"Can i....um....treat you dinner....tonight?" Jk said as he looked me in the eye.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GdLH8HZNu
The question took me by surprise.. my tongue suddenly went numb and I seemed to be at a loss for words

233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE3zhmA5e4
Suddenly my phone rang in my hand, cutting off the intense view of jk
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttJ7mTqEjx
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGdyd3yGcO
Ah, tae....!
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZM4VOnthF
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnHofDJoBA
"Yeah...." I mumbled slowly picking up the phone
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xIfWCcBXh
"Well, why is it taking so long? Didn’t you find the room?" Tae asked with a sulky tone.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBjzP7bvbj
"i did... and I've got everything you need... wait for some minutes, ok...?” I said slowly as I meant to leave but jk gently held my shoulder.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsezS5SOuf
"Is that, Tae-hyung?" Jk suddenly asked
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGBg26Jby1
I nodded slowly at him.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbCFotC4jm
"Lily? Who are you talking to?" Tae asked on the other side of the phone.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVSw2wqQJn
I think it’s because jk was standing so close to me so Tae could hear his voice too
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKSLCVEHvo
"Oh ... I’m talking to jeykey ..." I answered briefly.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ8kuYlDkq
Jk suddenly stuck out his fingers and took the phone from my ear without me being able to prevent it.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS7ra1gtPB
"Hi hyung, will lily be off duty tonight as your assistant?" Jk asked suddenly, it took me by surprise
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEneK71jd97
Tae's voice is faintly heard on the other side
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg9dbdGxBE
"Ooh.... what time will she be free? I want to... hum.. ask her to have dinner with me..." he said bluntly as he glanced at me, making me cupped my lips nervously.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74946gfaft
Oh my gosh, jeykey?? Why did he tell Tae?
I haven't said that I agree to go with him
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr10jJIWdC
"... she can’t ? Why..??" Jk suddenly hissed in disappointment.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7SCBdkwiA
I raised my eyebrows, trying to guess the words Tae said.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LMJVfG9eP
"Fine..." jk muttered with a frown on his face then handed the phone back to my hand.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyq1MyqxNe
I sighed quietly, did not understand what was going on.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoPYrSVUJ0
"Yes..." I mumbled softly, returning with the phone on my ear
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJyY1Ag80C
"The paints, lily..... I want to paint immediately.." Tae said in a tone that sounded flat
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZkXqOdcbw
"Ok.." I answered simply. Before I could speak again, Tae had hung up the phone.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M4SvX7JRz
He sounded annoyed.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5fwEP6hd0
“Tae-hyung said you should accompany him to the chun family residence tonight?” Jk asked with a bent face
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi7oUeZwlb
I nodded slowly
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PKSmIZvuW
"Sorry jeykey... I have no other choice..." I said biting my lip slowly
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuNabrUJ4a
Jk just looked at me while pressing his jaw hard.
"Yeah I know... but next time please spare some time for me ok?" He asked then smiled sweetly.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o67jLZnD1
I smile while nodding
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvspjobNVD
"Now I have to hurry upstairs...." I said
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFXT8fw83M
"Let me help you .." he offered, carrying a pile of newspapers.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x5zBKN5IG
We both finally left the storage room and headed to Tae's room.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr92YAR7vUE
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbpZnCPhsO
Arriving at the 2nd floor, Tae was already standing in front of the door looking at the two of us with his sharp gaze.
He seemed to be frowning when he looked at Jk who was carrying a pile of newspapers
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5tInJFFIl
"I'll take that, thank you..." he said grabbing a pile of newspapers from jk's hand. Tae quickly gave a signal for me to enter the room.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli7lgtrlUs
"Hey, hyung..... about tonight..." jk opens his mouth
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cBSTPXBzy
"No, you can't..." Tae shook his head quickly.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvB2KZO5tS
"But..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5icDDlA5t
"Bye, Jeykey..." Tae said quickly then closed the bedroom door in front of Jk's surprised face.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TRi4SvZ9d
I was suddenly nervous when I saw the white door was closed tightly. The two of us had never been in this room with the door closed.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONDNiYKHEd
After that, tae stepped towards me who could only froze while hugging the paint cans.
