"Jeongguk, please look upwards unless you want concealer in your eye before your games," Taehyung warns before gently dabbing the brush in an upside down triangle underneath Jeongguk's eyes.
"I'm a gamer, not an idol. Why the fuck do I have to wear make-up?" Jeongguk grumbles and yelps when Seokjin jabs him in the neck with a finger for swearing.
"Because you want to look good for the cameras and all the female fans out there who want to get in your pants," Jimin teases and moves his hands like he's shooting two guns at Jeongguk.
"Jimin, stop making fun of Jeongguk. You should be warming up. We wouldn't want you to whiff another Annie ultimate," Namjoon chides and smacks the top of Jimin's head with his notebook.
"He flashed, okay. It's not like I purposefully missed my ultimate," Jimin whines but turns back to the desktop behind him to queue up for another ranked game. There's a little over an hour left until their first game against EXO, he should be able to squeeze in one game.
While Namjoon goes through their picks and bans strategies, Taehyung carefully applies brown eyeliner on Jeongguk's upper waterline. "What do you think are the chances of us winning this best out of five?" Jeongguk whispers and Taehyung moves out of Jeongguk's personal space to put away his make-up supplies. Jeongguk suppressed the urge to reach out and tug him back.
"That's a dumb question to ask me, Jeongguk. You guys haven't dropped a single game this Worlds. Why are you suddenly so nervous?" Taehyung laughs and runs his hand through Jeongguk's hair to make sure it's perfectly styled. "I miss your red hair. It reminds me of Annie."
"Why Annie out of all the red-heads in League? Why can't I be the sexy Miss Fortune or Katarina?" Jeongguk pouts and smacks Taehyung when he just laughs.
"Because you're a child! Look at that pout!"
Jeongguk grumbles and kicks Taehyung in the shin, all nervousness that occupied his mind for the past two days disappearing.
"Feeling better now?" Taehyung asks and flashes his signature smile when the latter nods. "Jeongguk and I are going to buy some drinks. You guys want anything?"
After getting a list of what the other team members want, Taehyung grabs hold of Jeongguk's wrist and drags the confused younger boy out the practice room. "I need help bringing the drinks back," Taehyung mumbles.
They walk in comfortable silence as they make a couple of turns and suddenly, Taehyung opens a door to an empty room and slams Jeongguk against the closing door. A pair of lips are pressed against Jeongguk's before he can register what is going on and feels Taehyung's hands cupping his face.
"I wanted to do that for so long now," Taehyung breathes against Jeongguk's lips and gives him a quick peck. "That's my way of cheering you on before your games. Hope you like it."
"Not enough," Jeongguk manages to mutter before curling his hand around Taehyung's nape the pull the latter in for another kiss.
They stay in that position, lips moving against each other, enjoying each other's presence until Taehyung reluctantly pulls away and kisses Jeongguk's temple. "We should grab those drinks for the boys and go back. Your games are about to start. I know you'll do great," Taehyung says, breathless from their kissing.
"Do I get a reward if I win these games?" Jeongguk response cheekily and earns himself a smack to the butt.
"Yeah, going to the finals," Taehyung replies and laughs when Jeongguk whines and wraps his arms around Taehyung's waist. He makes a mental note to make Taehyung eat more.
"I want a reward more personal, from you," Jeongguk suggests and presses a kiss against Taehyung's neck. "Preferably receiving it sometime tonight."
"I'll think about it," Taehyung chuckles and pushes the younger away to open the door. "Only if you behave and carry so your Faker senpai will notice you."
He quickly sprints off when he hears Jeongguk shouting, "he is not my senpai!"
