Why am I always late?

chapter 10.

"Wow, so this is the art studio!" Gyueum exclaimed as he entered the studio.

Finally, the studio was open and since it was a bit early they could have it for themselves for a couple hours. As the two walked side to side they looked at a bunch of the paintings, it was a wonder how long it must have took to make all of this paintings.

As they sat on the chairs the two then took out some canvasses, one for each. Nicky immediately started on sketching as Gyueum think back on what the girl he liked looks like, he reminiscent on how the girl had a very dark hair with fair, pale skin and white clothes.

"Nicky, why are we the only one here?" Gyueum asks, leaning closer to Nicky. "Well, it's still quite early in the morning for almost everyone to be here. That's why I told you to come here early" he reasoned.

"Ahh, then.... what are you drawing?" Gyueum blinks, innocently asking him. Nicky looked at him dumbfounded, raising an eyebrow, waiting for Gyueum to tell the reason.

Since Gyueum just looks at him with puppy eyes he sighs, "you're gonna be the death of me" he mutters, barely beyond a whisper. "Didn't you told me that yours will be a secret?! So why would I tell you what's mine?!" He shouts as he points at him with a pencil. Gyueum backs away and looks at him with a disappointed look.

"Mean" he mutters as he takes a pencil and starts sketching.

After a few hours gone by Nicky has almost finished his drawing while Gyueum is only halfway done. As Nicky swiftly strokes the brush precisely Gyueum accidently knocks over the water cup, filled with dirty water from their brushes. The Sharp sound attracted Nicky to the source and his eyes widen in shock as he sees water flowing by the floor.

"Ack! Sorry, I'll.. I'll clean it up" he hurries to look for a rag or something to clean before he goes naked to use his own t-shirt to clean it up. "It's fine, almost everyday something gets knocked over in this studio-i mean this place is famous for having it's floors almost covered up with paint or water" he blatantly says without shame like he doesn't go here just a few days this was opened.

He ran up to a table in the corner and went back to Gyueum with two cloths in his hand, he gave the other one to him while he uses the first to clean up the spoiled water.

As they thoroughly cleaned the floor they got a bit too focused that they didn't noticed that they were cleaning just a bit close, and when they tried to raise their heads they got hot by each other and so is their hands.

"Ow" they said in unison
"Are you alright?" Nicky says, finally realizing they got a bit too close and immediately backed up a bit.
"Yeah just... Hurts a bit but nah, dont worry. I'm not dying" he mockingly spouts

"You're gonna be the death of me" Nicky mutters below a breath, making sure Gyueum doesn't hear it.

"Anyways come on! Let's get this drawing finish and after let's go eat something delicious eh?" He says, reaching a hand out to Nicky to help him stand up.

"Nicky, come on just let me see one tiny bit of it please" Gyueum whines as he pulls Nicky by the arm, trying to peak from the canvas. "If you want me to show it to you then let me see yours too!" Nicky exclaims trying to get rid of Gyueum's long arms away from his.

"Fine, fine,fine I will! But first let me take a looks at yours pleasee" he compromises to which Nicky just sighs in defeat. He shows the painting to him halfheartedly and with a pout plastered in his face.

"Wow Nicky!!! It's so beautiful, but question, why a blue rose?" Gyueum asks turning to face the still angry Nicky. Nicky sighs and placed the canvas to the stool, he sat right next to it as he drops his shoulders, definitely not comfortable to tell him but forced to or else he will again be whined until graduation.
