"Welcome, Soo-ah yang! Come this way first!" smiled the Teen Magazine photographer and led me to the first shooting base.

Like many other magazine shoots, this Teen Magazine shoot has several bases where the pictures are taken.

My hair, outfit, and make-up were all already done and I was ready to shoot.

As we walked closer to the base, there was a guy already there...

He was pretty tall, about two inches taller than me, and had the biggest eyes I've ever seen.

He must be my shooting partner.

"Kim Soo-ah yang, this is Choi Minho-gun. He will be your shooting partner for this project. Both of you are the mains for this upcoming month's edition of Teen Magazine!" said the photographer and introduced us two.

"Hello." he bowed.

"Hello." I bowed back.

"..."

Okay... I guess we're both not that talkative.

Suddenly, a girl came bouncing into the shooting studio.

"Soo-ah! Hey!" called the girl.

Oh, hey, there's another one of my friends.

"Hey Iseul, what are you doing here?" I asked.

"Well, you know I like photography so I decided to help out here! It just so happens that you were asked to be the model." grinned Iseul and started to check the lighting.

"Oh..."

What else can I say? That's great.

So, this is Park Iseul.

She's one of those happy-go-lucky girls. Yeah, she's a big optimist. She makes everybody else around her really happy, too. I swear, she sprinkles some kind of magical 'happiness' dust into the air or something. Despite her 'happiness effect', she has the most soulful singing voice anyone's ever heard. It's really amazing but creepy at the same time.

"So is he your shooting partner?" asked Iseul as she eyed Minho.

"Uh, yeah."

"He's pretty cute. You know, he kinda reminds me of someone... but I just can't put my finger on who it is... Yup, his vibe's really similar to... Gah! Who is it?!" exclaimed Iseul.

Uh... Okay... Em... I don't think he reminds ME of anybody.

Iseul sighed then walked up to Minho, stretching out her right hand towards him, "Hi, I'm Park Iseul. You're my friend's shooting partner. It's nice to meet you!"

Minho just wordlessly nodded his head and shook her outstretched hand.

There's another thing about Iseul. She can make a new friend in less than one minute.

"So, what's your name?"

"I'm Choi Minho."

"Do you attend Star Academy also?"

"Yeah."

"Hm, I've never seen you around before. So you must be in the modeling department, right?"

"No. I'm in the singing department."

"Oh, really? Then how did you become the male main model for this shoot?"

"I model during my free time."

"That's cool! I photograph for a hobby. That's how I'm here right now but I belong in the singing department, too." smiled Iseul.

"Okay! The first shooting will start in two minutes! Models, please get to your positions now!" shouted a staff member.

Minho and I quickly stood in our positions as the photographer came back in and prepared his camera.

In a matter of seconds, the camera started to flash away with Minho and me posing. Our concept was a flower-like blooming Spring Couple.

Oh, joy.

"Good, good! Smile!" said the photographer.

I smiled. I think Minho smiled, too.

"A bit more skin-ship, please!"

Ugh. He's so demanding. We're already holding hands. Isn't that enough? I mean, come on now, this is a TEEN magazine and- *Gasp!* Minho suddenly wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his forehead on mine. He smiled, looking into my eyes.

"Excellent! Excellent!"

What else can I do? I wrapped my arms around his neck and smiled back. I could hear Iseul giggling from the side. She must think that this is funny. This is NOT funny.

After the shoot was over, Iseul came skipping towards me.

"Going pretty intimate with Minho, eh?" she teased.

I rolled my eyes, "It's just a job."

Iseul wiggled her eyebrows, "Uh-huh, sure. I saw some things going on! Anyways, when both of you guys smiled, it totally lit the whole place up! We didn't even need the lighting, probably!"

Oh, really? Well, that's good. That means that the pictures probably came out nicely.

"Omo! Unni-deul~!" shouted a voice from somewhere.

Iseul grinned as she spotted that person and waved.

Hey it's...
