Chapter Text
it's been six months since rika passed away.
jumin had come over to jihyun's place for a drink, much to the latter's dismay.
jihyun had insisted it was unnecessary to meet at his house and that they could simply meet at a restaurant, but the protests only further inclined jumin to come over.
he'd arrived a little early, and jihyun was still in the shower.
jihyun had left the door open to his place just in case, which jumin thought was a major security hazard and would discuss over a glass of wine.
jihyun's place was just as clean as he was, white sleek walls and a modern design.
the one place which was messy was his workspace, which was scattered with various camera parts and stands of the like.
they all looked dusty and stowed away, like it hadn't been touched for months.
jumin frowned. jihyun didn't have an opportunity to showcase any of his newer works without a party, but he thought that jihyun would atleast be continuing photos even after rika's passing.
jumin heard the bathroom door open and swiftly made his way back to the living room where jihyun emerged, only a bathrobe covering his figure.
"oh, you're here already. sorry about me, let me get dressed."
"oh, no worries." jumin said with a quick look-over as he opened the older's fridge.
as much as he insisted otherwise, he'd prepared two bottles of wine in his fridge.
jumin grabbed one along with two wine glasses from the top cupboard.
he set the bottle and glasses at the table by the window, taking a seat as he waited for his mint haired friend.
in a minute or two, jihyun emerged from his room dressed in a tight turtleneck sweater and some sweatpants, taking a seat next to jumin at the table.
"i still think this was a bit unnecessary." jihyun commented as he watched jumin pour themselves a glass of wine.
"we hadn't met and talked in a while. it's only fair, i wanted to catch up with you a little." he said before taking a sip of wine.
"i just don't see why my place is the ideal location, it was a bother to clean up." jihyun twirled his drink around with his fingers, eyes on jumin.
"speaking of your place," jumin decided to bring up his earlier observation.
"i noticed all your usual professional camera equipment were stowed away in your workplace, they've grown dusty. do you not take pictures anymore?"
"ah, that..." jihyun looked out the window, trying to figure out the right words.
"i suppose i'd always used that equipment for different kinds of photo-shooting than my usual ones, but when rika passed, i lost the ability to do that."
"different kinds of photo-shooting?" jumin questioned.
"ah... it's... a long story." jihyun avoided eye-contact.
"i understand you're in mourning, but you have an eye for photography. i don't see a reason for you to quit it altogether after rika's passing, no matter her influence on your works."
"it's not that i quit entirely," jihyun corrected. "it's just... i used to mostly take photos of rika. there was an essence, a part about her that was so alluring and beautiful to capture. she was the sun, and the moon, and all the stars, and even more. i was entranced with her aura. none of the works i present at parties do i hold dear as much as the works i did with rika." jihyun rambled a little before he stopped himself.
"without rika.. my work became merely a vessel of it's former glory."
jumin hummed with another sip of his wine. "i can't say i saw what you saw in her. but i do think you bring out something in everyone with your photography."
jihyun grinned modestly. "i'll take that as a compliment."
"it is. but, have you never felt that with someone else? do you not think you could bring out what you saw in rika with someone else?" jumin posed.
with a sip of his wine, jihyun answered. "maybe, but rika had that naturality about her that i never saw in anybody else. infatuation or not, she was something i didn't have to bring out, but something that brought me in. she was beautiful, but so sinister. it was a gentle and perfect mix, and she was willing to let me capture it all. it's not the kind of work people would be open to, but she accepted it with no hesitation. she was one of a kind, perfect for me."
jumin watched the man's eyes sparkle as he rambled about his former lover. he truly was passionate. it left him wondering what these so-called works were.
"may i see some of these works? maybe i could put in my two cents. i may not have an eye for art like you, but i'm no amateur myself."
the question caught jihyun off guard, but he was quick to shut down the request. "ah, they're a bit private. they were something between rika and i, only for us to know, and i'd like to keep it that way."
jumin frowned. "it's a bit sad, to see you let go of such a fine opportunity to grasp your talent when you're still in the first stages of your budding career."
jihyun smiled in return. "maybe so, but i'm sure it will return someday. i just need to find the right moment."
"then..." jumin started as he set down his glass, causing jihyun to focus on him.
"why don't you try me on for size?"
jihyun stiffened. "pardon?"
"i may not be rika, but i consider myself the person next closest to you. if you ever want to channel your past enthusiasm for photography, i feel like i'd be a good start, no?" jumin elaborated.
"jumin, i don't think that's..."
