Won't you please stay in dreams

I hear the ocean from far away

Zendaya Pov: PART 2

You and your crew were booked into a five-star luxury hotel in Seoul. The Grand Hyatt. You wanted to jump on the bed because it was such a comfortable hotel. You and your mother share the Presidential suite.

"We'll be meeting Michelle Lee at her office in Gangnam, baby. So don't forget to shower. I went out of my way to get you some lovely outfits. OK, it's a tad cool outside, "You mom yelled from her room.

"All right, mother-dearest...whatever you want...let me just look fly (smart), OK?" You shouted from the couch.

The views from the top were breathtaking. You opened the windows and smelled the cool breeze. The air isn't clean, but the skyscrapers make up for it. You let your curls fall from your shoulders as you loosen your hair. You're crazy with your hair. It's grown out a little, but your stylist added some extensions for the shoot. With your shorter locks, you've been acquainted. But, after all, a model is merely a doll.

Your suite was elegantly designed with warm colors, natural browns, orange, and grey accents. It made you feel so at ease.

You smiled as you remembered your girlfriends. They demanded that every moment of your flight be documented from the point you landed to the final minute of your stay. Your mother was packing, and you could see the content in her demeanor. She is incredibly proud of you and your successes, and you adore your parents and their support for your profession. Your mother made sure that the accountants handled your money correctly.

You two have already decided to invest in a luxury apartment, but you don't know where. Maybe Italy or France. However, only time will tell. Your suite was even supplied with a variety of wines and drinks. Korean drinks and snacks

You got out your phone and went around each room, giving a detailed account of your surroundings. You will post some photographs on Instagram and share the video details just to your group chat. Everyone can then comment at the same time.

You already know that tomorrow morning will be a fantastic and exhausting photo shoot. The meeting with the ALLURE editor-in-chief will take place today at 2 p.m., and it's still early in the morning.

You and your team will be served a full breakfast. Fortunately, the hotel serves English breakfast, and most of the menu items are western. But, while you're here, you should eat some Korean food.

You went to investigate your cozy bedroom. It piques your interest, and you can't wait to sleep on the pristine white linens. You're strolling around the room barefoot.

Your television is even directly in front of your bed. You will watch late-night movies on Netflix. Jimmy also texted you, wanting to know about your trip. He was already planning your birthday trip to Busan's stunning blue beaches. You're not sure if you're prepared for that kind of relationship.

You may appear wise for years, but you are still "extremely naïve" in several areas, and you are unsure if you want to date Jimmy indefinitely. You've already been bombarded with several suiters, and Naill even asked you to his solo show in London. You don't know much about it, and you don't want to give men hope, especially if they already have a soul mark or are branded as Tarnished.

Because the side of your neck is started to sting, you know deep down that you will not be tarnished. You didn't tell your mother about it since you didn't want to get her too thrilled.

In a few months, you'll graduate from your Music Academy Programme with a degree in Music Production, with majors in composition, arrangement, digital recording, and so on. You may one day take over your dad's business, so you should study music production. You are a student at Columbia University, and your next semester is coming up, and you intend to pursue your master's degree the following semester. Modeling is not a full-time profession.

You've frequently questioned whether your soulmate will be a non-famous guy or a celebrity. You hope he truly loves you. You don't want to be in a relationship with a guy and then have to battle for his love. You would rather be alone than unhappy. You grin as you stroll around, taking video images and narrating to your friends about what you see.

You post the video, and your phone quickly becomes flooded with messages.

Kendell: wow! It's lovely, and I adore the view.

Gigi: Can you tell me what time it is?

You: We're heading to breakfast now that it's nearly 9 a.m. then meeting Michell Lee, the Allures Editor-in-Chief.

Kendell: Have a wonderful week! It's too bad BTS is currently in Japan, and maybe the two of us can sneak away to one of their fans meet in Japan.

You: that'll be something. A KARDASHIAN in Japan!!! You'll be all over the news... I don't want to be around during your fangirl. It's embarrassing.

Gigi: Bts will be in jeopardy.

You: Of course!

Kendell: You guys are evil. Please bring us some merchandise. I want to get a great T-shirt with my bias face for the performance, as well as the latest ARMY bombs, and I'd like to appear current.

You: Oh, my goodness. Kendell. Simply order it online...will you?

