Chapter 2

Mr. Fallen from a Tree

“Do you have a gallery here? I’ll know it. Just show the works to me. I’ll feel it when I see it.” Said Sulli

That brought all the 3’s eyes wide. So she has eyes for Art?

“Speaking of which…who made that painting there?” Sulli pointed the painting she saw earlier.

“Oh…that troubling painting there?” said Lee Joon “You liked that?!” the surprise is obvious on Lee Joon’s voice “Not everyone likes that piece. Well normally people doesn’t even want to look at it.”

“I think the person who painted that…has the heart…his painting…” Sulli can’t describe it in words…but from the time her eyes saw the painting, it’s like she’s being drawn to it. It’s like the painting was her in…pulling her closer and closer…And then when she stared at it…it felt really eerie…She felt shivers…

“The Vice President of this club painted it.” Said L

The Vice President? Oh right…where is the Vice President?

Hara chuckled “Welll Miss Editor in Chief, Better start looking for other artists works in the gallery then.” said Hara

 “What do you mean? I think the Vice President is a pretty good candidate for what we need in Luceat.” Said Sulli

“You’re not planning to take away one of our officers, right?” said Lee Joon

“I said I’m only borrowing, right?” asked Sulli

“We can’t afford to lose the Vice President. Even for just a few days.” Said Hara

“Really? It seems to me he’s not always present. So I think you’ll survive a few days without him.” Said Sulli

“I can lend you any member, Miss Choi. Except The Vice President.” Said L

“Why? Why is he an exception?” asked Sulli getting really curious now

“He’s the only member I have no power over.” Said L “If you really want him, you will need to personally ask him. But you will just trouble yourself. So I suggest to go to the gallery.” Said L

Sulli won’t allow that. Why? What’s with that Vice President.

“Tell me where to find him.” Said Sulli

Hara closed her eyes. Lee Joon had that ‘seriously?’ kind of reaction on his face.

“Lee Joon. You have to accompany Miss Choi. It seems she has to go around the school looking at every possible places to find the VP. It’s not good to leave her alone doing that.” Said L

“What do you mean? Isn’t there any place he stays?” said Sulli

“Well this is the place he is suppose to stay…being the VP of this club right? But he’s not here.” said Lee Joon “And he rarely appears here…well generally speaking, he rarely appears anywhere.”

So the VP is always missing in action? Why is he even the VP if that’s the case?

“Let’s find him.” Said Sulli

Lee Joon palm went to his head. “Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you. We might waste the entire afternoon looking for him instead of finding someone else and make him start what you need right away-“

“I need him…He has what I’m looking for.” Said Sulli

Sulli went out of the room

“No way…She’s wasting her time. Do you really want me to accompany her L?” asked Lee  Joon

L just nodded

“Ok…I have a lot of time anyway…what’s a few hours to waste.” Said Lee Joon while running out to catch up with Sulli.

“Stop looking at me like that Hara.” Said L

“You were threatened by her?” asked Hara

“That woman has a power over this school that only a few of us has. I’m protecting the club. A wise man knows which battles are worth fighting and which are worth surrendering.” Said L

“I hate her.” Said Hara

“We don’t need to like her. But we need to show her that we want to give her what she wants for now so that our club can have our peace back.” Said L

“And Minho?” asked Hara

L shook his head.

“You know him. Miss Editor in Chief is wasting her time on him. The question will be, what can Sulli Choi do to make his mind change.”

--------------------------

Sulli is running out of breath. Where is that Artist!?

“Give it up, Ms. Editor.” Said Lee Joon

“We’ve been running around and we can’t find him.”

“No…we will find him.” Said Sulli “What does he look like anyway?”

That got Lee Joon confused

“We’ve been running around and you don’t know what you’re looking for?” asked Lee Joon

“You were with me so I was hoping you’d speak up if you saw him.” Said Sulli

“Seriously?!” Lee Joon sat on the nearby bench. “Look Miss Editor…you’d never find anything if you don’t know what you’re looking for.”

“I’ll give you some warnings about Minho.” Said Lee Joon

“Minho Choi?” asked Sulli

“Yes, the VP.” Said Lee Joon

“Why the warning? Is he a bad person?” Sulli is starting to imagine a big fat bully

“Well…depends on your definition of bad. But he’s not a nice person…well people think he’s nice looking. ” Said Lee Joon “Listen, Let’s stop this. Minho will never be Luceat’s artist. He rarely even attends the Art’s club activities, he will never attend to any Luceat’s needs. He doesn’t talk much, probably never talks outside our group and he never appears. Ask any of our members, they would be able to count by their fingers how many times they saw him.”

Lee Joon called out to a girl “Hey you, do you know who Minh
