"This is my favourite piece." Chaeyoung goes up to Sana who's been looking at a single painting of a girl, who's silhouette was the same as Mina's, sitting on the rooftop looking up at the moon. The thing is, everything in the painting has colour except for the girl herself, "I drew this after I first met Mina-unnnie. This was how I found her." Chaeyoung begins to explain.

"Maybe it's best if you just take some time away from painting, Chaeng. That's what I did and it helped me find what I was missing." Roseanne says over the phone.

"Not painting? I don't know if I can do that." chaeyoung sighs, "But I'm also not satisfied with any of my sketches to even get to the point where I want to put it on canvas."

"Stressing about it won't help Baby Chae." Jennie chimes in from the background.

"Unnie this is a private conversation." Chaeyoung whines, mostly because she hates how Jennie babies her just because she shares the same name as Roseanne.

"What did you say?" Jennie's tone was scary.

"Nothing.." Chaeyoung pouts, "Alright you two enough of that. Chaeng just relax..I think the stress is making it hard for you. It's okay to take a breather."

"I'll try..thanks Rosie unnie." Chaeyoung hangs up the phone, finally making it up the rooftop of her apartment complex, "I just want to paint." Chaeyoung sighs, opening the door she was met with a surreal scene of the night sky, the full moon shining down on a lone figure sitting on the bench looking up for a solution to her own problems. At this, Chaeyoung quickly grabbed her sketchpad and began to draw the scene in front of her.

"Tsuki ga kirei desu ne?" Chaeyoung hears the girl whisper softly to the moon. Making a mental note to look up the saying for later.

"I didn't realise it until after I'd spent more time with Mina-unnie just how much that scene changed me." Chaeyoung smiles at the memory, "It was like I saw myself that night. Sitting, trying to find whatever it is I was missing."

"And? Did you?" Sana finally speaks up, her eyes still set on the painting.

"This exhibit speaks for itself does it not?"

"I guess it does." Sana agrees.

"Tsuki ga kirei desu ne?" Chaeyoung says after a few silent moments pass and Sana finally peels her eyes away from the painting to look at the artist, "She said it that night in a soft whisper. And a few times here and there when I'd catch her on the rooftop again. I didn't ask her about it, because it felt too personal..so I looked up the meaning myself." Chaeyoung pauses, reaching out and tracing the silhouette with her index finger, "I've always wondered who her 'I love you' belongs to."

"Chaeng." Mina's voice is soft, calling the artist back from her thoughts.

"Excuse me." Chaeyoung excuses herself from Sana, who keeps her back to Mina. She couldn't look at her best friend..not without breaking down.

"Do you like the exhibit unnie?" Chaeyoung beams a happy smile while they wander through the exhibit.

"Well as the artist's muse, I don't think I have the right to say no." Mina smiles.

"Why is there a piece you don't like?" Chaeyoung frowns, wanting to immediately take the piece Mina doesn't like down.

"No..they're all wonderful..I'm just in surprise, awe, shock..Why me?"

"Why not you?" Chaeyoung counters.

"Why that saying?"

"Why not that?"
