UNNOTICED: True Beauty Fanfiction

CHAPTER 32

The atmosphere is busy inside a small studio with a big white backdrops, studio lights, and a table full of makeup with a bunch of clothes hanged on the rack across it.

"Try looking at the side," the photographer said.

After a few clicks and few poses, they all call it a day and ended the photoshoot.

"Good work, Seojun!"

Seojun walked straight towards the dressing area and sat down as he sighed, "what a day."

He looked at the phone beside all the cosmetics laid in front of him before taking it.

"Hey, Seojun, we'll leave in a minute," Pilsoo said as he was packing his stuff.

"Yeah, sure," he said, not taking his eyes off his phone, typing a message then erasing it.

"What are you doing?" Jihoon said. He was watching Seojun typing and erasing the messages and it irked him for some reason.

"What do you mean?" Seojun asked, hiding his phone when Jihoon stood next to him.

"If you want to text a girl, do it! With that looks and that vibe, you've got nothing to lose, man!"

Seojun tsk-ed before heading out, "I'll be outside."

"What's your problem?" Pilsoo nudged Jihoon but he only growled at his friend.

When Seojun got out, he took his phone out again and clicked Hana's name. It's Saturday and he's sure she's studying for the exams. He doesn't want to be disturbing her at this time of the year where she's focusing on getting into a college she wants.

"Hey!" he typed then hit send.

He got a reply from her sooner than he thought, he guessed she must be on a break.

"Hey, Haseo."

He grinned, typing away his response, "What time will you be done studying?"

"I'm done for today."

Seojun was surprised at how early she finished everything she planned to review for a day. He checked the time and it was only 11:37 in the morning.

"That was quick. Wanna grab a bite?"

"Sure. Where?"

"I'll just come pick you up. On my way!"

At that moment, his friends, Jihoon and Pilsoo had gotten outside as well and loaded their stuff back into their car.

"Let's go Seojun," Pilsoo yelled.

"I'll head out. I have something to do," he said and didn't bother staying a little bit to hear what they had to say.

Walking towards the bus stop, he took his phone out and saw a text from Hana.

"I'll just cook for us then."

His eyes widen as he read the content of the message, he shook his head and blinked. He read it again, making sure he's not misreading anything. But it is what is written, she's going to cook.

"If you want to. I don't wanna bother you with that," he sent, wanting to make sure she wants to cook and wasn't forced.

"Silly. I'll cook."

He was smiling from ear to ear as he read her response. He felt bad going empty-handed when he spotted a bakery across the street. 'A cake isn't a bad idea.'

He went towards the pedestrian crossing, waiting for the green light for them to cross the road. When he got to the bakery, he was overwhelmed by the choices of cake. He wanted to choose one and surprise her but he's afraid he'd choose something she can't eat.

Seojun pulled out his phone from his pocket and called Jugyeong.

"Hey, Haseo~" Jugyeong teased when she picked up.

Seojun sighed, rubbing his palm on his face.

"I need your help," he said.

Jugyeong felt bad for teasing him as soon as she answers the phone. Hearing him being serious on the other line, he thought something must've happened to him. "About what?"

"What type of cake would Hana prefer?"

Jugyeong blinked her, couldn't believe she got worked up over a cake flavor, "a cake..." she said, disappointed.

"What's that tone?" Seojun asked.

"She likes strawberries," Jugyeong simply answered.

"Okay, thanks. I'll hang up now."

"Goodluck~" Jugyeong once again teased him.

Seojun pressed the red button and kept his phone inside his pocket as he looked at each of the cake, searching for a perfect strawberry cake.

Being a fan of sweet stuff himself, he's quite confident he'd pick something Hana would like and that she couldn't resist. After scanning each cake, he called out someone to take the cake out of the fridge.

"Have you picked one already, sir?" a staff asked him.

"Yeah, that one," he pointed at white frosting coated strawberry cake with three strawberry pepero sticking on top of it along with two strawberry fruit.

"Can I write on a card?" he asked the staff shyly.

"Sure, just pick out a card by the counter and we'll stick it to the cake," she smiled.

"Thanks," he said and headed to the counter to pick out a card.

He picked a white with simple designs in front and wrote down, "Goodluck on studying for CSAT!"

He hopped into the bus and received a text for Hana, "are you still in the studio?"

Seojun gulped before typing a response, "I just got on the bus. Sorry, I took so long."

"No worries, I'm still cooking."

He can hear Hana giggling and he didn't know why. He must be out of his mind and obsessed with her.

"Thank you, Han." he texted back.

"Thank you too, Han."

Seojun chuckled lightly after reading her response, earning a few glances from the people who heard him. He cleared his throat before closing his eyes in embarrassment.
