Of Strangers, Photographers and Models
Jaejoong arrived 5 minutes late to his underwear shoot. Changmin, his manager, was the first to greet him. “Hey, Jae. You’re finally here. Why were you la-“ the young manager eyed Jaejoong’s neck which was covered with several love marks and noticed that he was radiating with that ‘I-got-laid-so-good’ vibe. “Ooohh. Someone had a rough night.”
“Whatever.” Jaejoong tried to brush him off with a laugh.
“Well, if it were any other day, I’d probably be mad at you for being late and for those marks, but I’ll be leaving you alone today, so… GOODLUCK!” Changmin said quickly which made Jaejoong’s jaw drop in disbelief, glaring at his manager with the meanest glare he could muster.
“Where’s the buffet?” Jaejoong didn’t need to ask. The only reason Changmin would ever ditch on a job was food.
“What buffet?” Changmin asked, feigning ignorance.
“You bitch! The only reason you ever ditch is food. I know you.”
“Yes you do. Your bartender friend gave me his extra coupon for an eat-all-you-can, so you’re on your own.” Changmin teased, obviously in a good mood. “I heard that the photographer’s not really forgiving when it comes to tardiness, so try to not screw it up more than you already have.”
Jaejoong’s lips turned into a pout, trying to imitate a ‘kicked-puppy’ face.
“Nope. That doesn’t work on me.” Changmin eyed him weirdly. “I don’t like men.”
“Yeah, right. Then why are you going on a date with Yoochun?” Jaejoong shot back. He’s been suspicious of Changmin and Yoochun ever since he introduced them to one another a few weeks back.
Changmin was about to open his mouth to retort, but the coordinator-noona called for Jaejoong “Go to hair and make-up. You’re behind schedule as it is! Shoo!”
Jaejoong was all styled up for the shoot with his hair brushed up and his body oiled up. He was wearing the first piece from the collection which was a black boxer brief with a small triangle cut-out on top paired with black suspenders and cuffs. He doesn’t really get nervous for photoshoots anymore since he’s been doing it for years. He’s even tried nude photoshoots before. Today was different though because this was the first time he came on set with love bites all over his body. He was usually more careful, but he didn’t really regret it to be honest, the man last night was an MVP in bed. He would go back for seconds or thirds or more if the other was up for it. Despite not regretting the tryst, it was really a chore to cover up all of the hickeys on his pale skin. The make-up noona scolded him the whole time she was covering him up because aside from being behind schedule, she also had to cover up his tattoos. It was a good thing she was very skilled in her craft and that there was photoshop.
Jaejoong was finally brought to the set. There was a plain white backdrop with a queen sized bed. Everything was white, the headboard, the sheets, the pillows. The theme was minimalist, black and white since all the underwear were monochromatic colors.
The photographer was taking a few test shots, so Jaejoong couldn’t really see his entire face, but there was this nagging feeling at the back of his mind that the man was awfully familiar. When he finally put down his camera, Jaejoong was in for a shock.
“Hello Jaejoong-ssi, I’m Jung Yunho, and I will be your photographer today.” Yunho introduced himself with a bright smile.
Jaejoong was stunned for a moment at the realization that the man he was with last night was the man in front of him at the moment and also the reason he was late.
“Jaejoong-ssi?“ Yunho asked with smirk as if to wake Jaejoong from his daze.
“A-ah yeah. It’s nice to meet you, Yunho-ssi.” Jaejoong finally said, reaching out his hand for a hand-shake. “Let’s work hard today.”
“Hard. Yeah.” Yunho reiterated with a light laugh, making Jaejoong blush. “You came in a little late today and you even had a lot of cover up to do, but I’ll let it slide.” The staff that heard their conversation were a little surprised because they knew that Yunho was usually strict with schedules and no matter how famous the model he worked with was, he’d make sure to give them a good warning. They didn’t mention anything though and went on with the photoshoot.
“Thank you…” Jaejoong said with a sly smile. “…for understanding my tardiness and overlooking the marks you- I mean the marks on my skin.”
