The Colors of Love - Minsung

"What's going on?" Hyunjin asked as he wiggled his way through the dense mass of people in the art hall.

"I don't know. I wonder if this has something to do with Jisung's mystery painter," Seungmin replied, still trying to get past the crowd.

The two halted as something above them caught their eye. It was a banner with the words, 'The Han Jisung Art Contest' imprinted in it.

"I was right," Seungmin muttered, eyeing the giant banner.

"I'm assuming that all these people in line are here to sign up," Hyunjin said, pointing at the line that spanned the entire hallway. "Oh my god. Where is Jisung? He's gone crazy."

"There he is!" Seungmin grabbed Hyunjin's arm and dragged him to the front of the line, stopping in front of the sign up table.

"Han Jisung, you idiot. Explain yourself," Hyunjin demanded.

"I'm trying to find the person who's been drawing me by hosting an art competition," Jisung shrugged.

"I'm modeling and they're going to draw me. Then, I'll find out who the mystery artist is by looking at all the paintings."

"You have gone crazy," Seungmin muttered under his breath.

Jisung shot him a look. "I'm desperate to know, okay?"

"How'd you even get the authority to do this?" Hyunjin asked.

Jisung hummed playfully. "I got the art council to help. Apparently, they also want to know who's been behind the paintings."

"But what if your mystery person doesn't enter the contest?" Seungmin asked and Jisung smirked knowingly. "Oh, I'm sure they will."

"I mean, why wouldn't they? After all, who wouldn't want to win a date with me?" He clarified, obviously proud of his idea.

"Wow, you are such a genius," Seungmin commented sarcastically and pretended to wipe a fake tear away from his eye. "But still, what if the person doesn't—"

"They will join the contest," Jisung growled, easily getting riled up. Hyunjin almost felt sorry for his friend. It was clear to him that Jisung really wanted to find this person.

"Besides, all the art program students are required to participate," Jisung smiled playfully and his friends gaped at him.

"It's amazing what the art council can do," Jisung smirked. "I almost feel bad for underestimating them and art. By next month, I'll have the mystery artist in my hands."
