Chapter 2 - C H A P T E R • 02

When I entered the hotel, I saw a group of girls waiting at the front desk.

I smiled at them and went to Haechan, who was standing at the front desk.

Some girls were whispering.

"Oh my God, this charming man also works here."

"How is it possible for a person to be so attractive?"

"We must thank Seon Saeng-nim (the teacher) for deciding to take us to a location with so many attractive boys."

"It seems like we're going to have a great time."

As I got closer to Haechan, our eyes met.

"Oh Miss, allow me to introduce you to Mr. Na Jaemin, our hotel's photographer. He is in charge of the Na Photographer service that I previously informed you about."

"Hello Miss, I'm the photographer Na Jaemin, nice to meet you," I smiled as I greeted the lady in front of us.

"Oh welcome, I'm teacher Yoon Jin Kyung from Duksung Women's University, it's nice to meet you, this is great, we need a special photographer, are you providing coverage for small parties as well? The girls want to have a small birthday party for one of the students on the last day of our stay here because the girls want to have a birthday party for one of the students before we return to Seoul," the teacher said.

It has been a while since the last party I covered, but I'm not sure if I'll have the time.

Haechan confidently said, "Oh, that's great for sure, we will check our photographer Jaemin's schedule and get in touch with you. Our hotel offers a special service for parties, in addition to the photographer we also have professional singers and dancers, our staff has a lot of talents besides their good looks and professionalism with their work at the hotel, we promise that we will give the ladies an unforgettable party, but its cost is a bit high," as I was attempting to hide my surprise

He will undoubtedly be killed by the boys.

Teacher Yoon "I'll wait for you with a list of your suggested party activities because it doesn't matter how much it costs as long as the girls have fun,"

In response, Haechan said, "Yes, ma'am, we will make sure to send it to you."

"Here are your room keys, we have prepared them as early as you wanted," Haechan said, taking a few keys from the drawer next to him and handing them to the teacher.

Teacher Yoon "Thank you very much, and I'm sorry that we arrived so early. We only found time plane tickets in the morning, and you know we can't let the girls stay for a long time with their luggage outside until the check-in time at the hotel comes."

Haechan It's alright, miss. "We are honored by your visit to our hotel and your steadfast choice of our hotel despite the difficulty in getting here."

Teacher Yoon "Your hotel has a good reputation, and its tourist location is very suitable for recreation, so I thought it would be a good place to bring girls, this is not the first time we've brought our students here, and they liked it very much."

Haechan said, "We are pleased and honored to hear your praise. Our staff will assist in transporting your bags to your room."

Haechan rings the bell and both Jeno and Mark come.

Haechan "Lee Mark-ssi and Lee Jeno-ssi, please assist the ladies in moving their bags to Rooms 203, 204, 205, and 206 on the second floor."

Jeno hurried to get a cart, and Mark Hyung brought it over to us. After filling the first cart, Mark filled the second one Jeno had brought.

"We are honored to take you to your rooms," Mark said as he bowed like a prince.

Teacher Yoon "Thank you very much."

Jeno and Mark-hyung went to lead the girls to their rooms.

"Haechan-Shi, you have to get ready to be scolded by the boys. How could you accept her offer and suggest other services without consulting the boys?" I said with a stern face as I turned to face Haechan. "In addition, I doubt I'll have enough time to cover this party."

Haechan "Jaemin-ah, didn't we agree on these services earlier? It's a small party, you can set a limited time for your coverage, and you will get a bonus for it."

"Well, I'll see what I can do about it," I sighed in response.

"Oh, what is that pretty miss doing there? Jaemin-ah, go help her; she seems to be looking for something," Haechan said, nudging me in her direction.

I turned to refuse to see him answer the phone that had just started ringing "This is a hotel you've never seen before, Hello this is Hotel the Dream..."

I looked back at that lady with short blonde hair walking back and forth looking around, to get closer to her.

"Hello, Miss. "How can I help you?" She turned to face me after I spoke to her and expressed her surprise.

She tilted her head slightly to face me directly and held a long, intense look in her brown eyes.

I asked her once more because I was feeling a little awkward and perplexed."You seem to be looking for something... How can I help you"

"I went on a trip with my classmates, but I left my phone on the bus, so I went back to get it. When I came back, I couldn't find them, and I have no idea where they went."

Oh, she's with those girls, I see.

"Did you happen to attend Duksung Women's University?" I asked her to open her eyes wider.

"How did you know this," she questioned in awe.

"Teacher Yoon and your classmates arrived just now and went to their rooms."

"Oh... Really," she retorted, with a little disappointment.

"Would you like me to guide you to your room?"

"Yes, thank you," she timidly nodded.

With a smile, I responded. "No need to thank Miss; this is my job; kindly follow me,"

I started to move when she gave me a nod so she could follow me.

I came across Jeno and Mark-hyung as we were strolling.

Mark "Oh Jaemin-ah, where are you going?"

"This lady arrived with the students who arrived earlier."

Jeno said "Oh! then I'll guide her to her room."

"No, it's okay. I'll guide her. Go to Haechan. He needs your help," I answered, surprising them both.

Mark-hyung replied, "Well, then we'll go," and we continued walking.

What happened previously? I ought to have let Jeno lead the way. how come you insisted I lead her?

"We've arrived," I said as I paused to turn and face her.

When she accidentally bumped into me, she winced in shock. I apologize; I was preoccupied and missed your stop.

