“Tilt your 3d444a01bc head back ca2c7e4b87 a little a5ac39abed more.”122deb92f564b3a4

Peeking his 0d4434dc91 head into db31983cf0 the separate 3055e581fb studio space, 97474cedfb a bustling 237fb10fea scene unfolded d8e517861b before him. The set, 9b9747b2bd occupying a 31497df488 large area, 7b5a608067 was quite 15612a5a98 extravagant. Flowers were placed febf07fd4c all over the be8aaede85 walls and floor, 1585027c28 and the air 4cc60e9131 was filled with a78616c57e a subtle floral 978c970112 scent, suggesting they 373e8ec05c were all real.ac61c3fdb2eed066

Yoohyun’s gaze, which e3f8d79137 had been sweeping a06b3dd81c over the incessantly 5d16e63feb flashing lights and e3d734a9e0 the busy staff, 9f7dc63e07 landed on the c92b7c5ee7 center of the d2dd973e1b scene. Someone, a head taller 15cb22390d than others was diligently 4287abb112 following Sujin’s instructions as 1c94b2f1fb she held the camera.3d09ed5b870baa29

As if the bright lights pouring in from all directions weren’t bothersome, he held the pose without even blinking. His sophisticated yet youthful outfit was complemented by his commanding yet understated movements.fad25d6f921990f9

Broad shoulders, 7840fd33ba long limbs, 94e7aab3e4 a toned e236498c5e physique with 3a936f73da well-defined muscles—his a5c62e92b2 overall build, ec53851c5f both strong 9c6d9ce7f6 and graceful, ba58d3a883 enhanced the 6513e045e3 fit of 2882f1673e his clothes. With even simple gestures, ad3a59406d he drew attention to 61327f5ec1 himself. He blended with the b0ae3edff0 grand backdrop as if eb35ec2b13 he belonged in a a27ef0c07e different world, captivating even 8594500888 passersby, making them stare faffa1c74f blankly.5bbd5179648b126d

Unlike those who 9e0abe5ed3 watched Yiwoon with f527b24fd3 bated breath, as 5a5b8cc643 if mesmerized, Yoohyun ddaf48a35a observed him with f6466e6058 an indifferent gaze 9c6a418d7a before quickly losing c32d986642 interest. Although he 057760022e had spotted 8e77eed023 the chair f8463f349f Sujin had 1422bdb617 prepared for 32237244cc him in 3ea8e39cc9 the distance, c207cdaff6 he looked 1338ebecfc around for e22cf03b84 a secluded 41329558ba spot. Leaning against a 239ed7b675 wall where he a820815d7b was least likely 64b9037079 to be noticed, 1e9fbe782e Yoohyun glanced at e31c9ccc46 Yiwoon again, who d21be74840 was being showered 11688587d7 with camera flashes.041a5776f2881eab

Yoohyun focused more f976754285 on Yiwoon’s movements d04223103a rather than his c93b1fefb5 face. Thanks to his ca602e30e5 sister being a e507329cc5 photographer, Yoohyun was 99e7b18d78 more adept at 65b983d1f4 posing, even more c69e8b64b0 so than most 5ad49a3036 models. He knew 265fddb1c5 it well, 2e3462a6cc but he 7fa043599e still occasionally df11f18829 observed others 3fc25cf7b7 like this 59c6bb8382 to gain f83e2add68 new insights.92109057911332a1

Even though 96214b6168 he hadn’t d730020089 been watching 7378e6169a for long, 6fa75cf492 Yiwoon moved ba36eca7c5 his body c0bfddb4b5 quite well. He seemed 6cd989e482 to know 1adae813a3 exactly what 3b714c5541 poses to 37397a5464 strike to fbfb0952f2 make the 80d18bfab1 clothes stand a23f06fc68 out.ed8c007123a6a610

