Lights illuminate the whole stage. This was the day they'd been waiting for. I mean, with all the circumstances they had to face, I myself am surprised they even got it done.
The launch of the SMK x HJ collection is to be released this evening! Everything was getting set up, from lights to chairs and, of course, the models!
You'd think the stage would look colorful, hence the theme, but Seungmin decided it would be better if it was plain white to make the collection stand out more.
In the midst of arranging everything, a hand lightly tapped on Seungmin's shoulder.
"Mr. Hwang, is everything good? If there is something you'd like to change with the setup, just inform me; this is a collab after all," Seungmin spoke.
After all those months of bickering, arguing, and fighting, they decided to actually keep things professional... well, because their managers were scolding them, but that's besides the point.
"Uh.. no, no, everything is good, but uhm.. don't you have to go to the stage with the models after the runway?" the taller questions
"Yeah, it's usually like that. Why'd you ask?" "Since it's a collab, don't I get to go as well?" Hyunjin asks with curiosity since he has no knowledge about these things.
"That would be appropriate, but aren't you keeping this anonymous profile, or are you perhaps planning to wear a mask because I can assure you that people would quickly recognize you?"
"Well, you see..."
"No." Jeongin says, clearly disagreeing with Seungmin. They have been doing that for the past five minutes now yet no one seems to give up.
"For the last time, Jeongin, I don't want to eat," Seungmin argued back. "You have been working your flat ass the whole day! The show starts at 6, for fucks sake. Look, it won't hurt to eat and rest for a bit." The younger spoke, clearly frustrated.
"He's right, you don't want to starve yourself when you have a big event coming up, Mr. Kim." Hyunjin appeared out of nowhere. "I found a restaurant nearby; maybe we should try it out?" Taehyun says.
That's how they ended up in this ramen place.
"Order all you want; it's my treat," Hyunjin says. "I can pay," Seungmin spoke. "How can you not accept free food?!" Jeongin exclaims. "Fine, finee. Just shut up," Seungmin uttered, not wanting the younger to complain more.
Everyone was enjoying the food, Seungmin surely was.
"You have sauce on your lips," Hyunjin pointed out. "Where? Here?" Seungmin wiped the side of his mouth. "No, no, other side." Seungmin then proceeded to wipe the other side of his mouth but still managed to miss the spot.
"Here, let me." Hyunjin then moved closer to the younger wiping off the sauce on his lips which left Seungmin flustered.
"What's wrong with me.."
The event was starting soon. Models are now getting dressed, and the guess are arriving.
"Nervous?" Seungmin asks, this was a big deal for Hyunjin after all. "Yeah, kinda," the other replied. "Why'd you decide to suddenly reveal your identity anyway?" Seungmin questions, curious as to why he kept his identity anonymous in the first place.
"I guess it's about time people know who's behind all those artworks," Hyunjin replies.
It was a bad idea to look at the crowd. Everyone was there! His friends, his parents, even his dog! God, he was nervous. The event has yet to start in five minutes, and it's already all over social media, but who knows, maybe people won't care much about his identity reveal.
And in 3 2 1, the first model gets on the runway, followed by the rest of the models.
How beautiful the collection was. They must admit, they work well together, creating masterpieces when talents combine.
And finally, the last model gets on stage.
That was the longest ten minutes ever! Seungmin gets on stage first, waving at everyone, then standing on the side.
Hyunjin soon follows.
Cameras flashing, people gasping- he was damn wrong about people not caring much about this reveal because he was trending now all over social media!
"My son is a famous painter, and he didn't even bother telling me!" The event was over, and Hyunjin had a handful of explaining to do.
"Care to explain, Mr. Hwang?" Minho says, "I'm still convinced he works in the mafia," Jisung adds. "I'll explain in the afterparty, I promise," Hyunjin says before leaving to talk to his mom.
"You guys are trending. Omg, look at this!" Felix shows Seungmin the posts and tweets about them, happy to know that there were no negative comments but...
@donimo : If only I knew that the artist would be this hot, then I would've bought all his paintings a long time ago!
@superboal : SMK never disappoints! I can't wait to buy the coat from this collection.
@venomnom : That nightgown is a NEED.
@thunderues : If I buy a blazer, does it come with the handsome designer? 😍😉
"Hot artist? pfft"
"Good work, love," the older says, hugging the younger.
"I didn't even do much; they were the ones designing and stuff," Jeongin replies. "Still, without you, they probably won't be working with each other in the first place," Chan utters.
"Hmm, good point."
"Enough sweet talk, you two! We have an afterparty to go to!" Jisung says, interrupting them.
"Are you sure you'll be fine with me going with Channie hyung?" Jeongin asks Seungmin. "I'll be fine, Jeongin. I have a driver, now go, i'll see you there." Jeongin then leaves.
Looking around and realizing that everyone was on their way to the afterparty, Seungmin soon went his way.
