FALLEN WONDERLAND 「LEE SOO HYUK & SEO YEA JI FICTION」

9: Headlines

Lee Soo Hyuk sat on his leather couch with Park Seo Joon, staring blankly at the television screen. They had just taken Su-Ah home, and Lee had grabbed two beers for them to share. They sat in silence for a long time before Lee finally spoke up. He started to explain what had happened in Milan. He recounted how, during a flight, he had witnessed a girl with a hoodie mistreating a flight hostess and intervened to stop her. The girl was Seo Yea Ji, and he later discovered that negative articles about him on a website called "The Fallen News" were associated with her.

JhanCarlo and Victor, from the Dolce & Gabbana main store in Milan, had asked Lee Soo Hyuk and Seo Yea Ji to wear two rare outfits designed for them in an upcoming fashion show. Lee Soo Hyuk had agreed, but Seo Yea Ji had been hesitant due to her dislike of him. After some convincing, she agreed to wear the outfit, but the tension between the two models remained. They had put their differences aside for a professional performance, but the tension remained.

Lee's frustration was palpable as he spoke about the fashion show and the many times they had argued. The tension that arose between them was due to a disagreement over their outfits. He kept saying how rude, spoiled, and unprofessional Seo Yea Ji was and that he did not believe that he would ever meet her again. Park was very surprised because he did not know anything about those incidents. He knew how professional Lee was and had never seen him argue before. Lee always managed to respond as kindly as possible, even during difficult times in his early years. Park couldn't believe that Lee had fought with Seo Yea Ji in the way that he described.

Lee's body language showed his frustration and sadness about the situation. He slumped on the couch and took long sips from his beer, occasionally shaking his head in disbelief. Park tried to console him, but he knew that the situation had deeply affected his friend. Lee had worked so hard to get where he was, and to have his hard work overshadowed by someone's unprofessional behavior was disheartening.

"I just can't believe how unprofessional she was," Lee said. "I mean, I get that we don't have to be best friends, but we're professionals, we should be able to work together without all this tension. And now Su-Ah is dragged into this mess."

Park nodded sympathetically. "I understand. It's tough when you have to work with someone who doesn't have the same level of professionalism as you."

Lee sighed. "I just don't know how to move forward from this. I feel like I can't trust her, and that's not a good feeling to have when you're working with someone."

Park thought for a moment. "Maybe it would help to talk to her about it? Clear the air and try to work things out?"

Lee shook his head. "I don't think that would work. She's so stubborn and defensive. I just can't see us having a civil conversation about this."

Park frowned. "Well, then maybe it's just something you have to deal with. Focus on your work, be professional, and don't let her behavior get to you."

Lee nodded. "Yeah, you're right. I just need to keep my head down and focus on my work. I know I'm good at what I do, and I won't let her behavior affect that."

Park smiled. "That's the spirit. Just remember, you're not alone in this. I'm here for you if you need anything."

Lee smiled back. "Thanks"

As Lee and Park continued their conversation, they talked more about the events in Milan and caught up on a few other things. They reminisced about past modeling gigs and discussed their plans for the future. However, as the night wore on, Park glanced at his watch and noticed that it was getting late. He knew that he had to get home and get some rest for an early morning meeting.

"Hey man, hate to cut this short, but it's getting pretty late," Park said with a yawn.

Lee nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I should probably get some rest too. Thanks for all this."
