Curtain Story: The super serious, dark, dramatic and heroic rivalry of Miles Bridgerton and Charles Bridgerton

by @orangepeelshortbreadcookies

Chapter 2 - 4.4 / 3.9

Ratings: General

Word count: 2,155

Chapter summary: In which the warring tension between our two warring factions, how do they say, intensifies. There will be fighting. There will be fire.

Miles hates his cousin Charlie. He hates his stupid face, his smiley eyes, his dumb crooked grin. He hates that Charlie can say things that he doesn’t understand. He hates that Charlie’s Eomma and Dad are just as cool as his own (it should not be possible because his parents are the coolest.) He hates that Charlie must naturally have a room on Auntie Sophie’s spaceship and he doesn’t. He hates that nobody, not even Edmund (his brother and sidekick!) allows him to kick the younger boy. Even when Miles promises that it will be the smallest, tiniest kick possible. He hates him. Hates him. Hates him.

It doesn’t take long for the feelings to be mutual.

Charlie knows Miles hates him, and instead of cowering from it, he faces Miles head on. Constantly one-upping and contradicting Miles, much to the aggravation of the older boy. Their altercations usually unfold as such:

“My Amma makes the best dosa. I get all five of the chutneys.” Miles declared, arms crossed, rather smugly. They are still getting to know each other. There is no way Auntie Sophie can be as good of a cook as his Amma. Amma makes the best food.

Charlie pushes the truck Cousin Auggie let him borrow, back and forth, on the ground, and calmly responds:

“Eomma makes the best rice cakes, seongpyeon. She makes them with seven colours. They also have honey inside.”

Belinda perks up at Miles.

“Miles! You like honey!”

“No I don’t.” He denies. He is actually very curious. “My Amma makes the best matar paneer. It is very creamy.”

“Eomma makes me lunch boxes with all the stuff.” Charlie says, still the picture of perfect nonchalance. “She makes the rice look like a bunny and the eggs look like a bow and my Dad cuts the carrots into stars.”

Belinda claps her hands together.

“Oh that is so cute! I want to see it!” A little lisp escapes from her.

“No you don’t!” Miles exclaims. Then he glares at Charlie in disbelief. “You’re lying.”

Belinda furrows her eyebrows at Miles.

“Don’t tell me what to do.”

“I’m not lying.” Charlie looks offended.

“Yes you are.” Miles insists. “I’ll tell. You are lying liar.”

“No I’m not!” Charlie’s face is slowly turning red. “You’re just jealous!” He points at Miles accusingly.

The other boy blinks at the acutely accurate accusation.

Belinda gasps and chimes in.

“He’s right! You are jealous.”

“No I’m not!”

“Are too!”

“I’m not!!!”

Then Charlie says something in Korean or French, and not understanding what it means irritates Miles to no end. He retaliates by calling the other boy stupid. Then the two launch into each other, fists flying, until the adults separate and put them both in time-out. By that point, both of them have been crying for a few minutes and completely forgotten what it is they were arguing about.

*********

At night, dramatically, Miles swivels and sulks in his throne, which just happens to be his Dad’s big desk chair, the fireplace crackles behind him, the glow of the flame against the darkness of the room reflects his mood. If there has been thunder as well, it would have been perfect. Eyes squinting, he reconsiders his strategy. And his opponent. Charlie. His archnemesis.

What can one do with such an adversary? How can this child show up one day and manage to garner everybody at his feet, monopolising all the attention that has taken Miles years, decades, centuries to cultivate? It cannot just be because he is cute. Fine, Miles will concede that Charlie is pretty dang cute. But he is just as cute as Charlie! No, that cannot just be it. It must be some kind of magic. Yes, this theory makes more sense. Maybe when Charlie mumbles those intelligible languages, he is actually conjuring an evil spell. Miles comes to the realisation with a start. What if his cousin Charlie is a dark sorcerer?

But no, that can’t be. Because Auntie Sophie is a scientist. Scientists and sorcerers are different, everyone knows that.

Maybe Charlie is something more.

Something more dangerous.

A scientist-sorcerer, perhaps.

A sciencerer!

A dark, mad sciencerer!

When the light turns on, Miles is snapped out of his scheming. His Amma stands by the door, one hand on her hips. She pins him with an inquiring look.

