Chapter 24 : Blossoming flowers.

Third person point of view

They went to the parking area and to their cars. They changed into their dresses one after the other. Ha Jun said the makeup should be fine so they let it be. " Shall we go for lunch ? We are already a little late ". Seung Hoon said looking at his watch. They all went to a restaurant not too far from there.

They went and sat at two different tables. Haruto and Junkyu sat down beside each other. They picked up the menu and ordered what they wanted. " You guys can take your time and eat. There is no hurry. I would like it if the sun starts setting for the next shoot. So no hurry ". Haruto and Junkyu nodded.

Their orders were served. Junkyu and Haruto didn't speak much except for a little about the food. They finished the lunch and walked out after paying for it separately. Haruto offered to pay for all of them but Seung Hoon rejected. " What will you guys do ? " Haruto asked. Seung Hoon turned to Ha Jun and back at Haruto.

" We will just sit in the caravan. I want to look through the photos ". Haruto nodded. " What about you guys ? " Ha Jun asked. Haruto looked at Junkyu. " We will go look around for a while ". Haruto said and Junkyu turned to him a little surprised. Ha Jun nodded. They parted ways there. Haruto went along with Junkyu. The others went to the caravan.

Haruto and Junkyu just walked in silence for a while. Junkyu finally decided to break it before it gets awkward. " Did you want to say something ? " He asked turning to Haruto who shook his head. " I just thought it would be nice to look around while we are here ". Junkyu nodded. They continued chatting while looking around.

Junkyu was happy that the awkwardness was gone. They toured around for almost an hour and a half. They then went back to the caravan to prepare for the next shoot. They changed one after the other into the Kimono and Ha Jun helped with the makeup for the both of them this time. He just made a few changes.

They went to a flower field this time. It was evening and the sky was beautiful in the background. The weather also got a little cooler. " It is really wonderful ". Ha Jun said and the others agreed. The scene was like a painting; so vivid and colorful. Seung Hoon spoke up. " Let's start with the solo shots ". And so Junkyu did his first and then Haruto did his.

Then it was the couple shoot. " Stand with your back to us and look at each other ". Seung Hoon said. As they stood close, their hands brushed against each other's. Both of them noticed it. Haruto got to action. He slipped his hand into Junkyu's and interlocked his fingers without looking away from his eyes. Like he was searching for an answer.

But Junkyu didn't pull away and held Haruto's hand back. Haruto automatically smiled at the gesture. Junkyu also smiled looking down at their hands and looked up at Haruto again. Haruto moved forward putting his forehead against Junkyu's closing his eyes. Junkyu also closed his eyes. " I am going to take back my words ".

Haruto said when they pulled away. Junkyu wondered what Haruto was speaking about. " Hyung is not just good looking... " Haruto lowered his voice. " You are beautiful... very beautiful ". Haruto said leaving Junkyu stunned. He chuckled at Junkyu's expression. Junkyu looked away in embarrassment.

" Done ". Seung Hoon said and they let go of their hands. They turned to Seung Hoon. " Hug each other but while facing each other ". They nodded and changed the pose. " Junkyu-ssi can hug tightly. Haruto-ssi interlock your fingers and let them rest on his back ". Junkyu could feel his ears getting redder at Haruto's gaze.

He was basically giving him a teasing look. " I don't think you are hugging tight enough hyung ". Haruto said and Junkyu glared at him. " Shut up ". Haruto laughed. Junkyu pinched Haruto on the back. Haruto's eyes went wide but he couldn't say anything. He hissed in silence. Junkyu grinned happily. " Gotcha ". He said.

He got his revenge for all the teasing. Haruto couldn't say anything. He just smiled seeing Junkyu all happy for getting back at him. Junkyu could feel Haruto's muscular body. He couldn't help but think how it would feel like if they hugged properly. " Done ". Seung Hoon was super happy with the result. They came out so well.

" You can crouch down ". They both pulled away and carefully crouched as asked. " Haruto-ssi, pluck a small flower and put it behind Junkyu-ssi's ear ". Haruto looked around himself and plucked the one he liked. He brushed Junkyu's hair back and put it behind Junkyu's ear. Seung Hoon and his assistant clicked photos of all their actions; from the moment Haruto plucked the flower till he put it on Junkyu.

" Hold. Let your hand be there. Junkyu-ssi look down and Haruto-ssi look towards Junkyu-ssi. Now Junkyu-ssi slowly rise your head and look at him. Don't smile yet ". They maintained the expression. " Now smile ". Both of them smiled. Seung Hoon finished and looked at the pictures. " Perfect ".

Haruto stood up and looked down at Junkyu who was looking at the flowers. He extended his hand and Junkyu looked up at him. He took Haruto's hand and stood up too. The sun was almost setting in the back. Seung Hoon looked at them. " Let's do one last one. Stand facing each other while holding hands. Look at each other first and then look at the sun ".

Junkyu was already holding one of Haruto's hand. He held the other too. They did the pose as well and were done for the day. They walked back to the caravan and changed out of the outfit and put on their dresses. Ha Jun helped them remove their makeup and his assistant packed up the clothes.

They took the suit case and all of them got out of the caravan. The assistant went to the car and put the suit case in it. " Thank you for your hard work ". Junkyu said and both of them gave a bow. The others also returned it. " You guys too. I sent the location to you guys. So see you guys tomorrow ". Seung Hoon said and waved.

" Be careful on your way ". Haruto said and they bid goodbyes. They all got in their own vehicles to go back home. Haruto and Junkyu got in the car and buckled up. " It will take time for us to reach. So let's have dinner on our way and then I will drop you. Don't reject today. You must be tired from all that ".

Haruto said in one go and Junkyu agreed. Haruto smiled and they drove away. They did stop at a restaurant for dinner and then Haruto drove Junkyu home. He parked to the side once he reached the building. He looked at it like it was something interesting. Junkyu laughed. " It is just any other building ".

" But you live in it ". Haruto said still looking at it. Junkyu snickered. He shook his head and got out. Haruto also got down. " What are you doing ? " Junkyu asked going to the other side. Haruto walked up to him and hugged him. Junkyu was stumped. Haruto hugged him tighter making Junkyu's heart skip a beat. Haruto let out a breath and relaxed into the hug.

" I was trying hard not to since morning ". He mumbled in a small voice but Junkyu heard it. He smiled and also put his hands around Haruto hugging him back. He thought that it definitely felt better than he had imagined it. Haruto smiled. " Hyung... you know you smell really good ". Junkyu chuckled at the sudden compliment. " Really ? " Haruto nodded. " Yes ".

Haruto liked how Junkyu smelled. Junkyu had a scent of flowers on him. Haruto noticed it when they hugged for the shoot or at times when they were standing close. It felt really calming to him. He could smell it even now. Haruto thought that Junkyu was definitely the one who smells the best out of the people he's known.

He wondered about what kind of flower smell it was. He took a deep breath and pulled away from the hug. " Good night hyung. See you tomorrow ". " Yeah. Drive carefully ". Junkyu waited for Haruto to leave and then walked in. He went to his house and took a shower. He dressed up and fell on the bed directly. He wondered if he will be able to wake up the next day.
