"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

348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2zvdWo1uJ
Suddenly my phone rang in my hand, cutting off the intense view of jk
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAvJnBKjkN
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKUSMPXTIY
Ah, tae....!
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l7kFbdNtH
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs91IaM2Pn8
"Yeah...." I mumbled slowly picking up the phone
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeJyZbmJ2b
"Well, why is it taking so long? Didn’t you find the room?" Tae asked with a sulky tone.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM6xU9OvTI
"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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5QagIWRlv
"Is that, Tae-hyung?" Jk suddenly asked
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kDr0Q9ABl
I nodded slowly at him.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiWVfoK13s
"Lily? Who are you talking to?" Tae asked on the other side of the phone.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFEeiaoo4g
I think it’s because jk was standing so close to me so Tae could hear his voice too
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSNvrbLrqT
"Oh ... I’m talking to jeykey ..." I answered briefly.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1nLLyDg6l
Jk suddenly stuck out his fingers and took the phone from my ear without me being able to prevent it.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Mqqm2ljLB
"Hi hyung, will lily be off duty tonight as your assistant?" Jk asked suddenly, it took me by surprise
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig8gA95ePG
Tae's voice is faintly heard on the other side
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE8wq657Bg
"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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd1mLKjnGt
Oh my gosh, jeykey?? Why did he tell Tae?
I haven't said that I agree to go with him
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHlxbAIHhu
"... she can’t ? Why..??" Jk suddenly hissed in disappointment.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF0yN0skSY
I raised my eyebrows, trying to guess the words Tae said.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hnfhHy8Hu
"Fine..." jk muttered with a frown on his face then handed the phone back to my hand.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJa450AM6X
I sighed quietly, did not understand what was going on.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g2enHOH3S
"Yes..." I mumbled softly, returning with the phone on my ear
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlulChaEsBO
"The paints, lily..... I want to paint immediately.." Tae said in a tone that sounded flat
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NVzM65uBw
"Ok.." I answered simply. Before I could speak again, Tae had hung up the phone.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZYWTF00sB
He sounded annoyed.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhMScLlw7Z
“Tae-hyung said you should accompany him to the chun family residence tonight?” Jk asked with a bent face
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo8N4w1DNh
I nodded slowly
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj3D2cGR5C
"Sorry jeykey... I have no other choice..." I said biting my lip slowly
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9qDm6clji
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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HKCpzowdk
I smile while nodding
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQpfOv0Yva
"Now I have to hurry upstairs...." I said
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDAUIZwfov
"Let me help you .." he offered, carrying a pile of newspapers.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQWW7716W6
We both finally left the storage room and headed to Tae's room.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6D7tHsixu
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDgJhnG1VC
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
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5sPte1EDG
"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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxCdIhCmUd
"Hey, hyung..... about tonight..." jk opens his mouth
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJjbe2cdjB
"No, you can't..." Tae shook his head quickly.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUdpo9cYcg
"But..."
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniCJd96pgo
"Bye, Jeykey..." Tae said quickly then closed the bedroom door in front of Jk's surprised face.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkvKsxrN94
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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1jnRNzsoI
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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ4IzsLuE8
"Mmph..." I was surprised when I realized that I was stopped because my back hit the surface of the cupboard.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Mi1ovMiU9
Tae leans closer and closes the distance between the two of us, making me squeez the paint cans even tighter in my arms.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuboSw2Dy37
"You took so long..." he mumbled, sounding annoyed. He pursed his red lips at me.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak6HfZTrwn
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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSjsJ7NLoj
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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3wNG46mft
"Hmm?" I'm confused what to answer
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssqlIT8Q8R
"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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduNw1mpkRZ
"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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCQ9i9yJEq
"What....? it's not like that, I didn't say yes to him..." I muttered in denial.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJBMcU5yAt
"Really? So you.... said No. to him?" He looked surprised with slightly sparkling eyes.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuIHGlmRjW
"Um..w-why? Do I have another choice?" I said raising an eyebrow at him.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCkY60Lvrt
"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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wmArIAsAJ
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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImgOpOQ8RF
All of this confused me.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybR1BTvSrs
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVKHuJMr02
"Hisss....you've come to your own conclusion..." I muttered under my breath a little annoyed.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9F7Fhzplq
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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyqM005F2d
"Hm okay, the point is.... tonight you still go with me right?" he asked with slightly sparkling eyes.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv52UrNpQb
I nodded slowly.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWBdWSxXyY
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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O3aokgSoh
"Yaaah, don't be arrogant... i'm just doing my job..." I said glaring softly.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MCiyaIwYU
Tae smiled.
"I guarantee you won't regret your decision...." he said in a deep voice.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm68qIyu4Dh
his meaningful gaze made me suddenly bit my lip nervously.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmL2Lgq3x1
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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9XtdRE3MO
Without being able to prevent it, he quickly pressed his body and brought his face closer to mine.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wshqThF4W
"Umm? uh.... t-tae...." I stuttered as I pushed my back against the wall.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmsTT4hwDQ
"Mm?" He mumbled quietly, staring at my lips.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hXK1ZfHqF
Damn, I can't go anywhere else.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotmcRY6u1B
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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmkZPuVs2z
Oh, No.... what should I do?
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8HfkhDjs1
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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2onyQRasK0
muuah!
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeQpza2lsf
"Hmmfff...." Tae was surprised to find the cold surface of the can suddenly stuck to his lips, stopping his movement towards me suddenly.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyPvlJfYYr
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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJvEPHHB33
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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDIC6ttdep
"Come on, shall we start?" i asked while grin nervously, trying to distract tae who is still looking at me
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HmuFJ0XKe
Tae snorted softly then lazily walked over to the canvas.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucjwxtXpw6
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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmVlojQPNC
He prepared everything without saying a word, apparently he was still annoyed with my attitude that suddenly thrust the cold can to his face.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TZXsiwcgO
It was so cute tho to see his sulky face, it made me smile quitely.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxwcxQBBs8
"Ok, ready? I will start painting.." he said glanced at me who nodded quickly.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOf1BRLXJz
"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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgOj7AvMAo
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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaKbH0YkO4
"Yaaah.... don't move much..." he hissed in protest at me.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT9Sa7JUp2
I suddenly stopped and rolled my eyes at him.
Iish, fun killer! I grumbled in my heart.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDfWxvQASM
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.

