Take the pro(ect and gi'e it to him.
-ou are not mad "ecause of what he said earlier, are
you Nural?!
Nural5 of course I am. He was harsh on me.
Sarah5 he!s "een always like that.
Nural5 today it felt like he was waiting for me to do
something "ad so he can lecture me later.
Sarah5 you look tired.
Nural5 I "et I am. How do you think I made it on
time?!
Sarah5 wait I!ll gi'e him the pro(ect then we will
lea'e.
Nural5 I!ll wait outside then.
Sarah5 I!'e seen Shida!s pro(ect.
Nural5 what a"out it?
Sarah5 you won!t "elie'e what I saw. I don!t think we
will make it.
Nural5 why?!
Sarah5 they did the same idea with us.
Nural5 what! How did they? what did Mister Softman
say?!
Sarah5 he said that the (udges will look into it.
Nural5 that!s it! He said only that?!
Sarah5 yes! Sadly.
Nural5 I can!t "elie'e it. She knew that we are going
to do that, and yet she still went for it. /n top of that
Mister Softman did not oppose.
Sarah5 what are we going to do now?!
Nural5 nothing!
Sarah5 how can you say that? #e spent two weeks
working on it.
Nural5 we can!t help it and we can!t change our
pro(ect idea now.
Sarah5 change! #hy do we ha'e to change the idea,
they are the one who should do that. 6et!s go to
Mister 2raft and tell him.
Nural5 are you cra7y we can!t do that.
Sarah5 why?!
Nural5 if we go and talk to anyone related to the
(udges, it will "e considered as cheating. So what will
they accuse us if we talk to the (udges themsel'es.
Sarah5 you are right. 0ut this is not fair we su"mitted
our pro(ect idea 3rst. They e'en lo'ed it.
Nural5 that!s why they did it. She always do that.
on!t you remem"er last year when she copied our
theme for the Spring in the 2ity. She (ust changed a
"it in it.
Sarah5 yeah! %eople were all talking a"out it, when
the truth it was our idea.
Nural5 she!s coming along with her maids of honor.
*&iggling*
I heard you did the same idea with us. Is that true
Nural?!
Sarah5 you must "e kidding! 4ren!t you the one who
copied our idea?!
Shida5 copied! 1irls you hear that?!
2asey5 actually you copied us. -ou (ust don!t get it do
you?!
-eonha5 do you think you are the only one with
"rains! This idea doesn!t "elong to you.
4nyone can do it. It!s (ust a matter of who is "etter,
and e'eryone here knows that we are num"er one.
Sarah5 of course "y stealing our ideas and make it
yours.
Shida5 stealing! "a"y it was ne'er yours to "egin
with.
Sarah5 it is all...
Nural5 let!s go Sarah.
Sarah5 what! #hy?
Nural5 (ust let it go.
Shida5 are you running away?! #hy don!t you (ust
gi'e up on this contest, you!ll ne'er win 4nyway.
Nural5 we will ne'er gi'e up. I!ll win this contest. #e
will win this time.
Shida5 poor you. 6ook around you Nural, look to the
trophies, the photos, they are all mine. 8ust go and
ask students in here they all know me. 4nd you! No
one.
Nural5 I did a great (o" along with Sarah. #e always
did. True we don!t ha'e many trophies and our
photos are not on the institution walls, nor are we
popular. 0ut we ne'er stole someone else hard work.
Students might not remem"er us, "ut at least one
day no one will call our work a replica.
-eonha5 honey no one will hear of you or your work
to "egin with. the students you are talking a"out
adore our work. To them we are un"eata"le.
Sarah5 well let!s see that.
2asey5 (ust gi'e up the two of you, you!ll ne'er "eat
us.
Shida5 we can always do "etter than you. #hate'er
you pick as a su"(ect, we will do it and make it look
"etter. #e are (ust the "est. 1et o'er it.
!alking away laghing.
Sarah5 what was that (ust now?! 4re they for real!
Nural5 this is too much.
Sarah5 yeah! Too much. 6et!s go and (ust change our
pro(ect now.
Nural5 and let her get what she wants. No way.
Sarah5 and! 4re we going to let her win. -ou heard
her right ?!
Nural5 I did. That!s why I made up my mind. #e
should win this time.
Sarah5 she always win no matter what we do. It!s like
she was "orn to win e'erything.
Nural5 no one is "orn to win. #e are "orn to work
hard so we can win.
Sarah5 so what are we going to do now?!
Nural5 let!s do like the director said.
Sarah5 what! #e don!t ha'e time to hear your
e&cuses?!
Nural5 not that one.
Sarah5 that!s all I remem"er.
Nural5 why you!
idn!t he said we can ask our super'isor a"out
anything! 4nd now it!s time for that. She might ha'e
some solution or ad'ice.
Sarah5 why not! It!s not like we ha'e anything else.
4re we going now?!
Nural5 yes! #hy would we wait.
Sarah5 I will look for her in the teachers room.
Nural5 ask her if she can come to the li"rary.
Sarah5 why the li"rary! #e can!t talk their, e'eryone

