The Half to my Whole

Chapter 4

Leo's P.O.V

Busan, South Korea 

12:00 PM

    We just finished eating and we're about to go to a Korean temple, but of course not until the girls yet again went to another sweets shop to buy desserts. I sigh as I watch the girls enthusiastically choose their desserts, their eyes twinkling like a kid in a candy store. Well... we are kinda in a candy store.

I looked at the certain cat eyed woman carrying sweets with both of her hands while still choosing with her eyes.  I chuckle in amusement, shaking my head. Despite being an adult she can be such a kid huh.

I walk towards her and take the boxes of dessert from both of her hands without saying a word. She looks at me suspiciously with furrow brows.

 I shrug, "Don't worry I won't eat it, I'll just take this so it can be easier for you to pick more desserts. "I say nonchalantly. 

She hesitantly nods then goes back to getting more dessert. I look at my sister who is yet again smirking at me. I roll my eyes when she starts approaching me. She holds up her own boxes of desserts. I look at her, lifting my right eyebrow as her smirk turn into a grin, "It's unfair that you would only hold Jennie's desserts, hold mine too..." she trails off, her eyes glinting at me, "Unless you only want to hold Jennie's" she says mischievously. 

I sigh and take her boxes of dessert that she was holding up. She grins widely, "Good boy" she says then walks away, returning to the other girls.

     Finally, after what it feels like a century we finally left the dessert shop and was now in a Korean temple. After praying, we went to find a good place to take a picture. 

"Alright, 1..2...3...Smile!" The guy says as he snaps a picture of us on my camera.

"Thank you" I smile towards the middle aged man and he nods, giving back my camera.

"Well, I'm not surprised that you're also interested in photography like your sister" Jisoo comments as I look at the picture of us.

"I joined the photography club when I was in 7th grade since I love the serenity of nature." I reply.

We all walk towards the car since the only reason we came to the temple was just to take a picture. My sister pulls Jisoo and Chaeyoung towards the seat which can hold up to 3 persons, leaving me and Jennie to sit beside each other. I glare at her making her smirk and wink at me. Jisoo and Chaeng looks at my sister, confused. I look at Jennie who just shrugs, giving me a blank look then sits near the window. I sigh and sit beside her.

15 minutes through the ride, Jennie and I are silent, with neither of us making a move to attempt a conversation with each other while the three girls at the back were chattering. 

" By the way Leo, why did you go here in Korea?" Chaeyoung asks.

I look back at them, " I'm here for a photoshoot and for an event."

"Oh nice, for what magazine or brand are you gonna model for?" Jisoo asks, I was about to answer when my sister interjects, "Oh he says that it's a surprise." 

 I frown my eyebrows at her. It was not a surprise, she knows what brand I'm gonna model for.  

"Right Leo?" Lili asks with a wink, signaling me to agree with her. I nod, slightly confused with my sister's action.

  "Aww..." Chaeng pouts and Jisoo chuckles.

 Thank God after a few hours of sitting on the car I can finally stretch my long legs. Fuck, being tall has its disadvantages too. I bid goodbye to the girls, leaving one final glance to Jennie and went back to my hotel. It was already 9:30 pm and I have a shoot tomorrow at 10 am.

Seoul, South Korea

8:30 AM

      I put on my ripped black jeans and an Adidas sweatshirt underneath my denim jacket. I slip on my sneakers and went down to the lobby to meet up with my manager. 

 He was wearing his usual business suit, his hair slick back. Once he saw me, he immediately signals me to follow him into the car. We hop in the car and then starts doing his usual routine, sermon, "Alright, Leo I want you to behave during this photoshoot-" I cut him off, "I'm always behaved Chai and don't be so rigid, your name literally means, a lively person filled with joy, yet you're the polar opposite." I smirk at my manager, who then glares at me, "Thank you for your concern," he says sarcastically then continues, " but your concern is unneeded, and if you do something stupid again Leo, I swear to God that I'm gonna kill you. You're the face of the company and the brand, your actions reflect the company so be a good boy, also the director of this photoshoot is very famous, and you're not the only one who will model, you have a partner." 

 I raise an eyebrow in question, " But the contract didn't say anything about me having a partner."

 "The company called me last night and they said that they scored a last minute contract to a very famous person. They didn't waste time and just declared her as the face of their brand along with you." my manager replies.

 "Who is it?" I ask

 "They didn't tell me who." my manager responds.

 Who might it be?

 After 30 minutes of driving we finally arrived at the location of the photoshoot. We were greeted by the kind staffs. The director of the photoshoot came up to us with a smile on his face, he was probably in his mid 40's,

"Hello you must be Leo, my name is Choi Chan Woo." he extends his arm for a handshake, which I immediately grasp his hand for a firm a handshake, giving him my business smile, "It's a pleasure director Choi. This is my manager." I point to Chai who is in my right.

 Chai gives him his business respectful smile and shakes hand with the director, "Please take care of us today director." 

 It's great that Chai knows Korean because of her wife, while I knew Korean because I learned from my Korean classmate back in Thailand. It's a miracle that Chai even marry because he's too rigid and serious and really scary when he's angry.

 "No problem, now we're only waiting for your partner....which by the way just arrived." The director smiles then takes a step on his right in order to see better, since he probably couldn't see the person's frame because of my height.

 I follow the director's gaze and I feel my eyes widen slightly from the sight of a familiar cat eyed woman, and 3 other girls trailing her. I observer her face, her eyes widen slightly which is probably from the same shock, her small pouty lips turns into a small 'O' shape and her eyebrows crease higher.
