"Are you secretly taking pictures of me again?" Luhan asked as he squints his eyes against the striking sunlight, his hand blocks the light. A shadow cast just below his forehead and before Sehun puts his camera down, he takes another shot. 

"You're so full of yourself, Luhan. Can't you see how beautiful you - the view behind you is?" Sehun said as he brings his camera in front of his face to yet again take another picture. Luhan just laughed but he's seriously trying to sound okay with Sehun's snide comment and ran towards the latter who busies himself with taking continuous shots. Luhan hooked an arm around his neck and nuzzled in his cheeks and said, "Oh don't be shy." Then left a kiss on Sehun's cheek. 

Sehun loves taking pictures. He does it as a hobby and as a profession. He usually takes pictures for weddings, proposals, birthday parties and other memorable occasions but what he loves capturing is his favorite memory -- his best friend, family and boyfriend, Luhan. But he denies it. He never shows Luhan his pictures because he's saving it for something very important and he feels like his pictures need to be improved more. 

-- 

While Sehun is in his studio developing the pictures from last night's event, Luhan is busy with preparing dinner. He usually just buys takeout but seeing as Sehun is busy, he wants to surprise him with his mouth-watering meal. He calls his friend Kyungsoo for receipes, "What should I put? I need to make him fall in love with me once again." 

Kyungsoo, on the other line laughed at his friend's determination. "Luhan hyung, everyone knows Sehun is in love with you...put carrots and bell peppers." 

While he exerts so much effort in cutting the vegetables for his own version of curry, all he did was sigh since he feels that Sehun is less affectionate now that he found his career as a photographer. He feels like the love Sehun shows now is different from when they were just starting. "Well, maybe I'm just being selfish. I mean I feel like he loves his camera more than me." 

"Hyung, I think you're overthinking things. Now, put the potatoes and curry powder then wait for the chicken to cook then you're good."

"Maybe I am. I really don't know. Thanks, Soo." And he waits for his curry to come to a boil. 

-- 

"Dude, you really should push through with your exhibit. Your pictures are over the top! You shouldn't waste it." 

"Jongin, I'm just starting. It's not like people would care about my pictures." Sehun made his point since he lacks the confidence. He feels like he needs to improve on a lot of things when in fact his pictures say a thousand words just by looking at them. 

Jongin is one of his clients. He always gets Sehun for different occasions and now he is willing to budget for Sehun's own exhibit but he doesn't want to do it. "If you want it, just give me a call and I'll fix it for you. Alright?" 

"Sure. Thanks, man!" 

And Sehun continues to look at his developed pictures. It's all so beautiful and very well captured because it's his favorite. 

Then suddenly Jongin's offer sounds tempting and interesting but he shrugs all thoughts of that exhibit and gave Luhan a call. 

After two rings, Luhan immediately picked up his phone. "Hi babe. Are you on your way home now?" 

While sorting out pictures, he answered with disappointed tone in his voice, "Luhan, sorry I'll be home late. I need to finish some work for a client. Don't wait up for me." 

-- 

"I love -- hello? Hello? Sehun?" Just when Luhan was about to say I love you, Sehun hangs up on him. He put his phone down rather annoyed on top of the counter and turns off the stove. He grabbed the pot of curry not caring if the handles are hot and dumped the curry in the sink while the steam hits his face along with the anger going straight to his head. 

Luhan is really disappointed at Sehun. He doesn't usually do this - going home late, forgetting about dinner and saying I love you to Luhan. Maybe Luhan is expecting so much from Sehun since they've known each other for the longest time. But, maybe it's also true that when you're in a relationship for so long, you'll see difference. Change. And that is something Luhan isn't used to. It would take him a whole lot of adjusting since Sehun is always there for him. Sehun always have the time, especially for him.

Times like this, he always confide with his best friend, Baekhyun. Since, his sassy friend would always have something to say.

"Luhan, maybe he's just really busy." His friend said while trying to sound convincing. Sometimes Luhan sees small things at a big picture and would make things more complicated. 

"No, Baek. He gives more time for his camera. Whenever he's here at home, he's busy taking pictures of our pet fish, our bedroom, his food, seriously even the freakin stove top. Do you get me now? Sometimes, I think, Sehun being a photographer is a joke. Who takes pictures of nonsense things?" Luhan complained as if he has been repressing every feeling and now he has fully erupted. 

Baekhyun just let out a long sigh, he knows Luhan too well. He's being his paranoid self again when everyone knows that Sehun is being his normal self. The problem with Luhan is he invests so much in the relationship that Sehun couldn't even top his investments even if he tries. Luhan shows his 210% on their relationship but Sehun lacks the percentage though he seriously want infinity percent for Luhan because he deserves it. 

