LEAVE. SHUSHU GETS UNCOMFORTABLE AROUND PEOPLE HE DOESN’T KNOW. LIU! OH, I’M SORRY. DID I MAKE THINGS AWKWARD? I JUST ASKED WHO HE WAS. WHY DID YOU REACT LIKE THAT? I’M NOT AS SHY AS I USED TO BE. YOU’RE GOING TO MAKE HIM THINK I’M WEIRD. EVERYBODY KNOWS HOW SHY YOU ARE AROUND STRANGERS, SO DON’T WORRY. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF FIRST. SILENCE YOU’LL END UP GOING TO THE EVENT WITHOUT EVEN HAVING HAD A PIECE OF CHOCOLATE. SORRY, MR. SHUSHU. THINGS HAVE BEEN SO HECTIC, SO I DIDN’T GET A CHANCE TO INTRODUCE YOU TWO. THIS IS THE NEWEST MEMBER OF OUR TEAM. HELLO, I’M SEO YEEHYEON. NICE TO MEET YOU. I’M SHUSHU, A PHOTOGRAPHER. YOU’LL HAVE TO EXCUSE KUN’S ATTITUDE. HE NEVER USED TO BE THIS BAD BACK IN THE DAY... HE’S GOTTEN A LITTLE PRICKLIER SINCE HE STARTED RUNNING A BUSINESS. "BACK IN THE DAY...?" NO, IT'S FINE... IS THERE EVEN SUCH A THING? I'VE CERTAINLY NEVER MET ONE. DID HE SAY THAT... BECAUSE HE REGRETS NOT BEING ENOUGH FOR THIS PERSON? MR. LIU! COULD YOU HELP WRAP THINGS UP BY THE PHOTO WALL? OH, SURE. SHUSHU, COULD YOU COME WITH ME TO MR. LIU'S OFFICE FOR A MOMENT? I'D LIKE YOU TO TAKE A QUICK LOOK AT THE MANUSCRIPT. WE MIGHT KNOW WHAT YOU'RE LIKE, BUT WE'RE NOT EVERYONE... YOU SHOULD BE MORE CAREFUL WITH YOUR WORDS. WHAT? LET'S JUST GET OUT OF HERE. I COULD HARDLY BREATHE. DON'T TAKE WHAT MR. LIU SAID TO HEART. HE'S JUST OVERLY PROTECTIVE OF MR. SHUSHU. HE GREW UP WELL-OFF AND SHELTERED, SO HE'S PRETTY NAIVE... ...AND BECAUSE OF HIS LOOKS, HE ATTRACTS ALL SORTS OF SKETCHY PEOPLE. WHEN YOU SEE IT FOR YOURSELF, YOU'LL UNDERSTAND WHY MR. LIU WORRIES. HE LOOKS LIKE AN ACTOR. RIGHT? THE FIRST TIME I SAW HIM IN PERSON, I ALMOST FELL TO MY KNEES. HE WASN'T JUST BEAUTIFUL, HE WAS UNREAL. THEY SAY THERE'S NO GENETIC DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BETAS AND OMEGAS ASIDE FROM REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION... ...BUT THERE'S JUST SOMETHING ABOUT THEM THAT DRAWS PEOPLE IN. THEY'RE... NOT LIKE BETAS. WHY DOES THAT THOUGHT MAKE ME FEEL SO MISERABLE? YUNI NOONA AND JUHAN HYUNG'S SHOP, "OLD FUTURE..." THEY POST PHOTOS AND ESSAYS, SO IT FEEL LESS LIKE A SHOP AND MORE LIKE AN EXHIBIT. THEY LOOK SO FREE IN THE PHOTOS. I CAN'T HELP BUT WANT TO BE LIKE THEM. I THOUGHT THE PART OF ME THAT FELT DESIRE, THE PART THAT WAS SO EASILY MOVED, WAS GONE FOR GOOD... SO THIS FEELING CATCHES ME OFF GUARD... ...BUT I CAN'T HELP BECOMING MORE AND MORE CURIOUS ABOUT THE DAZZLING PEOPLE IN FRONT OF ME. "KUN..." HIS NAME IS LIU WEIKUN, SO THAT MUST BE HIM. OH! WHERE'D YOU GET THAT LAPTOP? OH, MS. HAN LENT IT TO ME. I WANT TO BE HELPFUL, SO I'M THINKING OF LEARNING SOME DESIGN SOFTWARE. RIGHT NOW, ALL I DO IS BUSY WORK... I'M STILL NOT VERY GOOD, BUT THEY BASED THE AD FOR ONE OF THE EXHIBITS ON ONE OF MY MOCK-UPS. GRAPHIC DESIGN ILLUSTRAT Illustrator Guideb Practical vectors for web & print work REALLY? THAT'S PRETTY IMPRESSIVE FOR YOUR FIRST TRY! COME TO THINK OF IT, WHY DID HE EVEN HIRE ME...? MS. HAN TOLD HIM THAT I CAN'T