Lily was born two years before the Soulmate serum, Amorium, was released to the public. The fairy tales told to her by her mom while she was growing up were slightly reworked to ensure that little Lily knew the prince and princess of the story were...

I considered changing this chapter's name to Jimin's Who, but I think I will reserve that for later in the story.

After the meeting, I turned to Gamon-hyung. "I think I am going to go out for a while. Take a walk. Get my head on straight."
"Don't stay out too long. The air is brisk, and you have that photoshoot later. You don't want to catch a cold." He affectionately warned me.
I shook my head. "Don't worry. I'll be fine."
He nodded in response. "I'll have to fill in the others, and other than your photoshoot I'm going to clear anything else on our schedule today."
It was my turn to nod, before donning a hoodie and facemask then facing the autumn chill. I direly needed to get some space between myself and this situation for a little while, and I was sure that the crispness in the air would help with that. I had to retain a work oriented focus before my photoshoot; I needed to at least be able to push everything else plaguing my thoughts to the back of my mind. I headed to a nearby park and lost myself to the scenery around me.
I was so thankful for those couple of hours to myself because it gave me exactly the peace that I was looking for, exactly what I needed to regain my concentration on the job at hand. Although the woman currently retouching my makeup isn't really maintaining any kind of professional decorum, and is most definitely trying her damndest to distract me while I'm not in front of the lens and lights. Her flirtatious looks and touches are innocent enough that a random bystander would think nothing of it, but if they could hear the obscene suggestions whispered from that tempting mouth of hers then they would know that this woman was anything but virtuous. Admittedly though, I'm hardly a saint myself.
I genuinely try to maintain a hands off approach when it comes to the overt flirtatious fans who want a literal piece of me. That doesn't mean I haven't dallied with a woman that has shown me interest before. Almost the opposite in fact. What can I say? I am a hot blooded male who has needs. Perhaps, despite my attempt at restraint now, I will indulge in some of her more creative suggestions after we wrap this up. It would definitely be something enjoyable and help keep my mind off of the other shit that's going on. Hmm. At the very least I think I should remember to get her phone number after the shoot is over. She might not tempt me now, but having her number to seek her out at a later time couldn't hurt. She's beautiful and obviously more than willing.
