MINGYU SCENARIOS

Status Part 1

Genre: Angst

Summary: Then again, you're just the makeup artist for the girl group that works with Seventeen. She sees him all the time while you just watch from behind.

"We're starting in 5! I need you to hurry Chaerin!" Yeri whined and you nodded your head. Putting on the finishing touches, you signaled for her to go and she rushed to line up for the entrance.

"Now, Seventeen is going to work with a new girl group called FliHigh! Let's welcome them on stage shall we?" You hear Jaesuk announce in his perfect MC voice and you couldn't help but feel excited.Will they look good? Did I do a good job? Peering at the screen of the main camera, you took a peek at the 4 bright girls on stage and you couldn't help but feel proud. They look great! Leaning back on the wall and closing your eyes, you waited for the next break to come when you had to touch up all of their makeup yet again.

"Hello! My name is Kim Mingyu and I'm looking forward to working with you!" Your ears perked up at the sound of a voice and you opened your eyes as you stood up. Wow.

There, stood a tall guy with beautiful brown hair. From what you heard, Seventeen's rappers would be working with FliHigh for a collab kind of thing. Each rapper would pair with one of the FliHigh members to do a song each. Seeing Yeri stand extra close to Mingyu, you guessed that she would be the one pairing up with him. Somehow, you felt bitter inside as she was the meanest one in FliHigh and perhaps also because you felt a tinge of jealousy. What am I even jealous about? Yeri is an idol and so is Mingyu. I'm just a makeup artist. Shaking away the stupid thought, you sat back down against the wall and closed your eyes once again.

"You look beautiful today Jieun!" Although you tried to shut out all the noise, you could still hear Jaesuk's unavoidable voice booming into the microphone.

"Owe it all to Chaerin, my lovely dongsaeng!" What? At the mention of your name, your eyes shot open and you rushed to the standby area. Did I miss something out? Do I need to do another touch up? You were scared that you somehow heard things wrongly or that you missed something out so just to be safe, you went to the front in case they needed you.

"Ah, I assume that lovely young lady there is Chaerin, your makeup artist? Let's give her some recognition! FliHigh looks spectacular today!" Jaesuk pulled you up on stage and you looked at the cameras angled at you all around. Swallowing nervously, you bowed 90 degrees and smiled before running off stage. Jieun had always been the member closest to you and you couldn't believe that she singled you out like that.

"Okay now, back to the interview!" You sighed and plopped onto the floor. At least being on stage is better than being scolded for making a mistake. Being so awake now, you had no intention of sleeping. So, you looked up and watched what was going on. Suddenly, Mingyu's face turned from Yeri to the staff and his gaze landed on you as he smiled. Oh gosh what should I do? After a second of panicking, you simply smiled back and he nodded his head slightly. Mingyu just smiled at me, didn't he?

———-

"Break time!" You got up and prepared the cosmetics.

"Chaerin!" Glaring at Jieun, you walked up to her and talked as you touched up her makeup.

"What did you think you were doing?" You hissed.

"Well, I just wanted the whole world to see your beautiful face my little dongsaeng~" Jieun cooed and you scrunched up your nose.

"You see? You're so adorable!"

"Unnie, are you really fangirling over me now?" You joked and she laughed. After putting on the other 2 members' makeup, it was Yeri's turn and you put on your best smile.

"Mingyu seems as if he likes me isn't it?" Yeri commented and you just smiled.

"Maybe." Yeri rolled her eyes and walked away after you signaled that she was done. What attitude.Packing up your things, you walked to your bag to grab your phone.

"Chaerin?" Spinning around, you came face to face with Mingyu and you almost screamed.

"Mingyu? Is there anything I can help you with?" From training, you have been taught to treat all idols with respect as they were in a higher position than you.

"Ah, don't sound so formal! I just wanted to get to know you better!" Mingyu laughed. Get to know...me?

"Get to know me better? There's nothing much about me really. I'm just FliHigh's makeup artist. If you want any help with wooing Yeri though, I can tell you her favourtite foods, colours and stuff though!" You grinned and he frowned.

"There must definitely be something about you! Like your hobbies, your dreams. And don't get the wrong idea! I don't have feelings for-"

"Mingyu! Come here! Let's get to know each other better yeah? Manager wants us to! He'll be fixing up dates for us to interact and stuff! Let's go! Oh and Chaerin, he says that you can leave." Yeri came barging into your conversation and dragged Mingyu away. What did you do? You simply bowed and left. After all, you were just a makeup artist.
