Part 2

Renga-kun, you’re doing great, you’re killing it. The sex appeal is on point. Amazing.

Ahaha, thank you very much.

Kurama-kun’s still a bit stiff as expected though~. It’d be good if you could relax a teensy bit more and look a bit more natural.

(As if that’s possible…!)

Okay~, Kurama-kun can take a break for now. We’re gonna do Renga-kun’s solo shots.

Okay.

(Thank god…)

…

Ahhh, now that’s a look. It’s always so worth to take pictures of you. Show me your side profile next, I wanna see that jawline.

Got it, and—

(Nishizono-san’s totally in his comfort zone. His poses, expressions, and the way he changes his gaze are all incredibly smooth…)

(He’s usually super clumsy at home, to the point that a lot of people tease him for it… But he changed his whole demeanor as soon as he stepped onto the scene…

…So this is what it means to be on another level.

(The heck… I guess he’s pretty cool…)

Alright, we’ll take 5 and then resume shooting.

Ushio, are you really okay? You look more nervous than before, if there’s anything I can do to help, lemme know.

No, I’m not okay, so give me some advice, please.

A-Advice…!?

I have to look more natural, right? I don’t really get how to do that, so what should I do?

Um… Well, looking natural might be hard for you… right now.

Depending on how stiff your expressions are, sometimes, you’re able to show a particular charm precisely because you’re a beginner, so I think you’re fine as you are… But you should put more weight into your stance so you won’t fall over.

And when you change poses, it’s easier if you bring back your gaze before shifting it again. And lastly—

I want you to put your trust in me during the shoot. Because I’m your partner, right here, right now.

…Got it. I’ll try my best.

Okaay, we’re starting now~!

Kurama-kun, that was amazing~! Your synergy with Renga-kun during that last two-shot was G-I-V-I-N-G, I loved it!

Th-Thank you…

(I immediately got better just from taking Nishizono-san's advice…)

Aww, it’s a shame you’re just a stand-in. You have so much potential, I lowkey wanna hire you again!

…! Th… Thank you.

(He’s really… praising me…)

Alright, here’s your pay for today. Thanks for coming. It’d be great if we got another chance to work together in the future! Lemme know whenever.

(I mean, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to come back…)

Good for you, Ushio! In my opinion, you were really able to bring out that amazing Ushio-like edginess near the end…!

I’d be happy to help whenever, so if you feel like calling me again, yeah. Like, I’d be down… O-Only ‘cause I want the money.

(Haha. He’s an unexpectedly good kid…)
