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

402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jfSNgXfad
Suddenly my phone rang in my hand, cutting off the intense view of jk
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJIei9jtBV
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY10La2OBQN
Ah, tae....!
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5RH8QC9Zu
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJIMKzuKIQ
"Yeah...." I mumbled slowly picking up the phone
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaqYPgGpbT
"Well, why is it taking so long? Didn’t you find the room?" Tae asked with a sulky tone.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x1v6yxNva
"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.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK1tzqlHT9
"Is that, Tae-hyung?" Jk suddenly asked
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDGbmIANRv
I nodded slowly at him.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8aXx6T0gR
"Lily? Who are you talking to?" Tae asked on the other side of the phone.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIaQ6k99Mq
I think it’s because jk was standing so close to me so Tae could hear his voice too
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ODqiErSx3
"Oh ... I’m talking to jeykey ..." I answered briefly.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqUHhNUwi1
Jk suddenly stuck out his fingers and took the phone from my ear without me being able to prevent it.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYiTEB9DG8
"Hi hyung, will lily be off duty tonight as your assistant?" Jk asked suddenly, it took me by surprise
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHM3JK0qGt
Tae's voice is faintly heard on the other side
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmw4nu9tmH
"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.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVkxIRT4kw
Oh my gosh, jeykey?? Why did he tell Tae?
I haven't said that I agree to go with him
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheireWEUBZ
"... she can’t ? Why..??" Jk suddenly hissed in disappointment.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMSVwFEx4o
I raised my eyebrows, trying to guess the words Tae said.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5jmcucKxx
"Fine..." jk muttered with a frown on his face then handed the phone back to my hand.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaYzu2Fk3a
I sighed quietly, did not understand what was going on.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ss5UCjyKI
"Yes..." I mumbled softly, returning with the phone on my ear
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd96aGRyNwj
"The paints, lily..... I want to paint immediately.." Tae said in a tone that sounded flat
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ230uEs8dmS
"Ok.." I answered simply. Before I could speak again, Tae had hung up the phone.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw6nYNIk13
He sounded annoyed.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGfzvMR4CR
“Tae-hyung said you should accompany him to the chun family residence tonight?” Jk asked with a bent face
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG9URGRZNV
I nodded slowly
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGM6WSCBZs
"Sorry jeykey... I have no other choice..." I said biting my lip slowly
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG38VR6GY5
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.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzpPMcLFgu
I smile while nodding
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAG9L9IL6a
"Now I have to hurry upstairs...." I said
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhripitHBa
"Let me help you .." he offered, carrying a pile of newspapers.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBFDmOisNx
We both finally left the storage room and headed to Tae's room.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriYnDkllqL
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM0TCKLMOv
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
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KDLp4k1G0
"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.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePtg9Ks9rz
"Hey, hyung..... about tonight..." jk opens his mouth
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXcrnwZYcD
"No, you can't..." Tae shook his head quickly.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9xw2vFPQn
"But..."
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljH2mY55UC
"Bye, Jeykey..." Tae said quickly then closed the bedroom door in front of Jk's surprised face.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb3eycpL5r
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.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBC02wtdLU
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.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGmxHyqWpx
"Mmph..." I was surprised when I realized that I was stopped because my back hit the surface of the cupboard.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZjJGDx1WD
Tae leans closer and closes the distance between the two of us, making me squeez the paint cans even tighter in my arms.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWotWeU7vms
"You took so long..." he mumbled, sounding annoyed. He pursed his red lips at me.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwPe1KQMPk
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.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLOQqvufyj
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.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pm1rlpZVp
"Hmm?" I'm confused what to answer
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDyGfp31Un
"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.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS1wYoQ3yz
"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.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0LOo1hIH0
"What....? it's not like that, I didn't say yes to him..." I muttered in denial.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZTXoSyo1h
"Really? So you.... said No. to him?" He looked surprised with slightly sparkling eyes.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5lL2s4iL1
"Um..w-why? Do I have another choice?" I said raising an eyebrow at him.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaBWtvViI0
"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.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFiWonCWjs
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.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ18DkbCnH5
All of this confused me.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLva0ypdZIm
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFR2lL3IyP
"Hisss....you've come to your own conclusion..." I muttered under my breath a little annoyed.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXSdeYiKxp
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.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMqjK9X98y
"Hm okay, the point is.... tonight you still go with me right?" he asked with slightly sparkling eyes.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQXh3wzC34
I nodded slowly.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyelxJE6JQ
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.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1zuPyhNxh
"Yaaah, don't be arrogant... i'm just doing my job..." I said glaring softly.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4nFvSLNwJ
Tae smiled.
"I guarantee you won't regret your decision...." he said in a deep voice.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNzZW9HTVP
his meaningful gaze made me suddenly bit my lip nervously.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUXSvw3vEJ
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.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlVpJtoaUs
Without being able to prevent it, he quickly pressed his body and brought his face closer to mine.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSeAYmJsAE
"Umm? uh.... t-tae...." I stuttered as I pushed my back against the wall.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYG7noPOVt
"Mm?" He mumbled quietly, staring at my lips.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9HslapxN6
Damn, I can't go anywhere else.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyRTM82xfT
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.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvRT7J9RHN
Oh, No.... what should I do?
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IgX9bt5SP
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.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdoebpD02M
muuah!
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC7OGcWVWE
"Hmmfff...." Tae was surprised to find the cold surface of the can suddenly stuck to his lips, stopping his movement towards me suddenly.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1x2oaFXi7
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.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRzWZF7vDJ
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.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3Teh9Ri1F
"Come on, shall we start?" i asked while grin nervously, trying to distract tae who is still looking at me
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogbSrRS9xP
Tae snorted softly then lazily walked over to the canvas.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpdJGvYntr
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.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNw0mNaIRP
He prepared everything without saying a word, apparently he was still annoyed with my attitude that suddenly thrust the cold can to his face.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGvKm7g65U
It was so cute tho to see his sulky face, it made me smile quitely.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZfxM7PnmG
"Ok, ready? I will start painting.." he said glanced at me who nodded quickly.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHf08DXzUp
"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.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pX3Pq5ibg
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.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9KHJNE6bK
"Yaaah.... don't move much..." he hissed in protest at me.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIAQAfQSp6
I suddenly stopped and rolled my eyes at him.
Iish, fun killer! I grumbled in my heart.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUbmKEoxVz
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.