“There you are, Miles. Time for bed. What are you doing there in the dark, in your Father’s chair?”

Miles gives her his most innocent smile.

“I am, um, scheming.” Balloons! He slips. He hopes she doesn’t notice it. “I mean, I am just watching the fire.”

“Are you now?” Miles thinks Amma is trying to bite back a laugh. “I’m afraid the time of fire watching is over. You should go put your jim-jams on now.”

Before he departs for the nursery, Miles stops by Kate and gives her a great big hug.

“I love you, Amma.” His voice is muffled in her clothes as he takes in lungfuls of her soap and lily scent.

Kate blinks back tears from her eyes. Pregnancy has sent her emotions running in every direction. And her second boy is being so sweet.

“I love you, too, sweetheart. I’ll tuck you two in in a few minutes. Don’t forget to brush your teeth.”

As cliched as it is, when Kate watches the form of Miles disappearing down the hallway, she has the thought all parents have at some points regarding their children.

They grow up so fast.

There is another thing that Miles cannot tell Amma, unfortunately, as it is a matter of utmost secrecy. It is an oath that he swears to himself, rather heroically so.

Don’t worry, Amma. I will save you. I will save everybody from Cousin Charlie’s evil scimagic!

At the same time, in another household, Benedict puts back P'tit Loup aime sa petite soeur back where it belongs on the bookshelf before quietly leaving the nursery. Charlie is already sound asleep.

*******

Miles’s plan begins with the obvious.The biggest weapon in his enemy’s arsenal. Charlie Bridgerton’s cuteness.

You take away the glamour, you expose the source of the enemy’s power. You open the cover of any instrument, any machine, you reveal the workings of the mechanism within. It is true for magic, it is true for science. It must be true for Charlie, who is both. Taking away his cuteness will weaken him, or at least temporarily hamper the force of his science-spell long enough for everyone to wake up from it.

So when Charlie comes to visit Aubrey Hall with his parents that weekend, Miles gets ready.

As they are laid down next to each other for their afternoon nap that day in the nursery, Miles tries his hardest not to doze off. Instead, he holds onto his markers under his pillow for dear life.

When he is sure Charlie is not awake anymore, he quietly approaches the boy, careful not to wake up his brother, Auggie, Belinda and Caroline. Brown for earth. Blue for water. Orange for fire. White for wind but Edmund has used up all the white one so grey is for wind. Black is for space but Miles can’t find it so purple is for space. Keeping quiet, completely focused, he squiggles this way and that on Charlie’s sleeping face, in an exorcising ritual that only makes sense to Miles alone.

Satisfied with his work, he returns to his pillow and finally allows himself to take his well-earned nap. When we wake up, he thinks drowsily, hopefully, the science-spell will be broken. Things will return to how it is meant to be.

Miles drifts off to unconsciousness, smiling to himself. A vague thrill buzzes in the back of his mind and an unclassified fear settles in the pit of his stomach.

All hecks break loose after the nap.

Caroline is the first one to wake. She looks around, sees what happens to Charlie, and immediately starts screaming. Her loud voice starts the rest of the children out of their slumber. Edmund comes to, looks at her to see what the fuss is, and starts screaming too when he looks at Charlie, who is still drowsy from sleep and does not understand what is going on. Still maintaining some sort of composure are Belinda and Auggie. Belinda quickly finds a mirror so Charlie can look at his face before she too screams. A suddenly very nervous Miles sneakily hides himself behind the drapes, while Auggie runs down the hall and cries out for the adults with all the strength his little lungs can produce.

Still-groggy, overstimulated, confused, and frightened at his own reflection, little Charlie bursts into tears as the adults storm in, fully expecting a home invasion in broad daylight, but find a crying colourful boy instead.

Miles can hear from his spot behind the drape, Uncle Benedict and Auntie Sophie attempting to sooth a distraught Charlie, as well as Auntie Daphne and Uncle Simon comforting their own children. He can hear Amma talking to Edmund. But the loudest of all, is a menacing, foreboding sound that Miles hates most in the world. Cheese and rice, he thinks, I've done it now.

“MILES!!!”

It is the sound of his Dad's angry voice, the one he only uses when Edmund and he are in big, big trouble.

The boy in question feels a chill run down his spine.

