In Front Of You - Jikook

-seven-

The tapping of the keys echoed in Jungkook's quiet room. The bright yellow lamp cast shadows of the magazines and equipment scattered around the floor. Jungkook's eyes scanned the fluorescent screen of his laptop with satisfaction. After weeks of hard work around the cafe, people seem to respond to his work with more appreciation. His earlier works are full of city lights, busy streets and beautiful posed models, it was his theme. Of course, taking pictures of the cafe and the peaceful area was different but somehow the photographer didn't regret the sudden change. His fans and followers seem to love the change, he was proud of it.

The bright photos radiated with light and feathery aura. People could imagine the smell of the caffeine and the baked dishes just by looking at each one. He also had a couple of casual models but unlike before, they seem more genuine and real. He could see the smiles and the steam of the hot beverages, recalling the warm and homely environment he learns to adore. Heavenly Cream is a special place for him and he's really happy that he could share it with many others.

Jimin stared at the dim light of his phone. Scrolling through his feed, the familiar tables and ceiling lights came into view. He twisted his body to the left, hugging the spare pillow between his legs. The couple from the other day was staring dreamily at each other's eyes, the background was blurred and the whole focus was on the two lovers and their drinks.

Jimin has always been astounded by the photos taken by his friend. They all hold their own life and stories in them, drawing you in.He hasn't seen the cafe in this way. It has always been bright and just like the usual coffee shop. Maybe the barista just sees it like this because he has seen it grow, he was there when it was first opened after all. But in the photos, he could finally see the ethereal and aesthetic feeling his customers tell him about. He could finally see the heaven-like cafe through Jungkook's lens.

An idea struck him. He has always wanted to show Jungkook around. Although they're together everyday, Heavenly Cream was the only place he could only spend time with the other. He wanted him to spend time with the brunette, so he opened his contacts and clicked on a new number, one that he hasn't called before.

His phone rang, vibrating under the sheets of his bed. It startled Jungkook, pulling him out of his concentration for his work. He looked at the screen and a soft breath slipped out of his lips. His close friend's name was displayed on the screen, surprising him for calling him at this ungodly hour. The brunette shook his head to himself, his brown waves subtly brushing his eyelashes as he answered the call.

"Jungkook-ah" A husky voice rang in his ears, it sent shivers down his spine. It was definitely Jimin but somehow his voice sounds different, deeper and manlier. "Annyeong Jimin-hyung." He answered, almost closing his laptop. "Why are you still awake?" The other asked, genuinely curious. "Should I be asking you that?" A playful tone curled on Jungkook's voice, it came out of nowhere considering he never really was comfortable talking over the phone but he never really was even face-to-face - before Jimin of course. Jimin chuckled in the other line "Too early to sleep.". The photographer glanced at his wall clock and raised an eyebrow "4:21 a.m.? That's early?". "I don't know, it feels early to me." Jimin's replied. Jungkook could hear his smile through the call, it made him smile as well.

Tiredly climbing into his bed, the younger asked: "Why'd you call me?". A light sound of shuffling could be heard but Jimin's voice returned "I was wondering if you..." he trailed off. The younger turned off his lamp and his figure sank into his comfortable mattress "If I...?". "If we...could go somewhere. L-like for your picture-taking! Yeah, I could show you around.". Jimin stuttered, the struggle was obvious. The younger put his hand underneath his head, beaming to himself. He was excited and pleased that his hyung asked him to explore Busan with him, "Sure. When?". Jimin chuckled and Jungkook joined in, unable to hide his excitement "Tomorrow, I mean later: 10 a.m., I guess. We should meet up at the cafe in the morning.".