-es!
If the (udges don!t agree on our pro(ect, what will we

#hy wouldn!t they?!
-ou know why?! They won!t oppose to Shida!s since
her parents are rich and powerful.
Trust me they will agree. They did "efore why not

It!s our 3nal pro(ect you know.
It!s our 3nal pro(ect in here only.
4re we gonna still "e partners after graduation?!
#e will "e always "e teammates.

4manda5 a"out that.
Sarah5 what a"out it?!
4manda5 it!s a"out Shida!s pro(ect.
Sarah5 what did she do?! idn!t she get enough with

4manda5 so you know a"out that.
Sarah5 of course I do. we were (ust talking a"out it,

4manda5 it!s not only me the whole institution knows
a"out her pro(ect now.
Sarah5 what? How?!
4manda5 she (ust announced it on the morning
greeting on the T:. It!s (ust you who missed it.
Sarah5 so all students are talking a"out it then. She
(ust crossed the line.
4manda5 they were all ama7ed and saying how
creati'e and smart she is. How could you let her do
that to you again.
Sarah5 we didn!t know until this morning (ust like you
guys.I need to go now Nural is waiting.
4manda5 I feel sorry for you. It!s seems she put you
on her mind. She wants to destroy you I guess.
Sarah5 don!t worry we are stronger than you know.
It seems your friend forgot a"out the meeting.
No! She didn!t. I!m sure she!s coming miss.
I hope so "ecause I don!t ha'e time. #hy don!t you

