Y/N's POV

I arrived early at the big building. There were many staff members and other models, many famous ones. And then there's me, I started not too long ago and now having a big job with these other famous models, it makes me nervous. I'm hired for a new collection of a new designer. I haven't heard of him before but my manager told me this is a big chance for me. "Y/l/n y/n here's your dressing room." It wasn't big at all, as expected.

"Your outfits are here. You're going to do 3 looks, so it's wear it go on stage come back and change." I nod as I understand the instructions. "Hair and makeup will be done over here." We continue to walk. I've already seen a few famous faces which made me more than nervous but I can't show that. "At 9 o'clock we have a rehearsal. Get ready. Your outfits are ranked as well to make it easier. Good luck." I follow my manager to my dressing room. "It is really small." I commented.

"Y/n it's a show not a shoot, there are many other models they can't give everyone a big room." She tells me. "I know. Can I actually meet the designer? I haven't met him yet." I ask. "Maybe later, you don't have to think too much about that. Now here's the stylist get ready now." The stylist took the first outfit and gave it to me. I got changed in the extremely small room, it honestly looks more like a closet. Once I got changed I walk out. "Here are the shoes ma'am." The stylist says. "Please just call me y/n."

"Oh okay. Here y/n." She hands me the shoes. They fitted just right. "Is this outfit supposed to be so big?" I asked. "Yes, that's Taeyong's style. He makes his designs always bigger and a little baggy, and the many colours is also something typical his style." She explains me. "His name's Taeyong?" She nods. "Oh here let me help with the accessories." She takes out some necklaces and earrings. "It looks good actually. Not like those other brands. This is more fun and playful, I get instantly happy seeing and wearing this." I say with a giggle. "Taeyong will be more than happy to hear that!"

I'm really curious who Taeyong is. "Will he?" I questioned. "Yes. He's just like you a rookie to many others. He's got a lot of bad criticism before for the clothes he created. He first didn't want to do this show and even quit but his friends made him change his mind." She explains it all. "Oh, I feel so sorry for him." I say. "Anyway you're ready for the makeup." She smiles at me. I nod and go take a seat on one of the chairs. "Y/l/n y/n?"

"Yes that's me." The makeup artist starts to apply the makeup. "Are you nervous?" He asks me. "A little. It's all new to me. Until now I've only done shoots." I tell him. "Oh wow so this is a big step for you huh?" I nod in response. "Do you know Lee Taeyong?" I ask. "I've heard many things about him but I've never done one of his models' makeup." He tells me. "What have you heard about him?" I ask. "A lot of bad things to be honest. About his clothing lines not about him as a person of course."

"You think these outfits are bad?" I ask. "It's not really my style but it's definitely not bad. That man sure dares to come up with something like this when there are bigger brands and designers here." He chuckles. "Oh yeah, but that's what makes it unique right." He finished my makeup. "Y/l/n y/n it's time for the rehearsal. You're 2nd in line." A staff says. I got on my place and follow the instructions for when I have to get on stage. I walk and pose at the end, I make a twirl and turn around to get off stage again.

After rehearsal and having to change a few times I had a small break. I sit on a chair as I take my water bottle. "Where is she?" I hear a voice and look at the man walking in. "Y/n right?" He smiles at me. I slowly nod and greet him. "I'm Taeyong. I just wanted to say that rehearsal was amazing! Keep it up like that for the show tonight. Is your manager here? I'd like to speak him." He asks me. "It's a she and she's over there." He smiles and turns to my manager.

"Ma'am... uh y/n, I've never heard Taeyong compliment his models." The stylist tells me. "What?" I say confused. "It's true. I guess he must've really liked you on stage." I feel my face heat up. "Do you think so? I just thought I could do better than that." I say. "Y/n you were great believe me, there's no need to do better than that because that was fantastic. My collection is about imperfection and being yourself." Taeyong suddenly appears again. "You'll do great, I know that." He smiles. "Thank you." I bow politely.

"No don't bow, it's fine." He says with a giggle. "Oh what's this? Wait let me help with that." He noticed something on the clothes that was right. "This will do I guess." He says as he adjusts a belt around my waist. We were really close to each other. "So um..." he starts. "I asked your manager if you might want to work with me more often. For my brand of course." My eyes widened. "That'd be great!" I smile. "I look forward to work with you." He gives me to most precious smile I've ever seen. "Good luck there." He winks before leaving.
