Chapter 43: Bringing a women to the mom studio to shoot, Part 2

The first shoot was with the maid outfit concept.

Min Hayoon was utterly defeated by Choi Arin.

As a model to a model.

As an actor to an actor.

Of course, if an outsider had watched the filming process, they might have said this.

‘Min Hayoon is prettier, how can there be winning or losing?’

However.

The most important thing for a model is not their face.

The most important thing is the overall quality of the shot.

The unity of the model’s atmosphere and the director’s intention, and the outfit that perfectly fits the model’s body are important.

And in that respect, Min Hayoon had to lose to Choi Arin.

Although there was only a one-year age difference, Choi Arin was definitely taller and had a bigger chest.

When wearing the same clothes, the eyes are naturally drawn to the one with the better body.

Still, this was understandable.

Body shape is innate.

But now, Min Hayoon was also losing in facial expressions, which can be said to be the core of a model.

Choi arin, who has much more experience in cosplay, also had good facial expressions, so the gap was clearly revealed.

“Why don’t you work as a model…?”

Even Yoon Suhee was amazed by Choi Arin’s acting skills.

Arin was doing the best acting an amateur model could show.

“Yes? A model?”

“Yeah, your face is great, you wear clothes well, and your facial expressions are pretty good, so why don’t you model?”

“Uh…”

“If you’re interested, I can connect you. There are many photographers who would love a gem like you.”

Even Yoon Suhee, who had a negative impression of Choi Arin, was now showing her goodwill.

Now that she thought about it, Yoon Suhee seemed to want to make people she liked into models so that she could take care of them as a photographer.

Min Hayoon was her daughter, whom she loved dearly, so that was a given, and she must have seen potential in Choi Arin to say this.

However.

“I, I just… cosplay is just a hobby…”

“Really? That’s a shame.”

From Choi Arin’s point of view, cosplay was just a hobby, so she expressed her refusal clearly while stuttering.

Yoon Suhee didn’t force her either.

Min Hayoon was her daughter, so she was naturally greedy, but she had no reason to persuade a stranger like Choi Arin to the point of making her uncomfortable.

Anyway.

“This is the last scene for the maid outfit shoot, and Hayoon, try harder. If you keep going like this, you’ll be completely overshadowed by her in this cosplay book.”

Yoon Suhee seemed to be trying to draw out Min Hayoon’s potential.

She gently provoked Min Hayoon’s rebellious spirit.

And Min Hayoon had no intention of just being pushed around.

“Don’t worry. I have a plan.”

Choi Ahrin’s part of the shoot was over, but Min Hayoon still had one cut left.

It was a scene where she arranges red roses on a bar table as if making a bouquet.

This is the process of the heroines in the game preparing a bouquet event.

Both heroines are supposed to be thinking of the protagonist while arranging the roses.

Then, what should Min Hayoon imagine while arranging the roses?

Also, what kind of appearance would the people who receive the cosplay book want?

The answer is set.

A look of being in love.

It should strongly convey the feeling that she wants to give this to you.

Then, the expression needed to create such an emotion is…

‘Perhaps, a smile?’

Yes, a smile.

A subtle smile.

A smile that seems to be happy just by imagining her loved one.

A smile that makes the people who see the cosplay book think that they are the owner of the bouquet.

And she had already confirmed how to make such a smile through Choi Arin’s shoot earlier.

“C, can you show me the photos you took earlier?”

“The photos?”

“Yes, I’m not good at getting the emotions right… so I need to imitate them physically.”

Click, click.

Yoon Suhee pressed the buttons on the camera to show the photos of Choi Arin taken earlier, and Hayoon, holding a hand mirror, adjusted the position of the corners of her mouth and eyes with her other hand to get the angle.

Even if she couldn’t control her facial muscles flexibly, she could at least manage to hold a pose for a while by manually setting the expression…

“Is this okay…?”

“Wow… It’s been a long time since I’ve worked with an amateur, but this is a new experience. It’s fun.”

“What can I do? I’m an amateur.”

“Yeah, you’re right. Go and take your pose before your expression loosens.”

Min Hayoon immediately went to the table where the artificial roses were set up, and Yoon Suhee captured her daughter with the camera.

Certainly, Min Hayoon was still lacking.

Her face was perfect, but her body was a bit lacking compared to Choi Arin’s, and her facial expressions were not even worth mentioning.

Even now, the expression she had manually set kept loosening, so she had to keep pressing the shutter to get something.

‘It’s fascinating…’

Yes, Min Hayoon is lacking in many ways.

But there was also something unique about her.

Her facial expressions were clumsy, and she was a typical third-rate model hopeful who could only rely on her face, but…

Just one thing.

‘There are very few models who can create this kind of atmosphere.’

The atmosphere.

The aura was different.