I think I should do so.
Then, what!s the pro"lem?!
2an we go to another place please, where we can
talk freely.
Sure! 0ut won!t your friend ha'e a pro"lem 3nding
us?
It!s okay. *rom here please.
4fter you. #ait, isn!t that your friend coming?!
*inally!
Sorry! I had something urgent to do.
6et!s mo'e from here then we shall talk. This way
please miss 8ong.
Sarah5 to your secret place!
Miss 8ong5 secret place?!
Sarah5 yes Nural told me a"out it earlier.I!'e ne'er
seen it myself.
Miss 8ong5 really! I had no idea that our institution
had secret places.
Nural5 it!s not that kind of secret places. It!s only
hidden from the students eyes. Mister 0lau showed it
to me. I used it to study since it!s ;uite.
Miss 8ong5 so it!s like an escape place.
Nural5 you can say that.
Miss 8ong5 I shall use it too then to rest.
Nural5 sure! It!s not like it!s mine or something.
Sarah5 are we their yet?! I ne'er knew our li"rary is
this "ig.
Miss 8ong5 that!s why you don!t take good marks.
*(aghing*
Sarah5 I can!t help it. I fall asleep whene'er I gra" a
"ook.
Miss 8ong5 that doesn!t make it look any "etter you
know. I always wondered how did you make it this
far!
Nural5 here we are.
Sarah5 a ta"le?! 4nd chairs too?!
Miss 8ong5 did you "ring them here?!
Nural5 no! Mister 0lau told me it was always here. It
seems like the 3rst director used to come here. 4nd
now I am using it. Shall we sit down!
Sarah5 I don!t think I will e'en remem"er the way
here.
Miss 8ong5 what was the reason you "rought me here
for?!
Sarah5 you speak.
Nural5 you know that we ha'e put our 3nal pro(ect
theme today.
Miss 8ong5 I do.
Nural5 you know how much this pro(ect is important
to us in our future career.
Miss 8ong5 get to the point
Sarah5 Shida!s team stole our idea and used it as
their theme.
Nural5 didn!t you let me ha'e the talk?!
Sarah5 sorry I couldn!t sit ;uite.
Miss 8ong5 you can!t say that.
Nural5 what!
Miss 8ong5 you can!t accuse them of stealing your
idea. -ou can!t say it out loud.
Sarah5 why?!
Miss 8ong5 do you think you are the 3rst people to
come up with this idea?!
Nural5 no! 0ut we picked it "efore them and informed
the head teacher. isn!t there a rule to make the 3rst
to pick to ha'e the rights on it.
Miss 8ong5 Nural! #e are not in a technology
institution where you can ha'e the rights on your
creation or a writer to call it plagiarism. This is a
photography institution where ten people can take
picture of the same 'iew, yet you might not 3nd two
which look the same. It!s all a"out passion.
Nural5 "ut she always do that.
Sarah5 and they always take the credits to it, as if
they created it themsel'es.
Nural5 miss 8ong can!t we do anything to pre'ent
them to do the same this year?!
Miss 8ong5 you two! #hy don!t you understand what I
tell you?!
This whole story of copying each other doesn!t e&ist
in our (o". Take a look at this place!
2ome on take a look "oth of you.
Nural5 I!'e seen this place almost like e'eryday for
the last two years miss.
Sarah5 ah! The sun!
Nural5 what a"out it! Is it your 3rst time to see the
sun?!
Sarah5 so you are telling me you think it!s normal to
see the sun here?!
Nural5 what! No way there is no window.
Sarah5 check it out yourself then.
Nural5 what! #here!
Sarah5 their!
Nural5 their! Their! #here? I can!t see a thing?
Miss 8ong5 Idiot! 9Hit her head slightly*
6ook on the wall. Isn!t it "eautiful?! 6ook how the
clouds are mo'ing.
Nural5 9ama$ed*
#ow! It!s like watching the sky in "lack. The shadow
of the sky!
Sarah5 we can e'en touch it.
Miss 8ong5 now do you ha'e cameras?
Sarah5 let me see!
Nural5 I!'e "een coming to this place for almost three
years, "ut I ne'er noticed it. How could you notice it
miss 8ong? -ou are really ama7ing.
Miss 8ong5 oh! No! I didn!t your friend sarah is the
one who noticed it. I (ust noticed it after she
mentioned it.
Sarah5 here! Is this good?!
Miss 8ong5 it!s good. Now take a picture of the 'iew.
Nural5 "ut we don!t ha'e light in here.
Sarah5 yeah!
Miss 8ong5 (ust do as I say.
Sarah5 okay!
Miss 8ong5 (ust focus on the thing you want to take
picture of. on!t worry a"out the light.
9)amera sond*
Miss 8ong5 take it many times from di.erent angles.
Sarah5 right!
*)amera sonds*
Sarah5 I!m done. let!s see it.
Miss (ong5 no! 1i'e it to Nural.
Nural5 me!
Miss 8ong5 yes! Take it and do the same thing.
Nural5 I don!t really understand the meaning "ehind
this.
Miss 8ong5 "e patient!
Nural5 sorry! I!ll do it.
Sarah5 no! Not like that !
Miss 8ong5 let her do it as she likes.
Sarah5 "ut that way!
Miss 8ong5 "oth of you are really impatient.
Sarah5 Sorry!
Nural5 I!m done.
Sarah5 can we see it now?!
Miss 8ong5 no!
Hein!
Miss 8ong5 gi'e it to me now.
Sarah5 woah! 4re you going to take pictures too.
Nural5 I!'e ne'er seen you take pictures "efore.
Miss 8ong5 9smiling* now you will.
Nural5 I heard that miss was one of the "est students
of this institution.
Miss 8ong5 you did!
Sarah5 stop "othering her. 6et her focus.
Miss 8ong5 it!s okay. I!m not "othered.
