Simon Dominic: Doubling Forward

CHAPTER #18- Angel Wings

As Tablo had predicted, Haru demanded to see Nari's art studio after lunch. They all went to the studio and Haru wasn't the only one admiring the art on the walls. Haru asked if Nari would come to her school, to do art with her class. That was exactly what the guys had hoped she'd want and they knew that Nari, wouldn't say no to Haru. Tablo would check with the school and then confirm if it was possible.

In the end the teacher of Haru's class decided to have a field trip to Nari's studio, where she would do an art project with the children. When Nari heard the news, she stopped everything she was doing and rode over to the AOMG office. About five traffic laws were broken in her haste to get there.

"Hi! Is Jay Park in?" She asked the office girls on arrival.

"He's in his office Nari. Go on in."

Still remembering her manners, she knocked on his door and waited for Jay to invite her in. "Hi, what's up?"

"Haru's teacher is bringing her class to the studio for an art project with the children! I can't believe this is all happening! I'm so excited and I needed to share this with someone, since Simon's not around!"

"That's definitely worth celebrating! I'm glad you came to tell me. I think I've got a bottle of champagne in the fridge. Go get Hoody, Cha Cha, Hep, Dj Pumkin and Ugly Duck. They're still here I think," Jay encouraged.

Nari rounded up the other guys and Hoody, explaining her news. The champagne was distributed in plastic cups, due to short notice and Jay Park toasted her success.

Hoody asked, "teaching children art and encouraging people to be creative, is exactly what you've always dreamed of doing right?"

"Yes. Before I met all of you here at AOMG, I wouldn't have believed this to be possible, not even in my wildest dreams!"

"AOMG is like that... making dreams come true," Cha Cha grinned.

"You just have to believe... in yourself and God," Jay added.

Hep said, "I expect to see your Instagram, Facebook and Twitter accounts all flooded with the best art from those children."

Ugly Duck asked, "so what are you going to have those kids do?"

"Show them how to draw animals using shapes," Nari explained.

"Heck I might just join that art class myself, if I'm not busy," Dj Pumkin added.

"Everyone is welcome to join and the kids would all love it." She gave an open invitation to them all.

"Simon D gets private lessons I bet," Hoody winked at her.

Nari blushed and quickly took a sip of champagne.

"Hmm, now there's an idea... private lessons. If you throw in a home cooked meal, I'd pay anything you asked," Jay teased.

They all chatted a while longer, then went back to work. Nari hugged Jay Park, before putting on her helmet and riding back to the Studio. When she'd chosen #9 Cloud as the name for the Studio, it had been a spot on idea. There were art galleries called Cloud 9 in other countries, but not with the nine first. Both Jay Park and Simon D had approved of the name. They'd asked if the idea for the name had come from how Koreans say the last name first. Nari confirmed that is exactly why it was like that.

The day arrived when Haru's class came to the art studio and Nari taught the children how to draw all kinds of things, not just animals, using shapes. The parents of the children we happy with the results, as much as the school was. In the end #9 Cloud was featured in the local media as a new art hot spot to check out. Simon D and Jay Park were like proud fathers, because of how well Nari's studio was doing.