"It's okay, we've arrived at the rooms," I replied with a smile. "These Four rooms are the ones reserved for you."

"I'm grateful; thank you." She spoke with her head slightly bowed.

"You're welcome; I'm leaving now; if you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask, "I replied to her by lowering my head a little, and then I started to move away at a slightly quicker pace.

'Oh my god, why did I feel so tense?' I briefly stopped walking to place my hand on my heart.

I turned to look at her, but our eyes locked as she turned to face me.

We both bowed our heads slightly as a result of our embarrassment and anxiety.

I quickly turned around and left.

"Jaemin, did you guide the miss?" I looked in the direction of the sound and saw Haechan standing next to Jeno and Mark-hyung, leaning on the table in front of him.

I retorted, "Um (yes), I guided her," feeling a little uneasy.

"Who said I needed Jeno and Mark-hyung's assistance?" I was surprised by Haechan's question.

"I thought you might need them... I'm running late for work. I'm going to grab my camera and get to work." To get out of the situation, I frantically attempted to answer.

Jeno "But Jaemin-ah, you said the photo shoot would begin at ten in the morning, but it's still only seven o'clock in the morning."

Oh my God, he's right!

I hurriedly uttered, "I'll go to my office to finish editing the photos, I'll see you later," intending to leave the area before they persisted in questioning me.

The seven of us live in a house that is the Chenle family's vacation home and is situated behind the hotel. His parents live in Beijing most of the time, so the house stays empty, and the reason we stay here is to be close to the hotel.

I went into my office and sat down in my chair, staring blankly at the computer screen in front of me.

I returned to reality when I heard a knock on the door.

"Come on in," I replied, anticipating the visitor's identity.

It was Renjun who was revealed when the door opened.

"Jaemin-ah, here you go. I finished designing the photo albums you ordered, and I printed the pictures." Renjun spoke while placing the albums on my desk.

"Komawo Renjunie" I grabbed the albums and looked through them; they were really lovely.

"Wah yeokssi (as anticipated), Renjunie is the best in design; I made the right decision in picking you to be my assistant,"

Renjun replied with a smile. "Komawo Jaemin-ah, every time I give you one of the designs, you say the same thing."

"I have to say you put in a lot of extra effort to help me along with your work at the hotel, so I'm grateful."

"It's okay, you know that drawing and designing help me relieve stress and workload so I don't feel like it's overtime, and you will also give me my salary for my work, right?" Renjun said in a slightly cheerful voice.

"Absolutely."

Renjun laughed as he continued, "The clients came yesterday evening and selected the photos they wanted to edit. I put them in a file with the client's name and the date of the photo session on the desktop."

I looked through my computer to find the file Renjun was referring to when he said, "I found it, komawo Injun."

Renjun "You're welcome. How many reservations do you have today?"

"I have five reservations,"

"Wow, that's a lot, so good luck, my friend; I'm going to finish my work," responded Renjun.

"Thanks, good luck to you as well."

Renjun gestured with a soft wave that he was leaving the office.

It's time to start working now.

I positioned my phone next to me, turned on some music, pulled my hard drive from my pocket, connected it to the computer, and began working on photo editing.

My phone starts to ring after a while, and it's a new message.

He is the client from the ten o'clock appointment, and he requests confirmation of the time of shooting. I snuck a glance at the clock and noticed that it was nine-thirty. Oh, I didn't feel like all this time had passed. I must prepare for the shoot.

I took out my camera bag after sending him a message to confirm our meeting time and location.

I checked my belongings one last time to make sure I had everything I needed, then I walked out of my office carrying my bag to the location.

Time flew by quickly.

My lunch break has arrived.

Since I still had two photo sessions left for the day, I stopped at one of the nearby restaurants for a quick meal before the next one started.

I sat down in the chair and placed my food order before grabbing my camera to look through the pictures I had taken today.

When I heard some girls cheering, I raised my head to see those girls who had arrived this morning, including that blonde miss with short hair.

She is wearing a long white and blue shirt with long sleeves and a cat drawing on it, cropped jeans, a white bag with a long belt, and black sneakers.

She smiled shyly and bowed her head slightly as she greeted me from a distance. I felt embarrassed that she had caught me looking at her again, so I quickly turned my head away and focused on my camera.

When my food arrived, I placed my camera on the chair beside me and began eating.

I'm full, wah, nothing beats eating delicious food after a long day at work.

I went looking for the girls and eventually found them.

Eight girls and their teacher are sitting at the same table, talking and laughing together, except for that miss, who doesn't talk and just quietly eats her food.

For a while, I found her appearance amusing.

Hey! What is going on with me? Why do I keep acting strange? I wanted to look at and peek at her constantly as soon as I first saw her.

What is wrong with You Na Jaemin? Bring yourself together! What you're doing is terrible! You're not the one peering at a girl.

I shook my head and grabbed my camera and bag. I need to get out of here before I'm found out again. I quickly paid the bill and left the location.

The next client was waiting for me when I arrived at my intended location, which was right next to the restaurant.

They were a couple, and we took many lovely pictures of them because they were so adorable and perfect for one another.

When the photo shoot was over and the client had left to place my camera next to me, I sat down in one of the chairs to take a brief break.

I sighed, extending my hands to perform some body relaxation exercises while sitting. "I have one session left," I said.

You must be worn out from work, so take this. I don't know if you like it, but I hope it gives you some energy.

"Take this, you must be tired from work, I don't know if you like it or not but I hope it gives you some energy."
