Kana arrives at Vin's studio with their lunches in hand. He goes in and greets the receptionist before asking whether the owner is inside. Once he gets a nod from the staff, Kana utters his thanks and goes into the studio to immediately spot Vin who's casually sitting on the sofa at the corner of the room, waiting for the staffers to finish the setup.

Vin notices him and greets him before gesturing to come close, "Hey, you've made it. Come, sit here." Vin pats his side, motioning Kana to sit beside him. 

The younger one obliges, going to the sofa and taking a seat and giving Vin his lunch, "The usual. Fried rice."

"Sweet, you're the best." Vin happily accepts as he takes a peek inside while holding the urge to devour the delicious food before lunchtime. 

Kana chuckles and he shifts his gaze to the staffer as they are still busily doing the setup, "Is it a big project?" the young writer asks nonchalantly.

"Yeah, he's a big shot in the photography world. He usually takes street photography though. This time he wants to focuses on people's expression without any background meddles in the shot. That's why he rent the studio." Vin explains to the young writer who silently nods at him.

"What's the photographer's name?" Kana asks.

Vin was about to answer when someone loudly gasps at them, turning both of their heads to the source of the voice. There, Kana saw the familiar photographer who he rudely left at the cafe a month ago. Kana is a bit taken aback but smiles politely at the photographer, "Good morning." 

Mike was gawking at first, but he immediately close his mouth before turning it into a wide smile as he approaches his muse, "I've been looking for you! Never thought I will see you here." He excitedly smiles at Kana.

Kana tilts his head and looking at the photographer confusedly, "Why are you looking for me?" and at the same time, Kana can sense his best friend tensing up, an automatic mechanism for protective Vin.

Mike seems not to notice Vin's alertness as he's too busy paying attention to the beautiful person in front of him, "Well, I want to ask you to be a model in my project. But I couldn't find you anywhere. Adding that I don't even know your name."

Kana smiles politely at him, "I apologize but I don't like to be in front of the camera. Even if you did find me before this and ask, my answer will still be the same."

Mike nods in understanding, "Yes, I understand. I knew you will reject it. But, I just can't help but ask you for the offer. So, what are you doing here?"

"I want to do a little bit of an interview with the photographer here because I'm currently writing a book with a photographer as the protagonist. My friend here, Vin, give me the opportunity to do it. So I guess the photographer is you, isn't it?" Kana answers.

"Well, you can say that. I'm willing to, but I can't do it for free. Will you rethink my offer?" Mike answers back, "If you let me take your pictures for just 5 minutes, I will gladly do the interview. What do you think?"

"But I don't know how to pose." Kana reasons out to politely declines again. 

Mike folds his muscular arms before replying, "You don't need to pose. My project is about natural expression. So it'll be easy. What do you say?"

Kana tries to find reasons to reject the request, but it seems Mike insists as the latter persuades again, "I promise, you just need to sit while I do the rest. Please? It would be a great help if you agree."