Yunho tried to hold back a laugh, amused at the model’s teasing, but he just couldn’t. He let out a short chuckle and directed Jaejoong to start posing.
Once the shoot started, they both got into professional mode and did their jobs with ease. Jaejoong was known to be great with flirting with the camera, but he was extra good today because he wasn’t only flirting with the camera but with the photographer as well.
When Yunho asked him for a few seductive poses, it wasn’t hard for him at all. Knowing that Yunho was focused directly at him through the viewfinder, he didn’t even have to think of his facial expression, their tryst last night was practically a practice session for this photoshoot.
After the photoshoot wrapped up, Jaejoong had his make-up removed and changed back to his own clothes, a plain white v-neck and skinny jeans that accentuated his figure. When he got out of the door, Yunho was standing there, fiddling with his phone. Jaejoong coughed so the other would notice him.
Yunho looked up from his phone and placed it in his pocket as he walked up to the model. “Hey. I was waiting for you.”
“Yeah. I figured. What’s up?” Jaejoong asked, not really surprised that Yunho waited for him but still curious as to why.
“I just- uh. Do you want to get dinner?”
“Your treat?”
“Yeah. As thanks for a good job and as an apology for making you late.”
“Okay. I’d like that.” Jaejoong answered with a smile.
Yunho led Jaejoong to his car and they drove off to a nearby restaurant. Jaejoong was riding shotgun.
As they waited for their food to be served, they just sat there and stared at each other. Yunho’s face broke into a smile which intrigued Jaejoong. “What?”
“Nothing. I’m just appreciating the beauty in front of me.” Yunho answered truthfully albeit being absolutely cheesy..
“Ha. Ha. Is this how you treat all the people you hook up with?” Jaejoong asked with piqued interest. “You wait for them after work then offer them dinner?”
“No.” Yunho looked Jaejoong straight in his doe-like eyes “but this is how I treat the person I’m trying to woo.”
“Are you serious?” the shorter man asked, taken aback by the straightforwardness.
“Yeah.” The taller man answered nonchalantly.
“But we just met.” The shorter man countered
“Well, a lot of your fans probably haven’t met you, and I’m pretty sure a lot of them want to woo you, too.” the man in question retorted back.
The model couldn’t help but laugh at the photographer’s analogy. He really liked Yunho and his personality. “So basically, you’re saying you’re a fanboy?”
“Yeah, but it would be better if I were promoted to suitor status.” Yunho suggested with a blinding grin.
“Well it’s your lucky day. You just got a promotion.”
“Then, okay. I’m now your suitor who is very much interested in getting to know you and not just getting into your pants.” Yunho clarified.
“That’s good to know.” Jaejoong replied, touched by the thought. “but you already got into my pants.”
“And exploring that was absolutely pleasing, but I’d also like to explore what’s inside that pretty head of yours. To be honest, I’ve always been curious about you ever since I saw your first magazine spread. They do say a picture’s worth a thousand words, imagine how many words a spread contains.”
Jaejoong couldn’t fight the blush that creeped onto his face. He realized that Yunho made him smile a lot with all his silly antics and sexiness.
Their food finally arrived and they continued their conversation. Both were eager to get to know each other.
Yunho found out that Jaejoong loved spicy food and even asked the waitress for the spiciest chili pepper they had for Jaejoong to prove how accustomed his palette was to spicy food, and he was amazed at how Jaejoong didn’t even flinch after taking a bite. He also learned that Jaejoong was the youngest of 9 siblings and was the only boy, he had a cat named Jiji who he left back in his hometown Gongju with his parents, he covered his mouth with the back of his hand when he laughed and that their birthdays were a day apart.
Jaejoong learned that Yunho loved Japanese food but his favourite was still tteokbeokki, he started taking photos when he was 7, he lived in Japan for two years, he had a younger sister who Jaejoong deemed to be the girl version of him and that there was a cute mole right above his bow shaped lips.
