Photos with meaning

      Jungwon lost interest in higher mathematics at the beginning of the year, so now he is struggling to understand at least something of what the teacher says. Soon, Yang gives up this activity and is distracted by his phone. The first thing he sees on the lock screen is a message from Sunghoon. Park invites a sophomore to sit at his house tonight. Jungwon quickly agrees and immediately logs into Instagram. Flipping through the recommendation feed, he did not notice how the pair ended.       Math is always the last thing on Friday, so Jungwon is in a hurry to get home like never before. He maintains an account dedicated to his life on Instagram. And at exactly nineteen thirty, Yang has to post a new post, as it usually happens on Fridays. The guy decides not to waste time waiting for the bus and runs home on his own two feet. At such moments, he thanks his parents for allowing him to rent his own apartment and live on his own.       Ten minutes later, a breathless student is standing in the hallway of his rented apartment with his hands on his knees. - Phew, I managed it.       After taking off his jacket and shoes, Jungwon goes to the shower. He was sweating a little as he ran a few blocks away. Fortunately, at least the weather is good       After a warm shower, Jungwon feels fresh as a cucumber, despite a difficult day. After brewing the ramen, he goes to the sofa in the living room with a plate and chopsticks. From time to time, Yang glances at the wall clock, waiting for the right time. More than three thousand subscribers have been waiting for his new photos all week, so they should not be upset in any way. For today, the "unique photographer" has prepared something unusual: a smiling Jungwon shows a heart with two hands, and behind him are the Statue of Liberty and the American flag. He signed it like this: "I love America🇺🇸. But I haven't been to Seattle in two weeks there. It will need to be fixed!"       At the appointed time, the guy posts a post, and after a few seconds a notification about the first like arrives. As it turned out earlier, his subscribers specifically log into the social network a few minutes before Yang's updates in order to have time to put the first like and write the first comment.       Towards eight o'clock in the evening, Jungwon begins to get ready for Sunghoon. He usually drives up to the younger's house in his car at half past eight, and then they go together to the 24-hour supermarket in order to buy all sorts of harmful things for gatherings. Park arrived a little earlier today, so he's watching recent news on his phone while he waits for his friend. He also doesn't forget to check out Jungwon's Instagram page. - Well, wow, Yang Jungwon. You'd better write to him in plain text, - the elder laughs without malice when a friend gets into the front seat of his car. Realizing the reason for his "driver's" laughter, the younger rolls his eyes - Come on, Sunghoon. - I'm serious. Jay is a real slow-witted guy. It is difficult to convey any hints to him, - while continuing to laugh, Sunghoon does not spare this American. - I'm going to try anyway. - Well, as you know.       The car pulled away, and the friends headed to a 24-hour supermarket, which is located a few blocks from Sunghoon's apartment.       Maybe the elder is right, and Jungwon shouldn't write in riddles? The sophomore saw Jay only a few times at the parties of their mutual friend, Sunghoon, but it was enough for him to fall head over heels in love with the charming American. During this time, he gave the impression of being quite an intelligent and understanding person. Wouldn't Park understand such obvious hints? Or do they just seem obvious? For a moment, Yang thought about the meaning of his post: The Statue of Liberty is a reference to the fact that he is not in a relationship; the flag of America is an American. Probably, it's still worth trying to convey to the object of his admiration information about the guy's infatuation. Jay has been signed to Jungwon since the younger was in his senior year of high school. And he doesn't miss a single one of his posts. And he's probably already seen Yan'gs last post. Besides, Sunghoon understood everything perfectly, and the Parks have one brain for two.

      On Sunday evening, Jungwon changed the schedule of posts, which greatly pleased his subscribers (including Jay). Now they are expected every day at eight o'clock sharp.       Thanks to the new schedule, Yang spent the next week trying to convey his feelings to the senior Jay. On Monday, he posted a photo of the night view from the Rainbow Fountain Bridge. Does this not mean that he speaks directly about his orientation? Apparently, only Sunghoon understood Jungwon, who wrote a message to junior before going to bed praising him for his efforts. On Saturday, there were selfies of a sophomore with his older sister at the international airport in Incheon. Ji Hyun was invited to an internship in another country, so she asked her younger brother to accompany her, since their parents are in China. Jungwon, honestly, did not expect Jay to wish him a good flight. He just sighed resignedly, realizing that none of these hints would work, but he did not intend to give up.       The elder, who was at Sughoon's house at that moment, thought that the younger had decided to fly somewhere for the holidays, which would begin next week. He was genuinely happy for Jungwon: the sophomore would finally be able to take a break from all those endless sessions. From Sunghoon, Jay heard about how he suffered and did not sleep for days only because the teachers of Yang University do not like it when students stop talking during the answer in order to get more air into their lungs. - Poor students. How are they even still alive?       But what upset Jay in Yang's post was the girl. He didn't know about his sister, so he thought they were dating. When Park first saw a photo of a happy Jungwon and Ji Hyun showing a heart, his heart sank into his heels, and his breathing stopped for a moment. Their first meeting flashed before his eyes: Sunghoon introduced them at his party. This cute schoolboy with charming dimples immediately fell into the American's soul. When the younger one said something, he looked at him with sparkling eyes and a gentle smile. And Jay also tried to stay close to Yang all evening, which did not go unnoticed by Sughoon. By the way, the lovebirds later inundated him with questions about each other. It's so annoying.       Noticing the sudden change in his best friend's mood, Sunghoon looked at his phone, which was now lying on the couch next to him, and realized that he needed to act on his own. Therefore, he already picks up his phone and goes into a chat with Jungwon.

Jungwon, breaking news! Jay is in love with you as much as you are with him. Right now, he thinks Ji Hyun noona is your girlfriend, so he's lost his temper.

He himself will never admit to you, because he is too afraid that this could ruin your already incomprehensible relationship. Therefore, my friend, act. I believe in you!

@jw.yang Thanks for the information, hyung! I've already thought of something, so wait for updates tomorrow. I need to get ready.

@snghn.prk

I hope you will succeed!

      Next time, Jungwon posts his morning selfie with the caption: "PARK JAY, I'M NOT DATING ANYONE!!! Let's go on a date tomorrow night?" Jay will definitely see this post, be one of the first to like it, be delighted and respond to the sophomore in private messages with consent.
