9 - Renegade X I Was Never There
"Couple Photoshoot?" Seungcheol held the bouquet sent by a super famous magazine network, Sin Tacha (translates to Flawless).
"Yeah." Hana nodded, "With Mr. Yoon. For next month's issue."
It was when Seungkwan walked into the room, "Hyung, you got the information about the photoshoot right?"
"Yeah." Seungcheol nodded, "Just now."
"Okay so I've mailed you the schedule." Seungkwan explained, "I've also cued the staff who will go with you and they already know about it. I'll talk to Jeonghan hyung about the same."
"Excuse me sir." Hana intervened, "I didn't get any mail."
"Yeah you don't need to go." Seungkwan retorted, "The main head of BSK's modeling department is already invited by them, to help so it's fine."
"Sir, but I'm his manager." Hana reasoned.
"I know that Miss Kim." Seungkwan stared her for a while, "And I also know how to organise the management. When I said you don't need to go, the discussion is over."
"Sorry sir."
"Alright." Seungkwan looked at Seungcheol, "Anyways hyung, all the best. It's your first photoshoot with Jeonghan hyung and of course he isn't experienced in this field so please help him get over the nervousness."
"Yeah don't worry Seungkwan." The older assured after which the CEO left. Hana was also summoned for some work.
Seungcheol decided to call Jeonghan and ask him if he got the news. He dialed his number which was picked up after a while, "Hello Jeonghan? Did you get the invitation letter, mail and other stuff?"
"I did." Jeonghan sighed, "What is this? Photoshoot? And that too for a magazine's cover? Seungcheol, I can't do this. I don't know shit about photoshoots and whatever."
"It's okay Jeonghan, I'll help you." Seungcheol assured.
"Yeah please do." Jeonghan scoffed heavily, "Ask them to click your pictures alone because I definitely can't do this."
"Jeonghan, we can't deny this."
"Why? Are they going to force us?"
"Do I really need to explain this to a successful businessman? You can't turn them down Jeonghan. Plus, I'll be there for you, don't worry."
"Yeah, you'll raise my worries even more."
"Do I make you uncomfortable?"
"No- uh- I didn't mean it like that. Uh- okay I'll come."
"Good."
And hence, they day arrived when Jeonghan just wanted to jump off a cliff or something. But here he was, in the HQ of the company which had called them for the photoshoot.
Jeonghan and Seungcheol got into the elevator followed by two guards who stood on front of them.
As soon as the elevator's door was going top close, someone put an object between the doors to which it opened revealing a man whose shirt had a tag of lighting staff.
The man bowed two them, "Oh I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were in the elevator." He bowed again and began to leave.
Seungcheol halted him, "What happened?"
"Nothing sir, actually the elevator for staff members is broken so we got permission to use the one for artists." The man explained, "Sorry, we don't have much time. We have to reach the shooting hall really soon."
"Then come in?" Seungcheol offered, "We've much space here."
"Thank you sir but I've a few people along with me and some stuff for the set too." The man replied, "We don't want to bother you both."
"No it's fine." Jeonghan intervened, "Please come in."
"Sure?"
"Yeah sure."
The man gestured to his fellow members to join and soon the previously empty elevator was stuffed with the maximum limit allowed.
The elevator's doors closed and the people began to adjust in the space after thanking the celebrity couple.
A staff member was almost going to bump into Jeonghan. Before he could do anything, Seungcheol's hand guarded him.
The staff member mumbled a little sorry, earning a polite response from the duo.
Seungcheol decided to stand in front of Jeonghan to keep him separate from others.
Jeonghan gasped internally as his face was too close to the older.
"Thank you." Jeonghan mumbled after which he looked up, down and everywhere except for Seungcheol who was probably staring into his soul.
In his defence, Seungcheol had an excuse that no one would look away if a flustered Yoon Jeonghan was standing in front of them.
Seungcheol chuckled subtly as he enjoyed the scene of the younger having a hard time in front of him.
Soon enough, the little torture for Jeonghan came to an end when the elevator doors opened for their desired floor.
The guards led them towards the required hall.
They were met with a considerable amount of staff who greeted them politely and the couple retorted the gesture.
"Oh hello Miss Susan and Mr. Park, nice to see you after a long time." Seungcheol seemed to recognise the said two people.
Jeonghan looked a bit hesitant but anyways greeted the two who supposedly were the bosses or the leaders for the photoshoot.
"Nice to meet you Mr. Yoon, I'm Ye Shuhua but people call me Susan." The gorgeous lady greeted, "I'm the director for this photoshoot."
"And I'm Park Sunghoon, your lead photographer for today." The male with extraordinary and well defined features bowed.
"Nice to meet you all, I'm Yoon Jeonghan, CEO of Rose Quartz." Jeonghan bowed back.
"As far as I know, this is your first time at a photoshoot right?" Shuhua looked at Jeonghan, "Don't worry, Mr. Yoon, we'll take good care of you."
"Thank you." Jeonghan chuckled.
