After the solo shoot was complete, Jooeun stepped out of the studio to allow for the set to change. She also needed to put on a new set of clothes. However, upon returning to the waiting room, Shinhye's assistant was standing guard at the door with a provoking look towards her.

"President Jung is inside, you will have to wait for a bit."

Jooeun glanced at Shinhye's assistant calmly before gently pushing him aside and opening the door. Inside the room, Shinhye was sitting on Yonghwa's lap. The two were immersed in a passionate moment. The scene in front of her was like the night she discovered the two of them cheating on her. This kind of provocation and disregard for other people around them seemed like they thought they had already won.

Upon seeing the two, Jooeun wasn't angry or hurt like the first time she had discovered them this way. Instead, her eyes looked at them in mockery and ridicule. Shinhye did not expect Jooeun to walk in so suddenly. Seeing Jooeun act naturally, she couldn't continue what she was doing.

Realizing the situation, Yonghwa also pushed Shinhye off his lap. "Let's continue back at the hotel tonight."

"I love you, Yonghwa." Shinhye took the opportunity to confess her love proudly. After all, she had stolen the best thing Jooeun owned, Yonghwa or so she thought.

"I also love you, babe." After reassuring the woman in his arms, Yonghwa stood up and warned Jooeun. "You will both be doing your photoshoot together in a moment, make sure to coordinate well with Shinhye. You too, Shinhye, don't cause trouble for each other. We can't afford to make an even bigger joke of ourselves, understood?"

"Yonghwa, don't you understand Jooeun by now? Isn't her purpose of being here to cause us trouble? Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on her."

Jooeun was quiet the entire time. Using her fluent English, she just simply asked the stylist and makeup artist to continue with their work. Yonghwa left the room with an angry expression on his face. Passing by some staff, he took the opportunity to ask them how Shinhye's photoshoot went. They all responded with 'Not bad', 'she has a promising future', 'Very good' and 'she will go viral'. Whereas, when asked about Jooeun, they just smiled meaningfully with no opinion. Jooeun was so perfect, they couldn't find words to express it. However, in Yonghwa's eyes, he thought Shinhye must have left a stronger impression.

As the photoshoot was approaching, the stylist sincerely prepared one black and one white piece of clothing for them. The plan was to make them appear like a pair of sisters. Originally, Shinhye's provocative character was more suited to black, whereas Jooeun's gentleness was more suited to white. But because white was more eye-catching, Shinhye ran over first and snatched the white one for herself.

"This." The fashion designer was put in a difficult position.

"Give it to her." Jooeun said without even blinking an eye. "As long as Miss Park is sure she won't regret it!"

However, Minjung was not willing to accept this situation. Standing behind Jooeun, she threw a verbal grenade at Shinhye. "Are you addicted to snatching things from others?"

"Jooeun already agreed, what right do you think you have to disapprove? You're merely an assistant." Shinhye picked up the white clothing proudly. Minjung slightly stomped her feet. However, Jooeun turned to her and said, "That piece of clothing indeed suits her better."

Hearing this, Minjung immediately understood. There was no way Jooeun would simply give her clothing to someone else. So she calmed down. Like this, the two models ended up swapping their clothes. There really wasn't much difference, they were both lacy dresses. After putting on the white lacy dress, Shinhye looked bright and lively, it was a refreshing sight to see. The detailed embroidery on the lacy dress especially made her appear like a goddess; it matched her well.

Shinhye wasn't stupid, she knew light colors were more eye-catching, that's why white was her first choice "Who would wear such a lifeless color like black?"

But thinking about it, Jooeun's dull personality was perfect for it; Shinhye couldn't help but laugh at the thought. "Black suits you well."

Judging by the situation at hand, if Jooeun was to wear black, wouldn't she become her backdrop? Shinhye was daydreaming. Jooeun smiled as she returned the compliment. "White also suits you."

"The shoot is starting, could the two models please get ready?" The photographer's assistant called from outside. Shinhye took a quick glance at Jooeun, her heart was racing, this was the first time she was to a stage with Jooeun. Her opportunity had finally come to show off her skills; she was going to make everyone realize Jooeun was an outdated model who was not comparable to her in a million ways.

Following closely, the two models entered the studio one after another. This time, the backdrop was a modern street scene that gave off a melancholy aura. The photographer watched as Jooeun and Shinhye stepped on set. A sudden thought came to his mind: not only did Jooeun have a strong modeling foundation, but it was also possible she even understood photography. He could see from the way Jooeun chose her angles and worked the lighting that she also understood the use of complementing colors. Why did the photographer suddenly think this? Because the backdrop behind them was old and melancholy, whereas the sky was white. If you imagine placing something white on a blank piece of paper, it would only disappear into the background. On the other hand, what would happen if you placed something black? No matter how small it was, it would still catch the attention of whoever's looking at it.

To confirm his thoughts, the photographer turned to his assistant and asked, "Did Jooeun see us change the background?"

"I think she only saw us carrying the backdrop in." The assistant replied.

"Indeed!" She was professional and understood how to take advantage of the situation. If a model like her didn't become famous, there was something wrong with this world. The photographer was impressed with Jooeun even more.

On the other hand, all Shinhye knew how to do was go with the flow. She only knew to stand in front of Jooeun because standing in front of Jooeun would make her stand out more. Jooeun let her have her way and did everything to satisfy her and support her.

"Come, get ready! We need to get started. The first set of shots will have Miss Park standing in the foreground holding onto Miss Cha's hand. Miss Cha will be following behind. I want you to both to look excited like it is the first time you are out on the streets."

Hearing she was to stand in the foreground, Shinhye smirked to herself. Indeed picking white was the right choice. There was no doubt she would get famous from this magazine shoot, so her prideful expression increased. She simply turned around, grabbed Jooeun's hand unwillingly, and pulled a pose like she was anxious to move forward.

However, what pose did Jooeun do? She simply placed her focus on a small street vendor pictured in the backdrop. The street vendor was selling lots of beautiful fabric and she appeared to be fascinated by it. By looking at her, you could feel how badly she wanted to stay and not be pulled forward. At the same time, she showed off the smooth curves of one side of her body while drawing Shinhye into the scene. But because her expression was so vivid, all the attention was on her.

Hence, Park Shinhye simply became part of the backdrop.
