"A showcase in London?" You asked as your manager nods. "Yes, it's in a week and it'll be very effective for you in your career to grow big," your manager, Mr. Hoon explains.
"London..." your voice laced as your gaze shifts to the previous showcases of Calvin Klein held in London. It was always a big show and many people were invited to visit the exhibition, both the ambassadors and public. "Let's rock this," you smiled brightly at your manger.
~~~~~~
Your plane landed on the bustling airport of THE London. You scurried off of your plane with a sun protection hat. It was mid-May, the chilly wind blew at your face as you enter through the security passes; finally stepping outside to discover many reporters and media ready to click photos, many fans held behind the ribbon roaring your name.
You stand on the particular position your manager gestures you to as the reporters click photos from every angle. You slightly bow as your bodyguards escort you to your van before heading to your hotel.
"You're quite popular in such small time, Lora," Mr. Hoon gushes from the front of the van. "Well, I guess they do love young faces," you reply with a chuckle.
You reach your hotel in half an hour as your manager suggests you take some rest before you head for a photo-shoot in the evening for the summer package they'd be releasing in the upcoming month.
************Jungkook***********
It's been two years, he had seen your photos everywhere he went. She's become so much beautiful. It seemed he was still fervently fond of you. She's come so far, I'm so proud of her.
He's been studying fashion designing, it was his final year, a few months before graduation. He tried contacting Calvin Klein to let him talk to you but they refused to let any stranger talk with you. His only option left was to apply for a job at the company after graduating.
He stumbled upon the information of the grand opening showcase at London, where he was living. His heart rate fastened at the thought he'd be able to see you, might even catch a chance to speak with you. He even managed VIP tickets to the opening. I'll finally see you soon, Lora...
************Back to the hotel************
You were getting ready for the shoot at the beach, the sun was setting and you had to be quick with the shoots or you'd have to redo it again tomorrow. As much as you love your job, you hated to repeat the same session unless it was to improve your own facial expression and body language.
"Ready... and action!" The direction called.
The slow melodic music played in the background as you felt yourself relax and enjoy the photo shoot. Branding the clothe as you feel yourself into the moment. Letting yourself drown into the rhythmic sound of waves crashing at the shore. You gaze fixes on the camera for mere seconds before it naturally tears away to the scenery ahead of you.
The sun bearing a mystery of its own, falling into the horizon of endless sea laid before your eyes. You knew no camera or device could capture something as beautiful and breathtakingly details of the falling day before your bare eyes.
"And.... CUT!" The director calls out, as the lights dimming down of the particular area.
"Good job, Lora!" Sorin, your makeup artist cheered as she passed you a water bottle. You sit down; holding a fan to cool down the barely noticeable sweats as your eyes fix on screen to monitor the shoot just taken. A satisfied smile perks up on your lips.
"You could have some time to yourself at the beach," Mr. Hoon speaks up from behind as he finishes watching the clips and photos from the shoot. You smile settling down your fan on the seat heading towards the long waited shore you feet wanted to colloid with. Letting your feet come in contact the cold water, your body felt a surge of shiver but rather it was relaxing.
You stroll along the shore like a little kid who'd been allowed to play with water for the first time. "Now don't go too far." You hear Sorin from the distance. "Nae!!" You reply back as your feet plays with the water before picking up a stick and engrave your name on the sand, Shin Lora.
The beach has always fascinated you although it couldn't reach the peak happiness star-gazing has given you. You were given a nickname by the daily reader of magazines with your headline, butterfly from the stars.
"Could you take a shoot of this from above? We could add it to the package clips. There's still light here," you say getting the attention of your manager as he nods willing to fulfill your wish.
"It looks nice," Mr. Hoon muttered nodding at the director. "Well done, Lora. We're off for today then! Oh and by the way, there's a party tonight. Please get her ready by 8PM Sorin," he informs Sorin as you both head back in the hotel.
The lack of water playing at your feet disappointed you but you shake the feeling of water off as you wipe the wet sand along your ankle and heel line, slipping your sandals back on calling it a day.
Sorin has always been like the elder sister you never had. She was 5 years older than you and has been your makeup artist ever since you joined the company.
"Ahh~" you stretched out as you lay on the bed. Sorin giggles as she picks out the dress for you to attend the party and fixes the few closet defects that's been caused due to the packing inside the luggage filled with other outfits and accessories.
"You know, your shoots today came out better than expected, Lora," she smiled.
"Thank you, unnie," you smile at her before gazing at the balcony window as a deep sigh escapes your lips. Where did you hide yourself?
~~~~~
"We're so glad you were able to make it Ms. Shin," the host greeted you as you walk into the ball wearing a spectacular long gown like dress. It had floral designs with visible glitter, pearls situated at different portion of the dress as it hugged your slender waist displaying your perfect curves. Your natural golden brown hair in a wavy form with butterfly clip on your right side, your initial. Your makeup dashing yet done very simply with blue eyeshadow trailed down with star stickers. Your star tattoo full on display accentuating the overall look.
You had a few tattoos, one on the crock of your neck, the star, one on the palm of your wrist, a falling shooting star, one on the right side of your lower thigh, a butterfly which falls on full display when you wear shorts or thigh slit dresses.
"Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Kim," you smile as he guides you to the guests introducing you as the raising young ambassador of the brand proudly.
"Here's a toast to the youngest rising ambassador of Calvin Klein, Ms. Shin Lora," Mr. Kim raised a toast as you raised your glass of champagne in the air along with everyone.
The ball was illuminated with warm shade of blue and purple. The ball divided into three sections, the main ball which was filled with people dancing in pairs or enjoying their own company of their bodies swaying to the causal music played by the piano, the lavish comfortable couches occupied by the guests from all over chattering like they've known each other since forever, and lastly the bar from which ambassadors and guest were often found picking drinks and enjoying themselves.
Likewise, you found yourself at the bar gesturing the bartender, "One shot of tequila martens please." The bartender flashed you his grin, making your drink professionally before placing the glass in front you finishing off the ending touch with a 🫒 into the glass.
You beamed at the drink and slowly drank from it, letting your throat take in every taste. Bittersweet yet mind-refreshing. Your eyes wandered around the bar only to notice a few other guests further away from you although you don't mind it, you enjoyed your own company. Perhaps while drinking you never wanted any company, you always wanted to focus on the drink and yourself while letting the burn of each sip ignite your throat.
The night ended swiftly. The several shot of shots of different kinds acting up. You stumble into your room with the help of Sorin who keeps scolding you for drinking too much.
"Aniya~ I just wanted to get wasted after a long time unnie~" you giggled as she helped you out of the dress into something comfortable before sitting you straight on the chair as she wipes your makeup off. "There you go, now off you go to sleep," she helps you into the bed as you drift off to sleep.