"it can't be that bad. i'm far from bad in front of a camera, i have plenty of experience as a public figure anyway. just tell me what to do. whatever rika did, i'm sure i can mimic it to the best of my capabilities. and i never fail."
jihyun chugged down the rest of his wine before setting his glass down with a slight unsteadiness. "jumin, the kind of work i did with rika was personal,"
"intimate, even."
jumin's eyes narrowed with further curiosity.
"it's not something i'd ever dared to drag you into, especially with how repulsed you were at intimacy. please, reconsider. i know how persistent you can be, which is why i'm asking this of you. you also tend to dive head first into things without knowing the consequences."
jumin thought about reconsidering for a split second before his fists tightened firmly.
"it's my duty as your closest confidant. i'll help you through whatever it is that you need to the best of my abilities. i'm sure about this. as long as i can get you back into photography again. i can't possibly let your talent go to waste like this."
jihyun sighed. "you're persistent, alright."
jihyun got up from his chair, which made jumin perk up.
just as he was about to get up to follow suit, jihyun gestured him to sit back down, to which he obliged.
"i'll go get my camera. wait here, i won't be long." jihyun walked off, jumin's eyes trailing him.
in around a minute, he emerged from his workroom holding a bulky camera and a stand.
jihyun stood in front of jumin, fiddling with the camera as he set it on the stand. "are you truly sure about this?"
"jihyun." jumin responded sternly. he did not like to be questioned, and he did not like repeating himself.
jihyun sighed, bending down slightly as he focused the camera towards jumin.
jumin didn't pose but maintained his posture, taking a sip of wine.
he waited for any directions or comments at all on what he should do.
jihyun hummed, it wasn't an approving hum necessarily, there was no tone at all.
jihyun got up, kneeling down in front of jumin.
"let's see how comfortable you are, then." jihyun turned jumin's face with his hand cupping his cheeks.
jihyun directed jumin's head to face to the right slightly, before his hand trailed down to his button-up shirt.
jihyun unbuttoned a couple, stopping right above his belly button, causing jumin to stiffen slightly at the cold touch.
he grabbed the wine glass, a little bit of wine still remaining at the bottom, and emptied it onto jumin's chest.
jumin shivered, his head falling back instinctively as he squirmed at the feeling. jihyun observed the way the wine trailed down the ridges of jumin's defined abs.
"give me your hand." jihyun extended his hand, to which jumin placed his own in after regaining his composure.
jihyun lifts jumin's arm up to rest his elbow against the armrest of the seat, before pouring the last couple drops down his arm.
jumin clenched his jaw, trying to keep his hand stable as he felt the cold wine run down his forearm.
jihyun slipped the stem of the cup in between jumin's index and middle fingers, making him hold the bowl of the glass with his palm.
"hold that pose." jihyun quickly went back behind the camera, jumin trying desperately to maintain his position.
a slight flush spread across his cheeks, a twinge of embarrassment at how he must've looked like.
another hum came from jihyun, however still with no connotations.
the camera flashed a couple of times.
"do you want to do anything?" jihyun asked. jumin assumed he was asking him to pose.
jumin stared down at himself, taking in his appearance. his face flushed an even redder shade.
a pose...
as if he was possessed, jumin immediately ducked his head down to his arm, sticking his tongue out to lick off the wine from his wrist.
another hum, almost a breath, emerged from jihyun, however this one was noticeably approving, camera flashing a few times.
jumin's face was almost tomato red at this point, both from the embarrassment and because of the alcohol taking its course.
"look at the camera for me." jihyun said, and jumin quickly obliged, turning his arm and head to the left a little.
"i will admit, you're bolder than i expected you to be." jihyun commented continuing to take pictures, camera now off the stand as he moved around the room for different angles.
"i wonder how far i can push that boldness."
"i wonder how much you'll be willing to do."
jihyun's noticeable darker tone in his voice sent a shiver down the raven's spine.
this style of photo taking was something jumin took into consideration of being what jihyun did with rika, but he was still inexperienced. he also still wasn't sure how far he went with rika, and how far he'd go with him.
jihyun scrolled through the photos. "you have a knack for it. there's an innocence about you in these photos, a far cry from rika."
"maybe it's because of your naïveté in this kind of photography, but under proper guidance, there is so much we could capture with that sweet innocence."
jumin's breaths grew shaky. it'd be a lie to say he wasn't a bit nervous.
jihyun placed his camera down gently on a nearby stool and grabbed a couple of tissues, kneeling in front of jumin and wiping down his arm and chest.
