Same Difference (BTS)

06: Runway

"Guys?" Hazel asked, opening her eyes.

Soo Ah nodded. "Yes guys. Idols wear makeup here in Korea." She said, laughing. Idols. Soo Ah was a makeup stylist for idols. "I work for a few companies, but mainly one for idols-"

"I need to model for Ms. Bae."

Soo Ah gasped. "Crap that's you." Hazel looked up at Soo Ah, surprised. "Okay, Piper and I will be front and center, okay? Just look at us if you get nervous." She said, patting Hazel's shoulders. "And don't panic." She said, turning and hurrying away from the makeup tables and leaving Hazel to the hands of the stage director.

The woman who had demanded Ms. Bae's model grabbed Hazel's arm and tore her towards the stage. "You're not who I remember from the rehearsal." She said lightly, pushing Hazel towards a short staircase.

The staircase led to a lot of bright lights and flashing cameras. Hazel's stomach flipped, and she wasn't sure she wanted to step foot onto the staircase. But the stage director pushed her up the steps and towards the stage.

So Hazel took a deep breath, composed herself, and stepped out onto the runway. There were a few gasps as the amazingly tail dragged behind Hazel on the stage, and the flashes increased. She could hear a few people repeating her name, which she wasn't sure how they would know, but didn't stop walking to ask.

Her stomach was going crazy, but her eyes landed on Piper. She was sitting alone at the far end of the stage. Where was Soo Ah?

Suddenly, there was a bit of pressure on the back of Hazel's skirt, and she could hear the fabric tearing. All at once, the skirt of her dress had disappeared, and she was left standing in a cocktail dress she hadn't even realized was beneath the skirt. A round of gasps had filled the area, and Hazel realized she was more stunned then the audience.

When she had put the dress on, she figured it was to form her figure to the dress, not a second part. This dress was short, maybe mid thigh, probably shorter, and just like the top, the dress looked like black bandages, but they sparkled incredibly in the light, and Hazel, surprised, came to a stop at the end of the runway. Before things got awkward, her eyes fell on Soo Ah, who was standing just in front of her, far back enough that none of the audience could see her, and she made an incredibly wide gesture as she put her hands on her hips and swing them from side to side.

Hazel bit her lip and put on hand on her hip, posing with that hip out, and the crowd clapped. Soo Ah nodded in approval. She did a turn, flipping her hair over her shoulder, and walked back to the back of the runway, which was cloaked by her skirt. She stopped before going down the stairs to pose one more time, and received another round of claps before she descended the stairs.

Was that really it? She was only on the runway for five seconds. All the prepping, and primping, for five seconds?

"Hazel!" A voice called, one Hazel didn't recognize. "Hazel Jayne!" Her head snapped in the direction of the voice, and she noticed a man standing not too far away, wearing a tuxedo, staring at her. "My god it is you. How the hell did Soo Ah get you to model for her?"
