I spent just a few hours of editing the pictures that night. I went to bed early that night so I could get ready for another day with Jongsuk tomorrow.

I am woken up the next morning to knocking on my studio door. I roll out of bed and sit on the edge. Who could be here this early? I stand up and walk out of my apartment, still in my pajamas. I unlock my studio door and open it. When I open the door it reveals Jongsuk's manager and standing behind him is Jongsuk himself.

I look at Jongsuk and my heart almost jumps out of my chest. Why are they here so early? I glance down at myself and almost sigh. I'm still in my pajamas. How professional.

"What brings you here so early?" I ask them. His manager eyes me before replying.

"It is time for his shoot today." He tells me and I nod slowly.

"Oh." I reply.

"I will be back in a few hours." He says and leaves Jongsuk alone with me. I slowly look up at Jongsuk and he's looking down at me smiling.

"Nice outfit." He says and smirks.

"I didn't realize we were doing this so early." I tell him.

"Yeah I'm sorry about this. He's the one who has control over all that." Jongsuk says and glances down the hall.

"It's okay. Come in." I say and move away from the doorway. Jongsuk comes inside and stops in front of me.

"Do you want to come into my apartment? I still have to get ready." I ask him. He nods.

"Sure I'll come in." He replies. I lead the way into my apartment and point to my couch.

"You can sit there." I tell him. I go into my room to get dressed. I put on skinny jeans and a pink crop top. I fix my hair and then go back out to Jongsuk. He watches me as I go to my small kitchen.

"Have you ate?" I ask and look behind me at him. I catch him looking at my body. My heart jumps a little as we make eye contact.

"Yes I have." He says. I turn back around and make myself some breakfast. I eat it after I'm done making my food. I turn to look at him and he's still watching me.

"I'm going to go edit your pictures from yesterday." I tell him. He stands up.

"Are we shooting today?" He asks me. I look up at him and start walking past him to my studio.

"If you want to shoot some today we can. It's up to you." I tell him. He follows me into my studio.

"It would be fun if we did." I hear him say. I glance at him and our eyes find each other. I look away and sit down at my computer to start editing. Jongsuk sits right next to me and looks at the pictures I took of him yesterday.

"You're really talented." He says and then turns his head to look at me. I turn my head too and I realize how close our faces are to each other. My heart stops.

"Thank you." I reply before looking down at his lips. They are plump and perfect. Kissable. I turn my head quickly to look at my computer. I can see that Jongsuk is smirking. I focus on the pictures in front of me. He watches me work for a little bit and then stands up. He goes over to my camera.

"Can I use this?" He asks me. I glance at him before nodding.

"I don't care." I reply. Jongsuk smiles and picks it up. He turns it on and starts pointing it in my direction. I watch him and start smiling as I notice him taking pictures.

"My perfect photographer." He says softly. Jongsuk looks over my camera at me and our eyes lock.

"I'm far from perfect." I tell him. He sets the camera down slowly and comes to sit with me again.

"You've shown me otherwise." He replies. We look at each other silently.

"You don't even know me yet." I say. He suddenly puts his face closer to mine.

"Then let's get to know each other." He says and bites his lip. I glance at his lips for the second time today. He is driving me crazy and I like it.

"Okay." I reply and he smiles.

"How long have you been doing this?" Jongsuk asks me.

"About five years now." I tell him.

"You're very good at it." He says. I smile this time.

"Thank you." I reply.

"Where are you from?" He asks.

"America. I came here five years ago to start this business." I say and he nods. Jongsuk glances away from me and locks eyes with me again. He bites his lip again.

"Are you seeing anybody?" He asks.

"I'm not. Are you?" I ask him. He pauses and starts to smirk.

"I might be." He replies with a wink. My heart skips a beat and my stomach flutters. Jongsuk stands up. "Come on let's shoot something." I shake myself of this feeling before standing up too.

"Okay. You can pick what we do today." I tell him. He glances back at me while going over to the rack of clothes.

"Perfect." He says before turning his attention to the clothes. He picks out a light pink crew neck sweatshirt. Jongsuk slides off the shirt he's wearing and throws it onto the floor. I admire his chest as he changes. I notice there are some spots on his chest where it looks like bruising. He covers it up with the sweatshirt and I pay attention to my camera. Jongsuk finds a spot to start and we start the photo shoot. He is such a natural with this stuff. He looks so good no matter what he does.

Jongsuk lifts the collar of the sweatshirt and grips it with his teeth. My eyes stray and find his lips again. I want to feel and taste those lips.