After their dinner turned date, Yunho took Jaejoong home. He parked a block away from Jaejoong’s apartment building and walked him the rest of the way. They were walking in a very slow pace, both not wanting to part yet.
“Well, we’re here.” Jaejoong said, facing the other man as he gestured to the building in front of them. “Would you like to come up?”
Yunho really wanted to say yes, but he knew he shouldn’t due to the fact that he had to catch a flight in a few hours. “I’d love to, but I’m flying to London in about 5 hours.”
“Oh. Who are you shooting with?”
“Some British boy band. I’m shooting their album photobook.”
“Ooohhh. Fancy.” Jaejoong teased.
They stared at each other for a moment and ended up laughing. “Shit. I feel like we’ve become teenagers all of a sudden.” Yunho said as their laughter died down.
“It’s your fault. Stop going all high school on me.”
Yunho just smiled and leaned in to give the model a goodbye kiss. Their lips were just an inch apart with their breaths mingling in between. As their lips were just about to touch, a sudden loud burst of Big Bang’s fantastic baby blasted from Jaejoong’s pocket, ‘Yeogi buteora modu moyeora we gon’ party like lilililalala…’, which caused them to jump in surprise and break apart.
Yunho snickered trying to hold back his full blown laughter as Jaejoong bit his lip in slight annoyance and embarrassment. He mouthed a “sorry” to Yunho before pulling out his phone. It was his manager.
“Hello, Min.” Jaejoong greeted the man who ditched him.
“Hey, Jae! I just wanted to ask if the shoot went well.”
“Well, it ended like 5 hours ago, but yeah, it went okay. Thanks for asking, you ditcher.”
“Hey, Jaejae! How was last night’s tryst?” Yoochun suddenly snatched the phone from Changmin which caused Jaejoong to be more suspicious of what was going on between the two.
“It was great, Chunnie. I’ll tell you the deets when I visit the bar.” Jaejoong said, looking at Yunho with a smirk. Yunho seemed to have caught on the conversation. He stepped closer to Jaejoong and asked him “Is that your bartender friend?”
“Yeah.” Jaejoong answered.
“Who was that?” Changmin and Yoochun asked in unison. They seemed to have put him on speaker phone.
“It’s Yunho.”
“Your photographer?” “The guy from last night?” Changmin and Yoochun asked at the same time. “What?” they asked at the same time again.
“I’ll explain later. Bye, guys.” Jaejoong said before cutting the line.
He sighed in relief that the conversation was over and looked at the man who was waiting for him.
“I’m sorry about that. Where were we?”
“I was just about to…” Yunho leaned in and finally gave him that goodbye kiss. It was just a light peck that turned into a deep battle for dominance between their tongues. Yunho couldn’t help but explore Jaejoong’s cavern since the last time he tasted it was more than 8 hours ago.
Yunho pulled away from the kiss before he got anymore carried away. Jaejoong was panting slightly. “Well, I hope you have a good flight.” he said with a coy smile.
“Yeah. Thanks. Goodnight, Jaejoong.” Yunho bid goodbye and waited for the other man to enter his apartment building.
As Yunho got back to his car, he just sat there for a second as he realized he was half hard. He totally regretted not going up to Jaejoong’s flat as he said to himself “When the hell did I turn into a gentleman?”

A/N: Hello there. I started this fic like 3 years ago? Lol. Now it's done. I wanted to turn this into a universe. I'll try to write more stuff for this verse in the future. Idk. I'm lazy af. I'm surprised that I am even able to write and post things again. Lol. I thought of a few plots this past week probably since I watched "The Girl Who Sees Scents" and Yoochun there was just so UGH <3 <3 my weak heart just could not take that amount of Yoochun :"> and because I followed a lot of Yunjae fans on twitter, so my timeline is just flooded with inspiration. I was thinking of maybe posting a drabble dump for plots that I'm too lazy to turn into long fics. Lol. We'll see. I hope you guys like this. I'm sorry if it seems rushed? or incomplete? The gap between writing the first part and second part was huge, so I don't know if they have the same feel? OTL. Comments are appreciated. :)
