"Can i....um....treat you dinner....tonight?" Jk said as he looked me in the eye.

The question took me by surprise.. my tongue suddenly went numb and I seemed to be at a loss for words

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQvmRVEo6q
Suddenly my phone rang in my hand, cutting off the intense view of jk
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wHNynmwbH
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsNtD4ZZFI
Ah, tae....!
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZRBoo7auL
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcgWuel5n5
"Yeah...." I mumbled slowly picking up the phone
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4yOjVH8ND
"Well, why is it taking so long? Didn’t you find the room?" Tae asked with a sulky tone.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRZVx529eG
"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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iHKBWp70C
"Is that, Tae-hyung?" Jk suddenly asked
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3fq6wBokt
I nodded slowly at him.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIH1SxkPHm
"Lily? Who are you talking to?" Tae asked on the other side of the phone.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a7zgWzOaU
I think it’s because jk was standing so close to me so Tae could hear his voice too
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CU2Mo4jpa
"Oh ... I’m talking to jeykey ..." I answered briefly.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeptZVQqexI
Jk suddenly stuck out his fingers and took the phone from my ear without me being able to prevent it.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuyAzcKhAm
"Hi hyung, will lily be off duty tonight as your assistant?" Jk asked suddenly, it took me by surprise
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3T9XmDgaz
Tae's voice is faintly heard on the other side
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQgOTEBxoZ
"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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaFZVuYb04
Oh my gosh, jeykey?? Why did he tell Tae?
I haven't said that I agree to go with him
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSQNgeSgCr
"... she can’t ? Why..??" Jk suddenly hissed in disappointment.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4Bpanb6n2
I raised my eyebrows, trying to guess the words Tae said.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fhRyb05YT
"Fine..." jk muttered with a frown on his face then handed the phone back to my hand.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1NzxcbkjQ
I sighed quietly, did not understand what was going on.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OyBBRG04b
"Yes..." I mumbled softly, returning with the phone on my ear
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj6ooDAyhE
"The paints, lily..... I want to paint immediately.." Tae said in a tone that sounded flat
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUpMzM9vlP
"Ok.." I answered simply. Before I could speak again, Tae had hung up the phone.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWro9kBdqX
He sounded annoyed.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdtBDFKHVp
“Tae-hyung said you should accompany him to the chun family residence tonight?” Jk asked with a bent face
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZcg3gyeh1
I nodded slowly
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrO4lsbaNh
"Sorry jeykey... I have no other choice..." I said biting my lip slowly
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe5k4evkBF
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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVEakx7X41
I smile while nodding
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4qdRoyGPW
"Now I have to hurry upstairs...." I said
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOtqQi3nTS
"Let me help you .." he offered, carrying a pile of newspapers.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdLRq1O0bx
We both finally left the storage room and headed to Tae's room.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAlhc6b0St
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVwl2U4yvh
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
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC14dOVt4fM
"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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpxlPRgsd6
"Hey, hyung..... about tonight..." jk opens his mouth
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCmHJq0eZY
"No, you can't..." Tae shook his head quickly.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6kbKD23KQ
"But..."
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ7uDrnTuB
"Bye, Jeykey..." Tae said quickly then closed the bedroom door in front of Jk's surprised face.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIlntU8NeL
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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV822D8hbP0
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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXjwsV5Ox1
"Mmph..." I was surprised when I realized that I was stopped because my back hit the surface of the cupboard.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvww7je0ti
Tae leans closer and closes the distance between the two of us, making me squeez the paint cans even tighter in my arms.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE8KMKojdW
"You took so long..." he mumbled, sounding annoyed. He pursed his red lips at me.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYTR6h3LAP
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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBygoAF10Qr
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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3fDpAV79f
"Hmm?" I'm confused what to answer
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi7c4tKnY8
"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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmRrIfS4PT
"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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH3jFprLqE
"What....? it's not like that, I didn't say yes to him..." I muttered in denial.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7aPZbL2m0
"Really? So you.... said No. to him?" He looked surprised with slightly sparkling eyes.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTJbbsIy5n
"Um..w-why? Do I have another choice?" I said raising an eyebrow at him.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgGLB8jzx4
"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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxm19KlMyw
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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdI7le9saH
All of this confused me.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62UvyKcdeq
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9KHArTlSY
"Hisss....you've come to your own conclusion..." I muttered under my breath a little annoyed.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kOsdbfcEl
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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jjnWRuDu8
"Hm okay, the point is.... tonight you still go with me right?" he asked with slightly sparkling eyes.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFZpNR5nzz
I nodded slowly.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8jMAEXJQG
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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yS0Zs7bWd
"Yaaah, don't be arrogant... i'm just doing my job..." I said glaring softly.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8eEd3NyZ9
Tae smiled.
"I guarantee you won't regret your decision...." he said in a deep voice.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH63R0e2oa
his meaningful gaze made me suddenly bit my lip nervously.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3LPtPZ1om
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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZm1RUuuTX
Without being able to prevent it, he quickly pressed his body and brought his face closer to mine.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT3rhVYQM3
"Umm? uh.... t-tae...." I stuttered as I pushed my back against the wall.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hUSJafoLX
"Mm?" He mumbled quietly, staring at my lips.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOC3uQN6eC
Damn, I can't go anywhere else.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI7bkdpThm
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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqo3uW0fpj
Oh, No.... what should I do?
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkPoz50PER
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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz5jRlY3n6
muuah!
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpPbenC9vY
"Hmmfff...." Tae was surprised to find the cold surface of the can suddenly stuck to his lips, stopping his movement towards me suddenly.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5chjUECn7
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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqqoTixU9I
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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGkFgoBk2N
"Come on, shall we start?" i asked while grin nervously, trying to distract tae who is still looking at me
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GlwDW28RA
Tae snorted softly then lazily walked over to the canvas.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUe6A2xy9K
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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DRnWkVLeC
He prepared everything without saying a word, apparently he was still annoyed with my attitude that suddenly thrust the cold can to his face.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8ERPLM8pz
It was so cute tho to see his sulky face, it made me smile quitely.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zP28aw7Ib
"Ok, ready? I will start painting.." he said glanced at me who nodded quickly.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0OZGvW3A1
"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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox4cnClbSm
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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7Csjh7ZxZ
"Yaaah.... don't move much..." he hissed in protest at me.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBKALHowQi
I suddenly stopped and rolled my eyes at him.
Iish, fun killer! I grumbled in my heart.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNTWMY6j6y
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.

