Chapter 3

You stared at him, skeptical of his intentions.

"Is this for a reality show or something?" You asked him. "I don't understand why you would waste your time with a fan like this."

Jihoon started to respond, but as he did he removed his facemask, an action that distracted you to the point that whatever he said went right over your head. His cheeks were riddled red. It wasn't from the sun, it couldn't be because his face had been hidden from the sun before. And the tinge was just over his cheekbones, almost like...

Jihoon seemed to notice where your eyes were and he shifted his gaze away from you after only a moment. You frowned a little and opened your mouth to comment on the red of his cheeks when he held up his phone in the prime position for a selfie.

"Come closer, I only bite when people want me to."

His laugh was so... So much more precious then you had ever realized. You had always cherished it. You found comfort in his laughter in the past, but to be right there next to it. You never wanted him to stop laughing. The way his whole body moved when he laughed. Even though it was a pretty small laugh considering what he had proven he could do on some interviews. You looked at him, your lips slowly curving up into a smile. He noticed the look, and his laugh quieted down so that he could smile back at you.

Click.

You blinked and looked at the phone screen in surprise. You couldn't see the picture that Jihoon had just taken you could only see what was currently being reflected in the camera. Your surprised expression, and Jihoon's pleasant one. He lowered his hand and set his phone down in the grass.

"Your turn," he stated.

You wordlessly handed over your phone and murmured off your passcode. He smiled at the screen before even opening the phone.

"I'm your background?" He asked. Your face reddened in embarrassment. You had forgotten about that. You couldn't figure out how to intelligently respond to the comment either. Anything you said would just sound dumb and fangirl-y or super tsundere-y and you didn't want to come off either way so you just didn't say anything at all.

Jihoon didn't seem to mind this and began to open your phone camera.

"You're pretty quiet," he commented as he held up your phone for the picture. He smiled at the phone screen and so did you.

Click.

He lowered the phone and went into your photos to look at the picture you had just taken. You could tell there was more that he wanted to say to you, but you could also tell that he wasn't going to say it.

"I've been in a mood the last few days. It doesn't seem to want to pass," you admitted rawly. You cursed yourself inwardly for being so open with him. Just because he was one of your top favorite idols didn't mean you should feel comfortable talking to him like this. You always knew that you shouldn't act like it was okay behavior to feel comfortable with idols that you didn't know. You told yourself not to treat them like they were familiar when they posted on instagram and when you wrote them in letters, but something in you had never been able to hold yourself back and prevent yourself from emotionally befriending your idols. In the long run, it shouldn't have mattered anyways. You were never supposed to get the opportunity to meet any of them.

This, well, it had never been part of the plan.

"A mood?" Jihoon questioned. He looked at you for a moment too long, so you looked down at your hands. He took this as an opportunity to look back down at your phone and start to browse through your photos.
