The painted and carved features dominates the once (s/c) base, every color was rather simple, yet bold and painted with such precise lines that it almost looks like a mosaic.
The facial features.
They are curved yet sharply defined; they seem to stable but tumble at the same time. Like Jimin, so stable but always in free-fall inside.
Jimin was soft, but could lampoon people who spark his anxieties without meaning to. He is bright, but there really isn't anything of substance inside.
But he hoped so for these dummies that he’s worked so, so very hard on.
He hoped that there is more meaning in the plastic bones that he created other than using them as an object for testing, tumbling colors, chaotic and shallow.
Jimin chewed on his bottom lip as he held his breath.
His dark eyes were widened in focus.
He brought his face close to the plastic one as he brought the blue tweezers in his steady hand closer to the eye.
’Almost there..’ He mentally notes.
”I got it!” He cheered aloud, setting the blue tweezers aside on a small silver tray.
He just attached the last eyelash to the male’s eye.
Jimin grinned and let out a sigh of relief. Jimin stepped back with his hands on his hips as he admired his finished products.
The male dummy was probably one, if not, the best thing he was ever created.
The male dummy had a round face, but also had a strong jawline. He had a longer nose, and a smaller chin.
His complexion was a pale, flawless type.
The dummy had a small mouth with an obvious Cupid's bow. His lips were smooth and a dark rosy color, his upper lip was thinner but his bottom lip was thicker.
His eyes were a dark mocha. They were round and doe like with thin double eyelids. He also had dark, thick, perfectly sculpted eyebrows.
His hair was an ebony shade and it was soft, neatly combed and carefully styled.
His build was very slim, but also very masculine. His tiny waist gave him good body proportions too. The male dummy had long legs as well, it was actually taller than Jimin.
Smiling at the satisfaction of his work, Jimin's gaze shifted over to the female dummy.
The lines of her body were clean and symmetrical; it was a body which occasionally fell into splendid poses; there was no suggestion of the trim, stereotyped fashion-plate about it.
She had wolfish (e/c) eyes like limpid pools of gold that adorned her exceptionally (s/c) face, soft (h/c) hair that tumbled over her shoulders like a fountain of molten obsidian, an aquiline nose, and chalky pink lips that were blue with cold.
Jimin would go back later to fill in the color of her lips to make them a rosy color as well.
Her face shone in the watery white light above. It burst in beams through the almost complete cloud layer above to cast transitory spotlights.
”Wow,” Jimin breathed. “I’m good.”
"Wow Jimin!" A feminine voice exclaimed.
Startled, Jimin swiftly turned around to face the person that was leaning against the door frame.
Min YoonHee.
She had a sculpted figure which was twine thin. Her waist was tapered and she had a pale complexion. She had dark, slender eyebrows that looked down on her long, velvety eyelashes. Her delicate ears framed a button nose. A set of pearly white teeth gleamed as she blew gently on her periwinkle fingernails.
Her flowing, moon shadow black hair fell right at her hip. Her enticing caramel eyes gazed at Jimin and she formed a smile with her puffy, heart shaped cherry sweet glossy lips.
"They look amazing, Jimin! Are these the models we're going to use?" YoonHee asked, walking further into the room and closer to Jimin’s masterpieces. "I almost thought they were real people, this is..wow~!"
Amazement doesn't quite cover it.
It feel like someone just took the spark of wonder and poured on kerosene. The smile YoonHee showed on the outside can't adequately reflect what she felt inside; it's like every neuron of her brain is trying to fire in both directions at once - the best kind of paralysis.
”Yah, can’t you knock?” Jimin playfully spat as he raised a brow. “I could have sworn that I locked the door..”
”You did,” YoonHee giggled as she pressed her back against the table and fixed her gaze on the taller male figure in the room.
”Hmm..number seven hundred forty-eight, you are looking..very attractive this evening I must say,” YoonHee whistled and winked. “I’m Min YoonHee.”
”Yah, quit flirting with my models,” Jimin laughed. “Plus..I haven’t picked out their names yet, but I don’t want it to be just a number.”
“You’re really extra when it comes to these things,” YoonHee sighed. “I wouldn’t get too attached if I were you, they’re just going to get destroyed with everything else.”
