Jungkook walked into his home and made straight to his bedroom, casually throwing the contract on his bed before going for a shower as his manager's words repeated in his head.

/Read it before you sign it./

The brunette scoffed as he stopped to glance at the object on his bed upon the mental reminder. He didn't need to read it. He knew what it was and what would be written there. This must be his nth contract so he remembered the words by heart by now. All contracts had same core thing over and over with small changes in words here and there but that didn't make any difference. So he stopped reading them after a few shoots and would sign them without a second glance. Till now no deaths had occurred because of his blind signing so he was going to continue it the way it was. Why waste energy on doing something as useless as this?

After a long and relaxing bath when the brunette came out covered in his bathrobe his eyes landed on the thing occupying the place he was supposed to sleep in. The contract. It felt like this one was begging him to read it but Jungkook only smiled at it mockingly.

A small stare off took place between a human and a paper before the brunette picked it up nonchalantly and threw it on his table before jumping in his bed, fatigued. Another contract meant he wasn't getting a break after all.

"I'm not signing anything after this for a whole month."

Next morning his manager came to get the contract as he had said he would. Of course, the younger was hidden under covers, sleeping when the red head entered the household and walked into the master bedroom. Thinking about pulling the sheets, Hoseok moved ahead but remembered what the brunette had said about sleeping naked and stopped for a second. What if he really was sleeping without any clothes on? The older was about to let it go when Jungkook shifted in his sleep and exposed himself a little bit revealing that he was in his bathrobe. Hoseok smirked at the silent answer from above and moved closer to the younger to do the usual.

"Guess who is it, Kookie?"

As expected, there was no response but the red haired male knew it well that the brunette does that just because he was stubborn and not because he didn't hear the older.

*swoosh*

"Fuck you, Hoseok!"

Now he spoke. The said male laughed slightly at the groaning guy in the bed as he saw the younger kick his feet in frustration before sitting up and snatching the sheets back.

"When will you ever let me sleep in peace?"

Hoseok shrugged as he let the fabric be taken away knowing well that Jungkook won't make the mistake of trying to sleep again as long as the older was under the same roof as him. Just when the younger was setting the covers right, his manager cleared his throat to silently convey the message 'don't even think about it'.

Jungkook averted his eyes as he stopped whatever he was planning on doing which was going back to sleep.

Hoseok smirked at the obedience while the younger threw him a dirty look before getting out of bed and going to the bathroom. He knew well why the older was there and he was going to make him wait as a revenge for ruining his morning. Again.

Once he came out after taking his sweet time, Jungkook further dragged it on by taking a long time to pick his clothes for the day. Hoseok didn't mind though. He knew well his reward was just a few moments away from him so these petty things didn't bother him today. He was in a very good mood.

Once the brunette was done dressing up, he walked out moving past his manger and sitting on the couch putting his feet up on the small table placed in front of him.

Seeing the giddy look on the red head's face made the younger mad because he did so much effort to piss him off but it had no effect. The older, however, ignored the brunette's scowling and changed the subject to the real purpose for which he was there.

"Did you sign the contract?"

Jungkook sighed before he pointed with his eyes towards the table that had the large brown envelope seated on it peacefully next to which he had placed his feet, instead of answering verbally.

Hoseok picked the object and opened it's flap to take out the white paper from inside. Once he found what he was looking for the older tried to contain his happiness.

"Did you read it?"

His manager asked when he saw Jungkook's signature at the end of the contract. The brunette didn't even bother to open his eyes as he hummed in response while resting his head on the couch since he was still feeling sleepy.

"Did you really read it?"

Jungkook felt annoyed at the repetition of the question and opened his eyes half way to glare at his manager.

"Didn't you just hear me? Take it and leave. Now."

Hoseok couldn't help but smirk as he eyed the contract once again and then the carefree Jungkook. It was too much to hold in but the older was doing a great job so far. He had to keep it natural if he wanted to make sure that the signed contract made its way to the Big Hit's office without Jungkook finding out that he dug a grave for himself.

"I'm going to ask you one last time. Are you sure you read it and agreed to all the terms? There's no turning back after I take it to BigHit."

Jungkook sighed when he heard those words and lifted his legs off of the table in front of him before standing up slowly and stretching a bit.

"Well? Did you or did you not?"

The red head egged him again just because he was very excited. Another irritated sigh left the younger's perfect lips as he pinched his nose bridge and then looked up at his smirking manager with an annoyed glare.

"If you are still here after I count to five, you're fired. 1.. 2.. 3.."

Hoseok tilted his neck and laughed slightly at Jungkook. He had to let it out. Thankfully, the brunette was a dick so he didn't think much about the change in his manager's attitude.

"Okay then. See you later, Kookie. This will be fun."

Jungkook rolled his eyes but as soon as his ears heard the nickname he glared spears at his manager.

"Don't call me that."

Hoseok tried to control but everything seemed funnier than usual now and he was still laughing as he walked away, ignoring Jungkook's complains. The younger still didn't question it even when his manager slipped up by saying the last few words.

Jungkook better be prepared for what was to come.
