Song Recommendation: Don't Be Shy by Crush

I ended up talking with Jinhwan until about 2 am. It was nice, he was easy to talk to. Oddly enough, I expected idols to be different, more self-absorbed.

Morning came faster than I anticipated and soon enough I was standing outside of Daeho's office, knocking on the white door. He opened it with a dimpled smile on his face and a pair of bright, expecting eyes.

"Hey," my voice sounded rough in the morning but he didn't seem to mind.

"Good morning! Ready to get started?"

"Of course," I smiled back at him and he welcomed me into the office.

"As a stylist, it's your job to make sure the idols have their outfits prepared for events but you probably already know this. I hate to throw you into work like this but iKON has an upcoming showcase I will need you to prepare for. You can do your first plannings or sketches by yourself but you will also need to get the opinions of the members before dressing them. It is also perfectly okay to plan alongside them, which is what I prefer to do. It prevents miscommunication and you having to redo your hard work. I'll show you the studio that all the stylists share in the building."

He led me through a hall and into a large room with wooden workbenches and endless racks of clothes and fabrics.

"Here's the studio. This is where you come up with designs and put them together into masterpieces that can be shared with our idols.". We walked over to an empty workbench in the corner of the room. "This will be your table. You can do all of your sketches and planning here. When you put clothes together, just put them on an empty rack and label it with your name. I'll leave the rest to you so come to me if you have any questions."

"Thank you so much Daeho." He flashed me a bright smile before leaving me by myself in the studio. I pulled my black sketchbook out of my bag and took a seat at the table. Jinhwan told me that the showcase was for their most recent song 'Dive'. I decided to design some red jumpsuits similar to the outfits in the music video to keep the same theme. For an outfit change I designed some all white casual outfits, leaving it open to the members in terms of exactly what they wanted to wear.

I had my nose buried in clothing racks when I heard my name being called. A young woman dressed in business casual was standing in the entrance to the studio. She gave me a bright smile before waving me over to her.

"Hey, my name is Areum. I am an assistant here at YG. I am aware that you are a new stylist here and are close with iKON's current manager Soojung. As of right now Soojung is staying in the dorm with the members and since the showcase is coming up this weekend YG has requested that you stay in the dorm as well to be able to plan with the members as conveniently as possible." She handed me some paperwork as well as a keycard that I assumed would be for the dorm. "Are you comfortable with that?"
"Yes that should be fine. Thank you so much." She smiled at me.

"Of course. My number is on that paper so let me know if you have any questions or concerns." She then bowed to me and left the room. Her heels clicking as she made her way back down the hall. It was getting late so I decided it was probably a good idea to find Soojung and talk to her about bringing some of my stuff over to the dorm considering I still wasn't 100 percent sure where it was.

I packed up my bag and left the studio to begin navigating my way through the building. I managed to find Soojung's office where she was sitting at a computer, hyperfocused on whatever was on her screen.

"Soo.." She glanced up at me, her large eyes lighting up when our eyes met.

"Hey love, what's going on with you?"
