The shoot wrapped around four.
Everyone exhausted.
Ready to go home.
The members changed back into regular clothes.
Soorin packed up her kit.
Methodical. Automatic.
Not thinking.
Can't think.
If she thought about what just happened—
"Soorin."
Manager Park.
"Yes?"
"Good work today. The photographer was very impressed."
"Thank you."
"He wants to use you for more shoots. If you're available."
"I... okay?"
"Great. I'll let him know."
He walked away.
Leaving her standing there.
Processing.
More shoots.
More close proximity to Haejin.
More torture.
Perfect.
★☆★☆★☆
Everyone started leaving.
Slowly.
In groups.
Jisoo bounced out with Doyun.
Taekyung disappeared to his studio.
Minjae left with Manager Park.
The staff packed up equipment.
Gradually the building emptied.
Soorin stayed late.
Reorganizing supplies in the makeup room.
Restocking products.
Finding busy work.
Not ready to leave yet.
Not ready to face the silence of her apartment.