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7szOhMtw1
"Wait? What's this??" I shrieked softly at the painting in front of me.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QCgMLFVL2
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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqaj9DklrC
"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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdymTHz2cV
Tae laughed out loud seeing the expression on my face which might look weird
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qSMAX2Xst
"I call this the VANTE style....my own style." He grins widely
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxBso1zKRv
"Oh... some kind of abstract style, hm?" I said trying hard to understand.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5D2UDXmGa
"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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1YTDtgxIC
He must be kidding.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYmBQwq9Fu
I grimaced softly, still couldn’t understand his randomness
"So you're saying we both look like twins, huh?"
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbWC9aXtPO
Tae laughed loudly then put his two canvases on the floor and stepped closer to me.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67qm06rvdP
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOoUEnAze0
"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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKEFWM9Iiw
I was stunned to hear the answer.
Makes me realize something
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0Ap6Zshgf
"Wait, if that So....
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaX2w1n34g
You don't really need a model for your painting?" I furrowed my brows spontaneously
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2O8tsuvcg
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYqQAiaqrd
Tae chuckled softly as he brought his handsome face closer. He then cupped my face with both of his palms, surprising me.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezu3efz21S
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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscy3HE0mBT
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABvsQAFkuc
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlIdZ4lYKt
"You should have known, Lily Byeol....... I'll do anything to keep you close to me..."

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmIFI4v2PJ
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImCrL04oPd
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov1R2fbhSK
The triumphant smile on his face instantly left me speechless.
