"Can i....um....treat you dinner....tonight?" Jk said as he looked me in the eye.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDVkPLaqjL
The question took me by surprise.. my tongue suddenly went numb and I seemed to be at a loss for words

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cEcGtHsKi
Suddenly my phone rang in my hand, cutting off the intense view of jk
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9E7gRMENO
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmm28hBlc3
Ah, tae....!
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY1Ho0aUMx
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnOeDtSqYe
"Yeah...." I mumbled slowly picking up the phone
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqVBGDb3W7
"Well, why is it taking so long? Didn’t you find the room?" Tae asked with a sulky tone.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp69Up8Xhej
"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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p9RWOoMHz
"Is that, Tae-hyung?" Jk suddenly asked
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAtR51EBdC
I nodded slowly at him.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEGdoR1azs
"Lily? Who are you talking to?" Tae asked on the other side of the phone.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE92l3vzPV
I think it’s because jk was standing so close to me so Tae could hear his voice too
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdZKpCCJ2Z
"Oh ... I’m talking to jeykey ..." I answered briefly.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBSQPFbsoi
Jk suddenly stuck out his fingers and took the phone from my ear without me being able to prevent it.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakIZZ4jSCY
"Hi hyung, will lily be off duty tonight as your assistant?" Jk asked suddenly, it took me by surprise
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkLTBDHH6M
Tae's voice is faintly heard on the other side
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKwN8kYY2x
"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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6vP4h857z
Oh my gosh, jeykey?? Why did he tell Tae?
I haven't said that I agree to go with him
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mBTy5bHya
"... she can’t ? Why..??" Jk suddenly hissed in disappointment.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfz8vXwqXj
I raised my eyebrows, trying to guess the words Tae said.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN2nw8jotA
"Fine..." jk muttered with a frown on his face then handed the phone back to my hand.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLI27NTkUU
I sighed quietly, did not understand what was going on.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW11uwNPOn
"Yes..." I mumbled softly, returning with the phone on my ear
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0ufiRrk54
"The paints, lily..... I want to paint immediately.." Tae said in a tone that sounded flat
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD1TikcYb9
"Ok.." I answered simply. Before I could speak again, Tae had hung up the phone.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0BgPQQyLa
He sounded annoyed.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFklauG1x7
“Tae-hyung said you should accompany him to the chun family residence tonight?” Jk asked with a bent face
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKluDE3Fkrd
I nodded slowly
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdI4R8CYCk
"Sorry jeykey... I have no other choice..." I said biting my lip slowly
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOJDbSenlq
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXnNVLJn2E
I smile while nodding
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3ZGuM720o
"Now I have to hurry upstairs...." I said
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFyjFv0Qmv
"Let me help you .." he offered, carrying a pile of newspapers.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdmxWRxhDc
We both finally left the storage room and headed to Tae's room.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00bImOJ9ZJ
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4LSH978G2
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
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6g7eUZwfh
"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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQDUIJrosd
"Hey, hyung..... about tonight..." jk opens his mouth
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJy1EXmmPV
"No, you can't..." Tae shook his head quickly.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlCHPDQ3dy
"But..."
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8yCkWXBvV
"Bye, Jeykey..." Tae said quickly then closed the bedroom door in front of Jk's surprised face.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5pNKXKLJg
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1CP8phbqf
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsuiosuXoo
"Mmph..." I was surprised when I realized that I was stopped because my back hit the surface of the cupboard.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYdhVXP2kP
Tae leans closer and closes the distance between the two of us, making me squeez the paint cans even tighter in my arms.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbCFGraVK0
"You took so long..." he mumbled, sounding annoyed. He pursed his red lips at me.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYobZZB38Ss
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiOHTvoNaL
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp3jvgeOFP
"Hmm?" I'm confused what to answer
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOqeM3HKS2
"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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrk0Xh3o8g
"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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4rUpb6a8e
"What....? it's not like that, I didn't say yes to him..." I muttered in denial.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLi5zbuNEf
"Really? So you.... said No. to him?" He looked surprised with slightly sparkling eyes.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTYA0xmbZs
"Um..w-why? Do I have another choice?" I said raising an eyebrow at him.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsHzKlgq9k
"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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVxqyueSd6
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA1kQIzdhl
All of this confused me.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUxclKNveT
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gEzMtRn3C
"Hisss....you've come to your own conclusion..." I muttered under my breath a little annoyed.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4prDumJQi
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WOOOTPxbl
"Hm okay, the point is.... tonight you still go with me right?" he asked with slightly sparkling eyes.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIHQ2QFPzh
I nodded slowly.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmPCZaJD4Q
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ8ensnL3e
"Yaaah, don't be arrogant... i'm just doing my job..." I said glaring softly.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDoQduT5Ht
Tae smiled.