He stepped forward with a sharp gaze forcing me to step back nervously. His face was stern and not a word came out of his mouth.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzNwjScIT2
"Mmph..." I was surprised when I realized that I was stopped because my back hit the surface of the cupboard.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ2Rea14Lc
Tae leans closer and closes the distance between the two of us, making me squeez the paint cans even tighter in my arms.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNZycJ0itm
"You took so long..." he mumbled, sounding annoyed. He pursed his red lips at me.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fmFi33CwX
I cleared my throat
"W-well.... you're the one whose requests are endless... I have to go back and forth to take these..." I grimaced while pointing at the paint cans with my chin.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgiqpAEkVw
Tae sighed softly then brought his face closer, making me hold my breath
"You...aren't you taking a long time talking to jk?" He asked looking at me blankly.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMWJm9f8LJ
"Hmm?" I'm confused what to answer
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZW97B6vFW
"I know....jk is asking you out..." he whispered softly, his fingers suddenly moving and touching a strand of my hair. He seemed to be swallowing his own saliva while looking at me intently.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOhaHbh4za
"Is this the reason you don't want to go out with me tonight? Because you're going on a date with jk?" he asked slowly. His tone was soft and his gaze was sad at me, making my heart flutter softly.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KXRSsogif
"What....? it's not like that, I didn't say yes to him..." I muttered in denial.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12NWb0OxcA
"Really? So you.... said No. to him?" He looked surprised with slightly sparkling eyes.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT3HzVzfOt
"Um..w-why? Do I have another choice?" I said raising an eyebrow at him.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvgBp2ogdl
"iiish.... so the reason why you turned it down because you still have to be my assistant tonight? That's all?" He sneered in disappointment.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR5Qc7QnaQ
I stared at him silently.
Frankly, I don't know what answer I should give JK if the situation is different. I'm still confused.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkwFZ4Nh3f
All of this confused me.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQbqV19hoI
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYgfgvmZi3
"Hisss....you've come to your own conclusion..." I muttered under my breath a little annoyed.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZAv0rL0Z5
I've decided to accompany Tae tonight according to my job desk, I hope he doesn't question the reason anymore because I'm not sure I can answer it.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgszCIofKOi
"Hm okay, the point is.... tonight you still go with me right?" he asked with slightly sparkling eyes.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHXNPhEvmI
I nodded slowly.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V4zNHq1Lj
Tae smiled at me without breaking his gaze.
"That's great. So you prefer me over jk?" He smirked proudly.
Aish, his blunt conclusion made my cheeks heat up instantly.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrWwNbzLcs
"Yaaah, don't be arrogant... i'm just doing my job..." I said glaring softly.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LNq2dgSrm
Tae smiled.
"I guarantee you won't regret your decision...." he said in a deep voice.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5Zjd2W3jZ
his meaningful gaze made me suddenly bit my lip nervously.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL8IX78g1d
Tae suddenly fell silent as he stared fixedly at the lump of my lips.
"Hhhhh.... You have a dangerous habit..." he whispered snorting softly. He seemed to be pressing his jaw hard.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUjQxArXc5
Without being able to prevent it, he quickly pressed his body and brought his face closer to mine.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaDDwZNukz
"Umm? uh.... t-tae...." I stuttered as I pushed my back against the wall.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVRUNzPrBS
"Mm?" He mumbled quietly, staring at my lips.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqSVUhUwdH
Damn, I can't go anywhere else.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12ODcBK3KH
He bent his arm across the cupboard, right next to my face.
He drew closer with a wistful gaze, as if to touch my slightly parted lips.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj5jXNNnVn
Oh, No.... what should I do?
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3zKlr0oW2
Spontaneously I grabbed one of the red paint cans in my arms and put it quickly on Tae's lips who were now being too close.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYhQ7eiIQX
muuah!
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQzKcLRe2q
"Hmmfff...." Tae was surprised to find the cold surface of the can suddenly stuck to his lips, stopping his movement towards me suddenly.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTffOxoObVb
I quickly moved away from the surface of the cupboard, keeping some distance from his body.
