ATEEZ w/ MakeupArtist!Reader Pt. 3 (Hongjoong)
“Hongjoong!”
“Coming!” An assertive, authoritative voice boomed from the across the room. In comes the man himself,
“Hongjoong. We got some work to do.” You showed him his seat like a gameshow host and laughed as he chuckled with you and sat down.
You were about to apply the base onto his face when you notice the same thing that keeps you constantly worried about him. Seeing you look disappointed, Hongjoong furrowed his eyebrows in confusion,”What’s wrong, Y/N?”
“Your dark circles.”
Only a few words left your mouth, but the message was clear and he knows it.
“I know, I know, it looks bad, but I was just working on some stuff, okay?”
You sighed heavily,” Yeah, but ‘some stuff’ does not cause this much poor circulation in your eyeballs, Joong.”
He lowkey hates when you call him by his nickname when you’re upset. Because he knows its you being half angry and half pleading, and it ain’t a pretty combination.
Hongjoong grimaced as you add more concealer to his under eye until the dark circles were no longer visible enough to be seen on camera or from a certain distance,
“Sorry, Y/N. I know how much you worry about it.” He looked at you apologetically
You softened your expression and jokingly agreed,”You’re damn right I am.” The both of you laughed lightheartedly before you continued,
“I just want you to keep your health in check. Sleep is a very important factor in your success.”
Hongjoong butted in,” You sound like my mom.”
You stuck your tongue out,” YOu SoUNd liKe MY moM” making him laugh again. You smiled at the sight of him laughing before continuing,
“Just promise me at least you’ll try to take care of yourself more?” It was more of a question than an order when you said it because it was a more likely chance that he’s not gonna listen to you all the way.
Hongjoong nodded deeply, eyes full of compassion,”Yes Y/N, wouldn’t want our beloved makeup artist to have more work to do on my face.”
You agreed a little too quickly on it, nodding your head quite sarcastically, causing Hongjoong to open his mouth agape in fake shock,“Hey!”
Laughing again, you began to put the finishing touches on his face. You remember being so intimidated by him when you first met him. It was so weird looking back on it at that moment, since he’s absolutely nothing like you thought he was; arrogant, pompous and rude. Maybe it was brought from the stage presence he has on stage. Nevertheless, you were scared to even say anything to him in fear he would shut you off. Instead, he’s shown nothing but kindness and utter vulnerability that you rarely see in people of his field. You just want to take care of him, and the feeling is mutual. He once brought a chocolate muffin and coffee for you one day at work and you haven’t forgotten about it since.
Spraying the finishing spray on him, you told Hongjoong,”Remember, at least 6 hours of sleep in total everyday, okay?”
“Yes ma’am” He saluted with his eyes closed from the spray still wet on his face, before turning to leave the room.
Suddenly, a slightly croaky high-pitched voice spoke at the door,”Is it my turn yet?”
You smiled,”Perfect timing, Wooyoung. Come sit, let’s get started.”
