CHAPTER 5 : MY STUPIDITY

"Yeah, Jihoon. You're so stupid. Why did you even leave him there alone?" It's already past dinner since Jihoon strides sway from Hyunsuk. He can't help but bring his feet straight away to his hotel room.

It was the first time he ever felt like that. Being enchanted by a guy's beauty and experiencing tremendously weird feelings. A feeling he never had.

The image of the way Hyunsuk looks at the clock tower comes to his mind again. The tiny hands on his chest, his eyes shining under the sunlight, and his fluffy black hair fluttering every time getting the touch by the wind. If he could share the details, he would but he prefers to keep it to himself.

Like a creep, his lips create a smile.

"Ahem! Stupid Jihoon! Are you a pervert?" He said as he ruffles his head. He then takes out his camera to look at the photos he had taken just now. It becomes a habit to check all over the photos that had just been taken. As a photographer, in this phase, would choose the best out of the best photos to get displayed.

He usually smiles as he goes through the photos, being satisfied with his job. His finger keeps clicking the next button. Each of the pictures makes him smile. How simple is his happiness?

His finger stops pressing the button when a photo of a person finally appears. It was the first shoot.

"Sir, can you please stand in the middle? Move your head 35°. Rotate your body at least 45° from your original stance. Put-"

"...Can you just press the button? I am not doing this for fun."

"Oh, I am sorry sir, I'm being carried away. Can we do one time?"

"JUST PRESS THE FUCKING BUTTON!"

"It won't turn out well if I did."

"Press the button or I'll leave."

"No. No. No. Okay, sir please this one time please be cooperate."

Hyunsuk rolled his eyes. "Ok, no childish pose." He then fixes his outfit and his stance. Glad that Hyunsuk finally give cooperation, Jihoon smiled. "Alright, sir. Say cheeseee."

Instead of showing his best smile, Hyunsuk frowned at Jihoon's camera, and the first shot was taken.

"Hahaha, he's cute," Jihoon mutters to himself.

"WAH!!! Jihoon you're dumb. ARGHHHH!!"

"So, Oppa. How does your first trip? You don't even read my texts."

"It's fine. I enjoyed myself here tho I think I am kinda unlucky."

"UNLUCKY?! WHAT HAPPENED? DID YOU GET PICKPOCKETED?"

Hyunsuk wiped his wet hair using the towel on his head. He then takes a seat facing a wide-open window showing the whole of London City. London Eye could be seen clearly from where he stayed. The giant Ferris wheel looks more breathtaking at night with colorful neon lights.

It's a pity that Big Ben can't be seen from here but it's not a big deal because he already visited it by himself. He then let out a heavy sigh remembering what just happened to him.

"It's not me the one who gets pickpocketed. So..."

After Jihoon leaves him alone dumbfounded. Hyunsuk roaming around Big Ben. The design of the building never failed to amaze him. The details of every corner of the building make him wonder about the effort one put to make such a magnificent building.

As he walks his feet bring him to the nearer mall. He then decided to do some books and clothes shopping. Satisfied with his shopping, he then decided to have dinner at the hotel restaurant.

"WHAT?! So Oppa, you tell me someone is asking you to be his model?"

"..."

"AND YOU REALLY BECOME AN INSTANT MODEL?! MY OLDER GRUMPY BROTHER?! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Keep laughing or I ended this call."

"Okay Oppa, sorry. So, how's that man?"

"What do you mean?"

"Is he cute or something?"

"Hyuna, are you interested in him?"

"Did I ever say so? I just asking the most common question."

Hyunsuk takes a sip of his drink.

"Well, he's annoying, loud, dumb, and careless. How can he get pickpocketed despite his big body? I never found someone as persistent as him. Do you care to return the favor to someone even after they rejected you?"

"Nah," Hyuna answered with a smile.

"I know right? But it's different from him. He keeps following me even after I said no so many times. He is so passionate about his job. The moment he hold his camera to take a photo, he changed into a completely different person."

"Mhmm? So, he is cool huh?"

"What?! How do you take things that way?"

"Hahaha, Oppa. I'm glad you found you make a friend there."

"What friend? He is just an annoying stranger."

"Yeah, yeah Oppa. I am sleepy. GOODNIGHT~"

"Hey Hyuna, Hyuna!"

"..."

The call is ended from the other side.

"Hahaha Oppa, you finally found an interesting person. I hope he is the reason for your happiness. Dear annoying stranger, please keep hold of my brother. He is like a grumpy cat but he is nice once you know how to tame him."

Hyunsuk go through his phone and inspect all of the photos he took today. He sighed. None of it satisfied him enough. Well, he is not photogenic, to begin with. He never has the guts to take the photos wherever he goes. Not to mention taking a selca.

It's always his sister or his assistant who did the photo session for him if he needs one.

Comes to Jihoon, he is now kicking the blanket when he realized he smiles like a creep over another guy's photo. He couldn't pull himself together. His face is flushed red up to his nape. Then, he slowly reaches his camera again and presses the display button to look at another photo.

Click, click, click.

Other photos to other photos are showing up and it's all Hyunsuk's photos. As he calm down a bit, he started to amaze by his skills. It all comes out well despite not getting along with his model.

Suddenly, some sort of thought comes to Jihoon's mind.

"I hope I could meed this sir again but how to meet him? I don't even know where he stays." He then pondered for a while.

Sir...

"Wait... WHAT WAS HIS NAME AGAIN?!" Jihoon's eyes widened. He can't believe it's the last thing he thought about. He ruffles his head getting frustrated over his own stupidity.

Morning comes. Jihoon goes to the cafe near the park to have his breakfast. His aura is filled with a gloomy feeling. It all comes from the thought of him not knowing the name of a person he spent time with last time.

Plus, Jihoon already thought of him as his hero and yet HED DOESN'T KNOW HIS NAME.

"If I was him, I might also hate him."

"As you should."

Jihoon raises his head when he heard a familiar voice approach him. A person he couldn't imagine seeing in the first place.

He then raises and bows at Hyunsuk.

"S-sir, what are you doing here." Jihoon stuttering. Hyunsuk just could see the top of his head. Not knowing why, but it reminded him of a puppy that was caught making a mistake by his owner.

"To have a breakfast, of course," Hyunsuk said while taking his seat at the same table as Jihoon.

"S-sir, what you doing here?!" Again. The same question with a different tone. Jihoon is flustered when Hyunsuk suddenly sits at the same table as him. He then looks around. Most of the tables are not occupied.

Why did Hyunsuk suddenly sit with him?

"Hey, what's your order." Hyunsuk's voice snapped Jihoon back to real life. He looks at the waiter who is waiting next to him with a notepad and pen in his hands. He looks at Jihoon.

"Uhm, a-anything." Jihoon couldn't think of what's he want to eat. Looking at him, Hyunsuk sighed.

"Full English breakfast and a glass of hot choco for him, please. Thank you." Hyunsuk said the order in a calm tone.

"I- I have something I must do. I-" before Jihoon could step his foot, Hyunsuk grip his wrist.

"Stay."
