felix examined the painting that was laying in front of him.
"so, will you be able to fix it?"
hyunjin asked.
"of course I will."
felix said, taking off his glasses.
"it will take time, but i will."
"so, what are you going to do? what's your plan?"
hyunjin asked as he looked over Felix's shoulder.
"when I'm looking at it, I will first try to remove the lines from the permanent marker, because if I removed the paint first, the lines could get wet and destroy the canvas more. then I will deal with the paint and then I will take care of the cuts. if the original painting will be damaged, I will repair it."
felix said, looking at hyunjin.
hyunjin nodded.
"I'm gonna start repairing tomorrow. I don't have any repairing equipment here now, and I will spend analyzing which things will be the best to use."
felix said, putting on his glasses again.
"okay then, I will leave you here with one of my workers. you saw him when we walked here. he takes care of the storage. I have to go now, but if you needed anything, tell han and he will come and get me."
hyunjin said.
felix nodded, and hyunjin made his way out of the storage.
suddenly, a boy with a silver hair made his way to Felix.
"hi."
the boy said, sitting next to felix.
"hello."
felix said, not even looking at the boy.
there was an awkward silence. Felix was examining the painting, while the boy just sat there, not sure what to do.
"soooo....what's your name?"
"lee felix."
felix said, all his attention on the painting.
"that's interesting name. are you from Korea?"
"Australia."
"ohh, makes sense."
the boy nodded.
"I'm han jisung, nice to meet you."
felix finally looked at the boy.
silver hair, brown eyes, while wearing a casual outfit.
he was offering him his hand.
felix shook it, before looking back at the painting.
han chuckled.
"you're not much of a talker huh?"
he said.
Felix shook his head.
"I'm not actually."
"well, I'm pretty sure i will be able to make you talk with me."
han said with a small smile.
"I doubt that."

"OH MY GOD HE DID NOT-"
felix gasped, putting his hand on his mouth.
"I KNOW RIGHT?! hyunjin fired him afterwards, but DAMN. I'm glad it happened tho."
han said, smiling.
"why? you didn't like him?"
Felix asked.
"that's not that, he was actually tolerable, but after that, hyunjin hired a different person, and oh my god he is FINE."
han said.
"I always help him carry the art pieces he's driving here or out of here. he always has this small smile on his face that is just so adorable."
"woah, what's his name?"
han shrugged.
"I don't know. we never really got to that."
"damn. well, I wish you a good luck with that guy of yours."
Felix said, giving him a small smile.
"hey, do you know how old this painting is?"
"200 years. 204 years to be exact. we got it like a year ago, because the museum that it was in closed down. it's a really nice painting, even tho you can't really see it now."
han said.
"it's one of hyunjins favorites. when he saw that this piece needed new home, he fought like a dog to get it. he always admired that painting. you should have seen him the day he hanged it, he looked super happy and proud, even tho it cost him a few thousand dollars more."
he chuckled, turning to look at the painting.
"please fix it. hyunjin would be devastated if he had to throw it away."
felix sighed, before giving han a small smile.
"don't worry, I'm a professional. I'm gonna do whatever it takes to repair this."
han returned the smile, before standing up.
"well, I'm gonna be right behind the corner. I have to assort some paintings and see what are worth keeping and what we will be giving to different places. if you needed anything, just call my name."
Felix nodded.
"can I listen to music when I put it onto my earphones? it helps me concentrate."
"of course! why couldn't you?"
han said, before he started to walk away.
"have a nice time!"
felix chuckled, before turning back to the painting.

few hours went by.
felix was writing in his notebook the damages and what he thought could be best for the removal.
suddenly, the door opened.
felix didn't hear it because of his earphones, but when someone suddenly tapped his shoulder, he yelped and turned around, letting a sigh of relief when he saw hyunjin.
he took out the earphones.
"do you need something?"
hyunjin shook his head.
"no, I just came to ask what do you want for lunch. some employees, including han, are going on a lunch break, so if you wanna go with them, you can."
felix shook his head.
"no, I'm not hungry. thanks for the offer tho."
"but you didn't eat since yesterday evening, are you sure you aren't-"
"that's how I have it when I travel, I need a day or two to get used to the new country and surroundings. is that all you wanted to ask me?"
felix said.
hyunjin nodded.
"okay then, can I go back to work now?"
Felix asked.
"yeah."
hyunjin sighed.
"thank you."
felix said, putting his earphones back in his ears, before turning back to the painting.
hyunjin took a last glance at felix, before he walked away from the storage.

"I was scared you will be hungry, so I brought you a sandwich from this amazing shop!"
han said happily, placing the item in front of felix.
felix gave him a small smile.
"thank you. I appreciate that."
"of course! well, I gotta go back to work now, but if you needed something, tell me."
han said, before he happily jumped away.
felix chuckled.
"this guy is truly something."
he said, before taking the sandwich.
"I like him. he's my new friend."
