61 Foam-like Happy World (2/2)

”If you wanted a picture of me, you could have just asked,” she said with a slightly resentful tone. She glowered at him with a pout and furrowed eyebrows, looking rather discontented.

”I—huh?” Hyuk paused at her words. He found himself being dumbfounded by her words. 'What? Wasn't she angry?' He thought doubtfully.

He stared at her with a blank look.

Yeo Ri found his reaction funny, and the corner of her lips raised into an amused grin. ”Come on, Oppa. Let's take a picture together,” she says as she dragged him over to an empty bench in the vicinity of the library.

One of Yeo Ri's favourite pastimes was taking self-portrait photos, and she often borrowed Gun's phone to take them. Of course, for the sake of conserving memory, she ended up deleting them.

She positioned the phone into a selfie pose, and stuck close to Hyuk. With practised ease, she took a few pictures in quick succession.

After taking a couple of shots, she browsed through the newly taken photos and frowned. ”Oppa, you should smile a little,” she remarked.

In one shot, he looked confused, and in the others, he was either not ready or he had a weird expression on his face.

”...Sorry,” Hyuk apologised amidst the surreal feeling he was experiencing.

Hyuk was rarely on the other side of the lens, so the most he could do was flashing a small, awkward smile towards the camera. Aside from that, he couldn't help but be distracted by their closeness. Yeo Ri was practically stuck to his side, and their cheeks had touched on multiple occasions.

”Okay, final shot,” Yeo Ri says, getting ready to finish up the we-fie session. ”One, two, three...” she counted. Inside her mind, she smiled slyly.

Just as the phone was about to take the picture, Yeo Ri quickly moved and planted a kiss on Hyuk's cheek, taking him by surprise.

”Hey, what are you doing?!” He erupted, ears reddening from embarrassment.

Yeo Ri replied with a light laugh. She ignored the look he was giving her, instead checking the picture she had just taken.

Luckily, the shot did not end up in a mess of blur. The phone proved to be of good quality as it was able to capture the exact moment of when Yeo Ri kissed Hyuk and his eyes had widened in surprise. The tip of his ears were beginning to grow red from the realisation of what was happening.

Yeo Ri grinned happily at the nicely taken picture. ”Doesn't it look nice, Oppa?”

”...You!” Hyuk felt like he was about to burst but at the same time he was also feeling speechless. How could this girl do something like that in broad daylight? What if someone saw them? Even worse, what if someone they knew saw them?

”What?” Yeo Ri tilted her head, acting innocent. ”Anyways, don't delete them, okay?” She returned his phone back to him with a warning.

Hyuk covered his face with one hand, hoping that his blush would go away. 'This girl...'

He sighed ruefully in his mind. It was because she kept doing things like this that he couldn't help but fall for her.

'Stop it, Lee Hyuk,' he roared at himself inwardly. 'Don't go down the hole any further. You can never have her!'
