୨୧ ────── ♯ grocery shopping @ costco open starter for a group thread.
i'll assume any posts not tagged to someone are open for response!

seonhye is the first to arrive, which isn't much of a surprise to her since she was in the area anyways and she knows how far the drive from the house is. she's just finished her second shoot of the day which she walked straight from, since it was only about 20 minutes, and she had let the filming crew drive instead since she knew the equipment was heavy. she'd recorded a mini vlog of sorts on her phone so she supposes she'd turn that footage in later. she wonders how long it would take before the others arrive?

@[♡] lim seonhye. @[♡] geum kangsan. monica sighs in relief at seonhye’s explanation, beaming at the compliment. “why, thank you! you’re quite stunning yourself, seonhye-ssi, and you, incheon-ssi, are very fortunate to be paired with two beautiful, well-prepared women. better get to practicing before the crew shows up.” a hint of annoyance lingers in her tone since she wasn’t keen on his lack of an answer. before she can press further, the crew members arrive. as she takes her position, she catches seonhye’s question. “how about ‘a normal date’ versus ‘meeting the one on a televised dating show’?” she suggests loud enough for both to hear. the photographer signals to her, meaning it’s finally her time to shine. with a confident smirk, she struts toward the camera.

"sorry. you must hear that a lot," she says apologetically, despite how amused she was just seconds ago. turning toward the crew members, she smiles at their direction and listens attentively to their directions, doing as they ask and changing into her clothes for her role in the shoot. following their guidance, she takes her position beside incheon. "do we have a caption in mind already?"

@[♡] monica moon. @[♡] lim seonhye. he can't help but let out a snort of amusement at the shorter girl's exaggerated outfit reveal. everything the latter did just seemed so extra—amplified in drama and energy by tenfold. "sorry—my nose felt clogged." incheon excuses, not wanting to come off rude. "i haven't been, no..." he trails off, deciding that his answer is probably not the one monica wants to hear. instead, he answers seonhye sheepishly. "yeah, i was... i'm sorry to have not properly greeted everyone. i was coming back from a long flight and i only intended on taking a power nap..." he clears his throat softly as he changes the subject. "we can definitely talk more later." he agrees with another nod. just then, someone else greets them, bowing in as they walk up to them. they introduce themselves as the local photographers that are to work with them for the day.

@[♡] monica moon. @[♡] geum kangsan. seonhye bows and smiles as well, mirroring incheon. "yes, it's great to meet you! it's sad you missed the welcome party, but you must have been really tired, huh? (sympathizing with a scrunch of her nose) no worries though. maybe we can all talk a bit more after this?" she turns to look at monica, laughing as she sees the other woman having already come prepared. somehow, she had expected such. "you look beautiful, monica-nim! but i believe someone from the show's crew is going to photograph us? (looks around before she spots someone heading their way with what seems to be a professional camera) perhaps them?"

@[♡] lim seonhye. @[♡] geum kangsan. monica grins as her fellow female contestant approaches them. “that’s a good question, seonhye-nim. hopefully, we’ll win a cash prize or gain some advantage for a future challenge.” she glances back at incheon, narrowing her eyes. “which means i’ll be holding you to that promise of trying your hardest, incheon-ssi. i hope you’ve been practicing your distracted face, wolf whistle and all.” she perks up at seonhye’s question regarding their roles. “well, if you insist, i’d be happy to take on the role of the woman in red.” with a dramatic flourish, she s her trenchcoat, revealing a red dress underneath. “so what’s the plan on taking the photo? it looks like none of us brought a tripod.”

@[♡] monica moon. @[♡] lim seonhye. incheon hadn't cared too much whom he was paired with, since he hadn't interacted with anyone as of yet. but, if there was anything he had hoped for, it was that he'd be paired with someone easy-going. a pair that would just naturally let interactions take place, while enjoying the moment for what it would be. however, hearing the competitive nature from the two women, he's expecting a longer day ahead of him. he bows respectfully to them in greeting. "hello, nice to meet you both." incheon says with a small smile. "i'll try my hardest today to help you win. we can get started." he nods.

@[♡] monica moon. @[♡] geum kangsan. having come directly from her last shoot, she's aware that she is a bit late since the subway faced delays. luckily, it seems that the others had just arrived as well, since she can see monica approaching a man who is probably incheon, based on his profile picture in the group chat. "win? it would be great if we did. i wonder what's the prize though? (pause) well, let's get this show on the road then? would you like to be the woman in red, monica-nim?"

@[♡] lim seonhye. @[♡] geum kangsan. monica’s sharp gaze cuts through the crowd, scanning each face in search of the contestants who’ve been lucky enough to be paired with her. at last, she spots one.

“well, look who /finally/ decided to make an appearance,” she remarks, approaching the man, her pumps tapping crisply against the pavement. “geum incheon-ssi, i presume? i trust you’re prepared for the challenge since —because i, monica moon, intend to win.”

@[♡] monica moon. @[♡] lim seonhye. when he awoke, it was whole different world. a whole welcome party had been taking place, and then next the tv had blared a message about a photoshoot challenge.

incheon arrives to a random street in gangnam. he's the first to arrive, not seeing the presence of the two female contestants that he has been paired up with for today. he awaits for their arrival.
