Word Count: 1, 978

Summary: KPOP Idol AU! You're hired to be a model for a wedding themed photoshoot. The problem is, your partner is Lee Minhyuk and the public isn't aware of your relationship yet.

Warning/s: Slight innuendo.

Dedication: To my friend, @concretelyabstractself. To those days when we were busy looking for shoes you had to use for a debut photoshoot that somehow led to me writing this little story. I wish you happiness in the days to come. ✌️

Note/s: This has not seen the light of grammar check and it is pretty dated so I'm sorry in advance.

"Okay, so shoes. What shoes?" Ae-Cha asked as I led her and Mi-Cha to a shoe store.

I told them the heel's height, the shoe size and that the color should be white.

"What's this for again?" Ae-Cha asked as she looked around the store.

"It's for a shoot." I replied as I browsed some shoes at a corner.

"What's the theme?" Mi-Cha asked.

"Wedding theme." I replied and I could see Ae-Cha's eye widen when she looked at me.

"Who's the groom?" Mi-Cha asked.

"Did I say that there was a groom?" I asked.

"Of course. In a wedding shoot, there is a bride and a groom." Mi-Cha started to explain.

"I wonder who's the groom." Ae-Cha said. "Just in case I need to put your boyfriend in a room so he wouldn't go berserk during your photoshoot."

"Actually, it's just him who's going to be the groom." I finally gave in and told them.

Mi-Cha gave Ae-Cha a look. Ae-Cha was confused for a moment before she opened her mouth and she slowly nodded.

"Ae-Cha, stop that." I said. "Close your mouth. I can see something else."

Ae-Cha closed her mouth and she raised an eyebrow.

Mi-Cha laughed. She probably got the reference.

"Ah, let's just get this over with." Ae-Cha said and she took a pair of shoes off a table. "Here."

"Oh, this is nice." I commented as I observed the shoes. "But I don't think it's going to be all that comfortable."

"How about this one?" Mi-Cha suggested as she showed me a pair.

"Um, I don't like the style." I said after I observed it.

"How about this one?" Ae-Cha asked with a mischievous smirk on her face as she showed me the most weirdest looking shoes I have ever seen.

"Ae-Cha!" Mi-Cha laughed as she playfully smacked her on the head.

I smiled at them.

This is going to take a while.

"Guys, I think we better go back to the dorm for a while. We have practice soon." Ae-Cha said as she looked at her watch.

"Yeah, we should." I agreed. "Iseul and Eun-Kyung must be finished recording."

I could see Ae-Cha bite her lip in an attempt to stop laughing.

"I'm sorry." She said when she laughed out loud.

"Hoy! Don't underestimate Eun-Kyung." Mi-Cha said, seriously. "She's good at rapping."

She laughed at her own saying and Ae-Cha just laughed along.

Aish, these two. Why are you teasing our leader?

"But in all honesty though," Ae-Cha said when she finally composed herself. "I love Eun-Kyung. In a friendly sisterly way. Cause she's the best!"

"Even if she teases you a lot?" I raised an eyebrow at her as I remembered every innuendo Eun-Kyung says about Ae-Cha.

"Well," Ae-Cha said. "I'll always find a way to get revenge."

She laughed away, it was almost as if she was a villain. Evil, evil laugh.

"Hah, this is why we shouldn't leave her alone with Ilhoon." I muttered.

Two maknaes. Two evil maknaes.

Ae-Cha's not evil but she can be, besides it's Ilhoon.

It's gonna get chaotic. I just know it. Deep, deep, deeeeeeppppp down inside.

"Guys, let's go!" Mi-Cha said and we all went back to the dorm.

"Okay, how about this one?" Iseul asked as she showed me a pair of shoes.

After practice, we all went to find me a pair of white heels for the shoot again. This time with Iseul and Eun-Kyung.

"Hey, that's good." I took it and examined it more.

"Well, there's only like two white heels in this one." Iseul said. "The rest are silver."

