"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

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKdQcTRByv
Suddenly my phone rang in my hand, cutting off the intense view of jk
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dkAN7szfX
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEMFLQNIk4
Ah, tae....!
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl3DJasn5l
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOVuSgtyM0
"Yeah...." I mumbled slowly picking up the phone
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewjo1Kv2RF
"Well, why is it taking so long? Didn’t you find the room?" Tae asked with a sulky tone.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94daoPuhmO
"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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC9uqTdInL
"Is that, Tae-hyung?" Jk suddenly asked
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9jyR95dyg
I nodded slowly at him.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKczMzlu99
"Lily? Who are you talking to?" Tae asked on the other side of the phone.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFVKyF6E3E
I think it’s because jk was standing so close to me so Tae could hear his voice too
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobuaeL0Lnm
"Oh ... I’m talking to jeykey ..." I answered briefly.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eP4EBpNNl
Jk suddenly stuck out his fingers and took the phone from my ear without me being able to prevent it.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPX8P4eiaB
"Hi hyung, will lily be off duty tonight as your assistant?" Jk asked suddenly, it took me by surprise
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGe7WJzsNV
Tae's voice is faintly heard on the other side
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63i3KklMCE
"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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrww5JGWdx
Oh my gosh, jeykey?? Why did he tell Tae?
I haven't said that I agree to go with him
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ7ej97hy5
"... she can’t ? Why..??" Jk suddenly hissed in disappointment.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5uVfYz4FI
I raised my eyebrows, trying to guess the words Tae said.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenUpmVeDgN
"Fine..." jk muttered with a frown on his face then handed the phone back to my hand.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFCKdxTu0X
I sighed quietly, did not understand what was going on.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo6Zk4uZt0
"Yes..." I mumbled softly, returning with the phone on my ear
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3BrBoX4eH
"The paints, lily..... I want to paint immediately.." Tae said in a tone that sounded flat
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQkgRwvCBL
"Ok.." I answered simply. Before I could speak again, Tae had hung up the phone.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A7ziBTTUu
He sounded annoyed.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhvS5mL4YY
“Tae-hyung said you should accompany him to the chun family residence tonight?” Jk asked with a bent face
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSu1yaRSY6
I nodded slowly
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNm2rwveDJ
"Sorry jeykey... I have no other choice..." I said biting my lip slowly
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSFPVKpgTc
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMTuYQqsOz
I smile while nodding
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwdXhTbILT
"Now I have to hurry upstairs...." I said
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi6HqZ2tgN
"Let me help you .." he offered, carrying a pile of newspapers.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemnb5qtEt1
We both finally left the storage room and headed to Tae's room.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvOfXooAFl
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gsylSaoD9
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
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebW1xbLiLA
"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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUlZaY03sN
"Hey, hyung..... about tonight..." jk opens his mouth
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMpP5qkfPk
"No, you can't..." Tae shook his head quickly.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG9u61JpuU
"But..."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL6gxLDlTI
"Bye, Jeykey..." Tae said quickly then closed the bedroom door in front of Jk's surprised face.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDXvAQq0Yj
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SdzT9Krjs
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFpuaxmToH
"Mmph..." I was surprised when I realized that I was stopped because my back hit the surface of the cupboard.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DJfe4sZ4J
Tae leans closer and closes the distance between the two of us, making me squeez the paint cans even tighter in my arms.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVakJPFqZP
"You took so long..." he mumbled, sounding annoyed. He pursed his red lips at me.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B94jTA9Hh
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeri381lPIL
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96NFsgVj3X
"Hmm?" I'm confused what to answer
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4otBl3cGPo
"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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo7GJ0stuX
"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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfFBsPZIlC
"What....? it's not like that, I didn't say yes to him..." I muttered in denial.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDCus7JkYt
"Really? So you.... said No. to him?" He looked surprised with slightly sparkling eyes.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BCCfQoGRb
"Um..w-why? Do I have another choice?" I said raising an eyebrow at him.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5VYP85qvI
"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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdRvZ5Y9Jk
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSJ3YoWRWW
All of this confused me.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GcKaGeOBw
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOjyLsxlF7
"Hisss....you've come to your own conclusion..." I muttered under my breath a little annoyed.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplM0931Zkj
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gM42CuzHg
"Hm okay, the point is.... tonight you still go with me right?" he asked with slightly sparkling eyes.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwxNGZ7KYs
I nodded slowly.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2BtzHsNhM
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oWXsa0eeu
"Yaaah, don't be arrogant... i'm just doing my job..." I said glaring softly.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHctr5Uk8y
Tae smiled.
"I guarantee you won't regret your decision...." he said in a deep voice.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeLSEtEQPr
his meaningful gaze made me suddenly bit my lip nervously.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbelUinkzo
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C4Icge0UU
Without being able to prevent it, he quickly pressed his body and brought his face closer to mine.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZNGpHjUjj
"Umm? uh.... t-tae...." I stuttered as I pushed my back against the wall.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHBk1Qgzc7
"Mm?" He mumbled quietly, staring at my lips.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDnuXve0jk
Damn, I can't go anywhere else.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lKc7BMfL1
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX8MXxc6Ga
Oh, No.... what should I do?
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3psCpn2a2S
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchSoZcZIBd
muuah!
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWknz0g8EI
"Hmmfff...." Tae was surprised to find the cold surface of the can suddenly stuck to his lips, stopping his movement towards me suddenly.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U6wZ9WBQb
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA3Tjay0rU
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIrhBBGSy6
"Come on, shall we start?" i asked while grin nervously, trying to distract tae who is still looking at me
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DiU7Kr7af
Tae snorted softly then lazily walked over to the canvas.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjcclBzpch
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNnY4W4OMF
He prepared everything without saying a word, apparently he was still annoyed with my attitude that suddenly thrust the cold can to his face.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF7TQcUKPb
It was so cute tho to see his sulky face, it made me smile quitely.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyXhD9Jia6
"Ok, ready? I will start painting.." he said glanced at me who nodded quickly.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhP9VPOKox
"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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jU6eyKU5d
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt6fm1cORc
"Yaaah.... don't move much..." he hissed in protest at me.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7aMh94PYu
I suddenly stopped and rolled my eyes at him.
Iish, fun killer! I grumbled in my heart.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufBQ4v7RzB
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.

