Painting Love

Painting is one of the most beautiful works of art that ever existed,, with colors that form a beautiful picture,, everyone would be like painting. But for Kris,, the painting has a much deeper meaning. Painting is one of the languages ​​of love .. at least that's what somebody taught him

Kris sat next to a large window covered by white curtains,, his eyes staring blankly while his hand touched the painting in front of him gently. Kris was drawing a simple picture,, sketch of a girl with long hair,, chubby cheeks and a warm smile.

" Painting with love .. " He muttered very quietly almost like a whisper

Sad smile appeared on his handsome face,,

Flasback,,

" What are you drawing? " Said a little girl with shiny brown hair over her shoulder,, pointing to the paper in front of a guy that is a few months older than her

" This ? "

" Hmm "

" Cann’t you see this is a dragon? " The little boy said proudly

" Dragon? " Young brunette tilting her head " I think it's a duck " she added innocently

" Hya !! you do not see he has sharp teeth and wide wings ? where there is a sharp-toothed duck? " The little boy pouted

The little brunette chuckled,,

" I'm sorry,, but I can not see if your picture was a dragon or ducks " she now laughs loudly

The little guy bend his arms and pouted again,,

" See,, one day I will become a great painter and you must call Piccaso!! " He added in a serious tone

Eight years later,,

" Piccaso !! " A tall girl with brown hair running fast,, waving

Meanwhile,, not far away a man looks in desperation tapped his forehead and then turned around.

" Hey Piccaso!! " Said the girl cheerfully

" How many times I have to tell you ? don’t call me with that stupid name again !! "

" Why ? You are asking by yourself "

" Yes,, but it used to when I was a kid !! you didn’t see the girl looked at me strangely !! " He said with a look around

The brunette looks a bit moody but immediately smiling again,, she reached out her hand and pinched Piccaso boy cheek.

" Owuu ... our Kris,, now he's grown up and adored by many girls " she said

" Hya !! stop it Choi Sooyoung !! "

Sooyoung releases her hand and they both go hand in hand,,

" How about the paint contest for the next month ? you were coming ? " Sooyoung asked

" Of course,, I have to win "

" just relax Kris,, you've won a lot of contests "

" I want to give a medal to my mother as a birthday gift "

Sooyoung stopped suddely and turned to Kris,,

" What ? "

Sooyoung smiled broadly,,

" That is so sweet " Sooyoung said cheerfuly

Kris just chuckled see the behavior of his friend,,

" Okay kids,, today we're going to paint something simple but meaningful "

Mr. Han was standing in front of the class while all of his students looked at him with curiosity.

" Remove your painting tools and after that I'll tell duties " he added meaningfully smile at the end of his sentence,,

" He's a little crazy " Kris whispered very softly but still can be heard by Sooyoung

" You're crazy,, Mr. Han is the greatest teacher ever " said Sooyoung,, who also whisper

" Yes,, he is a genius. But genius people are usually crazy " Kris said,, rolling his finger on the side of his head.

Sooyoung could not help but chuckle,,

" Then you too crazy "

" Me ? why ? "

" Because you are painting contest winner who always smile to yourself every time the girls screaming for you "

Kris grinned,,

" It's not my fault,, blame those who are easily lured by the charm of my good looks" Kris said with confidence

Sooyoung pretended to vomit,,

" Too confident ! " Sooyoung sneered

Kris had wanted to answer but canceled because it seems not only him but Sooyoung also saw a pair of legs walking towards them both.

" Is this the whole time that you need to take the painting equipment in your bag ? " Mr. Han was standing in front of them with both hands on his waist

" No sir " Sooyoung said

" Forgive us " Kris added

Mr. Han just shook his head and turned around before walking back to the front of the class. Kris and Sooyoung pointed behind,, blaming each other.

" Well,, now your job is to draw a person "

Sooyoung who is currently hitting Kris shoulder stopped suddenly and turned to the front,,

" But not just anyone .. " Mr. Han added with an expression full of mystery as usual " you would draw someone that you love "

Unwittingly either by herself or Kris,, a small smile appeared on Sooyoung lips.

