' Apart from the camera It's probably only Ping that Kao is interested in.'

Kao: I don't do anything all day. After graduating, I took only pictures.

I'm just interested in the camera. Be a freelance photographer Lazy about everything

The most diligent is only when taking photos for 'close friends'.

Ping: A top model for photographers. Everyone likes to invite Ping to take pictures.

Sometimes I was hired to do some modeling. He is one of the best at posing.

Ping's special ability is Ping can't take photos for other people at all.

Even though his best friend is 'My favorite photographer'

There will be friends who take bad photos for us, but we take every photo beautifully. I don't know why. Hey, just taking beautiful photos, how difficult is it? Some people can't take photos with a normal cell phone camera. Headless, distorted angles and location. Sometimes the photos are beautiful but there are people in the background.

Why don't you wait for him to pass by first and then take the photo....

Even though the model's poses were very good, it was a mistake on the part of the person who was the cameraman today. Why can't I ever take pictures?

“Dammit Ping!!! Oh, did you see that aunt behind you? Why didn't you tell me to move a little to the left? It's attached to his aunt. It's not a picture. It's a good location. But someone intervened. You have to stop first. Let him walk first. As for the space above You have too much left,” Kao explained to his little friend after picking up his trusty camera and seeing the picture that Ping had taken of himself.

Ping's work is almost as good. If you don't have an auntie behind you

Kao Teach Ping took photos from 1 p.m. because that was when the sunshine was just right. Today is not very hot. But my heart was already starting to get hot because I had been taking photos for almost an hour. Hardly any good pictures at all.

"Oh, it's difficult, I can't take pictures anymore." Ping made a face. Frowning like a child who was offended He turned and walked over to pick up a brown cloth bag. then walked away

Yes, Ping is sulking again. One of the most irritating things.

“Yeping, stop if you don't stop. I won't send you a picture."

“Ping one, ping two, ping three....”

"Yes!!! Just follow along. I'm not going to go buy ice cream." I turned and shouted at the owner of the voice that had called out to him just now. Ping's displeased expression didn't make Kao's head more hot. But it made Kao laugh more at his own friend's annoyance.

So sulking, so sulking...

Actually, Ping isn't a very touchy person, but when it comes to taking pictures for her, There must always be a feeling of resentment. Because I get criticized all the time for not taking good pictures. But besides nine There was no one to calmly teach me how to take pictures. Kao has never once been impatient with Ping. There are times when I feel like my head is starting to get a little hot.

After teaching, Ping was only playing. But he had to keep cool. Because he knows that Ping is the most touchy-feely person. If he accidentally scolds him, there will be tears again.

"I'm sulking again, good slut.....please give me another chocolate flavor." A thick hand was placed on a small shoulder. Ready to order ice cream to eat to compete with the petulant person.

Kao knew his friend was hurt but didn't want to say much.

"Tell me you're not upset and look at the expression on your face," using a thick hand to rub the small man's head. before reaching into his pocket to pay for the ice cream

There was no response from the other side. Even though Kao volunteered to pay for the ice cream But the little guy didn't even care at all. Just making a face like that. Kao saw his friend being upset and he would laugh at Ping's feeling hurt every time. But every time he laughed, the little man only became more irritated than before.

because he thought that Kao was mocking his intentions But despite the fact that Kao is very fond of Ping when she's upset, Kao has to keep quiet.

Ping accepted the blueberry ice cream from the vendor before walking away in the other direction. I don't know what to be upset about. Normally it's never like this. Why is it so difficult to please today?

"Hey, what's wrong? Your face looks like an ass."

“I'm bored, I can't do it…” he said softly as he sat down at the marble-wood table next to the park.

Pingkong is disappointed that she hasn't learned how to take photos. Why is it so difficult? Both the mobile phone and the camera can't find the right angle. He must have felt that Why can't it be this simple? He didn't take that bad. But Ping would like to know how to adjust light and adjust angles like Kao does.

