Scared

Cedric turned when he heard the sound of the brush connecting with the floor. When he saw Cheng Yu staring wide-eyed at his painting that was basically her painting, he froze. It was much like being caught making a mistake as a kid. 

He had painted it upside–down and because it was a back view of her, she couldn't really recognize herself. But when he was done, he had forgotten that she was still in the studio and excitedly turned it. 

"Why would you paint me?" She expectedly asked. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't find a reasonable excuse for him painting her. 

"Because I like you." He answered like it meant nothing. As though afraid she didn't hear, he looked up at her, his eyes meeting hers. "Cheng Yu, I'm in love with you."
