You don't know why you agreed to this one job. Really, it felt like cursing yourself for not thinking a thousand times about how horrible it was. But, it feels like a straight-brained person can think that doing the runway in a building is something extreme. That's right, runway in the building, not in the building. Ah, this must be because of Choi Minho! When else can I work with him if not on this project. She is the figure most targeted by female models to be a working partner.
You just don't think long. Thats problem. You never even think about your fears at the heights you just learned today.
Doggone.
How else, rice has become ketupat, can not return to rice. Whatever happens, you have to do it because you have to take responsibility for your choices. So, here you stand. The top of the building will be opened tomorrow. Of course, before performing, you and some other models practice to know how to 'walk' vertically as well as the security system provided by the event organizer.
You also force yourself to be brave and ignore fear.
"Do it all calmly. Just imagine it's like walking on an ordinary runway" the coach said lightly. How can you say this 30-meter-tall building is an ordinary stage? Staring down alone had made cold sweat flow profusely, let alone walk while constantly staring down.
Another problem, you are the second star on the show after that Choi Minho. Did the time of the main female star who was juxtaposed by Mr Charisma Berapi appear disappointing? What do the world and netizens say? Where would you put your face if you gave in to your fear.
So when it was your turn to try with Minho, it was unexpected that he approached you.
"Everything will be safe. They are trusted," he said with a smile that did not fade.
"Y-yes, I definitely can," you said it more to yourself.
"Do you have a phobia of heights? I saw that your face looked a little pale, "this time your co-worker changed his expression to worry. Well, do you know where this guy came from about your mind? Just like a psychic.
"No, everything's good," your lie to cover up your real fear was obvious just for not wanting to let Choi Minho down.
"Alright, alright. The ultimate couple here. You only need to walk vertically on the building wall slowly and when you arrive at the normal runway, you will slowly return to the horizontal position and release the safety. Later there will be someone teaching you to it under the rest .. pose together at the end of the runway before returning. You guys are used to that one. All right, time to try it for the first time!" some security technicians attach a safety cord to your body. Well, this should all be safe. Minho who is opposite you looks calm like he is used to doing extreme fashion shows like this. But, the director's words are clear, you are both doing this for the first time.
"Walk slowly and calmly, both of you. Ready it?"
"Ready!" yell your mouths together.
Nah! Your brain is honest.
But you keep trying to stand vertically at the end of the building. Your eyes will inevitably face down. Several times you take a deep breath and exhale it and say a quiet spell.
"Quiet, calm down, just quick, really."
"Come, walk!"
You also walk one beat with Minho, one hand on the waist and the other swinging. For a moment you forget the fear when you focus on the rhythm of your walk. Unfortunately it does not last long, when you feel your body is getting pulled down by gravity and the object on the ground still looks far away, your body shakes again, and your body shakes, your heart is beating and cold sweat is sliding from your forehead.
"It's okay, soon to be below,” whispers to yourself while continuing to walk and install a fierce style, according to the theme. Arriving at the dirt runway, some of the officers on guard removed your safety rope and left quickly. With the remaining power, you walk to the front end of the runway to pose with Minho. Arriving at the end due to being too limp, you who almost fell accidentally embrace the neck of Minho and the man who apparently knew, directly held your back with his hands. It looks like a planned pose, but it is not.
You cursed yourself when, Minho said while helping you back up straight, "Are you really okay?"
Now your fear turns to shame. Ah, damn fear, you should look professional in front of Choi Minho, not a coward.
"Let's hurry to the backstage," without removing the embrace, he takes you to the backstage until you get a chair and a drink.
"I'm sorry, ah, I messed up," you said after drinking a few sips of mineral water given by the staff.
"Now it's important you calm down first. Tell me about it later, your face is completely pale," said Minho who is now sitting in front of you.
"Actually .. I just found out that I have a fear of heights today," you explained as you calmed down, "Thank you for helping me and sorry for the discomfort. If you want to change models, I'm really sincere." Lie again, actually you are not sincerely surrender this position to anyone. Self-awareness makes you say that. Choi Minho deserves a better job partner than you who are timid.
