chapter 1

Beomgyu sat as his desk, researching some concepts and outfits for upcoming photoshoot next week. It was a collaboration with another company and he was told to pitch in on helping with some ideas since he was gonna be one of the main models for the shoot.

He searched for a while but he found a dark theme with silk type outfits. It really caught his attention because it was never a style he had tried. He took a look at it more, in awe.

He uploaded some images and sent them to the stylist in charge of organizing most of the photoshoot.

"I found these, and it caught my attention right away. I think its a great inspiration for the upcoming shoot." he typed away in his email. He sent it a felt wave of relief come over him.

He eased back into his chair as it felt exhausting to help organize. Yes he was honored that they actually trusted him to help plan things but he was only a model and not any kind of organizer.

He had hoped that he would get a nice response because he didn't want to stay up any longer trying to dig more.

An email popped up after 2 minutes of him contemplating.

"Thank you Beomgyu, I really like what you've suggested. I will talk to the others and see what they think. It's a yes for me. But you've been a great help. please get some rest in preparations for next week."

He read the short response given to him and it was enough to make him feel at ease with the busy week up ahead.

He shut his laptop and immediately went to his bed and drifted off in the warmth of his bed.

                               
                                🌱

He woke up with the light glaring right at him, he didn't get much sleep. He groaned as he had woken up before his alarm. 'cant go back to sleep now.' he thought to himself. He stretched out his legs and arms before pulling the blanket off him.

He went and freshened up before checking his emails.

He opened his laptop and opened everything leading up to the important ones. Since he had time to pass, he popped in his ear buds and turned on his favorite music, he loved pentagon's music.

He the opened an email from his manager.

"This will be the style for next week." there was a link right under the message.

Beomgyu clicked on the link and it was similar to the outfits he had come across the night before. He was happy that a few hours of staying up later than usual actually paid off. 

He opened the next email, this time from his boss. 

"Next week will be a busy week for a few of you, so here's the schedule. Make sure you take care yourself and diet the right way we taught you all." As Beomgyu read it, it was exactly what he expected. Usually him and the other models would get notified about busy schedules and their strict diets they have to follow for a week before shooting. 

Beomgyu shut his laptop a little frustrated. He had been in the model industry for a little over a year and yet he still wasnt used to dieting all the time. He understood that he had to look closest to perfect for upcoming events but he always doing nothing when he wasnt at work. So he always had the urge to eat something. He was allowed to eat a fruit for breakfast, workout in the afternoon and for dinner he had to have avocado salad which was suggested by his manager because it was the healthiest from the choices and filled him up the most. He wasn't happy that he to do diet this week but he persisted through it.

He went into his kitchen and pulled out a bowl and chopped up a banana with a few berries and went back to his room. 

He made his way to his bed and sat there scrolling through his phone. "Mrs. Kang's new fashion line" an ad popped up on his instagram. He knew who exactly she was, she was a famous model. She doesnt model anymore but she has her own company and she produces many things for the modeling industry. He wasn't exactly fond of her but she was known well by him.

He kept scrolling till he found something eye catching. 

"Son of Mrs. Kang said to enroll in modeling." He clicked on the website, curious as to where he would be enrolling and maybe even what he looked like. Beomgyu always kept up with things going on in the model industry because not only was he a popular part of it but it always helped him in the future. Usually the other models would be disscussing this but he hadnt seen anything about it till now.

"Nobody knows what Mrs. Kang's son looks like, all we know is his name and age. His name is Kang Taehyun and he is 19 years of age"

'Interesting' he thought. 'How could someone like Mrs. Kang hide the identity of her son for as long as she has been modeling?' he sighed and put his phone down. As curious as he was, he had to wait and see. Beomgyu usually wasn't this interested in new people but the mysterious boy was roaming Beomgyu's head.
