Chapter 128. Photo Shoot (3)

Translator: Aura

The photo shoot resumed in a different room. Instead of the green screen, a luxurious vintage-style interior was recreated as a background. Lee-Seob wore a traditional three-piece suit. When the photographer saw him in TK Durell Homme’s signature suit, paired with the classic logo tie, he exclaimed in admiration,

“Wow! This may sound cliche, but I have to say it. You look like a British nobleman.”

“I’m Korean. Still, I appreciate the compliment.”

Lee-Seob responded with a faint smile.

“You and the background complement each other fantastically. Rest one hand on the desk. Hmm… Can you place your finger lightly on the nearby lamp switch? The index finger would be fine. Yes, I like it.”

This second part of the photo shoot went smoothly. Lee-Seob repeatedly took off and put on the suit jacket as instructed by the photographer. He posed naturally around the set, even with his hands in his pockets. Many shots used natural light, which reduced his exposure to flashes.

For the third part of the photo shoot, he wore a suit that will be released next season. Derrick Chae’s influence was evident. The gray suit had a shorter jacket and pants than usual, which made him look fresher and livelier. The outfit was completed with a slim red tie and brown wingtip shoes. The lack of socks left his ankles exposed.

Minkyung couldn’t take her eyes off them. It was only his ankles, but to her it was like Lee-Seob was half naked. She felt excited to the point that her heart skipped a beat. However, she didn’t like the idea that everyone would see photos of him like that.

This concept also deviated from the original sketches. Despite the numerous impromptu demands, Lee-Seob managed to feel comfortable as he became more familiar.

“Can you sit on the floor? Lift your knees and rest your arms casually on them. Like this.”

The photographer demonstrated. As Lee-Seob sat on the wooden floor and drew his knees up, his bare ankles were fully exposed. Minkyung stared at them, until suddenly he seemed to notice and looked at her. Lee-Seob raised an eyebrow and parted his lips as if to ask,

‘What is it?’

She lowered her head in embarrassment.

Just then, the shutter sounded…

The final shots in the recreated background would be in an all-black suit. He put on a sleek black dress shirt with a black tie, slim-fit jacket and tailored pants. The black attire accentuated his physique, but he also looked a bit pale. Minkyung became concerned,

“Would you like to rest a little longer in the preparation room before returning?”

Lee-Seob shook his head firmly,

“I want to get this over with.”

“You must be tired.”

“My legs are shaking.”

Instinctively, she glanced at his lower body. He reached up and ruffled her hair lightly.

“It’s a lie. You should know better than anyone that my legs don’t shake so easily.”

It was an unexpected joke. Embarrassed, she licked her lower lip.

“Are you asking for a kiss?”

“Director.”

No one else was there, but she still became tense. In an attempt to cut off his jokes, she awkwardly offered him her glass of juice,

“Take a sip.”

“An indirect kiss isn’t bad either.”

Undeterred, Lee-Seob made another quip. He then lowered his head to drink from the straw.