Guilt and fear mix up together all confusingly. But buried underneath it all, at the centre, is a mystery Miles can’t quite solve.

How did they find out it was me?

As the only parent present not occupied with armfuls of upset children who need to be pacified, Anthony Bridgerton takes a quick investigative sweep about the nursery. At the empty spot on the mat where his second son has inhabited earlier, the pillow has been kicked away, probably by Miles himself during the panic. The shuffle reveals two markers, orange and grey, both uncapped, their ink bleeds onto the mat and into the fabric of the pillow. Curiously, Miles is not among the crying children. And when Anthony’s eyes catch two little socked feet peeking out from under the blackout curtains, there is no doubt in his mind who the culprit of this madness is.

There is no answer, however, after he has called his name.

"Come out here this instant, Miles." Anthony's tone is low, warning. "I can see you."

Silence. Then he sees some movement underneath the velvet. It looks like Miles is wiping his hand over his face. Oh shit, Anthony wonders, Is he crying? And his anger immediately melts away at the thought. Did I raise my voice too much? Did I scare him? Anthony is reminded how it must have been like for his own father, going through this six times over, before his untimely death.

He shakes himself out of the sentiment. He forces himself to harden his resolve once more. He has been through this with his brother Gregory. He is still going through it with Edmund. He can do the same with Miles. Children need discipline as well as affection. They need to learn. No matter how sweet and sad they look. And Anthony knows as well as Miles does, that the four-year-old can be very persuasive.

“Step away from the curtain, son.” Anthony tries again, his voice has become softer. They can try to solve this as gently as possible.

Any planned attempt on that front, however, is dead from its conception in Anthony’s brain, as Miles steps out from behind the curtains and reveals himself.

The entire room turns dead silent as they look at Miles. Even the victim, little Charlie, stops his sobbing momentarily.

Across his son’s face, disappearing under the tufts of dark hair over his forehead, are marker drawings. Blue, purple and brown. Long, disorganised lines, a lot of them paralleling as if Miles has used two or all three markers at the same time. Unlike the number he has done on his cousin’s face, which consists of deliberate flourishes and meditated use of colours, this is the product of pure panic thinking. Anthony can spy the markers peering out of his pocket.

“It was a thief!” Miles says. His arms spread out in exclamation. There is even more ink on his hands. “A thief got in and drew on our faces when we were sleeping. He said he wanted to mark the children before he kidnapped them. I lured him away before he could get to the others!”

For a moment, Anthony is speechless. His head drops to his chest, mentally counting to 10 as he tries to regulate his breathing.

From behind him, Anthony hears Simon let out a snort.

“Don’t, Basset.” Miserably, he turns to his best friend and mutters under his breath. “Don’t you dare.”

It is the closest Anthony will ever come to begging outside of his bedroom.

6 Must Have Food On Chuseok

1. Songpyeon

Chuseok wouldn’t be the same without Songpyeon. These are small rice cake that are traditionally steamed on pine needles. They are shaped like crescent which symbolises future prosperity and come in vibrant colors such as pink, orange, and green. Songpyeon is usually served for dessert as they contain sweet filling like red beans or brown sugar.

2. Pajeon

While commonly referred to as Korean Scallion pancakes, the word pajeon actually comes from pa meaning scallions and jeon which refers to food that is pan-fried in batter. Although there are different types of pajeon such as the haemul pajeon (seafood scallion pancakes), the plain version is traditionally served at Chuseok. It is best eaten with a simple dipping sauce made of soy sauce, vinegar and toasted sesame seeds.

3. Perilla Leaf Jeon

Perilla leaf jeon consists of meat filling wrapped in a perilla leaf that is folded into half and then dipped into a seasoned egg batter before pan frying. Perilla leaves are type of herb that is commonly eaten with meat at places like Korean barbeque restaurants. Its minty taste help balance the greasiness of barbequed meat.

4. Wanjajeon

Wanjajeon are mini meat patties made of beef, pork, or both that are dripped into egg batter and then pan fried. Korean often call these dong-geu-rang-ttaeng which roughly translates to “circle coin” due to its small and round appearance. While wanjajeon was customarily only eaten during festive season like Chuseok, it is commonly included in everyday lunch boxes nowadays.

