บท 16: The Picture
Anna walked through the gates of this old looking place without feeling odd. In fact she used to come here when she was little with her parents before they passed away.
For her, this place always was the symbol of old days she couldn't have for a long time, for happiness she didn't feel for long.
Everytime she felt weak or hesitant, sad or depressed, she would come all the way here. After all, she used her influence and bought the entire place.
Her brother supported the idea first as he mistook her actions to be based on financial views. However when she refused to change anything here, he couldn't help but grow mad at her.
At some point he even came here to demolish this place, and he was always stopped by her.
"What are you waiting for?" She turned to see Ji Hoon standing in a daze outside.
"Are you sure this is the place we should be?" Ji Hoon asked and his question just made her chuckle.
She didn't answer in words as she turned and kept walking in carefree ways.
This place... was one of the rare places where she could act on her own nature. After all no guard was allowed to trespass here, and of course the place was deserted from any human.
This was a forced measure by her when her brother tried one time to play dirty. He put some guards loyal to him in her own team and they tried once to cause a big fire here.
However she managed to stop them. Since that day she decided this zone would be off limits to anyone but her.
And luckily that decision she took on impulse added more charm to this place.
She could hear the hesitant footsteps of Ji Hoon from behind. The entrance of this old theme park was covered in stones.
She recalled the path was always clean and shiny, bare of anything but dust. However now the square shaped white rocks turned into yellow and oddly rodened pieces.
And a small amount of green weed emerged from the spaces between rocks.
"You... really have a weird taste in places," Ji Hoon arrived by her side while saying these words in doubt.
She could understand him. After all she was the only person in the world seeing this dusty and ruined place as a heaven.
"This isn't a proper way to address your boss," she turned to face him while crossing her arms.
"I didn't know you were my boss," yet he decided to play this game with her, acting ignorant to what she just stated.
"Oh, do you believe I hold no power in the corp?" she amusingly asked while her fingers patted slowly and regularly in a rhythm over her arms.
"I came to work for the corp," he said with a faint calm smile, "but I work at the lower department of media. I believe you are way too high for me to look at."
"And yet here you are with me, acting so rudely like you want this to be your last day in the corp," she attacked directly at his sore spot.
After all, for any human working for her corp was like living a dream. Threatening him at this point worked as his face changed slightly and he seemed a bit hesitant.
However he was pressured by a totally different reason that she imagined.
"Does that mean I work under your command now?"
Anna chuckled and started to walk inside the park. She moved her arms around like she was really a small girl happy for getting out of home.
"If you desperately want to, you need to show me your talents," she stood beside a small tree. The tree wasn't much higher than her, but her trunk was arched as if someone or something crushed it and made it fall to the ground.
There were many circular projections from the body of this tree. As for its leaves, they were like long strips of pink paper. She stood in front of it and posed for a picture.
Ji Hoon couldn't help but sigh before holding his camera and started to move around.
"Stop jumping like that and take the shot already!" After a minute, she grew impatient with his actions. He kept leaning, ducking, and even lied flat on the ground.
And yet she couldn't hear the shutter sound of the camera.
"Shh," he said in a tone that carried a superiority habit, "I'm trying to get the best."
"What's best? I bet you won't take even a decent shot!"
"Woosh!"
Just as she was getting angry at him, a gale of wind came all of sudden. It looked like the wind appeared out of nowhere, and decided to circle around the tree and Anna.
The leaves of the tree moved and clamored together before the branches got lowered from the wind. At this moment, the leaves almost reached Anna's face and she felt surrounded with all but pink.
"Smile!" Ji Hoon said the classic word for any photographer before he clicked on his camera and took the shot.
As if the wind came only to bring him this moment to capture, the moment he took the shot the wind vanished.
"What was that?" Anna was sensitive to anything around her and she couldn't miss that. The wind appeared without warning and vanished without a reason.
"Do you want to see it?" As she was turning around, trying to get what just happened, Ji Hoon drew closer while pressing the buttons of his camera.
"This..." as he handed the camera to her, she saw the shot he took.
In fact he took three and not one. He used a feature in the camera to do so, capturing the smallest details.
And from what she saw, she felt amazed by his skills.