"Let's get going." Sunghoon clapped his hands, "They'll show you the way to the changing room. Please get ready for the first shot."
After a while, Seungcheol was done with the final touch up as he stood up from his seat. He decided to visit Jeonghan's room as he knew that the younger was a bit nervous for the photoshoot. Plus he wasn't very good with people surrounding him.
He walked through the small distance as he stepped into the room. He didn't find Jeonghan on the seat but the staff assigned to him were standing there with slight worries on their faces.
"What happened? Is he ready?" Seungcheol asked.
"Almost sir." The hair dresser replied, "I think he's a bit uncomfortable. His hairs are left to be done. Although he isn't saying anything but I can sense the way he's retracting himself from us. He's currently attending a phone call."
Seungcheol thought for a while, "Okay you guys can leave."
"But he's not completely ready yet." The other staff member reasoned.
"Don't worry, I'll help him." Seungcheol assured, "You don't know him but know me right? Trust me."
"Of course sir, thank you." The staff complied with the idol's demand.
It was when Jeonghan returned, "Oh, you're ready? You look really good."
Meanwhile Seungcheol was lost in the younger's charms but came back to his senses when Jeonghan addressed him, "Yeah, thank you. You look- stunning."
Hold it back Seungcheol.
He quickly cleared his throat, "Sit."
"What?"
"Yeah sit down, let me do your hairs." Seungcheol stated casually.
"You will do it? Where are they?" Jeonghan referred to the staff.
"I asked them to leave." Seungcheol explained, "Even they sensed your discomfort, I'm sorry you have to do all this because of me."
"It's alright." Jeonghan sat down on the chair as he stared into the mirror. He was still nervous but he tried to hide it as much as possible.
Seungcheol approached him and held his shoulders while standing beside him, "Take a deep breath. Tell yourself that it's fine and trust me, I'm here okay? You don't need to worry about anything Jeonghan."
Jeonghan just nodded. Just a few minutes ago, the presence of the staff was suffocating him. But now the older was making him feel weirdly safe. Probably because he was the only one he knew?
Whatever.
"Now tell me, what style do you want." Seungcheol bent down a bit to get the hair spray and comb. His metal chain grazed over Jeonghan's shoulders as he felt the older's strong scent.
"Anything that you think would look good on me." Jeonghan blurted out, "I mean on my look."
You look good in anything. Seungcheol thought, "Okay fine, I'll do it."
Seungcheol adjusted the younger's head to begin his work. After a few minutes, he sighed in relief as he stared into the mirror, "How's it?"
"I like it." Jeonghan chuckled, "Thank- uh shit." He held his left eye as he felt something itching the sensitive organ.
"What happened?" Seungcheol abandoned whatever he was holding as he assisted Jeonghan to forcefully open his eyes and he found a small hair strand in it, "Wait wait, stay still."
He grabbed a tissue and gently cleaned the younger's eye, "Yeah, is it fine now?"
Jeonghan blinked multiple times, "I think so. Thank you."
"It's alright, are you ready to go?" Seungcheol asked.
"Yeah let's go, there's no point in wasting any more time." Jeonghan scoffed as the couple walked towards the hall where the shooting was to be done.
"Oh my, you guys look so cool." Shuhua complimented, "I understand why people are down for you both."
"Yeah, let's begin the shoot now." Sunghoon picked up his professional camera.
"We've this sofa for the first shot." Shuhua showed it, "Go, use it."
Jeonghan internally rolled his eyes. As a businessman, he was just rethinking his life decisions. What was he even doing?
Both of them walked towards the said prop and casually sat over it.
Shuhua scrunched her brows, "I can't say anything to Mr. Yoon but Mr. Choi, is this the way you're going to pose for a photoshoot?"
"I have never done a couple shoot either." Seungcheol protested, "Even, I don't know what to do."
"Get domestic?" Sunghoon intervened, "Act like you're at home."
'At home?' Jeonghan thought, 'You don't want to see us argue like five year olds.'
"That was not helpful at all." Seungcheol voiced out.
"Fine, hear me out." Shuhua stood up, "First of all, Mr. Choi, sit like it's your solo shoot. And Mr. Yoon, please stand behind him."
They followed their director keenly.
"Now, Mr. Yoon, lay your hands over his shoulder." Shuhua proceeded.
'Someone, please save me.' Jeonghan cursed internally as he unwillingly followed.
While he was struggling to place his hand correctly, Seungcheol held his wrists and fixed them, "Rookie problems, I understand."
"I want to choke you to death right now." Jeonghan whispered, "This is the best chance."
"I'll love to see you try." Seungcheol chuckled subtly, "Darling."
"Shut up."
Keep your eyes on mine
And if you want, I'll tell you lies
Tell you I'm yours for life
"Shut up?" Seungcheol subtly caressed Jeonghan's hands, "Aren't you loving it?"
Jeonghan slowly inched closer to Seungcheol's ears and whispered, "What about you though? Aren't you grabbing your chance to hold me?"
