Your thoughts is slowly drowning you, so you thought of ways on how to escape them. Fortunately, you thought of something fun in order to release the constant stress that you're feeling everyday.
You bought a lot of yellow post-it notes from a book store near your new house, and decided to write the good and bad things that happened to you every single day. You have been doing this for about 3 months now and it's been helping you. The post-it notes are on the walls of your room, reminding you about that things that made you smile and frown at the same time.
While drawing on your pentab, you noticed your phone ringing, and Irene is trying to FaceTime you. You quickly pressed the green button and talked to her while you're drawing.
"Oh hi y/n, am I disturbing you?"
"Not really, Hyun. Don't worry about it, I honestly am in the mood to talk while drawing"
While you're drawing, Irene can't seem to look away from your face. The sight that she loves to look at no matter what the occasion is. The serious face that you have makes her heart flutter, while you're concentrated on your work, she's secretly taking pictures of you and posted some of it on her Instagram account, the secret account that only her close friends know.
You looked at her and smiled.
"Why so quiet all of the sudden, Hyun? Not that I'm complaining but I honestly am interested to know what happened about your day today"
As she was about to tell more about her day, she noticed your walls that are filled with yellow post-it's.
"Y/n, why are there a lot of yellow papers on your wall?"
"Oh..."
You turned around to look and smiled back at her.
"... it's nothing, I just started writing on those post-it notes to release my thoughts. Basically the things that happened to me that made an impact on my day"
"That's really clever of you, where did you get the idea?"
"I just came up with it, really. You should try doing it if ever you feel stressed"
With that said, it made her curious on what you wrote on each paper. She would love to know what made each post-it note special, although she somehow felt a bit worried about it, she knew you're a strong person.
While drawing on your pentab, you suddenly remembered that you drew her and her members. You used their poster as your reference, and you're actually excited to share it to her.
"Oh by the way, Hyun. I just remembered that I have something for you"
"What is it?"
"Wait let me send it to you real quick"
You placed your stylus down and immediately typed on your laptop, you sent an email to her and a ding on her phone can be heard behind the screen.
"What is this email for, y/n?"
"Well..."
You scratched your head.
"... I did something for you, it may not be that big, but I just wanted to give you something for your achievements in the k-pop industry"
Although your co-workers find your arts incredibly fascinating, you never found yours to be something special. Sure, it looks good for you, but you never really found anything special about your artworks. It always looks 'ordinary' in your eyes.
Irene gasped and looked at you.
"This is wonderful! Thank you so much! When did you drew this?"
"Just yesterday actually, I did it in our sudio. I stayed for an hour to finish it, I hope you liked it somehow"
"You've got to be kidding me... I LOVE it! Thank you so much! How much is your commission? I'll pay for it right away"
"No, no, it's free. I want you to have it for free, Hyun"
She still can't believe the details of your drawing. From the details of their faces to the details of their background is extremely amazing to look at. Your hands surely did the magic.
"Alright, but you BETTER have a proper price for your commissions to your other clients. I better not know how cheap your works are, y/n. I'm warning you"
You chuckled.
"Yes, ma'am"
As an artist, it feels good to know that someone deeply appreciates your works. Your family didn't really supported you when you were young, they wanted you to become a doctor or a lawyer, but with Irene's advices, she pused you to pursue your passion. Resulting to your family migrating to Canada, but things changed when you came out of your closet and decided to tell them that you're a transgender. From that moment on, they stopped supporting you in anything, your older brother was the only one who helped you continue your studies in Canada.
As the night continues to get darker, you noticed that Irene is quiet again, and when you looked at her you noticed that she's already sleeping. You smiled at her and decided to draw her again.
Her closed eyes were the first one that you drew, next was her perfect lips, then her hair that almost covers her breathtaking face. Even so, her slightly messy look just added some details and accent to your artwork. After an hour of drawing her, you finally finished another masterpiece. You smiled at it and decided to close your sketchbook, where her perfect image resides.
Knowing that she will not wake up, you decided to end the call and texted her a goodnight message. Apologizing that you have to end the call, but also reassuring that you two will call and talk again. With that, another day has passed.