Gigi: Remember, it's sold out. Kourtney is also going after hearing that one of Kylie's friends will be unable to attend. Her friend will be in Germany, and she has a film premiere, and Kylie gave her the ticket.

You say, "OK, I'll see what I can do. Is Kourtney an ARMY??? That is breaking news.

Gigi: She's in secret. She was introduced to the group by Kendell, and she is now a Seokjin fan.

Kendell: Oh, my soulmate has arrived. I had to leave, and he's taking me out. So, best of luck with the shoot, and show them your style, gal...

Kendell exited the conversation.

Gigi: Y/n Take advantage of this opportunity to unwind and explore Seoul. Please go ahead and explore a little bit, OK? Perhaps you'll run into other kpop idols. You just never know.

You: Perhaps...oh, my mother is calling my name. I have to shower and have breakfast. Enjoy your shoot as well. Please give my regards to Tommy.

Gigi: OK...you as well. I'll do it. Tell your mother that she has to relax and enjoy the trip instead of stressing out like Kris Kardashian in her momager duty.

You: OK...you know my mom...she'll flip if things aren't properly organized...

Gigi: I'll miss you. I'll text you later tonight.

Gigi exited the conversation.

You signed as you hung up the phone. You shower fast and wear a black designer blouse, maroon leather pants, and black velvet ankle boots. You quickly styled your hair and were ready to go to the hotel's breakfast buffet.

You adore the layout. You all had a filling breakfast and a peaceful time in this atmosphere. You even try to communicate in Korean with the waiters, who are blown away by your efforts...

Your mother was speaking with your agent about certain specifics. When you were informed of your modeling fee, you were pleasantly surprised. There is also an interview scheduled with The KOREAN Daily, a local Korean publication. Allure will sell some of the images from your shoot. Your team seemed enthusiastic, and you know you'll have a great time in South Korea.

You spent over two hours lounging at the breakfast buffet and even talking about places you and your mother want to visit. Your PA planned your itinerary, and you have two free days, which she filled with a bus tour of Seoul and visits to shopping markets.

That idea delights you because it allows you to buy merchandise for the girls. Your PA is also an ARMY member, and she told you where you could acquire most of that items online and have them delivered sooner. You told her everything about the girl's preferences. Now that that's out of the way, you can focus on enjoying your shoot, interview, and sights.

You and your mother spent some time chatting about all that was going on in your lives. Your dad's wedding and your 21st birthday party You tried to pry secrets about what your friends are up to, but your mother's lips are sealed.

Allure magazine sends you a car half an hour sooner to get you there. On your drive to the magazine, your mum and PA were photographing the scenery.

The company is situated in a beautifully designed downtown office building.

"Wow, this is a very modern office. It's lovely here in Seoul ". While you all rode the elevator to the desired floor, your PA exclaimed.

The receptionist was quite pleasant, and Michelle was waiting for you on the top floor.

"It is, and I hope they are well-organized in terms of their scheduling. Three months ago, I was irritated by the Cosmopolitan shoot. Zendaya had to spend virtually the entire day on-site, and she had an exam to write." Your mother was ranting briefly, and you simply smirk. When it comes to your job schedule and academics, your mother will not tolerate nonsense. She can't wait for you to graduate and focus on your modeling or film career if you choose that path.

You arrived at the required floor, and one of Michelle's assistants was glad to meet you halfway.

The glass doors were opened for you, and you all greeted him warmly with a kind gesture of bowing.

The walls in the corridors were covered with prior covers of celebrities who had graced the cover of their magazine in the past.

You were taken aback when you saw the latest cover of one of the Blackpink beauties. Lalisa. You'll recognize her face anywhere since she's your Kookie's "secret girlfriend." There have been countless rumors about them being involved, and their respective agencies have dismissed the rumors. There will be a fire where there is smoke.

You took a glance at her cover. This girl is breathtakingly lovely. Her eyes and body proportions are stunning. Kendell told you that she was consistently chosen as the most beautiful girl in Asia and the world in various polls. It's no surprise that Jungkook is dating the world's most gorgeous woman. According to your friends, Lisa may be his destined soulmate, but you don't know for sure.

You felt a twinge of sadness inside since she is dating the "hot" Jungkook. You ignored those unsettling thoughts because he isn't yours. Jeez, what you had is from the past! What's the deal with you? He had forgotten about your friendship, and you had both moved on from your puppy love experience.

