Hobi fixed his intense gaze on Jimin, his eyes narrowing slightly as he tried to read the emotions swirling behind his friend's playful demeanor. Jimin, feeling the weight of Hobi's scrutiny, shifted his weight from one foot to the other, a sheepish grin spreading across his face. The corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a hint of mischief, as if he were trying to deflect the seriousness of the moment with his charm.

Jimin glanced at Hobi, a hint of confusion in his eyes. 

"Hyung, I had no idea you were dealing with something regarding him. Besides, this is my first assignment, right?" He paused, studying Hobi's expression, preparing himself to maintain his composure.

With a confident smile, Jimin insisted, 

"Oh, please! Just tell me which model you want, and I'll track him down." 

He tried to express determination in his voice, suggesting his willingness to exceed expectations, even though the reality painted a different picture. The male model he had in mind for the new collection happened to be one of those blacklisted by JH Lines, a fact that made the situation all the more complicated.

"I asked you to forward the profile to my PA before moving forward,"Hobi addressed him with a calm yet assertive tone, his gaze fixed intently on Jimin, who stood across the room with a slightly furrowed brow.

"What made you overlook that step?"  he continued, his voice steady but carrying an undercurrent of disappointment.

 He paused for a moment, allowing the weight of his words to settle in the air between them.

"Hyung, he's currently the top model! Our collection will look fantastic on him, and it's bound to be a success! We can definitely give him another chance, right, Hyung?" Jimin pleaded with Hobi, his eyes wide with urgency. 

He could feel the weight of the situation pressing down on him, knowing that finding a replacement in just a few hours would create complete chaos.

The clock was ticking, and the photoshoot was just around the corner. Jimin could already envision the stunning outfits they had designed, each piece meticulously crafted to showcase the best of their creativity. 

But without the right model to bring those designs to life, all their hard work could go to waste.

 "Think about it, Hyung," Jimin continued, his voice rising with enthusiasm. 

"He has the perfect look, the charisma that draws everyone in. Our collection deserves to shine, and he's the one who can make that happen. We can't let a little hiccup ruin everything we've worked for!"

"In life, we don't always get a second chance, Jimin. It's best not to rely on it." Hobi spoke again, his voice steady yet gentle, as he fixed a soft gaze on Jimin.

"So, does that mean no? I still have to look for a replacement?" Jimin furrowed his brow, a hint of frustration creeping into his voice as he asked.

He began to scratch his head, feeling the weight of the situation settle in like a heavy fog. The tension in the air was palpable, thick enough to cut with a knife. 

 Caught up in his playful banter with Hobi's new personal assistant, both of them had overlooked the crucial task of reconfirming the model's profile. It was a simple oversight, but one that left Jimin in a bit of a bind. 

 Hobi simply nodded in response, his attention glued to his phone as he continued to scroll through the screen, seemingly oblivious to the storm brewing in Jimin's mind. 

A smile unexpectedly spread across Jimin's face as he realized he had the perfect candidate in mind to meet Hobi's exacting standards. The thought of it sent a rush of excitement through him.
