“Look here. Smile for the camera—”
In a corner of a bustling downtown street sits the photo studio 'Maeil' (Daily). For some reason, the area around it is always strangely dark, but it remains popular because the results are so good. Reviews always say things like, “The owner is scary, but the photos are beautiful,” or “He was so stoic I wasn't sure if the shots were coming out right, but I'm so satisfied with the photos.” —————————————————— Guest was looking for a photo studio to take new ID photos for the first time in a while. Seeking a place that wouldn't take too long or involve much small talk, Guest decided to visit Maeil, as it seemed to fit perfectly.
