Honestly, Sehun should have known, but he was a bit hopeful for a decent outcome.

But the photoshoot was a mess.

The young heir would have thought that since Mirasol was a professional model's twin, she would have picked up some tricks. That doesn't seem to be the case here. The fake model's true colors were showing, no indication that she could've been the more sociable Choi sister. That stiff body, the awkward expressions, the shy and reserved poses; it was getting ridiculous.

He thought he could wade it out a little longer, but they were all just wasting time.

"Jovelyn, are you alright?" Tao asked after a round of pictures taken. He and Luhan were getting a bit impatient as well, just wanting to reveal that the girl before them was not who she is. "You don't seem like yourself today."

Mirasol was quick to straighten her pose and bow profusely at the three men and the crew. She really was trying. "I'm sorry, I'm just... a bit nervous."

"Just flaunt it like you usually do," Luhan chimed, coming to a last resort. The Chinese man then walked over to the side of the room, where a Bluetooth speaker sat on the counter. "Maybe some music could loosen you up?"

With a press of a button, BlackPink's As If It's Your Last began bouncing off the room's walls. Much to the boys' surprise, a genuine smile had etched onto the model's face once recognizing the song.

And dear god, it was a gorgeous smile.

Luhan stepped towards Mirasol and attempted dancing along to the music. Grabbing onto her hands, he tried to get her to dance to the beat-heavy tune. Eventually, the woman got lost into the music and danced along with him. The smiling and laughing with the blasted music, the atmosphere instantly was a fun one, even some of the staff had to bop along with the music.

Sehun was appalled. Wasn't it just minutes ago when she was doing a crap job?

"This is really good," Tao said as he stepped over to the young heir. The photographer showed the shots he had just taken with Mirasol and Luhan to him. The pictures turned out very well, and to Sehun's honest opinion, they were better than the ones with Jovelyn. Definitely better.

It was then he realized what was missing from Jovelyn's photo shoot.

There was no warmth, no sincerity to the shots. As gorgeous Jovelyn had looked, she seemed too professional, far too bland in Sehun's eyes. Maybe she had such an impact at auditions because of her goal of nabbing the job in the first place. And it was that tenacity that made her attractive...

But this beauty right now was what Sehun's Bravad-Oh needed.

Mirasol was dazzling.

"She's still a bit far from being a pro at modeling, but she's got this attractive factor to her," Tao murmured, his eyes on the still dancing pair, the song now changed to GOT7's Fly. They looked to have their own little dance party, lost in the music. "If only the twins were one person, we would have our perfect model."

"Well, this is only the second round of pictures. We probably haven't seen Jovelyn's full potential."

"Eh, I guess you're right."


In the midst of the pleasant situation, there was a sudden odd, cold aura that filled the room the moment they all heard the doors open. At this, Sehun saw Mirasol and Luhan freeze instantly, their gazes at the entrance for the visitor.

An older man in his fifties approached the two, while as everyone around quickly bowed as he passed. The man was suited up quite nicely, a grey colored business suit with a blue button-up and a darker blue tie to match. Just upon seeing him, anyone could feel the power dripping off him exceedingly. And in Mirasol's eyes, he had the same kind of feeling that Sehun gave her.

"Hello, you must be Sehun's new model," the man greeted the sheepish girl. "Also, hello again, Luhan."

The Chinese man bowed to him before nudging Mirasol's side. "This is Oh Hyun Min-sshi, the CEO of Oh Corp."

"Wha, really?!" Mira then pressed her lips together and warmly smiled at, supposedly, Oh Sehun's father. She has to compose herself for the sake of her sick sister. Calm and collected, right?

"Ah, hello, I'm Choi Mir--" She stiffened, her face flushed beet red at her mistake. After a day of doing well at pretend, just now she messes up?

"Abeoji, this is Choi Jovelyn," Sehun cut in, suddenly standing by the girl's side.

Oh thank the lords, Mirasol weakly thought. A sigh of relief left her lips, and she couldn't help but give her neighbor a thankful glance for introducing her properly.

"Choi Jovelyn, a lovely name for a lovely lady. Foreign, isn't it?"

"Yes sir, I'm half Filipino," Mira uttered in response, once finding the courage in doing so.

"Well, Jovelyn-sshi, welcome to the team, I hope you would be joining us for the team dinner."

"Team dinner?" Sehun questioned, as this was the first time he had heard this.

"Yeah, I wanted to throw a dinner for your first day at the shop and well, I am kind of late. It's still the beginning of these promotional shots for your shop, so I want to treat the whole crew when I can."

"That's quite nice of you, abeoji," Luhan chimed with a soft smile. "Jovelyn, you should take this advantage, we'll probably go out to eat somewhere nice if CEO-nim is treating!"

"Sh-Should I?"

"Of course! You're one of us now, aren't you?" Hyun Min chimed with a kind smile.

Mirasol has to make a good impression on the CEO of Oh Corporation. This was a good opportunity to gain some good points for her sister's sake. She would be doing some good, wouldn't she? "I guess I am."
