"Can i....um....treat you dinner....tonight?" Jk said as he looked me in the eye.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8m4aHCSxI
The question took me by surprise.. my tongue suddenly went numb and I seemed to be at a loss for words

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xuR101fuJ
Suddenly my phone rang in my hand, cutting off the intense view of jk
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGlfdWQ86P
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qkHXmgjII
Ah, tae....!
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kgXWclQAD
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM1QVEDSlL
"Yeah...." I mumbled slowly picking up the phone
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjzPNMYYd2
"Well, why is it taking so long? Didn’t you find the room?" Tae asked with a sulky tone.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DrIG3NBWk
"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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ccYePRI8p
"Is that, Tae-hyung?" Jk suddenly asked
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4iEdXtuMX
I nodded slowly at him.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPklhfV4Szk
"Lily? Who are you talking to?" Tae asked on the other side of the phone.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Fv6FxEBXh
I think it’s because jk was standing so close to me so Tae could hear his voice too
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev1psrcqw2
"Oh ... I’m talking to jeykey ..." I answered briefly.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWqrHBAdZf
Jk suddenly stuck out his fingers and took the phone from my ear without me being able to prevent it.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9mKWfkEKl
"Hi hyung, will lily be off duty tonight as your assistant?" Jk asked suddenly, it took me by surprise
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQkaxzmgvv
Tae's voice is faintly heard on the other side
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR3R4BOxYq
"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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDFOYGam1y
Oh my gosh, jeykey?? Why did he tell Tae?
I haven't said that I agree to go with him
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkWAj36d22
"... she can’t ? Why..??" Jk suddenly hissed in disappointment.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnuONNwYi4
I raised my eyebrows, trying to guess the words Tae said.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEQW8FC9ya
"Fine..." jk muttered with a frown on his face then handed the phone back to my hand.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwlWuDaUUL
I sighed quietly, did not understand what was going on.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NQs9U6XuH
"Yes..." I mumbled softly, returning with the phone on my ear
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfQlr3mhSF
"The paints, lily..... I want to paint immediately.." Tae said in a tone that sounded flat
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr9vowUwhc
"Ok.." I answered simply. Before I could speak again, Tae had hung up the phone.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQklIRAj1Ud
He sounded annoyed.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch5FZOP1w7
“Tae-hyung said you should accompany him to the chun family residence tonight?” Jk asked with a bent face
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArpTud40mc
I nodded slowly
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9tqxnuUBk
"Sorry jeykey... I have no other choice..." I said biting my lip slowly
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh769UmAaK
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVPQRImqg4
I smile while nodding
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrzTCl0wDX
"Now I have to hurry upstairs...." I said
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdppJxEsjmB
"Let me help you .." he offered, carrying a pile of newspapers.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MmtcT8GeR
We both finally left the storage room and headed to Tae's room.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjc6SFplbp
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcRRHt4ojc
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
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8svgXrMSC
"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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN7ChfO8SG
"Hey, hyung..... about tonight..." jk opens his mouth
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16UfUUm621
"No, you can't..." Tae shook his head quickly.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bg6zb5LRE
"But..."
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90wX1im0pn
"Bye, Jeykey..." Tae said quickly then closed the bedroom door in front of Jk's surprised face.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr85CH0846j
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2lSG8OxbE
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenFQolR2tA
"Mmph..." I was surprised when I realized that I was stopped because my back hit the surface of the cupboard.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQAESpRct0
Tae leans closer and closes the distance between the two of us, making me squeez the paint cans even tighter in my arms.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB4tDsjOkF
"You took so long..." he mumbled, sounding annoyed. He pursed his red lips at me.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye2IlmXA5o
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIv8FcYUQD
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTcQMwADM2
"Hmm?" I'm confused what to answer
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtfg0GbXFv
"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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPRoCbGcJz
"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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReQtPMqsnc
"What....? it's not like that, I didn't say yes to him..." I muttered in denial.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBuSixaW96
"Really? So you.... said No. to him?" He looked surprised with slightly sparkling eyes.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwykVC6we9
"Um..w-why? Do I have another choice?" I said raising an eyebrow at him.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH052VBtsY
"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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yXvXYvA64
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AolQ42VOt
All of this confused me.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft905u7ETi
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9Prusgulx
"Hisss....you've come to your own conclusion..." I muttered under my breath a little annoyed.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHQvheGbrt
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JkjhmSk3S
"Hm okay, the point is.... tonight you still go with me right?" he asked with slightly sparkling eyes.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXUvGYz0zb
I nodded slowly.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSFPwqL8nz
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDKEjGD500
"Yaaah, don't be arrogant... i'm just doing my job..." I said glaring softly.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuTaF1Wz8C
Tae smiled.
"I guarantee you won't regret your decision...." he said in a deep voice.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIwPnjKqnJ
his meaningful gaze made me suddenly bit my lip nervously.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sjNgnLS7D
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3ZE8PbVr0
Without being able to prevent it, he quickly pressed his body and brought his face closer to mine.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JXIZNDUdo
"Umm? uh.... t-tae...." I stuttered as I pushed my back against the wall.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0WFI7PBVL
"Mm?" He mumbled quietly, staring at my lips.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoRs55wRlU
Damn, I can't go anywhere else.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOOE6coSKf
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYNFrXhsD6
Oh, No.... what should I do?
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYFu5OrNwD
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI6cQk9uZu
muuah!
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFjmqi4ZN4
"Hmmfff...." Tae was surprised to find the cold surface of the can suddenly stuck to his lips, stopping his movement towards me suddenly.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLecMxNPPz
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59krIxLKBU
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJTc1QDcMT
"Come on, shall we start?" i asked while grin nervously, trying to distract tae who is still looking at me
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0uxJLWJ7D
Tae snorted softly then lazily walked over to the canvas.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9SciXE45O
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N7TBeD80T
He prepared everything without saying a word, apparently he was still annoyed with my attitude that suddenly thrust the cold can to his face.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPXR9a20m0
It was so cute tho to see his sulky face, it made me smile quitely.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K4MwZfGzN
"Ok, ready? I will start painting.." he said glanced at me who nodded quickly.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC4BHcgMJO
"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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzDMvJ9eAc
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUvu73vkNK
"Yaaah.... don't move much..." he hissed in protest at me.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAd9ZIGUUX
I suddenly stopped and rolled my eyes at him.
Iish, fun killer! I grumbled in my heart.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER07FsS1zh
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.