348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0laml6Vm8z
"Wait? What's this??" I shrieked softly at the painting in front of me.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4rAhlEyrB
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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4fXrpf9aE
"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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ1PBVrwrN
Tae laughed out loud seeing the expression on my face which might look weird
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8YG2PfP8G
"I call this the VANTE style....my own style." He grins widely
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gyMjSOfxh
"Oh... some kind of abstract style, hm?" I said trying hard to understand.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb880Ub1g7G
"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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT19qo3fHj
He must be kidding.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVhBn263aE
I grimaced softly, still couldn’t understand his randomness
"So you're saying we both look like twins, huh?"
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc1Ornh4hN
Tae laughed loudly then put his two canvases on the floor and stepped closer to me.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcGlZuhydm
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKTd73Vguv
"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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3yfzbZB4H
I was stunned to hear the answer.
Makes me realize something
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYHjoJYlb7
"Wait, if that So....
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1Kawn2OnH
You don't really need a model for your painting?" I furrowed my brows spontaneously
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWkPUF9aQF
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkZK9ZRcQ9
Tae chuckled softly as he brought his handsome face closer. He then cupped my face with both of his palms, surprising me.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULyUQvm5Ww
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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ00iMrCC9B
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNZmD5byJX
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuGfGP6cCD
"You should have known, Lily Byeol....... I'll do anything to keep you close to me..."
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiA5TXC3tr

348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJXJpX6IZ3
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemNMc8PQZg
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuhXOZUHiR
The triumphant smile on his face instantly left me speechless.
