"What does it say?" I ask Hyunjae with anticipation.
This morning our teacher gave us a 'mystery assignment' and we've had to wait until the end of the day for when we work on our projects.
He attempts to peel the tape off of the small box we received.
"Hurry up," I groan. My already low patience is officially out, having to wait all day.
"I'm trying!" Hyunjae says, still struggling.
"Just rip it!!"
"I can't! Don't you think I would if I could?" He asks.
"Oh my god just give it to me!" I grab the box from him and I peel the tape off with ease.
"It's a...camera?" He grabs the small film camera out of the box.
"WOah!" I say.
"Quiet, class," The teacher yells over the noise of all the partners opening boxes. "This camera is for your project only. You are to take a photo of each other in a setting you think represents the other person. By this time you should know each other pretty well and this is a test to perspective, and to see how well you listen to one another."
Hyunjae leans over and whispers, "I know where I'm taking you."
His words sends a shiver down my spine. I internally slap myself for getting excited. This is not supposed to happen. I'm not supposed to fall for him again.
"R-really?" I bite my lower lip after saying that so weakly.
His eyes shine, and there's a cockiness to his smile, like he knows the effect he has on me.
He probably has this effect on everyone.
"What are you thinking of?" Hyunjae asks.
"Huh??" I panic.
"I mean where are you going to take my picture?" He asks.
"Oh..." I think for a second. "Not sure yet, I want to really think about it."
He nods understandingly.
"Reminder everyone!" The teacher yells over the talking. "There are only two pieces of film in these cameras, for budget reasons, so the picture you take is the one you get."
"Oh shit that's a lot of pressure." Hyunjae says.
I begin to chew my lip nervously. Maybe I don't know him as well as I thought, because I have no idea where to take his photo.
The bell rings and everyone stands up. Hyunjae and I separate, as we said we'd do, and I beeline towards Sunwoo.
"God I am just about this close to strangling that kid." He says, his voice low and full of murder.
"Who? Jihun?" I ask.
"Yes Jihun who else??" He says grumpily.
"Okay not my fault you make a lot of enemies." I say.
"He's so unbearable! You should hear the things he says about people, as if he's the king of the world. It fucking pisses me off." He says.
"Do you know where you're going to photograph him?" I ask.
"Yeah. The bridge. so I can tell him to go jump off it."
"Cold blooded killer," I laugh.
"What about you?" Sunwoo asks. "Does Hyunjae want to be pictured shirtless on the beach with a surfboard?"
