Episode 6
Muse
Seeking Photography Model
Stage Arts Department Dokgo Min
‘Modeling part-time job?’
There wasn’t much proper information written, but that didn’t matter.
Because the name written there. That was what mattered.
“Found it….”
I could tell without even looking. That this was someone who definitely had Artistry B.
Because Dokgo Min was that kind of person.
My heart raced at that name.
‘If I have Dokgo Min… I can succeed at the second mission right away.’
I immediately called the number written on the poster.

Dokgo Min. When you think of photographers in South Korea, she’s the first person who comes to mind.
When she pressed the shutter once, whether it was actors, idols, or models, that would become their signature photo.

-National Treasure Flavor TV (3k likes)
-Just Dogyeol’s essential filmography lololol it’s amazing (900 likes)
Among them, the most notable was the hanbok photoshoot of Do Gyeoul, who’s said to be one of South Korea’s top 3 actresses, and Dokgo Min, who was a college student intern at the time, instantly rose to the top with that one hanbok photoshoot.
‘Because that photo was displayed in New York Times Square.’
The Tourism Board went all out, and Do Gyeoul’s drama that year was a mega hit.
‘The news also extensively featured Dokgo Min’s photos.’
Thanks to Do Gyeoul’s advancement to Cannes, Dokgo Min worked with Hollywood actors, and domestically, she received so many love calls that she only photographed celebrities she wanted to work with.
‘How much is Dokgo Min’s fee now, meeting her at this time is really…!’
I was about to think it was lucky.
The door swung open right in front of my nose and a sharp voice rang out.
“I’m not shooting! Get lost! One press of my shutter costs more than your life! Get lost quickly!”
A man who couldn’t even put his shoes on properly stumbled out. Not seeing me, Dokgo Min spat out harsh curses and closed the door.
Bang-!!!
In that fleeting moment, above Dokgo Min’s head that passed by, bright red letters were written.
I froze in place.
“Lucky….”
Maybe not….
Not only was there a debuff, but her temper was much worse when she was a college student.
‘If I go in now, I probably won’t see anything good.’
What should I do about this.
While I was pondering, the system opened an additional window as if to encourage me.
Yeah. If you give me a reward, I’ll do it.
In the current situation, it’s not easy to find an artist of Dokgo Min’s caliber.
“Looking at the long term, she’s perfect to use as a connection.”
Even bringing a hundred useless seniors to use as extra sacrifices wouldn’t compare to one Dokgo Min.
‘This time I can’t be pushed aside by Do Gyeoul’s connections.’
Before debuting, I need to make as many allies as possible in the entertainment industry. So Do Gyeoul can’t interfere.
“Alright. Let’s go with the bribery strategy.”
Fortunately, I had thoroughly studied all of Dokgo Min’s interviews in my previous life, so it wouldn’t be difficult. I smirked.
* * *
A muse. She needed a muse.
Dokgo Min, who had been suffering from a slump since becoming a sophomore in college, thought so. She desperately needed something to give her inspiration.
“All below expectations. No, below average….”
Dokgo Min drew red lines through the list of people who had contacted her.
“If their face looks decent, they’re clumsy, and if they pose well, they lack charm-!”
There was no one who made her feel the desire to capture them through the viewfinder.
“So~ annoying~.”
Especially among them, the aspiring model who came just before was the worst.
“Not only was his body reeking of cigarette smoke-!”
When she refused the shoot, he even had the audacity to ask how much a mere photo would cost.
Just as she was irritably spraying room spray, the bell to Dokgo Min’s studio rang.
“Hello, I’m Han Yeoreum, here for the model interview today.”
Dokgo Min, who immediately opened the door wide, circled around Yeoreum like a cat and habitually gave her instant evaluation.
“Cute. Good skin. Especially the nose tip and lips are smooth and round, giving a favorable impression. Yes yes. The double eyelid line only showing at the ends when viewed from the front is also nice.”
And above all, she smelled good.
To Dokgo Min who was sniffing, Han Yeoreum smiled and took something out of the shopping bag in her hand.
“The person who left earlier smelled like cigarettes….”
It was white lilies, Dokgo Min’s favorite flower.
Dokgo Min felt her nose, which had been filled with cigarette smell just moments before, become fragrant. Her lost concentration instantly returned.
“Mm-hmm~.”
Dokgo Min’s eyes blinked slowly like pressing a camera shutter.
Her pupils containing Yeoreum shone sharply.
Sparkle!
It was the moment Yeoreum’s skill took effect on Dokgo Min.
Fluttering hair with a pure white t-shirt, large and elegant white lilies held in small hands, sunlight shining from behind.
Dokgo Min wanted to capture this scene.
“You.”
Dokgo Min summed up Han Yeoreum with that one word.
“I like it.”
* * *
‘Thank you, Cigarette Boy.’
Thanks to your sacrifice, I’m now able to stand in front of Dokgo Min.
‘Still, I hope you’ll fix that terrible habit of smoking before meetings.’
I had been standing in front of Dokgo Min for dozens of minutes as she paced around in circles.
“But what should I do? I want to shoot. I like it. But something that really catches the eye, hmm. So like~. Taking what I usually do and twisting it a bit. Developing it. Making it a little better. So it really catches the eye.”
Dokgo Min was spilling out the words in her head directly from her mouth.
I kept my mouth shut so Dokgo Min could think more freely.
‘Status window.’
And I checked Dokgo Min’s status window once more.
Her Artistry was high enough to succeed the mission.
‘The problem is that debuff underneath that high Artistry.’
Even if we shot now, I couldn’t succeed the mission that the status window required.
‘Should I start making my move now?’
I remembered all the pictorial photos that Dokgo Min had shot.
Dokgo Min’s preferences, her preferred angles, even the pictorial from her portfolio that she liked most.
It was all in my head.
‘That’s why I brought the white lily too.’
-The reason I got to collaborate with Do Gyeoul? Hmm~, I guess the reason we got such great shots was because I liked her that much… She brought me white lilies to our meeting. I love white lilies the most among all flowers. So much that I rush straight to the flower shop when I’m stressed.
Before my regression, Dokgo Min’s style was solid and unique.
‘Her distinctive color was recognizable at a glance even among countless photos.’
Among them, she was especially brilliant at using natural light.
She mixed it with artificial lighting to create Dokgo Min’s own unique color palette.
‘Where was it…’
Among the row of lights, I found Dokgo Min’s identity.
‘This is it.’
I walked a couple steps forward and pointed to one of the lights with my hand.
“What if we use this?”
It was a blue light.
The cool and refreshing colored lighting wasn’t typically used for Profile Photo shoots.
‘It was better suited for concept photos.’
The style for current actor and model Profile Photos was generally set in stone.
Serious and natural.
Most were shot wearing black turtleneck sweaters under dark black and white lighting, or wearing white shirts between shadowy main lighting that created deep shadows.
‘But Dokgo Min was different.’
Dokgo Min was the one who created a new style for Profile Photos.
She shot Blue Light onto slightly wet hair to make it look like someone had just emerged from water.
Like a primordial form. Clear and transparent.
“Blue lighting… hmm~.”
Above the murmuring Dokgo Min’s head, the red debuff text faded and reappeared.
‘She doesn’t seem to get it yet.’
Click-.
When I turned on the Blue Light, her face brightened dramatically. Cool light covered her white t-shirt.
I presented the example to Dokgo Min.
‘React, Dokgo Min.’
