Baekhyun clicks his tongue as he browses through Chanyeol’s pictures of the morning at the airport: blurry, blurry, wrong person in focus, blurry, shot of the background, shot of the crowd, blurry. By the tenth picture (only the 9th had been focused, HQ Kris) Baekhyun turns to Chanyeol with a disgusted look.
“Wow, you really are shit at this,” Baekhyun tells him.
“It’s not my fault,” Chanyeol pouts a little, “I just flail about a lot. Like a real fan does.”
“We all flail, Chanyeol,” Baekhyun says, unimpressed. “There’s this setting called anti-shake in your camera. Did you know that?”
“.....yeah,” Chanyeol says, snatching his camera back and cuffing Baekhyun lightly on the neck. Baekhyun ducks. “I knew that. I just find that anti-shake really kills the quality of the photos, okay? The shutter speed and all of that. Aperture.”
Baekhyun snorts, rolling his eyes and stretching his neck to watch the door; they were probably due to be let in the hall any time soon. “Did you just buy that camera because someone told you to?”
“No!” Chanyeol shoots him an indignant look. “Well, Junmyeon-hyung - you know, Let’s Love Exo? Yeah, he recommended this. But I was thinking of getting it anyway.” He plants his elbow in Baekhyun’s side for emphasis. Baekhyun grabs his camera over and sets it to anti-shake for him, shaking his head. Chanyeol was new in the business and had nothing on Baekhyun’s experience in the SNSD fandom, but this was almost ridiculous. DUIZHANG! | krishyung.net, Chanyeol’s fansite for Kris, had always only a handful of pictures per event for this very reason.
“Try it,” Baekhyun tells him, handing the camera over, “you owe me a meal.”
“What?”
“For imparting my priceless knowledge on taking fanphotos to dummies like you,” Baekhyun smiles at him, “hey, I should write a book about this.”
Chanyeol flicks him on the neck again in reply, but they get allowed into the MBC building then and Baekhyun is too distracted in using his elbows to squeeze into one of the frontmost spots to retaliate. Chanyeol snags a spot two people over, but cuts in front of them to wiggle into place next to Baekhyun, giving him a superior smirk. Baekhyun rolls his eyes and takes out his camera to adjust the focus, snapping randomly to test the lighting. An hour to go before the event starts, so he removes his phone and checks his Taurus | tao-yah.com Weibo account: he’s rewarded with a notification that Zitao (yes, the real Zitao) had liked his preview of the batch of pictures this morning. Smirking and showing Chanyeol the notification and getting a gum bubble burst into his face in return, Baekhyun pushes at Chanyeol and turns his 黄子韬 Taurus cap so the logo faces the front so Zitao can smile at his camera during the performance again later.
Kyungsoo presses the send button on his message to Minseok to be left on Exo’s fanboard (Minseok, please make sure to wear warm clothes in this cold winter. Fighting for the new year.), as he always ensures to leave a reminder every month for Minseok on the fanboard in case Minseok checks it on a whim, and removes his camera to make sure his for minseok | 900326.com card (not too large, not too small) is exactly pasted to the right spot on his camera - it bugs him and cuts at his cheek sometimes if otherwise. The rehearsal is starting; EXO come on stage to wave at the fans and do a short introduction, then start their mic test. Kyungsoo snaps quite a few nice ones of Minseok in his casual outfit, till the PD calls for a pause because Kris’ mic isn’t working.
Lu Han perks up after waving at the crowd and scanning it, but Kyungsoo doesn’t realise Lu Han’s noticed him and his camera (too busy ensuring the filter mode and lighting is perfect for Minseok’s skin tone) until Lu Han pulls Minseok close and points straight at Kyungsoo. Kyungsoo smiles behind his camera; Lu Han often points Kyungsoo out to Minseok, which Kyungsoo is incredibly grateful for because it means Minseok looks right at his camera and smiles, bowing a bit. Kyungsoo has a suspicion that for minseok is Lu Han’s favourite fansite, and he’s about 60% sure that this one member of his fansite, reddevils0420, who likes every single picture he posts, is Lu Han - the IP address is right in the area EXO’s dorm is in.
Sehun, however, is not at all happy with this - why the fuck Lu Han was always looking at this Xiumin fansite is utterly baffling and very, very frustrating. He’s got his laminated 사슴이 | xiaolu.net card on his camera, his huge bazooka lens pointing right at Lu Han, and he’s about half a head taller than most of the crowd usually, but nope. Lu Han’s never, ever looked at his camera. Perhaps he should be standing near that Xiumin fansite, he thinks, then Lu Han would look in his direction. That fansite guy was about a ten metres away from him in the crowd: enough time for Sehun to elbow people out of the way and reach him in time for the performance to start. Perfect.
