"What image have you given me?"
"…"
Agent Yan Didn't expect the actress to ask this question. After all, She seemed to have never cared about such things before. Thankfully, Viviana was not expecting any answer from him.
"Whatever…"
Saying that, Viviana walked out of the apartment. She saw Lyra who was waiting for her in the van and immediately knew why she was made to do all those changes even though they were getting late.
It couldn't be said that Lyra wasn't dressed up. She had an elegant and cute dress with a white coat draped over her shoulder. With a light make up she looked very pretty.
But knowing Lyra, she must have not wanted to be seen as a girl who required a lot of dressing up.
And since she didn't want to look dressed up, she threw in a ready-for-photoshoot-styled Viviana in front of her to draw in all the negative attention.
After all, in front of a thorny red rose, a white lily always looks more elegant.

After the little interaction between Lyra, Viviana and Tang Tang, there was a moment of silence in the lounge. It was until the Director Jone and the Show planner came and explained to everyone what was expected of them and the procedures that the silence was dismissed.
The Happy Trip Together was not a show which was script free. But it was one which just directed the guest to something but was not entirely scripted.
The recording which was happening in the studio began with the six original guests waiting in the lounge set up in the studio and the host inviting the rest of the guests one by one.
"Hi! Everyone. I'm Tang Tang. From U N Mi. And once again I'll be your host throughout the trip."
Tang Tang being the host had an enthusiastic conversation with the OG guests. Then she mentioned Madeline. The guest conveyed their regret that they were not able to have more fun together with the actress.
"Well… It's a pity that Senior Madeline could not join us this trip. But this is no reason for us to be disheartened as we have some special guest joining us today and for the rest of the trip." Tang consoled them.
"Are you curious who they are?"
"YESSS!!!"
The guest acted as though they were unaware of who the guest would be.
"Everyone, let's welcome our guest."
Tang Tang announced with much enthusiasm as she turned to the direction of the 'door.' The six guests followed her direction and turned to the place to see four people entering the staged room.
"Hello everyone. I'm Lyra. The centre of First Last Love." Lyra, guided by Tang Tang, introduced herself.
"I'm a big fan of HTT. I've always wanted to go on trips with my friends and teammates but never got the chance to. I'm so happy that I got invited this time. Let's have lots and lots of fun together." In the end she added a 'fighting' gesture.
"Oh My God! Miss Lyra. You're much cuter in real life. All the photos and videos don't do you justice." Bryson, one of the six OG guests, admired the idol.
"Thank You."
Lyra gave a shy smile and bowed as she accepted the compliment.
Next it was Viviana's turn to introduce herself.
"Hello. I'm Viviana. An actress."
"…"
Everyone waited for the actress who was sitting next to Lyra to say something about herself. But the person seemed to be waiting for the same from someone else.
Then, Miss Tang Tang couldn't help but 'compliment' her looks.
"Miss Ying is looking so pretty today. Everyone is captured by your beauty."
"…"
Viviana already knew where she was leading her to. But she still played along.
"Thank You for the compliment."
"Really… It must've taken a lot of time to get ready."
"My stylist did the hard work."
"Miss Lyra and Miss Viviana have the same stylist?"
"Yes" Lyra answered while Viviana just nodded.
"But I styled myself today. Since I was going to pick up Sister Vivi too. Otherwise, we could have been very late." Lyra added.
"Wow!!!" Tang Tang exclaimed as she complimented. "Miss Lyra has a lot of talent. I could never dress myself up and look pretty like you."
"No. I've seen you backstage one time, without makeup. You look so pretty with no makeup too. It's just… I practice a lot since I can't depend on my stylist all the time."
"…"
Viviana couldn't help but wonder what she did to deserve such a curse. To witness two chickens complementing each other's feathers.
But the director behind the scene was having a party in his own head. It was just the beginning of the show but he could already pick up the firewood. All he needed was some spark from Viviana.
"I'll go next then." The youth who was standing next to her attracted everyone's attention.
"Nice to meet you everyone. I'm Na Yun. I'm in the same group as Brother Yang , XTM. I'm a vocalist and a dancer. I was born in 2004… Um… What else should I say?"
"That should be enough." Le Yang who was mentioned commented.
"Wait! 2004! How old are you?" Bryson cried out.
"20"
"!!!"
The man was shocked at the answer. Na Yun was 176 cm tall and had a lovely face for a boy. He thought he was a teen. 17 years old at most. But he turned out to be 20.
"I thought we have a minor amongst us and had to be mindful of what we spurt out now." Teased Derick, a well-known comedian. "Thankfully. That's not the case."
When it was Daniel's turn to introduce himself…
"Ya… I don't think you need any introduction. The whole nation knows you." Tucker Lee, who was the most senior in the group commented.
And he was just stating a fact. The citizens of the Eastern Cosidor Nation may not remember who the finance minister was. But everyone within the age group of 10 to 50 would recognise the face of the nationally agreed 'face of the century'. Although Daniel was not the most popular actor, he was one of the rising top tier actors.
Especially in the Television industry. He could act and has a great variety of presence and also a face that could make a nun get out of her confinement.
Daniel accepted the compliment with a shy humble smile. But still introduced himself.
"Hi everyone. I'm Daniel Miller. My fans call me Dannie. But you can just call me Dannie. I'm an actor. I came to HTT hoping to have a great short vacation with my companions. Let's have fun together."
