"Huh? Working with Alvaro Edna for his photobook? Who is Alvaro Edna?"
Mi jung gave a surprised reaction to what manager jin just told them. Apparently a photographer named Alvaro Edna wanted him and haneul to appear in his photobook as main models. But since mi jung didn't know anything about this Alvaro Edna, he just kept on muching on his sandwich after asking whatever he wanted to ask.
Haneul took a side glance to the younger boy next to him that was blissfully ignorant of the situation. He didn't know if he should laugh or cry. Alvora Edna was a big shot in the industry, many famous celebrites wanted to work with him but they either couldn't get a hold of him or would get brutally rejected for trying to contact him privately. This boy that was chosen as a main model of such an important person kept munching on his sandwich adorably without a clue. Haneul patted mi jung's head a little before opening his mouth to explain.
"Alvaro Edna is a very famous photographer. He won countless awards and is very hard to get in contact to. He is only working with people he wants to work. This time us, getting chosen and as main models to booth is an amazing feat that many celebrities yearn for."
Mi jung raised his eyebrows in surprise. Why would someone as famous as him would want two idols as his main models? Such an important position, shouldn't it be given to some very famous artists?
Jin hwan puffed a sigh. Even though it was an amazing opportunity for the boys , it was also a double edged sword. If they weren't up to par and performed badly their careers would end without flourishing. They would get harshly critisized and attacked by the fans. Not to mention the other famous people featuring in the photobook. Those people would chase after Edna to just to beg him to appear in the book. Jin hwan didn't know which celebrities there were but was worried about how they might scorn the boys and get angry after seeing two fresh idols as main models. Jin hwan saw a headache coming.
"Do you remember the shooting you did for the X brand four days ago? The photographer of that shoot was Edna. I have no idea why he was working there but after the shoot he came to talk to me about you two. He told me that you two were very suitable for the positions but he still wants to train you two before starting the shooting for the photobook. Company certainly won't let go of such an opportunity so you two should take care of your complexions and skin conditions. There will be a meeting on the company on tuesday. Edna wanted you two to be present on the meeting as well so i will come get you at 13.30."
Jin hwan stood up prepearing to leave. Mi jung suddenly stopped him by asking a question.
"Ah! Manager jin what about my evaluation of language, singing and dancing? Two months ended already."
Mi jung suddenly remembered that he had to pass a test in order to continue working as an idol. Even after two months they still didn't ask him to perform or take a language test. He had confidence in his skills since he worked hard for it and he was looking forward to getting acknowledged by the company.
Jin hwan wasn't the person to hold back on his lwords so he sharply answered. His tone had an edge to it as if he was not satisfied with the things they were.
" You have been in the limelight for awhile and now, Edna wants you as his model. There is no way we're going to pull you back from your group. After featuring in Edna's photobook even if you can't walk or talk, company will not let you go. Just take care of yourself and continue working hard. There is no one that knows what might happen after a year or two."
He sounded mean but mi jung knew he was telling these to him truthfully. Mi jung lost his memories and in this industry that was like a wild forest, he was a baby boy with a lot of openings. Ferocious animals of the entertainment circle would eat him up if he slipped in anyway. Being in the spotlight meant that every part of you would be exposed. Even the tiniest mistake would not escape from people's eyes.
Being a main model for a well known big shot of the industry might either make or break mi jung's career. Feeling a surge of uneasiness he felt thankful that they would get some training before the shooting. Getting a training from Edna would benefit him a lot. The photographer was a perfectionst with a temper. He would teach them very good but...
Mi jung knitted his eyebrows and thought of how the man was shouting right and left, mercilessly critisizing with words sharper than knife. Mi jung suddenly had a flashback of a certain teacher of his that would even train him his sleep. Roger's training was a hell and mi jung couldn't help but shiver thinking about Edna's training swallowing the lump in his throat. It would probably be another training from hell.