SIGN A PROPER CONTRACT BECAUSE I'M TECHNICALLY IN HIDING... HEY, NOONA. THEY SAID I MIGHT GET SENT TO HONG KONG ON A BUSINESS TRIP AFTER THIS EXHIBITION... DO YOU THINK IT'S OKAY IF I GO? WHAT IF IT GIVES THEM A LEAD ON US? IT’S FINE. IF MY DAD REALLY WANTED TO FIND ME, HE WOULD HAVE BY NOW. IF HE WANTS TO TAKE HIS ANGER OUT ON SOMEONE, IT’S GOING TO BE ME AND YEEHAN, NOT YOU. JUST LIVE YOUR LIFE. THANK YOU... AW, YOU’RE EVEN GOING ON BUSINESS TRIPS NOW, HUH? THINKING ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU’VE GROWN UP MAKES ME PROUD, BUT IT’S ALSO KIND OF BITTERSWEET. YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ME ANYMORE. UGH! WHAT’S WITH THAT CONFIDENCE? YOU THINK YOU’RE READY TO TAKE ON THE WORLD? HM? NO, NO, IT'S NOT LIKE I'VE GOT IT ALL FIGURED OUT- COUGH IT'S JUST THAT NOW...I KNOW THINGS WILL WORK OUT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. THAT'S HOW EVERYONE GETS BY, ISN'T IT? ...YEAH. YOU CAN'T JUST STAND AROUND WAITING FOR THINGS TO BE PERFECT. EXCUSE ME! COMING! EVERY TIME I REALIZE THAT THIS PEACE MIGHT BE TEMPORARY, I GET SCARED. BUT SINCE COMING HERE, I FEEL LIKE I'M MOVING FORWARD. I'VE MADE IT THIS FAR THANKS TO MY BROTHER AND MORAE NOONA, BUT IT'S TIME FOR ME TO STAND ON MY OWN. FOR THEIR SAKE, AND MY OWN... GIVE ME A DREAMY LOOK! GOOD! NOW THINK OF SOMETHING YOU MISS! DON'T LOOK AT THE CAMERA. COME ON, WHY ARE YOU SO EMBARRASSED? I DIDN'T THINK YOU'D ACTUALLY MAKE ME MODEL... HEY, THAT'S A GREAT POSE! AND I DIDN'T KNOW WE'D BE SHOOTING AT MR. LIU'S HOUSE! I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS MODEL AROUND BEFORE. ARE YOU STILL SHOOTING? OH, SORRY! WE WERE TRYING TO FINISH IN THE YARD BEFORE WE BOTHERED YOU. WE’LL BE DONE AFTER THIS OUTFIT! HAND ME THE CAMERA. LET ME TRY TAKING A FEW SHOTS. OOH, SHOW US WHAT YOU’VE GOT! DON’T WORRY, HE’S SURPRISINGLY GOOD WITH A CAMERA. THAT'S NOT REALLY THE ISSUE... COULD YOU SIT ON THE GROUND WITH YOUR LEGS OUT STRAIGHT? YUNI, CAN YOU SET THAT UP OVER THERE? SURE! YEEHYEON... PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOU AND LEAN BACK A LITTLE. LIFT YOUR CHIN AND LOOK DOWN. THIS IS EASIER THAN WHEN JUHAN WAS DIRECTING ME... KEEP YOUR CHIN THERE AND SLOWLY LOOK UP. AS SLOWLY AS YOU CAN. W-WHOA... HE'S SO CLOSE... OH, DON'T TURN YOUR HEAD. SO, HOW'S WORK? HUH? OH... I'M GETTING USED TO THINGS. WHY IS HE ASKING ME THAT NOW...? YOU DID A GREAT JOB LAST TIME. AND... ...I'M SORRY. OH... HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING SPECIAL... ...BUT FOR SOME REASON, I CAN FEEL MY FACE TURNING RED... IS THERE SOMEONE YOU LIKE? OR MAYBE... ...SOMEONE YOU USED TO LIKE? TRY IMAGINING THAT PERSON TELLING YOU THEY HAVE FEELINGS FOR YOU. SOMETHING LIKE THAT... ...WOULD NEVER HAPPEN. Xanon I THINK WE JUST GOT A PERFECT SHOT. ## See also - [WebtoonLib — Diamond Dust #9](/series/diamond-dust-z9v1s8db/chapter-9-pmu3qt) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/diamond-dust-z9v1s8db ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
