"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

224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEtLSUd3RT
Suddenly my phone rang in my hand, cutting off the intense view of jk
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdZTOJWM2V
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKubbZUmHE4
Ah, tae....!
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY8kXUOpLi
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8gD8vIiDT
"Yeah...." I mumbled slowly picking up the phone
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmR2wGf3fl
"Well, why is it taking so long? Didn’t you find the room?" Tae asked with a sulky tone.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1vBDqKaXV
"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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCHVrVr5V4
"Is that, Tae-hyung?" Jk suddenly asked
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9UXrSlryr
I nodded slowly at him.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJYVx29L41
"Lily? Who are you talking to?" Tae asked on the other side of the phone.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMp4yL3p1D
I think it’s because jk was standing so close to me so Tae could hear his voice too
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93Bs8M8Lea
"Oh ... I’m talking to jeykey ..." I answered briefly.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW72ffCgXD
Jk suddenly stuck out his fingers and took the phone from my ear without me being able to prevent it.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQEJ7tuCZj
"Hi hyung, will lily be off duty tonight as your assistant?" Jk asked suddenly, it took me by surprise
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SVT9luSxp
Tae's voice is faintly heard on the other side
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc3NnqB65f
"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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU1KGCln6L
Oh my gosh, jeykey?? Why did he tell Tae?
I haven't said that I agree to go with him
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXEG9HLfl4
"... she can’t ? Why..??" Jk suddenly hissed in disappointment.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYgEOIyz4e
I raised my eyebrows, trying to guess the words Tae said.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZQyjprEX9
"Fine..." jk muttered with a frown on his face then handed the phone back to my hand.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMfs8KiHv1
I sighed quietly, did not understand what was going on.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCIUeAcIar
"Yes..." I mumbled softly, returning with the phone on my ear
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMP4ObWsmC
"The paints, lily..... I want to paint immediately.." Tae said in a tone that sounded flat
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxd1VmMgJe
"Ok.." I answered simply. Before I could speak again, Tae had hung up the phone.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTfAH936YP
He sounded annoyed.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvxKcCBxVb
“Tae-hyung said you should accompany him to the chun family residence tonight?” Jk asked with a bent face
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JQ47LvY9o
I nodded slowly
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IWqMyUQVC
"Sorry jeykey... I have no other choice..." I said biting my lip slowly
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafiYQEdaEa
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfgt0Pcgm4
I smile while nodding
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn71RHVj5YI
"Now I have to hurry upstairs...." I said
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7v4iXcKEd
"Let me help you .." he offered, carrying a pile of newspapers.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTW6nY2r3e
We both finally left the storage room and headed to Tae's room.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiEVlVmNGg
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyPqQ12lkF
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
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKK6e4zIvA
"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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYyanzzMp0
"Hey, hyung..... about tonight..." jk opens his mouth
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VCaHo4n1a
"No, you can't..." Tae shook his head quickly.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTDS3vFtut
"But..."
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5fhuEQ7QU
"Bye, Jeykey..." Tae said quickly then closed the bedroom door in front of Jk's surprised face.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUylchVwCg
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHy5IGhFQD
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPzFFwLEUC
"Mmph..." I was surprised when I realized that I was stopped because my back hit the surface of the cupboard.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K5fGpN7lI
Tae leans closer and closes the distance between the two of us, making me squeez the paint cans even tighter in my arms.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsOC2pgcob
"You took so long..." he mumbled, sounding annoyed. He pursed his red lips at me.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODbrFaSaCZ
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RHXwrY7bX
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyehffx2Qm
"Hmm?" I'm confused what to answer
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3nGw8Mj80
"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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWaiuoSZwv
"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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE9IWXsRb6
"What....? it's not like that, I didn't say yes to him..." I muttered in denial.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOky8Y9hSs
"Really? So you.... said No. to him?" He looked surprised with slightly sparkling eyes.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJSV2M0q7S
"Um..w-why? Do I have another choice?" I said raising an eyebrow at him.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7DcfsMVZx
"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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbON6e4emnf
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKWElBSdSz
All of this confused me.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQNht9udmd
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76txGSGhSL
"Hisss....you've come to your own conclusion..." I muttered under my breath a little annoyed.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrk300FfaS
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheNHeADu7k
"Hm okay, the point is.... tonight you still go with me right?" he asked with slightly sparkling eyes.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1rKhCnyL8
I nodded slowly.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL20iuErtIz
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqGmjdbPQU
"Yaaah, don't be arrogant... i'm just doing my job..." I said glaring softly.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdza3qZB1Mf
Tae smiled.
"I guarantee you won't regret your decision...." he said in a deep voice.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3SIJ7LnmB
his meaningful gaze made me suddenly bit my lip nervously.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9LzG6kV3v
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcDcvIglRw
Without being able to prevent it, he quickly pressed his body and brought his face closer to mine.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeIun0eZJ1
"Umm? uh.... t-tae...." I stuttered as I pushed my back against the wall.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtPR4794Zz
"Mm?" He mumbled quietly, staring at my lips.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06q2lqDlJ3
Damn, I can't go anywhere else.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUNtkYRKtf
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulFRxyTUk4
Oh, No.... what should I do?
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNCauwFhoT
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ5X00ZlFt
muuah!
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDolIaMDcs
"Hmmfff...." Tae was surprised to find the cold surface of the can suddenly stuck to his lips, stopping his movement towards me suddenly.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6q3Tc62ZF
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLXV1yKxff
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr45ab76Ll
"Come on, shall we start?" i asked while grin nervously, trying to distract tae who is still looking at me
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UDfLkdZS6
Tae snorted softly then lazily walked over to the canvas.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3OVvVTPxN
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjUAtA3yfx
He prepared everything without saying a word, apparently he was still annoyed with my attitude that suddenly thrust the cold can to his face.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62hhtzuQqO
It was so cute tho to see his sulky face, it made me smile quitely.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PmeVnX3wA
"Ok, ready? I will start painting.." he said glanced at me who nodded quickly.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeqL44O4Y8
"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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AvOqY2chW
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFD8aTmwMV
"Yaaah.... don't move much..." he hissed in protest at me.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcjAHtd94y
I suddenly stopped and rolled my eyes at him.
Iish, fun killer! I grumbled in my heart.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicWofRpvuy
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.