Sarah5 really! I can!t take a picture if someone is
talking to me.
Miss 8ong5 9lifting her head* you will get used to it "y
time.
Nural5 can I ask you a ;uestion?
Miss 8ong5 yeah! 1o ahead.
Nural5 why did you stop?!
Miss 8ong5 what!
Nural5 aren!t you a good photographer?! #hy did you
stop?!
Sarah5 Nural!
Miss 8ong5 who told you I stopped?!
Nural5 I heard you didn!t do an e&hi"ition in 3'e
years.
Miss 8ong5 someday, you will learn that there is a
time when you need to rest.
Sarah5 I don!t think you ha'e to take a rest from
something you lo'e to do.
Nural5 so, you stopped "ecause you wanted to rest?!
Miss 8ong5 putting it that way sounds like a stupid
e&cuse.
Nural5 I!m sorry! 0ut isn!t?!
Sarah5 Nural! This is too much.
9laghing*
Miss 8ong5 I!m fourty nine years now. I!'e "een taking
pictures my whole life. I ha'e family to take care of.
%laces to 'isit. I didn!t stop taking pictures, I stopped
showing it to people.
Sarah5 so you still take pictures?!
Miss 8ong5 of course! 0ut I keep them to myself.
%hotographing is part of me.
Nural5 that is sel3shness.
Miss 8ong5 why?!
Nural5 your pictures are so good. I was once inspired
"y them. How could you hide that "eauty from your
work admirers?! -our work could "e the hope of
someone.
Miss 8ong5 I!m so <attered to hear that my photos
inspired you. 4nd I really hope my photos will inspire
more people like you, "ut I had my glory time, now I
will lea'e it to people like you. -ou can do "etter than
I did.
Nural5 I am sorry. I didn!t mean to "e rude.
Miss 8ong5 don!t worry one day you!ll understand
what I!m saying.
Sarah5 I don!t think we will ha'e a time like this, if the
situation won!t change.
#hat situation?!
Sarah5 do you know what was the commotion all
a"out?!
Nural5 what?!
Sarah5 this morning Shida announced on the
institution T:s her team theme for the contest.
Nural5 so all the students know now.
Sarah5 you don!t seem mad.
Miss 8ong5 why would you "e mad?!
Sarah5 "ecause now as always her photos will win,
"ecause she is miss popular. I told you we should
change the theme. They will all compare our works
together, at the end her team will win the 'otes.
Miss 8ong5 why are you sure she will win?!
Nural5 "ecause she always win. she doesn!t win the
'otes only "ut e'en the hearts of the 'iewers.
Miss 8ong5 is it "ecause she!s "etter than you?!
No!
Nural5 look at us. we "arely ha'e a camera, when her
team has all what they want. 4nd let!s not forget how
her father use his money to promote her in the
industry. She didn!t graduate yet she is well known
among photographers as the young legend.
sarah5 you ga'e her too much credits. She!s not that
good.
Miss 8ong5 so you say she doesn!t deser'e it, and
she!s not good to "e on the top.
Nural5 I don!t deny it. She!s good "ut she doesn!t play
fair.
Miss 8ong5 this is not a game Nural.
Nural5 for her it is a game, and she!s planing to win
all the trophies e'en if it means stepping on us.
Sarah5 are you done miss 8ong?!
Miss 8ong5 -es!
-ou know that "eing rich or poor doesn!t mean
anything in art. -ou know that, right?! 0oth of you
look desprate. 4re you going to gi'e up right at the
start of your (ourney?! The world isn!t a"out this
contest. This world is "igger than all of you. -ou will
get out of this small place to a "igger place. where
you will meet friends, enemies, people who you can
trust, people who will try to use you, people who will
trust you. -ou will go through a lot to know where you
"elong. I!m not trying to scare you. 4ll I!m trying to
say is this is only one of the tests you need to go
through. 4fter this e&perience, you will learn a
lesson. =ach time you go through a test, whether you
win or lose, you will learn a new lesson.
Sarah5 did you go through a lot to get here miss
8ong?! Is that why you need to rest?!
Miss 8ong5 who didn!t? I told you don!t rush things,
(ust li'e your life. o you understand Nural?!
Nural5 somehow now e'erything seems simple.
Sarah5 can we see the photos now?!
miss 8ong5 No! 2an I take the camera with me?!
Sarah5 yeah! Sure.
Miss 8ong5 let!s meet here tomorrow in the same
time. I will e&tract the photos and "ring them with
me.
Nural5 I don!t really get it.
Miss 8ong5 you will understand tomorrow.
Sarah5 tomorrow then miss 8ong!
Miss 8ong5 tomorrow Nural!
Nural5 yes miss!
Sarah5 she!s gone. Hey! #hat!s wrong with you?!
How could you "e so rude to her. 4re you trying to
make her mad at us or something, plus why would
you ask her something personal?! 4nswer me.
Nural5 I don!t know how did I ha'e the courage to ask
that ;uestion.
Sarah5 courage! -ou mean cra7iness. 4re you cra7y?!
If it was another teacher, we will "e suspended "y
now. Thanks 1od she is gentle.
Nural5 stop nagging. I won!t do it again.
Sarah5 why?! #ere you planing on doing it again?!
%lus how come you ne'er showed me this place?!
4ren!t we "est friends?!
Nural5 I (ust did, no?!
Sarah5 how con'enient for you to (ust say that! I!m so
mad at you!
Is anyone here?!
Nural5 shhhhh!

