In the bustling city of Bangkok, A man was standing Infront of a white canvas. To be precise a wall, an empty wall in a studio. His own studio.

Staring into them long, his hands finally move to take a bucket of paint. And a second after, his hands makes their way to splashed the paint on the wall as the base background before he started to create a masterpiece.

2 to 3 hours flying just like that before he stepped back from his artwork. 50% complete. Well, not that bad. He still have time tomorrow so it's no rush to finish the piece for now.

"Working on a painting again?"

A low voice then disturbed the peaceful silence there. And far behind the owner of the studio, there stood a man wearing all black as his outfit.

"Guess you are really meant to be a painter after all..."

And as the voice spoke again, this time the man that covered in several colours turned his head to the sound direction...

"...Zee"

And a smile appears on their face.

"Guess you also never really changed since the last time I saw you. Still came right in without invitation huh? Max"

Zee said sarcastically as a little laugh escaped his mouth.

"Still sharp with those tongue I see..."

Max answered Zee with a smile on his face as well.

"Glad to see that your art exhibition always going well brother..."

And in this room of colours, Max throw his eyes around as he give those compliments to Zee.

"Well... it's going a little too well actually. I'm grateful that I didn't quit. Guess here is where I belong..."

Zee spoke as he tidying up all his artwork supplies.

"Guess you put him everywhere in your life"

Hearing that, Zee chuckled a little before standing up from kneeling. Looking at all his artwork around him. And again, a smile was displayed on his face.

"And by 'him', who is that refers too?"

Zee said again as if he didn't know what Max was talking about. When in fact, he knows who's 'that' refers to.

"Bruh... You just turned 31 this year, don't tell me you start forgetting things. Are the impact from 5 years ago still left an impression on you?"

Max said as he raised one of his eyebrows, feeling a little annoyed by Zee before he continues...

"Oh who could it be! I don't know, maybe it was someone named Nunew and Nhurin"

Max said sarcastically as his body leaned towards a table. While Zee just shook his head slowly, still with a grin on his face.

"And how could you tell that?"

"Oh please, you got to be kidding me. Just looking at all your painting and everyone could tell! A sea and a star? You never include this on your exhibition until five years ago"

"Hahahha, so it was that obvious??"

"Indeed..."

Then there's a brief moment of silence there as Zee arranging his things there... Before Max spoke again.

" You did look much more happier now, bruh. Your face seems to have the glow. Seems like... You finally found your home in paintings..."

Max said as he put his hands on his pants pockets. And when Zee heard that, he glance at Max before he answered cooly,