"what... what next?" jumin found it hard to focus on jihyun cleaning him up and therefore resorted to looking at the wine glass he'd placed back on the table.
jihyun discarded the tissues at some corner of the room, picking up his camera. "i've made up my mind. follow me."
jumin warily rose from his seat, stretching his legs and arms before following behind jihyun.
the fact that they were heading towards jihyun's bedroom didn't help jumin's nerves.
jihyun entered the bedroom, holding the door open for the raven, to which the other entered shyly.
closing the door behind him, jihyun approached the bed, standing in front of it.
jumin watched jihyun's actions warily, waiting for instructions.
"get on the bed." jihyun said simply as he fixed his lens.
it still caught jumin off guard even though he expected it, walking towards the bed after a gulp.
he climbed onto the bed, sitting at the center with his legs crossed awkwardly, fiddling with his fingers as he watched jihyun fix his lens.
he was often confident and poised, but in this situation he felt so nervous and vulnerable. he always knew exactly what he got himself into and was always prepared, but he was now just blindly following jihyun's instructions like a lost puppy.
"anything you have in mind, at all?" jihyun asked, turning jumin's attention to him.
"not... not really. i'm still not totally sure what you've done with rika and how i go about re-enacting it." jumin said. he hated being so clueless.
jihyun chuckled. "don't worry. i'll help you through it."
"now, close your eyes."
jumin blinked. "pardon?"
"trust me. close your eyes."
jumin sighed. "alright."
jumin heard some shuffling and felt the bed move, assuming that jihyun was now on the bed with him.
he flinched when he felt something silky wrap around his eyes.
"jihyun?" he called out.
"i'm here. just relax, don't worry." jihyun was close. very close.
jumin felt the man's breath on his neck.
jumin tensed at the sensation. "are you blindfolding me?"
"mhm." jihyun answered.
"did you do this with rika as well?" jumin asked after a moment of pause, unsure of what to say.
"i did." jihyun said before continuing. "if you're wondering, i'm planning on doing everything i did with rika with you."
that shook jumin, and he shuffled in his place.
jihyun noticed and sighed, sending shivers down jumin's body.
"this is your last chance, jumin. are you sure you want to continue?"
jumin let out a shaky exhale. "yes. i'm... i'm sure."
"i'll give you props for your bravery. how far do you think that'll take you tonight?"
the way jihyun said that was far too ominous for jumin's liking.
jumin remained silent, waiting for jihyun to make his next move.
he felt disoriented, not being able to see anything but hearing and feeling jihyun's presence.
"hands behind your back." jihyun said before jumin heard more shuffling.
jumin moved his hands behind his back, not sure how he was feeling about where this was going.
he felt a similar silky ribbon wrap around his wrists before squeezing tight, locking his arms in place.
"alright then. let's get started, shall we?"
jumin jumped when he felt lips on his neck.
the lips, belonging to jihyun, trailed kisses down jumin's neck, before he started nibbling at a spot.
jumin bit his lip, frustrated by the lack of freedom caused by his tied hands.
"jihyun- ah.. what are you-"
he felt the older smile against his lips. "relax. think of it as improving the photo."
"what? i don't- ngh!"
jumin's head fell back as jihyun sinked his teeth into his skin.
he tried to suppress any noises, squirming under jihyun's mouth.
jihyun continued to work on jumin's neck, biting, sucking and licking, leaving jumin a writhing mess as he tried to maintain his dignity.
he moved back, smiling at the reddish purple marks he'd littered on jumin's neck.
he'd quite like to see how the younger would hide them at work.
he looked up at jumin, admiring his flushed face and parted lips, chest panting and body shaking.
it was a beautiful scene, a stark contrast to his normal put-together demeanor.
it still wasn't enough though. jihyun had many plans in mind.
"j-jihyun?" jumin called out, noticing the pause in action.
jihyun chuckled at the clueless tone, lifting his hand to hold jumin's neck, pulling him down towards jihyun.
jihyun wrapped his lips around jumin's, gently moving his lips against the younger's.
"mmn..." jumin relaxed against jihyun's lips, returning the kiss.
jihyun ran his hand through jumin's hair, gripping his head as he guided jumin deeper into the kiss.
the older bit down hard on jumin's lower lip, causing an immediate whine to come out of him.
jumin felt jihyun smile against his mouth, causing him to flush further in embarrassment.
he continued to work on jumin's lips, sucking and biting and eliciting a variety of noises from jumin much to his dismay.
jihyun pulled away after a few minutes, completely moving away from jumin to admire his work.
jumin was positively disheveled. face flushed in a dark shade of red, lips swollen, wrinkled clothes and unkept hair.
jumin almost whined at the extended loss of contact, at this point ignoring the concern of how pathetic he must've looked.
