Kim Taeyeon doesn't need a muse. She's an artist that could create art with her thoughts and surroundings alone. She could paint the sky or the trees, put some twist and some abstract! Splash the canvas with colors that would mean emotions. A black dot on the middle or on any part of a white canvas is art. Painting a dog with only one shade of color is creative, she could use shades of blue. She could create a masterpiece!

If she can. Without her muse, that is.

The artist huffs in irritation, "This is absurd. I really need inspiration." 

News flash! She can't. Taeyeon needs her muse.

Her muse who is at the other side of the world; Her muse that's currently not talking to her. 

She still tries though, the canvas keeps being filled with patterened colors. Red, blue, yellow: primary colors, back to basic as what her sunbaes said when they're in a block, she lined it artistically on the canvas. Honestly, her mind is like a white painting right now, the artist just let her hands do anything. 

Until she abruptly stops and stares hard on her canvas. She drops her paint brush and groaned loudly. Taeyeon hastily gathers her things and cleans her station while muttering incoherent words under her breath.

"This is sooo going well for me right now," she mumbles. The artist leaves the studio while fumbling her phone, trying to contact someone again but it goes directly to voicemail, she sighs. 

Taeyeon defeatedly goes home. As she enters her house, a small furball starts barking and jumping on her. 

"Zero yah, you missed me?" She drops her art bag on the floor and carries zero. She kisses her dog and coddles him lovingly, "Are you hungry zero yah? Do you think your other mother ate already? She's still angry at me Zero yah, what should I do?" 

Zero tilts his head and stares at his owner then he barks once. Taeyeon pouts and sighs, she flops herself down on the sofa while Zero is still on her arms.

"I didn't finish anything at the studio at all Zero. Seriously," she grumbles. "I hate artist's block." 

"I need my muse!" 

Just then her phone rings loudly, startling both Zero and Taeyeon. She quickly puts her dog down and answers her phone, "Hello? Sooyeon! My muse! My Jessica-"

"Kim Taeyeon why are you so dramatic?"

"You finally called!" Taeyeon cries.

"Yes because you missed call for like almost 20 times Taeng, I was on a meeting seriously."

"Because! I need my muse but you're still mad and I didn't finish anything at the studio, I'm doomed Sica, doomed!"

"Whose fault it is that I'm mad? Huh?"

The artist bites her lower lip, "I'm sorry? Hehehe," she tries to laugh it off awkwardly.

"Who put those cucumbers on my luggage? I swear I could still smell those disgusting things on my clothes!" She could imagine Jessica glaring at her right now.

"It wasn't my idea, it was the girls! Hyoyeon, Yoona, and Sooyoung primarily..."

"Whatever Taeyeon. Have you eaten? Are you at home?"

She pouts, "I haven't and yes I'm at home."

"How's the painting?"

"Stuck. I miss you. You didn't call for three days." 

"I messaged you though, and it's your punishment."

"Hmph."

"Did you just hmp at me? When you put cucumbers in my bag?"

"I already said sorry!"

"Still not fine Tae."

"But seriously Sica, I need to see you. I can't finish anything at the studio." 

"I'll be home in a few days Taengoo."

"A few days is too longggg."

"It'll pass by. You should eat something now Taeng."

Taeyeon stands up and goes straight to the kitchen, "I'm not sure what to eat..."

"Cook." 

"Hmmm. Are you tired? How's work over there? You should sleep."

"Clients are a pain. But thankfully things are progressing well." She hears a sigh over the line.

Taeyeon starts to preheat left over food
