345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsM5nu44I5
Suddenly my phone rang in my hand, cutting off the intense view of jk
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2IlrwsMbD
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlLyAFqbfk
Ah, tae....!
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3Z26YqNa6
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7ql4CF8Ps
"Yeah...." I mumbled slowly picking up the phone
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DNCWS5Cik
"Well, why is it taking so long? Didn’t you find the room?" Tae asked with a sulky tone.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Jve61Lsvs
"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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrSrDlkWWI
"Is that, Tae-hyung?" Jk suddenly asked
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dcK8r0ZMe
I nodded slowly at him.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX1s5Kjrxz
"Lily? Who are you talking to?" Tae asked on the other side of the phone.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjixdUkleo
I think it’s because jk was standing so close to me so Tae could hear his voice too
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBgjBvwVGL
"Oh ... I’m talking to jeykey ..." I answered briefly.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjtXiU49IH
Jk suddenly stuck out his fingers and took the phone from my ear without me being able to prevent it.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8Cl8Z8dnR
"Hi hyung, will lily be off duty tonight as your assistant?" Jk asked suddenly, it took me by surprise
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgweAj5lKCd
Tae's voice is faintly heard on the other side
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7ADymwAte
"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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKybujoR4x
Oh my gosh, jeykey?? Why did he tell Tae?
I haven't said that I agree to go with him
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJirha2E0R9
"... she can’t ? Why..??" Jk suddenly hissed in disappointment.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R3H3KVuwL
I raised my eyebrows, trying to guess the words Tae said.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuMIh3z7Fu
"Fine..." jk muttered with a frown on his face then handed the phone back to my hand.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYALPuVRLUo
I sighed quietly, did not understand what was going on.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3ZbbSJ8hv
"Yes..." I mumbled softly, returning with the phone on my ear
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw846CRd8P
"The paints, lily..... I want to paint immediately.." Tae said in a tone that sounded flat
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdU4oPB348
"Ok.." I answered simply. Before I could speak again, Tae had hung up the phone.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixAjworr1y
He sounded annoyed.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i50YxKQU1
“Tae-hyung said you should accompany him to the chun family residence tonight?” Jk asked with a bent face
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1ZuEDmx3t
I nodded slowly
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCE2RBA4gn
"Sorry jeykey... I have no other choice..." I said biting my lip slowly
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCDvAqI35N
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU1of50Ko3
I smile while nodding
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbPVagpzIl
"Now I have to hurry upstairs...." I said
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4KlWY2GTO
"Let me help you .." he offered, carrying a pile of newspapers.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAqijjbkhy
We both finally left the storage room and headed to Tae's room.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sz8gkIBEm
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JTI8era7p
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
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4C3jSa1d9
"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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo55J1BGon
"Hey, hyung..... about tonight..." jk opens his mouth
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk81cOfk4d
"No, you can't..." Tae shook his head quickly.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSygo0LGov
"But..."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOZ5SUBZu3
"Bye, Jeykey..." Tae said quickly then closed the bedroom door in front of Jk's surprised face.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnh3Skr9lS
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCz1yqzDol
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZfUCYgEZF
"Mmph..." I was surprised when I realized that I was stopped because my back hit the surface of the cupboard.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLcIpXS584
Tae leans closer and closes the distance between the two of us, making me squeez the paint cans even tighter in my arms.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuFC9koqzc
"You took so long..." he mumbled, sounding annoyed. He pursed his red lips at me.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL12VrGXQFV
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJv0qaZV0H
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKGlYXBEBb
"Hmm?" I'm confused what to answer
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RA9ekJpM6
"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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72ApnY7Blh
"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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy02fDQqXt
"What....? it's not like that, I didn't say yes to him..." I muttered in denial.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3LhFQqxBV
"Really? So you.... said No. to him?" He looked surprised with slightly sparkling eyes.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDGoUmHwyp
"Um..w-why? Do I have another choice?" I said raising an eyebrow at him.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApPOK0AIKQ
"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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡourJeJLmKy
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfybnyIqvq3
All of this confused me.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nmoKDRDv4
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc55U03ioW
"Hisss....you've come to your own conclusion..." I muttered under my breath a little annoyed.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwontSQEiVB
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S8vcUNUfj
"Hm okay, the point is.... tonight you still go with me right?" he asked with slightly sparkling eyes.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpFNN7qQRh
I nodded slowly.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFubOdnwXR6
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJhfOG6AGZ
"Yaaah, don't be arrogant... i'm just doing my job..." I said glaring softly.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgvudRIGz6
Tae smiled.
