"Who are you?" asked Katsuki. He was absolutely sure that he had never met that person.
That person seemed to know Shouki very well and was close to Shouki. It was shown from his words earlier, he could mention Shouki's personal things and also call Shouki by his first name.
"You don't know huh? Hmm, surely Shouki hasn't introduced me to you." The man then extended his hand to Katsuki. "My name is Tosaka. Hidorima Tosaka. Feel free to call me by my first name, okay?"
Katsuki was dumbfounded, the person in front of this was his brother Shouki. Whether distant or close relatives, but in essence this man was the Shouki family.
Katsuki returned Tosaka's handshake with a stiff motion. He was very surprised because he would meet someone who was from the Shouki family. Shouki didn't tell Katsuki that his family was in this company.
"Why? You suddenly look different. Hahaha, I'm from the Hidorima family, why do you feel awkward? I'm not a mother who will comment on your appearance or your background in life. Don't worry, I'm a friendly and fun person. I'm a kind brother." Tosaka smiled. But Katsuki was more sure that the smile was more suitable to be called a smirk.
"I'm not awkward, maybe you're the only one who feels that way. Nice to meet you, I don't have much time, excuse me."
Katsuki didn't want to waste time, maybe now the activities at that place had started. He didn't want to be late just because he was serving someone he'd only known two minutes ago. He didn't care who it was, and even Shouki had said that his relationship with his family was not good. So Katsuki didn't need to worry too much about his relationship with the Shouki family.
"Wow! That's harsh. But you look cute. You're very attractive, it's only natural that Shouki likes you. You match that masochist."
Katsuki ignored the man's words. The man seemed to be deliberately trying to annoy Katsuki. The way the man spoke showed that he wanted to annoy Katsuki.
'Tsk, I just got here and there are already annoying people that I shouldn't have met. I just want to feel calm. Is God deliberately driving me crazy slowly? Seriously.'
Katsuki glanced at the clock on his cell phone. Two o'clock in the afternoon, if he was scheduled what he saw the activity started in ten minutes. But instead of meeting strange people again, he prefers to gather with other selection participants in that place.
It will feel more comfortable to be alone in a crowd than to be alone but visited by people whose presence is not wanted.
"Already back?"
Katsuki sighed. "Yeah, if I'm here it means I'm back. Don't you have other words to start a conversation?"
Joan chuckled. "Why so sensitive like this? You met someone who was annoying huh?"
Whether it was a guess, or indeed Yoan already knew, but what Yoan said was true. Katsuki was very annoyed with the person he met earlier, even though he looked friendly, but the friendliness shown by the man actually gave Katsuki a strange impression.
"You don't need to know," Katsuki replied. His face twisted in annoyance, he walked away from there and headed for a quieter part of the room.
From time to time Katsuki was invited to talk by other audition participants, among the many people who were there, there were still people who were really fun.
"Haruhi Katsuki is welcome into the room."
Katsuki moved from his place, this was what he had been waiting for. He couldn't wait to follow the next stage of the audition. From a distance, Yoan only glanced sharply at Katsuki. Those cynical glances continued to watch Katsuki until Katsuki actually entered the room.
After Katsuki's name was called, he finally followed a series of selection forms to assess whether Katsuki was really competent.
"Good afternoon, Haruhi Katsuki. Congratulations on successfully passing the previous stage. Now we will judge you. On this occasion, you must show your talent as a model. In the previous stage we heard that the examiners had asked you to demonstrate some poses. But This time it will be even more different. Are you ready?"
There is no no to that answer. A very rhetorical answer, but it is a formality in a job.
"I'm very ready." Katsuki answered confidently. That faint smile with a serious expression showed that Katsuki was at his best.
"Fine, you go straight to that place." One of the examiners pointed towards the shooting spot where there was already a photographer, and several other crew members.
"This time you will demonstrate a pose without legs, specify how, and a pose to show what product you are going to demonstrate."
This is a quite unique challenge. That means Katsuki must understand the situation.
Katsuki nodded and headed straight for the photo shoot. Inside a dark blue box was a definite item, the box was on a table and Katsuki had to pose for a photo shoot of the item.
"Just bring it when shooting, the box cannot be opened and the contents cannot be known." The photographer had already prepared his camera. "Put your best pose."
Katsuki felt very challenged, he felt very happy. From the photographer's words, it seemed as if there was a spirit being channeled. The person is quite friendly, Katsuki doesn't feel burdened at all by this situation.
Katsuki then took the dark blue box. Katsuki imagined that in the box there was a perfume.
These were Katsuki's thoughts only, as it was still unclear what the contents of the box were.
The box is quite long, not too big and not too small. It could be a box for a necklace, but it's also possible that it's a box for other things. But this time Katsuki thought that inside the box was a perfume.
Not changing clothes, sticking with the clothes Katsuki was wearing earlier. This is sure to make the participants confused, what concept is being wanted by the judges. This shows that they are not in the mood to display items such as jewelry.
But it also can not be used as a reference. Katsuki only followed his heart's desire.
Katsuki then poses by lifting the box and pressing the box to his cheek. He smiled happily at that time as if he was feeling very comfortable. In the next photo, he immediately changes his facial expression with a seductive look. He purposely sat on a bench with an empty frame in front of him. It looks like a very beautiful living painting. Katsuki deliberately took a pose at such a place.
It's gorgeous and looks perfect.
