after my short dismissal from work, i continued doing my tasks as usual. for no longer than a week, i accompanied namjoon to busan for a recent project we had planned a few months before.
despite namjoon and i bickering throughout the entire trip, busan was truly a dream. it was a restless city thriving in the essence of pretty lights and i even saw the hospital my hoe of a sister got fired from.
the only aspect that made me want to go back home was just the endless cycle of having to walk around with namjoon for hours and having to aimlessly take pictures of whatever he thought made him look good. i mean he really took a picture with a leaf over his face because it had a 'nature aesthetic' vibe (not that i'm complaining, the leaf had bird poop on it).
none the less, i could not deny that some rare moments with namjoon would somehow be sweet ?? namjoon would talk about bangtan and how he was generally happy about anything related to do with his boys. it was nice to hear things like that rather than how great a cooking concept looked for his next little mini photoshoot.
"so are the rest of bangtan as good as they look on tv?"
"you could say that. you like us?" namjoon's eyes immediately lit up.
"i like you guys. your music is artistic, the dancing is great, dedication is great, visuals are great but you're just annoying. i really wish taehyung needed a personal photographer."
namjoon stopped in his tracks and managed a scoff along with a middle finger before he continued walking. i could not have been more honest since i've always lowkey wanted to cuddle taehyung and feed him fries every night.
i laughed at my thoughts and followed behind namjoon to a park area where he mentioned that he wanted to take pictures.
i had already taken a mass amount of pictures of namjoon so coming here was only time consuming. usually out of the 25 pictures i took, only a maximum of 3 would get uploaded so this was wasting all the free time i had in busan which was promised in the contract.
"what would look aesthetic?" i rolled my eyes as namjoon mumbled the same question for what felt like the tenth time.
he eventually came up with an idea which i did not want to par take in what so ever but he threatened to fire me again so that resulted to me basically climbing up a tree for his sake.
apparently, it would look 'super cool' if i climbed on top of a tree and took pictures of namjoon from a different perspective while he just sat on the floor. obviously, he just wanted to show off his new hair colour which had recently been dyed blonde.
after taking a few snaps and me falling of a tree, we took a short break on the park bench. i sat quietly, drinking my lemon tea and sighing at the hello kitty plaster namjoon had put on my scar from my pitiful fall whilst namjoon looked at the previous shots on my camera.
"what the heck?" namjoon snorted, laughing at a picture on my camera, "are you trying to be aesthetic or shit? you look ugly LOL."
i widened my eyes and groaned in embarrassment as i noticed what picture he was laughing at. in my defence, the picture wasn't even that bad but just watching namjoon's expression when he saw it made me cringe too.
it was an absolute pain taking the picture as i had to run back to pose after the timer went off but it was simply just a picture of my body frame looking out into the sunset. the sunset was mixed with accents of faint azure and it was too captivating not to take a picture of and my face wasn't even in the picture so it was completely a dickhead move to call me ugly.
"it's still more aesthetic than you'll ever be. don't even make me remind you that i had to buy you baby wipes today so you could wipe off bird poop from your face just because you thought it would be cool to put a leaf on your face."
"shut up you egg. anyways i'll take the camera back to my hotel room today. there's this one shot i wanna post ."
once we resided back to our hotel, i quickly rushed into my hotel room before namjoon made me run anymore errands.
i took my time to wash up before getting into bed with my phone grasped in one hand. within a few minutes of me laying in bed, my phone began to vibrate alerting me of namjoon's new post. i eagerly unlocked my phone, wanting to see what masterpiece that i'd taken would be on his feed.
once i unlocked my phone, i immediately widened my eyes upon seeing an awfully familiar picture. it was the same picture he had seen of me a few hours ago. contemplating on what was going on, i resided to thinking he'd accidentally posted my picture.
i groaned at how stupid he was but stopped to read the caption.
he captioned it- busan's most beautiful aesthetic.