"I guarantee you won't regret your decision...." he said in a deep voice.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg2HhUHzAj
his meaningful gaze made me suddenly bit my lip nervously.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9X4UHMcGe
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXarthLhqB
Without being able to prevent it, he quickly pressed his body and brought his face closer to mine.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHRMEK7Aga
"Umm? uh.... t-tae...." I stuttered as I pushed my back against the wall.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA3VVK1nAG
"Mm?" He mumbled quietly, staring at my lips.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsHuqDZnhW
Damn, I can't go anywhere else.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cKQ2qDmWc
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2ASC4u3k7
Oh, No.... what should I do?
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqzfhtl1J9
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIImIgrlap
muuah!
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl8RrXqMbQ
"Hmmfff...." Tae was surprised to find the cold surface of the can suddenly stuck to his lips, stopping his movement towards me suddenly.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXg4wNuKZL
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FFjBF4D1V
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwzhooo9Wo
"Come on, shall we start?" i asked while grin nervously, trying to distract tae who is still looking at me
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GMM2hSw8K
Tae snorted softly then lazily walked over to the canvas.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vn28Y7ZOk
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsArHiZz7R
He prepared everything without saying a word, apparently he was still annoyed with my attitude that suddenly thrust the cold can to his face.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z4rIM8HNY
It was so cute tho to see his sulky face, it made me smile quitely.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKQ0HdIGuG
"Ok, ready? I will start painting.." he said glanced at me who nodded quickly.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLipZsWta9
"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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWLtsbijs8
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesLhHWWdTI
"Yaaah.... don't move much..." he hissed in protest at me.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYXXAOIopI
I suddenly stopped and rolled my eyes at him.
Iish, fun killer! I grumbled in my heart.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDdqnRPVAb
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.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEVPWETcFD
"Wait? What's this??" I shrieked softly at the painting in front of me.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsJXxaBYPe
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo0gwcA8m9
"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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SoMZqHiAB
Tae laughed out loud seeing the expression on my face which might look weird
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2a1S1M4rg
"I call this the VANTE style....my own style." He grins widely
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigM33DKUku
"Oh... some kind of abstract style, hm?" I said trying hard to understand.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOleQtnUEL
"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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k8jkCoXvb
He must be kidding.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbC3e3TK3f
I grimaced softly, still couldn’t understand his randomness
"So you're saying we both look like twins, huh?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8SrB1KiU0
Tae laughed loudly then put his two canvases on the floor and stepped closer to me.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMdSrYFmjQ
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mdRCRB8Gq
"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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiBnof2eoF
I was stunned to hear the answer.
Makes me realize something
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfRcMzAlir
"Wait, if that So....
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExOfKInvJx
You don't really need a model for your painting?" I furrowed my brows spontaneously
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXabnMVNWC
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvrjqWH5Xd
Tae chuckled softly as he brought his handsome face closer. He then cupped my face with both of his palms, surprising me.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66syMIzuB6
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRThEOftDn0
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWV2zbWTPH
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGsHlvdkSh
"You should have known, Lily Byeol....... I'll do anything to keep you close to me..."

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4XmVT4CXL
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92OXbsJtu3
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfu04DeKTu
The triumphant smile on his face instantly left me speechless.
