Me VS You //Bts FF

Chapter 48

Yumi and Irine, together with their professor, had arrived at the set, where the photo shoot in collaboration with the models would take place.

The girls were distracted looking everywhere since it was their first time in such a place and it didn't take long for the two of them to notice familiar people around who made them start whispering to each other.

"Whoa! I've seen that guy in a magazine!" Exclaimed Yumi as she motioned with her head to Irine to notice a blond guy who was on their right.

"Oh yeah, I know him too. And I know that one over there as well" Irine said referring to a girl who was wearing a gold dress.

The two let out a few low howls of excitement before the professor got their attention and told them to go to the dressing rooms to put on the clothes they needed for the photo shoot.

The two of them let the professionals do whatever they wanted with them from makeup and hair to clothing and after everything was done they looked at themselves in the mirror with wide eyes as even they couldn't believe how much they had changed in appearance in half an hour of work.

"Blue looks good on you! Stunning " Yumi commented referring to the dress they had given Irine which was the colour of the sea and it stood very nicely on her. It showed off her figure as well as her chest which was a bit more exposed than Irine herself would normally prefer.

"Thank you. And you're not bad in red. It always flattered you as a colour." Irine admitted as she always thought bright colours made her friend look even more feminine than she was.

It didn't take long for their names to be called, making them exit the dressing room they had entered, leaving a few words of thanks to the ladies who had treated them and then heading to the set where other models should be at.

But although the two of them came out happy and laughing, as soon as they rounded the corner of the hall they were a little shocked when a face even more familiar than the others came into view. His hair was half wet like the rest of the male models, and he was dressed in black.

TaeHyung was talking with some other colleagues at that moment and was getting ready for his photo shoot and he didn't take long to notice their presence just as they had done and stayed with the same stunning look looking at them just like the girls were.

The truth was that a nervousness had awakened in him as soon as he had seen Irine but at the same time, he knew that he had nowhere to hide at that moment. So he just stayed there and encouraged himself from within to act as normal as he could.

But he didn't know that he wasn't the only one who had that awkwardness at that moment as Irine herself had blushed a bit upon seeing him, the image of the scene that had happened between them in the bathroom that morning unwittingly returning to her mind and making her look down at the floor.

"Woah woah what a surprise this is! I didn't expect you to be here" Yumi said with a smile as she walked over to Taehyung and let her hand lightly tap Taehyung's shoulder.

"I'm a model, in a photo shoot, I am the most expected thing here. You guys are the ones who shouldn't be here" Taehyung replied as he let his gaze focus on his half-sister even though the truth was that he wanted to steal a subtle glance towards Irine and unfortunately, it didn't take even a second before he did just that.

But instead of a quick sneak peek, he couldn't help but let his eyes focus on her face, noticing her beauty and everything about her, until Irine looked up and their gazes happened to meet, causing both of them to look the other way somewhat sharply.

"What's going on? Why this awkward atmosphere" Yumi purposely decided to comment on the event since she immediately noticed that something was going on.

" What? What awkwardness are you talking about? I'm just a little nervous about the photo shoot, that's all. It's our first time after all." Irine quickly changed the subject of the conversation and Yumi tried to encourage her with her words that everything will be fine.

Taehyung didn't get a chance to say a word though he wanted to calm their nerves but for the moment the photographer announced that they were ready to begin and he went to his seat.

The two girls looked at each other for a moment as they didn't know exactly where they were supposed to stand until a lady helped them by showing them where each should be.

It was a group photo shoot with the theme of a gala and Yumi happened to be next to the blonde model who was only known to her from the magazines. But despite all this, she was not embarrassed and neither did she show any shyness while she was by his side.

What does it matter if he was a model or a celebrity? She was no less beautiful than he was, nor was she worth less as a person. She was there to do her job and to leave an impression after all and she was ready to do just that.

Her concentration and her aura was something Irine couldn't help but envy at that moment as she couldn't help but feel so nervous at Taehyung's side where  she was placed.

As the camera started taking pictures she felt lost for a few minutes until Taehyung's hand found its way to her waist and brought her closer to his body, looking into her eyes with a smile.

Irine quickly realized that this act, although it had caught her off guard, had actually saved the photo as her position before had been very still. Despite this though, she couldn't help but feel her body heat up while she was in this close proximity with him.

The couples were then asked to take poses of dances like the waltz and tango which they as dancers knew well and they definitely had a chance at that moment to get the upper hand. The two girls felt more confident in themselves knowing that this was the moment the two of them would make a difference.

Yumi's hand showed the young man where it should be on her body as she led his body stance with an aura of superiority that made the young man wonder for a moment about the personality of this girl in front of him.

While unlike him who was somewhat overwhelmed by Yumi's existence, Taehyung was neither surprised nor overwhelmed. He was just lost in Irine's eyes and with a mind full of thoughts revolving around the parts of her body he so happened to be touching at that moment. A body he now knew pretty much how it looked like without the dress she was wearing.

He tried not to show where his mind was galloping but to his surprise, there was still an intense feeling between them, so intense that he forgot the existence of even the lens that were taking pictures of them.

All he could see was her and her face which was quite close to his. All he could feel was her skin and something about that fact made the minutes that passed by seem slower. The temperature was rising within him just as his gaze did and landed on her lips, a sight that for some reason made him want to get close to those lips at that moment even though he knew fully well that he shouldn't.

Taehyung certainly hadn't imagined that this day would turn out to be like this but at that particular moment, he found himself caught in a dilemma because he both wanted today to last forever and also wanted it to end as soon as possible.

Why was it so hard to be in her presence, so much so that he was losing control over his actions and thoughts, even though she had made it clear to him that the answer was no?

And even though he knew and had thought about backing out or giving up, in his heart he was conflicted about that decision and he knew fully well that he couldn't give up so easily, simply because it was rare for him to care about someone, and since it happened he couldn't help but try with everything he had to make that will a reality.

It most likely will not have been easy to change that 'no' she had told him into something positive. But he liked to think that nothing was absolute when it came to love and there still remained a chance for someone like him.

He might not have had much luck in the past when it came to love matters but he couldn't help but think that Irine might be the exception to his rule.

She could be the person who would love him and overlook all those negatives about him that he couldn't change.

With such thoughts and wishes, Taehyung continued his photoshoot. A photoshoot that he considered one of his favourites.
