CHANYEOL

"Chanyeol-ssi, can you please hold up the bottle higher and closer to your face?" The photographer asked.

I followed what he wanted me to do and looked straight at the camera. I kept a strong and stern expression because I wasn't in the mood to smile.

"Chanyeol-ssi, can you try to soften your expression please?"

I ignored him and did another pose, he kept taking photos nonetheless. As flashes of the camera were on me, I can't help but ponder on her reaction earlier. She looked afraid and uncomfortable earlier, when I apologized.

When I saw her bruise, I felt like a total shit. It was really bad. It was really purplish and it was swollen. She's so stupid, why didn't she apply compress on it? I thought she took a day off from work because she was gonna treat it? What was she doing on her day off? Slacking off?

"Chanyeol-ssi, please look at the camera." The photographer called.

I rolled my eyes. I followed him and looked at the camera. Stupid shoot. Stupid venue.

She wasn't on the van with me because she told the driver she had something urgent to do. She said she'll be here to catch up and look after me. What am I, a kid?

"Chanyeol-ssi, please focus."

I sighed and stopped posing. The CEO that was supervising the shoot started to talk to me.

"What's wrong? Don't you like the concept? I thought you already approved it?" He asked.

I sighed, "I just need a break. I'm not feeling well."

He shook his head, "Chanyeol-ssi, we're running out of time. We haven't even taken a single decent photo of you."

I glared at him, "Then find another celebrity to endorse your product."

I was about to leave him dumbfounded but I was stuck on my place when I saw Heeyoung enter the venue. She was smiling widely as she greeted the staff. She searched the room and her eyes stopped at me. She smiled brightly before walking towards me.

"Annyeonghaseyo. Heeyoung-ibnida. Is there any problem here?" She politely asked the CEO.

The guy sighed, "Chanyeol-ssi wants a break but we're running out of time. The photos are bad."

I opened my mouth, "Ya~ how is that my fault? Why don't you -"

I was cut off when I felt Heeyoung's hand tightly grip my wrist. What? Is she trying to get back at me for hurting her wrist?

"Ah, I see. Jeosonghabnida. Can't you give him even a ten-minute break? He came here immediately after practice so he isn't in a good condition. Please understand daepyo-nim." She said in her puppy eyes.

Heol. Is she doing aegyo? In front of the representative?

"Alright, please just ten minutes. We need to wrap up by five in the afternoon. Arasseo?" The guy surprisingly agreed.

"Ne, kamsahabnida. Thank you so much." She said as she bowed and pulled me out of the venue and dragged me to the van.