He, like you, is destined to be with someone else. But why are you so enamored with him right now? Why do you find him so enticing and sexy? Perhaps it's because he's your bias. He is pretty popular in America, and many young ladies aspire to be his. Lisa could be his soulmate. However, their agency has yet to confirm it.

Until you meet your soulmate, you're practically dating a kind and caring football player. Jimmy wishes for You to be tarnished. You can't feel anything for a friend right now, and it's ridiculous, and it will only result in heartbreak.

Kookie belongs in the distant past, and he intends to stay there. You support his career and are a big fan of Bts, but that's where your obsession ends, and it simply has to come to an end.

The PA stares at you with a bright smile, and he can't help but admire your caramel skin. As he made a small chat with you, your crew was just smirking at his obvious crush. You enthralled him. Even if the staff spoke to him, his gaze was fixed on you. You became pretty shy and nervous as a result of it. Felix was his name. He was a rather handsome young man in his early twenties, and he was very talkative-an excellent English speaker.

"Miss, did you see any sights in Seoul? You should come to our palaces and eat Korean BBQ. It'll be fantastic." He chuckled. You simply grin at his English. That was pretty impressive. You're not sure if you should try and reply to him in Korean, but it's a secret. Your family and friends have no idea. They would love to know how you became so proficient in Korean. It's a well-kept secret. They'll kill you if they find out about your romance with a member of BTS.

"No, we've already scheduled a city bus trip and can't wait to go exploring after the shoot." In his ecstatic gaze, you flash a brilliant smile. He was calm and kind.

"I'm delighted. I hope you have a good time with it. We are thrilled to have you as a model for our Korean designers' new fall collection. I hope you have a pleasant visit, Y/n. "As you all follow him, he smiles. Your mother and PA were also inquiring about the country, and he was eager to respond.

When you get to the next glass door, three persons exit an office to your right-laughing and smiling. You all nod as Felix asks you to ground to a stop and greet the group.

Your eyes widen as you notice the lovely, tall girl standing close to an older lady. You can't believe FATE allowed you to meet Lalisa from Blackpink in person. She and her manager arrived at Allure magazine to hand-deliver gifts to the editors for the most successful June Issue cover. Thousands of covers were sold in less than 24 hours.

As Felix introduced them to your group, she smiled brightly. Lisa's eyes widen as she sees the stunning caramel-skinned beauty. You both exchange a modest smile and acknowledgment.

"Zendaya, I'm not sure whether you're familiar with kpop, but this lovely lady is a member of the well-known Blackpink girl group. Lalisa, but we all call her Lisa... Lisa, here is our new model Y/n from New York City, and she's here for a photo shoot." He made a motion to the two of you. As her eyes widen, you grin and nod.

She has a very familiar appearance. Where did she catch a glimpse of your face? Lalisa attempted to recall but instead shook her head.

Lisa offers you a lovely toothy grin, and you think to yourself, Gosh, she's stunning. "Hey, I hope you enjoy your stay in Seoul. Please have fun with your shoot. I'll pick up a copy of the October issue. Who knows, maybe we'll run across each other again." She gives you a gorgeous grin and waves at you. Jungkooks' girlfriend is stunning. You nearly feel small, but you're far taller than she is.

"Lalisa, it's a pleasure to meet you. Felix. I am familiar with the band "... You smiled at him as you turned to face him. "They're becoming increasingly popular in the United States...thank you, Lisa. We quite love it here. It is a genuinely beautiful place. Yes, if we happen to meet, we should get a cup of coffee."

Jennie was next in line but Zendaya won the fashion spread instead. According to the journalist, Allure wants her to do additional photoshoots in the coming months because she is a well-known model in the United States and has a large Instagram following. She currently has over 110,000,000 followers, and that's how well-liked she is on social media, and Lisa has a total of 65,000,000 followers.

Felix has finally gotten you into Michelle Lee's office. She was on the phone when you arrived, and when you entered, she immediately ended the call and bowed low before your crew. You all greet each other with a pleasant smiles.

Michelle's hair was in gorgeous waves, and she was dressed in a flowing patterned floral dress. With chic high-heeled white ankle boots. She greeted you with a broad smile.

"Welcome, Ms. Rhimes...we are overjoyed to have you model for our magazine."

You and your colleagues bow and grin at the ecstatic editor. She motioned for everyone to make themselves at home in her office lounge.

