The second thing I love about this world is pictures.

Pictures are magical. They can express a thousand words. And these words can make you feel something. Pictures keep memories that will eventually be forgotten by the one in the picture. Or in my case, taking the picture. That's why I think they are the best way to remind yourself of how beautiful times have been and that a single moment should be treasured.

Does that make any sense?

Well, I don't think my classmates understand me either but at least they were able to grasp that I love taking pictures. That's why I'm here at our reunion as the official photographer. Though taking pictures is just a hobby for me since I have another professional work that's completely unrelated, they say that I have a thing for beauty and that I know the perfect time to click.

It was a honed-expertise, actually, having been doing it for three years in high school. But they don't know about that.

I've been walking around all morning, greeting my co-alumni and snapping some photos to commemorate this reunion. I'm pretty tired and hungry so I decide to go to the buffet. There's a short line composed of familiar faces so I let myself follow.

The man in front of me looks back, maybe because he sensed some movements. We both gasp when we recognize each other.

"Jinyoung!" I greet him happily and we hug.

We were very close during high school and he's the only one who knows why I'm great at taking pictures. He's with me on my escapades. We got separated at college since he's taking some business course in the city while I stay here at our little hometown.

"You look great!" I complimented his casual outfit. In the past, I always tease his fashion sense. I guess the city changed his style.

"And you still look the same," he ruffles my hair, like what he used to do just because he's taller than me.

I playfully slap his hand away. "Did you just arrive? I've been going around but I didn't see you."

"Yeah, I did. I rode with Jaebum-hyung and he had something to get from his studio so we went there first."

I try to calm down but as soon as he said the name, my head spun like crazy. Jaebum. Im Jaebum. He's the reason why I think deeply about pictures. He's my first love. And he's here.

"You actually still like him until now?!"

I do my best to reach Jinyoung's mouth and cover it. "Why are you saying it aloud?! He's somewhere here!"

He pushes my hand away. "Yeah. He's right there eating."

I stop breathing when I see where he's pointing. By the corner sits the subject of my very first photographs. He definitely changed but God, he still makes me feel nervous. How can he be so beautiful? He can be staring at nothing and I will watch him adoringly. Now he's eating some chicken wings and I've never seen someone look this happy just by that. He's picture perfect.

"That's creepy!"

My head snaps at Jinyoung. "What?"

"You're like a stalker!" he points at my hand. Turns out, I instinctively put up my camera to take a picture of Jaebum!

"I was going to take a picture of everyone," I reason uselessly. Jinyoung is already giving me a judging look so I sigh. "Fine. I'm diseased."

"That's because you don't make a move to make it normal. If you try to be friends with him, it would be perfectly normal to take his pictures out of nowhere for, let's say blackmailing purposes in the future."