"Calm down, Lu. You know Sehun. Maybe he's seeing things through the lense of his camera. You'll never know." 

-- 

"Hello? Luhan? Lu -?" Sehun checked his phone and, "! Low batt!" He irritatingly uttered and hurried with sorting out his pictures and immediately charged his phone. 

He made a mental note to himself to get an assistant because his work would definitely ruin his relationship with Luhan. He knows very well that he has been spending less time with his boyfriend and he will surely make up for it.

As he continues to put the pictures to their respective envelopes, Sehun saw a yellow post-it on his drawer that says, "Don't forget to eat. I love you. - L." He suddenly remembers the time when Luhan went to his studio and brought him his lunch. It was a short encounter since he needed to get back to work but knowing that Luhan always supports him, it's more than enough. 

Even if his battery level is at 10%, he tried calling Luhan back but his line is busy. He knew that his boyfriend is probably talking to Baekhyun since he can sense that Luhan is disappointed in him. Who wouldn't be? He's even disappointed in himself. 

Instead of trying to get to Luhan's line, he dialed Jongin's phone. 

"Hello, Jongin? I know I said earlier that I didn't want the exhibit but I think it's worth the shot. So?" 

"Yes, dude! Yes! Let's do it! Let's start planning tomorrow." Jongin excitedly said and Sehun felt the need to talk to Luhan about his first major project. He thinks it would make Luhan happy since finally he will be able to see his pictures. 

--

When he got home, Sehun directly went to their bedroom to check on Luhan. It was past midnight when he arrived and he feels sorry after seeing Luhan asleep, not in his arms. 

He quickly changed his clothes for bed and quietly dips down beside Luhan, careful not to wake him up. Usually when Sehun goes home late, Luhan would wake up and give him a sleepy kiss and back to bed but this time he didn't even stir. Luhan is in deep sleep. Sehun thinks that maybe Luhan's just tired... tired of waiting for him. 

Sehun supports himself with his elbow to observe the sleeping figure beside him. His finger outlines the perfectly carved facial features of his boyfriend. He instantly grabbed a camera from his bedside drawer and takes pictures of him. His eyes, nose, lips and he notices Luhan's creased forehead as if he's been having unconscious thoughts again and he soothes them out. "Please, love me... instead of your camera..." Luhan lazily said as he turns his back on Sehun. Sehun knew Luhan was having a dream but he thinks that's how his boyfriend feels nowadays and he feels so guilty about it. 

He puts his camera down and instinctively have an idea for his exhibit. This exhibit will make up for all the times he's been missed by Luhan. He will definitely be able to show infinity percent this time. 

-- 

Luhan woke up alone. He was expecting Sehun beside him but he's not. And again, he feels disappointed. And now lonely. He grumpily got out of bed and went to the bathroom. He's expecting Sehun to be taking a bath at this hour since it's just seven in the morning but unfortunately, he found the bathroom empty. "Where is Sehun?" He asked himself while going down the stairs. 

He assumed Sehun surprising him with breakfast but there's no smell of burnt eggs or toast from the kitchen instead he found a box of cereal, milk and a post-it that says, "Bought these awhile ago when you were asleep. Check ref, bought eggs too just cook them. Sorry I didn't want to wake you up. Love, S." 

Luhan crumpled the post-it in his hand and threw it somewhere in the house out of frustration. Now, he won't be able to do anything since his day is already ruined. He slump in their sofa and stared blankly into space thinking what the hell is happening in their relationship?

-- 

"Jongin, when will we be able to finish this event? Can it be done asap?" Sehun asked rather stressing out as he prints pictures from different cameras. He woke up early to go to his studio and print his landscape pictures by machine and the precious ones manually. 

"When are you planning?" Jongin asked as he checks on the pictures. 

"April 20. I know it's tomorrow...can it be done?" 

"Well, is this going to be an intimate event? I meant for the opening?" Jongin asked as he sorts perfectly captured views of the city. Sehun nodded and hummed, "Hmmm for my boyfriend. His birthday is tomorrow and I want to surprise him." 

A smile broke out from Jongin's face and assured Sehun that once the pictures are put in a canvas and frames, they're good to go. 

Sehun hurriedly dialed Luhan's friends and told them to keep Luhan company for the meantime since he's been really busy with work. He didn't tell them about his surprise since he just wants it to be a complete secret. Knowing Baekhyun, he would probably squeal and blab to Luhan about his surprise. Better to be safe than sorry.
