As I was sitting across from Jeonghan, I took a sip of my Iced Americano and looked into his eyes. He made eye contact with me, his eyebrow raised a bit since he was curious about the information I was about to give him.

"So, basically I'm a local artist and I signed up for an art competition recently. The competition is the Artists Annual Art Competition. It's one of the big competitions in the world, there's multiple prizes for each category." Joshua says, eyes sparkling from talking about his passion for art.

Jeonghan notices how passionate he is about art, yet he sees those sparkling eyes, starting to fade away. Joshua sighs, "The one prize I want to win is the grand prize, I'll earn thousands of dollars and I'll even have my artwork be shown in the magazine." He says.

"Ah, I see but how come you asked me to be a model for your work?" Jeonghan asks, curiously.

"Lately, I've lost motivation. It's been harder to find something to motivate me, until I met you. You look like a model too." said Joshua.

Jeonghan's eyes widened a bit but then he smiled. "Alright, fine I'll help you since I can tell you really want to win this. But you gotta make sure to make me look good in those paintings." He said, while Joshua breaks into a huge grin.

"Thank you so much, Jeonghan! You won't regret this!" says Joshua.

Jeonghan hums, before pulling out his phone and handing it to Joshua. "I'll need your contact so we can work on these paintings of yours." He said.

Joshua puts his contact information into Jeonghan's phone, before handing it back to him. Jeonghan stands up, looking at the other with a smile, "It was nice meeting you, I'll text you later." He says as Joshua waved goodbye to him and he walks out of the cafe.

Feeling satisfied, Joshua eats his croissant in victory of finding a model. Wonwoo walks up to him, seeing the older eating a croissant. "Tasty, right?" He asks, scaring Joshua a bit.

"Very. Anyways, what's up Wonwoo?" Joshua asks, looking at Wonwoo. Wonwoo smiles at him, "Dino, Vernon, and I were wondering if you interested in going out to this new restaurant that opened up recently." He says, which peeked Joshua's interest.

"Sure, why not. Just send me the time and address and I'll be there." said Joshua.

Wonwoo nods and walks away, heading towards Vernon and Dino. Vernon was training the new employee, while Dino was busy taking orders from customers. Joshua stands up, grabbing his iced americano and looks at his friends with a smile, before leaving the cafe.

Joshua heads towards his house, a smile still on his face. He eventually finished his drink, throwing it away at a nearby trash can. A few minutes later, he arrived at his house and walks towards the front door, opening it. He walks inside, taking his shoes off and jogs over to his bed, flipping face first into the pillows.

"I'm gonna take a nap while I wait for Jeonghan's message. An artist always need their beauty sleep for creativity." He said, before closing his eyes, letting sleep take over.