”No they’re not! See the material of their skin?” Jimin stated confidently as he grabbed the wrist of the female dummy. “See this? The most damage they will get is maybe a few scratches, but they won’t break like the others do. Because of that, we can reuse them for future testing! So Kwon can get off my *** about how I’m ‘wasting money’..if anything I’m saving this company money! Besides all of this is coming out of my pocket!”
YoonHee giggled at Jimin’s sudden rant.
”Cutie..” She mumbled quietly. “You’re such a nerd, Jimin.”
”Psh, whatever YoonHee,” Jimin brushed off. “Why aren't you at home?”
”I knew you were still here, so I just wanted to drop by and see how you were doing,” She answered honestly. “So..are you going to make them clothes? Or-“
”Well yeah, but I want to do it at home..I already started making clothes for this one,” He pointed toward the male. “I should finish by tonight, but I haven’t picked a color yet for the girl..I think I might do blue. What do you think?”
YoonHee shrugged and smiled lightly as she placed a reassuring hand on Jimin’s shoulder.
”Whatever you do, I’m sure it’ll turn out great,” She said. “Well..I’m gonna go home, I’m super tired. Don’t stay up too late, okay? And don’t forget to eat, I know it’s late but still. Get some rest, you’ve earned it. You did well today, Jimin.”
Jimin’s eyes averted down to his feet as a shy smile formed of his lips.
”Oh..! Th-Thank you, YoonHee.” Jimin blushed.
YoonHee gave Jimin a firm pat on his back.
”Goodnight,” She chuckled. “Smell ya later, nerd.”
”Heh..yeah,” Jimin replied softly. “S-See ya..”
With one hand, Jimin gripped the black and blue plastic chopsticks to bring the spicy ramen to his red lips while the other held a button to the white fabric.
As he pulled away, he coughed a bit from eating the ramen too quickly.
Now that his hand was free, he used it to pick up the needle and thread that was set aside.
Jimin looped the thin white string through the tiny holes of the white button, ever so carefully.
When he pulled back to view his work, he tied the string and ripped the remaining parts of it with his teeth.
”Yes!” He exclaimed, running his fingers through his (choose color) hair while letting out a heavy sigh. “Oh my gosh..finally, yes.”
At last, he had finally finished the female dummy’s clothes.
The dress was plain and simple, but it was also cute.
A creamy color loose fabric draped over her body.
It had a loose, roundish collar and six white buttons in the front. Three on the left, and three on the right.
The sleeves were loose and short, they cut off at her forearms.
The plain cream colored, slightly wrinkled skirt fell a little above her knees.
Since the fabric store was closed, Jimin could not buy the fabrics and colors that he originally wanted to use for the two, so he had to work with what he already had.
All Jimin did for the male dummy was make the white button up for him, but tailored his own pants to make it longer so that it could fit the dummy’s long legs perfectly.
Therefore, the male dummy’s clothes were not at all hard finish.
Jimin sat the two dummies next to each other, and stepped back to look at them.
”Park Jimin, you are indeed incredible.” He muttered to himself.
Jimin had finally finished his months of hard work.
Well..actually he’s just missing one more thing.
Names.
Jimin has been struggling to pick out the perfect names for the two.
All he knew, was that he wanted to make them as a married couple, and he knew the family name that he wanted to use for the two of them.
Jeon.
Jimin leaned his back against his table, and leaned his head on his shoulder. Jimin pouted his lip and starred hard at the female dummy, determined to figure out a name for her. Until sudden, it hit him.
”(Y/N)..” He whispered. “(Y/N)..! Yes, yes that’s it! Jeon (Y/N).”
Picking out a name for the male dummy was a little more difficult.
But to make it a little easier, he told himself to choose a name that started with a ‘J’, just like his.
-Jeon Jihyun (전지현)
-Jeon Junghyun (전정현)
-Jeon Jungkook (전정국)
-Jeon Jimin (전지민)
-Jeon Joonho (전준호)
Those were the top five names in his list.
Jimin decided to go with the name ‘Jeon Jungkook,’ because it had a nice ring to it, and it simple just fit.
”Jeon Jungkook, and Jeon (Y/N),” Jimin said with a smile as he placed his hands on his hips. “My perfect creations~”
