picture perfect
Jonghyun/IU, PG. 689w
“Jonghyun, take a picture for me with your camera! You brought it along, right?”
Jieun flashes a wide smile, tugging on his shirt sleeve and planting a kiss on his cheek softly. Jonghyun rolls his eyes, telling her puppy eyes is a skill reserved for his use on her only, and not the other way around, because if she’s already so perfect, what else is he going to be left with? She attempts to protest but he raises a hand and lifts his Polaroid from the table, gesturing for her to pose.
“Take a pretty one! I’m going to upload it later for the fans to see!”
“What, so they can stare at your picture all day long, ogling at you?”
She laughs and knocks his head playfully. “No, you jealous stupid dinosaur, not all of my fans are males, okay? Plus, they all already know that I’m not available.”
Jonghyun makes a face and says, “They better do, or I swear I’ll-”
“Shut up and take the picture already! You talk too much,” she replies, grinning and making her way towards a place with better lighting. Jonghyun follows behind quietly, waiting for her to pick a spot.
When she finally does, she stops and turns, clasping her fingers together and tilting her head slightly to the left. She smiles, purses her lips just a tiny bit cutely and completes the pose. Jonghyun holds the camera to his eye, counts down from three and snaps a shot, after which she bends down to fix her shoe strap.
She only lifts her head when she hears a breathless whisper coming from his direction.
“… Wow.”
Jieun leans forward, hopping on one foot towards him because she’s taken off one of her shoes. “What? Is it bad? Did it turn out okay? Do I have to take another one?”
He looks up from the picture he’s holding in between his fingers and smiles, shaking his head. A half-smirk replaces the smile and she stops short, curiously looking at him. She asks him what’s wrong again and a bit of his teeth start to show as his smile stretches across his face.
“No… actually, it’s absolutely perfect.”
Jieun bursts out laughing and swipes the picture out of his hand, looking at it closely, only to realise that it is not very much different from any other pictures of herself, whether or not they are taken professionally. She turns to the side and expects to see him laughing too, but he actually looks quite serious.
His gaze is intense yet gentle as he cradles her face in his hands, pushing stray strands of hair behind her ears.
“I mean it, you know, when I said you’re perfect. I still marvel at how amazing it is that I’ve got the world’s most talented woman as my girlfriend and she’s not only talented but perfect as well. It’s kind of…”
“Crazy,” she finishes for him, and he cracks a smile. “Crazy, I suppose. It is pretty crazy how I think about you all day and how much I actually do love you-”
“I know. You still talk too much.” She tangles her fingers in his hair and pulls him close, pressing her lips onto his. It’s a quick and simple kiss but he relishes every moment of it anyway.
If anyone asks him, he won’t be willing to trade her with anything else in the world.
“I’m not letting you upload this. It’s mine, and it’s for my eyes only.”
Jieun takes a deep breath and mentally prepares herself before she says the cheesy words. “Why don’t you let me upload this, and because I’m yours, instead of having to squint at a computer screen ‘all day long’, you can look at me whenever you want and take as many pictures as you want for yourself to keep?”
Jonghyun pauses for a split-second, blinks, attempts to register the words and smiles to himself as she facepalms.
“That sounds wonderful,” he says, moments later, prying her hands from her face and kissing her again because he believes that nothing can get better than that.