5. Galbijjim

Galbijjim refers to Korean braised short ribs. It is often made with beef short ribs although pork ribs work just as well. While it was once regarded as a dish eaten only by the wealthy, today galbijjim can be eaten during festive holidays or special occasions such as birthdays and weddings.

6. Tri Colored Namul

Namul refers to seasoned vegetables that are eaten as side dishes with regular meals. These serve to balance out the heavier dishes eaten during Chuseok. Tri-colored namul is made of different types of seasoned veggies in 3 colors - green, black, or brown, and white. The most traditional combination consists of sigeumchi namul (seasoned spinach), seasoned Korean bellflower roots and seasoned Korean bracken/fernbrake.

Homecooking [June ed]

Hello all~

Another month, another homecooking post.

I have failed my reading again this month -.-” I’m close but not quite. .. As a result, I am falling behind my reading goal for 2002, which is reading 15 books in this calendar year. The one I’m reading right now is #7. I guess I’m not too behind but. .. I was doing so well in the first quarter!!

Anyway, homecooking dishes below:

Rice O_O with my mom’s braised pork, some sort of melon & fried tofu. Topped with seaweed :D

This is too much for 1 meal?? I don’t know. .. I felt it was a good amount. It’s avocado toast (literally, half an avocado + toast) lol & beef pesto pasta, with some mini cucumber slices.

Refilled my container of furikake with this one.

Various fish cakes + fish tofu + napa cabbage rice noodles.

My family ordered pizza from Domino’s bcos they were doing a promo. I forgot what the promo was but my bro got 2 2-topping pizzas.

This one was the pepperoni + Italian sausage.

Here’s the ham + mushroom.

Needless to say, I preferred the pepperoni + Italian sausage one haha crust was good too!

Silly me got this from Amazon. I don’t know what possessed me to buy it. .. I did night shifts XD anyway, I do not have a Tassimo so this pod was not suitable for my Keurig mini. However, I have pourover coffee filters! :D so I emptied the contents into those. Each pod for 1 cup. The coffee was good!

Breakfast: cheesestring, hard-boiled egg, crackers, with the fig jam. & can’t forget the coffee.

One of my lunches using the mushroom + sage olive oil from Evoolution. I basically tossed the ingredients with the olive oil with some garlic & parmesan powder. Yum!

Meal at work during night shift. .. This was so satisfying at 0230h lol

The 1st time I saw this design on the side of a Pepero box :O

At first glance, I thought this was Thai but it’s clearly not. . . Thanks to my friend who looked it up for me, this is Burmese. So random!!!

Pan-fried perogies are the best.

Kimchi pancake. The kimchi for this one was made by my coworker’s mom! Authentic homemade Korean kimchi just hits differently <3

. . . I did not like the texture of these . . . =/ it’s so weird!! I should try this in soup next time. Seriously, it was like. .. weird.

Oyster omelette. I’m getting better at making this!

Sundae-jjigae :O !! Why hadn’t I thought of this before? lol for the soup, I used: kimchi, salted shrimp sauce, chicken broth, & some green onions. This was REALLY good!

& here’s the last sundae in my bag of 4. I replicated what I made earlier in the month, ie: just regular sundae-guk that was perilla seed powder-based.

Below photos x5 were from father’s day dinner:

Prime rib~

Homemade bread

Veggies

Instapot pork with bro’s “speciality sauce”

Salad (featuring a corner of my appetizer)

Beef rice noodles <3

Dumpling sujebi. Finally picked up some more sujebi from Hmart wooooot!

Cold noodles. I remember last week during this week, we had like the hottest weather but it was been surprisingly quite cool this year. *knock on wood* let’s keep it that way! I really don’t like hot weather.

Believe it or not, this was my BREAKFAST (~0830h) after night shift haha was this too much??! It’s a bowl of butter chicken ‘soup’ (that I added some frozen spinach to), a fried egg, & a piece of naan bread.

I hope I don’t have any more nights this year. I should be done. .. I do less than most ppl so I’m grateful but I just don’t like them. However, I personally prefer night shift over evening shift, which is from 4pm-midnight. I feel like I have so much more time when working night shifts haha

Thur, September 28th: Today marks the first day of Chuseok holidays. School and restaurants around the school zone have started closing earlier than usual as Koreans prepare for tomorrow's festivities. Although international students don't have classes today, I spent the day in an integration class, learning from dawn till dusk.

