Sean would never have expected something big to happen at the Ellinden Gallery.
When Kenzo Karrin's black sedan is parked outside the gallery, Sean goes down without Kenzo. He immediately went inside and headed for his desk. At that place, Sean immediately picked up the phone and planned to leave immediately.
However, Sean had to cancel his intention the moment he saw the storage room door open. The room was used to display paintings of Najwa Wong and Sean was the person responsible for carrying the keys.
The mystery of the opening of the storage room has not been solved, Sean can only guess how the door can open itself.
The young man was absolutely certain that the door of the room was properly locked. Even Sean can find the keys to the room in his pocket. The key is not lost, but the door is open. Inside the Ellinden Gallery were only 3 people holding the keys to the storage room. First Hendri who had handed the keys to the room to Sean. The second is Rift Ellinden and the current security officer.
For now, Sean can only guess that security is on night patrol, but the allegation is broken by Sean after what he sees.
When Sean pressed the light switch, the whole room was flooded with light, but he could only stay glued to the floor with what was in front of him.
“Wire!” That was the only word Sean could say with trembling lips.
In both of Sean's widened eyes, he could see one of Najwa Wong's paintings in disrepair.
‘Stuck’ is Najwa Wong's most striking work. The painting has a high value because the details and processing time are not fast.
However, the painting that will be used as the main character in the exhibition 'Unsense' found Sean in a state of being split into two. Someone deliberately tore it with a sharp object.
Quickly, both of Sean's eyes shot out in all directions, trying to find someone around, but nil. There was no sign of anyone else around him.
"How's this? What am I supposed to do?"
Sean's expression was in a fog of fret, but his brain quickly thought the impact of the painting's damage.
This is not only the destruction of artwork that can be overcome internally, but it could drag the police to conduct an investigation. The greatest possibility would be to make Sean's name the main suspect in this incident.
Even though Sean was so lucky and could escape the snare of the law, Ellinden would not be silent. Sean had to bear all the losses under his responsibility. From that loophole, Ellinden can make Sean have to owe the Ellinden Rift for the rest of his life.
The impact is so great that Sean must be careful in acting. He immediately arrived at the security room and was greeted by a worker who sat watching a number of blank monitors.
"Can I see the CCTV in the storage room before 2 hours ago?" sean asked who distracted the security.
"Is there a problem?" ask security. His finger pointed at the screen in front of him that was dead. "You see the surveillance cameras are not working, but I've called the technician and they'll fix it tomorrow morning.
"Has that camera been down for two hours?" Sean again corrected the evidence from the security. It seemed that he could draw a conclusion from this incident.
"That's right, so for a while it couldn't be used until the technician came."
Hearing that explanation, it seemed incongruous in the past 2 hours. Definitely the malfunctioning of the surveillance cameras has something to do with the 'Stuck' painting being damaged in its place.
The smell of one's evil is smelled in the destruction of 'Stuck', but now is not the right time to look for the perpetrator, but how to find a way to put a damper on the matter. Sean had no way but to call Kenzo Karrin from the phone.
“What happened?” Kenzo Karrin immediately asked after arriving at Sean's place. No need for Sean to answer again, Kenzo Karrin can see firsthand the reason Sean told him to come. The two eyes of the man could see a painting already shattered in that place. “Who did it?”
Sean shook his head in despair. “There is no time to find out who did it. This painting should be repaired as soon as possible, do you think I can do it?”
Kenzo Karrin's answer was evident in both views looking at the painting. Not long he shook his head and for a moment he thought again.
“There's no way you can finish overnight. Why don't you just ask the painter for help to remake. You can pay after that."
The suggestion of Kenzo Karrin is the most rational among Sean's troubled thoughts. However, Sean was able to dismiss that thought easily, Najwa Wong would not be able to paint it overnight.
“Is there no other way?” With a panicked expression, Sean looked at Kenzo Karrin.
“So, you mean ... we ... do the painting forgery?” Sean shook his head with narrowed eyes. Kenzo Karrin refused to answer. He was switching on his phone and contacted Mr. Klano to come to this place.
Kenzo Karrin learns that Sean's abilities cannot be expected in imitating 'Stuck'. The man gave the right choice to ask for Mr. Klano's help.
After finishing his call, Kenzo Karrin's eyes turned to Sean who had been staring at him. “Is there anything you want to say again?"
“I know, who can be relied upon for this matter." Not saying anything more, Sean asked Kenzo Karrin to prepare the canvas and the tools used for painting. Quickly, Kenzo nodded in understanding.
In front of the gallery they split up. Kenzo Karrin drives his car to find what Sean needs, while Sean runs towards the dormitory.

Right in front of room 106, Sean barged into his room. Luis who was busy listening to music through earphones was surprised to see the arrival of Sean.
“Are you okay?” asked Luis to get up and let go of his earphones. He immediately came over to Sean whose appearance looked chaotic
Sean wanted to speak quickly, but his throat was being suffocated speechless. His breathing sounded breathless as if there was a space in his lungs that could not be filled with oxygen properly.
"I-I need your help, Luis!" exclaim Sean.
“Calm down and tell me what happened.” Luis tells Sean to stay calm. He let out a long sigh and tried to suppress his turbulent heart quickly.
“Najwa Wong's painting is destroyed. I-I need your help to recreate.” Sean said staggered. He's replenishing the oxygen in his lung space.
There was no reason for Luis to ignore Sean's predicament. Without knowing the details Luis follows Sean back to the Ellinden Gallery
In front of the gallery, both cars came together. Kenzo Karrin and Mr. Klano got out of their car and ran small towards Sean.
“All you need I have prepared.” Kenzo Karrin came with a canvas, while Mr. Krano just kept silent trying to read the situation.
Without fear of being recorded by the surveillance camera, Sean took the three men into the storage room and saw for himself the chaos that occurred in it.
Seeing the reaction of those who were quite surprised after seeing the painting before their eyes split in two, Sean immediately expressed his request.
“I need your help to repaint this painting," said Sean briefly and simply make anyone among them understand.
“Isn't that called an act of plagiarism, coupled with the article of fraud is enough to make you entangled by law.” Mr. Klano said without a shred of sympathy, but the desperate Sean could not just keep quiet.
“Can't you help me this time?” sean's state was already weak enough with a desperate expression.
Mr. Klano returned Sean's gaze and answered the challenge he was given. “How can I refuse a request from my friend Kenzo Karrin and help my student in trouble?” Of course I have to help you, Sean."
“How to get caught?” luis was a little scared.
The desire to help Sean seemed so sincere, but he went back to considering the bad possibilities that were happening.
Mr. Krano looked at Luis and patted him on the shoulder, “Just relax, Kenzo Karrin has a lot of relationships and he will bring a great lawyer when we get caught.”
The tense atmosphere inside the room slowly melted away and they immediately started the action.
Kenzo Karrin stood up and shined a flashlight onto the canvas. He was giving orders from his place. Mr. Klano made the initial pattern and continued Sean by finishing the base paint. Luis's most important role, he should be able to resemble in terms of technique and detail from Najwa Wong as finishing.
The four conspirators who were committing the criminal act only had time until the sun rose and they managed to complete it appropriately.