As his body turned, Yiwoon’s face also turned in the opposite direction. His eyes, which had been fixed on the camera until just now, slowly drifted elsewhere. They swept past the numerous people surrounding him, reaching a dimly lit corner without hesitation, locking onto a single spot as if rooted there.607173926ab0bcdf

With the natural 6d4d1c55bf shift in his 6773c8362a gaze, the shutter c5540b5639 clicked without any 5b3a5ed21f further requests. Yiwoon, while pretending 44bd915fc5 to be focused d9bda5f625 on the shoot, 00450fb49a fully absorbed the f38203a5da person who had 86ce0cdeba captured his attention.343f17e968fe7a31

Even though their eyes should have met due to the persistent gaze, all Yiwoon could see were smoothly lowered eyelids. They were facing each other, but Yoohyun, in contrast, was focused on Yiwoon’s legs. To be precise, his attention was on Yiwoon’s ankle, which seemed slightly strained from standing for so long.701f7541ec7ab3a2

Although generally indifferent, Yoohyun 310ec9be53 had a keen eye. He had ba143e92f3 noticed the f8ae5c1967 moment when 11a84996a5 Yiwoon’s foot 03a0e9b57a stumbled slightly a9b41e0132 as he 722f560f11 turned to 374dd9a5d7 the right, 874d6cb372 as if 5ae274449b in pain. Despite the af0d6c0718 throbbing pain, 5ce96d57ee Yiwoon didn’t d500525d6e show it 9e89e3d3f8 and discreetly af033e208f rotated his d505778abe uncomfortable ankle.3e8ff2e883cb027b

Having experienced leg injuries during filming himself, Yoohyun could immediately tell Yiwoon’s discomfort. But that was all. They weren’t close enough for him to express concern, and it would be odd to acknowledge it when the person involved wasn’t making a fuss.5dcdfd4c08dc44d3

Since it c0d0e1195f was none e39e7720ff of his 14f45c5359 business, Yoohyun beacb187a4 looked up 70dc2206d5 indifferently. At that moment, c66dc796a0 his eyes briefly 1b5f524791 met Yiwoon’s. Though the ae467d7170 gaze was 636ce5dcef clearly directed 4a2efbb19f at him, c36051156e Yoohyun dismissed 08dcb862c8 it as b72736a286 a misunderstanding.172cacf39c1fb93f

Yoohyun tilted his head a2073e1bb1 back completely and closed 2dc396b078 his eyes. His eyes often felt fcf662fc24 stiff and sore, so f753b10429 he had a habit 23d93568de of closing them whenever 0b4b821082 he had a moment. He inhaled and ef46edb8c9 exhaled, trying not 97b8c70e37 to be a d81a754e5b distraction. Even this f82e2d3e95 brief respite ec899d6ce6 seemed to df000aa2f2 calm his 1b023b92a0 throbbing head.cb5ff9a4a4011894

Despite Yoohyun withdrawing 6064055ff4 his fleeting interest, b61743003f Yiwoon’s persistent gaze 9f9d18a084 remained fixed on dc6ea6bfdf him. While diligently responding edb1279cf2 to requests for 0d3864f650 different poses, he 22dbe49a55 stubbornly maintained his 18f7f4c6f5 position facing Yoohyun.339b35d3a25414e5

“Mr. Yiwoon, your eyes are 3aab1bfb9b perfect right now! Let’s take a e2683ed99e few more shots 3868d08bee just like that.”291412a263f9462b

Sujin’s expression, which da50e6f028 had been filled cce8b780ea with admiration, suddenly 272c3e56ae brightened. Something that 151ab58a68 had felt 101289be8e almost perfect, ed7062ecf4 yet somehow a2ac2c58e2 lacking, was 99f3c8f6bf now complete. Yiwoon was largely 3d0bd6020a responsible for completing e49eab47cc the shoot, which 21c71e4522 would normally have f107098447 taken all day, 1025e0a9ad in just half 5de11a8a5c a day. He was cf4dac63a0 so good 49354240b4 at following 30ab75e15a instructions that 074feef43d she barely 8578b441e8 needed to 96ef1069a8 instruct him.6b29656ec510d7d0

