Episode 7
* * *
Dokgo Min stared intently at the subject placed before her eyes. An alien color had infiltrated the familiar space.
Hazy dust flowed out from between the Blue Light that had been shoved into a corner with no use.
“Blue…”
Han Yeoreum had pulled something out from Dokgo Min’s mind, which had been unable to find direction until just moments ago.
“I thought this kind of lighting might be good too. Something unfamiliar. Since Dokgo Min sunbae uses colors so well.”
Dokgo Min had been suffering from a long slump. She had tried everything desperately to escape the slump.
‘Right… Why didn’t I think of this until now.’
She had changed her Studio, changed her Camera, and constantly changed models, but there was no one anywhere who could give Dokgo Min inspiration.
“If we adjust the lighting like this-“
Han Yeoreum changed the angle of the lighting that hadn’t warmed up yet.
The light surrounding Yeoreum’s face rippled according to the lighting’s movement.
That brief movement conveyed various sensations to Dokgo Min.
“Han Yeoreum…”
Cool, clear, vivid, and fresh.
“This angle right now.”
In that instant, Dokgo Min’s opaque inspiration suddenly took shape.
“Good.”
Simple and clear words came from Dokgo Min’s mouth, which had been chattering nonstop.
‘Got it.’
Yeoreum grinned, recalling Dokgo Min’s interview from before her regression.
-Inspiration, hmm~… I’m actually quite scattered. I can’t organize my thoughts well before working. But once I get hooked on something, that’s when I become clean. Both in my head and in my speech.
As if confirming Yeoreum’s thoughts, Dokgo Min’s mouth slowly curved upward.
Her cat-like eyes thoroughly scanned Yeoreum as if she wouldn’t let go for even a moment. It was a gaze fiercely contemplating how to capture her perfectly within the lens.
“Hmm~ Let me correct that.”
Dokgo Min approached Yeoreum closely and studied her from all directions, moving her head around.
“It’s not just that I like you…”
Dokgo Min filled her eyes with longing as she looked at Yeoreum. Then she blinked with emphasis.
Click, click. As if pressing the Shutter repeatedly.
“I like you quite a lot.”
Yeoreum smiled brightly at Dokgo Min’s evaluation. It was an expression that suited the blue lighting perfectly.
For a moment, Dokgo Min’s eyes sparkled with joy.
“This isn’t the time for this! Right now! This is the moment!”
Dokgo Min shouted loudly and moved quickly.
Clank, clank, clank.
She set up the Tripod high, reset the angle of the Monitor beside it, and roughly inserted the Battery from the charging Camera.
The blue light from the lighting enveloped Dokgo Min as she adjusted her Glasses.
“What are you doing? Don’t just stand there dazed, come here quickly!”
Confidence cast a thick shadow like a silhouette on Dokgo Min’s profile as she turned her head to call Yeoreum.
“I’ll show you a face you’ve never seen before.”
Click-!
The Shutter sound echoed throughout the Studio.
It was the moment when the muse of one of the most renowned genius photographers was born.
* * *
Dokgo Min connected the Camera to the computer and tried to select the photos she liked.
‘Just pick the A-cuts and delete everything else.’
This was Dokgo Min’s familiar method.
Anything below A-cuts would never be looked at again anyway and were the main culprits of taking up storage space.
“Hmm~ This is trouble.”
However, Dokgo Min, who had been scrolling down quickly, was caught in a big dilemma.
“Why?”
“They’re all A-cuts. So many of them, all of them! As expected, my genius hasn’t rusted.”
Truly all of them were A-cuts. No, there were quite a few that could even be called S-cuts beyond A-cuts.
“I thought it was a slump, but that was just taking one step back to leap higher… This should be seen as a talent akin to terror.”
Dokgo Min classified the files while marking each photo with a heart.
Click, click, click.
The sound of continuously clicking the mouse could be heard. Dokgo Min was so absorbed that she didn’t even hear Yeoreum leaving and concentrated in a state of rapture.
