You went to France with Jeongyeon, and since you practically started your new life leaving everything behind, at first it was hard, stress, and lost. But not a single day you skipped out gym training, French classes, and learning about skin care and make up, you did everything you need to do to improve yourself, while searching for what you really wanna do.

In a year, you drastically went from a crazy old ajuma to a very very beautiful young lady, even your parents won't even recognize you if they didn't walk close ( no surgical 😂 ). Although you are already 27, but you looked younger and sexier, of course you had more confidence in yourself.

Jeongyeon works as a famous supermodel in France, westerners love her asian features and she was the most popular asian supermodel.

When she saw potential in you, she started all the make up, styling, modeling, etiquette lessons on you, passed on all her modeling techniques and experiences. Finding out that she loves teaching modeling and she's quite good at it, she deiced to quit modeling and started her own production. It was a breaking news throughout the modeling industry. Everybody said it's too early for her to retire but she didn't regret one bit.

Her production's very first model was you. (Basically she's your best friend/ producer/ trainer/ manager)

Under Jeongyeon's training, you were learning fast and soon you were ready, she took you to the biggest audition of the year and although you were way shorter and older compared to the other attendees but you looked younger yet you have an aura of matured elegance. The love and pain in the past gave you more than just an experience, they serve as your strength, the judges loved how your eyes full with stories untold. You were mystery itself, and they all love you.

And they chose you?! You won?! You successfully caught all their eyes and won their hearts. Your first modeling work is to shoot for a fashion magazine, the results were more than they have expected, and they did an additional cover page of you, signed a whole year contract. Your name, your face, your looks and style was all over France after that issue of magazine was released.

Another 2 years working as a model in France, you're 29. It was a yearly fully booked of schedule, although you were not as very tall, legs not as long as the other supermodels but people love you.

The concept on you was the lovely, sexy and elegant, but that is just on the outside, and totally different on the inside. You are friendly, funny, kinda clumsy and very humble. People love the difference and gap in you, it's cute.

Almost all the designers want you to be in their fashion events and be your sponsors. Soon, projects of collaboration from Korea were arranged for you. You two decided to fly to Seoul.

== ✈️ Seoul, Korea ==

You took off your shades and inhaled the air of your home country. "After 3 years, to think we'd come back to Seoul." You said to Jeongyeon.

You two were very famous in France, but still not that known in Korea. People don't know you but they can't take off their eyes off you. Every person walked by can't help glancing at you. And you were wearing simple and casual.

Soon, your korean manager took the car and off you go to your new accommodation. A five star luxurious hotel.

The room was simple yet fancy, with big windows seeing the whole Seoul. You miss it so much.

After settling your luggages, you got ready.
Changed into an elegant outfit.

A dinner with the famous photographer and producer, you don't know who he is yet, but you heard he is a genius photographer and he himself is art.

You were excited to meet this person, and start your new modeling career in Seoul.

Jeongyeon and you went to a private room inside a five star restaurant, with the waiter leading the way.

When the door opened, a handsome man came close to you, and gave Jeongyeon a warm friendly hug. "Jeongyeon-nah~ oraenmanida (long time no see)!" He cheerfully said.

"Taehyung-ah! Jaljinaesseo? (How are you?)" Jeongyeon gave back a friendly hug.

"Yes, my friend." He answered with his deep voice.
"and of course, Hyerin-ssi! Nice to meet you." He took your hand and placed a gentle kiss.

Fluttered by his attractive looks, *Is he human?* you thought. *and he is even more handsome in person.*

You greeted with red blush on your cheeks, though you have lived in France for 3 years but you never got use to how they give friendly kisses and hugs. You shyly smiled and said, "pleased to meet you too."

It was a five star dinner but they made the atmosphere very casual. You found out that the two have known each other for a long time, they attended and trained at the same Arts School in France, turns out Taehyung originally debuted first as a model in France and he had more fans in Korea so he was sent to Korea for more projects and he became Korea's most wanted model of all times, and he started to explore the world of photography and was really loved by many people.
I mean who wouldn't, that face, those eyes, the look literally kills 😂

After a few conversations, you found him very easy to talk to. He was very nice and polite, not to mention, funny too. You relaxed and enjoyed the dinner time with them.

