The rest of the morning moved fast.
Manager Park's promotional briefing at nine. Magazine shoot at eleven. Radio at two. Social content at four-thirty.
Soorin moved through all of it at her station, kit open, hands busy, brain running two tracks simultaneously. The professional one and the other one.
Daehyun arrived between the briefing and the shoot with two coffees. He set one down next to her on his way to his own station across the room, not breaking stride, not making a thing of it.
"Thank you," she said.
"You looked like you needed it," he said, already pulling out his heat tools and arranging them in the specific order he always used.
"I am fine."
"You have been reading the VEIL threads since six AM."
She looked at him.
"How do you know that?"
"Because I have also been reading the VEIL threads since six AM," he said, running his fingers through a styling brush to check the bristles like this was a completely unremarkable sentence.
She drank the coffee.
They worked.
