The Perfect Fit

Inspired by the photoshoot of Lee Sung Kyung. She looked surreal and enchanting.😍

_______________________

The sound of the stereo from across the room, the flashing light from the cameras and the voice of the photographer running a series of directives gave thrill and excitement to Lee Sung Kyung. It wasn't always her dream to be on the spot light but she couldn't help but loving it as years went by. May it be a big movie project, tv shows or commercial deals it still left her astounded. True, it was exhausting and frustrating at times but the end results would always give her satisfaction. Today, was one of those days she knew it's going to be a long photoshoot consisting of different outfits which she was excited to wear as they all ranged  from her favorite designers. Then there was the make up which for those who didn't know she was crazy about because she loved how it could transform her from one look to another. She was now being prepped for her first shoot with a barely there make up and brightly coloured lips look, her now dark long hair was in a wet hair style flowing freely down her back. People might think that this job was easy but it wasn't.  Every time she donned an outfit with a certain look she had to create a new persona when the camera started clicking. She must exaggerate and make her poses bold to give it life in pictures. Every look had to embody a different character and every look takes quite sometime to shoot and thus the journey of the successful outcome wasn't always glitz and glamour. However, at the end of the day  after seeing all her hard work there were no regrets only gratefulness and feeling blessed.

"You were great today Ms. Lee! It seems that the make up was just an added bonus you were naturally glowing! That extra rest is doing you good you should do it more often." One of Korea's well known photographers Kim Young Jun told her. The rest of the team agreed and and complimented her as well.

Still unused to being praised despite her fame, she shyly thanked everyone for accommodating her and for a job well done.

She returned a little later to her changing room to pack up as she did a short online fan meet after her shoot was done to interact with her fans as she was thankful for all the support they had given her. She found her phone buzzing on the table when she came in. She smiled when she saw who was calling her.

"Hey you." She answered her phone.

"Hey, I missed you. How was your shoot?" The person on the line asked her.

"I had a fun time everyone was awesome and I miss you too." She replied.

"How about a late dinner?" The caller suggested.

How could she say no?

"That would be great I'm starving!" She replied enthusiastically.

They agreed where to meet and Sung Kyung couldn't have changed fast enough.

Although dressed inconspicuously in her hooded cropped top , dad jeans and sneakers after a day of glamour she still cautiously entered the worn out restaurant door. She pulled her hoodie up closer to her face and adjusted her mask. Truthfully there wasn't really much to worry about in the quaint restaurant they were meeting as most who went there were older people keen on gossiping about their friends and neighbours rather than celebrities nor was it a trendy place for younger crowds to go but their food was another story it was a hidden treasure that brought the comforts of home. Having been there numerous times Sung Kyung hurriedly went up the rickety stairs to where she knew she would find the person she's meeting.

There were only a couple of people on the second floor and on the far corner of the room already taking a shot of Soju and grilling some pork was non other than one of her best friends.

The beautiful Park Shin Hye.

It had been a while since she caught up with her in person. Sure they would call and message each other as often as they could in their busy lives plus the fact that the pandemic had put on hold on their plans of traveling together this meet up was something she couldn't miss despite having had a hectic day.
