At the studio
The Part Timer
Hyungggg, did you bring it?
The model flies pass me and dashes towards the door, missing me by inches. I heave a sigh of relief, the head coordinator will probably kill me if I have drop the expensive clothes on the floor. I mean she did emphasize the clothes probably worth a year of my salary.
Thank you so much! Wait for me, okay? I’m finishing soon. You can sit over there at that corner and watch me.
I see him hugging his hyung tightly. Just then, I heard my name called and quickly walk over to the stylists handing over the items. Finally, the time bomb off my hands. Another helper comes up to me.
Can you go get drinks? This is the list.
I know it supposed to be his job, I definitely heard the head coordinator instructing him. But … maybe he’s not well and since I’m free, I agree to help out.
The model’s manager who has overheard our conversation turns happily to me.
Could you also help me to get a smoothie, strawberry flavoured? I was going to buy it myself but the director wants to speak to me so I can’t leave.
Well, one more drink doesn’t hurt. I added his to the list while a thought comes to my mind. Is strawberry the hot thing now or the fruit and I have some kind of destiny thing going on? I laugh at my own ridiculous thinking, gaining some weird looks from the people around.
Once back, I start distributing the drinks according to the list. The model’s manager is on the phone when I hand him his drink. He pauses in his phone conversation and points to a person seated at the far corner.
Can you give the drink to that person? Thanks.
I go over to the corner looking at the guy who has earpiece plug in, head swaying in rhythm. The closer I get, the grin on my face spreads wider. Now that explains the strawberry flavoured smoothie. I glide up to him, yes glide or at least that’s what I feel since I’m on cloud nine.
Hi, here’s your strawberry smoothie.
At least I’m not stuttering like the last time. But my heart is not doing so well. He removes his earpiece, looks at the drink in my out-reach hand and looks quizzically at me. I repeat my sentence since he probably never heard me in the first place.
Your drink, its straw flavoured, no, I mean strawberry! Hee yes strawberry not straw.
He giggles at my slip while standing up, taking the drink from my outstretch hand. He looks at me, head tilted a bit to the side with his mouth slightly pouting, seemingly thinking. Oh … that’s too cute for my heart.
Thank you for the smoothie. And I know you! We have met a few times right?
Yes! I’m -
Hyunggg, I’m done. We can leave already. Did you watch me just now? Do you like the concept? How’s my posing? Did you take photos of me?
Why do this always happen! Finally I get to introduce myself and interrupted once again! The model guy goes pass me and embraces his hyung, grabbing all his attention with the questions, and nudging me away from him at the same time. Nudging is the nicer version, body check is more like it.
Yes, I did watch you just now. You done well. I’m sure the photos will look fantastic when they are out.
The older male is patting the model, smiling proudly as he answers the multiple questions asked of him. He then seems to remember I’m still there and turns to me.
Hey, you were say -
Hyung, I’m so hungry. You need to feed me!
The model grabs onto his hyung’s hand and pulls him away towards the exit, making exaggerated expressions to prove his point. The older male just laughs and let himself be pulled away. As they near the exit, I hear him mention laughingly.
But Myungie, I’m sure they want their clothes back. There’s a woman looking ready to pound on you if we move any further.
The model stops in his track and changes his course towards the head coordinator instead, still holding onto the laughing male hand, bringing him together into the changing room.
Shouts of my name snap me out of the staring. I scramble to help out with the packing up, my gaze still lingering at the changing room.
I’m looking forward to the next meeting. Yes, I believe I’m fated to meet the strawberry cutie. But, whoever is up there, can you at least give me a chance to introduce myself!
I have so many things that need to be done but I only want to write this :p
Another out and down to two. Who do you support?
Thanks for reading and please leave me lots of comments :)