" Sir ? " A student who sat two seats in front of Sooyoung pick hands in the air,,

" Yes Mr. Xi ? "

" What if we had a lot of people that we love ? for example,, we do have two parents right ? "

Mr. Han scratched his chin,, thinking for a moment.

" Thank you Mr. Xi,, you give me one more idea " Mr. Han replied " how about we make these personal tasks between you and me ? "

" Mean sir ? " This time Sooyoung asked with enthusiasm

" Well .. someone you love here is not a parent or sibling,, but other people who make you fall in love "

All children silent and hold their breath,, even Kris who had been complaining also silent. Kris is very good at painting,, but he had a bad etitude. He never abide by the teachers in school but always able to complete all their tasks well and even won many championships painting since he entered junior high school.

" You guys have as much time as possible until you graduate from this school to finish my task,, as a reward for your paintings I will give a special surprise that I still keep secret "

" But what if we do not fall in love even until we pass "

Sooyoung quickly turned to the owner of the question and glared at him,,

" What ? " Kris shrugged innocently

Sooyoung would have mumbled something but Mr. Han was standing in front of them again for the second time,,

" You will Mr. Wu,, you'll fall in love " Mr. Han said that seemed very confident

" How do you know sir ? " Kris was asked stubbornly

Mr. Han took a small breath and once again issued a knowing smile,,

" Do you know that the painting is not just a work of art instead ? " Mr. Han asked the whole class " painting is one of the languages ​​of love "

" Other languages ​​in love " Sooyoung muttered softly,, she turned secretly and smiled a little.

" You can express love with a painting that you made and you could make a painting with the love that you feel " he finished his sentence just as the bell sounded throughout the school

" It would be a fun task for you,, find a love that makes you paint and make paintings with love, " he added before he was completely out of the classroom

" Hya Piccaso " Sooyoung shouted right in Kris ear

Kris,, who was sitting and dreamily in Sooyoung balcony jumped in surprise and brushing his right ear with annoyance

" What the hell are you doing this  "

" What the hell are you "

" I called you from downstairs until my throat move to my mouth but you did not hear " Sooyoung also annoyed

" Ah really? "Kris asked innocently

Sooyoung just rolled her eyes and sat next to Kris,,

" Why did you come ? "

" My parents do not come home tonight " Kris said gloomily

Sooyoung saw sadness in Kris face of,, he will always jump to the balcony of her room whenever he was feeling bad. They would spend hours sitting together to look at the stars and all will feel better

" You want me to stay at your place again ? " She asked softly

" Hmm " Kris nodded, " but I don’t have a snack " he added

Sooyoung chuckled,,

" We will buy it in a store near there " Sooyoung said

" Thank you Youngie .. "

" Nothing Piccaso "

They again fell silent and stared at the starry night sky,,

" Sooyoungie .. "

" Hmm ? "

" You've got the idea for the task of Mr. Han ? "

Sooyoung suddenly straightened up,,

" Ehm .. I don’t know,, I'm not sure " she said softly " are you? "

" I don’t get any ideas " Kris said " what if I could not finish my task ? "

" Do you mean? "

" What if I do not fall in love until later graduated from high school ? "

Sooyoung gape while before burst out laughing,,

" What's so funny? " Kris asked half surprised half annoyed

" Y-you " Sooyoung said while still laughing

" Why ? "

After trying hard to stop her laughter,, Sooyoung took a deep breath before speaking.

" Mr. Han gave this task is not for us to fall in love Mr. Genius "

" Then? "

" Do you remember when I always tell you if there is something missing in your painting? "

" Ehmm .. " Kris was trying to remember" yeah "

" Now I know what it is "

" What? "

" Love ! You do not use love to paint,, and that's what Mr. Han asked us to do "

Kris tried hard to understand Sooyoung words,,

" Should I use love to paint? "

" Of course you have to " Sooyoung smiled sweetly " because if you use love in every painting that you created,, then you will give the whole feel in any color that you made and all who see it will be able to feel what you feel "

" This " Kris handed a bottle of orange juice on Sooyoung

" Thank you " Sooyoung smiled brightly

They were sitting on a bench near a small fountain in front of the school to enjoy their lunch break,,

" Youngie .. " Kris said suddenly

" Hmm? " Sooyoung mumbled,, was trying to open her orange juice

" I want to ask you something " Kris sounded a little hesitant

" What? "

Now she started downing her drink,,

" Have you ever been in love? “

Sooyoung squirts her juice she just drank and coughed loudly,, Kris is shocked immediately patted her back gently.