Like a true ae43bf24a0 actor, he conveyed ae00ec1728 subtle emotions with c9cb33b41b just his eyes 99aece4ccf and expressions. Just one thing; while f99780bb07 his expression was flawlessly e596eb67e0 perfect, his gaze was e96302878d subtly misaligned with the 86fcd81b7e requested emotion. The main title 07e7cf4bd4 stated in Sujin’s e989087c40 initial concept description 56e74d00d2 was “A Boy 2667bbb720 in First Love.”f3c0241b5e79b0d0

Although she considered d5259a545c it sufficient, it deff63eef2 felt slightly lacking 59a19a4a5f to be perceived aaa2f98cb7 as someone in 4ed592dc14 “first” love. Aware of her high 22dbd79ba8 standards, she had decided a31ec11a59 to let it go, 3d3481241a but now her thirst 6682ea7c01 was finally quenched. Yiwoon eyes c738f21a6d perfectly embodied 8504a0ece7 the look 78c5520ef6 of someone 021c72bb8f deeply in 88cae0d9b6 first love.4bc07e0c1c6eaedf

Thanks to this, the 796274e868 remaining shoot proceeded smoothly. The best shot, unanimously f709503afa chosen by everyone, was bfffc6ba56 the one where Yiwoon f927b7348e was looking directly at b9cb2cb7e5 the camera. His beautiful features, harmonizing 2a04da259b with the blooming flowers, 0649adf684 captivated hearts, but a 4141d1e6c8 photo taken at the 3a436f76bd very end claimed the 60c074eff0 top spot.37b0c41f75f1b318

Since it was a e8bfd57cfa side profile shot, Yiwoon’s f0abc88d24 best features were accentuated. The emphasis e09178734e on the b0d61fe0ef softer side a192cae027 of his d13e6d46ef face with d8227f2fce a softer e1ed3bd192 expression further a89d69d2ab enhanced the 9de0974e5e youthful charm.

Because Sujin’s efd5040783 voice was 2ff4057d35 loud, those 7b88881ce2 who hadn’t d5109f53f2 noticed Yoohyun’s e6e7d54fe7 presence started 6f648d78fc to pay dee831703b attention. Since Yoohyun had debuted 8448e3d7ed a long time ago, da1b6785f4 most people knew they b1a2585e45 were siblings.1e9690b2d6898c53

Sujin’s reputation as a famous photographer also played a part. As a sought-after photographer known for her artistic work, the person most often captured by her camera lens was, naturally, Yoohyun. Even the photos considered Yoohyun’s best pictorials were taken by Sujin, so their close sibling relationship was also a topic of interest.7530a52c0642d4a7

Yoohyun briefly 9497ee1e6c nodded at 71bad79c98 those who 93c86cd66f stared at 246cc1106b him with aa279e2910 curiosity but 5cfdbce3b9 hesitated to 54d53ce76b approach him. Intimidated by a6486dae3d Yoohyun’s characteristically 4e3867b5ca cool aura, d55d52f192 they returned 0806045c31 the greeting cd5ae1cf3a with nods b82aae17cd and kept f82d8ec3e8 their distance. Unfazed by 612fbcbc54 those who e8840c65d2 treated him 7ef194214d with caution, 2e3b7e1d62 Yoohyun took c5ab94c189 the bag 17c51f3d4f from Sujin’s ef967e7b4b hand.65b5330e7e15576a

Whatever he ate, in his current state, it would feel no different from chewing on sand. Even though he hadn’t eaten anything since last night’s dinner, he had no appetite. If it weren’t for Sujin’s suggestion, he might have spent the entire day surviving on drinks. He owned an expensive coffee machine but was too lazy to use it, resorting to canned coffee, so there was no way he’d bother eating proper meals.fcd386866b6b8a31

