"The Camera That Saw Him "

V was used to cameras.

Stage cameras. Brand cameras. Fansite cameras.

Everywhere he went, flashes followed him ✨

But somehow… the only camera that ever made him nervous belonged to one quiet photographer named Jungkook 😭💜

It started during a winter photoshoot in Seoul.

Taehyung had worked with hundreds of photographers before, so he expected the same thing again — poses, lights, fake smiles.

Instead, he noticed a boy in an oversized black hoodie quietly adjusting his camera lens in the corner.

No unnecessary talking.

No trying to impress him.

Just focused eyes and soft concentration.

“That’s Jungkook,” one staff member whispered.

“New photographer. Crazy talented.”

Taehyung nodded casually… but his eyes kept drifting back toward him 😭✨

The shoot started.

Usually Taehyung was naturally confident in front of cameras, but every time Jungkook lifted the lens toward him, something felt different.

Like Jungkook wasn’t photographing an idol.

He was seeing him.

“Perfect,” Jungkook murmured absentmindedly while checking a shot.

Taehyung blinked.

“What?”

Jungkook looked up suddenly, realizing he’d spoken out loud 😭😂

“I—I mean the lighting. The lighting is perfect.”

Taehyung smiled slowly.

“Sure.”

After that day, they kept crossing paths.

Music video shoots. Fashion events. Airport schedules.

And somehow, Taehyung always searched for Jungkook first in every crowded room 🥹💜

One night, after a concert, Taehyung escaped to the rooftop of the hotel because he was exhausted.

Fame was loud.

Too loud sometimes.

He expected silence there… but instead found Jungkook sitting near the edge, editing photos on his laptop.

“Oh,” Jungkook looked surprised.

“Sorry, I can leave if you want.”

“No,” Taehyung answered quickly.

Then softer,

“Stay.”

Cold wind moved through the rooftop as city lights glowed below them 🌃✨

Jungkook quietly turned the laptop toward him.

On the screen were hundreds of photos from tour.

But unlike official pictures, these were different.

Taehyung laughing backstage.

Taehyung sleeping in the car.

Taehyung staring at rain through windows.

Taehyung looking tired when nobody else noticed 😭

“You kept all these?”

Jungkook looked nervous suddenly.

“I was going to delete them if you were uncomfortable.”

Taehyung shook his head slowly.

“No one’s ever looked at me this gently before.” 💜

Jungkook froze for a second after hearing that 😭💜

Because to him, Taehyung had always looked beautiful naturally.

Not just idol-beautiful.

Human beautiful.

The kind that happened in tiny moments nobody else noticed ✨

Like when Taehyung smiled at staff members after exhausting schedules.

Or how he quietly covered sleeping members with blankets during flights.

Or the way his eyes softened whenever he looked at the night sky.

Jungkook had captured all of it without even realizing 🥹

On the rooftop, silence settled comfortably between them.

Then Taehyung suddenly pointed at one photo.

It was blurry — Taehyung laughing mid-motion while rain fell around him after a concert 🌧️✨

“This one,” he whispered.

“It feels… real.”

Jungkook looked at him softly.

“Because you were happy.”

Taehyung turned toward him then.

Not toward the city.

Not toward the lights.

Toward Jungkook.

And for the first time in a long while, Taehyung felt seen beyond stages, fame, and expectations 😭💜

After that night, things changed quietly.

Taehyung started stealing Jungkook during schedules 😭😂

“Come eat with me.”

“Walk with me.”

“Take photos for me only.”

Staff members noticed immediately.

One manager literally sighed,

“There they go again.” 😂✨

But Jungkook still stayed careful.

Because Taehyung was one of the biggest idols in the world.

And Jungkook was… just a photographer.

At least, that’s what he thought.

One evening during an overseas tour in Paris, Taehyung found Jungkook alone near the backstage corridor editing pictures again.

“You work too much,” Taehyung complained.

“You pose too much,” Jungkook replied instantly 😭

Taehyung gasped dramatically.

“Wow. Attitude.”

Jungkook laughed softly, and Taehyung genuinely paused for a second.

Because Jungkook rarely laughed loudly… but when he did, it felt warm enough to make everything else disappear 🥹✨

Without thinking, Taehyung reached out and fixed Jungkook’s slightly messy hair.

The moment his fingers brushed Jungkook’s forehead, both of them went completely silent 😭💜

Jungkook looked up slowly.

Taehyung’s heartbeat was suddenly way too fast.

“I…” Taehyung whispered.

But before he could finish, distant staff voices echoed through the hallway.

Reality came rushing back.

Idol. Photographer. Cameras. Headlines.

Taehyung stepped back immediately.

And Jungkook’s expression fell just a little 🥺

The rest of the night felt strangely quiet after that moment in the hallway 😭💜

Taehyung tried acting normal during the schedule, smiling for cameras and joking with staff… but his mind kept replaying the feeling of Jungkook’s soft hair under his fingers 🥹✨

And Jungkook?

He suddenly couldn’t look at Taehyung properly anymore.

Every time their eyes met, he’d instantly look away and mumble,

“Taehyung-hyung, the staff is calling you,”

or

“Hyung, you should rest.”

That word — hyung — somehow made Taehyung’s heart beat even faster 😭💜

Late that night, everyone finally returned to the hotel in Paris.

Taehyung couldn’t sleep.

So naturally… he ended up outside Jungkook’s hotel room at 2 AM 😂✨

He knocked softly.

A few seconds later the door opened, revealing Jungkook in oversized sweats, sleepy eyes, and messy hair.

Both of them just stared at each other for a moment 😭

“Hyung?” Jungkook blinked.

“Why are you awake?”

Taehyung leaned against the doorway dramatically.

“I missed my photographer.”

Jungkook immediately turned red.

“Hyung…”

Taehyung laughed softly and walked inside before Jungkook could protest.

The room was dimly lit, camera equipment scattered everywhere, soft music playing quietly in the background 🎶✨

“You really live like this?” Taehyung teased while looking around.

“You’re one to talk,” Jungkook muttered.

Taehyung smiled… then suddenly noticed photos spread across the desk.

Not official idol pictures.

Just… him.

Taehyung sleeping during flights.

Taehyung holding coffee cups.

Taehyung smiling at sunsets from car windows 🌇💜

Moments Taehyung himself didn’t even remember.

Jungkook instantly moved to hide them.

“Hyung, wait—”

But Taehyung gently caught his wrist.

“Don’t.”

Jungkook froze.

Taehyung looked at the photos quietly before whispering,

“You make me look like someone worth loving.”

Jungkook’s breath caught 😭✨

“Hyung…” his voice came out small.

Taehyung finally looked up at him.

And suddenly the distance between them felt painfully tiny.

“No cameras right now,” Taehyung whispered softly.

“No idol either.”

He stepped a little closer.

“Just me.”

Jungkook’s heart was practically breaking at that point 🥹💜

Because Taehyung was looking at him so gently… like he was something precious.

And Jungkook knew right then —

he was completely, hopelessly gone for him ✨
