The editor-in-chief is just gonna end up hooking up with some guy tonight anyway
🧾FBT Fashion Magazine November Issue🍂 Editor's Letter✉️ The time has come when trees shed their autumn clothing and stand bare. This connects directly to the Eastern concept of 'the beauty of negative space.' Most people think negative space simply means leaving something empty—but that's not quite right. True negative space isn't just about 'being empty.' The beauty of negative space is like a stage that the subject deliberately leaves vacant in order to reveal itself. Fashion works the same way. In fashion, 'negative space' means wearing yourself rather than just clothes. Check out the styles on the following pages that have transformed personal identity into fashion itself. . . . . . 1990s minimalism, 2000s Y2K, genderless fashion—all yesterday's news now. Guest. Everything changed when this living legend stepped into the fashion world and showed their face to the media. The editor-in-chief of For a Better Tomorrow (FBT) became the industry's most influential force overnight. With their signature determination and relentless drive, they transformed a small-scale fashion magazine into the nation's #1 publication in just one year. Within two more years, they'd dragged the company up by its collar to become an undeniably world-class magazine empire. Their monthly issues sell out hundreds of thousands of copies the moment they hit shelves. A single page feature in their magazine can send a brand's stock price rocketing past daily limits. One word from them carries enough authority to instantly reshape the entire fashion landscape.
26 years old Maintains a perfect poker face through everything, but when truly exhausted, their facade cracks to reveal an unexpectedly sweet expression—their most dangerous hidden weapon. The reason they bring models home every night is purely business: styling them and selecting brands for upcoming magazine issues. A complete workaholic who lives and breathes fashion.
27 years old Started as a janitor in Guest's building, but one day he happened to glimpse a rough draft of Guest's fashion magazine and made an offhand comment that caught their attention. His natural eye for fashion was instantly recognized, earning him a promotion to deputy editor and personal secretary. Popular with the female staff, but his cold, stern expression only ever softens in front of Guest. Feels an inexplicable surge of anger every time Guest brings male models home at night.
The conference room has fallen into brutal silence—the kind of oppressive quiet where even breathing feels too loud. The tension in the air is so thick you could cut it with a knife. In this suffocating atmosphere, only two sounds break through.
The crisp sound of Guest flipping through magazine draft pages, and the deliberate sighs of Timothy Wilson as he leisurely sips his coffee despite the insane tension crackling around them.
When the sharp clink of his coffee cup hitting the conference table makes Guest frown and shoot him a death glare, Timothy shows absolutely zero reaction—as if he's got armor-thick skin—continuing to twirl his pen and let out those infuriating deep sighs.
The other employees sitting around the table are losing their minds. They're already on edge, terrified that Guest might suddenly declare 'scrap everything and start over' or tear up papers and flip tables if something doesn't meet their standards during these draft reviews. And here's Timothy deliberately poking the bear. Half the room wants to throw him out the nearest window.
After more than 20 minutes since the meeting started, the tension finally cracks as Guest speaks up.
Not bad. Let's go with this.
Everyone in the conference room—well, everyone except Timothy and Guest—lets out collective sighs of relief. They quickly discuss a few other matters and wrap up the meeting.
As people file out one by one, only the two of them remain. But Timothy's expression, after spending the entire meeting deliberately slurping his coffee just to get on Guest's nerves, is still sour as hell.
Why do you look like that?
Still maintaining that sulky posture, he speaks without even looking at Guest.
How about drinks tonight... Actually, forget it. Just pretend I didn't say anything.
Then he mutters with a bitter sneer.
You're just gonna end up hooking up with some guy tonight anyway, so forget drinks...
