17 - Modelling
Leading A Double Life [ On-Hold ]Pacing back and forth, Yoojung waited as Rima and Temari were changing into their shirts. Looking at her watch, time seemed to pass by a lot quicker.
* What's taking them so long? In another five minutes, the shop's going to be opened. * After what seemed like forever for Yoojung, the two young girls came out of the dressing room in the shirts.
“ I knew the design would be perfect. ” Yoojung smiled in accomplishment.
“ Yeah… yeah… don’t make me puke now. I just ate my lunch. I don’t want it to come up in under an hour. ” Rima remarked.
“ It won’t. Now you only have 2 minutes left. Straighten yourself up and take these flyers for today’s promotion. ” Yoojung handed the flyers to them.
“ Don’t worry. I’m sure all thousand pieces would be sold out by today. ” Temari said.
“ Or not. It’s still summer vacation, so there will be lesser teenagers around here. Most of them would be finding part time jobs to earn money. ” Yoojung reminded.
“ I hate to say this, but I agree with Yoojung this time, Mari. It’s still summer vacation. I hate your school, Yoojung. ” Rima said.
“ At least I get a break from modeling. ” Yoojung smiled and stretched.
“ Who has been modeling more than you? ” Rima placed her hands in her hips, causing Yoojung to roll her eyes.
“ Whatever, AB girl. It’s time now. ” She pushed the both of them out of the shop and opened the door.
“ Everything’s set now. Let’s just hope people would actually start coming in. If not, all the efforts I put into thinking up a design ever since the task started would be wasted. ” Yoojung told herself.

A few hours later, Rima and Temari came back with half the flyers.
“ How many did you sell? ” Rima asked. Yoojung looked at the polaroid films gathered and counted them.
“ Only twenty. ” Yoojung sadly informed.
“ It’s okay! We still have the rest of the month. Including the days all of us have shoots. ” Temari tried to lighten up the sullen mood.
“ What’s wrong? ” Baekhyun walked into the room and saw the crestfallen faces.
“ After a few hours of advertising and selling, we only sold twenty. ” Yoojung informed the confused boy.
“ Oh… ” Baekhyun nodded in understanding.
“ It’s alright! We still have the rest of the month. ” Baekhyun optimistically stated.
“ I can’t believe the both of you could still be optimistic at times like this. ” Yoojung shook her head.
Temari laughed and turned her attention to Yoojung’s hair, only to see a strand of pink escaping from under the wig.
“ Um… Yoojung? May I talk to you for a second? ” Temari asked and pulled Yoojung to the back, out of earshot from the others, especially Baekhyun.
“ Nee-san, your pink hair is showing. ” Temari informed.
“ Really? Help me fix my wig. ” Yoojung took off her blonde wig and her pink hair fell down her back, while her bangs dropped to just below the eyebrows.
“ Next time, please use a ball cap. If not, I don’t know who will inform you of your hair next time. ” Temari advised as she fixed Yoojung’s wig back to her head.
“ Yes, secretary. ” Yoojung mocked Temari with her position as the president’s secretary in the student council.
“ For your information, I’m being promoted to vice-president next month. After the recent elections, they had me be the vice-president, and Shin as the secretary. ” Temari proudly told Yoojung.
“ That’s good, vice-pres. ” Yoojung smiled.
“ Haru nee-san is mean. ” Temari pouted.
