Jun Ching's workshop is an average size of a house. Although small, it is complete in every painting and acrylic needs. The workshop is his earning success throughout the years of blood and sweat. The only thing he most proud of aside from his talent.
His workshop is divided in 3 division- The Art class, Paint Room and his office. It also has only 2 workers. 1 for is the Art teacher and the other is an errand boy.
Jun Ching is an orphan to begin with. Even though, he was successfully adopted, he is infact with an odd conflict with his adopted parents. They want him to pursue doctorial degree to the point of pressuring him since they thought painting won't earn him money.
He struggle to satisfy them in any way but it makes no less effort. Until it made him forced to ran away.
To earn his living, Jun Ching entered every kind of possible jobs he can apply. From waiter, to janitor. Construction worker and even to the point of collecting trash.
Sometimes he thought of looking for his biological family. He wanted to know why he was abandoned. He wanted to know why he was thrown. Is it because of he is different? Are they disgusted about him? Knowing that he can get pregnant that they decided to get rid of him instead.
Even with poor educational background, Jun Ching manage to make a name for himself. The thing he didn't abandoned is his love for painting. Whenever he has time, he practice his painting skills using a stick of coal. His passion in this aspect gain him the appreciations of tens of people, until it slowly increases to hundreds, to thousands up untill one of his proudly work is displayed in the biggest Art Museum in the country- The Platinum Art Display Museum.
His success never ends there. He was recruited to several art company. Introduced and meet several big names but Jun Ching remains humble. With great connections he could have his own place to the top but instead he left the spotlight and begun to explore his career on his own.
When Jun Ching arrived, he slowly walk inside his workshop. In the past, it is full of life and scenery. The smile of his employees everytime he walk by. The joy and laughter of his students whenever they are praised. The acrilic paintings that are splattered everywhere creating a beautiful combination of colors like a paradise. He missed them all.
Now, it is still the same. The warm feeling is replace with cold and deafening silence.
The tree he used to take care of suddenly withered. The grass that are specially prune by grows larger that it almost reach his knees. And the bright wooden wall are now covered with dust and dirt.
Jun Ching felt dishearten. He never thought that one day, people will stop coming into his workshop. That no one will be able to trust him again. Just because of a mistake he never did.
Jun Ching reach the door. He hesitate as he was about to twist the knob and sigh.
Forget it. Now that he was given a chance of rebirth, he'll do anything he could to atleast avoid the future disaster in his life. He'll make things right this time without relying to this Li Yang bastard even if he get pregnant.
The moment Jun Ching open the door, he instantly inhaled the dust and cough.
Right, he never come back to his workshop a month later when the issue of his scandal is announced. At that time, he was hiding in his apartment, afraid of being treated like a dirty whore and such. He never once come out. His mind was blocked with endless voices of disgusted people pointing at him including his adopted parents. Not until he slowly developed anxiety and had always have a terrible dream.
He only reach out the outside when he notice the drastic changes of his body and needs to seek medical attention.
He consulted to a special psychiatrist and was prescribed with pills and vitamins. Jun Ching's life slowly getting better though there are still occasional panicked attack whenever he could hear gossips out of nowhere.
Jun Ching entered inside covering his mouth and nose with his arm while the other hand is waving into the midair.
His vision wandered around. How come it become like this? No matter how much he tried to remember about his past issue, he can no longer get back the memory he lost. He never even once thought of investigating it because he knew it will fail.
Jun Ching went straight to his office. He open the door and was completely stunned. He couldn't believe what he saw. The place where he always burn midnight candle is spotless. It is tidy and clean. Even the furniture, paintings and stuff are still intact. The table and swivel chair he missed most are still in place. It is as if someone is deliberately cleaning only his office. But who could it be?
Jun Ching doesn't know anyone other than his 2 former employees but why? Why would they waste their time cleaning his office? Can't they atleast clean the whole workshop while they're at it?
Jun Ching pondered. Could it be Shi Que did this? Or Ming Cai? They both are hardworking and loved working here before and are the only one who believed in his innocence.
Whatever. Who might it be still Jun Ching is wholeheartedly grateful.
Jun Ching open up the drawer in his table and took the USB drive. He also took several important papers and documents and paintings. Before leaving, Jun Ching wrote down in a piece of paper the word 'Thank You' to express of his gratitude towards the one who clean up his office. After that, he went back home.
He called a cab and sit in the backseat. This time around is a rush hour. Sure enough, if the eldriver won't take another route they'll be stuck in a longline of traffic jam.
On their way, Jun Ching stumbled upon a familiar bar. Even if it is a bit far away, he could recognize the sign board. It was the same bar where he meet the scum.
Thinking back, Jun Ching wanted to slam his head until he forget that night. If only he knew much earlier about his condition, he won't have even bothered walking in to that place.
Jun Ching isn't gay to begin with. He only went to that bar out of curiosity since it gain quite popularity the moment it opens. He thought of it as a normal bar without even noticing the people who come and go. Not until that bastard Li Yang hook up on him, booked a hotel room and eat him up.
The most regretful thing Jun Ching ever did is that he even enjoyed being eaten despite being a man. Who knew a deed between men are so adventurous, wild and exciting.
"Why? Why?" Jun Ching mumbles under his breath. How come he like that thing? How come he let a man entered him? And the worst thing is he didn't feel a bit disgusted. Just why?.
