He flashes an apologetic smile, glancing between the two girls. Their attention shifts as the staff arrives, carrying equipment that makes the scene look like a full-scale professional photoshoot is about to take place.
"I have a feeling we'll nail it on the first shot. I can't explain it—just a hunch. Yeonah seems like a perfectionist, and Seonhye, well, you look like you give your best in everything." Taejoon muses with a smile as the three of them greet the staff. After muttering a quick apology for his driving, the trio gets into position. Some passersby pause, curious to see which actors are filming, only to walk away disappointed when they realize they’re just unfamiliar faces.
"And me? I'm a team player so I'll do my best so we win."

"oops?" is all she can offer, mirroring yeonah's own smile, looking at the man sheepishly as she also tries not to laugh. hopefully he's not to embarrassed considering it was an honest mistake. following the other girl's gaze, seonhye purses her lips and nods. "yeah, i'm sure they've got it handled. we can just follow their directions. i'm not really a model, but i'll try my best for this shoot!" it's then that she sees a group walking purposefully toward them with professional-looking equipment. pointing their direction, she says, "i think that's them?"

"about that..." a light chuckle escapes her, lower lip caught between her teeth in an effort to avoid devolving into full-on laughter. "i actually did notice some of the staff members panicking as we were leaving earlier, but taejoon-ssi here had been too accelerator-happy," she grins impishly, thumb pointing towards said man's general direction. "anyway! that... probably makes me the other girl, right?" she blinks unsurely, eyes darting around the crowd. "surely the staff will help us field off any passersby, right–what if they walk into the shot and all..."
@[♡] choi taejoon.@[♡] baek yeonah. "you're good, taejoon-ssi!" seonhye reassures, knowing she too had a tendency to speed as well. "ah, good idea," she replies with a nod, following his gaze to a wall she'd recognized before as a photo hotspot on sns. this is when a ping comes in to their phones again from the production crew, informing them that staff members will be assisting them shortly. "oh? looks like we don't need to worry too much. maybe they already have all that figured out for us and we can just post for them? as for the roles . . . odds for red, evens for blue (she takes out her phone before asking siri to roll the dice which lands on 3) i'll take red?"
@[♡] lim seonhye.@[♡] baek yeonah. "Yeah, no problem! Thanks for putting up with my driving—I hope it wasn’t too rough," he says with a knowing smile, aware of his tendency to speed. Maybe they would’ve reached their destination faster in his own car instead of the one provided by the show, but at least this was better than a typical commute. Or so he tells himself.
They step out of the parking garage and into the bustling streets, lined with vibrant shops and people weaving in and out of them. Taejoon walks in thoughtful silence for a moment before speaking.
"We could always try using a timer first, and if that doesn’t work, we can ask a stranger—hopefully, someone who can take decent shots. I really want to win this challenge. I believe we can."
As he scans the area, his eyes land on the perfect spot—a striking wall with interesting textures and good lighting, tucked away from the busiest crowds.
"Now who wants which role?" He asks, pertaining to the meme.

"thanks for driving, taejoon!" she says as the trio get out of the car and head out of parking garage and onto the streets of myeongdong. they had discussed their game plan yesterday night after the welcome party and had ultimately decided to first recreate the photo and then decide on the caption later. "i just realized . . . are we confident in doing a timer or do we want to stop someone on the street and ask them to take the picture for us . . . ?"