"Hah, Silverlight!" I teased Ae-Cha and she just rose an eyebrow before she smiled.

"Wow, no reaction today?" Mi-Cha asked.

"Eh," Ae-Cha walked away and took a pair. "What about this one?"

When I saw it, I kind of liked the way it was designed.

"Try it on!" Mi-Cha said.

Actually, I tried on a lot of shoes before I finally brought one.

"Hmmm. . ." Iseul said thoughtfully. "Maybe I should buy one too."

"Yeah, me too." Mi-Cha said.

"I think all of us needs one." Eun-Kyung said. "Ae-Cha needs one since you're gonna be a host in an event, right?"

"It's just a cosplay event, no biggie." Ae-Cha shrugged.

"No biggie? Who's the character you're gonna cosplay?" I asked. "The shoes depends on that character, right?"

"Yeah," Ae-Cha said. "I'm going to cosplay as Judy Hopps! From Zootopia!"

"Good luck then!" Iseul said. "She doesn't really wear heels, right?"

"Yep, and my co-host is Liui Aquino and he's gonna be Nick Wilde. You know, the fox." Ae-Cha said.

"Ha, good luck. Don't let Eunkwang jealous." Eun-Kyung teased. "I heard that Liui is a really handsome guy."

"Eh, we're just good friends." Ae-Cha said. "Eunkwang knows anyway."

"Ok," I nodded. "Good luck to all of us then."

All of us has stuff to do.

Eun-Kyung is going to be featured in a talk show in a few days so I can understand why she thinks she needs a new pair of shoes.

Mi-Cha is going to be a judge in a dance show, the details are still a little rough around the edges and she's not sure if she'll take it but that doesn't mean that she shouldn't be prepared to look good whether or not she'll take the job.

Iseul? She seems to be having a photoshoot too in a few days for her solo album after she finishes the recordings.

Ae-Cha is going to host a cosplay event with Liui Aquino. A host should always look good but her's is like a Halloween costume party, accuracy of the character is what she craves.

And then there's me with the wedding photoshoot with none other than my boyfriend, Lee Minhyuk, as my groom.

We all need luck.

"There! You're ready!" The make-up artist said.

"Thank you." I smiled at her before I saw her go get the first gown I was going to use.

I looked at myself in the mirror and sighed.

Relax.

It's gonna be fine.

"Let's change into your dress?" I heard her ask and I nodded.

She helped me into my dress and after that she placed the veil on my head.

"Well, you're ready!" She said with a satisfied smile before she left to inform the photographer.

I looked at myself in the mirror and took my reflection in.

The gown was beautiful and the veil just made it look gorgeous. I really felt like a real bride.

I could almost feel myself tear up but I stopped myself because I don't want to ruin the make-up artist's effort.

"Ah, she's having a moment." She nodded. "Maybe you should wait for a while."

I looked behind me and I saw her and Minhyuk at the doorway of the dressing room. Minhyuk had a bouquet of flowers in his hand and his other hand was in the pocket of his pants. He looked really charming in his tuxedo.

"Well, looks like she's done." Minhyuk said and he walked towards me to give me the flowers.

"You look beautiful." He whispered in my ear.

"Don't flatter me." I said as a warning but he just smirked.

"It's the truth." He said and he held out his arm for me to loop in. "Let's go attend the wedding?"

"Okay, look at her like she's your whole world." The photographer said and Minhyuk did what he was told.

He looked at my eyes with love and I looked back at him with the same emotion as the photographer took some pictures.

"Okay, now get closer with each other. Hands on her cheeks, Minhyuk. Okay? Look down at her lips like you're going to kiss her. You look at his lips too." The photographer said.

We did that but I can't help but think.

Did I tell you that we haven't publicly said me and Minhyuk are together? Well, now you know. And this is a very tight situation we're in. I hope Minhyuk doesn't do anything overboard. I hope I don't do anything overboard.

"Good, good. Wow, you two have so much chemistry." The photographer snapped more photos. "Now, how about a kiss?"

I looked at the photographer surprised.

