Luna stood next to Yumi, subtly cowering away from the scene in front of her.
Her and Yumi along with other members were in the club's studio room, along with the giant shallow aquarium, which reached Luna's knees, in the middle of the room.
Studio lights flashed from every corner and angle and the blue hue of the aquarium fell on the room.
Joy was standing next to it arguing with Yohan that he had to be shirtless when he went inside the water for the pictures.
And Yohan retaliated with the fact that it was the start of November, he could get hypothermia.
"The water isn't THAT cold, and a little cold will be good for the restrained and struck expressions you are supposed to show anyway." Joy spoke again in all caps.
Yohan folded his arms, still not convinced.
"Okay, we'll do your dare for the bucket list photo book first, your way." She offered.
Yohan smirked and swiftly took off his sweat shirt.
Luna's eyes widened and she looked down,
"You're gonna have to try and not be such a prude because our next concept will be underwear." Joy said, walking up to her.
"What, I cant just blatantly stare at him half naked."
"What if it were Haemin?" Joy suggested slyly.
Luna tried hard to suppress the smile playing on her lips, and pushed back the heavenly images of a half naked Haemin forming in her mind.
Joy laughed and pushed her slightly,
"Speaking of Haemin, I had to inform you that Haemin is the one who asked me to add you to the club, I mean I would've anyway but I was so busy with the photo book preparations that it didnt cross my mind and then suddenly Haemin asked me to."
"Oh." Luna said, surprised.
" I know right. He's trying a lot for you. I mean, he's friendly with everyone but with you.. he puts in extra effort, he goes all out for you." Joy stated, "Haemin never disobeys his parents and for you, he missed their calls for a whole day, your uncle was enraged and kept hounding uncle Kijun to call Haemin and ask him to bring you back. But Haemin totally ignored him."
Both of them processed this information.
Was it really possible that Haemin already liked Luna? Maybe a little bit?
Was it possible that her romance may be a two sided love soon?
She was anxious to know.
When it came to Haemin, she let her whole heart be bet. She wasn't careful, she let herself have hope, something she unconsciously forbid herself from a long time ago.
"What if one of these fish bites my nipple, thinking its fish food?" Yohan inquired.
Joy rolled her eyes, "They're not carnivorous, now get it."
He took a deep breath and stepped in.
"Cameras ready." She announced.
"Wait, wait, wait." Haemin came rushing in and bent over, panting heavily.
"Hurry up." Joy scolded him, Yohan still was standing in water and the weather wasn't favorable.
After he caught his breath he turned on his camera and everyone raised there's as well.
Luna noticed that Haemin was still breathing irregularly,
"Now, lie down." Joy instructed Yohan and he obliged slowly.
Luna started taking pictures with her phone along with everyone else as soon as Yohan was in.
Some of them even got on their knees with their camera lenses shoved to the aquarium glass, snapping away at the vivid and attractive sight of the boy with exquisite fish swimming around him.
He came up for air and went back in the next second.
After Luna had about two or three good shots, she stood up while everyone was still working and went to the lounge room.
She came back with a glass of water and gave it to Haemin after the shoot was over and Yohan was out of the water.
Haemin accepted it with a flowery smile,
Two of the club members who were clearly dazzled by Yohan, brought him towels.
He was shivering visibly.
"The weather changed quite rapidly this year," Haemin spoke, "Or else Joy would've ordered an aquarium with a heater installed."
"I cant believe he caved though, the bucket list thing that Joy offered him must've been important."
"Oh that, yeah that's a huge deal here. You see every semester, our club Sajinsul sells a photo book, with a new concept each time. And they always sell insanely well, like a year back, Sajinsul even had an exhibition. And this semester the preorders are above fifteen hundred already."
Luna raised her eyebrows, "Wow, no wonder Joy is so serious about this stuff."
Haemin nodded, "She's always had a thing for cameras and photography, maybe because my aunt took her for diaper commercials and baby wear shoots, she grew acquainted with the camera eye. And she started photography herself in high school."
"She's so cool." Luna said earnestly, "I'd date her if I were a guy."
Haemin chuckled, "If only she went for good guys, sadly shes too into bad boys."
Im not a good guy though, good guys cant kill people, Luna replied in her mind.
"What's the concept for the photo book this semester?"
"Its gonna be different shoots of each member's most radical wish on their bucket list."
"Sounds exciting."
"Oh yeah, that means you have to have a wish prepared as well, one that can be captured."
"That might not be necessary, if I kick her out for being a lousy photographer." Joy intervened.
"What are you talking about?" Haemin asked.
"Luna, if taking care of your boyfriend is more important than the club, I suggest you leave." Joy said and Luna, much to her relief detected the playfulness in her voice.
"There you go again, I already have a girlfriend!" Haemin insisted.
Luna sighed, if only he'd stop saying that all the time.
"And she was just bringing me water for God's sake."
Joy had told Luna that mentioning or rather "dangling" the idea of her and Haemin dating, in front of him would make him gradually get affiliated with it.
Joy ignored him, "Luna, you need to keep taking pictures as long as the scene is ongoing or the model is posing, or else you may miss something." Joy told her seriously.
"Oh okay, Ill be more careful next time."
"And you," Joy directed at Haemin, "Where were you? Its unlike you to be late."
"Oh yeah," Haemin shoved his hands in his bag and pulled out a flyer, "I was getting this for Luna."
Luna took it, it was a brochure for a pet adoption agency.
"Since, Im the reason you gave Storm away, I figured I should help you get another pet."
Luna gazed lovingly at the adorable puppies and kittens on the page,
When she looked up Joy was giving her a knowing look and before Haemin could catch on she turned to him and said,
"You didn't have to but thank you anyway."
"We could go check it out together before your shift, I know the address."
A fuzzy feeling bloomed inside of Luna at the thought of them adopting a pet together.
"Sorry to ruin your plans but I think you should postpone that to next week, because this weekend we're going to Japan for Yohan's bucket list pictorial." Joy regretfully poured cold water over Luna's silly thought, "You wouldn't want to leave your pet just after one day would you?"
"Japan? Wow, this stuff is going to be global?"
Haemin nodded eagerly, "Last semester we spent a whole week in London for 'The Royals' pictorial."
Luna perked up in excitement over the fact that she was going to be with Haemin for a whole weekend, the only thing left now was to get permission from her uncle.
