It's been 2 days but Chorong doesn't seem to have the mood to talk to Suho. Suho fixes his tie and takes his briefcase. He walks out from his room and sees Chorong walking out from her room. This is the time.

Suho- Chorong, let's talk
Chorong- There's nothing to talk about. Let me go
Suho- Chorong, please. I know I was wrong
Chorong- Just let me go

Chorong frees her wrist from Suho's grip and walks downstairs. Suho sighs looking at Chorong disappearing into the kitchen. Why is it so hard for her to discuss with him? She's too ego. Wait, remember what you've done towards her because of your selfishness and ego, Kim Junmyeon. He walks downstairs, joining Chorong and Mrs Ha in the kitchen.

Suho- Good morning, auntie
Mrs Ha- Good morning, Junmyeon. As usual, don't skip your breakfast or else Yoona might be worried about you again

Suho's face changes as Mrs Ha mention Yoona. He glances to Chorong who's drinking the plain water. She doesn't give any feedback towards Mrs Ha's words. Is like she's not affected at all. Suho looks at Mrs Ha. They walk to the table. As Suho seat, Chorong puts down her chopsticks.

Chorong- Auntie, I'll eat later
Mrs Ha- Why? Are you not well, dear?
Chorong- No, it's just I'm not hungry yet
Suho- Just eat. It's not like I'm going to talk to you
Mrs Ha- Junmyeon. *look at Chorong* Chorong, sit down and eat

Chorong sighs and sits back at her seat, which is right in front of Suho. She looks down and enjoys her breakfast in silent. Mrs Ha, who's sitting beside Chorong, looks at Suho. She looks furious with what Suho said to Chorong just now. Suho sighs, not again. He puts down his chopsticks and drinks the plain water.

Suho- I'm going to work, bye
Mrs Ha- Aigoo, kids these days have such high egos
Chorong- Auntie, I'm still here

Chorong pouts and continues enjoying the noodles made by Mrs Ha. Mrs Ha smiles looking at Chorong. If only she had a good daughter like her. Everyone she loves are already looking at her from the other world. Mrs Ha sighs. Chorong looks at her.

Chorong- Auntie, what's wrong?
Mrs Ha- Nothing. Have you done eating? Let me clean up
Chorong- It's okay, I'll do it
Mrs Ha- No, no. You, go upstairs and do whatever you want
Chorong- Hmm, okay auntie

Chorong walks out from the dining area, heading to the mansion's elevator. She heads to the third level, walking to the chair at the sky garden of the mansion. She sits there, looking at the beautiful sky.

Chorong- Hi, sky. I'm sorry for not seeing you yesterday

Chorong smiles as she look up to the sky, letting the morning sun touch her skin. She wasn't in the mood yesterday, that's why she keeps locking herself in her room. To make it worse, Suho was home yesterday. Luckily today is Monday, even it she goes out on afternoon, she won't see Suho because that guy is at work.

Chorong- Should I draw? Or paint?

Chorong stands up and takes her painting stuff at the storeroom. She flips to a blank page, mixing some poster colors before gently slide the brush on the canvas. She smiles looking at the mixed colors. They look so aesthetic and calming. Chorong looks around the garden and spots a rainbow winged butterfly. She takes her phone and snaps a picture of the butterfly.

Chorong- Should I draw us?

After the canvas dry, Chorong starts sketching something on her sketchbook. More like sketching her and Suho. She smiles looking at the rough sketch. She takes her brush and starts painting on the canvas. She hums to some mellifluous rhythm that could be heard from a nearby mansion.

She paints the butterfly right on the girl's fingertip. She scrolls her gallery and finds a picture of her and Suho facing each other, with a camera on her fingertip. Chorong laughs at herself. No wonder the painting looks familiar.

Evening,

Suho- Auntie, where's Chorong?
Mrs Ha- As usual, of course at the rooftop
Suho- What she doing up there? Aish, this girl
Mrs Ha- Go check on her. She's probably sleeping after doing new paintings
Suho- She's painting again? Ugh

Suho rolls his eyes in annoyance and enters the elevator. He hears to the third floor, walking to the sky garden. Mrs Ha is right, Chorong is sleeping soundly with her arms as her pillow. Suho observes her beautiful face. When he's about to caress her cheek, she suddenly open her eyes and their eyes meet. Chorong sits properly and looks away.

Chorong- I'm going inside
Suho- Oh.. okay..

Suho sighs when Chorong disappear from his sight. He looks at the palette and brushes. He takes her sketchbook. He feels guilty looking at the sketches. He never bother to know more about Chorong's ability because he found it annoying. Maybe because she just love to talk about colors and mixes the whole  time. If only he could appreciate her ability. He looks at the canvas in front of him.

Suho- Wow

Suho is impressed with Chorong's painting skills. She got a damn talent but he never pay attention to. Suho frowns, the picture looks so familiar. He turns on his phone and slides into the gallery. Ah, this picture. Suho smiles, why would she paint this old picture?

Mrs Ha- Junmyeon?
Suho- Huh, auntie? Come have a seat

Mrs Ha smiles looking at Suho. She sits beside him.

Mrs Ha- Where's Chorong?
Suho- She's already inside
Mrs Ha- Have you talk to her?
Suho- Do I really need to talk to her? It's not fully my fault
Mrs Ha- Drop your ego, let her win. Make her feel protected
Suho- Ugh, fine
