"Come on, let's put that things on my room." I told Daniel before walking towards the staircase. I looked at Daniel and saw that he's following me. I caught a glimpse of Mrs. Oh's suspicious looks. We headed to the room beside my bedroom. I opened the door and let Daniel in. His eyes immediately roamed around, checking out the newly designed workplace. "Wow." Was all he can say before placing down the paintings carefully.

I didn't put much with the decorations but I worked hard for the walls. It was mint colored with a touch of other mild colors. I painted a cherry blossom tree that was big enough to reach the ceiling. Some petals were scattered in the wall to make it look like it was falling from the tree. It was one hell of a work but it paid off. I was satisfied with this room. I really wanted to make it pleasing in the eyes so I'll be inspired while working.

A desk was placed on the corner, facing a window. My sketchpads were on the drawers and some are left on the table itself. My pencils, markers and brushes are organized. A chair was placed in the middle and a canvas was put in front of it.

It was neat for now but it'll get messier once I start working here. Daniel looked around the room and I suddenly felt conscious with my work. Some paintings were attached to the wall and some were placed on a corner.

He looked at it one by one. His eyes fell on each artworks. I walked towards him. "It's all beautiful." He said, his eyes glistening as he looked at my works.

I felt a warm feeling inside my chest as he looked at all of it. It's as if he admire all of them and it made me happy. Seeing the look on his face while appreciating my works is something I wished I will see in my father. But right now I feel satisfied with him admiring it all.

"Thanks for helping me out with my works." I said and he turned his attention to me. First he smiled then I saw how it turned into a grin. After that he was laughing. I frowned, confused at him.

"What's so funny?" I asked before he tried to turn serious. A smile was formed in his lips. "They think I'm your boyfriend." I blushed, why would he brought it up? Damn it.

"Why are you laughing then?" I frowned at him and he smirked at me. "Wouldn't it be fun if I was really your boyfriend? Hmm, what do you think?" He said, playfully wiggling his brows at me. I rolled my eyes at him then crossed my arms before turning to my paintings on the floor.

I reached out to get them. I heard him chuckle but I didn't pay attention. I let him walk around the room while I place the canvasses on the corner with my other works.

I tried to pick one more to put on the wall so I checked all of it again. I can't find another so I decided to leave them for now. I stood up and saw Daniel in front of my desk. His back was facing me as I look at him going on through something.

"What's that?" I asked to get his attention. "You didn't say you were obsessed with me." He said which horrified me. Don't tell me he was looking through that sketches?!

I immediately ran into him and try to get the sketchpad on his hands but he raised his hands up. He was grinning like an idiot while looking through the pages over his head.

I jumped trying to get the damn sketches but he was too tall. "Yah! Give it to me, now!" I whined trying to reach his hands. He only let out a chuckle. I stopped trying to get the pad and just glared at him.

He showed me the sketchpad on his hand. The drawing on the paper made me look away, my cheeks heating up. Damn this guy! Why did I even forget about that thing!? "Do you like my eyes that much?" He was referring to a sketch which I made.

It was his eyes that I was bothered so much about. His intense stares made me remember him every night so I found myself sketching it one day. On the sketch was his eyes and that under eye mole I've grown to love.

I heard him flip through the pages. "Oh, you even drew me when we met at the party!" I clenched my fist in embarrassment, still not looking his way nor that thing in his hand.

He flipped another page. "Was this our first meeting at the river?" He said and I inhaled sharply before shutting my eyes tightly. I was getting annoyed every minute. Not because of him but because of my self. It's my fault he saw that damn works.

"Saeron, this is–" I didn't let him finished by snatching the sketchpad out of his hands. He was surprised but I just hid the thing away from him.

My face was burning with embarrassment and I didn't know how to face him. I felt like running away from him right now! I heard him take a step towards me but I stepped away from him. "I was going to say it was amazing. Are you mad?" He said, his voice soft before inching towards me again.

"No." I said then turned to walk past him but he stopped me by holding my arm. I looked away when he stared at my face. "Don't be shy, Saeron. You know you could've just told me that you wanted me as your model." I looked up to face him. His face was serious.

But he opened his mouth to say something again. "Or as your boyfriend." He added before smirking. It immediately brought frown on my face.

I pushed him away then rolled my eyes. "Damn you, Daniel!" I snapped at him but he just laughed at me. I was so annoyed and embarrassed right now. He was laughing so hard that he even held onto his stomach.

His eyes watered and I watch him laugh his ass off. After a few moments, his laughter died down and I saw how he wiped the tears in his eyes with his hands. He stared at me but I looked away.

"Aw, don't worry Saeron. I'm always free as your model." He said and I could feel he was smirking even though I'm not looking. I wanted to murder him right now. "Or as your boyfriend." He added, repeating what he said earlier. I looked at him and threw a glare though those two sounds tempting for me.
