Stephen stood at a corner as he watched the ongoing photo shoot. He had come by the studio after his meeting just to take a look but ended up staying longer than intended. Ah, pretty. So pretty. That one totally looks good on her. He thought and nodded in approval. A few more shots and the photographer announced for a short break which caused him to straighten up when Taeyeon caught him staring at her. 

“Sir, would you like some coffee?” He was startled when Wendy came up to him with a cup of coffee in hand. 

“Ah, sure. Thanks.” He smiled and gladly took the cup.

“No problem.” She bowed and scurried away to the fitting room.

Stephen sighed in relief and sipped his coffee before turning towards the petite girl but she was already gone. He sighed again, disappointedly, and turned around to get his things but was greeted with the sight of Taeyeon grinning at him instead. “Oh god! I almost spilled the coffee to one of our precious dresses.”

Taeyeon chuckled at the young man’s reaction and took a step away to create a distance. “I’m sorry to scare you.”

More things to do at the studio.” He smiled apologetically when he saw her disappointed look. “I’ll be going now. I’ll see you around.” He waved goodbye before walking away.