You made quite an impression when your mother and agent got involved in the conversation.

As they discussed the next day's shooting schedule, your mother was impressed with her professionalism. The setting. It will take place in a hangar, and your shoot will take place on a small plane.

Your shoot schedule took over an hour to finalize. You met the stylist, and they assessed your hair. You'll meet some of the American photographers and production staff tomorrow.

You've been shown and instructed on the haircuts and make-up you'll be rocking. Fittings were completed, and an in-house photographer began capturing pre-images of the clothes on you. The Allure team was a highly skilled crew, and everything they did screamed quite professionalism.

Your management was finalizing everything with the editor-in-chief.

You spent over two hours at the magazine. A light meal was prepared for the crew.

At the hotel, your group decides to retire to your hotel rooms for some well-deserved rest. Your mother went to take a nap, and you informed your mother that you intended to order room service.

You dress in a sleep shirt in your room so that you can rest and watch dramas.

You discreetly delighted in Korean movies and shows, and it aided you in brushing up on your Korean language skills. You do not grasp the appeal of it.

You simply felt that you needed to learn it thoroughly. Maybe it's because your agency signed you up for two upcoming Allure magazine spreads. One in January and one in March of the following year. However, it appears that you will only be visiting Korea with your mom. Your agent was simply there to meet Michelle and her crew, who will be assisting you.

You lie in bed and watch two episodes of your favorite kdrama show. "Unrequited love." Until your phone started ringing. Jimmy.

You smile as you turn on the speaker.

He sounded delighted to have found you.

"Hello, darling...How did your flight go?"You could hear his deep voice speak.

"Hey, Jimmy...we had a fantastic flight. Everything went smoothly. The magazine arranged for us to stay in a high-end hotel. The Grand Hyatt. I'm with my mother in the presidential suite." You notified him, and you were thrilled to hear his voice.

"That's fantastic. But I've been thinking about you, Y/n." You chuckled as he whined. He can be such a baby at times.

"Oh, my gosh, you've got some abandonment issues."You crack a grin.

"That shoot is going to be a breeze for you tomorrow. I'm aware of what you said about allowing yourself time. Please don't make me wait much longer for your response." He sounds both melancholy and optimistic but remains hopeful.

"Jimmy, what if you become too attached to me and don't want to let go when my soulmate appears?" you ask tentatively.

"Daya...I'm going to set you free. For the time being, I'd want to refer to you as mine." His silky voice sounded seductive. You smirk.

"But what if I'm not ready for such an intimate getaway with you? Can't we simply be friends who go on friendly dates once in a while? I'll gladly accompany you wherever you want to go if you want me to. However, dating a soul-mark guy who has not yet been Tarnished registered is risky. If the system tracks us, I could lose my fortune, "You politely replied.

"Daya...I want to date you...please, please," he begged.

That's great. Jimmy can be entirely clinging at times. How can you date him while your heart is caught?

"Jimmy, why do you want to date me so severely? Is it because Tom Holland recently told a Hollyhood reporter that I'm his celebrity crush and that he'd like to ask me out on a date? Are you worried I'll say yes? "You can hear him huffing on the other end.

"I'll fight him for you," he chuckled. "I don't appreciate his annoying attention on you."

You chuckle."Don't be concerned. You are the first person in line before my soulmates arrive. His film director wants me to audition for the leading female part."

"OK... Tom is interested in you, Daya. He'll kiss you since he's in the lead...ugh, Let me give you some time to recover... I'll contact you again. Please don't fall in love with those adorable idols." Jimmy is a baby.

You grin and say, teasingly, "And they are quite handsome here."

Jimmy isn't pleased." No! Please, no. Please know that I love you. And I'm looking forward to hearing from you."

You simply sighed and hung up after a few minutes of talking. You were lying in your bed, reflecting on the events of the day. Why did Fate allow you to meet Kookie's girl/soulmate?

.......

The next day...on location

Allures'driver brought you here. You are sitting at the back of a black SUV van. The man was polite yet quiet. You, your mother, your agent, and your assistant sat with a bodyguard in the back. You're already thinking about your 21st birthday, soulmark, and soulmate. All you want is to be happy, marry the person you love, and have adorable children.

The driver dropped you off at the shooting location. The location was a local hangar, and the area was packed with production personnel, including those from the U.s.a.

