Summer

How are you doing today?

Oh i'm doing good. I'm a little nervous.

Don't be nervous you're going to be perfectly fine. I like your hair, when did you dye it?

Yesterday. My stylist flew out from South Korea to dye it. I didn't mind the grown out blonde hair but she insisted I had to do something with it. Shes really sweet and she knows what she's doing so I gave in. Ive been wanting to do red so we did.

Do you like to plan things more in the moment then?

It depends on the circumstances. Usually, yes I do a lot of things more momentarily than planned ahead.

How are you and Jungsu doing?

Oh we're good. He's been sending me pictures of my cat when he gets the chance. They've been incredibly busy preparing for their comeback and we've been super busy on tour lately that I haven't been able to see him much.

Is it hard to date as idols?

A little bit. I think it's quite fun because it's brought our fandoms together, but we don't get to see each other all that often.

You don't need to answer this question if you feel uncomfortable. How do you feel about your fans after recent events?

I still love them. Not every Stay is like that. It hurts me that some of them see me like that and think they can just do things like that to me. Especially since I am in a relationship. I will never understand what makes people think that is okay, but I am mature enough to know that most of Stay loves me and respects me and would never do that to me.

That's really inspiring. I feel like a lot of people would have just hated fans or quit after going through what you went through.

It's easy to persevere through anything when I have as much support as I do from fans and my group members.

You care a lot about your members don't you?

Of course I do. I wouldn't be here without them. They're always there for me always ready to help me anytime anywhere. I truly do not deserve them.

I'm sure they'd all say the same about you.

The photoshoot circled around the terrible events she's gone through while being an idol. They put little makeup on her, only a bit of eyeshadow and mascara. They wanted the scar on her cheek to be visible, as a symbol of her perseverance. She was put into a nude bodysuit. A vine was then wrapped around her, with red roses and thorns. The roses represented what people think idols lives are like and the thorns symbolize what it's really like. She did many different poses. Some of her laying on the ground with her hair spread all around her head and thorns and flowers surrounding her. Some she sat on the floor with the vine wrapped around her. She held up the vine in one hand, looking at it. There was a few where she stood up plainly with her hands dangling by her side, the thorns surrounded her neck. Lastly, the most symbolic was a close up of her face. The vine was placed so that a thorn was at the very tip of the scar on her cheek. Her face looked very solemn in the photo. She looked through the pictures, they were breathtaking and really perceived the hardships of being an idol.

"It's perfect." The photographer spoke, "Thank you for working with us."

"No thank you guys. It was my absolute pleasure." She smiled.

"We will send you the photos from the shoot and which ones will be on our social medias as well as our magazines."

"Perfect." They gave her a copy of the article and description that would go along with her pictures.

Description:
Stray Kids' Summer, a Korean Idol who has been through many hardships in her short two years in this industry, shows this through our photoshoot, thorns and roses. In this shoot we used a vine of roses to show the good times, the fame, the love she and other idols get. The thorns show the darker side of the industry, such as the terrible events Summer, herself has been put through.

She got a ride back to the hotel. She enjoyed the photoshoot more than she expected, before hand she had actually no idea what the photoshoot was even about, maybe that was for the better. If she knew about it a week ago she would have denied the offer with where her mental state was. She walked into her room.

"How'd it go?"

"What did you wear?"

"What questions did they ask you?"

"We're they mean?"

"Damn I couldn't even step into my room yet." She laughed as she took off her jacket and walked in, "It went well. The photoshoot was about like how difficult it is to be an idol." She spoke, "I was in a nude body suit was a vine of roses and thorns around me. They were very sweet, and they asked me pretty normal questions, about my hair and Jungsu and the situation from a little bit ago."

"That sounds like a really great photoshoot." Chan smiled.

"Oh here's the description." She handed Chan a paper. The boys all gathered around him to see what it said.

"Have they sent you the pictures yet?" Felix asked, eagerly.

"I can check." She pulled up her email on her computer, "Nothing yet. I should get it by the end of today."

"It's the end of today!" Jeongin said as he grabbed Summer's laptop to look for the pictures.

"You boys are too excited." She laughed.

"They're here!" He yelled.

"Wait seriously?" She got up and walked over to Jeongin, although she couldn't see anything as the seven other boys had already gotten around him.

"Oh my god." They all gasped when they saw the photos. She couldn't tell if it was a good or a bad gasp.

"That's my girlfriend! That model right there? Yeah mine! She's my girlfriend!" Jisung jumped around the room. Summer laughed as she hid her blushing face.

"Jisung people are gonna hear you!" Changbin laughed. He immediately hushed and started silent cheering to himself. Haeun laughed at his little celebration dance.

"These are really pretty." Minho commented.

"Wait go back." Hyunjin told Jeongin. He went back a photo, "The thorn over your scar is genius." He commented.

"I like the one of you on the floor holding the vine." Seungmin spoke.

"Can I see them?" She laughed a little.

"Oh yeah!" Jeongin gave her the laptop. The pictures truly were amazing. Her solemn expressions made the photoshoot more serious, just like the topic it was about. The photoshoot was soon released on Vouge, Vouge Korea and the realstraykids instagram
