Blurred Lens

One on one

"Is this spot okay?" You asked, ignoring the weird vibes between the two.

"Yeah it'll be fine," Jungkook replied, adjusting his clothes slightly for the photos. There were a few creases in the shirt, maybe they were going for a more casual look?

"Great, I'll set up quickly. Do you both mind standing in front of the tree, not too close to the trunk."

The couple grudgingly walked towards the tree and began whispering viciously to each other. Bong-Cha's face became a dark shade of pink and it was clear they were in disagreement. Jungkook looked like he was trying to calm her down, all you heard him say was "Just suck it up," or something like that.

Once you'd set up the argument had come to a stop and you broke the tension quickly. "So how dramatic are we thinking? Sir, you could possibly hold your fiancée in your arms. Madam you could hold his neck or have your arms out. It really depends on what vibe you're going for."

They looked increasingly uncomfortable at your words and Jungkook shuffled from foot to foot. No reply was given.

"... Or you could begin with sitting back to back, or lying down together, I usually tell people to pose how it feels right." You stuttered, maybe they were also a shy couple, similar to who you'd dealt with this morning. Maybe Jungkook and Bong-Cha just needed to warm up to it.

"Back to back sounds good," Bong-Cha muttered. They awkwardly made their way to the floor and pressed their backs together. It just didn't make a good picture.

"Um, maybe relax a little and glance at each other over your shoulders?" You suggested, helplessly trying to save the situation.

They both became irritated and Jungkook let out another sigh. You felt your face burn up, these clients were pretty difficult to work with.

However they did as they were told and you might have been able to grasp one decent picture. They then looked at you, clearly looking for further directions.

"How about we do individual headshots and then we'll get you together again?" Maybe chatting one on one would calm their nerves and help achieve better results.

"Great idea," Bong-Cha exclaimed, hopping up from the floor. "Me first?"

"Sure," you said, satisfied with the response. You glanced at Jungkook, "We'll just be a minute and then I'll do you - do your shots I mean." You felt your cheeks get hot but then felt Bong-Cha's presence by your side.

"The flowers over there are pretty. Would that work?" She suggested.

You sighed in relief after finally hearing one suggestion or preference.

"That'd be perfect."

You bother wandered over and she got in position in front of a beautiful white flower bush.

Bong-Cha got her footing correct and instantly got in the zone. She was a complete natural alone. She knew a lot of poses, her hands were all over her face and body. She did every pose to accentuate her curves and she looked stunning.

"Are you a model, madam?" You asked, genuinely curious.

She chuckled lightly. "Yes I am, well on the side. Hopefully I can do it professionally eventually. It's funny you can tell."

"It's very clear, you're beautiful and have all the poses down. I've got tonnes of great shots here, would you be willing to try out some fun poses with your fiancé?" You asked, putting the camera away.

Her smile faded a little, but she was still glowing. "I'll try, our chemistry isn't exactly - powerful. But we'll give it a good go."

You were extremely confused - chemistry isn't powerful? Why on earth were they engaged?

None of your business, you thought and walked back to the tree with Bong-Cha. Jungkook was laying on the tree trunk, as if deep in thought.

He jumped slightly at the sound of your voice. "Sir, are you ready for individual photos?"

He nodded and stood up. You forgot how tall he was, and he grew even taller as he got closer. This couple was ridiculously good looking, you hoped you'd be able to capture the beauty. Although they'd both look amazing in the worst quality camera and darkest room.

"Any suggestions on a location?" You asked.

He paused for a second before answering, "On the bench?" He nodded towards the nearest seat.

You sighed happily at how the background was the same flowers from Bong-Cha's shots, so they would match very well. "Great choice."

He smiled at you and you made your way to the bench.

When you arrived he sat down and made himself comfortable.

"Shall we begin with some full body pictures and then do some close ups?" You suggested.

He nodded and relaxed by putting his arm up and resting it on the back of the bench. You could clearly see his tattoos now. There were some words draped around beautiful drawings and everything tied together perfectly. It was a masterpiece.

You crouched down a little which showed off his sharp jawline. He glanced into the distance, much more relaxed than previously.

"You guys aren't beginners at all, are you also a model?"

He threw his head back and laughed warmly at this comment. "No, I'm a businessman, modelling would make my ego skyrocket too far."

You chuckled at his words and moved for the closer shots. Each crevice if his face glistened in the camera screen. His arms collected in his lap as adjusted himself.

"Do you mind looking into the lens please?" You knelt down to be eye level with him and focused the lens. You saw his stare in the camera screen and noticed your face start to blush again. You snapped the photos as quick at possible and prayed there was a good one. If there wasn't, you would be extremely shocked.

You caught him looking at your pink cheeks and he looked a little confused and embarrassed. "Was that okay?"

"That was great. If you and your fiancée are as relaxed as you were individually, we'll have some great photos," you said, standing back on your feet.

"Yeah, sorry if we're being awkward to work with. We're trying to get along and taking some fast pictures shouldn't be too hard," Jungkook muttered the last part, rubbing his palm against the back of his neck.

You pretended you didn't hear the last sentence, not wanting to get involved in any personal drama.

"Don't worry, I've had my fair share of uncomfortable customers!" You joked.

"I'd be surprised if you'd worked with any arranged marriage couples before!" Jungkook laughed, standing up from his seat.

"Sorry?" You asked, turning your head to completely look at him. What did he say? Was he making some kind of joke?

"Arranged marriage? - Did Bong-Cha not tell you over the phone?" He paused, looking at your face. He saw your visible confusion. "Oh, I guess she didn't tell you. Our parents are making us get married, for the business." Jungkook spoke so casually and rustled through his hair. "Shall we get the next pictures over and down with?"