“Not everyone is good today, right?” Kao said, looking at the expressionless face before pulling out his cell phone and showing a picture of something for Ping to see.

“Why are you showing me your picture?”

“This is the picture you took. It's a picture that I really like. How can you tell me you can't take a good picture? This picture was accidental and I didn't know when I released the shutter. I went back to the room so I checked the picture on the camera. This picture of me is very handsome.”

"Wow!!.. But it's not as beautiful as the picture you took. Sigh."

“Some models were not born to be photographed, they were born to model for photographers.”

"do not understand..."

“This is it....you might be suitable to be a model for me. It's more than just taking pictures for me."

“Oh, I want to take beautiful photos for my friends like the ones you took.”

“Calm down, practice slowly. I myself have been with a camera for more than two years. One day, you can see that I myself am not interested in anything except taking pictures. I'm here but I'm looking for a camera. And like you, I've never taken a photo. It's just a model for others. Why do you think so much? If you let me be a model I probably can't do it like you, right? ....

"Don't think too much. Even though you're not very good at taking photos, you're a very good model for me. You're good at posing, you're good at finding beautiful angles. You're not shy when taking photos in places with lots of people, which is a good thing. A lot of being a model for the cameraman is because it's easy for the photographer. I once filmed someone's graduation ceremony. He's very shy.

By the time the filming was finished it was very tiring.”

Ping listened to Kao's words and felt better. It wasn't exactly what Kao had said. No one is good at everything. Everyone's skills are different. Baking it yourself doesn't take good photos. But when I become a model, how many times do I get paid? Kao is always easy to work with. And if you let Kao go be a model instead? Kao himself can't do it.

Kao is very good at pleasing touchy people. He was very good at finding words to say to make the other person feel good. Sometimes Ping didn't even know that Kao was reconciling. Because every time I speak Ping must be lost in that trance all the time. I don't know why either.

Kao's voice sounded trustworthy....

“Kao, actually you are the only person I dare to take pictures with and not be camera shy, you know?”

"Why?"

"do not know"

"You have to know. There has to be a reason, friend."

"Because you are my comfort."

Kao heard that. He quickly turned his head and ran the other way. I can't deny that I'm embarrassed. He smiled unconsciously. The older man pursed his lips and sighed heavily. before turning around to find the small man sitting next to him with an expressionless face.

Ping said, biting into an ice cream cone like a three year old child who was talking and eating while chatting. Kao then picked up his camera and took an unintentional photo of the person in front of him.

Snap a photo!

“E-kao!!!”

“Cute”

“Look!!!!!!”

"No, I'll delete it."

“It means you're not cute. Come take a look now!!” Ping hurriedly stuffed the remaining ice cream cone into her mouth and grabbed her hand to snatch the camera from her mischievous friend. before his head was pushed away by a strong hand

“Take a look now Kao!!!!”

"Every picture of you is cute. You don't have to look at it."

"no!!!!!"

"Ping... Look at that person. He kissed his girlfriend in the middle of the garden."

The little man turned around. He went to look at the left hand side where the nine pointed but he just realized that he had been tricked. Because turning to the left there was only a pond. Kao saw another person being careless. He quickly ran into the middle of the grass before the little man ran after him to finish off his troublesome friend.

“E-kao, please wait. Delete the picture!!!!” A voice shouted behind a tall figure running in the middle of the field.

"bake!! Stop, stand there, the light is beautiful.”

"stop!!! Oh, that's very good.”

Ping stopped automatically like a robot commanded it immediately when Kao spoke to tell her to stop. Because every time I get a photo angle He will tell Ping to stop and I don't know why Ping has to believe it and do it every time.

“Kao, why did you stop? Taking pictures?” he said while making a gesture to ask the other person whether he wanted to take a picture or not. Kao nodded in response and took off the lens cap. and check the camera's aperture value before raising the camera to focus on the person in front

“So hipster, standing still in the middle of the field, the light is so beautiful... ..You are also very cute.”

