Stranger

AS PROMISED, TAEHYUNG WAITED for the unknown guest arrival to his house. He still hadn't known who Jimin was; except he only knew that he was a model. A male model. He was very curious why he really wanted him to be his photographer. It was only the females who would argue to have him as their photographer but knowing that a male— being demanding to have him, made him extra curious.

It was 9:40 in the morning, so basically he still had some more time while waiting for the unknown guest. He decided to go to his room for a while to grab something and when he walked pass his bed, he suddenly looked at the sword that was in his room.

He stopped and looked at it. It was an old sword that someone older— or may he address him as his— dad? He gave it to him. He folded his fist before looking away in full of anger.

"I have no family." He said to himself before walking away.

9:55 a.m.

He heard a knock on his door instead of a ringing bell. This person is kinda classic, he thought. He casually walked to the main door and held the doorknob. Before opening the door to welcome the guest, he could kinda feel the aura of his unknown guest. He could smell a strong scent of mint that gave him a hint of confidence, classy and passion. He breathed before opening the door.

Once the door was opened, he saw a man in a skinny black jeans, black expensive shirt and a black beret. He also had a sunglasses and mask on. His vibes radiated the classy and rich vibes.

Since Taehyung could barely see his face, he folded his arms and looked at him from head to toe. "Open your mask. Show me your face. I can't just let a stranger to come into my house." He went straight to the point as always.

He was expecting something else from the man in black. But instead of receiving a positive response, he heard a scoff and he also received eyes roll from him. By that, Taehyung felt triggered.

"Stranger, said you." Taehyung could see him smirking underneath the mask. "Are you sure of that, Photographer Kim?" He asked mockingly before pulling down his mask. Eyes were sharp and fierce— they were looking deep into Taehyung's eyes.

Taehyung gasped in disbelief. "Aw, you look surprised. Just like how I imagined." Jimin grinned in satisfaction.

The director of the modelling company where Sooyun and Taehyung worked was sitting on his chair peacefully while enjoying his afternoon coffee. Suddenly, his phone beeped.

He just glanced at it at first, without having any intention to know who just texted him. A few minutes later, he received another two texts from the same person.

So he decided to read the text.

Text received from *****

I want you to do something for me. This is not a question but an order. I don't want you to say no.

After reading the text, he had no other choice except to sigh in annoyance and desperation. "Oh God. Why do I have to deal with this?" He complained softly while rubbing his own forehead.

Taehyung

It felt like a dream, a nightmare. The worst nightmare to be more precise. He was looking into my eyes with the smirk he always had— he looked so mischievous, devilish and bitter. He was a clone of the devil, if I could say.

Just by looking into his eyes without saying anything was enough to make me stumble to the back, I found it hard to breathe all of the sudden. His gaze— was still the same. Fierce, as if there was flames in his eyes.

By the way he looked at me, I could say that he was enjoying his moment seeing me like this. I took two steps back. I hated to do this, it made me look like a coward. But I was too shocked by his sudden appearance.

With his arms crossed firmly, he took a step forward and began to speak. "You look surprised, hm?" He mocked me. "Why? Do you miss me?" He laughed sarcastically as I clenched my jaw.

"Why are you here?" It was the only thing I could think of to ask him. He stopped laughing and looked at me again. "You're not supposed to be here." I added, but my voice was low. I could feel the anxious feelings. My heart was beating so fast.

Slightly titling his head to his side, "Why? You're not happy to see me?" He asked. "Come on. Its been a while, Taehyung." He tried to pat my shoulder but I stopped him.

"No. Don't touch me."

I knew he already expected how I would react. I saw the way he scoff with a smirk on his face. "You not just refused to be my photographer. But you also don't let me touch you." He folded his arms then straightened his back. I avoided his gaze. Yes, I hated acting like this, I looked like a real coward. But I was too surprised to see him.

Unfortunately, he next thing he said forced me to look at him. "But I heard you offered yourself to be someone's personal photographer." He poked his inner cheek using his tongue, knowing that I was looking at him. "Bae Sooyun, right?"

I clenched my fists.

"Aw, you look mad." He smiled devilishly. "Don't worry, I'm not even interested in her. It's okay, she won't fall for me. I won't steal your girl."

"Shut up or I'll cut your tongue," I hissed.

"Ow. You're mad now?" He chuckled. "Then accept my offer. Be my photographer. That's all I ask," he shrugged his shoulders while trying to get into my house but I blocked him from stepping further. He looked at me, "What's with this attitude?" He asked.

He had always say that. Since forever.

I clenched my jaw in anger but I still managed to hold it. "No. I will never accept your offer, unless I lost my sanity," I gritted my teeth.

He knew exactly that I was mad. "You sure?" He asked, but I didn't answer him. "Fine. But don't regret."

That was the last thing he said to me before walking away with a sly smirk. The devilish smirk he always had.

Sooyun

I was at a clothes store to shop some new trendy clothes, alone. I had always find shopping alone is very therapeutic. I could ease a lot of my stress.

As I was choosing some good clothes, I got a notification from the director. Knowing that it was important, I quickly opened his text.

Director

Remember the Gucci photoshoot session? We're going to start the photoshoot next week. And you have to do the photoshoot with a partner. I have found you one.

A partner? No one mentioned about partners before.

Sooyun
sent 11:36 a.m
Sure, thank you for the information.

I shoved my phone into my bag back before sighing. "It's okay then, I will still do my best." I said to myself before continuing choosing the clothes.
