ready for tonight. they continued bickering over the new eyebrow look, jungkook just listened and chuckled.

it was definitely starting better than day one, still going by just as fast. soon the rockstar was on stage again and absolutely killing it. jungkook watched from the side and waited for touch ups and water breaks. taehyung drowned in sounds of his name being yelled and got drunk off the adrenaline in his system.

then they were in the dressing room again, changing and cleaning up. taehyung sat in the chair and spun to look at the ravenette. "is the first song still your favorite?" it was the first thing he asked.

"i feel like you're going to ask me that after every show." jungkook said.

taehyung swayed back and forth in the chair, long legs extended and sweat still trailing down his temples and making his bright red hair stick. "yeah probably." he said.

"it's gonna be a long tour." the stylist closed the makeup case and grabbed his bag. he cleaned up quicker today, already having a routine down just from one nights experience. "and you'll enjoy the entire thing." taehyung smiled as he stood up from chair and patted the older mans chest before walking off to change.

"i'm sure." jungkook said it out loud, but more to himself since the other was too busy changing to hear him.

taehyung felt his phone vibrate, already knowing it was some of his friends probably at the jungle and sitting behind velvet ropes waiting for him. the thought sent a wave of nerves in the rockstars stomach.

"aren't you going to be late?" jungkook was standing by the door to the dressing room, his backpack on and dark eyes already looking at the other male. taehyung shook his head and left his phone in his pocket, "for what." he was playing dumb.

jungkook knew this too and just rolled his eyes. "you can go. i don't need a babysitter." he said.

"i wasn't trying to be your babysitter." taehyung was standing in front of him now, no one else in the room. "i was just trying to be there." he knew he said he would pretend it didn't happen, for the older males sake, but technically he was the one the bring it up.

"i'm fine tae." jungkook said, even smiling to push the point home. "go have fun. you earned it."

he'd be lying if he said he didn't want to go out tonight. it was different, considering he didn't have a show tomorrow so he didn't have to worry about being hungover or not. taehyung grinned and hugged the man, wrapping his arms around his neck and then letting go just as quick. "if you need anything text me!" taehyung yelled, already shoving the door open and practically running down the corridor. 

jungkook just chuckled and left the room as well, not nearly as fast but in the same direction. he had his car today, and it was parked with a special staff pass and easier to get to. he slid into the drivers seat, throwing his backpack on the other one. the next show was in four days.

that was four days off and four days to find something to do. jungkook would figure it out later, probably just spending those days sleeping in and going to bed early.

it was not the rockstar life — that life was one not fit for him. he didn't know how taehyung did it, how he could do an entire show and then go out to party some more until he probably wasn't even able to tell what time it was. it all just sounded so tiring to the older one.

opposites must really attract, or at least think the same. taehyung couldn't see how the ravenette didn't want to go out for a few hours and unwind. there was no way he could just go home after a show with all this energy and adrenaline and expect himself to lay down for bed. it was ridiculous really. every part of his body felt on edge, like he was still on stage and still needed to jump around some more to get it all out of his system.

taehyung wanted nothing more than to go out tonight, but he sat in his car, one of his songs playing and his driver making small talk about the show, and he actually wished jungkook had come along tonight so he wouldn't be sitting by himself right now — and he couldn't figure out which one of them would be more lonely tonight.