Jongin manages to snag a position three people away from for minseok today - not a bad day at all, and he’s angled so that he can see for minseok and the stage at the same time, so he can sneak glances at him and also take fancams of Yixing for xing and dance | zhangyixing.com without much effort or strain on his neck, unlike other events have proved. It’s not that, you know, he’s a Minseok stan, nor that he’s a creep, but he just likes the way for minseok writes deadpan but somehow cute messages for Minseok on the fanboard and also how for minseok has the cutest fangoods ever (which Jongin orders every time, though he really isn’t a Minseok fan), and also how for minseok is just really..... cute. Both online and in real life, and so Jongin steals glances at for minseok every time they’re both at an event - his eyes just gravitate to for minseok naturally, or something. He’s not a creeper.
This one guy slipping his way through the crowd to end up right next to for minseok, though, probably is one, Jongin thinks, frowning in distaste. This guy is skinny and very fair, with a baseball cap on his head and a distinctly determined expression on his face, his tongue peeking out from the corner of his mouth. He ends up standing very, very close to for minseok, way too close for strangers, and Jongin catches for minseok’s weirded-out glance at the guy and his tiny shuffle away. The guy moves even closer to for minseok, eyes seemingly trained on the stage, but this raises all the alarms in Jongin’s head. This creeper was probably aiming to cop a feel while disguised by the crowd or something, what the fuck. for minseok is looking increasingly uncomfortable and shooting the guy strange looks, but the guy seems unfazed.
“Excuse me?” Jongin hears for minseok say. The creep glances at him.
“Can you move? You’re kind of creepily close,” for minseok says and shuffles as much as he can away from the creep, who seems very confused. This guy is a real dab hand at acting, Jongin frowns.
“I’m not.... stalking you?” The creep says, giving for minseok an incredulous look. for minseok turns away and looks rather put out, angling his shoulder to face the creep.
This will not do - Jongin will not stand aside and watch this creep continue with his gross plan. He pushes through the crowd and, pretending that the crowd is pushing him from the back, near throws himself between the creep and for minseok. for minseok turns around, surprised, but Jongin just gives him an embarrassed smile like he’s sorry for being pushed into such close contact, so for minseok smiles back at him with a little nod and whoa, Jongin almost has to look straight ahead to keep his heart from racing out of his throat.
After collecting himself, he turns to glare at the creep, who just gives him a strange look like he’s the creepy one, and makes to move around him, closer to for minseok. What the fuck. Jongin looks straight ahead and surreptitiously stomps on his foot, pretending to turn around in surprise when the creep yelps in pain. The creep glares at him, but Jongin just angles himself so for minseok is entirely inaccessible to the creep. The performance starts for real now, and the creep seems to forgo wanting to cop a feel of for minseok for taking pictures, so Jongin mentally pats himself on the back for whiteknighting well done.
Sehun makes his way over to Junmyeon with a scowl on his face after the performance is over to wait for the ending of Music Core, EXO waving happily to the crowd and exiting backstage for now.
“Where’d you go,” Junmyeon asks, scrolling through his pictures of all six of them.
“Over there,” Sehun nods in the direction of the strange fucker and the Xiumin fansite, unable to keep the scowl off his face. “Weirdos.”
“What?”
“I went over there to take good pictures of Lu Han, remember that Xiumin fansite I told you about?”
“Yeah,” Junmyeon says distractedly, because EXO are coming out on stage again for some reason, Kris saying something.
“Lu Han keeps looking at him for some reason, I don’t know why, but anyway I went over there in the hopes of Lu Han looking over and two weirdos there, the fansite and his friend or whatever, thinks I’m stalking him? Or something?”
“Hmm?” Junmyeon makes a noncommital noise as he pans to Zitao, trying to keep a steady hold on his camera.
“I don’t know, crazy weirdos, what the fuck. I don’t even know who they are, and one of them stepped on my foot, hyuuuuung.” Sehun pouts and tugs at Junmyeon’s sleeve, because Junmyeon doesn’t seem to be paying attention to him. Junmyeon makes a little frustrated noise and ignores him, still focusing on Yixing speaking.
“Hyuuuuuung!” Sehun whines, poking at Junmyeon’s arm.
“Ssshhh, look, Lu Han is looking here now!” Junmyeon yanks his arm out of reach as Sehun turns to the stage in surprise, slamming his lens into the side of Junmyeon’s head by accident. Oops. But Lu Han was indeed looking in their general direction, so Sehun snaps several pictures before checking to see if Junmyeon was okay.
“Sorry, hyung!” EXO hold hands and bow once, on stage, but Junmyeon is still incapacitated by the hit to have caught this on camera. He straightens, shooting Sehun his best attempt at frustration, but Junmyeon’s face has never really managed to stray much from amiable.
“Sorry,” Sehun pats him, and goes back to admiring the pictures he took of Lu Han. Not bad for today at all.