"hold that pose for me." jihyun whispered before quickly returning to his camera, taking a few rapid shots of jumin.
jumin bit his lip at the sound of the camera. "mmh... that's embarrassing..."
jihyun smiled. "you look beautiful. so innocent and pretty for me."
jumin felt himself grow aroused at the praise, continuing to move around in his place, already wanting jihyun's hands on him again.
he hated how he already felt so empty without jihyun's touch.
he felt the bed shake again, and he hated how he twitched in excitement.
jihyun skillfully unbuttoned the rest of jumin's shirt, taking it off his torso.
he loosened the ribbon on jumin's wrists, allowing the shirt to fall off before he tied them together again.
jihyun sat close, jumin being able to feel the man's legs on his.
he ran his hands down jumin's sides, settling on his waist.
"you're so beautiful."
jumin panted heavily, unable to think of a proper response.
his brain was a plate of scrambled eggs at this point.
he pushed jumin back gently, making him lean against the headboard, almost horizontal.
he pressed his lips onto the raven's chest, littering gentle kisses down his body.
jumin squirmed at the soft feeling, still trying his hardest to keep any noises in.
jihyun could taste the faint wine on jumin's stomach.
"ah- are you sure... this is for the picture?" jumin asked.
jihyun chuckled. "well, i will admit there's a little bit of personal enjoyment in it now."
"jihyun!" jumin scolded, although he didn't seem very threatening in his current position.
"what, do you not approve?" jihyun taunted with a smug grin that jumin knew was on his lips even without his sight.
he let out a low grumble with no further words.
the older paused at the waistband of jumin's pants, smiling to himself as his fingers dragged them down.
"ah- jihyun...!" jumin felt the drag and perked up.
"shh, calm down." jihyun rubbed his waist gently in a form of comfort, continuing to drag the garment off his legs with his other hand.
"you're doing so well for me, jumin." his sultry tone was unmistakable, only growing jumin's arousal.
jumin shivered, the nakedness he felt unsettling him, especially in front of someone else.
jihyun brushed his hand across jumin's clothed shaft, causing the latter to jerk forward with a gasp.
"sensitive, are we?"
every sentence that came from jihyun's mouth paired with his suggestive tone make jumin flush a shade redder.
jihyun eyed the raven's briefs before glancing back up, reaching out to rub jumin's face.
"are you sure you want this?"
jumin leaned in against jihyun's palm. "i want this. there's no going back now, anyway."
jihyun cocked his head to the side with a grin. "didn't know you were so submissive, jumin."
jumin immediately pulled his head away from jihyun's hand, his body basically burning hot. "mmh... shut the fuck up..."
"alright, alright, i'll stop teasing." jihyun found the reaction adorable.
jihyun stripped the raven of his final piece of clothing, revealing his twitching cock leaking with precum.
jihyun leaned down and planted a small kiss on the tip, sending a shiver down the raven's body.
"could you do something for me?" jihyun asked as he leaned behind jumin.
"mm... what is it?" jumin felt his wrists being untied.
there was shuffling before the bed squeaked again, indicating jihyun had gotten off.
"touch yourself."
"w-what?"
jumin felt his dick twitch at the statement which jihyun noticed.
with a chuckle, he responded. "i'm the photographer. it's gonna be hard to take pictures if i'm the one doing the pleasuring."
jumin chewed on his inner lip. "you want me to... touch myself? in front of you?"
"precisely. soon enough, you forget i'm even there. it'll be simple, you've had to have done it before, right?"
he had. once, maybe twice. he was still very inexperienced. he didn't want to embarrass himself.
"will you be taking photos?" jumin flushed at the thought.
jihyun fixed his lens, chuckling at the question. "well, that's the point of this, jumin. don't tell me you just wanted to have sex with me?"
"t-that's not what i meant." jumin immediately stammered out.
"come on,"
"impress me."
jumin paused for a moment, his ears turning red as he spread his legs a little wider shyly.
he heard the camera click, and he bit down on his lip.
he brought a wary hand down to his member, wrapping his palm around it carefully.
he placed his other hand behind him, leaning back to shift his weight as his hand moved up and down.
"hah..." he tried to keep his calm, his body jerking up with every thrust of his hand.
he hears the camera a couple times, along with some approving hums over his own noises.
his breathing fastened, his head running, trying to pull itself together.
it was a last resort, he likes to think, but he thought of jihyun.
it's not unusual, the man was watching him masturbate.
his slender hands, fingertips dotted with calluses, fingertips that he wanted to run down his body.
he slipped out a handful of quiet gasps and moans at the thought, imagining his own hand as the older's.
he wanted those calloused hands gripping his waist, pounding into him and fucking him senseless.
he wanted those strawberry pink lips all over his cock, licking and sucking, pleasuring him and leaving him a moaning mess.
