"Iiiiiiiiiiiiiihhhhh...!" I tried my best to suppress my shriek. I should act mature.. I just feel that I should act like one haha

I feel like I shouldn't make it obvious that it's just my first time coming in here..

I looked through the walls with such awe. These are paintings of the best artists in our country! aaaaaaahhhhh! How can I not be excited?! >3

I was busy gazing up at a painting when I suddenly heard a sound of a camera makes when you shoot.

"Hey! That's not allowed!" I scolded the guy who took a picture. I was fuming mad that I stomped through my way to him. You need to respect the rules in this art museum and no one should break it!

He panicked and it's obvious that he don't know what to do.. Hmph!

"I'm sorry miss.." He apologized and scratched the back of his head "You must have misunderstood me.. Look" He stated and pulled up his I.D. lace..

"I'm a photography student at xxx and I was invited to take pictures of this museum.. It is for commercial use and I have the permission of the personnels. They were the ones who invited me" He explained and smiled after.

He's also studying at xxx... Wait... He's... No. I have no idea who he is.

"Wow.. You must be good to be good to be invited here by them.. Who are you?" I said like a police, interrogating a suspect. I leveled my gaze with his eyes.

"I-I'm Kim Jihyun" He introduced as he stood up straight. There was a slight blush coming out on his cheeks. He's baffled hahahaha

"Sorry Mr. Kim, I was just joking around. Come on, chill" I stated in between my laughs. "By the way, I'm (Y/N). It's nice to meet you." I introduced and offered him a handshake.

"The pleasure is mine.." He said as we shake our hands.

We did wandered and look through the paintings together.. I told him some informations about these paintings.. Most of the time I'm the one who's talking.

"... Actually, they also invited me--" I was interrupted because a woman at mid-forties called Kim Jihyun

"Mr. Kim, we shall see the photographs." She stated. She also noticed me so I waved at her

"Ah! Ms. (Y/N), I hope you considered our request" she said and bowed. I was flustered

"Miss, it's okay. The pleasure's mine" I responded and also bowed. I also nudged Kim Jihyun

"A-ah! Shall we go now?" Jihyun intruded

"Oh! Haha! Excuse us, Ms. (Y/N)." The woman excused them. I nodded and smiled. I also noticed that Jihyun glanced at me before he continued walking

✖️✖️

"AAAAAAAHHHHH WHY DO I ACCEPTED MUCH PROJECTS?!" I whispered under my breathe as I ruffled my hair at frustration.

I'm having a mind block. There are no ideas coming in my mind! 😭 What am I gonna do?!

I impatiently flick my pen as I force myself to have a great idea when someone put something in front of me. It was a cup of coffee.

I looked at this person and the blue haired guy that I met on the art museum surprised me.

"Long time no see" he said as he smiles and sat at the seat in front of me

"Ah.. Hahahaha... Yeah.. How are you?" I asked and tried to smile

"I've been good.. But, you seem like in trouble. Aren't you?" He stated. I was actually surprised as he can say it..

"Yeah.. My mind can't give me good ideas." I answered.

"You don't need to strain yourself.. Relax, ideas will eventually come. Maybe, you need some rest.." He said. I just let out a faint smile.

"Would you mind if I, we rather, go to a spa? I think it would help you relax and feel refreshed. What do you think?" He suggested

Hmm... Well... I haven't have any time for myself since I started working.. I might as well consider this..

"It's okay... I think."

✖️✖️

"Thank you, Mr. Kim" I said and deeply expressed my gratitude by bowing in 90 degrees.

He made a silly face and waved his hands "No, no, it's okay.. And you can call me by my name, it's Jihyun"

I stood up straight and tightened my grip on the strap of my bag.. Why do I feel like I don't want us to part ways?

"Hmm.. Thank you for everything, Jihyun. See ya!" I farewelled and statted to walk away but he called me so I stopped and looked at him

I saw him grinned and waved I responded with a bow then smile.

✖️✖️

Every now and then, we will coincidentally meet at the coffee shop.. Months have passed that it became a routine..

I found myself staring at him whenever I have a chance.. I also noticed that I started sketching him before I sleep.. He just can't get through my mind!

It's kind of a good thing yet disappointing that he didn't came today.. So I just got my sketch book and started scribbling things..

"What are you sketching?" Someone asked from behind. I was startled and hid my sketch book on my chest. Judging by his voice, he's Jihyun. And.... I was sketching him. Ah! I hope he didn't see it!

"Nothing!" I stuttered in between the syllables

"Hmm? Ms. (Y/N), may I have a request? I want to see your sketches.." He said as he smiled and sat in front of me

"Well then, let me see the pictures that you've captured"

We gazed at each other for a long time.. When we both gave up and apologized at each other.

We were surprised but we laughed after.

"I will.. When I'm ready..." We said at the same time

"Jinx!"

"Jinx again!"

We both laughed... I hope he won't walk away when that comes...

✖️✖️

I was surprised because when I came inside the coffee shop, the walls were full of pictures. Pictures of me, to be exact. It was all candid. I freaked out.. How did they? Why is this?

I walked at the counter and tried to speak with the waiter

"H-how did you get all of those?" I asked and grasped the strap of my bag.

"One strawberry frapuccino for Ms. (Y/N)" she answered and gave me the said drink

"W-wait! I didn't ordered one!" I said but she just ignored me.

There was a picture on the glass and had a note. It was me on the art museum, looking at painting.

"They say a picture's worth a thousand words but there are no words for a picture as beautiful as you." I was startled because someone said the same words on the note.

I faced the person and saw Jihyun.

"Did you do all of this?" I asked

"Yes" he replied

"Last week, you asked me what to show the pictures that I've captured and so I did.. I-I know it is kind of creepy... But what can I do? I can't help myself.. I said, I will stare at your pictures until I have the guts to look at you and say what I truly feel.. I.."

"Oh, come on. Just tell her you love her. Let's end this. I want to eat already.." My attention drifted to the guy who spoke.. He looks younger than us.. He's a blonde and short guy..

Wait... He loves me? What?!

"Well... Yeah.. I love you (Y/N). From the first time I saw you.. I know, you don't need to answer me. I just want to let you know.." He stated and scratched the back of his neck after..

I didn't said a word, instead, I let him see my sketch book..

He looked at it with such amusement... But I feel nervous and butterflies on my stomach.

It's full of my skecthes of him and at the last page is a portrait of him that I just finished.

"That's how you sticked into my mind.. You just can't get out of my mind. Aren't you tired of running in it?" I said and laughed but to be honest, it feels like my chest would explode.

"He's been smiling a lot to himself and and wrote such corny poetries.. And that's all your fault, Ms. (Y/N)" The blonde guy said nonchalantly

Jihyun's face is now red as a tomato.. This is the first time I saw him blush as he's always relaxed.

"(Y/N).."

"I love you too, Jihyun." I said with my heart pounding off my chest..

He held both of my hands and kissed them.

"(Y/N), I want to have a picture of us together.. I'm done of just staring at your photographs.. I've gathered all my strength here to ask you.. Will you be my long term project?"

I hugged him and whispered my answer. I felt him hug me tighter..

"Ah, Ms. (Y/N), he also want to ask you this" The blonde guy suddenly spoke. I looked at him and waited for him to continue

"Do,you do it--" He didn't have the chance to continue it because Jihyun closed his mouth

I chuckled at them.. This is the happiest day of my life.

This is the first time that I've receive the most essential and exquisite art.. The art of love.
