Chapter Five 

Seokjin settled down infront of Taehyung. The older wants to see Seokjin saying that he has something for both his cousin and the younger.

"You're so busy these days, Seokjin." Taehyung said.

He's actually aware as to how it is so hard for Seokjin to go on in a day knowing that he cant even get the right amount of sleep that he needed because of the amount of job that he has just to support not only their everyday expenses but also Jungkook's dreams.

"Are you still studying?" Taehyung asked raising his brows at the younger.

He really admires Seokjin. He adore the love that the younger has for his cousin- how he's more than willing to sacrifice all of the things that he has even the comfort of living in his own without any responsibilities just for Jungkook.

Though, Taehyung is actually worried because he could see how exhausted Seokjin is and how he always looks like he is seconds away from passing out. Damn! He doesn't even know if Seokjin is even eating because of how skinny he looks right now.

"I am still fine, Tae." Seokjin smiled.

He knows exactly what Taehyung means by that. All of his friends wants nothing but for Seokjin to wake up and see how much he's sacrificing even his future all for his boyfriend.

Seokjin couldn't see any of that. He's working extra harder and he couldn't see it as sacrificing his future knowing that all of this will make his boyfriend happy and that is already his happiness- seeing Jungkook living in his dreams.

"I have a lot of art materials given by the models," Taehyung protruded his lips, "They gave it to me as a gift but I wont use it anyway so just get it." He shrugged his shoulders.

Of course all of it was just a lie. The models that works under his company never gave him art materials as a gift. It is always expensive clothes, watches and shoes from other country even of them are made customized just to please him- no one will dare give him an art material as a gift.

Seokjin knows that by now, he knows that all of that was just an excuse as Taehyung knows that they wont accept it if its from him. Seokjin first believe that it is really given by Taehyung and his friend is kind enough to give it to them to put it in a good use.

Though, Taehyung keeps on calling him saying that he has an art material given to him as a gift once again. Of course, Seokjin is very hesitant to just accept all of it but in the end he accepted it as Taehyung keeps on insisting that it is not even from him. Also, it will be a big help for Jungkook.

That's how important Jungkook is for Seokjin, that is how his love reflects on everything that he does- he can swallow his pride all for his boyfriend, he can even do anything just so Jungkook could live his dreams and do his passion.

"Jin..."

Seokjin looks at his friend with his eyes desperately trying to be closed as he wants nothing but to sleep already but he cant since he still have to go to his second job for today- waiter in a fastfood chain.

"One of our talent scout saw you last week infront of the building without knowing that we are friends," Taehyung comfortably leaned against his swivel chair, "He said that you're perfect for our new project. What do you think?" He asked.

Taehyung is not even surprised how Seokjin managed to caught the attentions of one of their employees considering how beautiful the younger is, the boards really wants Seokjin to represent their company as they have a contract with one of the most famous cosmetic brand.

Seokjin's eyes widened in surprised shaking his head a little bit knowing that his friend is just joking.

There is no way that someone would notice him. He always looks at himself in the mirror and he himself can see how much he changed over the past years, the dark circle under his eyes and the tired look on his face never seems to go away, he looks ugly.

"Stop kidding me, Tae."

Taehyung dramatically rolled his eyes running his fingers through his hair before looking at his younger friend once again.

"Im saying the truth, Seokjin. C'mon, go meet the boards with me and let's talk about it. This is your chance." Taehyung smiled hoping that it would encourage his friend.

He knows that by the beauty Seokjin held, he definitely has a place in this industry. He knows that Seokjin badly wants to be an educator but he could do that while being a model.

Taehyung knows that Seokjin only needs a one big break which is this photoshoot and he will make it big already. The innocent but prominent features that he has will make all the products chase after him just so he could endorse it knowing that the public couldn't resist such a beauty.

"I cant though." Seokjin let out a deep sigh.

That job requires a lot more time and that means he needs to invest more to himself as that what his job requires him to do, he needs to look good infront of everyone.

He probably couldn't meet the expectation that will be given for him as he is too busy to think of all of that. He has a lot of job and he couldn't be even more busier. Jungkook needs someone right now especially that his exhibit is just a few weeks away.

"Im going to be a lot more busy, Tae." Seokjin said shaking his head no.

Taehyung took in a deep breathe shutting his eyes closed trying to calm his nerves to prevent himself for just snapping at his friend right in the moment.

He knows the reason as to why Seokjin cant accept such an opportunity. It's because of Jungkook, always because of the same person.

Taehyung shook his head and looked at Seokjin dead in the eye. "You are unbelievable." He said under his breathe.

He smirked as he clenched his fist feeling the irritation bottling in the pit of his stomach. He couldn't understand it. Why? He can clearly see how tired Seokjin is with whatever is going on in his life, the responsibility and the demands of life is probably all too much because he's the only one carrying it.

Why? Why is he always willing to let the big chances slipped away from his hands just like that all just for one person?

"You are too busy giving someone what he needs just so he could achieve his dreams, Seokjin," Taehyung smirked, "You're too busy giving all of you for his dreams, you cant even chase yours." He said in disbelief.
