Jungkook walks into work the next morning as tired as he's ever been.

It's 6am and all Jungkook wants to do is go back to sleep. He hasn't been up before the sun since he was in school.

He finds Taehyung in a similar state but he can't tell if he's hungover or just tired.

"Ah. Jungkook." Jin says appearing in the dressing room looking as chipper as ever. "The crew already started moving things in. Could you find something presentable for Tae to arrive in please and thank you. We're loading up in thirty. Got it?"

Jungkook nods. "Yeah. Presentable. Thank you. Thirty."

Jin raises an eyebrow. "Alright. I'll be back with some coffee."

Jungkook drags his feet over to the racks of clothing to find something for Taehyung.

The silverette lays curled up on the sofa with a hood pulled over his head.

"Taehyung." Jungkook says trying to get his attention. "Come on Taehyung. You have to get dressed. Jin says we're leaving in about half an hour."

Taehyung still doesn't budge.

Jungkook sighs and continues to put his outfit together groggily.

Jin returns with two cups of coffee. "He's not up?"

"I tried." The younger says tiredly.

"Alright. Let's go. Come on Tae." Jin says in a loud voice sitting the cups down and clapping his hands.

"Jin." Taehyung groans curling himself into a tighter ball.

"Don't 'Jin' me you brat." The older says sitting on the couch and pulling Taehyung up. "You have to wake up. You don't want to look tired in your photos do you?"

"I am tired." Taehyung complains as Jin shakes him.

"I bought you brought you some coffee." Seokjin says.

"I can't drink coffee." The model says.

Jungkook smiles softly as Taehyung stretches sleepily.

"It's black." The older says standing and pulling him along. "I didn't put any cream or sugar."

Taehyung finally opens his eyes as Jin hands him the cup. "I don't want it."

"Then wake up and get dressed. We're leaving in twenty." Jin says tapping his imaginary watch.

Taehyung rolls his eyes. "I'm going."

"Jungkook. Get him dressed quickly." The older orders exiting the room.

Taehyung groans sitting back on the couch. "It's too fucking early."

Jungkook chuckles. "I take it you're not a morning person?"

Taehyung glares at Jungkook. "No. I'm not."

Jungkook's smile drops. "Alright..Well here you go."

Taehyung stands to get dressed.

"I'm gonna go see if Jin needs me to do anything." Jungkook says.

"Stay. You work for me not Jin." Taehyung says before removing his hoodie.

Jungkook sighs looking down.

"Some people pay to see me half naked and you want to escape the room. I will never understand." The silverette says under his breath as he removes his sweats.

Jungkook rolls his eyes. Who does he think he is? Jungkook has a boyfriend, why would he want to see him half naked?

"I guess I kind of like morning shoots. At least I can eat afterwards instead having to starve all day." Taehyung says continuing to talk to himself.

Jungkook frowns at that. Why would he starve?

"Alright, Jungkook." The model says turning to him. "This is your first actual shoot so I'll just give you some pointers."

Jungkook nods taking his eyes from the ground to look at him.

"There's probably about five or six minutes in between sets. We don't have all day so changes are quick. There's, what, Three sets in this?" Taehyung asks.

"Five." Jungkook corrects.

"Five~fucking hell~ five sets. You can either stay in the dressing room or you can come watch. It doesn't matter to me. Hair and makeup will most likely stay out of the dressing room." Taehyung says as he gathers his things.

Jungkook nods. It couldn't be too hard. I mean it's just clothes.

"If you need anything on set let hair or makeup know." The silverette says gesturing for him to come. "You can learn their names if you want but whatever."

Jungkook loves how Taehyung is now completely business even though just a few minutes ago he was whining about waking up. He grabs his backpack and throws it over his shoulders and follows quickly.

"It's not rocket science. Just stay in your place." Taehyung says as they get on the elevator. "Anyway, questions?"

"No. I got it." Jungkook says making a mental note of everything he's said.

"You'll be fine. Just don't lose your cool if things start to get a bit frustrating?" The model says flicking his hair from his face.

"Why would things get frustrating?" Jungkook asks.

"Because I'm starving and I need a cigarette. And when I get frustrated. Everyone gets frustrated." Taehyung answers as they reach the bottom floor.

"You shouldn't smoke." Jungkook says as they step off the elevator.

"There's a lot of things people do that they shouldn't. That's life." The silverette says. "I can't smoke in company clothes so don't worry I won't be smoking around you."

Taehyung stops Jungkook from turning towards the exit with a firm hand on his waist. Jungkook is a bit taken aback by the sudden action and looks up at him.

"We're going this way. The crew rides with the equipment." Taehyung says leading him along with his hand still on his hip.

"Aren't I the crew?" Jungkook asks.

"Not when you're with me." The silverette says as they approach the black SUV parked in front of the building.

Taehyung opens the door keeping his arm around him, helping him climb into the car.

Jungkook's not sure how he feels about the unnecessary skinship but a part of him wants to push his hand away out of respect for his boyfriend but the other part of him gets goosebumps at Taehyung's hand being on his waist.

Jin sits in the passenger seat to the right of the driver. "We're making great time." He mutters to himself as he goes over the checklist of things he needed to take care of before leaving.

Taehyung buckles his seatbelt before sliding down in his seat and shutting his eyes.

"Don't even think about going to sleep, Taehyung. Photoshop can only do so much for puffy eyes." Jin says.

Taehyung sighs opening his eyes. "Maybe if you people had enough common sense to not schedule a photoshoot at the crack of dawn there'd be no puffy eyes."

"You people,Taehyung? Really? I thought we were pass that." Jin says hardly paying him any mind.

Taehyung rolls his eyes so hard Jungkook's afraid they might actually fall out of his head.

Jungkook's father was a smoker and Jungkook remembers how irritable he was when he quit. He was angry all the time and most of the time his anger was directed to Jungkook.

Taehyung's leg bounces and he chews his lip, which isn't good since he was literally on his way to a photoshoot.

Jungkook gets an idea and reaches into the side pocket of his backpack pulling out a pack of gum.

He holds it out to Taehyung who looks at him like he's crazy.

"It helps with the withdrawal." Jungkook says holding his hand out insistingly.

Taehyung stares for another moment before taking the gum from his hands and taking a piece. "Thanks." He says handing it back.

"No problem." Jungkook says taking it and shoving it back in his bag.

The driver starts the car after another five minutes and they head to the set.