" What's with you ? " Kris asked with worry

" I-I'm f-fine " Sooyoung replied haltingly

After ten minutes to recover from her terrible choking,, Sooyoung finally was able to breathe again.

" You sure have been better? " Kris asked again

" Hmm " Sooyoung just nodded weakly

" Why are you really? "

" I'm just a little surprised "

" Why be surprised? "

" Your question was the one that surprised me stupid!! "

" Why with my question? " Kris said innocently

" How can in broad daylight like this you suddenly asks something like that? " Sooyoung said irritably

" I'm just wondering if you ever fall in love,, I didn’t ask if you ever killed ? so don’t go overboard Miss Giraffe "

Sooyoung growl with despair and rolled her eyes,

" You have not answered "

" Tch!! You've made ​​me almost choke to death and now I still have to answer your questions? "

" Not me who told you to choke " Kris replied lightly

" Gosh,, I was really going crazy - okay okay! "

Sooyoung's face began to red before she replied,, but it was not because she was still angry.

" Honestly .. I've fallen in love "

Now even Kris was also choked by his own juice,, he coughs so hard and spilling most of the juice. Sooyoung patted Kris slowly,,

" Why choke? You don’t believe I ever fall in love? " Sooyoung said,, looks a little offended

" N-not b-because of it .. " Kris said with a hoarse voice

" Then? "

Kris took a deep breath and cleared his throat before answering,,

" You never told me all this time "

Sooyoung become embarrassed,,

" Y-you n-never asked "

" Should I ask first so you tell me? how do I know you're in love or not? "

A bitter smile appeared on Sooyoung lips,,

" I do not have the courage to tell you " she said softly with her ​​ gloom eyes

" You should have told me,, I'm your best friend "

Something twitched in Sooyoung hearts,,

" How it feels? " Kris asked again

" What? "

" Falling in love "

" Your heart will beat fast every time you just look at him,, every night you have always dreamed of him and in a sad or happy the first person you remember was him "

Kris silent and listen it well,, tried to take in his heart.

" If you see him get hurt,, you will be ten times more hurt and if you see him happy,, you will be ten times happier " Sooyoung continued

" I still do not understand " Kris said innocently after a long silence,,

Sooyoung rolled her eyes again,,

" You'll understand if you're feeling it "

" Who is that man? " Kris asked curiously

" Who? "

" Man you love,, who is he? do I knew him? "

Sooyoung thought for a moment,, her face was as red as a tomato but Kris was not surprised at all.

" I'm not ready to say it .. maybe if the time is right,, I'll tell you later "

Kris and Sooyoung were chatting in the back of the class with Sehun and Luhan when suddenly the class door opened and Mr. Yoon appeared from behind it.

" Good afternoon students "

" Good afternoon sir "

" Before we start class this afternoon,, I brought a new friend for you "

The whole class full of whispers that grew louder and louder,,

" Our class is full enough without having added the new kid " Kris sputter

" Shut up Grumpy! " Sooyoung said

A girl with long black hair over her shoulder walked into the classroom. She looks beautiful with her ​​pale white skin,, cute chubby cheeks flushed red,, big black eyes and her pink lips.

" Introduce yourself Miss " said Mr. Yoon

" Good afternoon all,, my name is Seo Jung Hyun but you can call me Seohyun " Seohyun said with a very soft voice

The whole class started bustling again,, Sooyoung were surprised that not hear Kris grumbled again turned to her side.

“ Are yo – “

Kris like being hit by a hypnotic,, his eyes staring blankly ahead with his mouth wide open. His hand on his chest as if he was having a heart attack.

" Kris? " Sooyoung calling in a low voice

Kris did not move,, Sooyoung held out her hand and nudged his shoulder.