"ngh... fuck..." he released his lips, now letting moans fall out of his mouth helplessly.
his pace sped up, the faint noise of jihyun's camera clicking being drowned out by his own lewd sounds.
he threw his head back, lower body trembling at the sheer pleasure coursing through him.
throughout it all, his mind never left the idea of jihyun, and how he wanted jihyun on him more than anything else.
he wanted jihyun inside him, more than he'd wanted anything else.
"ah.. fuck... jihyun..." his lips finally uttered the name of the man he was craving, and once it slipped out it became the only thing he knew.
"jihyun.. ngh.. jihyun..." he muttered, almost a chant, noises getting louder and bolder as his hand sped up, his thighs thrusting up with a speed he didn't know he was capable of.
"you're doing so well, jumin." he heard jihyun say, and he whined at the praise.
"please.. please.. fuck..." jumin gulped hard, the compliment still running through his head, the arousal shooting straight to his dick.
"please.. say that again... keep going.. hyun.." jumin gasped, pleading for more praise.
jihyun hummed, jumin could hear arousal in his voice. "maybe, but what's the secret word?"
jumin's brain was incapacitated, he couldn't think of anything for the life of him.
however, one word immediately slipped out of his mouth, a word that even if it wasn't right, he wanted to say it. he needed to.
"mmh.. daddy, please.." jumin moaned with desperation.
"mm.. you're so good. you're doing so good for daddy, aren't you?"
jumin let out a string of jumbled noises, his head filled with nothing besides jihyun.
"daddy's good little boy, hm?"
"mmh- fuck!" jumin showed a reaction to that, his body tensing as he got closer to his orgasm.
"you like that? you like being my good little boy? fucking yourself just for daddy?"
"ngh- yes, fuck yes!" jumin grew more desperate for his climax, riding his hand as his cock twitched in his palm at every praise jihyun uttered.
"then cum for me. cum all over my bedsheets, just for me to see."
"ah- fuck fuck fuck!-" his body arching as his climax approached rapidly, head swimming with the ecstasy of jihyun's honey-coated praises.
"hyun!- fuck- jihyun! jihyun, jihyun!-" he squeezed his cock tight, chanting the older's name through his release, the liquid spewing out on jumin's thighs and into the creases of jihyun's bedsheets.
he stroked the rest of it out gently, heat travelling up to his face as he rode out his high.
he panted, trying to catch his breath before he felt the bed shake.
he looked up, feeling jihyun lean behind him to untie the blindfold.
he felt the tight fabric fall off him, prying his eyes open before grimacing at the light.
it was noticeably dimmer then when he put the blindfold on, jihyun was probably playing with the lighting for the photos.
speaking of jihyun, he squinted to get his eyes to focus on the male in front of him.
once it did focus, jumin noticed jihyun's more messy and unkept appearance.
jumin liked to think jihyun himself was aroused by watching him.
before he could elaborate on his thoughts, jihyun spoke.
"you did amazing, jumin." jihyun wiped down jumin's thighs before cleaning out the sheets the best he could.
"i almost forgot i was supposed to be taking photos."
jumin smiled. "so? are you going to get back into photography?"
jihyun disposed of the tissue before looking back at jumin, bringing him into a gentle kiss.
jumin returned the kiss, sighing at jihyun's touch and soft lips.
"i think so, but you're gonna get a lot busier after work." jihyun smiled gently, and jumin chuckled.
"i'll make sure to leave some time for it, then."
jihyun ran soft kisses down the now purple toned marks on jumin's neck. "you looked so pretty in those photos."
jumin grimaced at the thought of how he must've looked. "where are you going to.. keep those?"
jihyun smiled. "don't worry. i'll keep them for our eyes only."
"if you want, i'll think of some ideas to try next time?" jumin suggested as he watched jihyun gather up jumin's discarded clothes.
"i'd like that." jihyun said after a pause. "already a professional, are we?"
jumin flushed a little. "just wanted to do good for you."
jihyun ran his palm through jumin's hair. "you're already doing amazing for me."
"now go take a shower, you're all sweaty and worn. i'll cook us up something in the meantime."
"mhm." jumin hummed, before awkwardly getting on his two feet with a slight hunch.
"you can walk, right?" jihyun chuckled at the awkward walking to the bathroom.
"i can! it's just.. i'm not used to it is all." jumin said hurriedly before stepping into the bathroom.
"looking forward to the next session, then." said the raven before shutting the door behind him.
jihyun sighed, cocking his head to the side with a grin. "looking forward to it too."
