Unconditionally (BOOK 3)

The Next Big Thing

Wooyoung's POV:

"We seriously need to talk about this." I quietly said to San. I didn't want to speak too loud, only because Hyunjin started tracing out his plans on the wall. I figured he'd just paint the house one simple color, but he had something very different in mind. He refuses to tell me, but all I know is that it'll definitely be flowers, and that's just from personal speculation.

"Wooyoung, I really don't think it's right for me. Just because I can, doesn't mean I should."

"Well, I definitely don't want Hyunjin anywhere near modeling."

"I agree." Hyunjin's beauty is undeniable, but so is his lack of control. Although I'm slowly getting closer to believing he will permanently stay sober, this would be the type of thing to make him relapse. He would need something to take the edge off, something extreme.

"I was thinking Yeonjun? He's more modelesque than me, he's got the personality, he has the strength to handle it, he can do it. From what it seems, ESteem is looking for anyone."

I thought long and hard about it. At first, I was upset that they wanted to sign the next big thing. But then I realized they'd be putting their focus on someone else, meaning I wouldn't have to work as much. It would be like a weight off my shoulders. So now I'm determined to find the company's next top model.

"But would he want to?"

"Probably not." I sighed. "He really loves being a dance teacher."

"I'd say Yeosang, but he doesn't know the first thing about fashion."

We were both thinking long and hard about this. Hyunjin and San are off the table, Yeonjun is a maybe, Minho is a definite no, Yeosang is debatable. I'm not really sure who.

"Not to interrupt you guys," Felix said, walking towards us, "but what about me?" I'm shocked he heard us, considering he just walked in the door from the doctor's. His arm is finally healed so he was able to take his cast off.

"Can you handle something like this though?" Somehow I never thought of Felix. He's a beautiful guy, but he's always seemed so soft to me.

"I'm tougher than I look."

"Is this something you'd want to do?"

He nodded, seeming absolutely sure.

"Do you think you could give us a minute?" San asked. Felix nodded again and went upstairs. "I think he can handle it." He whispered.

"Are you serious?" I was truthfully shocked.

"He's changed over the years, you know that. He's definitely got tougher skin now than he used to. He's the whole package, just think about it. What's that thing where you can pull off both genders at the same time?"

"Androgyny?"

"Yes." San nodded. "That's what Felix has. He has a specific look to him that the agency would eat up immediately." Once I thought about it, I could definitely see what San was talking about. It's that 'angel factor' that Felix always possessed. "He can do cute, he can do sexy, he can do beautiful. Not to mention, he's got a great personality."

"And he's Australian. Those fuckers are naturally tougher than others."

"And being Minho's brother."

"Right." I nodded, putting all the pieces together.

"Do you think we should talk to Hyunjin first?"

"No, I'll tell him after." I stood up from the couch and stretched my arms. "Felix." I called out.