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9GtA3KuwZ
"Wait? What's this??" I shrieked softly at the painting in front of me.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrJPJb0dDY
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYixgQSocZQ
"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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTw1UIMPDy
Tae laughed out loud seeing the expression on my face which might look weird
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMWLC58X2F
"I call this the VANTE style....my own style." He grins widely
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkLIyI21Mi
"Oh... some kind of abstract style, hm?" I said trying hard to understand.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlb4Sgm1qw
"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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CYe59cmmN
He must be kidding.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgnAt77QUx
I grimaced softly, still couldn’t understand his randomness
"So you're saying we both look like twins, huh?"
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbpB0fIAFM
Tae laughed loudly then put his two canvases on the floor and stepped closer to me.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp3waIq61f
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaM97Q7yI3
"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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPHHFKpXGE
I was stunned to hear the answer.
Makes me realize something
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64DMiyVCGE
"Wait, if that So....
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE1y6jh0SR
You don't really need a model for your painting?" I furrowed my brows spontaneously
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUbwKOwgQZ
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVbgLtFHk5
Tae chuckled softly as he brought his handsome face closer. He then cupped my face with both of his palms, surprising me.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlUJz9xsng
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9y4S8hj5W
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD59q0BzcUk
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaRBM2GXeF
"You should have known, Lily Byeol....... I'll do anything to keep you close to me..."
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpXQmdxjYR

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtSYWsHLOh
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vctYcWwyW
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2NzIuAJI0
The triumphant smile on his face instantly left me speechless.
