Jungkook was enjoying his peaceful sleep that had been, somehow, left unbothered yesterday and today as well. For whatever reason it was, his evil manager didn't show up and let the brunette enjoy his slumber. It was weird that it was the second consecutive morning when nothing was going wrong and it should have had rang some bells in the brunette's head but being carefree, he didn't bother to think about it. What mattered most was that he was getting plenty of rest.

That was until

Brrring brrring

The annoying sound of his phone ruined the peaceful silence of Jungkook's household and the young model immediately covered his ears trying to block the ringing but it seemed to get louder the more he tried to ignore it. Eventually, he sat up and threw his pillow in a random direction in anger before he glared at the device placed at the table wondering why was anyone calling him? He had a manager for a reason.

He cursed the person calling him before throwing the covers away furiously as he got out of his bed and stomping over to his table where he left his phone to pick it up. As he approached the table and grabbed the device, the scowl on his face deepened as he saw an unknown number calling. If this was a prank call he'll kill his manager first for even letting his number get in such hands and then find the person who called him to skin him alive.

"What?"

His signature annoyed reply to every phone call was the first sound that echoed in the dead silent house.

"I-Is this *ahrm* Is this Jeon Jungkook?"

The scared female voice from the other side stuttered as she asked carefully as if her life was on the line.

"No. He's dead. What more do you want?"

The line went silent for a while after the woman gasped and Jungkook groaned when a few seconds passed before he face palmed because he realized that the dumb person on the other end actually believed his sarcastic reply. The mere thought of someone being that stupid made him want to strangle that idiot who ruined his sleep by calling.

"I'm Jungkook and I'm not dead. What is it?"

The brunette slowly dragged each word to ensure that the woman was clearly conveyed that he was dripping venom from every cell of his body as he was talking.

"O-oh. Uh um yes. *ahrm* I'm Suzy from BigHit. I don't know if you remember me. I called to inform you that your first photoshoot will be tomorrow at 10am at our main building. You will be doing it with your costar Kim Taehyung."

As soon as he heard the words BigHit, photoshoot and tomorrow, Jungkook tuned her out. Those were all he needed to hear. Rest was useless and his mind wasn't working much right after he was woken up so brutally so his manager could handle it whatever it was.

"Yeah ok whatever."

Jungkook ended the call before he could let Suzy say something else and threw it on the bed before ruffling his hair and deciding to slip back under the covers. Hoseok hadn't bothered him all day or night and Jungkook was more than thankful. By the time it got dark, the brunette had already forgotten about the phone call and was ready for another day of doing nothing at all other than sleeping.

Unfortunately the next morning wasn't as splendid as he had planned. How did Jungkook find that out? Simple. It was the cursed morning ritual that gave him the sad news.

"Wakey wakey Jungkookie~"

The said male squeezed his already closed eyes at the familiar voice. Poor boy. He didn't want to get up but as soon as he heard the water pouring sound his eyes shot open and the model stared at the older to show him he was awake but his manager was staring at the glass of water he was holding now.

When Hoseok put the threatening glass of water down, the brunette averted his eyes as he slowly got up spitting curses and all sorts of bad lucks he could wish for his manager as he walked towards the bathroom not sparing a single glance at the older who he knew would have a mocking smirk on his stupid face right now.

When the younger came out and dressed up he, finally, looked at the grinning manager. He was about to ask about the reason of the other's happiness when he noticed something else.

"Why did you dye your hair?"

The manager smiled at the younger before replying.

"I used to think you were colorblind."

Jungkook's jaw clenched at that and he retorted.

"You look like shit, now. Oh wait. You always do."

Hoseok wanted to strangle his boss but suppressed his urge since the younger's fate would be doing that to him in his manager's place and that too for a long time now.

The reassurance brought back the giddy smile on the older's face and the brunette gagged at the amount of joy oozing out of the pinkish haired male before leaving him behind to go in the kitchen and grab a bite.

When Hoseok saw him eating cereals he couldn't help but tease the younger.

"What grade are you in again?"

The brunette ignored the question as he continued to munch on his breakfast before the older spoke again, but this time like a mother cooing at her child.

"Do you want me to pack some fruits for you today or do you want sandwiches for lunch, Jungkookie?"

