The art of you
Description
Tiffany is an artist, one of the most successful artists of all. She's a perfectionist both in her work, and in her workplace, her paintings are exquisite and she rarely releases artworks of people, but when she does, she only releases artworks of her childhood friend and model Seohyun.
This sparks rumours that Tiffany and Seohyun are dating when they aren't, but Seohyun doesn't mind, and Tiffany doesn't bother responding to the stupid rumours anyway and just accepts them.
After the previous assistant 'quit', Taeyeon manages to land a temporary job of being an assistant to Tiffany, and she tries her best not to interrupt her time with Seohyun, believing the rumours wholeheartedly. She's clumsy though, which gets on Tiffany's nerves, but she needs another assistant and decides to put up with it for a week before finding another.
Maybe another week.
And another.
Foreword
"How much longer do I need to stay this way?" Seohyun asked through clenched teeth, already sitting still for nearly two hours, the numbness spreading in her legs.
"This isn't your first time, not your second time, not your tenth time, you know very well how much longer," Tiffany replied, focusing heavily on painting, constantly looking back and forth between her and the canvas.
"Could you not find another model to do this? This is probably why those stupid rumours began in the first place."
"Come on, we're best friends, aren't we? It's not like you don't get paid for your services, besides, as you said, they're just stupid rumours. Now just hold on, you can take a break when the new guy gets here."
"Ah, of course, your new assistant. How did you manage to go through seven different assistants in two months?" Seohyun asked, suppressing the instinct to raise an eyebrow and smirk, something she knows would annoy Tiffany to no end.
"Incompetency, I just need the new assistant for one week to help out. I have an upcoming exhibition, remember? If only that last one didn't quit, but he did, so I have to just put up with the new one for one week and I can say goodbye to her," Tiffany said, suddenly hearing a loud crash behind her as she whipped her head around, Seohyun barely moving, already used to staying still.
"I–I'm sorry!" A voice said, her figure hunched over picking up a metal container along with the pencils it contained, putting it back on the desk, "I'm Taeyeon, the new assistant? I'm a huge fan!"
"Are you always this clumsy?" Tiffany asked, mildly pissed that her workplace had already gotten messy the moment she arrived.
"No, not at all," Taeyeon replied, swinging her arm around as evidence, immediately knocking the same metal container over, the same crash echoing through her studio again.
"Oh my ing god," Tiffany mumbled under her breath, wanting to pinch her nose bridge if her hands weren't full, her brows furrowed.
"Oh, this is great. The perfectionist Tiffany having a clumsy assistant," Seohyun whispered in a mocking tone, "This is karma for making me sit here for two hours."
"Please, shut up."