" Kris? "

Kris is still not moving,, she finally punch hard enough and make Kris flinched.

" What? " He said irritably

" What's with you? "

Instead of answering Kris even smiling broadly,,

" I guess .. I will soon finish my work "

Kris got busy doing his way to ensure his own feelings on Seohyun. He tried to approach every time there is a chance and get to know her more. And the more time goes on,, just need a month to Kris deadly that he had indeed fallen in love with Seohyun at first sight.

All the time Kris spends much of his time with Seohyun,, accompanied her to all the places,, go for a walk with her,, eat together,, watch movies and a lot of things. Kris seems to have found his own world,,

" Hi Youngie " he said one day when he visited Sooyoung balcony room

" O-oh hi " Sooyoung sounds a little awkward

He walked over and sat next to Kris,,

" Hey, you cut your bangs? " Kris sounded surprised

" So much shocked did you? " Sooyoung smiled a little

" Eh? " Kris scratched his head awkwardly " yeah .. You so rarely seen in school,, so I don’t know much what you're doing " he added with a grin

" Not me who is rarely seen in school but that you don’t have time to see me again "

Kris sighed,,

" Yeah .. I hope you understand,, Seohyun and I'm getting close and we spend a lot of time together "

Sooyoung just a small nod,, and then both are soluble in an awkward quiet atmosphere.

" Weird huh? " Sooyoung finally speak out

" What? "

"Awkward feeling like this had never happened to us before,, but look now "

Kris seemed well aware of it,,

" Hmm .. all can be changed,, Sooyoungie "

" Did our friendship also has changed? "

" Neh? "

" Just me or do you also feel it Kris,, we became more and more distant .. not like it used to "

Kris tried to find the right word,,

" We will grow up one day and have a life of each of us,, you and your little family and I with my little family. We'll get married and live our lives each "

" And that means our friendship is over? " Sooyoung swallowed

" I do not know .. "

They pause,,

" How are you with Seohyun? " Sooyoung asked

" We're getting closer,, and I'm more confident with my feelings " Kris said cheerfully " I even have finished painting" he added,, pulling a painting he brought.

Sooyoung could see clearly,, Kris painting of a girl with long black wavy hair,, chubby cheeks,, big black eyes and a sweet smile. A second later Sooyoung smiled warmly,,

" This Seohyun? " She asked quietly

" Yeah "

" So you've decided that he was the one who would you paint? "

" Hmm !! "

" You painted it with love? "

" Hmm" Kris nodded eagerly " with all the love that I feel "

Kris looked at paintings with pride but then turned quickly at the sound of another voice.

" Are you crying? " Kris asked

" Hmm " Sooyoung small nodded

" Why Sooyoungie? what is it? "

In the midst of her cry,, Sooyoung chuckled but sounded weak.

" I'm glad you're still worrying me "

" Soo !! "

" If one day you or I already have our small family .. Can’t we still be best friends? "

Kris held out his hand and wiped Sooyoung tears,,

" We will be friends forever " he said sincerely

Sooyoung cries grew louder in Kris's arms, as if he was trying to tell something.

One year later,,

Kris drove alone on the streets of Seoul were still crowded though the sun has begun to eliminate his light. His face was hard to guess,, there happiness,, sadness and also a bit of confusion in his eyes

“ Sooyoungie ? “

A woman with a black coat sitting on a bench,,

" Kris,, you coming? "

" Hmm " Kris nodded before sitting next to Sooyoung " what is it? "

Sooyoung paused before taking something from her red bag,,

" This " She held out a purple object " I'm getting married next month "

Kris looked at purple invitation in his hand,, he opened the first page and saw photos of Sooyoung and her future husband hand in hand and smiling very happy. Written underneath with a gold color ' Choi Sooyoung and Jung Kung Ho ‘

“ C-congratulations " Kris said very softly but can be heard by Sooyoung

Sooyoung looked at the man next to her in desperation,, she tried to hold something that is likely to explode.

