Chapter 127. Photo Shoot (2)

Translator: Aura

See-ah glanced at the photographer and continued in a lower voice,

“No need to worry about the photographer. Jinwook is the kind of person who lives in his own world. He is only interested in the photos he takes. He doesn’t care about Tae Lee-Seob as the heir of TK Group, but as a model. As for the makeup artist and hairdresser, they are experienced and trustworthy professionals. Even if they realize it, they will remain silent.”

Minkyung didn’t take her eyes off See-ah after she spoke, stuck on two words that wouldn’t leave her head.

‘Gossip. Realize…’

See-ah noticed it as she took a few snapshots with her phone, so she turned her head and looked at her. Minkyung quietly asked,

“Did you know about Lee-Seob’s condition?”

“Yes. I wasn’t sure, but I confirmed it from your requests at the last meeting in our company.”

“I see.”

Minkyung looked away with an embarrassed expression,

“I didn’t mean to keep it from you.”

See-ah held her hand lightly.

“Adjust the spotlights.”

The photographer’s voice was heard, followed by the pop of flashes.

“Minkyung, the shoot will occasionally pause to touch up makeup and change outfits. Go with him to the preparation room each time. When he needs his sweat wiped off, you should do it. Director Tae Lee-Seob’s expression doesn’t look good, so do it now.”

That said, See-ah approached Jinwook to review the captured photos and help reposition the spotlights. Minkyung walked over to Lee-Seob and made eye contact.

“What’s wrong?”

At his question, she pulled out an oil absorbing sheet and pressed it against Lee-Seob’s forehead.

“I’ll wipe the sweat.”

She did as See-ah advised. He closed his eyes each time she touched him.

“Ready. Let’s continue.”

The photographer’s words made Minkyung quickly step away.

“Place your hand lightly on your waist and maintain the pose I indicated. Good job, now look up.”

*Pop*

Flashes went off. Minkyung was also dazzled.

“Tilt your head back a little more. I’ll take multiple shots, it doesn’t matter if your eyes close.”

After the camera beeped, there was a pop, followed by blinding flashes. He clicked the shutter button continuously.

Lee-Seob squinted between each shot. It was obvious to her that the situation was not comfortable for him. As Jinwook checked the photos, Lee-Seob exhaled deeply and ran his hand over his neck. Minkyung made a move to approach him, but he made eye contact and shook his head with a smile.

“Change the pose.”

The photographer again clicked the shutter button repeatedly.

“You have a rather cold, but strangely sensual atmosphere. If you weren’t the heir to a conglomerate, I’d advise you to become a real model. You’d be at the top.”

The photographer’s casual comment made See-ah flinch. However, Lee-Seob didn’t show any particular reaction. He simply fixed his eyes on Minkyung as he took a breath. A moment later, the photo shoot continued as he changed from one pose to another.

“Take a break, touch up your makeup and hair. We’ll work with a new concept.”

Said the photographer to Lee-Seob. He then motioned for See-ah to come closer. He opened his sketchbook and began to draw while he asked for her opinion. See-ah tilted her head and focused on the sketch.

Minkyung hurried over to Lee-Seob, stood on her tiptoes, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Her lips were so close to his face that he felt a brief temptation to kiss her. However, he restrained himself,

“Thank you.”

“You’re doing well.”

Minkyung said with a smile, and then walked him to the preparation room to get ready.
