The next day Jungkook was delivered to the SM studios half hour before the given time by the ever responsible manager of his who was grinning brightly as he pulled the mumbling brunette along with him.

"You should've listened to me and slept on time last night instead of playing games till three in the morning."

Of course there was no reasonable counter- or any counter, for that matter- to that but when you're a stuck up asshole, reasons form in a split second.

"You're not my mother. Why should I listen to you?"

Just like this one. Hoseok shook his head in disappointment as he decided to not respond to the childish answer.

"Glad to see you guys making it in time again."

Suzy appeared from behind them as they walked towards the same room as yesterday, interrupting their casual bickering.

"Oh, hi Suzy."

The cheerful manager responded enthusiastically while Jungkook ignored her existence completely. Suzy raised her defined eyebrows at his attitude but Hoseok waved his hand in front of her gesturing to ignore him. Smiling slightly she did just that wondering, as she walked with them, how his manager was able to handle the brunette and still be so bright and full of energy?

When they made it to the shooting area, everything was already set in place and Lisa was getting ready. The staff in charge of Jungkook was waiting for the said male to arrive so they could get him ready as well. As soon as they caught his sight, they all became active and started moving around getting things for him.

"Jungkook, nice to see you again."

The hair stylist greeted him but the rude male walked right past her and sat on his chair. The patient lady sighed and let it go as the make up artist started working with him.

When they were set for their shooting, the costume designer informed the director who immediately announced for them to take positions. Today again, they would be doing two sessions so he wanted to start quickly to wrap it up in time.

Jungkook went to sit behind Lisa and placed his chin gently on her head while holding his hand out to grab the camera from the side while Lisa pulled her shirt up just above her mouth and winked for the camera.

It didn't take long before a couple of pictures were taken successfully and they were asked to change again.

Lisa quietly focused on her task without bothering to try and talk to her arrogant partner. She had learned her lesson well yesterday and she wasn't going to make the same mistake of humiliating herself again.

Once they were ready again, they were positioned in the next setting with Jungkook in a suit and Lisa in a shirt with frills and shorts. As they posed for the camera in various angles the flashes appeared over and over and the next shoot also ended in a jiffy.

The professionals worked without flaws and it allowed them to save time, both their own and that of the crew.

The director cheered everyone up in the end as usual before closing up and leaving the area to attend a call. Jungkook was about to slip away again but this time he got caught by his manager.

"Not so fast."

The sudden appearance in front of him startled him a bit but the brunette retained his poker face as he stared down at the red head standing in front of him.

"Move."

Hoseok stared back and immediately put on a stern face which intimidated the younger, although, he hid it well.

"No."

The brunette raised an eyebrow at the resistance of his manager but the older only furrowed his own as his chest heaved once in apparent anger. It took nearly three seconds for the staring contest to end.

"Sheesh. Fine."

A sly smirk made its way on the red head's face as he saw the younger turning back in defeat and throwing himself on the couch. It was days like these when being Jungkook's manager made Hoseok feel like a god because he was the only person that had this much control over him. No one else could tame the little shit like he could and it was definitely an honor.

Once the director returned he sighed in relief at the sight of both models' presence and made his way to them.

"Lisa, Jungkook!"

As he called the names of the young ones, two heads turned to look at him, neither belonging to the said male.

"Jungkook, stand the fuck up."

Hoseok hissed at his boss as he stood next to him watching the director walking towards them as Lisa came with her manager and joined the red head.

"Watch your langua-"

The brunette muttered back nonchalantly but before he could complete his statement and sink in further in the couch to become more comfortable, his manager discretely yet very harshly pinched his shoulder.

"Up. Now."

The director didn't see or hear anything except for how Jungkook suddenly stood up straight next to his smiling manager and Lisa who didn't seem to consider his attitude weird at all. But for the director it was quite shocking that the cocky young model was giving him respect and he couldn't keep his excited smile in control as he came and stood in front of the four of them.

"Thank you so much for agreeing to this shoot. I wanted to hand the checks to you personally and have a few words if you have time."

Lisa's manager received the check as the model bowed in respect while Hoseok glared deadly at his underling who was about to roll his eyes, warning him silently before the director turned his attention towards them.

"Thank you."

The red haired male received the check on Jungkook's behalf and stepped on the younger's foot which made the brunette bow in pain.

The director's heart was filled with joy as he saw the two guys bent in front of him.

After that was cleared, the director offered the two models with a proposal of shooting for their magazine once every year. Lisa and her manager gracefully thanked him and after a few words of discussion with each other they agreed. Meanwhile, Hoseok went over his boss's schedule on his tab to see if they could agree to the offer or not. Seeing how tightly packed it was, he pouted slightly before looking up at the expecting director.

"I'm sorry but his schedule is very tight for the next year. We cannot guarantee if we will be available at this time next year or not. I'm really very sorry."

Hoseok, being a gentleman, tried to be as polite as he could while rejecting the proposal when he heard the younger one mumble next to him.

"You're apologizing like you killed his dog."

Thankfully, the director didn't hear it and agreed with Hoseok's reasoning so the said male excused himself to leave with his brunette.

Once they were out of the building and walking towards the car, the red head walked two steps ahead to reach first and open the door for Jungkook.

"I was practicing it just in case I ever kill you in future and have to apologise to him."

The older said with a cheeky grin as the brunette moved to sit inside and earned a venomous glare but before anything could be said he shut the car door hard in Jungkook's face almost hitting him but barely missed it.

As he walked over to the other side and sat in the driver's seat, the fuming brunette kept glaring at him.

"Did you just call me a dog?"

The smug manager looked to his side innocently and smiled.

"I don't recall ever using that word for you, Jungkook."

The younger clenched his teeth at the smart move and even though he wanted to throw the cheerfully humming male out of the window he had to suck it in. Times like these made him wish for Hoseok's retirement more than anything. He was the only person who never threatened to quit no matter how much of a pain in the ass Jungkook would become. He would stick to his side as if he was permanently glued to him and would even dominate him enough to make the brunette obey him. That was what the younger hated the most. He hated to be ordered around by others and Hoseok would do just that. He couldn't understand why in the world was this red head so patient and bearing when he had millions of chances to quit the job and get a better one just like rest of his managers did? Even though at times he was slightly thankful for how his manager would handle the situations or manage his schedule, the majority of the time he was pissed at him. Just like now.

"Why don't you just die in a blast?"

The younger mumbled in anger but the older heard him fine and decided to press his buttons again instead of getting hurt himself by the harsh words.

"Are you saying you're going to fart again?"

Jungkook's head whipped to his side in a flash as he heard that and saw his manager laughing at his own joke.

"I DO NOT FART THAT LOUDLY, HOSEOK!"

The brunette yelled feeling extremely embarrassed and infuriated at the accusation but his manager only laughed louder egging him more. This was why he hated Hoseok. He turned the tables around with Jungkook all the time.
