When, on the next day, the alarm went off, I was already wide awake.

I stretched a bit before getting out of bed.

I had a quick breakfast and then brushed my teeth before getting dressed.

I took my keys and left the house.
I got on my car and drove to the studio. The streets were almost empty, so I got there in time.

I parked my car outside and entered the building.
Stray Kids were already there.

"Good morning, guys" I greeted them with a quick bow

"Good morning" they greeted back

They were all already dressed up for the group shooting.

I was about to get started when I remembered I had left my camera in my office.

"I forgot my camera, I'll go take it real quick and then we can start" I said as I ran to my office

I always leave my camera on top of my desk so that I can see it easily, but when I came inside, it wasn't there.

I started to panic a bit, I looked around but I still couldn't find it.

I began walking up and down, trying to think where it could've possibly been.

"Is everything okay?" Hyunjin asked, knocking on the office's door

"I can't find it"

He entered the office and came closer to me

"Let me help you" he stated "Any idea on where it could be?"

"I always put it on my desk, but it's clearly not there" I explained to him, with a hint of panic in my voice

What he did next was something that I definitely wasn't expecting.

He pulled me into a hug. I was surprised at first but then hugged him back.

"Let's calm down a bit, okay?" He said with a soothing voice "We'll find it, don't worry"

I slowly nodded, my head resting on his shoulder.

"Do you think your assistant might have taken it?" He asked softly

I... didn't think of that

"I'll call him, maybe he knows where it is"

Even though I didn't want to, I had to pulled away from the hug to able to take out my phone.

I opened his contact and pressed the 'call' button.

After a few seconds he picked up.

"Hey, Hanseo" he greeted me

"Hey, Jaehyun" I said, I then glanced at Hyunjin, who was nodding "Do you know where my camera is? I can't find it"

"Oh yeah" he replied, as if he had just remembered something "Yesterday I took it to download the photos on the pc. I left it in your office, it's in the second drawer on the right"

I placed the phone on the desk and opened the drawer. The camera was there, I took it in my hands and held it close to me.

"Hanseo are you still there?" Jaehyun asked, from the other side of the phone

"Yes, yes don't worry. Bye bye" I hung up

How did I not find it? It's probably just because I didn't think I would ever put my camera in a drawer in the first place. I'm too afraid of scratching it.

"Let's start with the shooting, I've already made you wait more than enough" I told Hyunjin

He smiled at me "Don't worry, waiting isn't that much of a problem. I'm glad you found your camera"

"Thanks for the help, Hyuniin" I smiled back "Let's go to the set now, come on"

That said, we left the office and got back to the others at the set.

"What took you so long?" Seungmin asked, curious

"I couldn't find my camera" I replied, scratching the back of my head, slightly embarrassed "But now I found it, so it's fine. I'm sorry that I've kept you waiting. If you're okay with it, we can start"

They all nodded "The wait wasn't a problem at all don't worry"

I chuckled awkwardly "If you say so"

"Anyways, tell us what to do and we can begin shooting" Chan said

"Okay" I started, a serious expression on my face "I'll need you to form two rows: Changbin, Felix, Hyunjin and Lee Know in the back while Bang Chan, Han, Seungmin and I.N will be in the front"

They put themselves as I told them and we instantly began the photoshoot.

We shot in all sorts of poses, with and without props and even with a greenscreen to simulate different backdrops.

When it was about 2 pm, we were finished. We had worked very hard, so every picture I took was potentially eligible to get in their upcoming album's photobook.

They asked me to come with them to ear lunch together but unfortunately I had plans with someone else.

"Oh, I'm sorry" I apologised "I would love too but I already told my friend that I would eat lunch with him"

They all looked a bit sad "Next time then, okay?"

"Sure" I smiled

They smiled back before waving at me while leaving the set.
