SECRET ADMIRE

"Move to your right a bit... Ahaa good. Tilt your head to your left hand side... wow perfect! You are a pro in this!" ordered Kai while throwing compliments here and there as he took photos of his favorite model, Krystal. The beautiful lady in a red dress smiled in satisfaction as she professionally did her pauses. Who wouldn't be pleased when complimented by such a handsome young man?

Kai couldn't help but smile throughout the photo shoot session. The woman he has adored for so long was right In front of him.

Krystal is a great model whose company is "SM Ent" who is very proud of her since she has been bringing in great profits compared to the other models in their company. She is in her second year since she started working.

Her great beauty and professional skills has been gaining a lot of recognition lately. Due to this, many companies request to have her on their magazine's covers. So there she was, shooting for CeCi magazine.

Soon, it was all over. Jongin sat at a distant while admiring Krystal who was talking to her manager. He wanted to look at her all day. He finally got the chance to take close up photos of her, and see each and every aspect of her beauty... And that smile of hers, made more charming with the red lipstick she had on, she looked simply gorgeous. Before leaving the studio, she turned to face him then flashed him her pretty smile.

"Thank you for your hard work, annyeong", she waved as she made her way out.

"My pleasure….", he smiled while waving back.

Few seconds later, he drifted into his own world as he went on a mini flashback ride of how he first met this girl, how long he has been stalking her since then and how he secretly took photos of her from afar. It was three years ago when the two met along the busy roads of Seoul. Krystal was from the Green Grocery all by herself, heading towards the bus station. She had a rough time crossing the road since she was carrying three packs full of vegetables. Kai spotted her at a distance and immediately went to help her out.

After crossing the road safely, he stood with her at the bus station until the one taking her home's route made its stop there. Once she got in, Kai got in too despite the fact that he was supposed to take a different route. He got in with the intension of wanting to know where she lived. Before He could realize it, he started stalking the girl and his feelings for her grew day by day. As for her, she forgot what he even looked like right after she was helped with her luggage. She thought it was just some gentle man who wanted to help her out, not knowing the exact thing which drove that guy into helping her.

Right now, he'd be lying if he says that what he has for her is just a crush.

"Jongin, can you process the negatives since the pictures are due for the cover..."

"Sure, I'm on my way Sir", Jongin slightly bowed to his manager before heading to the company's Photo development room to produce the pictures he just took.

********************

It was 7am in the morning. Krystal was already awake, preparing herself to go to work. She had a lot of stuff to do on that day... Shooting sessions with different magazines, almost three actually. Her morning schedule was packed but luckily, she was free in the afternoon. She was due to the company by 8am but woke up very early in the morning, as early as 5am. Actually, she couldn't sleep the whole night... Something was disturbing her. And it was that handsome CeCi magazine photographer.

It has been two days since she had her CeCi photoshoot. The following day right after the photoshoot, as she was sitting on a bench of a nearby park at night, she spotted that guy taking photos of her from far while carefully hiding behind a tree. Why is he doing this? What are his intensions? She wondered but pretended as if she didn't see him. She thought she might be in danger if she alerted him at that time hence needs to think of a better plan. She had no idea who he was. Therefore, she couldn't help fear for her safety. And because of that, she couldn't sleep well in the past two days. I must know what's behind his actions she thought while picking up her cellphone and dialing her manager's phone number.

Later that day in the afternoon, Jongin received a call from SM manager.

"Actually, Mrs. Jung specifically asked for you to take photos of her for a personal photo book which she wishes to produce. She said she liked your photographing skills... ",Jongin was dumbfounded upon hearing the manager's statement. Why would she specifically ask for me? He thought as images of Krystal pausing while he took pictures of her flashed before his eyes.

"Mr. Kim, are you there? ", asked the manager since Jongin was silent."Or, are you busy today? ", he added.

Jongin wasn’t busy, neither was he going to let such a golden chance slip off his fingers.

"No I'm not, so what time does she want me there? ", he asked. Excitement was evident in his voice.

"Come at 3pm"

Jongin looked at his wrist watch.

"Two hours from now and I'll be right there at SM", he replied.

Two hours later, Jongin was seated in the manager's office impatiently waiting for Krystal. He told him to wait there and ordered his secretary to call her. Soon, someone knocked the door

"Come in", said the manager and the door flew open revealing a beautiful Krystal dressed in a pretty black dress which reached her knees.

"Annyeong", she greeted while slightly bowing at the two who greeted her back. Upon standing straight, her eyes settled on Jongin and something didn't seem right in her expression. Jongin noticed that there was a hint of disappointment in the pretty lady's face but soon she had her adorable smile back.

"So, let’s get going", she said to Jongin who stood up and followed her to where he was supposed to take her photos. She was styled casually and the room where the photo shoot was to take place was decorated as per a house setting. She did her poses while sitting on a couch, following every order given to her by Jongin. They were alone in that room. She requested the assistants to leave them once the setting was done.

"So what's the purpose of this personal Photo book you are shooting for", asked Jongin as he snapped pictures of her.

"Just for fun, and have memories of the beautiful me once my beauty is gone. At least I can show them to my kids and grandchildren in future", she chuckled.

Kai looked at her and smiled.

