"So when we're here, outside school. Don't be all formal. Just call me Tay. And please sit down jeez. You guys make me feel so old. I'm only 6 years older than y'all", Tay said, crashing on one of the bean bags. Win was extremely confused with what was happening but he just followed Bright and Dew and all of them got comfortable.

"You know I was like you when I was younger. I hated the attention. I loved photography like Bright and Dew here and I wanted to be a photographer initially", Tay started and the three were listening carefully to him. Bright occasionally kept looking at Win and praying to himself that things will go well.

"So I had this fest in school which had a fashion show event. I was actually posted as one of the 5 photographers for the event but an hour before the show, one of the models fell sick and they desperately needed another model. So one of my friends suggested that I should go do it since the other four photographers can cover up for my work but a missing model can't be covered up that easily. I was definitely against it because of how shy I was. But at the same time it was my best friend's club and he really needed a model so I gathered all my courage and decided to do it. I noticed a LOT of people were talking about me to their friends from the audience side just like they did for the other models. It is pretty normal. We don't know if they were complimenting us or criticising us. A lot of thoughts were running around my mind, but in that moment the main thing that kept me going was to do my best at what I was doing because the people I knew personally were supporting me. I thought, 'hey, why should I be worried about the comments of those who I don't even know and won't even care about after this show' right? I know it is easy to say that. But when I was done with the show, I got recruited by this company. No one knew that they would be there at the event. So yeah, I was having mixed feelings about this, one, since I wanted to go ahead with my photography work and two, I was shy obviously. But the company told me that I can do even switch to taking pictures of models if I felt like doing so and back to modelling. So I thought about it for a week or so and finally decided to join the company. And trust me, I have no regrets. Plus, I feel like I have become a lot more confident now"

"So why haven't you done any shows or work in the past few years. You said you had been recruited when you were in school right?", Bright asked.

"Well I took the science course for my university which was a huge mistake. I thought I could handle both work and classes but that didn't work out so well. So I only came by to take pictures and not the modelling work. Now that I have graduated and finished one year of proper training I will be doing shows more often"

"Do all models have to go for training?", Win asked.

"Well it's usually the runway models that require training as such. The photoshoot ones can have small workshops for a day, maximum a week or so depending on how big your project is"

"You're probably the first model in this company that had their shoot without any workshops", Dew told Win.

"Yeah. Everyone in this company has been talking about you and when I finally found out who you were, my students. I lost it. I'm actually impressed. So yeah, trust me on this one. Don't let this opportunity to go waste", Tay ended and smiled at the three boys in front of him.