And that was the aura of an empress that Min Hayoon obtained through a bet with the status window.

The unique aura that attracts the attention of the audience covered up Min Hayoon’s poor facial expressions.

It was a powerful aura that made people focus only on the concept that such a person was making a bouquet for them.

‘I should have raised my child as a model…’

Yoon Suhee was licking her lips, fulfilling her selfish desires in this way.

“Okay, let’s change the pose. Like you’re satisfied while smelling the flowers.”

If she couldn’t raise her daughter as a professional model, she intended to enjoy this moment, where she could interact with her as a cosplay model.

Right after the maid concept shoot ended.

“Ah, hello. Here it is. Enjoy.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Yoon Suhee brought a pizza.

It was a pizza with plenty of sweet potato mousse.

”
….”

Min Hayoon, who usually likes sweet potatoes, immediately rushed to the pizza and tore off the cumbersome packaging to reveal the brilliant sweet potato pizza.

It was a pizza that made her smile with plenty of pepperoni.

“You should have some too, mom.”

“I don’t like pizza. You two eat.”

However, Yoon Suhee refused to join and focused on examining the footage on the monitor, and Min Hayoon and Choi Arin cleared the artificial roses that had filled the table until a while ago and placed the pizza box on it.

Right after, the two high school girls started to eat the pizza diligently, making munching sounds.

It was a maid concept shoot that lasted for two and a half hours.

Although they just had to pose and take pictures, it was still tiring.

Since it was lunchtime and they were hungry, the two high school girls were busy eating pizza without saying much.

Around the time they had each eaten two slices of pizza, both Hayoon and Arin’s hands and mouths began to slow down.

Three slices of sweet potato pizza were too much for the delicate stomachs of high school girls.

“Unnie, did you do the mobile attendance check?”

“Did I?”

“Me too. I just asked to make sure. Are you going to eat more?”

“No, I’m full…”

“Me too…”

After exchanging opinions, the two high school girls covered the pizza box roughly and exchanged glances again.

“The next shoot is that, right?”

“That…”

Now that they had filled their stomachs, it was time to wash their hands thoroughly and prepare for the next shoot.

Of course, it’s not the typical bunny girl that everyone knows.

After all, this is a filming site where Hayoon’s real mother, Suhee, is present…

She said a high-leg bunny girl was absolutely not allowed.

They will proceed with a short one-piece type bunny girl outfit that lightly exposes the shoulders.

“Whew, thank goodness… Really…”

“Why?”

“I was worried that I would have to wear a high-leg…”

“Honestly, I was also a bit uncomfortable with a high-leg for my first cosplay book, so it’s a relief…”

No matter how open Hayoon and Arin were to cosplay, as high school girls, a high-leg bunny girl was inevitably a burden.

“At least it’s a relief that there’s no bunny girl in the demo. Phew… If we had released a high-leg bunny girl illustration, we would have been screwed.”

“Right… Imagine if we released a high-leg bunny girl illustration without thinking about the cosplay book…”

“They would have been furious, asking why we didn’t stick to the original design. Phew, that was close.”

The two high school girls breathed a sigh of relief, saying it was a close call.

“If you’re done eating, hurry up and change. We have to start.”

“Yes, we’ll be right back.”

“Yes!”

At Yoon Suhee’s subtle urging, they hurried to the bathroom, washed their hands, changed into bunny girl outfits, and started filming the bunny girl concept.

After that, Hayoon’s acting skills improved steadily.

This was because she focused on absorbing Arin’s performance and learned the theory based on the advice of Yoon Suhee, an industry veteran.

With two hours of intensive filming and coaching from experienced people, it was impossible for her skills not to improve.

Thanks to this, by the time they filmed the last shot of the day, the Santa girl concept, she showed quite natural facial expressions.

And Arin, stimulated by Hayoon, also showed more stable and solid acting, so Suhee was able to capture good pictures every time she pressed the shutter.

Now, if Studio Yoon’s correction techniques are added to this, the result of the cosplay book could not be bad.

“Phew. It’s over. Goodbye!”

“That’s what I should be saying. This is my first time doing this kind of studio shoot, and it was really fun thanks to you.”

Hayoon and Arin turned their backs and parted ways, looking forward to the next shoot.

As they gradually moved away from each other…

Stutter.

Min Hayoon’s steps stopped.

-Quick Clear!

-You have completed the mission with more than a month left before your first day of high school.

-In recognition of this, we offer you two choices.

It was the status window.

“It’s giving me a choice…?”

And the status window.

-1) Spin the roulette once as a reward for completing the mission.

-2) Proceed with an additional mission with another roulette reward at stake. In this case, the failure penalty is fixed as [Increased body hair].

It offered Min Hayoon a choice.

As if saying that she would obviously choose number 2.

It spoke with a confident nuance.
