JORDAN being the last minute decision maker that he is, decided to take a break from being a workaholic and to have some fun in the upcoming nice weather.

“jojo, please get make sure to get the perfect.. what do you call

them..? um…” while walking around with a souvenir refillable cup in

one hand — the other had his phone held up to a view his younger

cousin would able to see via facetime. before his cousin could finish

the sentence, JORDAN responded with the word they had been

thinking of for what seemed a good minute. “fancams?” “yes yes! i

was gonna say that” he heard them suck their teeth on the other end

causing him to let out a low chuckle. he enjoyed his cousin’s phone

company for just a few more minutes before playfully threatening

them to finish studying for their schooling.

just only walking around enjoying the scenery and the drink in his

hand of course, JORDAN couldn’t wait to see what was in store for

the upcoming days.

his eyebrow rose up slowly as he took another glance, playfully squinting in her direction. “if you purposefully take an extremely bad one i could just lie and say its perfect just to mess up your mind on purpose.” a small smirk then appeared across his features before a few chuckles followed behind.

“like it doesn’t even matter the flower either, that’s how perfect taking pictures of flowers are. flowers and the sky views are actually two of my favorite things to take too. literal perfection!” once he ended his sentence, JORDAN then did a chefs kiss gesture.

when asked if the two should create a memory by taking a selfie, he nodded his head while returning her grin, moving some hairs away from his face. “and we definitely should. create a whole bunch of memories.”

JORDAN chuckled again at SUA insinuating that he was lying to her

about her photography skills. “no no, trust me. it’s a ten outta ten.”

he didn’t think he was all that great of a photographer himself, but

he had an eye for talent and was always honest when it came to

something he liked. “now if it was bad, i would’ve had to give you a

couple of real photography lessons.” he jokingly stated.

JORDAN had plenty of ideas brainstormed in his head as to what he

wanted to take pictures of next. but, he just didn’t know where to

begin. he’s always used to taking pictures of nature or anything that’s

around him, but wanted to try something somewhat different. in the

middle of his thoughts, he took a glance back over at SUA to answer

her question, “i think it all depends on my mood. whenever i’m

around family, i have tons of baby cousins just running around. so i

love to take pictures of them just being children and having fun. it’s

usually nice to capture childhood moments like that as it’s

something to come back to when you get older. but, when i’m alone, i

do love taking pictures of any flowers or plants that i’m nearby.”

“music is the divine way to tell beautiful, poetic things to heart.”

— — —

JORDAN had decided to end the class a tad bit earlier due to the

weather and wanting everyone to get to their destinations safely. all

that was left were his thoughts, his cousin on the other line of his

phone via FaceTime and the low volume of music playing from the

speakers.

for the past 15 minutes he had been showing his cousin new

choreography he wanted to teach in the future to the class. however,

he continued to feel like something was off about it.

“maybe you should remove something then see how it looks from the

other end.” he heard his cousin speak. JORDAN immediately knew

his cousin could read his mind based on the deep sighing and look of

defeat plastered on his face. “i don’t know.. i just.” JORDAN began to

speak before his cousin interrupted, “trust the process, jojo. go with

your gut nothing is a wrong answer. it’s all about trial and error.” not

knowing what else to say, he knew his cousin was correct. as much

as JORDAN hated to make mistakes, he knew he had to try

something else if he wanted to move forward. luckily, with his cousin

also being a dancer, he could see where he was coming from. from

that moment on, he finally listened to the advice and began to try the

choreography one more time.

[bejordan]

JORDAN chuckled again at SUA insinuating that he was lying to her

about her photography skills. “no no, trust me. it’s a ten outta ten.”

he didn’t think he was all that great of a photographer himself, but

he had an eye for talent and was always honest when it came to

do love taking pictures of any flowers or plants that i’m nearby.”

JORDAN couldn’t help but to chuckle at sua’s playful face expression after taking his picture. leaning over to see how the picture came out, he nodded his head — indicating that he liked how it turned out. “oh that’s a 10/10! look at you about to become a professional in no time.”

“candid photos are exactly what they are, yep yep.” when SUA

mentioned rbf, he knew exactly where she was coming from.

he’s heard of the term plenty of times before — even sometimes

people would mention it about his own facial expressions; in which

he too would rarely notice about himself.

“i think i get kinda terrible in hiding my facial expressions too. there

are plenty of times where im unable to hide my face especially at the

wrong times and it be so embarrassing.” he shook his head while

softly laughing. “but i do think photos could capture great angles of

anything especially if you have a rbf. it lives for the moment.”

location — dance studio.

“music is the divine way to tell beautiful, poetic things to heart.”

JORDAN was now back at his second home. as ecstatic as he wanted to be, he was very stressed out at a few set of dancers not being able to follow his synchronization suggestion he had given to them. each time he would watch the group of six movements, he couldn’t exactly pinpoint WHO could be the problem; but knew what the problem was.

