Another chapter, please consider to be my and read up to 4 chapters ahead.

“Yeees! It looks good! Yes yes! Ah, I want him to have more sexy feelings here! look sideways, please look sideways!”

It’s not good, I don’t understand at all. I was supposed to come to this shopping mall to buy clothes and daily necessities, but before I know… I’m in an awkward situation which is having to be a model. Moreover, I’m not doing the photoshoot alone, but also with a very beautiful woman.

“Yuuya-kun! Your expression is too stiff! Smile, smile!”

It’s not good even if you said that!

I know that my expression is getting stiffer, I was thinking about what should I do, and there’s a woman model that will do the photoshoot with me this time ─ Miwa-san smiled looking at me.

“Yuuya-san. Everyone is also nervous like that for their first time, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

I took a deep breath once and looked at my appearance again.

Right now I’ve changed from my simple white shirt and black pants to a white drape shirt and put on a thin black short-sleeved cardigan on top of that, and wine-red skinny pants. All of these are clothes that I’ve never worn before, and I was more nervous about this dress itself rather than the photoshoot.

I suddenly noticed that there were many people around me. I guess they’re the customer who came to this shopping mall, but now they’re looking at this photoshoot scene of me and Miwa-san from the distance. Some people have their smartphones pointed here, so they seem to be taking photos, too.

“Amazing. It’s my first time to see Miwa-chan in person.”

“Yes that’s Miwa-chan, but who’s the boy doing the photoshoot together with her!? Doesn’t he have a super good style!?

“Isn’t he a model? He’s with Miwa-chan, and above all, he’s so handsome and stylish…”

“No way!? Then, let’s find out about him when the magazine is released!”

Yup, As I thought, I’ll stand out if doing a photoshoot in a big shopping mall .

“Well, please link your arms for a moment.”

The photographer said that when I was distracted by the surrounding gaze. But, what’s that link… arms? Err, do I need to stand tall while folding my arms?

As I was in a hurry by the sudden order, Miwa-san gently entwined her left arm with my right arm.

“Yuuya-san? What’s wrong?”

No, no, it wasn’t just nothing, was it!? Is this what he meant by linking arms? I surely thought that I just need to fold my arms at that moment. I never had a chance to get close to a woman, so I became much tenser than before.

N-no, I’m doing photoshoot now. I have to regain my mind as usual somehow…

This photoshoot seems to be for couples, so of course, it’s impossible for me to do that kind of movement. I can’t afford to be so panicked at this moment! To begin with, I can’t even imagine a movement like that! Nevertheless, I’ve calmer than before. Considering this far, it’s good she’s not notice it yet. No… shit, she noticed.

“Oh my. Yuuya-kun, your expression much more stiffer than before.”

“I-i-i-is that so?! I-i-i-it’s just normal, you know!?

“Yeah. I mean, you’re a little unusual.”

Hikari-san smiled bitterly…

It can’t be helped, you know! Because… Miwa-san’s… ch… chest…!

“Ah, i-it’s nothing! Yes!”

I said that unintentionally, but… Miwa-san’s chest is on my arm! It’s on my aaaarrrm!

Is Miwa-san not aware of it?! I thought so and glancing at her, but she’s just made an expression like a professional who’s doing a photoshoot now. This is not a matter of noticing or not. Looking at Miwa-san’s serious yet natural expression, I became much more calmer. Let’s just put it aside. I have to concentrate on this photoshoot now.

After diverting my mind, Hikari-san also gave instructions for various other poses.

“Yes, then Miwa-chan, please hug on to Yuuya’s neck.”

Despite my being surprised again, Miwa-san posed her arms around my neck without hesitation. It’s not good. Unlike the previous arm, I could feel a lot of things all over my body now! Although I have diverted my mind, eventually my expression and body become much stiffer than a little while ago. Then I tried to calm down while doing other poses, but I was still stiff, after all, so I had to take a break. The source of this content ɪs 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽

“Thank you very much for your work.”

“Ah, you too, thank you very much.”

“Can I sit next to you?”

“Ah, yes! It’s okay!”

Miwa-san talked to me as she sat on a bench in this shopping mall and took a breather. When Miwa-san sat next to me, I uttered what I thought honestly.

“Miwa-san, that’s amazing.”

Miwa-san was surprised to hear my sudden compliment.

“I’ve never worn this kind of clothes before… and on the contrary, I lived a life that had never thought about fashion. So, when I looked at models in the magazine, I never thought anything in particular. I just experienced it in a short period of time today and I came to understand how hard it was.”

“It’s because… you’re just not used to it yet! At first, I was just a failure, and often getting scolded.”

“Even so, I think it’s difficult for me. I didn’t think it would require an expression too, not just a pose alone.”

“Ahahahaha… Hikari-san is famous because of his particular focus on facial expressions in the modeling industry.”

Hikari-san was the muscular man wearing that flashy shirt, and he was also a photographer. He doesn’t look like that at all.

“Sigh… But I don’t know how to do that.”

As when doing the photoshoot, I was reminded of my useless when I saw Miwa-san, who is not that old, was able to play an active role so far. I think it’s also changing my mental little by little, but it’s still a long way to go. Apparently, she seemed to see my uneasy expression, and she kindly told me;

“Yuuya-san. I think you don’t need to rush it. Just take it slowly… at its own pace. Be more confident! And I also thought that I was having fun today because I was able to do a photoshoot with Yuuya-san … so I’d be happy if you would think so, too.”

“Of course, it’s not just about the photoshoot, it’s about enjoying everything, don’t you think so?”

Until recently, I couldn’t afford to have fun. I was so desperate to live, and it was painful and was unbearable every day. But now it’s different. After I found the door that connects to the other world, I…

When I turned to Miwa-san, she gave me a gentle smile, I noticed that it was a natural smile.

“Shutterrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

I heard a strange voice from the distance, but I have no idea what that is.
