Beauty Standards

The man knew he had been blessed by the Gods to have such exquisite features, if not he would have probably been shunned by the public with their all-out expense 'standards'. It wasn't a mystery to him that his motherland probably had one of the most unbelievable images of beauty but even if he'd like to change that it'd be one against millions, so he learned to shut up and pray in the shadows.

Now looking back there were only very few whom the most population considered extremely beautiful, lucky for him he was part of it. But he wouldn't brag about it too much because to say there were others too who greatly are outstanding;

One for example is Eunwoo-ssi, no signs of imperfection, his intelligence matches his looks and so more his talent. One of this generations best visuals.

His labelmate, Irene, wouldn't even compare to the standard. He'd say she IS the standard. And sometimes he had to ask his hyungs if she even ages.

But then there's this visual, Jisoo-ssi. There was nothing wrong with her, if anything her title suites her very well - 'Miss Korea'. The thing is Sehun doesn't know a thing about her. He likes to say she's a mystery because the only times he sees her are in magazines and photoshoots, nowhere else. So he'd just have to say that she is truly beautiful.

She is interesting per se, but her group is never seen plenty of times. Always locked up in what they feared 'the dungeon'.

So when Sehun sits down to talk in an interview he smiles all prettily. Nobody wants to be judged right? But when asked the question:

Who do you find the most beautiful in the industry?

He panics, what should he reply to that. It's a trick question to get him to answer their real questioned desires. Then he answers without thinking,

"I do find Jisoo-ssi quite beautiful..."

After that scene, he vaguely remembers what happens next but the day after it, he was trending. Trending for things that are way out of context.

Things like 'he's falling in love' or 'Visual Couple'. He pegged those to be mindless people who are most likely going through the stages of puberty where hormones are more rampant.

Then he feels bad for the latter and the sudden backlash she gets for simply being an answer.

'She's not even beautiful. I mean look at her huge nose!'

.

'I'd say her height is a huge defect to everything there is.'

.

'Uhhh, how could oppa choose her. She's like ugly to the point that I'm gonna puke.'

.

He frowns every time he reads those comments. Sehun feels the urge to defend her but that would do more hate than acceptance. Now he just thinks it is utter stupidity for everyone's standards and the way they portray details as huge factors to being a susceptible member of society.

So he comes to the conclusion that he is going to settle this with her once and for all. He got her number from a common friend and asked to come to his not-so-known hideout A.K.A. the restaurant in the east of Seoul.

When he finally got there he sat down on the very edge table, hidden from all the prying eyes, not that he'd be known since he wore extremely normal clothes and a thick scarf to cover up his face.

Then she finally rolled in, wearing a red beanie and sporting a black mask.

He stood up to greet her, "Good day, Jisoo-ssi."

"Good day to you too, sunbaenim."

Together they sat down on opposite ends of the table. She looked nervous as if at any moment someone was gonna pounce at her but she masked it with a hopeful demeanor even if it was painfully fake.

He shook his head before starting up, "I'm sorry for causing you all this trouble and making you come all the way here." Jisoo kindly nodded although she kept looking down.

He noticed she didn't like to look at his eyes.

"All I have to say is I'm sorry for giving you all those hate comments---"

"It's from the fans sunbaenim. They're not from you.", she finally looked at him and gave him the most sincere look she could muster.

Sehun frowned as he thought of those who called themselves his 'fans'. "They aren't fans Jisoo-ssi and even so they came up with those treacherous deeds because they're infatuated - some borderline obsessed - with my output."

He studied her for a second, she definitely looked stunning. How could they say this girl was even a tad bit ugly. Most of the hate comments simply stated he looked too good for her and she - dare he say - was not.

They kept silent for a moment before Sehun brought down his last words, "And on the contrary I find you very beautiful and ideal Jisoo-ssi."

Jisoo looked surprised as heat rushed up to her face, even if it was hidden behind her mask, Sehun could see her small ears giving it away.

"Thank you, sunbaenim."

They left together and went there separate ways but not before Sehun gave her a small grin and a thumbs up. She giggled at the gesture. He turned his back on her walking away.

A thought came up to his head before shyly shaking it and smiling a bit, "She could probably be my standard any day."