What?

"Hey, isn't that a bit too much?" Minhyuk said.

At least you have the initiative to stop him. Thank you.

Because you know how we cannot control our kisses yet.

Long story, don't ask.

"This is a wedding themed photoshoot. In a wedding, there will always be a kissing scene." The photographer said.

"But isn't it going too much out of her boundary?" Minhyuk asked.

"You are an actor, you kissed a whole lot of girls onscreen. What makes kissing her any different?" The photographer asked that made my blood boil. "Unless?"

"Unless what?" I snapped. "Did you even ask me what I would feel kissing this guy?"

They both looked at me surprised.

"Look, we can just find another pose." Minhyuk tried to bargain.

"I'm sorry but I was given a list." The photographer said. "Besides, if you didn't want to get kissed in this shoot then you shouldn't have taken the job in the first place."

I sighed.

"Also, why are you even so concerned about this?" The photographer asked Minhyuk.

Well, this escalated quickly. We need an escape route fast and not let anyone know.

"Okay, okay." I said before Minhyuk can reply. "I'll do it."

I nodded and looked at Minhyuk.

"We'll do it."

Minhyuk bit his lip before he nodded slowly.

"Okay, then." The photographer nodded. "Just take your time, indulge in the moment."

Minhyuk cupped my cheek and looked directly at my eyes, he looked a little worried.

"You sure?" He whispered and I just nodded.

Let's get this done.

He kissed my lips and I could hear the clicking of the camera.

Be satisfied, Mr. Photographer! Because I am not doing this again!

I started to kiss back and I could almost feel it becoming heated.

Oh, his lips.

"Okay, okay!" The photographer called. "Break it up, lovebirds!"

I opened my eyes and I pulled away.

"Thanks for the great poses." The photographer said. "Dismissed!"

I sighed.

Yes! Finally over!

I started to walk towards the dressing room and I started to put on my normal everyday clothes to meet up with the girls.

But before that, I checked my phone for a while and saw that Ae-Cha has a text message: I kinda have a weird feeling about this photoshoot. Be careful!

Aigooo, this kid and her sixth sense. But somehow they always end up true, you know? I think I'll just be careful.

I put my phone in my bag and was about to leave the room when the door opened and Minhyuk went in.

"Sorry about awhile ago." He apologized.

I nodded a bit.

"It's okay, I'm sorry for almost losing my temper." I said with a sheepish grin.

He touched my chin and made me look up at him before he placed a kiss on my lips.

When we pulled away, we smiled at each other.

"How would you feel about announcing our relationship to the public?" He asked.

"Hah, you're so daring." I chuckled. "But it would be great that we can stop this charade with people already if we do announce our relationship."

I took a deep breath.

We should really stop this.

"Well, not right away." He suggested. "We'll think about it then maybe plan it. Ask advice from our managers and our members."

I nodded and I hugged him, he hugged back and he gently stroked my hair.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah."

We stayed like that for a while like the world stopped for us.

I wish when we finally reveal it to the public it would turn out like the white satin fabric of the gown: pure and almost faultless. Nothing to hide finally.

The End

What I didn't expect was bawling my eyes out at 3 AM because he gave me hope—genuine freaking hope after living like a lifeless corpse since who knows how long—from the moment I saw him on that screen.

He made me feel safe. Like things would be alright. That I'll be alright despite the fact that I am not the person that everyone loved before shit hit the fan. I felt so relieved just by seeing him there.

And this is so new to me. I never expected this. I don't think I've been this attached to a character before.

I guess this is what they mean to say about comfort characters, huh?

I expected a lot of great things from the new Superman film.

It's his birthday today and I thought 'oh, let's listen to Unchaimed Melody' which I haven't listened to before or at least I don't remember listening to his version of it before recently. And I was already thinking about mortality and how someone pointed out that with the release of 'Now and Then', we now have a Beatles songs our parents and grandparents don't know about which got me thinking of my father and how he's been dead for seven years and is also the reason I got into these music in the forst place.
