Chapter 100 100: Fitting
"Let's try something more striking," Yewon suggested. "For the campaign, we want a bolder look." She gestured toward a deep navy double-breasted suit with sharp lapels.
"That looks expensive." Minjae raised an eyebrow.
"It is. But trust me, it'll look even better on you." Yewon chuckled.
With a sigh, Minjae took the suit and went to change.
The moment Minjae stepped out in the navy suit, the room went silent for a moment.
"Woah!"
"It fits him!"
"He looks so good!"
Even Donghyun can't help but approve of it.
Han Yewon's lips curled into a satisfied smile.
"Now, that's what I call camera presence."
Minjae turned back to the mirror, adjusting the cuffs of his blazer. He had to admit it. The tailoring was flawless, hugging his frame in all the right places.
It wasn't just a good suit. It was the kind of outfit that would make you want to look at it and wonder where did he got it.
"Yeah…" Donghyun nodded approvingly. "You look like a real Lux&Co. model now."
One of the Lux&Co. staff members excitedly took a few test photos on their phone.
Yewon walked up beside Minjae, observing him closely. "This will be one of your key looks for the campaign photoshoot."
Minjae tilted his head slightly. "So, this is the main outfit?"
"Not just this one," Yewon corrected. "But something along these lines—sharp, sleek, and powerful. It's not the traditional all outfits you'll see,"
She flipped through a lookbook showcasing Lux&Co.'s previous campaigns.
The photos featured models in elegant yet modern ensembles, the aesthetic blending sophistication with a sense of confidence and approachability.
Minjae studied the pictures and nodded.
"I see… So they want me to exude that same energy."
"Exactly." Yewon smiled.
She turned to her team. "Let's go through a few more looks to finalize the selections."
Minjae sighed playfully.
"How many more outfits are we talking about?"
"About…" Yewon grinned as she mentally counted it. "15 more
"…"
Minjae groaned.
Donghyun laughed, patting his shoulder.
"Better get used to it, kid. This is just the beginning."
And so, the fitting session continued once again.
Minjae spent the next few hours trying on various outfits, ranging from casual yet sophisticated monochrome streetwear inspired by fall. Lux&Co also provided him high-end tailored suits fit for an event.
By the time they finished, it was well past noon.
Yewon checked the final notes on her tablet and nodded in satisfaction.
"That should be everything for today."
Minjae, who had just changed back into his regular clothes, collapsed onto the couch with a dramatic sigh.
"Finally."
Donghyun chuckled. "Come on, it wasn't that bad."
Minjae gave him a tired glare. "I have changed outfits more times today than I have in the last week."
Yewon and the other staff laughed.
"Well, at least we're done," she said. "We'll send these selections to CEO Yoona for final approval, and once that's cleared, we'll proceed to the official photoshoot in a week."
"So, I don't have to do anything else for now?" Minjae sat up.
"Just keep up with your drama schedule," Yewon replied. "We'll handle the rest."
Donghyun stood up, stretching. "Sounds good." He turned to Minjae. "Alright, since we're done here, you're free already. You can go back to shooting. I've already informed the production team about it, so don't worry.
"Yes, Hyung." Minjae gave him a quick thumbs up.
"I'll come back here before your schedule ends."
"Alright." Minjae just nodded before forcing himself to stand up. He still has a few scenes today, though today's shooting will focus on Yura.
Minjae barely had time to rest after the fitting session before he was back on set for The Star's Secret.
As he walked towards the filming location, he spotted Jihoon and Yura sitting under a tent, chatting while waiting for the crew to finish setting up.
The moment Jihoon saw him approaching, his eyes lit up with curiosity.
"Hyung!" Jihoon called out, standing up. "What was all that earlier? I saw a whole army of stylists going into your tent with racks full of clothes earlier."
Yura turned her head as well, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, I was about to ask the same thing. What's going on?" She was also curious about it.
Minjae sighed, rolling his shoulders.
"It was from Lux&Co. They came to do a fitting session for the campaign."
"Wait—the Lux&Co.?" Jihoon's eyes widened.
"That's huge, Oppa! You're going to be their model?" Yura let out a small gasp, looking impressed.
"Yeah. It's just for their Fall Collection campaign, though. Nothing long-term." Minjae nodded, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Damn, Hyung. You're moving up in the world fast." Jihoon whistled, impressed by it.
"It's just a campaign." Minjae chuckled. "You're speaking as if I'm their face or something."
"But it's Lux&Co." Jihoon emphasized dramatically. "A medium-end luxury brand that doesn't just pick random people for their shoots. This is major, Hyun! A BIG THING!"
"He's right. This could really boost your career." Yura nodded in agreement. "
"Yeah, I know. That's why I agreed to it." Minjae exhaled.
Jihoon crossed his arms, eyeing Minjae suspiciously.
"Wait a second… How many outfits did they make you try on?"
"Why does that matter?" Minjae narrowed his eyes at him.
"Because I bet it was at least ten." Jihoon smirked.
"17," Minjae shared though the tone of his voice was flat. He got tired because of it.
Yura burst into laughter while Jihoon gasped loudly, clutching his chest dramatically. "17! Oh my god, Hyung, are you okay? Do you need me to call someone?"
"Shut up," Minjae muttered, shaking his head.
Jihoon laughed.
"I'm just saying—that's brutal. I would have passed out after outfit number five."
"Still, congratulations, Oppa. This is a big step." Yura smiled at Minjae.
Minjae nodded, offering a small smile in return.
"Thanks."
Before Jihoon could tease him again, the assistant director's voice rang out.
"Yura-ssi, Minjae-ssi! Get ready for the next scene!"
Minjae sighed, rolling his shoulders. "Guess that's our cue."
Jihoon patted him on the back. "Good luck, fashion model Hyung."
