AS THE photoshoot wraps up, Yeseul steps off the set, feeling a mix of relief and exhaustion. She heads to the changing room to get out of the elegant emerald green dress and into her usual comfortable yet casual attire. Meanwhile, Heeseung is busy reviewing the photos on his camera, looking for the perfect shot that could be included in the portfolio.
After changing, Yeseul grabs her bag from the corner of the room. She remembers the vintage camera that she impulsively bought from the store and tucked it into her bag before the shoot. Curious a bit, she pulls it out again, turning it over in her hands, trying to figure out how to operate it. The camera feels heavier than she remembers, and it's odd design give it a peculiar charm.
Heeseung, still focused on his digital camera moves closer to show her some of the photos he took. As he leans over, she absentmindedly fiddles with the vintage camera's buttons, not realizing that her finger is on the shutter. In a swift, unexpected moment, the camera clicks silently, capturing Heeseung's candid expression as he's caught off guard. She looks down at the camera, surprised by the lack of flash or shutter.
Yeseul tries to shut off the camera but it won't respond. It's as if the camera has a mind of it's own. She presses the power button again, harder this time, but nothing happens. Confused, she checks the battery compartment, only to find everything looks normal. "Did I get scammed by that old man?" she mutters under her breath, feeling both frustrated and bewildered.
He glances over, noticing the puzzled expression but unaware of what just happened. "What's wrong?" he asks casually, still flipping through the photos on his camera.
"Oh, nothing. Just this stupid old camera. I thought it worked, but I guess I was wrong," she replies, deciding not to make a big deal out of it. She tosses the camera back into her bag with a sigh, figuring it's just another failed vintage find.
"You did...good, by the way," he finally says, the hesitant tone in his voice visible as there's an unspoken tension in the air.
"I did?-" she stammers.
"You do have potential as a model," he looks up at her as he puts the camera back in his bag.
The Lee Heeseung complimenting her?
"Oh, thanks," she let out a faint, small smile that he had never realized was so pretty.

Yeseul leans back against her couch, staring at the camera that's peeking from her tote bag. She feels a small nagging sensation, but she brushes it off. Just as she tries to relax, a soft knock echoes from the door.