" And this .. " She handed something big rectangular wrapped in brown paper

" What is this? "

" Open " Sooyoung said in a trembling voice

Kris ripping the wrapping paper slowly,, little by little until the inside began to appear. Kris pretty sure that it is a painting but his hand stopped suddenly when the image in the painting was able to see clearly.

" T-this .. " He said in a voice choked

Kris looked over and saw Sooyoung had tears in her eyes,,

" Stupid " Sooyoung muttered with hand pressing ,,

Kris turned again to painting at his hand in disbelief. Sooyoung gave him a painting of a person,, a painting of a man with blond hair,, piercing eyes and a sweet smile. Written at the bottom : With all the love that I've got - Kris

" S-Sooyoung .. "

" I can’t tell you Kris .. " Sooyoung has been wiped her tears,, but her voice still trembling " I love you since the day you give me your first painting .. a simple painting you gave to me "

Kris looked at Sooyoung right in her eyes,, see clearly regret and pain that this girl store.

" And my love continues to grow since that day,, I even think that I can not live without you "

" W-why Soo .. why do not you tell from the first? "

" I never had a chance " Sooyoung sounded weak " you never realize my feelings .. you continue to think of me as your best friend and therefore I didn’t have a chance. You're the first is a stupid man who does not know love,, until then Seohyun come and change you. That's when I realized that I was too late .. "

" I'm sorry .. I .. "

" I was so scared when I asked it possible that our friendship is over .. I was quite hurt when I had to accept that I'm just going to be your best friend forever .. "

" I .. "

Sooyoung started crying again now,, and for some reason the most part in Kris heart also feels sore when he saw Sooyoung crying.

" I painted this on the eve of the last time you came to my balcony,, the day when you finally tell your feelings for Seohyun and I never hand over this task to Mr. Han"

Kris did not realize what he was doing next and where he could bravery it, but he gently covers Sooyoung face and moved closer. One sincere kiss he used to express how sorry he is now and that he .. finally been realized,, Sooyoung had more place in his heart

" Can we start again from the beginning? "

Kris asked,, his eyes began to fill with tears but Sooyoung did not speak out to answer. She just slowly raised her right hand as if to show something on Kris. Kris turned slightly and saw there,, a beautiful gold ring has a circular on one of her finger,, proving that she has a real belongs to someone else.

" Kris .. "

Kris reverie was interrupted by a voice,, a blonde girl with a beautiful face look at him.

" neh Jess? "

" Mr. Han called you to make sure you will come? "

" Okay Jessica, I'm on my way"

" Okay,, I'll tell him "

Jessica smiled slightly and disappeared behind a wooden door. Kris still did not move after Jessica disappeared from the door,, once again he looked at the painting in front of him with sad.

" Can I still submit this painting? " He muttered

Kris sighed before standing up from his seat and eventually walked out of his room.

Snow began to fall when Kris arrives at his former school building,, feels cold and stifling.

" Good afternoon Mr. Han " Kris greeted as he arrives in the staffroom

" Oh Kris, how are you? "

" Good sir,, thank you "

" What brings you here Kris? "

" Did I can still submit it sir? "

Kris pulled out two paintings from under the seat,,

" Painting? " Mr. Han frowned

" Neh "

" The task you give me a few years ago "

Mr. Han smiled a little,,

" Why are there two? "

" This is mine " he pointed sketch of a girl " I want to swap the first with this " he added

" And this? " Mr. Han looked at Kris

" This belongs to .. " Kris throat choked " belongs to my best friend "

Mr. Han smiled warmly at Kris,,

" The selfish me now who only thought about myself,, and the unmindful me who did not know your feelings " Mr. Han spell a paragraph on the back of Kris painting,, he then switched to read another sentence in the second painting " With all the love that I've got - Kris " he concluded sadly staring at Kris

" You've learned a lot? "

Kris just nodded,,

" You did a great painter Kris,, but you never paint with your heart .. that's why you can not feel the love that is supposed to be so close to you, " said Mr. Han wise

Kris walked out of the door into the front yard building again, the sky had turned dark and the snow was still falling. Kris looked up at the night sky without stars,,

" I guess my love for you will continue forever .. and I will always paint with my love for you "