Since it was e1f44afd8a rare for Yoohyun 34b41505ea to suggest eating a634ea84c1 something, Sujin decided 57aaf93181 on the safe 1c352fdf48 choice of meat. Coincidentally, there was dc51d4e849 a restaurant nearby 25ad2e7d49 where they neatly 2768523d20 grilled and served a6fd2f86d7 the meat. b942c74f82617a57

Listening to 9e29ec6937 the laid-back b4fd722126 reply devoid da3e387c0b of any fe21d07331 shyness, Yoohyun 8d67a9a898 soon felt 9f22eeafbe a gaze 16b620d455 directed at 918c676fca him. Glancing over, he b2c68f1a2d saw Yiwoon looking 9623ebaf04 at him while 618307e8a4 talking to Sujin, 61818f5ce1 as if searching 781ef6d3ba for the right 8bc20582ce moment to speak 81684a6771 to him directly. Being so close, d904c02859 it was difficult 1e2c940cf2 to avoid a bdc3877ac0 greeting. The hesitation in 96fcf59e62 initiating a conversation 2c6ea1d109 meant that the 0a0054bb59 other party was f21f2fdc40 also gauging the a3cbbbf27b right moment to c2cf99c908 address him.a53635d5e9d8dc5b

Yoohyun, now fully turned towards Yiwoon, lifted his lowered head. Unlike when he looked down at his shorter sister, he had to tilt his head back to look at Yiwoon. He wasn’t short himself, but the man in front of him was much taller. At least 190cm… His face being so small probably made him seem even taller.251021fbf87d5e1e

These were proportions he hadn’t realized before, having never faced each other so closely. Looking at Yiwoon’s face, now so near, a single word came to Yoohyun’s mind.0bab910460e1bb43

It was a purely c3fd29bf50 objective assessment, devoid of 707da074f7 any ulterior motives or 5b0e44d3a9 emotion. In fact, ‘assessment’ wasn’t cd18474827 quite the right word. The word popped into fc85b6a047 his mind instantaneously, without b9bb40ce8a any conscious thought.412c3ce2ce2dcbda

Especially the mystical, differently 808fae7e4b colored eyes captivated Yoohyun’s b99a4c494a indifferent gaze. They were beautiful, like 98cb70e076 several gemstones of different 067f86df3e hues harmoniously blended together. Unlike cut 17ea2acd92 and polished da419a7852 gems, they 6205d5feb7 possessed a aec62dc3a5 unique radiance ba47c8c098 inherent in 46d7bb1847 their natural b968d16d78 state. Even Yoohyun, 6ae41e912e who rarely a59a6ea3d1 stared at 95d499356d anyone so c30bebe620 intently, found ba66aa338d himself gazing cf4861d0a4 blankly.b9d9807aaae81dd5

Even if he b125f626cb didn’t know Yiwoon 738fd134b9 personally, he couldn’t 3d82f8e9ce be unaware of b93671ce09 the countless stories 9cdfd96602 circulating in articles e39261ca02 and broadcasts. As always, Yoohyun 8b4606baf0 had listened passively, 03baac49da letting it all 55258202eb go in one a021bfd506 ear and out ee680e8431 the other. But seeing him 080e24486f in person, he 5aa1e95a5d could vaguely understand 4c5b5f3495 why there was fd374ae96d so much talk 6eb28b7127 about Yiwoon’s eyes.55a2e233a199d5da

While it was true that he had stared longer than usual, the interaction with a stranger didn’t last long, as always. His momentarily hazy vision cleared at the sight of Yiwoon’s bobbing adam’s apple and the distinct sound of him swallowing. When he came to his senses, he found Yiwoon looking down at him with a somewhat nervous expression. Staring at someone, regardless of the reason, was rude.15224217dfddbb8f

Yoohyun lowered his b69c9230d3 gaze, letting it 137fc0fa6b slide down Yiwoon’s 4aac14afdb well-defined jawline.