9)o*ering her moth*

#hat?! 4re you sure?!
-=S! 4re you sure you heard noises?!
-es! I did.
That is indeed strange. I did hear rumors a"out this

#hat kind of rumors?!
Students claimed to heard noises of a girl coming
from here, "ut as you can see there is nothing "ut
"ooks, shel'es and walls.
-ou don!t "elie'e it, do you?!
I didn!t at 3rst, "ut here you are telling me you heard
it. #ill I deny it after you assured it?!
/f course not. 0ut I!m sure it!s a couple hiding in the
middle of a li"rary. They are shameless students
using a li"rary for that kind of things.
0ut sir I told you no one got in.
4nd I told you I!m certain.
Then sir shall we search the place.
/f course.
4fter you sir.

Nural5 this is why I ne'er told you a"out this place.

Nural5 -es! Silently.
See! No one is here.

Nural5 sorry that was my fault.
Miss 8ong5 is e'erything alright?
Nural5 -es. #e were (ust scolded "y Mister Iyan and
Mister 2raftman.
Miss 8ong5 was it that "ad?
Sarah5 something a"out storage room.
Miss 8ong5 do I need to talk to them?
Nural5 No! No need we e&plained e'erything. It!s
(ust..
Miss 8ong5 speak!
Sarah5 we are afraid that this accident will a.ect our
work.
Miss 8ong5 I don!t think he!ll mi& "etween this and
your work. He is professional after all.
Nural5 you think so. 1ood.
Miss 8ong5 now let!s go to that place.
Sarah5 -es.
!here are they going to" Shold I follow them" If
only shida was here. I+ll 4st follow them.
Sarah5 I told you I won!t remem"er the way.
Miss 8ong5 it!s not that hard.
Sarah5 I think it!s hard.
Nural5 your "rain doesn!t work at all.
Sarah5 you should!'e seen yourself this morning.
Nural5 you!
Miss 8ong5 you two!
Nural5 sorry.
Miss 8ong5 you apologi7e a lot.
Nural5 sorry.
Sarah5 again.
Miss 8ong5 "oth of you. *ocuse
Nural5 so!
Miss 8ong5 I e&tracted the photos. I!ll show you.
Sarah5 were they good?
Miss 8ong5 see "y yourself.
Sarah5 which one is mine?!
Miss 8ong5 I put each photo you took in one group.
There are three groups.
Nural5 I!m not sure "ut I guess these are mine.
Sarah5 I guess mine are in the middle.
Miss 8ong5 #hat if I tell you none of these is yours.
#hat!
Miss 8ong5 #hat do you think?!
Sarah5 it!s kind of a trick, right?
Nural5 "ut I!m sure this is mine.
Miss 8ong5 how?
Nural5 the angle of the photo, the si7e,..
Miss 8ong5 That!s all.
Nural5 I guess.
Sarah5 me too I think these three photos are mine. I
can e'en remem"er the position I used to take them.
Miss 8ong5 "ut I could!'e used the same angles, si7e,
positions you did. These photos are all mine.
Nural5 ah!
Sarah5 No way! Then where is mine?
Miss 8ong5 I didn!t show it to you. It!s in my "ag.
Nural5 "ut #hy?!
Sarah5 #hy?!
Nural5 #hy does it feel like it!s mine. ='en these
three photos you mentioned it surely feels like you
work.
Sarah5 it does!
Nural5 -es! Not only those. 6ook at the 3rst row in the
left. They all feel the same to yours. It all ha'e the
same feeling. 6ike..
Sarah5 like!
Nural5 like it was done "y one person. The same
touch, (ust like a signature.
Sarah5 I don!t get it.
Nural5 think a"out drawings. if two persons draw the
same 'iew with the same tools, do you think they will
get the same painting?!
Sarah5 of course not, the talent play a "ig role.
Nural5 not only talent, they can "e "oth talented
artists.
Sarah5 then #hat?!
Nural5 think of something. idn!t you e'er heard of
counterfeit in paintings. they try to copy the original
painting "ut true artists notice the di.erence.
Sarah5 you mean they can tell the di.erence
"etween an original and a copy (ust "y looking at it.
Nural5 -es! ,ight miss 8ong?
Miss 8ong5 sometimes they need to use tools for
e&amination, "ut for someone #ho truly knows the
work of that artists he!ll de3nitely notice.
Sarah5 I get that. #hat I don!t get is #hat does that
ha'e to do with this.
Nural5 and you claim that you got smarter.
Sarah5 this doesn!t ha'e to do with me "eing smart.
Nural5 #hat I!m trying to say is that e'en though all
photos look the same, "ut we could guess our
photos.
Sarah5 "ut miss 8ong said these aren!t ours "ut hers.
Nural5 don!t you feel that these are your photos?
Sarah5 -es!
Nural5 then it!s yours.
Sarah5 you mean these photos gi'e the same feeling
as my work?
Nural5 -es.
Sarah5 is that right miss 8ong? These photos are truly
mine.
Miss 8ong5 true.
Sarah5 so e'en if all of us took the same photo, we
can identify our photos through the feelings?
Miss 8ong5 That!s right.
Sarah5 "ut..
Nural5 "ut #hat!
Sarah5 these depends on the person looking at it.
Since we are familiar with our works, we can notice.
How a"out someone #ho doesn!t know anything?
#ill that person notice?
Nural5 didn!t think of that.
Miss 8ong5 your ;uestion is right. If it depends on you
or people #ho knows your work, they!ll certainly get
it. *or people #ho ne'er saw your work "efore it will
"e hard.
Nural5 and I thought I 3gured it out.
Miss 8ong5 you did.
Nural5 I did?! How?
Miss 8ong5 a touch.
Sarah5 touch!
Miss 8ong5 e'ery artists has his own touch on his
work. 6ike a special color, special moments,
signatures, pose, pattern,...things like that.
Nural5 you mean like taking photos with a special
