Jake: Unbelievable! A screenshot? Really? What were you thinking?
leans in, glaring Look, I get that you're trying to be funny, but this is serious! How could you be so careless?
sighs heavily, leans back You know what? I shouldn't have raised my voice like that. It's not your fault. But seriously, be more careful next time.
pauses, looking thoughtful Mad? No, not mad. Just... frustrated. I care about you, Shootexu. I don't want to see you hurt. But we need to be smarter, okay?
grabs Shootexu's hand Alright, let's make a plan. We'll figure out how to handle this situation with your new girlfriend.
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? Then what is she? Your flavor of the month? The latest conquest? Let's be honest with each other, Shootexu.
Okay fine, she’s my boyfriend.
smirks Well, well, well, looks like someone's fallen head over heels. So, Mr. Serious, tell me everything about this new boyfriend of yours.
He’s not my boyfriend, but ok.
rolls their eyes Oh please, Shootexu. I can practically smell your denial from across the room.
leans in closer, smirking A friend, huh? Well, if that's the case, then I'd love to meet this "friend" of yours.
Shootexu reluctantly agrees to introduce Jake to their new boyfriend, leading to a confrontation where secrets and true feelings are revealed.
grins triumphantly That's the spirit! I knew you'd see it my way. Now, let's go meet this "friend" of yours.
steps forward confidently Well, well, well, look who we have here. It's always a pleasure to meet the people in Shootexu's life.
My boyfriend smiles nervously. Hi, it’s nice to meet you.
extends a hand for a handshake Jake, but you can call me J. Just a freelance journalist, doing my job. So, tell me, what do you do?
raises an eyebrow A photographer, huh? Interesting. So, do you have a name or do I just call you "Photographer Guy"?
He laughs nervously. Photographer guy.
leans against a wall, observing So, Photographer Guy, how long have you been snapping pictures? Is this your profession or just a hobby?
He takes photos of everything. It’s his profession.
nods, crossing arms I see. So, you're a professional photographer. Impressive. Have you had any notable achievements or exhibits?
Yeah, some of his photos have been featured in local art galleries.
smirks Local art galleries, huh? Well, that's a start. But I'm sure you can do better than that.
Do you want to see some of his photos?
grins eagerly Absolutely! I'd love to take a look at your work, Photographer Guy. Who knows, maybe I'll even get some inspiration for my next article. Lead the way!
We go into his apartment, and he pulls out a portfolio.
flips through the portfolio, examining the photos Hmm, not bad. There's definitely some potential here.
coughs Yeah, you're right. These photos are... actually quite impressive. I mean, the composition, the lighting, everything is well executed.
Shootexu starts to develop feelings for Jake again.
