The two boys looks like a college students. "If only I didn't started early, maybe I would also go to college like them," Win chuckled as he looked back to the pair.

Both seemed like the opposite of each other. In term of appearance, one was clean and neat while the other was quite messed up. One was playful while the other seemed calm. Aside from the difference they had, they got along very well.

As they walked past him, Win prepared his camera. He set the flash off so the two boys didn't realize that they got photographed. When Win felt that there's enough distance between him and the boys, he clicked his camera's button. A picture was taken, that felt ethereal. "Perfect," Win smiled as he was looking proudly at the picture.

He then packed up and walked towards parking lot nearby where he parked his car. "Can't wait to send this to Bright~" he mumbled happily.

There was traffic jam when Win drove back home, so he took a detour and went for a shortcut. On the side road, he saw a familiar figure. He looked troubled bringing a quite big box. Win opened the window to greet him.

"P'Tay!"

The older man heard his name being called, immediately looking for the source of voice. Then, he spotted a car beside him with someone suspicious waving his way. He was somehow taken aback for a moment. Fortunately he recognized Win's voice. "Win..?? What are you doing? Are you going somewhere?" P'Tay asked as he walked closer towards the car.

Win noticed the uncomfortable gaze from P'Tay, took off his mask. "Ah, this? I was hunting for pictures. Get in Phi! I will give you a ride." P'Tay agreed on his offer and proceeded to get into the car.

When he was already in a comfortable position, P'Tay continued their conversation before. "What for? Aaa.. that photography lesson thing with Bright?"

"Yes.." Win awkwardly nodded.

"You extorted too much effort you see. You're still busy with modelling and releasing clothing brand. Why do you go to this extend?"

Win smiled, "I just want to talk to him but I don't have reason to if I were myself.. I guess I'm just a coward."

After Win dropped P'Tay at his destination, the whole surrounding in his car went silent. As if it gave him a chance to think, contemplating his present. What he needed, what he wanted, and what he should do next to achieve it. "Am I doing the right thing?" He just lied once, and it already burdened his mind. 'What if I had to lie forever?'

As he arrived home, he set the thoughts aside. He was scrolling through the piles of pictures he had taken and he decided to send a still-life picture of daisy to Bright. He intended to send the picture of the two boys before, but he didn't want to get nagged from taking pictures of peoples without their permission.

He clicked the Send button then left his phone on the cupboard to take a shower.

Win didn't realize yet. He unconsciously wanted to take pictures of things that he wished had happened, but didn't due to his cowardice nature. Those times he was filled with fear and regrets. Those chance he missed because of the words 'next time', those time when he was afraid of 'what if's.
