Love On Set

The Closet

The next day, Zoe arrived at the studio buzzing with excitement. Today, they were filming a special episode of Going Seventeen, and she could already feel the energy in the air as the crew set up the stage and lights. She took a moment to gather her supplies, ensuring she had everything she needed for the day ahead.

As she made her way to the makeup area, she spotted Mingyu talking animatedly with some of the other members. His laughter rang out, and she felt a smile creep onto her face. It was refreshing to see him in his element, surrounded by friends and colleagues.

"Hey, Zoe!" he called, spotting her and waving her over. "You ready to make some magic today?"

"Absolutely!" she replied, her nerves settling as she approached him. "I've got a few fun ideas for your look. Are you up for something a little different?"

Mingyu raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Different? I'm all ears. What do you have in mind?"

"I was thinking we could play with some bold colours—something that really stands out for the episode. Maybe a pop of blue or green to match the theme?" she suggested, her excitement palpable.

"I love it! Let's do it," he said, grinning. "I trust your judgment." While she worked on his makeup, Zoe couldn't help but steal glances at Mingyu. The way he sat relaxed in the chair, chatting with the other members, made her feel more at ease. They exchanged playful jokes and laughter, the atmosphere in the room light and joyful.

Once she finished the makeup, she stepped back to admire her work. "Okay, I think you're all set! What do you think?" she asked, a hint of nervousness creeping into her voice.

Mingyu turned to the mirror, his eyes widening in delight. "Wow! This looks amazing, Zoe. You really nailed it!"

As the filming wrapped up for the first half, the crew gathered to watch a preview of the episode they had just worked on. Zoe settled into a nearby chair next to Kate, who looked tired but excited. Woozi sat beside her, rubbing his eyes as if trying to shake off fatigue.

"Long day, huh?" Zoe said, glancing at both of them.

"Yeah," Kate replied, stifling a yawn. "It's been a whirlwind. But I can't wait to see how it turned out!"

Mingyu bounded over to Zoe, a bright smile lighting up his face. "Hey, Zoe! Ready for a little adventure?" His excitement was contagious, and Zoe couldn't help but grin back.

"Adventure?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.

"Yep! I thought we could do a quick touch-up on my makeup before we dive into the next segment. Plus, I want to show you around the set—it's a lot more fun when you know where everything is!" He gestured enthusiastically, his energy sparking a sense of anticipation in her.

"Sounds perfect! I could definitely use a little tour," Zoe replied, grabbing her makeup kit and following him.

As they walked through the bustling set, Mingyu pointed out various stations—the hair and wardrobe areas, the props section, and even where the crew was preparing for the next shoot. "This is where the magic happens!" he said, gesturing dramatically.

Zoe laughed, enjoying his enthusiasm. "I can see that! It's amazing how much goes into making everything come together."

They made their way back to the makeup area, where Zoe quickly assessed Mingyu's look. "Alright, let's freshen you up a bit. Your eyes need just a touch more definition for the camera," she said, working swiftly and confidently.

As she applied the makeup, she couldn't help but steal glances at Mingyu. "You know, you make this all look so easy," she said, focusing on his eyes. "I'm impressed with how comfortable you are in front of the camera."
