Present

Author's POV

The backstage was a bit chaotic -- to say the least. People are rushing around with make up and clothes in their hands, trying to atttend to the models who will ramp on the runway in less than 10 minutes.

No one can be seen doing nothing because today marks the 4th anniversary of Jung Modeling Agency which means a lot of elites from the business world will be attending, the president -- Jung Hoseok--- included.

Everyone is agitated, even the models who are currently having the finishing touches on their face and wardrobe are feeling the pressure especially the top 3 models who will be the finale of the show.

Kim Seokjin, Park Jimin and Kim Taehyung.

Among the models, the 3 were given more attention because they need to look perfect in all aspects.

Their manager, who happens to be Seokjin's boyfriend, looks more stressed than anyone else in the room.

"Hyung, why don't you calm your daddy over there? He's so agitated I tell you." Jimin laughed at Namjoon's stressed out face.

"Let him be, Jimin. I'll comfort him later after the show." Jin maliciously smiled and winked.

Jimin and Taehyung both rolled their eyes and in unison mouthed "Eww." making the older laugh, his windshield wiper kind of laugh.

"Hey, you seem to be enjoying yourself honey." Namjoon approached them and kissed Jin in his lips. It's supposed to be a quick kiss, but Jin naughtily wrapped his arms around Namjoon's nape to deepen the kiss.

"Can you two get a room?" Jimin faked his disgust.

The two pulled away from each other, panting, as if they ran a marathon.

"Hyung, your lipstick is smudged. Make up artist noona will surely scold you." Taehyung pointed out. And as if on cue, a snarl was heard behind them.

"Sir Namjoon! Why are you ruining his make up!" Seo, the make up artist, appeared. She hurriedly removed the smudged lipstick and applied a new one.

Jimin and Taehyung giggled at the sight. Namjoon, on the other hand, is quite taken aback. He sheepishly rubbed his nape, his dimples showing, making him look like a cute little boy who was scolded from eating candies without permission.

Seo also retouches the make up of the other two, to make sure that they are ready for the runway.

"Okay done. Don't do anything to ruin your look or else..." Seo warned before going back to her place. The three just giggled as they look at Namjoon who's grinning from ear to ear.

"Seo noona is mad at you hyung." Taehyung teased.

"It's not my fault. Jin just looks so beautiful, I just want to kiss him." Namjoon replied while hugging Jin from the back. Jin purred like a kitten at his lover's touch.

Their teasing and laughing were interrupted by the floor manager who's now asking all the models to line up for the runway.

"Everyone! Line up now! The show is about to start!"

Taehyung, Jimin and Seokjin stood instantly. They ckecked their look for the last time before joining the other models in the line.

"Do your best, my models!" Namjoon cheered them up before heading out of the backstage and into the crowd.

The show has three themes: first is the sportswear look, wherein the models will ramp different sporty looks and apparel; the second one is the bad boy look, with leathers and other clothes that shout "bad boy" in them; and lastly is the bdsm inspired look, with straps and other kinky stuffs.

A lot of people are already inside the venue. The president, Jung Hoseok, finally arrived with his friends. One of them is Min Yoongi, Jimin's boyfriend. They sat comfortably in front of the runway, the best spot to witness the show. Two more seats were unoccupied next to them.

"Where's Namjoon?" Yoongi whispered next to Hoseok's ear.

Hoseok looked around and saw Namjoon going out of the backstage.

"There." He pointed out. "He must've checked his models."

Yoongi nodded. He raised his hand to get the attention of Namjoon which the latter instantly saw.

"Here Joonie!" Yoongi called out. Namjoon waved back at him before joining them, occupying one of the empty seats.

"Hey bros!" Namjoon highfived his friends. They haven't seen each other for a long time because of their busy schedules.

The host started the show. Everyone settled on their seats, anticipating the new collection of clothes and of course, the models.

"This collection is made by the very famous designer Simon Lau, whose name takes over the fashion world...." the host gave some introduction before finally starting the ramp.

Namjoon noticed the vacant seat near them.

"Are we waiting for someone else?" He asked, loud enough for his friends to hear.

Hoseok nodded his head. "Yeah. I invited a friend I met in Japan last week. I don't know if he can attend though."

The cheers of the people got their attention. Models wearing sports apparel are now walking down the runway. The audience don't know whether to focus on the clothing or the models wearing them. Everyone is just an eye candy.

The music changes, signalling that the top 3 models are now going to ramp on the runway, wearing the most expensive ones.

Just when Seokjin was about to go out, one of Hoseok's men approached him and whispered something that made the president stand.

He turned around to see his guest. Yoongi and Namjoon also looked at the direction where he was looking.

"Hey bro! You came!" Hoseok shook the hand of the newly arrived man. "Thought you couldn't make it?"

The guest smiled. "I promised you I will be here. I never break promises Hoseok." He grinned, clearly happy to see his friend.

The two were interrupted by Yoongi who's now staring at him with wide eyes.

"Jungkook?" Yoongi almost ran toward him.

Jungkook's eyes widened as well, "Yoongi!" The two hugged each other. "Bro! Is it really you?" Jungkook asked in amusement.

"You shit! Of course it's me. What the hell Kook! Where have you been hiding you little piece of shit."

If other people will hear them, they will be shocked to know that they are rich billionaires with the way they talk.

"Woah.. you know each other?" Hoseok asked, amazed.

"Hell yes!" The two responded in unison.

"We were friends in college." Jungkook beamed in delight.

"Wow. What a small world. Well, since you already know Yoongi, I will skip his introduction. Jungkook, this is Kim Namjoon, he manages my models as his hobby. He's the owner of BigHit Entertainment. Joonie, this is Jeon Jungkook, the CEO of Jeon Enterprises."

The two greeted each other and shook hands. "So, you mean you're the "Jeon Jungkook"? Namjoon smiled.

"I hope that's something good?" Jungkook joked.

"Yes, of course! I heard a lot about you, the young CEO who built his empire not only here in Korea but also overseas. You're a hot topic bro." Namjoon grinned, showing his cute dimples.

"I am hot." Jungkook grinned as well, making the men laugh.

"Okay, let's continue this after the show, my treat." Hoseok said. "Namjoon, you better get back to your seat 'cause your boyfriend will be coming out now."

"Oh fuck! I almost forgot." Namjoon rushed back to his seat, and so as the others. Jungkook sat next to Yoongi, who's now thinking about how fucked up life is.

Yoongi looked at the runway. The first one who will come out any moment is Seokjin, then his Jimin, and lastly would be Kim Taehyung.

He looked at the person sitting next to him and he cursed in his mind.

Taehyung and Jungkook?

Fuck.

Not a good combination.
