The photographer(freenbecky)

Cahp 1: Introduction: Mio Ayasa

Mio Ayasa, she is a free lancer who do a lot of work at the same time. Before she focused her work as a photographer, she work as a barista at the cafe, as a cashier, as a chef at 4 star restaurants and sometime she work as a translator for english, korean and thai.

You all must be curious why she do lot of work at the same time but don't worry, all the part time work she done never reach a year. The longest job she ever had was as a barista just because she love the fact that the cafe was located beside the cyber cafe.

The fact that she was the only daughter of one of the known entertainment company, The One was hidden by public as it was the request from her to his father.

As her father adore her so much, he just accept it even he would like the world to know how proud he is toward his daughter. All the part time job that Mio done was when she was still studying and now, after she got her master in architecture, she doesn't know what to do as she doesn't want to work as full time architecture.

You can assume that architecture was one of her side job as there is a client who constantly ask for her to design their building since she was in degree so her master doesn't go wasted.

But now, the new job that she currently focused on was as photographer. She go travel if no one gonna hire her to take thier picture and share it on the social media. In 3 month, all the reels she shared and post in social media become trending as the anonymous photographer.

Her identity was still hidden as it's not her who manages all of those social media. It was her friend, Riko who manage it. Not because she doesn't have time but if not Riko who really want to share work of art that Mio capture, the world will never see how Mio see the world.

Riko who work as veterinarian at her own veterinary got a lot of time in her hands since she was so busy body asking Mio to update about her work so she can update the social media. Mio who is not as hardworking as Riko just send a bunch of the thing that she got. Doesn't care if Riko had a hard time to chose which better.

As Mio lazing in her bedroom, lying on the bed, scrolling the Instagram using her main second account which hide her true identity as who she is in the real world, account where all the people she followed is artist and no one following her, give her the advantage to post all nonsense post at her account, a massage pop up from the second number from the other phone. Phone that she use as photographer.

No one have ever been massage that number because she only share it on her blog where, there is only picture of random dog she take. Kind of surprising but she know, this is her opportunity gain experience.

'hello, we are from idol factory want to hire you to be one of our photographer for one of our small project. We will inform in advance that you will need to appear in some of the video but you don't have to reveal your face, just the way you take picture of our artist. I hope that you will interest in our offer. You can contact this number and we can arrange our meeting so that we can discuss about it more further. Thank you' Mio read the massage she got and smiled to the ear. How can her first job related to an idol. She thought it's about wedding or birthday party, she definitely not gonna let this chance go.

After she replied to the massage, she got to know that she had to fly to the Thailand as The Idol Factory was Thailand company and she felt relieved she know how to speak in thailand, well, thailand was her second home tho after Japan.

Meeting that was scheduled next week had been noted by Mio in the calendar and she has informed Riko about it, so she will not asking for her photographed picture. It will be a hassle for her if she kept it as secret. At least Riko can inform to her father if her father ask about her whareabout.

Truth to be told, her father has give up to ask her whareabout because everytime her father ask her, the answer will always be different. It's kind of weird as her father never ask her whareabout when she us at home, maybe this is what they called instinct?

The next day, Mio ready with her backpack and a beg full with camera equipment waiting for her departure from Tokyo to Bangkok.

Even she still have 3 days before the meeting, she planned to take picture of Bangkok for two days, there is still some place she missed to capture when she last came to thailand 2 month ago as she just stay for two days.

For this trip, she just brought some clothes because she own a condo there and also, she have a friend at Thailand, so she can just borrow their clothes. For them, it become norma when they suddenly saw Mio stand in front of their door.

Right before dinner time, she safely land at Bangkok, weird as there are many reporter who waiting at the waiting gate, she look back at herself, white coat with black jeans with high ankle boot, with white cap. Hope her appearance doesn't look like the artist they want to capture. Plus, she only brought backpack, no luggage bag, hmm, she hope she appear as simple as she can.

Right after she step out of the waiting gate, the camera start to hurt her eyes. ' Nooo, are they mistaken me for other artist? Or are they were at my back?' Mio whispered slowly and fastly look at her back and she sighed relieved. A really gorgeous figure, she can predict that the figure was the artist as she doesn't even wear anything to cover her face while Mio wear a cap and face mask. Well, we still on the covid era tho, nothing weird.

As she realized that she was in the way for the photographer to take a nice shot, she hurriedly walk toward the exit, find the grab she has order to bring her to her condo. Condo that always empty unless she come to the thailand. Sometimes her brother also use her condo but mostly, only the person who's in charge to keep the condo clean came. On the way to her condo, she busy searching for a place she can go tomorrow. And at the end, she fed up. Journey on the road that take almost an hour make Mio take a chance to ask the driver, maybe he know a hidden place that really beautiful.

(In Thailand)

"Sorry, sir. But do you perhaps know where the place at bangkok that look beautiful. I'm more interest if the place was a hidden treasure here." Mio speak with her fluent Thailand. Even the driver think she is local people.

"Yes, I know one place that I think worth to be appreciate. The place located behind the green building at the center of Bangkok. It was an old Cafe where only people nearby there often go there. You probably can get some nice shot there. And one more place was not far from there, there was a place for skateboarder and usually, student will go there after school hours end. And will be empty as that place was not known by others. I'm one of those who guy who go there but not anymore." The long explaination by the driver make Mio really appreciate it and she doesn't forgot to give some tips.

"Thank you, sir" say Mio before go out of the car. The sky has become peach dark as she arrived at the condo building but she can't just ignore her stomach that growl as loud as the thunder. So before she go the her unit, she go to the seven eleven to have her dinner. Unhealthy dinner but that was the best when having a cup of ramyeon when you really tired.
