Model Booking (1/1)

Strawberry - KARAwww.youtube.com/watch?v=j3I6fXVIhh0~•♥•~ Weeks have passed by and Yoochun has been seeing MinYoung often. He either, visits her in her apartment and brings her food whenever she’s too busy to eat and go out or sometimes, he takes her out just so she could take a break from working. Jaejoong and HaRin, Junsu and AeRin, and Changmin and MinGi have been busy with their own lives and often went out as well. However, they still couldn’t understand Yoochun and MinYoung’s status: they’re not together but they seem to be together. Their friends respected the pair’s decision of taking things slow but whenever they see MinYoung and Yoochun together, it’s undeniable that they enjoy each other’s company. On the other hand, Yunho has started managing his own club and has been very busy ever since. His friends tried to contact him but he’s always unreachable. --- Two months later, MinYoung’s designs have been coming to life; she started creating the dresses. Her apartment is in total chaos: different pieces of fabrics, assorted colors of threads and her sketches were scattered all over the place. With three months to spare before she launches her line, it was time to get her models. MinYoung was sitting on a table at MinGi’s bakeshop, waiting for her girl friends to finish their work. About an hour later, everyone was there and MinYoung got down to business. “I need your help, guys,” she told them, looking desperately.“You look tired, unnie. If Yoochun oppa finds out that all you did was finish your clothes, he wouldn’t be happy,” HaRin reminded her.“I’m not stressing out because of the clothes,” she sat up. MinYoung opened her bag pack and brought out three folders full of paper; some falling off from the folder, and dumped it on the table. “What are these?!” MinGi asked with wide eyes.“A lot of girls applied to model on my fashion show. Now, I don’t know how I’m supposed to book these girls,” MinYoung frowned.“When’s the audition?” AeRin asked as she read one résumé.“Two days from now,” she sat back and blew her bangs.“Great! That’s a Saturday! We can help you out!” HaRin cheered.“Really!?” MinYoung’s eyes lit up. Her friends eagerly nodded.“Yey! Thank you guys!” MinYoung frantically clapped her hands. Since they’ve got nothing to do that afternoon, they sorted out the forms. MinYoung then noticed that AeRin has been dropping some papers on the floor. “Why are you dropping these?!” MinYoung asked as she picked up the papers.“Those are rejected,” AeRin answered nonchalantly.“You can’t reject them yet~ we’ll decide when they show us their portfolio and how they walk!” MinYoung cried.“They’ll get rejected anyways,” AeRin shrugged her shoulders.“Dongsaeng will be the toughest person to please,” MinGi joked and everyone else laughed. --- Two days later, it was the day MinYoung will be casting her models. Junsu allowed MinYoung to hold the audition at his parent’s hotel’s function room. It was still dark but girls began to line up in the hotel and waited patiently for MinYoung. “Okay, this is how we’ll do it: we ask them a couple of questions, we look at their portfolio one at a time and ask them to walk from that door towards us and back to where they starter,” MinYoung instructed and her friends nodded in understanding. MinYoung went to sit between HaRin and AeRin behind a long table and motioned for security to let the first girl enter. The first few girls were a disappointment; they look good but they couldn’t do the catwalk properly which is what MinYoung was mainly looking for. The security was about to let another girl enter but MinGi raised her hand to stop him. “We need a break,” MinGi suggested.“I think so, too. I thought it was clear to them that I was looking for models who can do the catwalk really well,” MinYoung frowned, massaging her temple.“I told you those girls whose papers I’ve been dropping the other day would get rejected,” AeRin pointed.“Did you just saw how the last girl walked?!” HaRin cried.“She walks like a chicken,” AeRin said. Her friends couldn’t help but laugh.“The other was even skipping while she walked!” AeRin sat up. “Imagine your models skipping and walking like chickens on your fashion show!” she added. Her friends burst into fits of laughter. AeRin stood up and imitated the other girls’ walk. The four friends rolled on the floor in laughter. “Stop! We have to stop!” MinYoung screamed.“My stomach hurts,” MinGi sat up and clutched her stomach while HaRin wiped her tears from crying.“Let’s proceed,” AeRin sniffled and everyone went back to their seats. While the security motioned for the next girl to enter, MinYoung’s phone rang. Incoming call:Yunho oppa MinYoung looked up at HaRin with a surprised look. “Who is it?” her friend asked.“It’s Yunho oppa,” she said softly but enough for HaRin to hear. “You guys continue; this won’t take long,” MinYoung excused herself and went to the very end of the hall. “Let’s do this, girls,” HaRin began. The door closed after the next person entered. “Can we see your portfolio?” MinGi asked, her and her friends not looking up.“I don’t have my portfolio with me but I did bring you some lunch,” the person spoke in a deep voice. The girls looked questioningly at each other. “Is unnie getting male models as well?” AeRin asked. The three girls looked up at the person. Instead of seeing a female model, standing in the middle was Yoochun with two handful plastics of food. “Yoochun oppa!” the girls greeted.“Hey,” he approached them, placing the plastics on top of the table. “Where’s MinYoung?” he asked, taking MinYoung’s seat.“She’s at the back, taking a phone call from Yunho oppa,” HaRin answered while they rummaged through the plastic for something to eat. Yoochun looked at the back and found MinYoung having a serious conversation with Yunho on the phone.“When was the last time we saw that guy?” Yoochun wondered out loud.“He never showed himself up for like two months or something,” AeRin answered. After a few more minutes, MinYoung went back to her friends.“That guy is just impossible,” she grumbled as she shut her phone.“Oh hey, oppa!” MinYoung cheered up once she saw Yoochun. Yoochun stood up, hugged MinYoung and kissed her cheek.“What are you doing here?” she asked.“I brought over some food,” he smiled. “What’s impossible with hyung?” he asked, holding her by the waist. MinYoung sighed.“He wants me to include his girlfriend on the runway,” she said, her eyebrows knitting together. “He’s got new girlfriend?” AeRin asked, looking dumbfounded.“When did he ever NOT have a girlfriend?” MinGi said sarcastically.“This one’s been a while for two months,” MinYoung informed them. “Remember the girl he introduced to us? The clingy girl in a skimpy outfit?” she asked looking up at Yoochun.“Oh, yeah! That girl! I just forgot her name~” he nodded as he remembered Yunho’s date.“Lee Chan Young,” she reminded him. “She’s been modeling for quite some time now so I think we should cast her in,” she told her friends. “WHAT?!” HaRin, MinGi and AeRin stood up from their seats. Yoochun and MinYoung stepped back. ~•♥•~