method.
Sarah5 like the one she did yesterday?
Miss 8ong5 true!
Sarah5 what!s my special touch then?! If I couldn!t
notice, how could people do?
Nural5 you use 7oom a lot, like you want to catch the
center of the 'iew.
Sarah5 yeah! I do that. I want to catch the deepest
spot in the 'iew. I want the people to see #hat I see.
eep inside not only the outside. on!t you?
Nural5 No!
Sarah5 you don!t! Then #hat do you want to catch?
Nural5 for me the camera is my eyes. I want people
to see the world as I see it.
Sarah5 so do I!
Nural5 I want to catch special moments. 6ike I!m
free7ing the time in that moment and storing it in a
photo. on!t care if it!s the whole 'iew or part of it.
Sarah5 still didn!t get it ,how is that di.erent from
#hat I do.
Nural5 />! Imagine a raining day.
Sarah5 alright!
Nural5 you are holding the camera.
Sarah5 right!
Nural5 now #hat will you do?
Sarah5 I!ll focus on the deep of this 'iew.
Nural5 where?
Sarah5 when the rain is "etween sky and earth.
Nural5 #hat do you see?
Sarah5 hea'y raining.
Nural5 #hat else?
Sarah5 strings of water.
Nural5 now you catch the photo?
Sarah5 No! I go deep.
Nural5 then!
Sarah5 I see hundred of strings falling at once. 4nd
I!m in the middle of it.
Nural5 #hat do you do now?
Sarah5 I catch the photo.
Nural5 now, focus on the ground.
Sarah5 the ground!
Nural5 -es!
Sarah5 okay.
Nural5 how is it?
Sarah5 I see dirt.
Nural5 then!
Sarah5 the rain is falling on the ground one after one.
Nural5 is that all you see?
Sarah5 I see "u""les.
Nural5 That!s all!
Sarah5 when the rain hit the ground it makes
"u""les..That!s all I see.
Nural5 focus more on the ground.
Sarah5 ah! I get it. #hen the rain hits the dirt, it <ies
away like a circle.
Nural5 (ust one?
Sarah5 they all do the same. 4ll in one pattern.
Nural5 all?!
Sarah5 I think.
Nural5 don!t 7oom. See the whole 'iew. #hat do you
see?
Sarah5 I see.. I get it.
Nural5 you got #hat?
Sarah5 they all fall in the same way "ut if I see it from
far away I see rain as if it!s dancing on the ground.
Nural5 now free7e that moment and catch a photo.
Sarah5 I understand now. 0ut I could catch the
moment the rain hit the ground, No?!
Nural5 -es, you could "ut when you do that you are
going to miss the whole 'iew. you focus on one thing,
"ut you forget the rest.
Sarah5 I think people can see the whole 'iew and
ignore the deep.
Nural5 and I think people see the 'iew "ut don!t pay
attention to the details.
Miss 8ong5 you make me want to "ecome young
again. I miss the old days.
Sarah5 I totally forgot you are here.
Nural5 we got all of #hat you said, still we don!t
understand #hat does this ha'e to do with our
contest and the other team copying our work.
Miss 8ong5 (ust like painting, photos are a work of
artists. =ach photo has it!s signature. There is No way
you can 3nd two photos with the same feeling. It (ust
doesn!t feel the same. e'en if they copied your work,
it won!t feel the same. No matter how hard they try
to copy it, it won!t. Simply, "ecause they don!t see
the world like you see it. The camera is our eyes.
They can!t steal your eyes.
Nural5 you are really great.
Sarah5 so, all we ha'e to do is "eing us?!
Miss 8ong5 -es! That!s it. The rest is all depends on
the talents and your hard work. #ith your own 'iew
you!ll "eat them.
Nural5 I!ll catch special moments.
Sarah5 and I!ll go deep.
Miss 8ong5 together you!ll make a great team. id you
chose the place. If the place has a special meaning to
you, it will help you more. 2ause the way you!ll see
it, it won!t "e the same to the way they see it.
Nural5 I didn!t think of a place like that. 4ll I thought
was a great place.
Sarah5 I did.
Nural5 really! Tell me.
Sarah5 our high school.
Nural5 high school! #hy?
Sarah5 don!t you like the place.
Nural5 I (ust don!t see how will that place help us.
Miss 8ong5 I think a high school is a great place for
memories.
Nural5 -es, "ut..
Miss 8ong5 #hat!
Nural5 not all memories are great. Some memories
you (ust don!t want to remem"er.
Sarah5 I think that place is the "est for our theme. #e
picked memories, "ut not only happy memories.
Miss 8ong5 I agree with her. It!s "est if you agree on
one place, cause it will "e hard to work in a place
you don!t want to. Now I need to lea'e, "ut "efore
that.. take these.
Nural5 a camera!
Sarah5 it!s one of the "ests, and with lenses and all.
Thank you.
Nural5 you are really great miss thank you.
Miss 8ong5 No need. @se it well and make great
memories with it. It!s my gift for "oth of you. The rest
is all up to you now. Take care.
Nural5 Take care miss.
Sarah5 I!m so happy..I!'e ne'er touched or used one
of these. o you think she used it?
Nural5 I!'e read an article a"out her "efore, and I!'e
seen it with her in a photo.
Sarah5 That!s ama7ing.
Nural5 she e'en changed the lenses in our camera.
How can we repay her?
Sarah5 we need to win the contest, to not "ring
shame to this camera.
Nural5 you sound like a leader.
Sarah5 I did!
Nural5 (ust like her.
Sarah5 I guess I!m still impressed "y her con3dence.
6et!s go now. I!m tired.
Nural5 today was so long.
Sarah5 please, don!t forget to gi'e "ack the skirt