"No, I won't ask for a change of model. I'm salutary because you didn't run away so you know you actually have a fear of heights. I'm just wondering, are you going to back off after this or keep working after knowing what happened?" ask Minho who is looking at you this time worried.
"Of course I have to take responsibility and get this job done even though I don't know if it will be strong until the end or not. But, yes, I will try not to faint before reaching the backstage," you replied confidently.
"I'll work with you. It was really a professional choice, but after this job is over it seems like you have to consult on this," Minho smiled and you nodded.
"I'll do it. Thank you." Thank you."
"Enough rest" the man moved from before you.
Tomorrow comes quickly. The lights have been arranged in such a way around the new building. The makeup and clothes you wear are so beautiful, they really blend well with the clothes your partner Choi Minho wears. Late afternoon into the evening, the inauguration began. There are about 10 pairs of models before your turn forward. Before that you do anything that makes you calm starting from praying, drinking water, taking deep breaths and exhaling repeatedly, and encouraging yourself.
"You're strong. You can hold on, spirit," Minho approached me.
"I can."
No. gabe.
"I can."
No. gabe.
"I can withstand the fear for the sake of professionalism at least until the backstage."
What possible? Yesterday on a test run you almost fainted at the end of the runway.
"I can."
"If it's too heavy, give me a sign so you can quickly go back to the backstage and not do the pose for too long" said Minho, who gave you peace of mind, "don't panic while walking later."
"I need to calm down. I know." You take another deep breath and exhale it.
"Now it's your turn, First Star," the organizing team came to us.
"We can."
"We should be able to."
Like during the test yesterday, only different clothes and makeup, you are paired with a safety rope. Once again before performing, you make a prayer.
"Here comes the star tonight going down to Earth right off the rooftop," that's cue MC for you guys. As per the musical accompaniment, you and Minho start to walk vertically according to the rhythm of the music. It was good at first, but fear strikes again halfway through your journey.
Your heart beats faster than before, cold sweat comes out of your palms and you feel shaky again. But you don't want to give up on your fears. You keep walking in style until you can touch the ground.
After the safety rope is released, you exert all the remaining energy to perform perfectly on the normal runway.
Once you and Minho meet at the end of the runway, you do the same pose as during yesterday's test, only, this time planned. Everything goes perfectly until you part with Minho and return to the backstage. Fortunately, some of the staff are on standby there, so you can sit down and drink mineral water before the fireflies in your eyes cover your eyes.
"Geez, you never told me?" your manager asked immediately after you finished drinking.
"Say ... what?" tanyamu.
"If you're afraid of heights" he said, "I just found out because Choi Minho told me."
"I just found out yesterday and also I don't want me to be pulled from this job. I have to be professional and responsible, right?" your answer.
"Stay, if he doesn't say and you faint how?"
"Yes, just faint" you replied lightly to your manager's concerns.
"Truly stubborn, ck. Next time measure your abilities."
"Yes, manager. I know it's because of my carelessness."
"Ah, have you been better?" ask Minho who came to you. Wow, too attentive.
"Yes. Thanks for saying this to the staff. Ah, I'm so ashamed that people know," you lowered your gaze.
"What happened is not proof of weakness. It's proof of your strength, being able to face fear. I'm honored to work with you."
"Ah, no, no, I am honored to be working with you, Choi Minho," you smiled at him this time.
"Workers like you need to be remembered. Want to take a picture together?" the offer came out of Minho's mouth. You're dumbfounded because that's what you should say.
"Do I not look pale?" ask you while laughing, a little embarrassed.
"No, no. ...," he opened the front camera of the phone and took a selfie with you. You take pictures a few times and even he asked you for advice to choose a good photo and he can upload it on his social media.
"Thank you, I'll mark you," Minho blinked one eye.
"No, I should be the one to thank you," you laughed, "Ah, can you send that photo to my phone later? I'm not taking him."
Minho whispered something to you in response, "I left my phone number to your manager. Call me after this and don't be this formal." You winked in disbelief while Minho now walked away from you with a faded smile.
Wow, really something unexpected. Not just a photo together, you can now contact a Choi Minho, the Lord Charisma Berap
