@✵ han seungwoo⁻ᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ //there is a spark of a memory there somewhere, but it does not catch. at least not yet/
//an assisstant brings out a high chair in which i have to sit, so i cross a leg over the other on habit, reaching out to hold onto your shoulder for balance, then continue posing, only pausing for a second to glance in your direction when you mention my name/
The one and only.
//skips pleasantries as i never found them necessary nor useful in any situation, and adjusts myself on the hard wooden surface. the chair almost feels like the bar stools in nightclubs and it sparks again, but only to result in faint smoke instead of catch on fire/
Do try not to ruin this shoot for me, Han Seungwoo. After all I am a recognizable face.

@✵ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ /as soon as my photoshoot partner steps out in the newly arranged outfit, my eyes fall on the familiar face. it takes me a little to recognize considering how long ago it'd been, but being rather good with faces and names, something that had always come in handy with my current job, I was quick to place a time a date for where I'd seen you before, the small smile on my lips forcing back the quick urge to chuckle at the memory. I was ready to greet you as you approached but you were quick to let me know that you were here for business only. as we both got into our positions, you leave me to wonder whether you wanted to pretend that night never happened, or if you simply wanted to act professional during the shoot. whichever the case, I played along and simply adjusted the collar of the light pink shirt I wore over the thin white t-shirt before starting to pose along with you. it was only when you asked my name that I realized you might actually not remember me/
Han Seungwoo... Nice to meet you
/I offered politely, readjusting my position so I could spare you a quick glance before facing the camera again. I didn't expect my name to make much of a difference as we hadn't exchanged names on our first meeting, but still, I had been given a short introduction about you on the drive here/
Chrystal Jung right?

@✵ han seungwoo⁻ᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ //aforementioned "miss jung" steps out of her own dressing cubicle in a completely eclectic outfit, consisting of a baby pink t-shirt, pencil skirt with a print, and this whole concoction held together by a black corset and pearl accessories, not to even mention the green streaks in my hair; still i am weirdly living for it, and don't completely hate this look, which is a first/
Thank you.
//nods to a studio assistant, who point me in the right direction, and heads over to the set to greet the other DSF staff member who waits there already/
Okay, shall we get this started then.
//nods again instead of greeting, giving you a head-to-toe once over, before fixating on your face for a moment, the shadow of a doubt crossing my features, as I can't yet pinpoint what exactly is tipping me off at this point/
//the director yells some guidance and we begin posing standing up, with different levels of closeness, and i use the moment to whisper-ask, while keeping my poses and expression schooled/
What was your name again?

@✵ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ /eyes focused on the mirror ahead of me, I am only a little nervous as the staff members prepare me for the session. I'd done this before but ever since focusing more on the managing career, I hadn't gotten the chance to do much else so it had definitely been a while since my last shoot/
Thank you!
/offers a charming smile to the hair stylist as I am finally allowed out of the chair and quickly swept away by one of the other staff so they could fix the clothing before sending me onto the set/
Miss Jung is ready too!
/I hear another one of the stylists call out to the photographer from one of the dressing rooms where I assumed my fellow staff member would be changing into her outfit for the day/