Nural5 I almost forgot a"out it. This skirt looks funny.

Sarah5 I was surprised.
Nural5 I won!t lie. I was too.
Sarah5 I want to try it too. I!m (ealous.
Nural5 I thought you want to "e a photographer in a
maga7ine.
Sarah5 it won!t hurt to try it for once to e&perience

Nural5 I lo'e your mom.
Sarah5 where will we go now?
Nural5 to li"rary.
Sarah5 I thought of many things, I think you!ll like

Nural5 I thought of some ideas too.
Sarah5 don!t you notice something?
Nural5 what?
Sarah5 shida!
Nural5 what a"out her?
Sarah5 we didn!t meet her after that day.
Nural5 why would you want to meet her?
Sarah5 I (ust thought may"e they already started

Nural5 you think so?
Sarah5 Nural!
Nural5 yes!
Shida5 look who!s here girls.
2asey5 -eonha, Tina!

Shida5 girls let!s get o'er to what we were doing.
Ignore them.
Sarah5 let!s go Nural.

-eonha5 let!s go Sarah.
Tina5 their faces were so pale.
Shida5 that was great. %oor them they were so
shocked to see us here.
Tina5 she was fro7en.
Shida5 now let!s go.
2asey5 what? 4ren!t we staying here?
Shida5 no way. This place is (ust stupid, I already
reported it to the administration. I e'en told them it!s
a hide place for couples.
Tina5 you did?
Shida5 why! did you like the place?
Tina5 no! /f course not. #hat did they say?
2asey5 they will look into it.
Tina5 should I ask from them to demolish it?
Shida5 good idea.
-eonha5 a"out what you asked me to do?
Shida5 did you 3nd it?
-eonha5 yes. It!s called *reedom high school.
2asey5 what a stupid name, where is this?
-eonha5 I looked for it and apparently it!s in a rural
place.
Shida5 did you get photos?
-eonha5 yes! It!s a "eautiful high school "ut old.
Shida5 old?
-eonha5 I read news that it!s falling apart.
Shida5 now I!m sure this is the place they are going
to.
2asey5 "ut what is it to us where they go?
Tina5 idiot. It!s good to know e'erything they do, so
we can "e one step ahead.
Shida5 it!s more like many steps.
-eonha5 now what?
Shida5 now we wait for day results.
Tina5 and our pro(ect?!
Shida5 we are going to high school.
2asey5 we are?
Shida5 yes!
Tina5 you mean we are going to the same high school
as them. on!t you think the (udges will notice that?
Shida5 no! #e will go to the same place, "ut di.erent
high school. They do ha'e another one, right?
-eonha5 yes. They "uild a new high school not far
from this one, since parents were worried a"out their
children.
2asey5 why can!t we (ust go to our high school (ust
like them?
Shida5 I want to do our pro(ect in the same area, "ut
in a "etter way. In the same time, we can keep an
eye on them.
Tina5 what if you are wrong?
2asey5 yes, what if they aren!t going to do this?
-eonha5 do you mean I didn!t hear it right?
Tina5 no! ='en if you heard it, that doesn!t mean they