This is our third lecture, and I'm gradually getting to know most of the 20 people in the class, who come from 11 different countries around the globe. I'm thrilled to have made many new friends, including Indonesians, Mexicans, and fellow Vietnamese. All of them are incredibly kind and friendly.

We studied from early morning until noon, and then we had an hour-long break for lunch. We usually go to the convenience store to buy lunch since two of my friends are Muslim, and it's challenging for them to find suitable food outside, given that most of it contains pork or pork-derived products. I remember when we first met, they kindly gave me a bottle of water, so I returned the gesture with a box of jelly. However, after checking the ingredients, they discovered some compounds derived from pig, which was embarrassing. To make amends, I bought a chocolate bar as a token of apology. We typically eat at the self-study corner and chat during lunch.

Today, we discussed famous places in Vietnam and Mexico. They expressed their interest in visiting the Cu Chi tunnels in Vietnam due to their unique underground architecture. We also asked the Mexican girl about her hometown and the history of Mexico. Thanks to my years of studying history, I managed to keep up with the conversation.

More than that, today was the first time I had the chance to wear Korean traditional clothing, something I've been eager to do during my two years of studying in Korea. I also took many photos with my friends, hoping to share them on my Instagram timeline.

Yesterday, I mentioned to my sister that I was in the mood for mooncakes. It seems like my wish was granted because many students brought mooncakes to class for everyone to taste, from Chinese to Vietnamese varieties. I had already informed my Korean teacher that I'm a Ph.D. student, but today she asked me again if I was an undergraduate or graduate student. It appears that she might find it hard to believe that I'm a Ph.D. student. After class, she asked me to help erase the board and gave me some cake. Even though communicating with her can be cumbersome because I'm not fluent in Korean, I hope that in the future, I'll become more confident in speaking like a native speaker. I think that's quite ambitious, but at least I have a dream and a goal to pursue.

I think my local Korean market has mentaiko...

INGREDIENTS

1 pound russet potatoes (about 2 whole large potatoes), peeled and cut into large chunks

Salt

2 eggs

1 tablespoon rice vinegar, plus more to taste

2 teaspoons sugar

1 small Japanese or Persian cucumber, or ½ an English cucumber (about 4 ounces), quartered lengthwise, seeds removed and discarded, and thinly sliced

1 small carrot (2 to 3 ounces), quartered lengthwise and thinly sliced

½ cup thawed frozen corn kernels or briefly boiled fresh corn kernels (optional)

¼ cup chopped radish (about 2 radishes; optional)

2 scallions, thinly sliced

5 tablespoons Kewpie mayonnaise (see Tip), plus more to taste

1 whole sac mentaiko or tarako (about 2 ounces)

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste

Freshly ground black pepper

PREPARATION

In a medium saucepan, cover the potatoes with cold water by at least 1 inch. Add a few big pinches of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Gently lower the eggs into the pot. Cover, reduce to a bare simmer, and cook until the potatoes are tender and show no resistance when pierced with a knife or cake tester, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander and spread in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Immediately sprinkle with vinegar and sugar. Set aside until completely cool, at least 15 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and peel when completely cool.

Meanwhile, toss the cucumber with a big pinch of salt in the bottom of a large bowl and set aside until the potatoes are cool.

When the potatoes are cool, add them to the bowl with the cucumber and lightly mash with the back of a fork until some bite-size chunks still remain.

Add carrot, corn, radish, scallion, mayonnaise, mentaiko, lemon zest and juice. Squeeze the hard-boiled eggs through your clean fingers to break them up, or chop them with a knife and add them to the salad. Stir together and season with pepper, more salt, sugar, vinegar, lemon juice or mayonnaise, or a combination, to taste.

TIP

Kewpie is a Japanese brand of mayonnaise with a thicker texture, and tangier, more umami flavor, though any mayonnaise you prefer will work in this recipe.

What was the filling in the last doughnut you ate? Cream. I typically would never have filled doughnuts, but when my mom and I went to a Krispy Kreme drive-thru after work last Wednesday they were about to close and had none of the original glazed left hahaha. Only the strawberry variants and a few cream-filled ones remained, so we got those; anyway, the cream-filled one I had was fine but I think what saved it for me is the chocolate glaze on top and not the actual fillng, since I still didn’t like it.

