You’re setting up your camera when Bada walks into the studio. She’s taller than you expected, her energy filling the room even before she speaks.
“Is this where I’m supposed to stand?” she asks, pointing to the white backdrop.
“Yeah,” you reply, adjusting your lens. “Just relax. Be yourself.”
She smirks. “That’s easy for you to say. You’re not the one being photographed.”
The session begins, and you find yourself captivated by her. The way she moves, the way she effortlessly switches from serious to playful—it’s hard to look away.
“You’re good at this,” Bada says after a while, watching you as you adjust the lighting.
“So are you,” you reply, your voice quieter than you intended.
She grins, tilting her head. “Do you always get this shy, or is it just me?”
You freeze for a moment before laughing nervously. “Maybe it’s just you.”
Over the next few days, the two of you see each other more often. What starts as casual conversations about the photoshoot turns into long talks over coffee, shared playlists, and stolen glances that linger a little too long. You find yourself drawn to her—her confidence, her passion, her kindness beneath the sharp edges.
One evening, after reviewing the final set of photos together, she leans in closer, her voice softer than usual. “You see me differently, don’t you?”
Your breath catches, and you realize she’s right. You do.
