Warnings: lots of dialogue, very long. I'm sorry if the POVs are confusing :((

taehyung pov

part of the reason i wanted to take photos of mina is because i wanted to see what she feels about my job. her opinion on it. i don't want to her to be annoyed by my photography if we stay friends or become something more. i want her to be comfortable with what i do and i want her to be proud.

i've only known her for a short time but i just want to see. this is a good first date.

documenting adventures or activities in the moment is so precious to me. i love remembering happy memories, sad memories, bitter-sweet memories. that's what life is about, and photography is my life.

also, she's just very beautiful. i want pictures of her in my portfolio of works. only if she lets me.

"wait i have an idea!" mina jumped in excitement. that was super cute.

"what is your idea?" i looked at her, interested.

"if you're taking pictures of me... can i take some pictures of you?" she smiled, with hope in her eyes. practically begging me. i don't think i can say no to that.

"me? why me? i'm not model readyyy!" i whined, hiding my face.

"yes you! what do you mean you're not model ready? you're so handsome i'm surprised you're not a model yourself." i'm flattered. she just called me handsome.

"hmmm fine. i guess so. you're still more of a model than i am though." i glanced at her and winked.

mina scoffed and rolled her eyes, but smiling. "whatever."

*****************

mina told me she was feeling steak and bubble tea, so that's what i took her to get.

"do you have any social media?" i asked her after we were seated and had ordered our bubble tea. she wanted plum, i got honeydew.

she shrugged. "well i have instagram, to post pictures. i don't see a need for any others. even instagram is kinda toxic if you really want my opinion." mina chuckled.

"woah. never heard that before..." she looked at me, confused.

"i love it!" i responded. mina gave me a slanted grin.

"actually? or are you just saying that?"

"no angel i really mean it, that's awesome."

she scoffed. "angel?"

"what?" i don't know what i said.

"you called me angel." she giggled.

"oh. sorry, it slipped." i looked away, avoiding her eyes.

"noo i like it. its cute." she pat my hand on the table and went back to looking at the menu.

i let out a sigh of relief. "what about you?" she asked, still looking at the menu.

i perked up. "i have instagram too. and twitter. and snapchat. texting apps. you know. but i might be smart like you and get rid of twitter. maybe snapchat. but i only use snapchat with my guy friends and post photos on my story and stuff."

she nodded. "hmm. i see." i waited for her to say something else. "good idea. i'd be so proud of you."

guess i'm going to delete twitter now. i'll work up to snapchat.
