book two ❧ [ii]

"You look very cute," Jisung complimented you as you readjusted your outfit, poking the tip of your nose for good measure.

"Thank you," you responded quietly, conscious of the other people nearby.

Content with your clothes, you looked around for the right person, and happened to spot a girl around your age standing further back and admiring the view as well. You and Jisung were at a riverside park that afforded a nice view of the city skyline across the water. The kitchen cabinet knobs were the easiest for you to carry about in your day-to-day life, and you found that two would usually cover Jisung for a full day out pretty well. You'd had one of the starbursts turned into a ring and another into a pendant that hung from a matching silver chain. The other six stayed in one of your tote bags in case you had something longer planned.

Approaching the girl with your phone in hand and already open to the camera, you offered a friendly smile. "Hi, I'm sorry to bother you, but would you mind taking a picture of me?"

"Oh, sure!" She agreed, taking your phone from you.

Moving back to the railing, you posed as if you were any other visitor, resting an arm on the handrail as you smiled for the camera. Jisung took his usual cue, stepping into your side and wrapping an arm around your shoulders. He did his best to jostle and move you as little as possible, assimilating to your position instead. The girl did a countdown before she took a few photos, and you made sure to make them each a little different, smiling, peace sign, poking your cheek. As always, Jisung did each changing pose with you.

After a few, you relaxed back out of your pose. "Thank you so much!"

"Here, look at them and make sure they're good," she said, handing your phone back. "I think something might be wrong with your camera, there's this blur or something in the previews. It wasn't showing up when I was shooting, but as soon as I took a picture, it was there."

You took your phone back, looking at your pictures at an angle that she couldn't see. And sure enough, Jisung was in all of them, hazy apparition and all.

"These are great, thank you!" You told her brightly, clicking your phone off.

She didn't seem that invested in your strange phone camera phenomenon that was occurring, so she just gave you a skeptical look before shrugging. "Of course. Have a good day."

"You too."

Closing the front door behind you, you then stepped out of your shoes before heading for your living room. You were still wrapping your brain around this really being your home now. You flopped down onto the couch, Jisung beside you, and pulled your phone out to review the pictures from earlier.

"What do you think, Sungie?" You hummed, scrolling through your camera roll.

He scooted in closer to you, wrapping an arm around your shoulders and using that hand to switch between the pictures himself. He clicked his tongue contemplatively, zooming in on his "head" in one of the photos.

"Can you tell I'm winking?" He asked, squinting at the screen.

You giggled. "Not quite."

"I like the first one and this one."

"Me too." You started doing a little bit of color balancing to the pictures.

"Are you hungry, baby? You didn't get anything while we were out."

"Oh, sure," you replied absentmindedly.

"I'll get you something to eat." Jisung kissed the top of your head before standing up, and you heard his footsteps recede into the kitchen.