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb4DBx5lNH
"Wait? What's this??" I shrieked softly at the painting in front of me.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgkGXZtOJk
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttwmnDaJKu
"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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo06JPdPQLU
Tae laughed out loud seeing the expression on my face which might look weird
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2a5j4oH07
"I call this the VANTE style....my own style." He grins widely
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgvUAZvEa1
"Oh... some kind of abstract style, hm?" I said trying hard to understand.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBLdzAhF8d
"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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuleMgpNU9
He must be kidding.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J3OyulBM9
I grimaced softly, still couldn’t understand his randomness
"So you're saying we both look like twins, huh?"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ruHNe5vem
Tae laughed loudly then put his two canvases on the floor and stepped closer to me.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREDfitw7On
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0Aatf5sEK
"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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxbJkQcNGY
I was stunned to hear the answer.
Makes me realize something
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35pVkZZyGE
"Wait, if that So....
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsXCrFfaLN
You don't really need a model for your painting?" I furrowed my brows spontaneously
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo3r4ewq3v
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbliLwDuPH4
Tae chuckled softly as he brought his handsome face closer. He then cupped my face with both of his palms, surprising me.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHYqcu0xyi
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEF9MdiXbQ
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFzqV3S2Wb
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri3IY8nTbZ
"You should have known, Lily Byeol....... I'll do anything to keep you close to me..."

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79cRfySNMK
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6zjWf87w8
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNpmkfT7lG
The triumphant smile on his face instantly left me speechless.
