Legendary Superstar-Chapter 128: Get Ready

Minjae enjoyed his rest for the next few days. After the audition, Donghyun made sure he had time to rest, assuring him that he deserved a break after the intense preparation.

He spent most of his days lounging around his small apartment, catching up on some shows he had missed and simply taking a nap whenever he felt like it.

It was peaceful.

However, that peace didn't last long as just after 3 days, he was now back to another shooting. Lux & Co. invited him again for another shoot. This time he wasn't alone. He was together with other models whom he had never met before.

The moment Minjae arrived at the studio, he noticed the difference right away.

The set was filled with excitement as numerous stylists, photographers, and staff moved around. The backdrop of the set was colorful and playful, though they used a variety of earthy tones to compliment the fall season.

Minjae spotted Yewon almost immediately. She was carrying a folder in her hands as she directed a few stylists on what to do on the side. However, when Yewon spotted Minjae, she immediately stopped what she was doing and waved at him enthusiastically.

They have been waiting for Minjae for so long since he'd be the main character for today's shoot.

"Minjae! You're here!" she greeted out loud as she tucked the clipboard under her arm.

"Hello," Minjae greeted her and a few other crew members who he passed by.

"Today's shoot is going to be a lot more dynamic than the last time since it's for the advertisement. Are you ready?"

"Yup." Minjae answered enthusiastically. "I'm not late, am I?" his forehead creased when he noticed that almost everyone was already done dressing up.

It confused Minjae since the schedule was 2 in the afternoon. Currently, it's only 1:30. He's even early and yet, it seemed like he's already late.

"Oh nope," Yewon chuckled when she noticed where Minjae's gaze was staring.

"They're dressed early since they had to do a few picture first without you."

"Ahh, I see…" Minjae reluctantly nodded.

"Anyways, let's get you to your room now. We don't want to fall behind schedule," Yewon urged as she guided toward the dressing area.

Minjae was soon surrounded by stylists, their hands working expertly to get him ready. The outfit they chose for him was casual yet stylish. It was a bright and loose-fitting shirt paired with a khaki trousers and white sneakers.

It looked simple, but the differences between the two styles were really highlighted.

Once he was done, he stepped out to join the others in the set.

"Hello, Hyung!" A cheerful voice greeted him. Minjae turned to see a young man with dyed blonde hair flashing him a friendly smile.

"I'm Mark."

"I'm Minjae," he replied, returning the smile. "Nice to meet you."

Mark's smile faded a bit as he looked around nervously. His fingers kept tugging at his sleeve, and Minjae could tell that he was nervous.

"First time?" Minjae asked, curiosity lacing in his voice.

"Yeah..." Mark admitted, his voice low. "I've always wanted to be a model, but getting a chance like this doesn't happen often. So when I got called for this shoot, I was shocked. It's a big deal for me."

"I can see that. You look like you're about to pass out." Minjae chuckled.

"It's that obvious? Oh no..." Mark laughed awkwardly, getting even more nervous at it.

They already did a few pictures on their own, but still, he can't seem to relax.

"Relax." Minjae patted his shoulder. "Just follow the instructions and have fun. This shoot's supposed to be enjoyable, right?"

"I guess... I just don't want to mess it up. This could be my only chance."

"It won't be your only chance. Just do your best. Good luck, Mark."

"Thanks..." Mark looked a bit calmer and managed a real smile.

"Alright, everyone! Gather around!"

As soon as Seheon's voice loudly rang out, everyone immediately gathered around him. As usual, Seheon was behind the camera. He was also the photographer for today's shoot.

Minjae joined the group of models as Seheon went over the concept.

The shoot today will all be about fun, youth, and connection. They were encouraged to be playful, natural, and expressive on their poses.

"Just pretend you're hanging out with friends," Seheon instructed. "We want those candid, carefree moments."

The first few shots were individual ones, where Minjae was instructed to pose with a few props, such as holding a bouquet of flowers and playfully tossing them in the air.

Seheon's encouragements were also constant, keeping the mood light and fun.

But it was the group shots that really brought the energy up.

Minjae found himself paired with Mark and a couple of other models. They acted as if they were laughing as they posed together. It doesn't feel like a professional photoshoot at all

Somehow, it was refreshing.

"Minjae, try moving more sideways," Seheon instructed Minjae carefully as he looked at his camera with keen details.

"The two on the side leaned in a bit closer to Minjae. Yeah, like that. Perfect!"

As soon as Seheon said those words, the camera flashed and another photo was taken.

They continued to take various shots. There were some that they were all jumping in the air.

When they finally wrapped up the shoot after a few hours, Minjae was breathless but there was still a smile on his face.

Seheon get off his camera. He stretched his neck and gave Minjae a big thumbs up.

"Nice job, Minjae! You did amazing," he praised.

"Thanks hyung."

"Also, Lux & Co. was thrilled with how everything turned out on your first shoot. They said you really brought out the vibe they were looking for." Seheon laughed while he exchanged a few smile with the other models who were greeting him.

"That's good to hear." Minjae was thankful.

"Oh, and one more thing." The corner of Seheon's lips rose to the sides. "They're planning to upload a few shots from the first photoshoot in 2 days as a teaser. For the collection."

"That soon?"

"Yup. They want to build on the hype before releasing today's shoot later on." Seheon chuckled. "So, get ready. You might be seeing a lot more attention soon."
