The morning atmosphere was so cold, it made Sean shiver. He pulled his blanket up, but the morning air could still pierce through it.
Sean did not sleep in his comfortable dorm room, but he stayed in the studio. Yesterday, he had missed the curfew and it was certain that the dormitory door was locked from the inside. Sean was unwilling to get a nagging tirade from Zavier that unsettled his ears, so he decided to spend the night in the studio.
The walls of the studio are almost 70% - it is glass is not able to withstand low temperatures. That's what makes Sean have to wake up even though the clock still shows at 6.
[Daily Mission!]
[Painting on glass media]
[Theme: Wings]
The system window appears bringing a new mission. Sean was forced to read the writing on the transparent screen and occasionally rubbed his sleepy eyes.
“Painting on glass?” muttered Sean. “System thinks painting in other media is easy?”
Sean's memories return when the system gives a mission to create a mural or a wall painting. He really struggled to do so, let alone to paint a plane of glass whose medium was slippery. That's not an easy thing.
Sean's eyes narrowed suddenly as he obtained another memory. He is the one who knows best that the mission must be completed, otherwise there is certainly a punishment whose value is not worth the mission.
“True, I have to complete the mission.” Sean got up from the sofa and cleaned his blanket.
There was no time to laze around, he had to return to campus to attend morning classes. In addition, Sean also has other needs in the place. He had to come to see Mr. Klano and confirm that the 'Water Tender' painting was ready to hang at the exhibition.
After taking a shower and cleaning, Sean took a photo of ‘Tender Air’ through his phone camera. The photo will be shown Sean to the lecturer killer.
Sean also used his phone to contact Kenzo Karrin, but there was no answer. Apparently a day of long trips makes Kenzo Karrin tired and make him wake up late.
The call was immediately stopped and instead Sean simply left a quick message for Kenzo Karrin to get the glass fields that Sean would use for painting media.
After finishing all the necessities, Sean left and started his class.
***
Classes run not so long, lecturers just cram material and give practical assignments that will certainly take a lot of time from Sean. However, the young man did not complain much. With the ability of Spider Hand, Sean will be able to shorten the time of completion.
After the class was over, Sean rushed to Mr. Klano's room. In that place, he was again shown by the cruelty of the lecturer.
His name is a flying paper.
From between the doors, it appears that third-year students get the same treatment. Disrespectfully, Mr. Klano threw the results of their paper with a rude scorn. Luckily, Sean never had such an experience.
After watching, Sean immediately walked in when his turn arrived.
“Pak, I have taken pictures for the painting to be submitted for the exhibition ‘Harmony Spaces’,”, Sean said directly at the destination of his arrival.
Two weeks later, Sean had plenty of time left if Mr. Klano could not pass the painting. However, the killer lecturer reacted differently. The man's gaze was attached to the screen.
“The title of this painting is ‘Tender Air’ and use oil paint,” Sean continued.
In the gap did not make Pak Klano satisfied. The man's face approached with an expression that was difficult to explain. His gaze turned on Sean's right hand as if he was questioning the state of his hand. “Did you paint it?”
"I happen to have the same painting theme. Didn't I say that before?" Sean's words were fixed on what he said earlier to Mr. Klano that he had a painting with the same theme.
Of course that was the beginning of Sean's lie that Sean has kept up to this point.
Without lowering his suspicions again, Mr. Klano again looked at the picture. "Can I see your work directly?"
"Originally you can keep my identity a secret" asked Sean who can be supported by Mr. Klano easily.
After the deal they both planned to go to SH studio in Pak Klano's car.
***
Mr. Klano drives his car as Sean directs. After arriving in front of the studio, Sean got off and let him in. The young man immediately took the killer lecturer to the storage room and showed 'Water Tender'.
"What do you think of Mr. Klano?" Sean glanced at the man who was just pecking beside him. However, the man did not heed Sean's gaze, his gaze was busy observing the painting.
"Didn't you like it?" sean continued to hear a slightly disappointed expression.
Without looking at the interlocutor, Mr. Klano replied briefly. "Not true, I like your work. It's exceeded expectations."
When after saying those words, Mr. Klano's gaze turned to look at the other paintings in that place. There was a considerable feeling of curiosity that was painted within both of his eyes.
"These paintings …. " Suddenly his words stopped.
Haven't been able to continue his words, Sean replied. "The painting is not mine."
Not satisfied with that, Mr. Klano read one by one the name on the end of the canvas. The names of world-renowned artists such as Elizabeth Chang and Najwa Wong could not deceive his eyesight. "Is ...all these paintings original?"
The original painting that was thought to be a fake painting that made Sean again try to kelit. It is natural that a student cannot have paintings worth billions of rupiah.
Sean was just unmoved, but Mr. Klano did not mind giving him time to think. However, as his gaze shifted on the most end painting, his expression became different.
"R-red B-ballerina?" mr. Klano's eyes fell open and his jaw suddenly became stiff.
Hearing the name of the 'Red Ballerina' mentioned eloquently, Sean was able to surmise that Mr. Klano knew the painting well. Especially when his eyes turned to stare at the initials RR in the corner of the canvas.
"Where did you get this painting? Did Kenzo Karrin give it to you? Where is that guy now?" Not content to just say, Mr. Klano shook Sean's shoulders violently.
Sean had not had time to answer the two people were surprised by the arrival of the man from outside.
"Sean, are you inside?" Another voice that did not belong to Sean or Pak Klano solved the situation in the chaotic room. Both of their eyes turned to look at a man at the door.
"Kenzo? Kenzo Karrin?" Mr. Klano could hardly believe that Kenzo Karrin was already in front of his eyes.
"You .. Klano Rahendra?" No less surprised Kenzo Karrin also showed that expression.
Hearing them mention each other by name, Sean realizes that they know each other.
The meeting of the two men changed the atmosphere in the room. They sit and talk to each other.
That's when Sean only found out that both Mr. Krano and Kenzo Karrin have a strong friendship. They grew up together and went to the same university. However, during their career their relationship became tenuous until Klano got the news that Kenzo Karrin brought his family to live abroad.
After sharing the story, Kenzo Karrin must return soon and Sean delivers it on the doorstep.
"I came to bring you the glass you asked for" he said, taking out a piece of glass from the trunk of the car and Sean immediately accepted it.
With hesitation, Sean ventured to ask her for something. "Can you keep anything secret about me to Mr. Klano?"
"You doubt that man?" Kenzo Karrin smiled slightly. "No, don't worry. That man can keep secrets well."
Sean who did not understand his words just looked at Kenzo, the man whispered right in his ear. "As a guarantee, Klano Rahendra has kept my big secret at this time."