The production assistants whisked you away to the wardrobe right away. There were gazebo tents for your crew. The atmosphere was exciting, and the director and photographer were barking orders at the staff.

You were dressed in the most fabulous designer outfits, and your make-up was done in bold colors.

The crew was ecstatic to be working with such a well-known figure. You were courteous and easy to work with. The photographer was head over heels in love with you. You can turn any expression into a story. You were a real artist with your eyes and motions. As some of the Korean crew members complimented her on her charming daughter, your mother sat there with an enormous grin on her face. They even said she'd be an excellent drama star.

"Whoa, nice work...Daya...raise your head a little...wonderful...wow..." You were getting directions from the photographer at a rapid speed, and you didn't want to smirk while he clicked rapidly.

You rock every shoot. The clothes were fabulous. It was from a young up-and-coming Korean designer who loved to design traditional Korean attire but now ventured into western wear.

You've been working for over four hours straight. You shot from a small plane. You were hesitant to stand, top, and pose. But you nail everything, and the team was ecstatic that this shot was one of the most exhilarating sessions ever. The primary model doesn't include haughty behavior or unreasonable demands. You quickly followed the directions and went above and beyond to provide the photographer with the ideal shot possible.

In one session, they even had to tease your hair in a wild updo. It could be the cover image, and you hope they'll use your best angles. After the shoot, everyone praised the crew for a job well done. For future job opportunities, the photographer consulted with your agent and manager.

He informed your agent that he had a modeling assignment in Japan booked in two months and that your face would be perfect for the concept. You smiled and left the formality to your managers.

Your agent informed him that you have a cover shoot and interview with Go-girl and Cosmo girl magazines in November, but they will notify him so that they can work around your schedule.

The magazine's editorial staff reserved a table at Soigne, an opulent Japanese restaurant. You and your crew were brought to lunch, and you were impressed with the place, making a mental note to return, ideally with your girls.

Soigne Restuarant

The next day

After an early breakfast, your group embarked on the much-anticipated bus tour of Seoul. You took a lot of pictures and videos for your Instagram page, and your girl's chat group. You appear bright in a pink and white floral shirt, white ankle leggings, and silver flats.

You went to the palaces. When you travel to the underground shopping malls, get some exciting merch for your group, such as adorable BTS t-shirts and stickers for your faces when you attend concerts. Gigi and Kendell are going to flip.

You even captured Showbiz companies, namely Bighit Agency. You and your mother snapped numerous selfies in front of the kpop bears. You snapped a few pictures in front of BTS, Blackpink, Twice, and Exo. The only kpop bands you've heard of.

You needed three more days to tour the city. You had your interview with a Korean Daily Newspaper. With your crew's approval, you went to a Korean BBQ with Felix. He said he'd watch after you. The number of admiring glances you received from Felix was remarkable. He was utterly armored with you, and he needed your mobile number to keep in touch with you. You like him enough to give it to him. You will need friends in Korea if you come again for ALLURE shoots.

He inquired about your soulmate during your date and was startled to learn that you are still underage and will receive your mark in a few weeks. Your mother was astounded because you drew a diverse variety of men to you, and you appear to be everyone's type.

You were just giggling at that silliness.

Felix nearly fell out of his chair when you spoke to the waitress in perfect Korean. He was astounded, and the waiter's mouth almost dropped to the floor, and both immediately asked how you learned their language, including slang phrases. You smirk inwardly.

There are many things that your friends and family are unaware of...

Tomorrow you will fly to Tokyo and support Kendell on her fashion week appearance. You and your mom and bodyguard will be going and the rest of the crew will fly back home.

You were contentedly relaxing on your bed. You had another successful shoot under your belt. Your phone was exploding from the images you sent. You received 81 000 likes on Instagram for a single image. You simply shook your head. People are ridiculously fascinated with celebrities.

When your phone rings with the track "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga, you wonder why Kendell called you privately. She is already in Tokyo.

When she crashed with the "door into the house," you didn't even get a chance to greet or say a decent "hello."

"Daya! Oh my goodness! What the heck is happening !!! Could you please explain to me why you're on the cover of a teen magazine in 2013 with a young 'Jeon Jungkook!!! "She yelled in bewilderment.

Your pupils dilate in pure horror," W...what!- " Your entire body felt paralyzed as you collapsed back on the bed in shock.
