"Why are you stalling?" He asked before he resumed painting.
"I told you I don't care about what it is you paint, every mistake is a lesson to make us better... Make this mistake so that you can learn not to make it next time." He said before picking a photo reference of a bird and started painting layer by layer with his hands holding hers tight.
Inside of him, he knew how wrong the posture seems to be but, he really doesn't care, he just wanted to remove the space between them and savor her scent. he had missed that soft floral scent, actually its more like an Amish Quilt fragrance.
She had gone away for only two days and he missed 'that tender, sun-kissed florals of heliotrope and jasmine with a soft blend of woody violet and herbaceous anise that creates a cozy scent of pure comfort' that welcomes him every day.
Upon seeing her standing over there cluelessly, her charm made him thirst for the comfort of that fragrance, hence the awkwardness. But soon he came back to his senses. ' This girl is surely intoxicating' he thought to himself before withdrawing to stand by her side.
Dan-bi's head was muddled because of the awkward closeness but she relaxed when he moved away to a less awkward position, though still holding her hands she felt at ease.
Soon after, the two continued painting together but Dan-bi retrieved her hand from his grip. " I can continue on my own now, thank you for your help." And she continued the painting.
Yo-han watched with admiration how skillful she is, her hand movements were very flexible and it was as if he is watching himself in her. That's exactly how he moves Hahaha, seems like he had rubbed a little part of himself in her Hahaha. 'Thank me later' he said to himself.
Dan-bi herself was surprised with how she moved, she was painting like a real professional and like magic she felt like she was a master already and everything was just flowing out of her with ease. Withing a few minutes she completed the little bird and she was satisfied with the result, even though it's not as spectacular as Yo-Han's, it was satisfying and it blended well with everything else that's already on the canvas.
Finally she felt like she was born for this, it was like the discovery of a treasure and she is willing to find more of it until she has a castle full of it. It's clearly visible that she had not had enough, she wanted to do more, and more but sadly there was nothing more to do. There was only one canvas, what else could she do?...???... Then an evil smile crawled over her face as she thought of something childish to satisfy her craving.
Yo-han was admiring his superpowers of making rapid changes in people especially Dan-bi, he knew he had this undeniable presence, but he didn't know he could affect and influence people just by doing something in their presence or by touching that aspect that the change affects. He remembered how she started studying only because she saw him studying and now just by touching her, she uncovered the depths that she never knew existed and brought forth a river of abilities
This gave him the assurance that he is meant to be a leader, and once he leads, others will follow and turns of good tidings surely will be the aftermath.
He was in this state when he felt brush stroke on his face and he jolted uncontrollably, brushing her hands away from his face and causing a smear on his plain white shirt with blue paint.
" What are doing??!!!...haha!!!...stop the joke!" He shouted as he tried to retrieve the paint brush from her but she struggled with him which caused his shirt to be smeared more and more.
Seeing this he also took a paint brush and dipped it in paint wanting to take his revenge, but he stopped when he felt two gazes directed at them. At the same time he and Dan-bi shifted there gazes to Seuk-Chin and Mr Seo who are watching from afar with Seuk-Chin approaching and Mr Seo seated in the driver's seat.
"Ahem" Yo-han cleared his throat as he dropped the paint brush and started cleaning everything and parking everything.
Finally Dan-bi's nerves also calmed and she joined in parking.
Seuk-Chin also arrived and joined the activity, while 'rolling on the ground in laughter' in his head due to the scene that he just witnessed between the duo.
After everything was set, Yo-han personally handled the painting and safely delivered it to the car. He then went to a public restroom and changed out of the stained shirt back into his uniform's shirt. 'what a relief that he had a spare cloth', because even if he wore a jacket on it, it will not cover all the stains since a lot of it are at the collar and chest regions
He sighed in relief and went back to the car. On getting to the car, Dan-bi was laughing her ass out while the other two were shaking their heads for her childish behavior. Yo-han was surprised and he gave a 'What's going on' look but no one answered him, Dan-bi just laughed more and more.
Since he noticed that in a few days this was the first time she laughed, he decided to let her be but he was still curious as to why she is laughing.
Then He ordered the chauffeur to head to Mari Hospital HQ." No I am going home, Nana is okay and she is back home, I don't have anything to do at the hospital." She said immediately.
Haha no wonder she is back to her normal self, see how she was laughing like a psycho just now.
"To the Choi Mansion then," he said and gave directions to Mr Seo.
At the Choi Mansion, the car packed in front of the gate and Dan-bi alighted. Before going in she turned to Yo-han and said, " See you at school tomorrow,.. and don't clean that blue paint on your face, it fits your handsome face very well.... Hahaha, see you tomorrow ." And off she went, full of joy to her base, 'Home sweet Home'.
Yo-han froze immediately he heard her mockery. That explains the reason behind her laughter earlier, she was making jest of him since and he knew not. He forgot that she had stained his face with the paint earlier. 'So she thinks it's funny?, But why did the two guys not say anything.'
Just as if Seuk-Chin heard his thoughts, he handed Yo-han a white handkerchief before replying. " She made us zip our mouths".
Of course Dan-bi was capable of persuading them not to tell. But who is the boss here, shouldn't they be after his well being instead? Huh?. He sighed and wiped off the paint stain.
