ch.3
“Yah, Junsu-ah… Mianhe.” Yunho said as he pouted at his younger friend.
Junsu raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything. He tried his best to ignore his friend yet again.
“Yah! Mianhe… How many times do I have to say sorry to you?” the older guy said, almost to a whine.
Junsu sighed. “Aish, hyung! I’m really wondering… how the hell did you get friends like that? I mean, ugh! The guy’s a dickhead! I don’t think anyone can stand him!”
Yunho shrugged. “Aigoo… Okay, look. Lee Minho-sshi’s not my friend. The friend I was telling you about had other plans yesterday. He met up with me the other day and told me that but then that Minho guy heard our conversation and he volunteered to be your date. It’s not like I had any choice. I mean the guy practically threw himself at me!”
Junsu finally looked at his hyung. “Let me guess, he heard the phrase ‘journalist for a fashion magazine’, didn’t he?” Yunho nodded. “Aigoo. I knew it. He threw himself at you so that he could have more chances of showing off his smugness in our magazine. What an ass!”
“Yah, Junsu-ah, mianheyo…” Yunho repeated. “I didn’t think he would be that proud. I really am sorry.”
Junsu sighed again. “Aish… Fine…” he said, feigning annoyance.
Yunho smiled widely. “So, you forgive me, right?”
“Hmm, not yet.” Junsu replied with a mischievous look in his eyes.
“B-bwo?”
The younger man’s eyes drifted down at Yunho’s camera, which the older guy had in his hands. Junsu smiled. He had an idea.
“Let me do the shoot for today and I’ll forgive you.”
Yunho looked at his friend incredulously. Two thoughts instantly bothered him:
1. He could never imagine anyone, besides himself, touching or holding-much more using-his precious camera. Letting Junsu, a known wrecker of any thing digital, use it would be disastrous.
2. Junsu doesn’t exactly have a good eye. Teaching him photography would be like teaching a cow how to speak perfect French.
“The shoot?” Yunho asked in disbelief.
Junsu nodded enthusiastically. “I always wanted to take pictures in photo shoots. I think it would be fun.”
“Uh… Are you really sure you want to?” the older guy asked, raising his eyebrow. “I mean, photography is not a simple pose and click. It’s more complicated than you think. You need to know a good angle, find a good lighting, use the right lens, the right shutter speed… those things. Are you sure you’re up to it?” Yunho tried his best to persuade the younger guy otherwise, though in a subtle manner. It did nothing.
“Oh come on! I’m sure it’s not that complicated. Besides, you can teach me, right? It’ll be fun!” Junsu said excitedly.
Aigoo. Yunho thought irately as he puffed air out of his mouth. This is not gonna be good.
-♥-♥-♥-
“Yah! Hold it tightly! Don’t you dare break that, Kim Junsu or I will have your neck!” Yunho yelled, trying but failing to hide how annoyed he is.
“Yah, yah, yah!” Junsu hollered back. “I’m holding it as tight as I can! It’s really heavy, you know!”
“Aish, fine! Just focus! Aigoo.” Yunho yelled again, ignoring the fact that his friend was just beside him. “Wait, you need to measure the light first.”
“Measure what? For what?”
Yunho walked towards the model, got out a silver hand-held metering device and placed it near the gorgeous model’s head. He pushed a button and read the numbers the device showed. Yunho then went back towards Junsu and took the camera from him.
“We need to adjust the shutter speed in accordance with the amount of light present.” The older guy muttered as he adjusted the settings of his camera.
“Uh. Okay. Araso.” Junsu mumbled, not understanding anything his hyung had just said.
“This is a little complicated for you, I think, so I just adjusted it myself. In the meantime,” Yunho handed him back the camera. “You should focus more on getting the right angle and the right shot. Are you ready?”
“Uh… right.”
Junsu took the camera back and held it against his face. This was far from what he had expected. Thinking of the small digital cameras usually used in family or friends’ outings, Junsu hadn’t expected he would be using the cameras professionals- like his hyung, Yunho-used. It was far too heavy for him to carry and he felt as if his he was carrying a huge boulder.
