Working with Top Hyung was a misery…Having him as my creative director and Bom noona as the editor in chief is nothing but hell…but it’s alright, at least I could take my mind off of my problems for a while.

“Jiyong…what the hell is this? This is the third time that I asked you to photograph this and you still don’t know what to do” TOP complained

“Hyung what am I supposed to do, you asked me to go to the Botanical Garden and get some pictures of the different flowers…and I did what you asked me to do.” I explained to him

TOP hyung and Bom noon asked me to photograph flowers…They don’t even need it for the magazine, they said it was part of my training and I did what I was asked to do for the freaking third time…I don’t know what I have been doing wrong….I photograph almost all of the flowers I could see in that garden.

“You just don’t understand Jiyong, Bom said that you have to go to her office with these pictures.” TOP said while smile impishly

Bom noona…???  

I’m dead…..

=at Noona’s office=

“Tell me what’s the problem with the photographs you have taken Jiyong?” Bom noona asked

“I really don’t know noona, I did what you asked me to do, I don’t understand why you and TOP hyung keep rejecting it.” I honestly told her

“I will tell you why Ji, it’s because they are all just simple pictures.” Bom noona said

“Of they are pictures; I take them with the camera and print it.” I proudly said

“Tsk… a picture is not supposed to be just a picture Jiyong, It should tell a story it should spark up some feeling to the person looking at those photos.” Bom explained

“And how am I supposed to do that?”

“Learn to appreciate Jiyong…You should see the beauty of what you are looking at, and if you see it, it will reflect on the photographs that you take…Photography is not just about taking it’s about telling a story.”

I nodded to show I agree with what noona said…

“Now Jiyong go back to that Botanical Garden and this time do it right…because if you don’t you will be the new janitor, you understand Jiyong dear?” Noona said with a chilling sound

“Yes noona…I will do my best.” I said as I bow down and leave her office

The next day I submitted the photo her and she was pleased but I am more pleased with my self…Bom noona is right…I should learn to appreciate the things around, to their worth and importance. I was not able to do that when Dara was still with me, I was not able to appreciate her, and I was not even able to thank her for being in my life.

Now that I have to start anew…It’s good to know that I still have the chance to see the beauty that surrounds me, it would have been more beautiful with Dara around but I have to be contented with what I have and focus on what Dara wished me to do in the first place…

Little did I know I was enjoying the job as a photographer.

One day Bom Noona asked me to go to her office

“You asked to see me noona?” I asked her

“Yeah, I want to give you this…” she handed me a book...” I think you should read this book, I think you will li
