Fifty Shades Of Park Jimin

Chapter 26: Part Of The Backdrop

"Today, I am extremely happy to have the opportunity to interview two beautiful oriental beauties. Welcoming Y/N and Yoona!" the reporter used fluent English to greet the two. At this moment, Yoona had to take a moment to listen to the translator in her ear before giving a response. However, she could only respond in Korean. On the other hand, Y/N's English was as equally fluent as the reporter's, so she easily conversed with her. In an instant, the reporter felt a closer bond with her.

"I'm aware the two of you have gained a lot of popularity due to your upcoming 'battle'. I want to know, regarding this collaboration, what are your thoughts?"

After hearing the reporter's tricky question, Jungkook was worried Y/N would say something negative, but, Y/N maintained her smile as she replied, "I respect every job I do...that is my attitude towards things."

"Me too," Yoona followed Y/N, easily escaping the need to answer.

"OK, what are your opinions towards each other?"

Another extremely tricky question. Jungkook could feel himself breaking out in a cold sweat, because at this time, if Y/N was to step on Yoona like she did at the stage event recently, he would have no way to stop her. But, who would have expected, after thinking for a moment, Y/N finally replied with one word:

"Confident."

To most people, this would sound like a compliment, but in reality, Y/N was actually mocking her. As Yoona always thought greatly of herself, she thought Y/N was seriously praising her. Her expression became more proud as she looked down at Y/N. In this type of situation, does Y/N have the choice not to behave and accommodate?

Jungkook let out a sigh of relief. The reporter looked at Yoona. She originally thought she would answer in the most appropriate way, however, her response shocked everyone, "The Y/N in my eyes, isn't very humble..."

Isn't very humble!

Jungkook's heart dropped, he had to hold himself back from running on to the stage. Did Yoona bring her brains today? Or had she been praised so much lately that she thought she could do whatever she wanted? They had compared her to others because they knew she wouldn't have the chance to work with them, hence no chance to make a comparison in real life, but Y/N was different; they were about to partake in a photo shoot together - everyone would be able to see the results instantly. How could she not hold back a little and leave herself a chance to retreat in case something went wrong?

Everyone was surprised by Yoona's response.

Not only had they never seen such an arrogant model, they also felt she had an almost non-existent EQ.

In comparison, Y/N's confident response was well thought out and meaningful.

The reporter froze for a moment, not sure how to recover the conversation. At this moment, Y/N smoothly continued talking and saved the awkward moment, "Miss Kim even appeared in the same news article as Senior Han, am definitely not that capable - there's still a lot for me to learn."

The Senior Han that Y/N spoke of was the infamous supermodel Han Hye-jin had previously appeared on the Victoria's Secret runway - the reporters were all familiar with her. At the same time, the reporters could tell Y/N was only being polite, because...if Yoona was really that great she wouldn't be appearing in a simple 3rd-class publication.

Yoona continued to smile confidently. After she was praised by Y/N her expression was smug.

"From what you're saying, Miss Kim must be very impressive." The reporter looked at Y/N thankfully as she followed her lead and praised Yoona.

It was a short 20-minute interview, but Jungkook's heart almost jumped out of his chest while standing on the sidelines.

He was originally worried about Y/N, but today, Yoona had completely disappointed him.
