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

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9xDfuhE5J
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh1O9vkX9V
Suddenly my phone rang in my hand, cutting off the intense view of jk
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyR5nAe8X0
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDQIzLkqWz
Ah, tae....!
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhCH3pYAOW
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTQkO7NH68
"Yeah...." I mumbled slowly picking up the phone
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C3u1vsFWw
"Well, why is it taking so long? Didn’t you find the room?" Tae asked with a sulky tone.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLjhXwEGF0
"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.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnfie7zLhq
"Is that, Tae-hyung?" Jk suddenly asked
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu3mdreifp
I nodded slowly at him.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxKQ3rHjyA
"Lily? Who are you talking to?" Tae asked on the other side of the phone.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovYMEjzIuw
I think it’s because jk was standing so close to me so Tae could hear his voice too
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDqTZvSUUu
"Oh ... I’m talking to jeykey ..." I answered briefly.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSImfjxwFo
Jk suddenly stuck out his fingers and took the phone from my ear without me being able to prevent it.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM4a1L8Tq8
"Hi hyung, will lily be off duty tonight as your assistant?" Jk asked suddenly, it took me by surprise
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pCsR1AOHU
Tae's voice is faintly heard on the other side
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxehb79eaXm
"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.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYwf0tBcu5
Oh my gosh, jeykey?? Why did he tell Tae?
I haven't said that I agree to go with him
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoYSuWs1ml
"... she can’t ? Why..??" Jk suddenly hissed in disappointment.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48RIquTpic
I raised my eyebrows, trying to guess the words Tae said.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUh1dE8Rkg
"Fine..." jk muttered with a frown on his face then handed the phone back to my hand.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ezNLXoya7
I sighed quietly, did not understand what was going on.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPHi4BBS0j
"Yes..." I mumbled softly, returning with the phone on my ear
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSdwazf2QW
"The paints, lily..... I want to paint immediately.." Tae said in a tone that sounded flat
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK4cpWEzJm
"Ok.." I answered simply. Before I could speak again, Tae had hung up the phone.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr0kVEafxt
He sounded annoyed.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0wBi1Zptc
“Tae-hyung said you should accompany him to the chun family residence tonight?” Jk asked with a bent face
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSQ1T4QOl3
I nodded slowly
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzf5bdFWyq
"Sorry jeykey... I have no other choice..." I said biting my lip slowly
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HZqJiONOi
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.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl9My21QCB
I smile while nodding
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaundYUFOO
"Now I have to hurry upstairs...." I said
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtzBuGcE0k
"Let me help you .." he offered, carrying a pile of newspapers.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jXOrWv6qw
We both finally left the storage room and headed to Tae's room.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6kU8FBZ8z
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NdebXG0IJ
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
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28LkaD51lF
"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.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvnUrtxweS
"Hey, hyung..... about tonight..." jk opens his mouth
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai337D9KPt
"No, you can't..." Tae shook his head quickly.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdd6EkjIBY
"But..."
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CfWpmmKS8
"Bye, Jeykey..." Tae said quickly then closed the bedroom door in front of Jk's surprised face.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti6ETxUHxs
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.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB3K1BfDxi
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.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxuPE7HuJf
"Mmph..." I was surprised when I realized that I was stopped because my back hit the surface of the cupboard.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WlzqF3VPK
Tae leans closer and closes the distance between the two of us, making me squeez the paint cans even tighter in my arms.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKy7rBmqVu
"You took so long..." he mumbled, sounding annoyed. He pursed his red lips at me.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOYOVV3F3F
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.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCsYxH4rce
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.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLPHLMOdHC
"Hmm?" I'm confused what to answer
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cLwZyzGPs
"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.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzp1qj9QAH
"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.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELD9iZWjEd
"What....? it's not like that, I didn't say yes to him..." I muttered in denial.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzKKUCB8l7
"Really? So you.... said No. to him?" He looked surprised with slightly sparkling eyes.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8h6mTgktK
"Um..w-why? Do I have another choice?" I said raising an eyebrow at him.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNkFNvgY09
"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.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAoWXV3hxE
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.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32XDV7UJiz
All of this confused me.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmDSGV2EBD
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5Z3rWz2of
"Hisss....you've come to your own conclusion..." I muttered under my breath a little annoyed.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0s6xbWT42
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.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6kaCEkQnv
"Hm okay, the point is.... tonight you still go with me right?" he asked with slightly sparkling eyes.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhpeePHuYT
I nodded slowly.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJi1mLcJos
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.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEwTgUTiWg
"Yaaah, don't be arrogant... i'm just doing my job..." I said glaring softly.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq0J2MBvfc
Tae smiled.
"I guarantee you won't regret your decision...." he said in a deep voice.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mm2lzTsdQ
his meaningful gaze made me suddenly bit my lip nervously.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78ywzm6XsY
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.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20MaXLWHbw
Without being able to prevent it, he quickly pressed his body and brought his face closer to mine.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJDqpEHhOn
"Umm? uh.... t-tae...." I stuttered as I pushed my back against the wall.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUH04IoKzE
"Mm?" He mumbled quietly, staring at my lips.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27yR8ncVBg
Damn, I can't go anywhere else.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3PJRivAU2
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.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV8Uh5Gve7
Oh, No.... what should I do?
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H5UfCLfNZ
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.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p10AK2fE9
muuah!
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtJhQIAv15
"Hmmfff...." Tae was surprised to find the cold surface of the can suddenly stuck to his lips, stopping his movement towards me suddenly.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrv9oO04JU
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.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZkp6bHkq8
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.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRRIkbtxyW
"Come on, shall we start?" i asked while grin nervously, trying to distract tae who is still looking at me
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoOELqfYsp
Tae snorted softly then lazily walked over to the canvas.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjJDN3yRB2
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.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y5sIiZp5U
He prepared everything without saying a word, apparently he was still annoyed with my attitude that suddenly thrust the cold can to his face.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiKQoT73sk
It was so cute tho to see his sulky face, it made me smile quitely.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hm2bjHAY5
"Ok, ready? I will start painting.." he said glanced at me who nodded quickly.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwRbgQVli7
"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.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtVYWGyeL3
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.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPACSmWTXze
"Yaaah.... don't move much..." he hissed in protest at me.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3Wfv8Ihr0
I suddenly stopped and rolled my eyes at him.
Iish, fun killer! I grumbled in my heart.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1qOTcrtqD
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.