"Your beauty can never fade away", he wanted to say that out loud but chose to smile instead.

"Why do you stalk me? ", she asked out of the blue while the photo shoot process was still on. Kai paused for a moment and looked up at her. She had a cold expression on her face.

"I saw you the day before yesterday... You even took pictures of me while I was at the park close to my house", she added.

Realizing that he was caught, Kai resumed to his work before talking. All these years He stalked her perfectly, what has suddenly happened? Was he too absorbed in her beauty that he couldn't be careful enough?

"I did that for personal reasons... " He answered.

"I believe that I have the right to know these personal reasons of yours since my privacy is involved. You know that I would have made a big deal out of what you did but chose to end things smoothly. I called you and paid you for your work today because I wanted to know what was behind your actions and to stop you peacefully", she cocked an eyebrow at him.

"You sure you wanna know what's behind them? " he asked. "Yes", it was clear in her eyes that she demanded an answer right away. Jongin stood up and handed her his business card. "If you wanna know, then visit me in my personal studio. And if you want me to stop then don't worry, so long as you asked for it, I promise to never invade your privacy again", with that, he left a confused Krystal on the couch.

"Can't you just tell me here why you did it? ", she asked once he had reached the door.

"I suck at explaining my intensions... I prefer communicating with actions", he said and exited the room.

That night Krystal couldn't sleep. Her problem was solved... He promised not to ever take her pictures but something in her heart wanted to know why he did so.

"There is saying which goes 'curiosity killed the cat', so you better forget about it. You have no idea what that guy wants from you... And why would he ask you to visit him in his personal studio where you two will be alone? ", warned her bestie, Luna, to whom Krystal seek advice from before going home.

He doesn't look bad... But I can't trust him. I barely know him she thought. She didn't sleep for the remaining hours since her insides kept boiling, demanding to know what's behind Jongin's actions.

The following day, when she thought enough was enough, she decided to pay him a visit at his personal studio. She knew that her decision might lead to something bad happening, but the unanswered questions disturbed her a lot. Also, there was something inside her which assured her that she can trust him.

"Hello, This is Kim Jongin speaking", she heard his voice from the other end as soon as he picked up her call.

"Hi... It's me... Krystal. Actually, I'm right outside your studio.. Are you there", she replied while stammering.

"Oh, yeah I'm in"

"Sorry for not informing you earlier... "

"Nah, don't worry... It's fine".

Nervously, she went to the front door and knocked. The studio was just a simple building, more like a shop. Soon, Jongin opened for her and welcomed her in.

"Have a seat", he said as he dragged a chair for her to sit on. She sat and soon started studying the environment she was in. The studio seemed like it has only two rooms and a washroom. Apart from the one she was in, there was a door right In front of her leading to another room. The place wasn't small, neither was it too big... Its size was just perfect. Different photographing equipment were arranged in the shelves which were present in that room.

"So, tell me why you were stalking me", she asked as soon as he took a seat In front of her.

"Follow me", he smiled as he got up. Krystal hesitated to do as he said.

"Don’t worry, I won't bite", he chuckled.

Krystal smiled as she went after him. Together, they went to the room Krystal initially saw, whose door was closed. When he opened it, it seemed too dark and once more Krystal hesitated to enter. Kai laughed as he switched ON the lights. It was his Development room, where he processes negatives into pictures. Krystal got in once the lights were on.

She was surprised with what she saw inside. There were lots of photos hanged in that room. What touched her was the fact that all the photos in there were hers. She even spotted photos of herself when she was still a university student.

"All this... Are my photos!" she exclaimed.

"You have been talking my photos since I was a University student", she added in a soft tone as she admired the photos hanged above her.

"That's what happens when guy falls for a girl but can't ask her out...", he chuckled.

"And why couldn't you ask her out? " she asked, feeling guilty of having doubted him earlier.

"Which popular model would wish to date a simple photographer? You must be wishing to date an actor... or a popular kpop star maybe... " he answered, trailing off the last sentence.

"That's my reason. You may go now", he said after what seemed like 5 minutes of complete silence.

He faced the floor, listening to her footsteps as she went towards the door. Soon, the door was closed.

"She's gone", he thought as he sighed... only to look up and find her standing next to the door.

"So she went there to close the door, not to leave", he questioned himself while looking at her who was glaring at him.

"Won't you even try asking her out now that you have the chance to?! " she said.

Jongin stood up and walked closer to her. "Will you be my girlfriend?" he asked while looking directly into her dark brown eyes.

She stared back at him, absorbing his handsome features before tiptoeing to peck his cheek.

"Does that answer your question?" she asked, still having her gaze locked with his.

Jongin couldn't help but smile at her.

"Thank you", he said softly as he pulled her into his embrace, planting a kiss on her forehead. They stayed in that position for a while before pulling away from the hug. Actually, Jongin wanted to hug her all day... and she felt comfortable in that position. She then moved away and went towards the door.

"When you are ready to take me out, just call me... I know you saved my number when I called you earlier today", she chuckled.

"You are one clever girl, bye dear"

"Bye", she said softly before walking out of the studio, leaving Jongin behind frozen on his spot.

"Is this real? Or am I dreaming? ", he pinched his cheeks then laughed at his own reaction.
