   “Welcome to my fantasy K-pop fashion love story!"

Chapter 19. Thursday.

The girls had retired early on Wednesday evening so they could get a good nights sleep, they had to be up at 4am to get ready to leave for the airport to catch their 7am flight.

Chloe wore her Zoir pants suit, a pink lurex singlet, grey pants and jacket, Jenny was in an all black BZT crop top and slacks, she wore a matching jacket that had BZT across the back, Sam wore the yellow BZT outfit that Chloe had bought her, they all looked very beautiful.

When they arrived at the airport, security from SDA were waiting, the girls picked up their bags, stepped out of the van, four men were on either side of them as they slowly walked into the terminal, there were many photographers and fans even at this early hour waiting to get a picture of the girls.

Chloe waved to the fans as she and Sam walked in hand in hand, girls were screaming out “Chloe, we love you.”

Chloe smiled and waved to the crowd, once they got to the priority desk a woman from Asian World Airlines introduced herself and the girls followed her into immigration, they went through security and out into the main terminal, they walked with security towards the Asian World Lounge.

As they walked through the terminal, many people recognised the girls, young girls called out Chloe’s name and she waved to them, a lot of people had their phones out filming the girls as they walked hand in hand to the lounge.

Once in the lounge, the woman said she would come back when it’s time to board, the lounge was quite crowded, many people were around the buffet, Chloe did not want to go over to it, one of the girls serving at the buffet came over to the girls and asked. “Miss Chloe, what would you and your friends like?”

“Two sparkling waters please, what do you want Jenny?”

“I would like some mango juice please.”

A few moments later the woman returned with their drinks, Sam noticed that a lot of people were taking pictures of them, she felt a little uncomfortable, fortunately no one came over to talk to them.

It wasn’t long until the woman from the airline came back to the girls and said. “Please ladies, come with me, we are ready to board.”

The girls walked out of the lounge and there were four security guards waiting for them to walk them to the gate, there was so many people waiting to board the plane, lots of them had their phones out taking pictures of the girls.

The ground staff had cleared a path for the girls to get to the door, they opened it and the girls walked through and were led down the jet bridge to the aircraft and into first class.

They were welcomed by the first class flight attendant. “Good morning ladies, please take the first seats, the double is to the right, the single is beside it.”

The girls walked to their seats and took off their jackets and gave them to the flight attendant, Jenny asked the attendant. “How many are flying first class today?”

“Ma'am, there are four others, their seats are all at the back and on the left side away from you.”

Jenny said. “Thank you.”

The flight attendant then went and hung the girls jackets up.

A mother and a young girl came into first class, the young girl yelled out. “Mommy that’s Chloe, can I go and talk to her?”

The young girl ran towards Chloe’s seat, Jenny stood up and blocked her way and said. “Miss Chloe is resting, please go back to your mother.”

The flight attendant quickly came to the girl and asked her to take her seat, the other two passengers were businessmen and they did not take any notice of the girls.

The flight to Tokyo was over quickly and once the plane had landed and come to a stop the flight attendant bought the girls their jackets and asked the girls to get ready to leave the plane.

The girls stood up and put on their jackets and walked towards the door, one of the business men stood up and quickly walked in front of the girls, the flight attendant asked him to please move, he was not happy, reluctantly he moved.

The flight attendant opened the door and led the girls through business class to the open door where the ground crew for the airline were waiting to take the girls through immigration and customs. There were no delays and they left the customs area to be met by security from Dink, a woman walked forward and said. “Miss Sam, my name is Mitzy and I am the creative director for Dink, welcome to Tokyo, also welcome Miss Chloe and Miss Jenny, there are many photographers waiting outside, we have security, so lets go to our van.”

Sam took hold of Chloe’s hand and they walked to the van as the photographers took many photos of the girls.

Mitzy said. “Ladies, it will take about half an hour to get to our studio, after the shooting you are all be going to a restaurant for lunch to meet the founders and owners of Dink and some executives of Dink, after that meeting we will take you back to the airport.”

Sam was holding Chloe’s hand and said to her in Korean. “I am a little nervous.”

Chloe replied. “You will be fine baby, I am here with you.”

Jenny said to Sam. “Your Korean is very good Miss, I will speak to you in Korean more now.”

Sam said. “Thank you, I enjoy speaking the language.”

After a slow drive through the traffic of Tokyo they arrived at the studio.

They walked in and met the photographers, there were three of them.

Mitzy led the girls into the dressing room, it was a large white room with floor to ceiling mirrors around the walls, she said. “Miss Sam, our girls will measure you and once we know your size you will be modelling nine outfits, three sports wear outfits, three day wear and three evening wear, the first is our latest tights and a sports bra, so first our makeup artist will come in to do your face, Miss Dee wants very little makeup as she wants your natural beauty to shine through.”

The makeup artist came into the room, she didn’t speak English or Korean, she just worked on Sam’s eyes and lips and then left, Sam said. “Does it look alright?”

Chloe said. “Yes Sammy, she didn’t do much, you still look very beautiful, now let us help you get dressed.”

After Sam was dressed Chloe and Jenny went out and sat with Mitzy, Chloe smiled at Sam as she posed for the photographers.

The last gown was a slinky white tube gown that had thousands of glittering stones sown onto it, as Sam walked the dress glittered, it fitted Sam’s body perfectly, she looked beautiful.

The photographers took many photos of Sam and then Mitzy asked Sam to to go over to the wall and walk back like she was on the catwalk, as they wanted a video of her walking.

Mitzy and Chloe walked into the dressing room and Mitzy said. “Miss Sam, could you please wear the pants suit to lunch, the salmon one with the sky blue chiffon blouse, with matching bra and shoes, you may wear it home also, it is yours now.”

Mitzy left the room and Sam said to Jenny. “Please unzip me.”

Jenny unzipped the gown and Sam stepped out of the white gown, Jenny hung it up and Sam put on the sky blue bra, then the pants suit and Chloe said. “Sammy you look so beautiful in that colour, I am not sure I will be able to control myself at lunch time.”

Sam smiled at her and went over, kissed her and said in Korean. “Did Mitzy have any comments?”

“She said you were a natural and wanted to know which modelling school you came out of, I just said I was not sure.”

Sam smiled and said. “It’s good that she was positive.”

“More than that, she said you were the first model they had who didn’t need directions, darling you are a natural.”

Sam smiled and picked up her bag and held Chloe’s hand, they walked out of the dressing room, Jenny was carrying the BZT outfit that Sam wore.

As they walked into the studio they saw three suitcases and Mitzy said. “Miss Sam, Miss Dee wants you and your friends to have some of our clothing to wear, especially our new black hoodies and track pants, I think you will all like them, also a range of our other products, we have put them all in these three Dink travel cases for you, your name is on your bag.”

Sam smiled and said. “Thank you.”

Jenny said. “Could you please pack this outfit in Miss Sam’s bag.”

One of the assistants took the cloths off Jenny and said. “Yes Ma'am.”

Mitzy said. “I have spoken to Miss Dee and she is looking forward to meeting you all, lets go out to the van so we can go to the restaurant.”

Sam said. “When will the photos be ready?”

“I have already sent them to Miss Dee, she will talk to you about them when you meet her.”

Chloe said to Sam in Korean. “It will be good Sammy, wait and see.”