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1sQMqXCVw
"Wait? What's this??" I shrieked softly at the painting in front of me.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTELOhOxBgo
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.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzVzqqdFeO
"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.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGPUhh8VIG
Tae laughed out loud seeing the expression on my face which might look weird
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFJiWw2Vry
"I call this the VANTE style....my own style." He grins widely
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfLaiwnGFd
"Oh... some kind of abstract style, hm?" I said trying hard to understand.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwb3WWNGAB
"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.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIGvr0XjaT
He must be kidding.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GmNG1qTH0
I grimaced softly, still couldn’t understand his randomness
"So you're saying we both look like twins, huh?"
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH3qJAjQp6
Tae laughed loudly then put his two canvases on the floor and stepped closer to me.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fWVdGj2OL
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS9Jd7wXud
"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.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNC0lsbJqX
I was stunned to hear the answer.
Makes me realize something
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L24MA8AKQ
"Wait, if that So....
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D8c84zNJf
You don't really need a model for your painting?" I furrowed my brows spontaneously
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZAitIiyN7
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrtblWAKef
Tae chuckled softly as he brought his handsome face closer. He then cupped my face with both of his palms, surprising me.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zyvcmRHI8
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.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf4AZ9f0RP
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1MqvielV7
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Py6q5pBjF
"You should have known, Lily Byeol....... I'll do anything to keep you close to me..."

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBrLEcsdJ9
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioZsyISXVd
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi1hN0rDdV
The triumphant smile on his face instantly left me speechless.