“pause the music please.” JORDAN spoke softly to his friend that was helping him with the class today. he appreciated them for even volunteering in the first place. or else he would’ve been screwed being with himself and his thoughts for the next couple of hours. bullet? dodged.

“i had asked you guys to try this choreo again for the second time in

hopes of seeing change. and that…” he twisted his lips as he eyed

each and everyone’s faces. he was used to immediately reading how

nervous people became when it came to criticism. as much as he

hated it, it was the only way for people to learn from their mistakes

and make room for growth in the future.

although to this very day, JORDAN barely takes his own advice.

the main focus of today’s session that JORDAN wanted to go over

was learning and cleaning up mistakes. as a dancer himself, he

knows for sure he made more mistakes than he sleeps. yes he hated

being criticized due to him gaining an insecure feeling that what he

doing may not be “enough.” but, it helped him in the long run when it

was time to get into performance mode.

JORDAN couldn’t help but to chuckle at sua’s playful face expression after taking his picture. leaning over to see how the picture came out, he nodded his head — indicating that he liked how it turned out. “oh that’s a 10/10! look at you about to become a professional in no time.”

wrong times and it be so embarrassing.” he shook his head while

softly laughing. “but i do think photos could capture great angles of

anything especially if you have a rbf. it lives for the moment.”

as their conversation about photography and cameras continued, it gave JORDAN the realization on how much he enjoyed this particular hobby. as much as he regretted abandoning photography, he knew he couldn’t time travel to the past to change certain things; but could only worry about what the future could hold if he were to put his time back into the hobby again.

not only was it fascinating in exploring the tools, pros and cons of photography, but being able to have discussions about it with a friend was another plus. he was very appreciative to hear suggestions, brainstorming and making jokes with SUA.

“i think one of these days i just might end up seeing where my mind takes me. as for the idol thingy?” he shook his head immediately the follow up question. “i’ve just been focusing doing my own thing and continuing to help those that have similar dreams and interests like mine.”

a few seconds later, he had glanced up noticing the camera she was holding was now in his view. placing up two fingers with his dominant hand to make a peace sign, he made a funny face before bursting into soft laughter. “you know the sad part about fansites, they be the main ones catching all the good angles with these idols. i don’t know how they do it. when i usually use cameras, i think my favorite specialty are catching off guards. if you’re one of those that think you may get overwhelmed tryna find that ‘perfect angle’ and what not, off guards will be your best friend.”

[bejordan]

at the same time JORDAN had finished speaking, he too glanced

over and noticed the performance infront of them were nearing to an

end. indicating that he enjoyed a little bit of what he had witnessed,

he began to clap. he knew the feeling of nervousness when

performing infront of others — whether it was 2, 200 or 2,000

individuals in the crowd. but, when showing support in any type of

way, JORDAN knew it could make someone’s day in a heartbeat.

turning his attention back over to his new friend once their

conversation continued, “oh stop, you’re gonna make me blush.” he

jokingly responded; but grateful at the positive compliments. “i

appreciate it, truly. it’s exactly why i keep myself busy at my dance

studio and use my talents to inspire others with similar goals. now

onto you, i think you will do perfectly fine. i know it’s clichè to say

don’t think too much about the mistakes, but as long as your heart is

in it, you have nothing to worry about. these companies and people

that passed up on you definitely will see what they’re missing out on.”

while making sure to keep his full divided attention on the male, JORDAN had nodded his head in agreement to what he had responded with. as much as JORDAN did want to participate in the fun activities, physically he was prepared for the challenge. but, mentally he wasn’t 100 percent with his confidence.

“you know that’s exactly why i had to talk myself out of going up there and make a fool of myself.” he chuckled lightly afterwards. “it seems fun, but to practice, worry about any mistakes, my mind would’ve been insane. maybe next time you can cheer me on if this were to happen again.” he responded with a friendly smile. “but i can’t wait to watch you and your friends get up there. now i can be the one to cheer you on in the sidelines.”

JORDAN had arrived to the cafe a bit earlier since he had already

been outside and to beat traffic. today was the time for him to take a

breather from being a workaholic and to enjoy the fresh air — as well

as being in a different scenery.

after switching tables to be closer to the view of the performance

that was ending pretty soon, he relaxed for a little over 5 minutes — a

new record he definitely added to part of his goals. his laptop was

also open since he was editing a few things to be able post on his

channel; a choreography routine he created just over the weekend.

just as his attention went from watching a performance on the stage

to his laptop, he didn’t realize someone was already sitting next to

him. it startled him a bit seeing the individual, but he tried his best

not to show it — until the two eventually made eye contact with one

another. returning the friendly gestures he then responded,

“i’m actually a bit indecisive about joining the talent show. i think my

skills are a tiny bit rusty and i might make a fool of myself if i do go on

the stage.” he jokingly stated. “my apologies if i took up your

space sitting next to you. i had arrived a little earlier, but just moved

around to get a better view of things. how about you? have you

thought about showing off your talents on the stage?”