Heaving out a sigh, Junsu crouched down a little, looked through the lens and tried to look for a good angle.
Oh, boy. This is harder than I thought. He thought to himself. But I need to try.
Yunho watched as his younger friend struggled with one of his prized possessions. He bit his lip. If Junsu loses his balance, he would surely let go of the camera and-
Yunho shook his head. Now’s not the time to think about that. He said to himself.
To divert his attention, the photographer turned and looked at the model. “Choi Siwon-sshi!” he called. “How are you doing there?”
The good-looking young man just smiled. “Still okay, don’t worry about me. I’m used to this.” He said plainly. “But I am worried about your friend. Is he still okay?” Siwon chuckled as he watched the man in front of him in a silly, awkward posture that made his already huge butt look bigger.
Yunho took a glance at Junsu then bit his lip again. “Uhh… Mianhe. It’s his first time using a camera like that.”
“Ah. A first time photographer, I see.” Siwon said amusedly, his eyes still surveying hungrily the amateur photographer’s luscious butt.
“Uh, I think I got it.” Junsu said, standing straighter. “Uhm, Choi Siwon-sshi, if you could just lean a little to the right? Thank you.”
The model obliged and Junsu pressed the button hard.
“Now, a little to the left.” He began instructing. “Smile… There. Good.”
Junsu took a couple more shots.
“Hey, I think I’m getting the hang of this.” He announced proudly.
“Really?” The model asked with an eyebrow raised though still looking amused. “You still look like you’re uncomfortable, Kim Junsu-sshi.” He joked.
“Yah, be nice!” Junsu shot, not necessarily angry. “I’m new to this but I think I’m doing pretty well.”
-♥-♥-♥-
“You didn’t do pretty well.” Yunho declared as the three-him, Junsu and the gorgeous model named Siwon-settled in his studio.
“What?” Junsu squeaked in shock.
Yunho looked up from his laptop and looked at Junsu. “Well, at least not on your first shots. But the good news is, the latter shots were pretty good.” He smiled and flipped his laptop so that it faced Junsu and Siwon.
“Take a look.”
Yunho showed a slideshow of what Junsu had taken earlier. The first five or six of the shots were either too dark or too bright. The photographer then went on to lecture about how to fix this using Photoshop. Junsu listened well while, unbeknownst to him, the model sitting beside him was silently gawking at him.
“Yah! Some of the shots that went wrong weren’t entirely my fault!” Junsu whined after Yunho gave more comments on his first shots.
“Yah, yah, yah! Don’t dare blame me on that. It’s never the model’s fault.” Siwon chimed in, in a light tone.
Yunho chuckled. “I have to agree on that one. The model did a good work.”
“Oh, so it’s me?” Junsu asked, rolling his eyes.
“Yah, don’t be down.” Yunho said. “These shots are pretty good.” He showed the last batch of pictures that Junsu took.
“Hmm, yeah. These are pretty good, for an amateur.” Siwon commented sardonically.
A phone beeped. Yunho took his phone out of his pocket and looked at it. He frowned. “I’m needed at top.” He said as he stood up. The other two nodded. Yunho took his laptop with him and headed out of his studio.
“So, how does it feel like to be a photographer?” Siwon asked with a charming grin as they also headed out of the studio.
Junsu felt his cheeks go slightly red. He smiled. “Uhm, it’s good, I guess. I’m still learning. There’s still room for improvement.”
“You’re right on that.” The model replied with a wink.
Oh, man! Is he flirting with me? Junsu had to ask himself as he felt his cheeks go hotter.
“Uhm… yeah.” He squeaked, thinking of nothing more to say.
“I’m actually a photographer myself. Of course, not like Yunho-sshi, but I do know a thing or two.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. I’m glad to teach you some of the things I know. Say, how about tomorrow night… over dinner?”
Oh, hell! He is flirting! “Uh, are you asking me out on a date?” Junsu asked, trying to hide his nervousness but his eyes betrayed it.
Siwon grinned charismatically, making Junsu bite his lip to control himself. “I don’t know. You tell me…” The hunky guy said amusedly. “So, what do you say?”
