"Can i....um....treat you dinner....tonight?" Jk said as he looked me in the eye.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzvFUxldRx
The question took me by surprise.. my tongue suddenly went numb and I seemed to be at a loss for words

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ijrwOTCDh
Suddenly my phone rang in my hand, cutting off the intense view of jk
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz07hpjkbl8
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs1HX1gr44
Ah, tae....!
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc2EKrowfV
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS6SlYxzIn
"Yeah...." I mumbled slowly picking up the phone
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQCLFJXAbA
"Well, why is it taking so long? Didn’t you find the room?" Tae asked with a sulky tone.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd03trAT1d
"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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcIHAVnef1
"Is that, Tae-hyung?" Jk suddenly asked
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlERPK3Ko09
I nodded slowly at him.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceCOotjFLF
"Lily? Who are you talking to?" Tae asked on the other side of the phone.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSsMoV5vPy
I think it’s because jk was standing so close to me so Tae could hear his voice too
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IElu8vkKe
"Oh ... I’m talking to jeykey ..." I answered briefly.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7002DgePj
Jk suddenly stuck out his fingers and took the phone from my ear without me being able to prevent it.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX1C92JxbR
"Hi hyung, will lily be off duty tonight as your assistant?" Jk asked suddenly, it took me by surprise
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr14DqVbmOs
Tae's voice is faintly heard on the other side
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuSJrzBBwm
"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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA4BQKbYWk
Oh my gosh, jeykey?? Why did he tell Tae?
I haven't said that I agree to go with him
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HiIt7h8Bd
"... she can’t ? Why..??" Jk suddenly hissed in disappointment.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BhMt70DiQ
I raised my eyebrows, trying to guess the words Tae said.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7ZXZjmz8J
"Fine..." jk muttered with a frown on his face then handed the phone back to my hand.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20swU2BbgB
I sighed quietly, did not understand what was going on.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW5EYC9lXm
"Yes..." I mumbled softly, returning with the phone on my ear
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7yRANbZ2h
"The paints, lily..... I want to paint immediately.." Tae said in a tone that sounded flat
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7qdN5nu8J
"Ok.." I answered simply. Before I could speak again, Tae had hung up the phone.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1ST6zYnSZ
He sounded annoyed.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C5AmkIZAM
“Tae-hyung said you should accompany him to the chun family residence tonight?” Jk asked with a bent face
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsGplxpISE
I nodded slowly
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJyEQiPq6o
"Sorry jeykey... I have no other choice..." I said biting my lip slowly
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC90L81S5zT
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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxtq4Qa7ZW
I smile while nodding
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlBva8PxyH
"Now I have to hurry upstairs...." I said
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXww5zqTci
"Let me help you .." he offered, carrying a pile of newspapers.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF3UCEHzXr
We both finally left the storage room and headed to Tae's room.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV4ZPtVDoK
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1LiVBzHok
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
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJysOrTBav
"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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa1O4iHz5y
"Hey, hyung..... about tonight..." jk opens his mouth
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Itceu7qyT
"No, you can't..." Tae shook his head quickly.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT03rk74w6
"But..."
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjsnurmqII
"Bye, Jeykey..." Tae said quickly then closed the bedroom door in front of Jk's surprised face.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbkNFqlmYS
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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDwqiHcA6B
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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiHszmb9Y6
"Mmph..." I was surprised when I realized that I was stopped because my back hit the surface of the cupboard.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzUyitzCWt
Tae leans closer and closes the distance between the two of us, making me squeez the paint cans even tighter in my arms.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXBXHpCzxh
"You took so long..." he mumbled, sounding annoyed. He pursed his red lips at me.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIChMZ0a4va
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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qqWF0Zt1R
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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvml4UkAIh4
"Hmm?" I'm confused what to answer
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mPdYqXZTO
"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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViPHVjAo1q
"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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3un2ldEF1A
"What....? it's not like that, I didn't say yes to him..." I muttered in denial.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDzNBM6uFX
"Really? So you.... said No. to him?" He looked surprised with slightly sparkling eyes.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42Ccrrj5p0
"Um..w-why? Do I have another choice?" I said raising an eyebrow at him.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgOWTT5QTx
"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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVOdgQNMie
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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjkvOwEGkG
All of this confused me.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBI3IujCqo
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgC3f0K9f3
"Hisss....you've come to your own conclusion..." I muttered under my breath a little annoyed.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3dlji5yUd
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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm9IbliqCm
"Hm okay, the point is.... tonight you still go with me right?" he asked with slightly sparkling eyes.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA9m6lWK5s
I nodded slowly.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsMkJyTbPX
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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig9X5rsgg3
"Yaaah, don't be arrogant... i'm just doing my job..." I said glaring softly.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFirxg5R2K
Tae smiled.
"I guarantee you won't regret your decision...." he said in a deep voice.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKCVmQbFGx
his meaningful gaze made me suddenly bit my lip nervously.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkYDa8lp1G
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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkzffNg7Hi
Without being able to prevent it, he quickly pressed his body and brought his face closer to mine.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV4PxPsAqQ
"Umm? uh.... t-tae...." I stuttered as I pushed my back against the wall.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkeNoTAIMB
"Mm?" He mumbled quietly, staring at my lips.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop8ZptYW7P
Damn, I can't go anywhere else.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZVitX0ROz
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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG5cRBuodW
Oh, No.... what should I do?
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWlLlcs3QA
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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz69iyHm5EV
muuah!
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR58X3Y2Fd
"Hmmfff...." Tae was surprised to find the cold surface of the can suddenly stuck to his lips, stopping his movement towards me suddenly.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD7R7bcc67
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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KWC6h6EfV
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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8mUbFtK8c
"Come on, shall we start?" i asked while grin nervously, trying to distract tae who is still looking at me
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExgwiK7yxw
Tae snorted softly then lazily walked over to the canvas.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCFViBY2FM
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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JYt9ABQOs
He prepared everything without saying a word, apparently he was still annoyed with my attitude that suddenly thrust the cold can to his face.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVwVsrF2Di
It was so cute tho to see his sulky face, it made me smile quitely.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsxldY9CV5
"Ok, ready? I will start painting.." he said glanced at me who nodded quickly.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP20MtIKjD7
"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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIrvK2XNcs
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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRSeg05GaE
"Yaaah.... don't move much..." he hissed in protest at me.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoA8vtYo2d
I suddenly stopped and rolled my eyes at him.
Iish, fun killer! I grumbled in my heart.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c7rlMETDw
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.

