TALES OF THE HEART

02.

Everything was set, cameras were on standby, staff idled around and Nanon was going over the theme once again for the tenth time now and their model Ohm was nowhere to be found.

He didn't want to burst out with frustration but if you looked closely you could tell from his facial expression that he wasn't impressed.

Nanon's work ethics included being disciplined and organised, that meant arriving on time on set and he expected the same energy from other people but clearly he wasn't going to get it from Ohm.

From their meet up yesterday, Nanon could tell that Ohm was a carefree person, and as much as Ms Gulpt and Chimon were saying he had a different attitude towards work, he was still yet to see it.

Ms Gulpt checked on them so many times, and as Ohm's manager, she was also close to losing her patience. 

There were different themes, 5 to be exact, for the fashion shoot and the first one they were supposed to be shooting was a beach themed shoot, if only their model would arrive. 

"I'll just try him one more time" 

"No need Phi, I'm here" Ohm stated with breath in between, 'I'm here"

"Why are you late? You know this was an important day" 

"Well the thing - "

"Can we please begin? We have wasted enough time"

Nanon cut through, his voice sharp leaving a certain level of awkwardness between the two.

Ms Gulpt gave Ohm a glare which later dispensed as she ushered him forward. 

Once he was dressed, Ohm went for the set. He tried to do as he was told, Nanon directed him accordingly but for some reason he was messing up the poses.

The expressions he seemed to express weren't the ones needed.

He couldn't tap into the energy that Nanon required and it was making everything difficult for him and for everyone.

Nanon let out a sigh, 

"Let's take a 5 minute break and resume," Nanon ordered. He moved to stand behind the staff in charge of editing the photos. 

"They are not bad, but they are not the best" the man stated and Nanon had to agree with him.

From the previous shoots Ohm had done, he had been amazing, even Nanon was impressed as he went through the magazines when he was figuring out the type of person he was. 

"Phi"  Nanon heard Ohm call him from behind. Setting his eyes on him, he could see the remorseful expression on his face, "Can we talk?" Nanon nodded as they took a few steps away to a more secluded corner, "I'm doing horribly aren't I?" 

He tried to avoid answering bitterly, "Nothing we can't fix" 

"I can see from your expressions that you are not impressed. I can even feel it myself that I'm doing a horrible job. The thing is, I feel weird around you, you radiate this energy that I can't tap into and if it's like that then it's going to be hard for me to understand you and what you want"

"Energy?" he frowned

"Well…. You are so focused and serious that I can't even joke with you, somehow I fail to approach you, to connect with you. I work well when I understand a person, I get to be in sync with your state of mind"

Nanon couldn't really say he didn't understand him.

He figured Ohm was the type of person to work based on people's energy, "Then what do you expect we go about it"
