CHAPTER) 6

"Boys, welcome back." Tay greeted with a grin as they returned to the room.

Just as Bright had predicted Carson was nowhere in sight.Instead, Win's sight felt on a guy that stood beside Tay.

He looked to be in his mid-twenties, Win was surprised yet appreciative of the guy's happy aura.
The contrast between him and Carson was hilarious, though Win wasn't entirely sure whether he should laugh or cry.

Tay seemed to have noticed Win's lane of sight and gestured to beside him.

"This is Nathan, your new photographer." Nathan grinned at the introduction and stepped towards the two.

He held out his hand for Win to shake and without much thought he did . Win didn't miss the way his finger lingered longer than it should but he didn't think too much of it.

"Greetings should be kept short." Bright claimed, eyes not leaving their conjoined fingers.

Nathan nodded before moving his hand to Bright, Bright simply stared at it before giving the boy a once over.Nathan dropped his arm to his side, realising Bright had no intention of shaking it.

" Well, let's get on with the shoot shall we?" He walked towards his camera station.

Win didn't know why Bright was acting soo belligerent, as far as he could tell Nathan seemed like a pretty chill guy.
****
The next 30 minutes seemed to go by so quickly.
Win no longer felt incapable or unable to fulfil his role as a model. Nathan unlike Carson, acknowledged Win, made him feel like he was doing okay.Win was brought out of his thoughts by the presence in front of him.

Nathan beamed at him before rubbing his shoulders.
"You did soo amazing Win, good job." Win grinned back unable to contain his joy at being praised.

He was insulted the whole day, Nathan made him feel like he could breathe again.Like that weight on his heart of being incompetent and useless was all meaningless. Since he was doing okay, he was doing the right thing in Nathan's eyes.

"Can we leave?" Win almost gasped at how irritated Bright sounded.

He was quiet the whole shoot, not that he needed to say anything.Nathan blinked before meeting Bright's eyes.

"Oh, yeah-yeah you can." Bright nodded before turning away.

Win opted to follow him but was pulled to a stop by Nathan's strong grip on his arm.As if feeling Win's questioning Bright turned around his gaze immediately shifting to the boy's hand on Win's arm.
Feeling Bright's disapproving stare he removed his hands from Win.

"Um, I-I was actually hoping we could meet up tomorrow to browse through the photos." He rubbed his neck struggling to meet Win's eyes. Win observed with concern at the redness of the boy's face.

" Are you okay Nathan? You look like you have a fever." Win attempted to reach out for the boy's face but his hand was swatted away.

"He's fine. He just needs a cold shower." Bright retorted, glaring at him.

Win felt himself being pulled flush against Bright's body. His heart began beating simultaneously, his body feeling hot.

"B-bright." Win started, struggling to form coherent words.

"We're leaving." Bright's condescending tone left no room to protest.

Win couldn't stop staring at Bright's eyes, red specks glared down at him daring him to refuse. Win nodded, feeling weak.

"W-win are you okay." Nathan's worried tone brought him out of his trance as he faced him.

"I-I'm fine. I just-"