402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU0u8HfU6s
"Wait? What's this??" I shrieked softly at the painting in front of me.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91xJ9fADWw
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.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAwwH04YCm
"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.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIMqaJi9wh
Tae laughed out loud seeing the expression on my face which might look weird
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9wgdFZMZh
"I call this the VANTE style....my own style." He grins widely
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVuxwjHVF7
"Oh... some kind of abstract style, hm?" I said trying hard to understand.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32y78YFMOt
"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.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2d9aPwnjx
He must be kidding.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemBbBIYNCI
I grimaced softly, still couldn’t understand his randomness
"So you're saying we both look like twins, huh?"
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi9KxhqPtN
Tae laughed loudly then put his two canvases on the floor and stepped closer to me.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAUIal1IDe
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQSHww8uwW
"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.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWJ7YvvrHd
I was stunned to hear the answer.
Makes me realize something
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b9rGhLuJr
"Wait, if that So....
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlaSa0uECg
You don't really need a model for your painting?" I furrowed my brows spontaneously
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBPU3mTwGq
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO4HpPfpKZ
Tae chuckled softly as he brought his handsome face closer. He then cupped my face with both of his palms, surprising me.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV6wNB7y3L
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.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6iZqRq1ml
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbEqTGcAmw
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINyziqIot2
"You should have known, Lily Byeol....... I'll do anything to keep you close to me..."

402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhhj2ncaZB
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLz8XvHXRb
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvniDmGQJQZ
The triumphant smile on his face instantly left me speechless.
