  "Hey!"

"What?"
Taehyung said with a laugh,
"This one looks good!"

"I told you to let me know before you take pictures!"

"Sorry, sorry"
he said, laughing a little more
"so now I warn you: make a face!"

The youngest thought for a moment, but then did as he was told:

"You call that a face?"

"You call that a face?"

"What? What do you mean?"
The younger asked, afraid he had done something wrong.

"It does not count as a grimace if you get cute!"
Taehyung replied in a tone of frustration.

"Then you show me a grimace," Jungkook asked.

"There you go"

The younger felt his cheeks warm as he kept his eyes on the older boy's photo

The younger felt his cheeks warm as he kept his eyes on the older boy's photo. 'What is he talking about?' he thought, 'He looks cuter than me!'

"And it's like that," he heard the other's voice, pulling him out of his thoughts "that you make a grimace"

" You're good at it"

"Good? I'm the best on faces!"

"Not this ... well, i mean, at that too, but, I'm saying that you're good at posing for pictures"

Taehyung thought for a moment, then smirked at the younger.

"Am I photogenic?"
He asked, still smiling.

"...Yes?"

"And you like to take pictures of me?" the younger one felt his cheeks even warmer.

"... Y-yes"

".... So, I'm kind of your muse!"

"Wh-what are you saying?!"

The older boy started to laugh "S-Sorry, I love seeing you embarrassed, you look so cute!"

At this point, Jungkook only wanted a place to hide his face, because it was impossible to get more flushed than that.

This was a scenario that was repeated frequently, because, as Taehyung said, he loved to see the younger ashamed because he just thought it was cute.

"Okay, okay,"
said the older, finally stopping to laugh
"What if I'm your model instead, huh? You can take pictures of me anytime."
The older seemed to be serious, so Jungkook took courage and held out his pinky, which was another of their customs.

"P-promise?"

Taehyung accepted the pinkie without a second thought.

"Promise!"

The younger, still embarrassed, tried to change the subject

"Are we still going to the terrace of your house tonight?"

"Of course! The sky is clear, we will have an incredible view of the stars there!"

"I don't know if these cameras can take good pictures of the night sky..." Jungkook said, discouraged.

"Well, that's what we'll find out!"
The older replied, with the greatest of smiles on his face.

This was something that Jungkook adored in his friend, he was not discouraged by the doubt. The "maybe" did not seem to scare him. That was Taehyung: A boy with hope and a smile on his face. He seemed to be always excited and Jungkook could not feel sad about him. This was how he wanted to be: not only more open and lively, but also wanted to be a haven for Taehyung, just as Taehyung was for him.

"Junkookie-ah, what are you laughing at?" Taehyung asked, laughing together

"I think I have the best model in the world, Hyung! And I'm sure I'll get great pictures of you with the starry sky!"