"Y-yaah....don't you want to paint...?...why haven't you started yet? Let's start quickly..." I said frantically looking for an excuse.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE1gggRlfL
Tae still cupped the can of paint on his face grinning
“Geee……you… why do you like to stuff things into my mouth?” He grumbled softly as he rubbed his red lips slowly. His gaze followed me as I drifted away from him.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3QRY0tXxU
"Come on, shall we start?" i asked while grin nervously, trying to distract tae who is still looking at me
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fSCvMYpl0
Tae snorted softly then lazily walked over to the canvas.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GAmTdrWyX
He finally asked me to put all the paint cans on the floor and help him spread the newspaper as a layer under the canvas. With a sulky face he prepared all his painting equipment and asked me to sit in a chair in front of his computer.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDbzWWR5RE
He prepared everything without saying a word, apparently he was still annoyed with my attitude that suddenly thrust the cold can to his face.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7rBSg4d3E
It was so cute tho to see his sulky face, it made me smile quitely.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjeNJlDbKq
"Ok, ready? I will start painting.." he said glanced at me who nodded quickly.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfiextD7HR
"Aah yeah, almost forgot..." he said suddenly getting up from his seat and walking towards the audio set. He turned it on quickly and the saxophone instrumental music played softly.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN6raXnjpU
I smiled while shaking my head slightly to the soft rhythm of the "autumn leaves" playing.
In certain situations I really enjoy slow jazz music like this.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUKMToyLh5
"Yaaah.... don't move much..." he hissed in protest at me.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmlE2xesov
I suddenly stopped and rolled my eyes at him.
Iish, fun killer! I grumbled in my heart.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGyk0m6Jft
Then Tae started swinging his brush with a serious expression, painting me accompanied by soft jazz music playing, while I just sat quietly looking at the shape of his face which looked like a real life painting in front of me.

233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQemljnJRNu
"Wait? What's this??" I shrieked softly at the painting in front of me.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09yFIpgNYA
Tae smiles proudly
"Presenting.... it's you.... and me....." he continued, showing off his two canvases in front of my face.
The painting based on black and pink with a picture of two faces with abstract lines looked at me absurdly.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBeWUEtCA4
"Umm.......your painting style is quite...ung..interesting..." I cleared my throat, unsure of what to say.
When he said he was going to paint me I thought he would paint my 'real' face.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN76r1PtoV
Tae laughed out loud seeing the expression on my face which might look weird
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJcDZgnNDf
"I call this the VANTE style....my own style." He grins widely
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2Q9Pu6Lon
"Oh... some kind of abstract style, hm?" I said trying hard to understand.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4FmuztvZ3
"Well, don't you feel like you're similar to my painting? This pink one is look like you, right....? see....??” he sulked, pointing at the two faces he draw that were exactly the same on the canvases, only the colors were different.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcMKEq9X0A
He must be kidding.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMXse652O7
I grimaced softly, still couldn’t understand his randomness
"So you're saying we both look like twins, huh?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkgIvImSx6
Tae laughed loudly then put his two canvases on the floor and stepped closer to me.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bFKESqztl
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYCfHTV69B
"Hmm... to be honest, I've been imagining this painting in my head since a few days ago...." he said smiling broadly right in front of me.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQt1e9PMBy
I was stunned to hear the answer.
Makes me realize something
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf58fce55m
"Wait, if that So....
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb25XhKmSTl
You don't really need a model for your painting?" I furrowed my brows spontaneously
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSp0EhB2Y6
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1TBOWC7kT
Tae chuckled softly as he brought his handsome face closer. He then cupped my face with both of his palms, surprising me.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwldUbklq2
His gaze slowly trailed down my face then stopped at my brown eyes.
his two thumbs gently caress the surface of my cheek, making me nervous for a moment.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWqooTOBex
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7CFRBnsF8
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiBPeuMU1W
"You should have known, Lily Byeol....... I'll do anything to keep you close to me..."

233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwczS62POpK
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMKVctUZmX
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTziYit1Aaz
The triumphant smile on his face instantly left me speechless.