Shida5 you are right. 6et!s follow them.
2asey5 follow?!
Shida5 yes!
Tina5 you are scary.
-eonha5 then monday!
2asey5 we know they!ll accept it.
Tina5 she means the surprise.
2asey5 what surprise?
Shida5 did you change the date Tina?
Tina5 e'erything is ready.
Shida5 I can!t wait for Monday.
2asey5 two days left. 0ut what surprise?
Sarah5 I know you are mad, "ut how did they 3nd
that place? idn!t you say no one knows a"out it.
Nural5 can we speak a"out anything else.
Sarah5 why are you mad? Sooner or later you were
going to lea'e that place, the whole institution.
Nural5 "ut not her.
Sarah5 this is why she!s doing it, "ecause she knows
you care a"out it.
Nural5 should I ignore it then?
Sarah5 yes! If you can.
Nural5 I can!t. She (ust take e'erything I ha'e on
purpose and it makes me mad that I can!t do
anything to stop her.
Sarah5 don!t stop her, let her ha'e it.
Nural5 you want me to let her ha'e e'erything.
Sarah5 yes. 0ecause she en(oys watching you going
mad. If you (ust don!t care a"out it, slowly she!ll
retreat.
Nural5 you think that she is the kind of girl who will
retreat.
Sarah5 try it.
4"out the pro(ect.
Nural5 let!s go to someplace where they can!t see us.
Sarah5 you think they followed us?
Nural5 how would they 3nd it then!
Sarah5 do you think they heard what we said?
Nural5 may"e. 0ut they can!t hear a lot from outside.
Sarah5 I hope so.
Nural5 let!s go to your home.
Sarah5 sure. -ou really lo'ed the cookies, didn!t you?
Nural5 your mom is a good cook.
2om I+m home" I broght ,ral with me.
#elcome Nural it!s "een a while. How are you?
I!m 3ne thank you.
2ome ha'e a seat. o you want to eat? 4re you
hungry?
Mom!
Sorry!
#e are going to my room. #e ha'e things to do.
Then I!ll "ring you something to eat. I (ust made a
pie, you want some Nural?
/f course. Thank you.
6et!s go Nural.
-our mom is great. My mom don!t ha'e time to cook.
My dad too.
-our dad!
I mean he works a lot (ust like your mom.
They work in the same company you know.
*orget it.
#hat do you think we should do Sarah?
Sarah5 I told you we should go with high school life.
Nural5 I don!t think it!s a good idea. I think we should
try something more surprising like an old "uilding.
Sarah5 you mean anti;ues?
Nural5 yes. Isn!t it good?
Sarah5 it sure represent memories, "ut it!s hard to
show the people what it means. %lus many people
take photos of anti;ues nowadays.
Nural5 you are right. Then, how a"out we make our
(ourney and share our own memories. It!s special and
uni;ue.
Sarah5 yes. we can e'en take photos of people. 0ut
did you chose the place?
Nural5 not yet. 6et!s look for one now.
Sarah 5 what kind of a place we should go to.
Nural5 I thought of a 'illage.
Sarah5 how a"out our 'illage? It!s "eautiful and we
are familiar with it.
Nural5 no!
Sarah5 stop acting stupid, think of the contest.
Nural5 I feel sad whene'er I remem"er it, so it!s not
good to take photos of places that "ring sad
memories.
Sarah5 sad or happy it!s still a memory.
)an I come in#
2ome in mom.
I "rought you a little snack. =n(oy it.
Mom!
#hat?
