"really? can i see?" i asked.

"what?" seungmin looked confused.

"the pictures," i said, confused about why he was confused. "weren't you saying the pictures were pretty?"

"oh, y-yeah, take a look."

"whoa! this looks like some magazine photoshoot!" i exclaimed.

"haha, thanks, but it's because the model is good," he grinned.

"nahh."

we continued to the photoshoot for about another hour until it was time for lunch.

"ah, we're finally done!" seungmin said, giving me a high five.

"that was really fun," i chuckled.

"right? now, shall we go eat lunch?"

"yeah, i'm really hungry. what do you want to eat?

"hm... korean fast food?" he suggested.

"okay, let's go!"

☆☆☆

we arrived at a nearby korean fast food restaurant, and quickly ordered food.

seungmin showed me some more photos while we waited.

"i really hope you get a good grade on this project," i said. "these photos look so cool!"

"heh, thanks."

just then, the waitress walked to our table with the food we ordered.

"wow, it looks so good!" i said, excited to eat.

a while later, i sensed that seungmin was looking at me while i was eating.

i paused, and found him smiling like he usually does, so brightly that it was kind of intimidating.

"...eat," i said, since he wouldn't stop just smiling at me.

we continued eating, and i noticed that he wasn't eating any of the tteokbokki.

"hey, why aren't you eating the tteokbokki?" i asked.

"what do you mean?" seungmin ate one. "i am."

"okay."

soon enough, seungmin kept drinking water and refilled his cup several times.

i laughed. "you're bad at eating spicy food, huh?"

"what? no?" seungmin said, his ears burning red and eyes watering.

i couldn't help but laugh as he tried to act like he was perfectly fine.

"you could've told me, then i wouldn't tell you to eat the tteokbokki!" i laughed.

"no, i can eat spicy food!" he said, stuffing more tteokbokki into his mouth.

"if you say so."

a few moments later, he said, "oh no, we ran out of water!"

i bursted out laughing.

"thanks for the lunch," i said, since seungmin insisted he pay for it. "i'll buy you ice cream, you seem like you need it."

"yes, thank you!" seungmin looked like his tongue was still on fire.

as he cooled down with some strawberry ice cream, i checked the time.