"I guarantee you won't regret your decision...." he said in a deep voice.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVTka8LNnB
his meaningful gaze made me suddenly bit my lip nervously.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjw3WldlYe
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefMPK3oNdN
Without being able to prevent it, he quickly pressed his body and brought his face closer to mine.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGr2hxvfYI
"Umm? uh.... t-tae...." I stuttered as I pushed my back against the wall.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv357ippCNI
"Mm?" He mumbled quietly, staring at my lips.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IW2uV13Xw
Damn, I can't go anywhere else.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPXGcR2PdW
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXZEdsJLcD
Oh, No.... what should I do?
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYjyYinGCk
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64jZh0xxRq
muuah!
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l7WPd0arp
"Hmmfff...." Tae was surprised to find the cold surface of the can suddenly stuck to his lips, stopping his movement towards me suddenly.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4Yt2RJDvq
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5X24sESaS
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dYQe53Tk6
"Come on, shall we start?" i asked while grin nervously, trying to distract tae who is still looking at me
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKVllbqgrB
Tae snorted softly then lazily walked over to the canvas.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnj8rmmtmZ
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlifovwM83A
He prepared everything without saying a word, apparently he was still annoyed with my attitude that suddenly thrust the cold can to his face.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdd8KI72Mw
It was so cute tho to see his sulky face, it made me smile quitely.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFCaLAGifQ
"Ok, ready? I will start painting.." he said glanced at me who nodded quickly.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpag1D4CYrY
"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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JAWjkDQG6
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiF6o5WOGW
"Yaaah.... don't move much..." he hissed in protest at me.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfjD2dWTk0
I suddenly stopped and rolled my eyes at him.
Iish, fun killer! I grumbled in my heart.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnq4XCwOub
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.

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1ZiuoQDGJ
"Wait? What's this??" I shrieked softly at the painting in front of me.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhW0njgnGb
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1xSgGLQXz
"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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYEpBdA8V2
Tae laughed out loud seeing the expression on my face which might look weird
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEt1wASgGy
"I call this the VANTE style....my own style." He grins widely
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5txJvVJ5c
"Oh... some kind of abstract style, hm?" I said trying hard to understand.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9EaYstoCH
"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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrt2HMeZCn
He must be kidding.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fc4iBUZXR
I grimaced softly, still couldn’t understand his randomness
"So you're saying we both look like twins, huh?"
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHvJFoRrYV
Tae laughed loudly then put his two canvases on the floor and stepped closer to me.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYzzQVm7al
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaBLtRrTW3
"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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoOZ4EFIVX
I was stunned to hear the answer.
Makes me realize something
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZdgQSgh9A
"Wait, if that So....
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSgl6Eb95X
You don't really need a model for your painting?" I furrowed my brows spontaneously
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbw72nXpJ8
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UnbJZnTfP
Tae chuckled softly as he brought his handsome face closer. He then cupped my face with both of his palms, surprising me.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa74T7TI1R2
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaaszAEg7o
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeYKUpcaZM
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXfDftqCbR
"You should have known, Lily Byeol....... I'll do anything to keep you close to me..."
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8lJoNmKc3
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC1wWffhpw
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO4k9olOSh
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQbHgUmkIB
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZNwN0gSoD
The triumphant smile on his face instantly left me speechless.