Do you remember what you had for dinner on Saturday evening? My mom made Filipino-style spaghetti and fried a few sticks of dynamite.

When was the last time you bought a new pair of shoes? What kind/colour? It was a pair of Lacoste sneakers for my mom, as a Christmas gift. It’s white.

Do you own any items of clothing that you’ve never worn? Probably. I try to wear everything at least once, but I think I just have a few pieces that I think are already outdated and just haven’t gotten around to throwing out or giving away.

When you shop for new clothes, do you ask anyone else for an opinion? Nope. I just pick out whatever I want (in the rare times I do buy clothes).

What was the last thing that you considered buying, but chose not to? I wanted to get food delivery last Thursday as a reward for finishing the week, but I had already gone out the day before and bought lots of food then so I fought the urge.

Who was the last person you were required to buy a gift for? Liara, during her birthday back in April.

^And what did you choose? I got her this cute box of mini-cakes. She lives quite far from me so I wasn’t actually familiar with any of the restaurants in her area when I was picking what food to get her, so I just went with one of the highest-rated shops haha. I hope she and her family liked it though.

Have you ever accidentally bought someone a gift that they already had? Not that I know of. If I have before, they’ve never told me. Can you recall the last time you bought flowers for someone? What kind? Genuiely cannot remember.

And when was the last time someone sent flowers to you? What kind? No one’s ever sent me flowers, but the evening before my birthday Angela invited me out to dinner at our favorite Korean place and she greeted me with a gorgeous bouquet of sunflowers.

Are you a keen reader? If so, what books are you planning to read soon? I haven’t read in years. I did go inside a Fully Booked last week because I wanted to see what book I can get so I can jump right back into reading; but the book I had my eyes on - Kim Ji-young, Born 1982 - was like P800. I wasn’t planning on spending that much for a book that day so I had to place it back on the shelf, hahaha. I might come back for it someday.

How many books do you think you own? Just take a rough guess. Probably a little under 50.

Are there any books that you own more than one copy of? I have like, three copies of Twilight LOL. One is my own copy; the second one (exact same version) was given to me by a classmate; and Twilight also has a white version which Angela gave me. Lipstick, lip gloss, or neither? Neither. I don’t like makeup and if I do have to put some on, I never put anything on my lips.

What brand of mascara do you use, if any? I don’t use mascara. I’ve always liked the way my eyelashes naturally look and have never really felt the need to glam them up.

What was the last minor disappointment that you experienced? Running out of lives on In the Seom, hah.

What scent does your hand sanitizing gel have? Just a normal alcohol-like scent.

What does your favourite mask look like, if you have a favourite? I don’t have a favorite. I also never saw the appeal of aesthetic masks; they’re just simply necessities to me so I’ve only ever worn KN95s and surgical masks for the most part.

Do you remember what you had for lunch last Sunday? I had spicy tuna wraps from S&R. I remember having late lunch that day because we had to finish grocery shopping first, so I was so hungry I opened up my Pringles can as soon as the cashier scanned it, even though we were still at the payment aisle HAHAHA. Anyway, my main meal was the wraps which I wolfed down in the car on the way home.

Is there a bottle anywhere close to you? What does it contain? Yes, I have the BTS edition of Hope in a Bottle on my desk. It’s empty now, but as with all BTS stuff I get I keep them as souvenirs.

As a child, what was a trait or habit you had that annoyed your parents? I was extremely messy and my mom always had to clean up my school bag at least once a week since I didn’t care for school work and just smushed in my textbooks and folders and notebooks and activity sheets in a cluttered pile.

What was the last TV series that you watched for the first time? Happiness. It’s a Korean thriller/drama series about an infectious disease that suddenly spreads in the city and how a couple of police officers work together to try containing and eliminating it altogether.

^And what did you think of it? Loved it. Honestly though, I feel like my opinion of it may also have been partly influenced by the fact that I watched it primarily to serve as distraction from the depressing election results...but idk, I’m pretty sure I would still enjoy it all the same if I give it a rewatch. I don’t think I could dislike anything Hyungsik is in, hehe.

Tell me about something you did within the last week, that brought you joy. Went to Pinto. The amount of people who were there SOLELY to take photos irked me, but I tried hard not to judge and focused on enjoying my time there.