The last sentence had to be said quietly in one person's throat for fear that the other person would hear it.

“Did you get it yet?”

"Look to the left, Ping. Ruffle your hair."

Ping did as Kao told her without hesitation and got the beautiful picture that Kao wanted. Kao looked at the photo on the camera screen before he unconsciously twitched the corner of his mouth.

So damn cute.

“Did you get it yet!!!!” Ping ran up to his beloved cameraman. before asking to see the pictures on Kao's camera But was rejected again as usual.

"Let's take a look. I'll decorate it first and then I'll send it to you."

"Kao, let me take a look, please, Kao Auntie." Ping's usual pleas caused Kao to soften.

“You don't have to hang on to my arm, you'll be fine. I'm so busy with me until I don't have a girl.

"Good, you don't have to have it. If you had it, I wouldn't have taken pictures."

"What's the matter?"

“You're more interested in other people than me,” Ping said, pulling out the other person's camera to look at the picture before keeping a calm face as if nothing had happened.

Ping's words really It was nothing at all. If people who are friends talk normally, they listen and look indifferent, even if they feel like close friends who are so possessive of their friends that they don't want the other person to have a boyfriend, that's all.

But the feeling is not....

Ping doesn't know if it's more than nine. I've secretly liked Ping since one year and until now I still like it. But Kao has never once shown and made Ping aware that he secretly likes Ping. There were many people who flirted with him as well when he was in school, but he wasn't particularly interested in anyone. There were people who talked to him. But in the end, he never agreed to be with anyone in person.

Most people thought that Ping and Kao were even lovers. But they're used to it. With people calling them a snapshot couple because of their Facebook page. or Kao's IG There were only pictures of about eighty percent of them. There were also pictures of other people sporadically. When I was hired to do photoshoots for clients.

Ping once asked Kao as well. Why do you only post pictures of Ping on IG and never post any pictures of yourself?

Kao could only answer, 'If you like it, you can do it'.

Ping didn't care about anything. Because Kao is a straightforward person and has not shown any signs of liking the other person at all. But when Kao had a girl come to flirt with him or a model that Kao went to get work to talk to. Ping also likes to pretend to be Kao's boyfriend until she's young. Those who approached slowly disappeared one by one.

Until sometimes Kao also got a headache from the annoyance of his troublesome friend. Kao himself once asked Ping why she didn't like having people talk to her. Ping said that he could talk but he had to have Ping scan him first every time. But when they actually came in, none of them ever made it past the Ping checkpoint.

These two are just enough for each other...

They spent about three hours walking around taking pictures. Soon the sky above had turned orange, really liking the sun at 5 p.m. It's even better when it's sunny and the air temperature is just right like this. Today is not very hot. It seemed like the weather was kind enough for Kao to find an excuse to stay and take pictures with Ping for a long time.

“Do you want to go home now?” Kao asked Ping before stretching out his arm to wrap around the shoulder of the little man who was too busy playing with his cell phone to pay attention to the people next to him.

"It's like I want to go somewhere but I can't think of anything. I don't want to go home yet. Mother isn't there."

“We don't seem to have a future, we don't have any work to do. After graduating, I had nowhere to go. If you weren't doing a photo shoot I'm not a cameraman. What are we going to do about it? Haha."

Kao suddenly thought about his own work. Then I thought of laughing. Because four months since graduating, both of them still haven't found any real work. In fact, they'd like to work, but they've already done internships. It's like they both don't like regular jobs that much, where they have to come to work early in the morning and then leave late. It's hard to please people, so they choose to work as freelancers instead.

The business at Baan Kao is not very big. It's a small Thai restaurant. It's not that far from the university. As for Ping himself, at home his parents are all in government service. But it's good that Ping's parents didn't force Ping to work full time. The Ping family would rather raise their children in a modern way. If you want to do anything, do it.

