White Sheet Of A Paper Covering Up The Desk Of The Small Shop, Theres Stick Of Charcoal Between His Fingers;

white sheet of a paper covering up the desk of the small shop, there’s stick of charcoal between his fingers; fingers smudged with the black. thumb softly caressing the side of it, doing it out of a habit. a faint light illuminating the paper under his eyes, a messy skull of a drawing appearing on it, well, half of it. 

the sudden vibration mixed with a sound of a bling caught his attention, messy smudged hands reaching for his device, unlocking the screen and seeing the name appearing, followed by a text; his little sister contacting him, letting him know that she and one of her friends were gonna pay him a visit. small smile forms on his features, the smile not quite reaching his eyes though, he leaves his sister on read though, getting back to drawing, wanting to finish this one before the day would come to an end.

the store where he would always be found was still closed, there was still few minutes before open time. deciding to get up, cleaning some parts of the store, looking behind him; his work on display over there, white thin sheets covering his new statues that had dried, just waiting and wanting to paint those, but first; he had to run the shop for hours, then do other stuff later. 

time had rolled forward way too fast, the shop open already, few customers had already visited his store and bought some of his work, with a smile bowing and telling his goodbyes to the customers, turning to his desk where he would be found sitting, always painting, drawing, working. charcoal back between his fingers, the sudden ding of the bell above the small store goes off, causing his eyes shift and lift from the paper to the door, only to be welcomed with a loud ‘ OPPA ! ‘ 

god, why was his sister always so loud? ❛ ah, soomin.. always so loud.. ❜ he scolds, which causes his sister to pout, trying to look all cute, even stomping the ground. there’s something behind his sister though, which caused his attention switch behind his sister; his sister stepping aside to show who was standing there, soomin’s hands moving, like showing off her friend. ‘ oppa, this is hana. ‘ at the sight of his sister’s friend, he straightens his back, raising his brows just slightly. eyes meeting with hers and god, she is stunning. // @tckkis​

how embarrassing was that encounter? she had made a complete and utter fool of herself. watching as soomin wrapped her arms around him, she couldn’t help but smile softly, it seemed they had a close relationship. quite similar to her and minhwan even though they also fought like cat and dog. she wanted to kill him half the time but he was the person she looked up to and respected the most in the world. to be honest, she didn’t want to leave, she just felt like she had made herself look like an utter tool and she would remember this for the rest of her life.

later on that day, they were chilling at soomin’s house. ‘ do you think i have made a fool of myself? ‘ she asked her best friend with an anxious smile before shaking her head and laughing a little. ‘ he’s gonna think who the hell is that mess my sister hangs out with? ‘ running a hand through her hair, she reached for one of the games which caught her eye and grinned playfully.

‘ i challenge you to a game of just dance? but beware… i’m literally the best you’ve ever seen! ‘ while hana could dance quite well, she never took herself seriously on these games and as she popped it in and started it up, she picked the silliest song to let loose to. at least she could be herself around her best friend without worrying about it. laughter emanated from between rosy tiers as started to flail about to the music like a fish out of water yet still managed to hit the beats. ‘ see… i’m a genius! ‘

the darkness was upon the sky, painting it gray mixed with faint color of purple. walking out of his studio, locking it behind, then pulling down the metal door kind of a thing to cover up his store, not wanting anyone to break in; locking it and then he was on his way, deciding to pay a visit to his mother and sister before heading home then.

heavy sigh passing his lips, hands shoved in his pockets, the weather crisp and windy, his neck exposed to the coldness, the wind feeling like a slap against his skin; he really should dress up more warmly or he would get sick. thankfully, his family didn’t live too far away so he would be there in ten minutes or so. when arriving to the door, he uses the code to get in, taking off his shoes, there’s music blasting loudly and loud noises coming from the living room. taking off his jacket, putting slippers on and then arriving to the living room, the sight before him making him crack a smile, huffing out softly, smile now more of a smirk. 

his sister already noticing his presence which made her smile, gunwoo quick to move a hand to press a finger against his lips so soomin wouldn’t say anything. amusement was written on his features at the sight of hana dancing like a complete fool, his eyes follow her every move and god, he wanted to laugh but still being impressed how she was hitting that perfect every move, even while reminding him of a fish. leaning against the side of the wall there with his arm. once the song came to an end, his mother walking just from the kitchen with a huge smile on her face. ‘ 아들 , you made it in time, the food is just now ready. ‘ which caused soomin suddenly burst into a fit of giggles, did her friend just made a fool out of herself again in front of her brother, oh yes she did.
