Minhyuk supposed it all started with his paints.

The new art set he'd bought a couple weeks ago was just itching to be used, sitting there primly on his desk among other things and standing out to him and tempting like the forbidden fruit. Trapped in hectic schedules, Minhyuk was reduced to only cradling it wistfully in his arms occasionally before placing it back, silently promising to to open it soon. Sometimes he'd just gaze at it, positively drooling over the shiny, aesthetic case and array of the twenty four acrylic paints, complete with color pencils, crayons and paint brushes in a range of sizes. He'd been dying to purchase it (past all logic of the others pointing out he already had three other art sets) for a month, but now that he had the set he just didn't have time to use it, until today.

Frankly, in between Shoot Out promotions, filming for variety shows and interviews and whatnot had left all of Monsta X pretty worn out, and any scarce free time they did get was eventually devoted to much needed rest. Minhyuk included, they didn't have much time nor energy for recreation. Even after wrapping up Shoot Out, they had immediately transited into preparing for the upcoming Jingle Ball in USA. And then there were so many other things to be done...photo shoots, interviews, more shooting for shows....

It was a relief when one of the slower days of their schedules arrived. They were at liberty to wake up later that morning, most of the schedule being for midday and night. After a slow breakfast, Changkyun and Hyunwoo were first to leave for a meeting with their managers. Hyungwon and Kihyun left shortly after, scheduled to meet their dietitian and nutritionist, and Hoseok was last to leave for his studio. After that, they all would meet at night for dance practice, which in Minhyuk's case was the only thing he had scheduled today. Meanwhile, Jooheon was supposed to have hit the studio with Hoseok, but the rapper had ingeniously pulled an all nighter yesterday and immersed himself in the multiple projects he kept himself stretched across, earning himself a more or less free day today instead.

So soon, the dorm was left to both Minhyuk and Jooheon, the latter still asleep after last night's work shift. And Minhyuk was too excited at the prospect of finally opening his paint set to go cuddle him awake like he usually would. He barely listened to Kihyun threatening him about entering the kitchen while they were gone and more or less shooed poor Hoseok out on his way before finally rushing to his and Hyungwon's shared room.

Grabbing the paint set off the desk, he plopped down onto the cleared space on the floor he'd already prepared. Then he dreamily admired the exterior of the art set before lovingly beginning the opening ceremony. He could already feel the stress and exhaustion of the month melting away as he ran his fingers over the tubes of paint and the soft, fresh paint brush bristles. He even brushed it against his cheek, it felt so good.Set out before him were some sheets of paper and a canvas, all pristine and white and waiting to splashed with color. Minhyuk felt himself drooling again; he loved painting so damn much sometimes, the aspect of all this blank canvas ready just for his imagination.And he had the perfect image in his mind, one that had been demanding to be let out since forever. And he was gonna do it.

But just as he squeezed out the first slugs of thick, shiny black paint into the palette, he realized he'd forgotten to get water and tissues (again. No matter what painting project, Minhyuk always forgot those until he needed them, slap in the middle of painting). Sighing, he capped the tube and carefully stood, delicately picking his way out of the room and into the kitchen.

"Eep!" he said in surprise to find Sanche somehow up on the counter and nosing at some covered dish Kihyun had left there. His ears pricked, but he kept doing whatever he was, tail wagging.