"I don't need a chance to do anything to you." Seungcheol grinned, "I can do it anywhere, anytime, anyhow."
"I wonder what you're talking about." Jeonghan mocked.
"You don't want to know." Seungcheol muttered.
While they had their nonsense talk, Sunghoon captured the best shots of the blazing chemistry.
"They're cool." Shuhua complimented, "Okay, cut."
"Mr. Yoon, you can sit beside him now." Sunghoon nodded as he indulged with Shuhua to review the shots.
"You're the best, Sunghoon!" Shuhua chuckled as he turned towards the couple, "So now, we gave you an example. Now you've 10 minutes to think about the next pose while we're reviewing this."
"What pose do you want?" Seungcheol looked at the younger.
"Is there a pose where I can kill you or something?" Jeonghan scoffed.
"I don't think so?" Seungcheol grinned.
"Don't you dare laugh right now." Jeonghan whined, "How am I supposed to pose or whatsoever? I've never did this shit in my entire life-span. This is so annoying."
"Calm down Jeonghan-"
"You think of what to do, I'll just follow along." Jeonghan sighed.
"Mr. Yoon, you've a call." A staff member informed.
"Excuse me." Jeonghan mumbled as he left to attend the call he had been waiting for. He picked it up within privacy, "Yeah?"
"Sir, I got her permanent address. It's different from what she has mentioned in her CV."
"Knew it." Jeonghan clenched his jaw.
"Do you want me to investigate further? She lives alone."
"Not now. I'll tell you when to proceed." Jeonghan ordered, "For now, keep it to yourself and keep following her."
He hung up the call and returned to the shoot where everyone was waiting for him.
He bowed slightly, "I'm sorry but it was important."
"It's okay, we understand." Shuhua smiled.
Jeonghan sat beside the older. Seungcheol immediately wrapped his hand around his shoulder, declaring the next pose.
"Come closer, will you?" Seungcheol mumbled slowly as his arms slipped down to the younger's waist.
"As if I've a choice." Jeonghan shifted to get close to his supposed to be husband. He placed his hand on the older's thigh as he refused to look at his direction.
"Yeah, you're stuck with me for a while." Seungcheol retorted, "Not my problem though."
"I wish you were a bit less annoying."
"Says the one who talked about killing me twice."
Unwillingly and unknowingly, they were doing great as a couple. Everyone around them were just swooning over how perfect they looked together.
"I don't want to stop clicking their pictures." Sunghoon proudly chuckled, "They're stunning."
"You're doing great." Shuhua genuinely admired, "Okay, cut."
"You guys can change to the next costume." Sunghoon informed, as both of them left along with the guards and staff.
"Okay we'll take the side profiles in consideration while keeping the couple vibes alive." Shuhua clapped, "So okay, get into the position."
Seungcheol asked Jeonghan for his consent through his eyes to which the younger nodded. Seungcheol grabbed the younger's waist while Jeonghan placed his hand on his shoulders.
They stared at each other as their hot breaths tickled their faces. They were almost lost within one another's gaze when Shuhua called, "Guys, get a bit closer."
"We don't have to click pictures of them kissing." Sunghoon squinted his brows.
"I know." Shuhua nodded with a small laugh, "Just get as close as you can without kissing."
Both of them said a small yes as their faces inched closer. It was as even if one of them would move accidentally, their lips might touch each other.
"If it's uncomfortable, you can tell me." Seungcheol mumbled for only the younger to hear him
"It's fine." Jeonghan shrugged.
"Why are you always fine with everything?" Seungcheol pointed out his regular answer to every question, "Will it still be okay if I get rid of even this small distance between us?"
"If it's bothering you so much, then do it." Jeonghan's eyes held the sharp spark, "Let's see what you've got Mr. Choi."
"Don't challenge me." Seungcheol tightened his grip on Jeonghan's waist, "It's you who will regret it later."
"Which means, you'll not?" Jeonghan grinned, "Didn't you say you don't want anything between us?"
"Well, I can kiss you for this little challenge of yours." Seungcheol paused to pass a mocking chuckle, "Just like you did for a pathetic dare. Even, I don't care about your or my feelings anymore, just like you never did."
Now I know what love is
And I know it ain't you for sure
You'd rather something toxic
So, I'll poison myself again
'Til I feel nothing
"Stop bringing it up every time Seungcheol." Jeonghan's jaw clenched.
"I wasn't." Seungcheol moved his arm on the younger's waist, "It was just an example that suddenly came to my mind."
"Okay cut!" Shuhua's voice echoed and both the males immediately parted away, "Well, I don't know what you guys were talking and whispering about but your chemistry was amazing."
"I told you." Sunghoon proudly smiled while admiring the masterpieces he had captured, "Let them be. Their natural chemistry is much better than the one we'll force over them."
"Okay everyone!" Shuhua stood up, "Wrap up, we're done!"
Jeonghan sighed in relief as he genuinely wanted to go back home. Everything was just suffocating him now.