224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp1I543LrR
"Wait? What's this??" I shrieked softly at the painting in front of me.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeIdnjxiiz
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDpTWN3N0K
"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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2ho2Y0gGY
Tae laughed out loud seeing the expression on my face which might look weird
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqctQVTyiM
"I call this the VANTE style....my own style." He grins widely
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KMSppZUpe
"Oh... some kind of abstract style, hm?" I said trying hard to understand.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94U7dxIHGQ
"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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ndIU8NsR2
He must be kidding.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBlqC0nekD
I grimaced softly, still couldn’t understand his randomness
"So you're saying we both look like twins, huh?"
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXQskK82Pp
Tae laughed loudly then put his two canvases on the floor and stepped closer to me.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVJKplrWQI
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmrP6ADsRw
"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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReX7sGvw7f
I was stunned to hear the answer.
Makes me realize something
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJaKZjQ0SD
"Wait, if that So....
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YlLbfrJFK
You don't really need a model for your painting?" I furrowed my brows spontaneously
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9VWo9CTqS
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2b8PpxVRl
Tae chuckled softly as he brought his handsome face closer. He then cupped my face with both of his palms, surprising me.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZIXSQIkpu
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqKM7QTljj
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd7iUPQLCN
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLpxPPSN2h
"You should have known, Lily Byeol....... I'll do anything to keep you close to me..."

224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycNsyrk0jP
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcknE5nOFC
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdENQNucMNz
The triumphant smile on his face instantly left me speechless.
