Falling | JAEMIN

Chapter 1

"That's it for today, good final rehearsal everyone." The dance crew head choreographer said, clapping his hands.

Yerin joined her crew mates in giving their choreographer a round of applause. This was his last day in Neo City before returning to Korea, most of the crew following him.

Yerin was one of the youngest members, second to Jisung. The two of them were the only two not going back, both their parents refusing to let them travel overseas.

"Park, Han, are you joining us for drinks at the bar after?" One of them asked as their choreographer began packing.

"Hyung, I'm too young." Jisung said with a pout.

"Oh right. How about you, Yerin?" The male asked. Yerin shook her head.

"I have to drive this loser home and I start school tomorrow so I don't exactly want to be hungover." Yerin answered, pulling out her car keys. "Thanks though."

The two of them gave their choreographer and crew mates hugs and good-byes, which took quite a while, especially with Jisung's tears in the mix, before finally leaving.

"Wow, that was a lot." Yerin said, letting out a deep breath as she got into her car. She couldn't help but smile as she saw tears still falling down Jisung's face.

"You good there buddy?" Yerin asked, passing him her tissue box. Yerin winced as the boy forcefully blew his nose.

"Think happy thoughts." Yerin said, patting his back. Jisung nodded, inhaling deeply before blowing his nose again.

"Yeah. Like how you're finally joining me at Dream." Jisung said, forcing a smile.

"Yeah, exactly. You've been trying to get me there for years and well, I finally finished high school so my parents aren't against it anymore." Yerin said, starting the car.

"Yeah, high school." Jisung mumbled, looking out her window

"Yah, Park Jisung, have you been slacking on your online schooling again?" Yerin scolded. The boy pouted.

"Noona, it's just so hard to focus." Jisung whined. Yerin shook her head.

"Jisung, no matter how good of an artist you are, no one's going to take you if you don't have a high school diploma." Yerin pointed out.

"That's debatable." Jisung mumbled, resting his chin in his hands.

...

"Can you lower your head a bit and maybe do something with your hand to accent the outfit?" Jaemin asked from behind the camera.

"Like this?" The model asked, shifting the way she was sitting in the chair. She brought her hand to her shoulder, showing off the fancy sleeves.

"Yes, much better." Jaemin said, snapping a few photos. He continued giving commentary as he took her photos.

"Okay, I think that's it for today." Jaemin said and the workers on set gave him an applause, making a small smile appear on his face. He moved over to the magazine representative to show him some of his pictures.

"What do you think?" Jaemin asked, showing him some of the shots.

The representative nodded in approval. "I see why everyone talks so highly of you now, these are amazing."

Jaemin chuckled as he scratched the back of his neck. "Ah, it's really nothing. Just a passion of mine."

"Well it's definitely a talent worth recognizing." The director said, patting him on the back. "We'll transfer your pay once I show the director."
