‘Such a beautiful day!’ Taeyeon thought as she woke up, opening her eyes to a warm ray of sparkling sunlight hitting her face through the peek in between the curtains. ‘Hmm.. Good day to go photographing.’
Taeyeon was a high school student that was completely devoted to photography. Every single picture Taeyeon took was stunning, beautiful.
The short photographer walked out of the complex and towards the park with her camera bag hanging over her shoulder. Along the way she saw a vibrant coloured bird and decided to take out her camera and take a picture of the small animal. With a flash and a snap, Taeyeon captured an amazing image of the blue jay. She looked at the screen with a proud smile and a nod.
“Not bad, Kim. Not bad.”
She walked down the gravel path, snapping pictures of animals and sceneries once in awhile. The girl finally reached the park after 15 minutes of walking.
She walked over to the small, clear pond by the side of the area and started to take pictures of the crystal clear water and the animals that spanned the wet grass. She took a picture of the brownish duck and kneeled down to the yellow-beaked fellow.
“Hey duckie.” Taeyeon spoke to the duck. ‘Haha, so cute!’ The duck ignored Taeyeon, as it didn’t understand a word she spoke to it, but Taeyeon continued to speak to it.
“Do you think I can do it? Do you think I can become a professional photographer?” She asked. The duck let out a loud quack.
“That’s a yes, right? Hehe.” Taeyeon laughed and stared at the duck waddling around. The duck walked further and further, and Taeyeon decided to get up.
Being the forgetful girl she was, Taeyeon left her camera on the green grass.
Taeyeon spent the last two hours staring at clouds on a grassy hill. Though there were many clouds, that formed many shapes, all Taeyeon could see was hearts. She laughed. “When am I ever going to find you?”
Flashback
2 years previous to that day, Taeyeon was walking along the warm sandy beach filled with a couple hundred people, maybe even less. She was taking pictures of the beautiful scenery. Waves that carried sand-castle ruining waters. Birds that stole whatever food they could. Even a person that Taeyeon thought was beautiful.
Taeyeon eyed the beauty from afar, admiring every part of her. From that beautiful smile of her’s, to the girl’s wonderful, plump . ‘Pretty, cute, and y, all at the same time. Perfect.’ Taeyeon’s thoughts were clouding her head as she couldn’t even take a second to blink, still staring at the slim lady in the pink tank.
Taeyeon got up and walked to the girl sitting on the beach towel, extending a hand.
“Hi, I’m Taeyeon. What’s your name?” A soft smile involuntarily found it’s way onto Taeyeon’s face.
“Hi, I’m Tiffany.” A giggle tangled into her response. Tiffany put her hand into Taeyeon’s, and they shared a handshake.
“Sit down.” That warm smile Tiffany always shone, had appeared, welcoming her new friend. Taeyeon sat down on the sand and crossed her legs, still smiling, mesmerized by the eye smiling angel.
“What brings you to talk to me?” Tiffany continued the conversation with the question she was waiting to ask.
“Um.. Heh, it just felt right. I kept staring at you uncontrollably, it’s probably a sign.” Taeyeon told truth.
Tiffany nodded, “Tell me about yourself, Taeyeon.”
“I’m 16, and I love taking photos. I gonna grow up to be a professional photographer, you know, for models and stuff.”
Tiffany paid attention to her well, “So you take pictures of models a lot?”
“Well not really.. I would like to, but I have no models.”
“Can I be your model?” Tiffany always wanted to imitate the girls in the magazines, but had no one that could take a good picture for her. Taking pictures of herself in the mirror wasn’t fun enough.
“Hmm.. Of course!” Taeyeon got up grabbing her camera, Tiffany followed.
They walked to the sand near the water together, small talking with eachother. After a minute or two of walking, they’ve reached their destination.
“Ok.. Now just do whatever feels natural. But make sure to keep the beautiful eye smile of yours on your face at ALL TIMES. Go.” Taeyeon snapped three or four picture of the girl before her dad called.
“Taeyeon, Taeyeon!” He waved his hands up in the sky. “Time to go sweetheart!”
Both Taeyeon and Tiffany looked into the direction of the man calling from about 30 metres away. “Your boyfriend?” Taeyeon let out a chuckle. “My dad. JUST LET ME GET MY STUFF, BE RIGHT THERE!!” She yelled back at him. “Ok, hurry!”
Taeyeon and Tiffany walked back to their meeting point. Taeyeon gathered her stuff and Tiffany just stood behind her. Taeyeon finished gathering her stuff and turned around to say goodbye to the new friend she made today.
“Nice meeting you Tiffany. You were a good model, thanks for the pictures.” She grabbed Tiffany’s hand and shook it. She started to walk.
“Wait, give me your phone number.. So I can send the pictures to you.” Tiffany agreed so Taeyeon took her phone out from her pocket, but it ran out of battery.
“Aw, no battery. Here just write it on this piece of paper.” She grabbed a paper and pen from her camera bag handing it to Tiffany, Tiffany wrote her number on the paper and handed it back to Taeyeon.
“Bye Taeyeon.” She showed Taeyeon her eye smile.
“Bye.” Taeyeon put the paper in her bag as she walked away, and being the forgetful idiot she was, she forgot to zip her bag up. The paper flew away with the wind and into the water as Taeyeon ran toward her dad’s car. Stupid, stupid girl.
End of flashback.
