chapter one

Jeongguk's POV

"Hey, thank you for meeting me. And I apologize for being late." I offered a shake hands to her. She smiled and accepted it.

"I ordered you a drink already, if that's okay." Tzuyu says to me, I nodded and said "Ofcourse. I'm embarrassed now, since I'm late yet you bought me a drink."

"My manager told me you wanted to collaborate with me?" Tzuyu says, I smiled and sipped the coffee.

I shyly scratch the back of my head and said, "Yeah. I mean, if it's okay with you.. If not that would be alright, I just-" I stopped since she's laughing.

"Sunbaenim, that's okay. What do you plan for our first collaboration?" She asks,

"I honestly didn't think this through.." I shyly laughed, she smiled and nodded. "That's alright. What about we consider our pending brand deal?" She suggested.

"Hmm, let's look at your pending list then mine. After that we can choose, sounds fair?" Tzuyu nodded. "But first, do you want any pastry? You only ordered a drink, we might take awhile."

Tzuyu's POV

I shook my hands as a rejection, "I'm fine, sunbaenim."

"We should probably drop the formalities, how old are you by the way?" He asks, "I'm a 99-liner, sunbae."

"I'm a 97! Guess that's an oppa for you?" He cheekily says, I laughed and said "Alright then, oppa?"

"What should I call you then?"

"Tzuyu is fine." He nodded, "I'll come up with a good nickname, wait for it Tzuyu-ah!"

After a nice 10minute scroll through our email, I already have in my mind. I took a bite with my crepe, Jeongguk oppa ordered me one insisting I should eat haha!

"So, what do you think?" He says, "I go first or you go first?"

"I go first!" I said, he nodded. "I like BP clothing line. They're street style & I never done a shoot like that before." I reasoned out, carefully looking at his reaction hoping he chose the same one..

"Oh, I actually chose BT Apparel." I looked at him and waited for his reason, "Their concept is a mix and match which is different and a new image to me."

We both sighed and looked at each other. Then we laughed, "I didn't expect for us to sigh together." He says, I nodded. "So what do we do? How do we choose?"

I shrugged, "Actually, why don't we do both?" He says.

I looked at him confused, "Okay hear me out. Since BT Apparel is your brand deal and BP Clothing Line is mine, we can both ask them if we can do it together? Atleast we didn't choose."

"That's not a bad idea, oppa. I'll talk to my manager about that." I said

Jeongguk's POV

We high-fived each other and finished our drinks.

We talked about our journey into the model industry, how we both casted and how we started. I actually spent a good time with her, I know we both just met but we instantly became close.

Sadly it's time for us to go since Tzuyu still has a meeting to attend to,

"I really had a great time today, oppa. and I'm sorry for leaving early." Tzuyu says while packing her things, "early?" I looked at my watch, "We've been talking for 3 hours!" We both laughed.

"So where's your manager?" I asked, "He said he'll be here in 15minutes but I have to go now or else I'll be late in my meeting." She anxiously said,