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS7GsaXwZJ
"Wait? What's this??" I shrieked softly at the painting in front of me.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDsgGptP73
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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcJjVBtbB4
"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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXR6Lr2VLQ
Tae laughed out loud seeing the expression on my face which might look weird
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4kaS6pVOt
"I call this the VANTE style....my own style." He grins widely
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPplXt4idS
"Oh... some kind of abstract style, hm?" I said trying hard to understand.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCukTljjdYd
"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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoLIsYSKgO
He must be kidding.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWwTSoYGb7
I grimaced softly, still couldn’t understand his randomness
"So you're saying we both look like twins, huh?"
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHFJmCCBvZ
Tae laughed loudly then put his two canvases on the floor and stepped closer to me.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ixhJvyJtw
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8oTFqqIh2
"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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPKlxOtqv2
I was stunned to hear the answer.
Makes me realize something
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fx3W87FDf
"Wait, if that So....
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AYiPF4wUD
You don't really need a model for your painting?" I furrowed my brows spontaneously
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSwPO4xzo4
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHtKOwa3tr
Tae chuckled softly as he brought his handsome face closer. He then cupped my face with both of his palms, surprising me.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFehuGFACX
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.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUKfCUn5x8
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgzNQFzRHv
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNjvXvH8kK
"You should have known, Lily Byeol....... I'll do anything to keep you close to me..."

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mVcBou06t
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawbGEZhko6
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEU54PAWr3b
The triumphant smile on his face instantly left me speechless.
