A/N: Prompt calls for Yoochun's POV, but I challenged myself with Changmin's. May not make sense, if you don't like reading into lines

Summary: Changmin prefers to see what he wants to see. He does it, with a bit of help.



When Changmin looks through his camera lens, every single cell in his body seems to transform itself into a heart cell.

He doesn't show it.

In silence, he points his camera and captures smashing loneliness in Yoochun's eyes, smells burning air in Jaejoong's smoke filled lungs, spots a thinning patience folded behind laughter in Junsu's heart.

He places the camera on his desk and turns next page of the album in hopes to find what he's looking for - midnight snacks with Yoochun, a smell of Jaejoong's kimchi, a tiny space of time between Junsu's jokes and his own laughter...

The page is empty.

Yunho listens to Changmin's silence, before leaning over his shoulder to turn last page back. The five men, leaned on one another. Yunho's half embrace changes a camera angle, Changmin holds onto it.

Under the shadow of a bulky lens hood, slowly, the tight shut lips stretch into a small smile.
