"why are people looking at us?" i asked him once we arrived at our destination.

well, it actually wasn't a big deal. i mean of course it wasn't the first time we got stared at. but as it got too much, i began to feel so uncomfortable with people's glare at us as they whispered or chuckled. 

"they could be jealous because they can't wear match shirts like us?"

he was right and how could i be so dumb not to realize it. we were currently walking down the chillva market, in this couple look cat me shirt, only in different color; new wore the pink and i got the white. and it caused us to have all eyes of the people passing by on us. i had no idea why, they could be die-hard polcas? i wasn't sure.

don't get it wrong. i wasn't complaining, at all. instead, this just showed that new was actually a really well-prepared and sweet guy. and it was so cute to the point that i couldn't hide my smile. i was indeed so suck at hiding my emotion.

"what are you gonna buy actually? we're coming in the wrong place if you look for foods," i explained.

my eyes moved left to right, examining the market. it was bustling with people promoting the souvenirs their stalls sold. but i didn't see any food stall at all because based on what i knew it was in different block of the market.

"shirts? since we bring no clothes here," he hummed for a while. "or maybe cool places to take pictures at?"

before i could even replied to what he said, all of a sudden be grabbed me by the wrist. he took me running to one of the corner of a souvenir shops.

"take a pict of me now, tay." he smiled adorably at me after he managed to find the right angle for the picture.

i snorted. "why are you this excited? as if it's your first." i pulled my phone out of my pocket. well because i didn't bring my camera with me and it sucks.

he started to smile adorably at the camera. i swore it was so contagious that my smile was growing without me realizing. he naturally moved his body side to side with me who continuously followed the rhythm of his body movements. that was it, he and his surroundings became a whole flawless unity.

taking photos of various objects was indeed one of the things i loved to do the most. the reason was simple; i thought some special occasion wouldn't happen twice, so i needed to take pictures of them. but afterwards, sometimes i forget about the photo i took. and it caused my friends ridiculously urged me, asking for their picture.

but new was obviously more than that. he was my favorite object and every moment with him was the most precious time i had ever been through. i felt the need to freeze every moment in a frame to stay like that, because then i could stared at at him in admiration through the photos i took when we couldn't meet and i secretly missed him.