“okay okay… i had a good reason to abandon photography… maybe.” JORDAN mirrored SUA’s frown before he continued his explanation.

“back when i was trying out for the idol thing, i had all my attention on that along with dancing, doing my art and photography. i was as busy as a horse and my parents weren’t haven’t that. sooo.. from there i was forced to put all my focus on one thing.” as much as JORDAN wished he didn’t pause the activities to focus on one thing, he knew his parents decision would’ve helped him in the long run; in which it did.

glancing down at the camera that SUA was beginning to play around with, he then nodded his head to her question, “i think they’re definitely making a huge comeback but by baby steps. a lot of people nowadays are starting to love the small digital cameras. then you have those fansites that use the huge movie style cameras for the idols.”

there was still time before he had his own performance. early enough that he could watch some of the others. he'd be meeting up with heechul soon but he had enough time to wander around. enough time for him to wander up to cafe few and purchase a few items. if there was food around then he wouldn't be too far away. there was also the need to get rid of his nerves. it'd be different if there was some regular talent show but he bought into the rumors. even if he didn't win, there was a chance someone would notice him and give him a chance.

right?

there was an open seat at one of the table's and tae grabbed it for himself just as the current performance finished up. it didn't take long before someone snagged the seat next to him. he hadn't planned on saying anything until their eyes met and there was a slightly moment. one he covered with a smile and a slight bow of his head. "are you performing in the talent show? or have you already performed?" a good as opening as any.

"i just arrived a bit ago."

sua doesn't know much about photography, and the only real knowledge she has with cameras is her webcam when she used to stream with facecam. it's been a while since that too, but not as long as a handheld camera that she holds in her hand now.

"hey," she greets jordan when she finally arrives, a smile crossing her face briefly. she extends the camera towards him-- waving a bit to get his attention. it's a handheld digital camera, but the look of it indicates it's something from the early 2010s. "i found this at the thrift the other day. you like photography, don't you?" her eyebrow raises in question. "i have the other stuff for it in my bag. but it's charged and it works. it was dirt cheap, but it has some sort of...novelty nostalgic sort of charm to her." sua snorts, shaking her head. "i got it on whim, but i don't really know much about photography."

“ music is the divine way to tell beautiful, poetic things to the heart. "

LOCATION: vocal studio.

JORDAN was quite shocked yet impressed at how motivated he kept

himself in attending his vocal and music sessions. when not in filming

mode, JORDAN had relearned his skills on the piano, keyboard and

electric guitar. however, this week’s focus he chosen was on the

electric guitar since it was the instrument he learned in the shortest

time span. thankfully, he had a vocal coach he was in love with

instruments just as much as they enjoyed being a vocal coach.

“okay jordan show me what you have learned in your spare time

when we were not meeting up. im curious to know how far you’ve

gotten!” his vocal coach spoke in a exciting tone. as much as

JORDAN’s nerves was running faster than a rollercoaster, he

somewhat felt at ease at his coach’s excitement. it let him know that

even if he were to mess up in the middle of the song he was about to

play, coach would still give him grace for trying his best and not

stopping.

the song that JORDAN chose was none other than michael

jackson’s DIRTY DIANA. settling into a comfortable position, he

made sure to stand infront of his coach so that they were able to

capture each moment they anticipated for.

don’t be nervous.. don’t be nervous.. breathe… take

your time…

after giving himself a mental countdown, the slight nervous male’s

fingers began strumming against the strings of the electric guitar.

having prior knowledge of the song, he knew how to properly strum

the strings without being off beat too early.

in the midst of playing, he could hear his coach mutter a “nice!”

under their breath. to not seem so “desperate” JORDAN was able to

successfully hide his grin and continued all his focus on the guitar.

don’t be nervous.. don’t be nervous.. breathe… take

your time..

[bejordan]

finally clearing his schedule, JORDAN was able to create some free time to himself. not only to catch up on some rest, but to be able to participate in other activities aside from dancing. for those that know him are well aware that dancing is his top favorite hobby of all time. however, getting back into his photography hobby was an idea that has been on his mind for quite some time. luckily, he was able to fulfill the desire with a friend by his side.

he didn’t know how much SUA was knowledgeable on photography. either way, he knew it would be a fun moment to experience for the both of them.

after hanging up a facetime call, he noticed SUA not too far away. he gave her a friendly friendly smile along with a wave before spotting the digital camera that she was carrying, “wow, look at you all prepared and ready to learn the fun ways of photography.” he chuckled softly. “photography and myself are definitely best friends. well, sorta a best friend that i have abandoned for a little while.” he joked. “but no worries today. photography is all about letting your mind run free with all the creativity you can think of.”