I want to go wherever I want to go. I want to try something. My friends, I'm searching for myself. I never say that.

Ping's parents knew that their child liked to take pictures very much, so they let Ping take up modeling work for commercials. Ping's mother taught Ping that if the money ran out, she would not be able to take care of herself. After graduating, I still have to ask my parents for money. I have to figure out how to take care of myself to survive because one day I won't have my parents anymore. Ping will be able to take care of herself.

“I want to work,” Ping replied, sighing heavily before using her foot to lightly kick the grass.

"What's the matter again? Why are you bored? What kind of work do you want to do? Tell me where?"

“The work I want to do. I can't do it at all.”

"I told you before what it was."

"I want to be a photographer."

I swear this is the first time Kao knew that Ping wanted to be a photographer because in the past he thought that Ping just wanted to try taking pictures for fun and not take anything seriously. Because most of my friends who graduated together always let Kao teach photography. Some people get a little technique and go back and practice it on their own.

“Is this true?”

"See? You thought, right? That I wouldn't be able to do it."

"I haven't said anything yet. I'm like this. I'm good at thinking it over myself."

“You...why is this so difficult? Taking photos is harder than finding a girlfriend. Oh, I'm so bored."

"Calm down....Really, taking pictures isn't difficult, Ping."

"It's hard. It's been hard. I've been doing it for many years."

.....Saying I like you is more difficult than learning to take pictures.

Kao could only think in his heart. He didn't dare speak out.

"nine"

"Huh?" What's wrong with Ping? He called again, always asking questions. Every five minutes

“What do you think is the hardest thing in your life?”

Ping ... It's like you heard what I was thinking.

Kao raised his hand and scratched his head. before raising his head to breathe in air to fill his lungs Then he sighed heavily. Ping looked at his friend's actions and laughed softly. Ping probably knew that Kao was probably bored with Ping Sao Si, but that's all. Ping didn't care if Kao was annoyed or not. Ping just wanted an answer from his beloved friend.

Kao himself has been comparing everything in the world to Ping for the past four years about taking pictures with things that are more difficult than taking pictures. Ping still keeps asking, asking the same question for four years now. I don't know why else to ask. I don't understand either.

“I asked again, Ping. Are you going to ask this question until you die?”

“Oh, please answer again. Each year people have different thoughts. Last year you said, Graduating is more difficult than taking pictures. But now that you've graduated, that means it's not difficult, right? And now, what's harder than graduating?"

"I don't know."

“You must know Kao, you must know.” The little man walked up and cut in front of the other party, fearing that Kao would definitely avoid answering his question. Ping stood with her arms crossed over her chest and stared at Kao with a solemn, serious expression, but didn't look scary at all. More like a spoiled kitten. Kao doesn't understand why Ping is suddenly so excited.

Even though I wanted to ask this, I wanted to ask all this, even though at first we had already stopped talking about this matter.

“There is one thing that is very difficult, more than anything in my life.”

“Come on.”

"Then why do you want to know? This is so nonsensical."

"I don't know. It seems like the only hardest thing in my life is taking pictures."

“Answer me, why are you quiet?”

“If you already knew. You might hate me.” That's right. Saying that you like to bake already Ping isn't the same as him because we've been close for a very long time, so much so that I think that if it's past the point of being friends, it might not be the same.

“Try saying it first. Why would I hate you? You idiot.”

“Well....”

“It's me….”

               Rrrrrrrrr

“Wait a minute...Hello mom. Ping is about to return....I'll send him right away. Is there something wrong?..." The little man raised his hand to tell the other person to stop talking. Because Ping's mother seems to have something important. And Ping herself is not comfortable talking for Kao to hear. Some of them decided to lead the way out first.

Kao stood and watched the little man walk away with a heavy heart. He picked up his favorite camera and scrolled to look at the photos he had secretly taken today.

“I like you, Ping. This is the most difficult thing for me to say in my life.”
