Chapter 191 Awakening (9)

-The Arnouvo Competition has reached its fourth day in local time. Yesterday, an interesting fact was revealed, right?

I woke up to the sound of the TV.

I was tired from walking all day yesterday.

I didnt want to get up, so I closed my eyes and just opened my ears.

-Yes, its about the frame maker Pierre Malo, who has been keeping the tradition for six generations.

-Isnt he the one who runs the frame shop Chardon? What does he have to do with the Arnouvo Competition?

-It turns out that the frames that contain the two works that are currently competing for the lead, Beauty and Summer Nook, are his works.

-Thats interesting, but there must be a reason why he gets so much attention.

-Yes, its because out of the 1,789 entries, the only works that Pierre Malo made frames for are Beauty and Summer Nook.

-Does that mean the master recognizes the masterpiece?

-Haha, it seems so.

It seems that Pierre Malo made frames for Marso and my work.

I dont know if he only wanted to make two works, but its certain that he didnt have time to make anything else.

He finished the frame for Summer Nook before October, so he must have been in a hurry to make Beauty afterwards.

-Some people say that Pierre Malo predicted that the two works would be loved and made frames for them.

-In fact, he never accepts requests for works that he doesnt like. Thats why he doesnt have a lot of work.

-Yes.

-They are such great works that they captivated his heart, and the visitors seem to like them too.

-I see. Another thing. The authors of the two works have not been revealed yet. Do you think Pierre Malo knows who they are?

-There is a high possibility. But he said he wouldnt answer any questions about the customers identity, so well have to wait for the experts until the competition is over.

-Ms. Strejeman, arent you an expert yourself? What do you think?

As I listened, I came to my senses and got up.

When I went to the living room, Grandpa and Bang Taeho were sitting on the sofa, drinking coffee.

Did you sleep well?

Are you up? Do you want some juice?

Ill get it myself.

I took out apple juice from the refrigerator and sat on the sofa.

Are you hurt anywhere?

No, I guess I walked too much yesterday.

I wanted to see as many works as possible, so I pushed myself too hard.

Im a little tired.

Then, do you want to rest today?

There are still 1,000 works that I havent seen.

I cant do that, so I shook my head and Grandpa stroked my hair.

-So, youre guessing that either Beauty or Summer Nook is Go Hoons work?

-Its just a guess.

-Youre being careful.

-Yes. In fact, Go Hoon has changed his style several times. He has his own characteristics, such as powerful brush strokes and intense colors, but he hasnt shown a surreal composition like Summer Nook or a classic style like Beauty.

-I see. Its just a guess. Lets move on to the next story.

On TV, Lets Talk continues.

-Each media is also sending positive messages. Please introduce them.

-Yes. The French daily Le Figaro reported yesterday that even the cold couldnt stop the passion of art lovers, and that the Arnouvo Competition was a signal for the revival of art.

Arent you hungry?

Ill eat with Si-hyun when he wakes up.

I looked at the clock and it was ten minutes before nine.

Ill wait a little longer and wake him up for breakfast.

-Some criticize that its a temporary phenomenon due to the prize money. They say its an event that relies on money rather than works.

Tsk.

Bang Taeho clicked his tongue at the criticism introduced by the host Woo-jin.

Anya Strejeman, who was introduced as a Times reporter, stepped up to refute.

-I see it differently.

-Please tell us.

Stop it. Its like our brother was garbage sometimes, but he was always a good person.

Thats not an Henri fan. Henri fans do it for the taste of dissing Henri.

We diss him too. Honestly, even if our brother does crazy things sometimes, has he ever harmed anyone?

Alex, who was looking at the chat window, was lost in thought and shut his mouth.

Its a hint.

Henri Marso, who was notorious for his strong pride and excessive pride, was strict with other artists besides himself.

Even among the people who were already recognized as masters, such as Go Suyeol, some could not avoid Henri Marsos criticism.

And he rarely spoke favorably of the works.

But there was an exception for Henri Marso, and that was Go Hoon, the genius painter of Korea.

He bought Go Hoons first work, Sunflower, as well as Guest and Frosty Millet Field for a huge amount of money, and recently he even promised to receive Love7 from Go Suyeol as a gift.

He even rumored that he invested in the movie Giamseong because of Go Hoon.

The friendly appearance of the two was confirmed through various media, and it proved that Henri Marso regarded Go Hoon as special.

Alex desperately pushed his way through the crowd and shouted at Henri Marso.

Did you draw Beauty yourself?

Henri Marso turned his head at Alexs confirmation question.

Henri Marso, who had no need to lie with his huge ego and excessive pride, responded awkwardly.

No.

But his awkward denial was not important.

Alex confirmed his doubt.

Then, is Go Hoon the one who drew Beauty?

What are you talking about!

Henri Marsos strong denial made the surroundings quiet for a moment.

Then someone muttered.

Yeah. When did Henri praise anyone like this besides Go Hoon?

They said Go Hoon participated. It hasnt been revealed yet.

Its Go Hoon.

Thats right! Its Go Hoon!

The citizens guesses expanded uncontrollably, and among them, Alex felt like his heart was going to burst with the thought that he had found the author of Beauty that he couldnt reveal until now.

Its a million angles!

He thought that if he uploaded todays video, the views would be guaranteed.

On the other hand, Henri Marsos temples were flushed with blood.

These

The work he drew to end this chaotic era for sure before opening a new era of painting.

The work that proved himself to be ahead of Go Hoon, who symbolized the future, and completed with agony.

He couldnt stand the atmosphere that the masterpiece was confirmed as Go Hoons work.

No! No!

Henri Marso shouted in anger, but his strong denial sounded like a strong affirmation.

The tourists who were aiming for the huge event prize money didnt hear Henris voice anymore.

A person who was close to Henri Marso entered Go Hoon as the author of Beauty on the Arnouvo Competition application and gritted his teeth.

**

I ate breakfast and was so tired that I slept more.

I got up at lunchtime and ate at the hotel restaurant, and Bang Taeho made a strange noise.

Huh?

Whats wrong?

He couldnt answer and just blinked his eyes and showed his smartphone.

Grandpa, Cha Si-hyun and I leaned our heads to the middle of the table.

It was the event page of the official application of the Arnouvo Competition.

It was an event where you guessed the author of the anonymously exhibited works, and the prize money was quite large, so Grandpa, Bang Taeho, Cha Si-hyun and I were working hard.

Huh?

I became the person who drew Beauty.
