Sunny POV

It has been 4 months. We had moved from Seoul, Korea to Paris, France. 

Luckily, Yoona got a friend who live here named Marissa. She is french but she knows how to speak in Korean which makes it easy for us to communicate with her.

Marissa helped us a lot in finding a place to live in, how to fit in, which places to go and visit, she also helped us to open up a new small business.

I have managed to open up a small bar since i love alcohol, beer, etc. Yoona and Minho worked with me here. its only us three for the first month, only after we gained a little bit more income, we decided to hire few other staffs to help.

"is she drawing something new?", Minho's question broke me off of my thoughts

i was wiping the glass when Minho suddenly stood beside me. i followed where Minho was looking and saw Taeyeon's focusing on her medium size sketch book while drawing

"she should start drawing something huge and use a canvas already. she could become an artist", Yoona joined us and put the napkin on the bar's table

Taeyeon had done nothing except for drawing, drawing and drawing. she havent say anything to us ever since we left Seoul

i miss her. i miss hearing her voice. but she wont talk to any of us. and im really worried about her

"she looks calm", Minho muttered and i couldnt agree more

"Marissa said she got 2 free tickets for art exhibition. she offered me to come with her but i think i should decline and offer Taeyeon unnie instead. what do you think unnie?", Yoona asked me

"that would be a great idea. should we ask her now?", i asked and Yoona nodded immediately

"ok lets go, before the bar's open time is on", i said

we all went to Taeyeon who's still drawing. she stopped and lifted her head up. i only give her a smile before i took a seat acrossed her

"Yoona said, Marissa got free tickets for art exhibition. its for 2 people only. she asked Yoona to come but Yoona is not really into art, right Yoong?", i said and asked Yoona at the end

"right. i dont think i'll enjoy the exhibition too. so im thinking if maybe you can go with Marissa, do you want to?", Yoona asked Taeyeon

"it can be a good opportunity for you noona", Minho said trying to make Taeyeon agree to go

Taeyeon kept quiet for few seconds before she looked back at us

"you want to go?", i asked her 

she then shrugged

"yes?", i asked again and this time she nodded

we sighed in relief and feel happy for her response

"i'll tell Marissa!", Yoona said excitedly and excused herself to call Marissa

Me and Minho looked at each other and smiled silently

few days later . . .

Taeyeon POV

"this is it. section A is only simple art. you would find more unique ones at section B", Marissa told me once we entered the exhibition venue

there are quiet a lot of people gathered here to enjoy the arts being display here

"today is the first day so we'll get to see the artist and if we're lucky, we could have a chance to talk to him", Marissa said while i just nodded and looked around

"please make yourself comfortable and enjoy ok? i'll go find my boss first", Marissa told me and i just nodded again before she left to somewhere

i walked around, looking through of each and every arts/drawings in this exhibition

then i went to section B, and true to Marissa's words, this section is showing another level kind of art and drawing

just then, i noticed one big drawing that filled half of the corner's wall so i went there to look further 

its a drawing of a place, seems like a windy place with some bushes and the color is black and white. this drawing seems empty and lonely but i dont know, it kinda attracts my attention

while i was trying to look more in details about this drawing, a french man approached me and speaks in french

i just looked blankly at him as i dont understand whatever he was saying. then he chuckled before he speaks again, but this time in english which i understand

"my apology. a foreigner?", he asked and i nodded my head twice

"no wonder. so you understand english?", he asked and i nodded again

"good. anyway, i noticed you earlier and had observed you for a while. i also noticed the way you look at the arts here. but the moment you went to this drawing, i cant help but to approach you", he said and i furrowed my eyebrows as i was confused

"i dont know how did i ended up to draw this one", he said

oh. so he's.. an artist? this is him then

"i tried to finish up this painting but i dont know how and what to add. so yeah, the drawings finally becomes like this. but its a waste if i only keep it at home so i decided to just put it out for a display", he explained

"so far, no one has ever feel interested in this one but you.. what makes you feel attract to this painting if you dont mind me asking? this painting clearly showing an-"

"emptiness and loneliness. the bushes that you draw like it were blew up by the wind make me hear a sad melody when i look at it", i finally speaks to someone after a long time

i looked at the man and he smiled widely at me

"you understand art a lot. im impressed! do you love art and paintings?", he asked

"i do. ever since i was young. and i also draw", i replied

"thats great! you know what? how about you try to do something about this empty painting? you can add anything to make it more.. i dont know, just to attract people to look at it?", he asked

i looked back at the painting before i looked at him again

"let me see your work. and if i like it, i'll pay you a good amount of money", he offered

"ok", i agreed and smiled a little

'i think i finally found myself again. this... is my world', i thought

i have exchanged numbers with the artist and got to know his name, he is Alex Kruger. 

after talking for a little more with him, i excused myself and promised to call him soon. 

before going home, i thanked Marissa for bringing me to the exhibition and i went back to the apartment

"oh you're home? come on join us, we just ordered some food", Sunny said so i followed her to the kitchen where Yoona and Minho were already waiting

"hi unnie!"

"hi noona!"

both of them greeted me and i just nodded before i sat down

"i think i want to work as an artist", i said

when i heard nothing from them, i looked up and saw they were looking at me with a surprise looks

Sunny then took a seat beside me slowly and hold my hand 

"what is it again? i dont think i hear it clearly", she said lowly that almost like a whisper

"i said.. i want to be an artist. i want to draw something more", i said 

Sunny then teared up and hugged me

"you speak, you finally speaks up. you finally talk to us again!", she cried

"unnie....", Yoona then also went towards me and hugged me too while crying

"what took you so long?", Sunny asked once we broke apart from the hug

i just give them a small smile 

"im sorry. i was struggling", i apologised

"its ok noona. im glad that we get to hear from you again now", Minho said and smiled at me

"anyway, i guess.. something happen during the art exhibition?", Sunny asked

i smiled and nodded

"i'll tell you guys. but first, shall we eat now?", i asked

"yes please!", Yoona replied happily which made Sunny and Minho to laugh at her cuteness including me

"hey", Sunny called me softly so i looked at her

"hm?"

"welcome back, bestfriend", Sunny smiled which i smiled back in return
