Hyeri made her way to the HYBE building, feeling a mix of trepidation and irritation. She wasn't a fan of K-pop, but she had agreed to do a photo shoot for ENHYPEN's upcoming album on the insistence of her friends brother , Sunoo. As she entered the building, she was met by a surprised look from the ENHYPEN manager.

"Hyeri?" he said, surprise in his voice. "I didn't expect to see you here."

Hyeri tried to hide her annoyance, forcing a polite smile. 
"Yeah, Sunoo convinced me to do the photo shoot," she explained. "But before we get started, I wanted to discuss the conditions for the album." 
The manager looked slightly perplexed, clearly unused to dealing with someone like Hyeri. 
"Of course," he replied, leading her to a conference room. "Let's discuss the details."

Once they were settled in the conference room, Hyeri got straight to the point. 
"I have some requirements I want fulfilled if I'm going to do this shoot," she stated firmly. "First, I want creative control over the photos. I'm not going to just be another person following instructions." 
The manager looked a bit taken aback, but he composed himself quickly. 
"That's quite unusual," he said. "The agency usually prefers to have control over the visuals."

Hyeri, unfazed by the manager's hesitation, continued. 
"Well, I'm not most photographers," she replied bluntly. "I have my own style and vision, and I want the freedom to shoot the way I see fit. If that's a problem, then I'll walk."

The manager was clearly caught off guard by Hyeri's firm stance, but he quickly tried to salvage the situation. 
"Okay, okay. We can discuss creative control," he said, trying to remain diplomatic. "But let's also talk about your rate and how much time you'll need for the shoot."

Hyeri continued to be upfront about her demands. 
"I'll give you a reasonable rate, nothing extravagant," she stated. "And as for time, I usually need at least one day to get the shots I need. Maybe two if the concepts are complex."

The manager appeared relieved, but he still seemed wary of Hyeri's bluntness. 
"One or two days should be workable," he conceded. "We'll need to discuss the concepts and themes for the album, though. Do you have any preferences or ideas in mind?"

Hyeri leaned back in her chair, thinking for a moment. 
"I prefer shooting natural, raw moments," she said. "Nothing too posed or artificial. I want to capture the group's personalities and chemistry, not just their looks."

The manager nodded, taking notes on Hyeri's requirements. 
"I see. So, you're more interested in capturing their authenticity rather than simply creating polished, perfect images." 
Hyeri nodded, her expression serious. "Exactly. Authenticity is what I strive for in my photography."

Hyeri stepped out of the conference room with the ENHYPEN manager, her expression still somewhat stern. As they approached the group, Heeseung immediately took notice of her. 
"Hey there," he said with a flirty smile, intending to charm her. "You must be the photographer we've been waiting for."

Hyeri eyed Heeseung skeptically, unimpressed by his attempt at flirting. 
"Yes, I am," she replied coolly. "And let me make something clear from the start. I'm not interested in any flirting or funny business. I'm here to do a job, and that's it."

Heeseung, slightly taken aback by Hyeri's straightforwardness, chuckled nervously. 
"Ah, got it," he said, trying to play it cool. "Just business. No flirting. Got it." 
Meanwhile, the other members of ENHYPEN exchanged amused glances, clearly entertained by Heeseung's failed flirting attempt.
