Monet. Monet would paint the calming scenery within TJ’s line sight. He is certain of his even as a figure appears over the slope in tandem with each of his steps.
“Chanri ㅡ” his lips purse into a thin line. “Ah. I totally knew it was you…” He has no choice other than to sink into the delicate wooden bench, allowing enough room between them. “Do you really want an art piece? I’ll just do it for free, you know.”
“I don’t give a shit about the art piece.” She looks at him with a kind of passive fury, refusing to allow her hurt to spill over the edge. For a moment Chan-ri turns away from him, refusing to look into his eyes as she too takes a seat on the bench. Merely deciding to focus on the water in front of them. It’s been so long, and too much has changed. Suddenly she feels as if this was a mistake: ‘what if he’s a different person now?’ ‘What if he says no?”
Cold lips speak cold words. “My father was murdered just after we..broke up -- I’m sure you heard.” Her tone is cool but her brain is on fire, images of the case files sneak into her mind --she had too many questions and not enough answers. The adults around her only seemed frustrated by her presence, they were tired of nagging, of her sleeping outside the station in nothing but a tent. However Chan-ri knew deep down that he could accept her. Just like he’d accepted her waterlilies - just like how he’d sat next to her for days looking at a pixalated painting. “A card would’ve been nice...maybe some flowers, maybe some comforting words....anything really, but i guess that’s not the point.” She sighs, turning towards him and taking a letter out of her bag.
“I need your help. The police...they shelved the case...they never answered my questions....i need to know why.”