‘Where did this come from?’
The Acting Department, was it?
The model who came to find her today was literally Acting in front of the lens.
She was gazing this way with different looks in each cut.
‘There isn’t a single scene worth discarding?’
Han Yeoreum never had an awkward moment in front of the lens. Not even for a single moment.
‘Where…’
No matter how professional a model might be, it was natural to waste the first few cuts when standing in front of a Camera.
This was because countless variables existed in a single photo, such as facial muscle movements and face angles that needed to be adjusted according to lighting.
‘But what’s with her.’
Originally, actors were said to be a profession that spoke with their eyes. They had to express all emotions with their eyes and tell the stories within them.
‘How can she be like this…’
Furthermore, actors had to arouse curiosity with just their gaze. Han Yeoreum satisfied all those conditions.
‘You can do well, right?’
As if telling people to look at her, as if no amount of attention would be enough.
Click, click, click.
Dokgo Min stayed up all night caressing Han Yeoreum’s photos.
Han Yeoreum (132)
Thus, Dokgo Min finished all the retouching without deleting a single photo.
‘Somehow I feel like I’ll have occasion to look at Han Yeoreum’s photos again…’
No, she definitely would.

Ding-!
“Finally!!!”
When I checked my status window, the newly acquired title was sparkling brightly.
‘This is pretty satisfying.’
The second status window contained the reward I received for removing Dokgo Min’s debuff.
“It’s roughly similar to a game system.”
I need to level up first, that’s it.
“Then let me start by completing the remaining mission.”
Buzz-.
My cell phone rang at perfect timing. It was photos sent by Dokgo Min.
“Perfect. I should upload them right away.”
I clicked on the file Dokgo Min sent. But the scrolling never seemed to end.
“What kind of photos… are there so many?”
With Dokgo Min’s pride, even giving three or four photos would be amazing, but she sent a huge file compressed and everything.
“Let me sign up for SNS first.”
I was contemplating which photos to upload from these when I opened the app first.
I hadn’t rejoined Yusta, which I had quit when I became a senior.
Therefore, 0 followers, 0 following.
“I’ll make a separate sub-account.”
The entertainment industry is like politics.
If the wrong person happens to be mixed in among your follower list, it’s bound to cause backlash.
[HOT] Bang Munhwan’s follower list that’s currently being called problematic (feat. That fam)
Let’s find out the connections of the actor who fell from grace due to drinking recently!
(Photo)
Someone who was mentioned in an initial article but still didn’t learn their lesson and got exposed for their power abuse ㅜㅜ
(Photo)
Someone who got dragged for past interviews but now acts all clean and puts on this concept ㅜㅜ
(Photo)
Someone who usually doesn’t match my vibe but desperately acted like we were close friends, then cut me off through their story as soon as drama happened ㅜㅜ
(Photo)
The lineup is absolutely flawless lmaooo I’m so disillusioned with the entertainment industry, now I get why they say not to trust people who just put makeup on their faces~
Anonymous1 and seeing it like this is so fucking creepy ㅋㄱㅋㅋㅋㅜㅜㅠㅜㅜㅠ
Anonymous2 They didn’t even think to hide it… I’m embarrassed that I once liked them
Anonymous3 But it’s hilarious that there’s some actor who’s been getting good reactions lately among the group chat members they’re close with ㅋㅋㅋ
˪Anonymous 17 I think the same way sob sob…!
˪Anonymous 24, who is it?ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Please tell us at least with initials, I’m begging you
˪Anonymous 35 No way, their fans will swarm
“Just among the people at our school right now…”
As far as I know, at least three or more will disappear due to controversies.
“There’s nothing good about getting involved unnecessarily.”
And including the people I’ll meet in the future. There’s nothing bad about being careful about everything.
“My goal is only one thing.”
To build solid relationships that can stand against Do Gyeoul’s connections.
“Then shall I start in earnest now.”
This is truly the shortcut to success.