The said male glared daggers at his manager who was doubling over as he was laughing and mumbled.

"Asshole."

When he was done, the older reminded him why he was at the brunette's house.

"You have your first shoot with BigHit today."

Of course he didn't remember but was he going to show that to Hoseok? No.

"Yeah, I know."

But the older being 'older' knew his boss well.

"Of course, you do."

Jungkook reached the Big Hit building with his manager half hour before ten, being dragged through the building because he fell asleep on their drive and was still trying to sleep.

"Oh! Jungkook is here."

The same voice from the phone call rang in Jungkook's ears and he flinched. It was Suzy.

Too loud. She was too loud. Not just her voice but her make up and flashy clothes too. It stung Jungkook's eyes last time and it did today as well. The woman was practically coated with make up from head to toe. Yuck. The expression on the brunette's face said a lot but to get away from another apology on his behalf the older quickly replied to her to move on.

"Yeah."

Suzy smiled brightly as she guided Hoseok and Jungkook towards the makeup room.

"Please follow me. Taehyung arrived before you so he's already there. You two can meet and-"

"Taehyung?"

Suzy kept walking and talking about the usual things that Jungkook knew well but he was neither following her nor listening to her. His mind was fixed on one damn thing.

"Taehyung can't be a girl's name, can it?"

The woman looked over her shoulder but before she could continue she realized that Jungkook had stopped walking and was staring at Suzy's back while the younger's manager was busy on his phone behind him. The said woman looked at the brunette in confusion wondering what could have happened. Seeing the said male look at her blankly made her uncomfortable so she turned forward again thinking maybe Jungkook heard Hoseok say something on the phone.

Meanwhile, as soon as the realization hit the young model he felt his blood starting to boil.

"Hold on."

The sudden cold command gave Suzy chills as she turned back around to face the brunette.

"Y-yes? What is it, Jungkook?"

Jungkook narrowed his eyes at her as he walked over slowly and stopped only a few inches away towering over her like a python staring at its prey.

"That doesn't sound like a girl's name."

Suzy gulped under the pressure but when she heard that she blinked twice before tilting her head at him.

"It isn't. Taehyung is a guy."

Jungkook grit his teeth and clenched his fists to stop himself from hitting this eye sore of a woman who was so ignorant about such a basic thing.

"I'm not shooting with a male. Didn't you know that? Jeon Jungkook doesn't work with male costars."

"But-"

Before Suzy could respond, Jungkook's manger appeared at his side and signalled her to give them a moment. Suzy stumbled away trying to look unfazed but it was so obvious that Jungkook had scared her to the bone.

As soon as she went out of vision, Hoseok stood in front of his boss and smirked evilly as he said the words he had been dying to say for a long time now.

"Oh, yes you are. This is for an lgbt+ magazine and you signed the contract with your own hand."

Before the younger could protest, the pinkette spoke again in a very excited tone while placing his hands on younger's shoulders.

"But you know what the best part of it is? Taehyung is gay."

Jungkook's eyes went as wide as a plate before he growled.

"HE'S WHAT?"

Hoseok smirked as he knew the younger would try to turn back from right there so he quickly held the brunette in his grip while the young one tried to get free by squirming. Giving no chance to over power him the pinkette pushed Jungkook forward while reminding him that he dug his own grave.

"I gave you three chances to back out but since you read the contract you already knew so we are good. Now, let's get changed."

Ignoring the part of himself being at fault for being in this place the brunette kept struggling and his voice became louder. So much so that Suzy could hear it and of course she had to see what was going on out of curiosity.

"I'm not shooting with a disgrace. Hoseok, get your hands off of me. I'm leaving now."

The woman gasped as she heard that but the scene in front of her was a bit too hilarious to get mad at the younger.

"It's your fault. Now shut up and move your ass."

Jungkook glared over his shoulder at his manager but Hoseok showed no sign of stopping as he kept pushing Jungkook.

"Hoseok. I'll fire you."

The brunette wished that threat would work on his manger but the Satan's child didn't even blink as he replied without skipping a beat.

"You can't. Because no one wants to be your manager. Don't waste your energy. Move."

Suzy couldn't help but giggle as she saw the most stoic and uptight model of the industry being treated like that by his manager.

"Serves him right."