"So, Taehyung-a, do you have anything to do after this?" Jeongyeon asked.

"No. You have something in mind?" He gave a sneaky look, you can tell they must have been best friends, they synced, "kaja!!"

The both of them dragged you into the taxi.

== to pojangmacha (tent bar) ==

🍻 "krgh~ this is the taste!" The two synced again.

"Woah!" You expressed when you took a shot of soju too.

"Now, I really felt that I'm back to Korea. ㅎㅎ" you said.

"Yeah~" Jeongyeon agreed.

"So, Hyerin-na, I heard you haven't come back to Seoul for 3 years, don't you miss your family?" Taehyung suddenly asked.

You blanked, the first person who popped up in your mind was Jeon Jungkook!! Your eyes grew wide and big, because no one knew about your past except Jeongyeon, so you got surprised.

"I mean, your parents are in Korea right? Or do they live with you in France?" Of course Taehyung doesn't know, he meant your parents.

"Oh~ yeah~ they live here. I will go visit them tomorrow." You looked blushed, and nervous, and you took another shot of soju.

*Why is it that Jungkook was the first person who popped up. What am I thinking?! Dummy! Urgh!*

You were drinking fast and was soon knocked out.
Taehyung and Jeongyeon took you back to your suite, "So this is the mystery from the East. Quite cute." Taehyung smirked when he put you down on the bed.

"Yah! Although she looked strong and independent but she is very delicate, don't treat her like all the other girls." Jeongyeon warned Taehyung, knowing him as the international playboy.

"Ayo~ arraseo~ But I really like her a lot." Taehyung smiled.

"Yeah~ yeah~ sure~ you say that every time you see a beautiful girl, let's leave now and let her rest." Jeongyeon left pushing Taehyung out too, leaving you sleeping in your room.

== morning ==

*opens the door*
Jeongyeon came to your suite and pulled the curtains aside, inhaled. "Yah! Time to wake up!" She said in a loud voice.

"whut? mm... what? Jeongyeonni" You lazily got up form bed with squinted eyes.

Seeing the time, 8:57am, realizing you have a meeting in about an hour.

"Oh! SHOOT!!" You hurriedly went to fix yourself up. You were brushing your teeth and Jeongyeon waiting for you while having her coffee in the morning.

"Urgh! I'm bloated." You said as you looked yourself into the mirror.

"Time ticking.." Jeongyeon reminded you.

You hurriedly took a shower and applied make up.

== 10AM MEETING ==

Jeongyeon went to the restroom and you waited for her by the lobby.

Taehyung saw you and silently walked close From your back.

"Did you sleep well last night?" He softly whispered with his deep voice to your ear and sent chills down through your spine.

You startled and swiftly moved back, face flustered. "Oh! Taehyung-ssi."

"That's not how you called my name last night ㅋㅋ" He chuckled.

You looked troubled.
"C'mon, just call me by my name, we're buddies now."

"Tae..hyung..." you called his name with minimal voice. "I'm terribly sorry for my actions last night."

"Oh! That's nothing. I had a lot of fun." He said.

Jeongyeon came back from the restroom, and Taehyung escorted the ladies the way to the meeting room.

The meeting was to discuss about the concept of the whole photoshoot. You will be model for a cosmetic product, and will be releasing commercial videos, photo cards, posters, photo albums.. etc.

After the meeting, Taehyung invited you two to grab lunch but you refused as you have to visit your parents. You miss them.

"No, I want to visit my parents. You guys go enjoy your lunch." You said and was about to leave.

"Hyerin-nah~ you're not thinking of dropping by elsewhere, are you?"

"What? Where could that be?" You asked back and gave her a smile pretending not knowing what she was talking about and hopped into the cab.
