I walked through the streets, without a mask, since mine had broke.

I tried to sew it back together when it slipped off when I was with Taehyung, but it only lasted a day or so and broke again this morning.

I got stares at the street, envious girls in awe, widened boys' eyes staring.

It kinda felt uncomfortable but it was better than having people stare because you were ugly.

Then a man came up to me, much older, with a card. A business card.

"What a beauty! May I ask your name?" He said enthusiastically.

Hyejin...

He paused for a second, his smile fading, then forming again.

"Hyejin! Lovely name for a lovely lady!" He said as he handed me the card. "Would you like to audition?"

I didn't understand what he meant. He clarified as a model.

Uh actually I have a contract on a job I have... I half-lied.

"But please consider it!" He said.

I sighed and told him I'd think about it, and he seemed satisfied, but then he asked for a picture.

A picture? But I'm not photogenic.

"Just one please! I'll even tell you what it's for and won't use it for any... awful purposes." He said as he held up the camera, ready. "I just want to show the agency, that's all."

The guy didn't seem he would leave if he didn't get a picture so I agreed, but there was one problem...

I had no idea how to pose or do.

I always avoided them, but I did see people on tv smile for one.

"Maybe if you looked a little more professional?" He said as he was in thought. "Here. Stand here. And look left of your shoulder..."

He positioned me towards the sunlight, and I must've been glowing because he clapped and people stopped in their tracks to stare. I was wearing a messy beige sweater, knitted, and a grey tank top under it, so the straps showed.

My hair was in a messy braid but he said I looked like a masterpiece and told me to smile for one picture, but then told me to have a blank expression for the next two.

I did what he asked and some people around me clapped, most of them were men or old women. I smiled at them and the the man came over and showed me the photos.

I looked beautiful.

The sun played a part as well.

"Magnificent." He said he scrolled through the photos.

I asked him to send them to me, and he agreed as I gave him my email.

I thanked him and we both left.

Man. It's amazing being beautiful.
