To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.

Octorber 15th, Courtyard, SKY University, 4:45 pm, present.

It was the strangest autumn for time out of mind. The trees remained clothed in green until the middle of October and then all of a sudden were a riot of colour. It was as if the season jumped into the park instead of fading in as it usually would, and was all the more magnificent for doing so.

A single golden leaf piroutted down an invisible spiral of breeze, spinning through the air as it let itself be carried down. It shook slightly, as if it could have been whisked away any second by the grip of an icy wind, but it kept floating down the twirling course. It blew past Jihyun's camera, the lense breaking the silent atmosphere with a shutter click! and landed lightly on the ground.

The turquoise-haired young man smiled satisfyingly to himself as he took a quick look at the perfect shot he just made on his prized camera. He was sitting on a picnic table surrounded by his close friends, each of them occupied with their own afternoon activities. It was the group's usual afternoon routine, gathering together after school hours in the courtyard and discussed about everything and nothing.

This secluded spot under the biggest tree on school grounds had become their own gathering place ever since they formed a very unique lot. On the ground around where the group of friends sat, caramel leaves tumbled to life by brisk autumnal notes that roused them from slumber, requesting a last wistful dance before a wintry embrace would claim them.

A loud and remarkable yawn escaped from a certain red head's mouth as he threw his head back in an exhausted manner after looking at his phone for who knew many hours straight. His gold honey hues slowly glanced at Jihyun who was sitting across the table through his thick yellow and grey striped glasses.

"Oi V hyung, why do you always bring that camera everywhere you go? An taking random pics at random times too..."

V, or rather, Jihyun chuckled playfully. The letter V was a pseudonym that his friends always called him which was equivalent to a nickname.

"I don't take random pictures, Saeyoung-ah. I like to capture beautiful things that people notice rarely," He replied with a kind smile. "And I always keep it with me because it's my favourite hobby to take photos to add to my collection."

"You have weird tastes." Saeyoung deadpanned. He would never understand why his hyung loves photography so much. Although, there was always some sort of sorrow that glinted in those turquoise eyes everytime they talk about anything related to "beautiful". Saeyoung was never the one to pry secrets out of people, since he had his fair share of them, but his natural curiosity didn't stop him from always wondering.

Sitting next to Saeyoung was another red head that resembled him identically, except for he wore contact lenses that changed his original gold irises to a mint greeny-blue colour. He shot Saeyoung a neutral yet mocking glance as he spoke up coldly, his voice carrying a slight feminine tone as he looked up from the book he was reading.

"V hyung has weird taste? Says the one who creates robot toys that breathe fire to play pranks on people."

"What?! Saeran-ah, how could you say that to your own twin brother?" Saeyoung clutched his shirt and gasped in mock offense, causing laughter coming from a handsome albino and a cute, innocent-looking blond.
