"But Jungkook, there are still more girls out there. Are you sure of this girl?"
Sui asked, hoping that her brother would think twice about his decisions.

"When I say, I want to test her abilities, I'll want to test only her's. Well you can go on ahead and interview the rest without me."

As he stood up from his chair and moved away, he looked back at the girl who stood clueless.
"What're you just standing there for? Follow me. My patience's running out."

Jee felt confused and unsure about following him, she looked at Sui and the agitated man, back and forth.

"Are you deaf or what?"

"I'm-I'm coming."
After following him to his studio, Jee felt a different world colliding with hers. His studio itself gave her a cold yet professional feeling to it.

Seeing all his workshops and photographs, it was all enough for her to understand the reason behind Sui's words.

"So it is a profession"

"What are you murmuring to yourself, come over here."
Jee walked towards a corner where a big white board glued to the wall, with lights hanging around each post.

"What am I suppose to do now?"
Jee asked questionably.

"Stand right there and give me just any pose."

Jungkook took his Canon EOS-5D Mark III camera out, he shifted himself right infront of her and took his position, ready to click.

Jee let out a deep breathe and came forth, halting right under the spotlight. She looked straight at the camera.
She lifted her right hand, letting it hang around her face, covering the half part of it. While her other hands glided through her abdomen.

Flashes of light reflected in her eyes, but she stayed still, unbothered.

After a few shutter clicks, Jungkook stopped photographing and kept his camera down. He began previewing her photographs in the pc, and somehow, compared to before, a different expression hanged on his face, he seemed satisfied.

"Did I do okay? Was I suppose those sort of poses?"
Jee came behind him, and seeing her own pictures, she was surprised that it was actually her in the picture.

"Woah! Your photography is no joke. I usually don't come out that good. It's impressive!"
Jee couldn't help but compliment his work. But all she received was a silent respond.

Jungkook kept on staring at the picture displayed right infront of him.

Noticing this, she began to worry and felt confused whether he's satisfied or disappointed, looking at the picture he just captured.

"I, I guess I'll take my leave then."
Jee awkwardly tried to excuse herself, but all in vain.

"Did I tell you to leave yet?"
Jungkook spoke, bringing his attention back to the girl, who was almost trying to escape.

"What do you want me to do now?"
Jee whined.

"Strip"
He demanded.

Jee nearly choked on her own saliva.

Hoping that she may have misheard him, she asked him again.

"What, what did you just say?"

"I said strip."
Horror grieved her mind, thinking of all those things. She was instantly diluted with inappropriate thoughts, which she never intended to think of, in the first place.

"How many times am I going to repeat myself? Or do you want me to take off your shirt?"
Jungkook asked with a straight face, slowly walking towards her direction.

A light blush crept upon her cheeks, feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed.

"You have no dignity at all?"
Jee gasped.

"This is work."
Jungkook sternly replied.

"Well I am just an applicant interviewing, I didn't come here to strip for you"
He scoffed at her.

"Hah. You think I enjoy seeing girls strip? Well I've seen more women strip right upfront. And it's no big deal."

"I'm out of here. I wish you luck in finding the unlucky muse for yourself."
Jee ran out of the studio before he could grab her back.

As she finally exited the building, she huffed, looking back at the entrance, she couldn't help but just curse the guy.

"Strip you say? Over my death body."
She walked away, while trying to contact Namjoon.

"Heeyyy, Jee! How'd it go??"

"Oh so great! You know what, I almost sold my body. Thanks to you Joon!"

"Okay? Why do you sound so sarcastic right now? You didn't get it?"

"Urg! Just! Maybe next time when you try to get me a job. I hope you think twice!"

Ending with the call, she hopped into the bus to return home. As the bus moved, she took a quick glance at the company again, then the flashback replayed in her mind.

"I hope I never cross road with that guy for the third time again."
She shooked her head, trying to forget the incident and just went ahead with the day's routine.

Meanwhile when Sui walked inside her brother's studio, she noticed that he was blankly staring at the picture of the girl he just captured.

"I know that look in your eyes"
She spoke bringing her brother back to his surroundings.

"So is she the one?"

Jungkook just replied with a smile, plastered on his face.
