"Can i....um....treat you dinner....tonight?" Jk said as he looked me in the eye.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7vfqc5kkV
The question took me by surprise.. my tongue suddenly went numb and I seemed to be at a loss for words

293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bh3RrBly2
Suddenly my phone rang in my hand, cutting off the intense view of jk
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7c3X9dnR8
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMtDwMl1aO
Ah, tae....!
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU0o3oysBU
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWf68hUuaq
"Yeah...." I mumbled slowly picking up the phone
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyDo1lnFeE
"Well, why is it taking so long? Didn’t you find the room?" Tae asked with a sulky tone.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrqeHWjzrW
"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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R0AuQSN2Z
"Is that, Tae-hyung?" Jk suddenly asked
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbiJTHW0lp
I nodded slowly at him.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRquOMvxUSy
"Lily? Who are you talking to?" Tae asked on the other side of the phone.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tqGte3qDc
I think it’s because jk was standing so close to me so Tae could hear his voice too
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fl3WKHXJU
"Oh ... I’m talking to jeykey ..." I answered briefly.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kRXLEPv9c
Jk suddenly stuck out his fingers and took the phone from my ear without me being able to prevent it.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJItLjd6Wp1
"Hi hyung, will lily be off duty tonight as your assistant?" Jk asked suddenly, it took me by surprise
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4EortfOVy
Tae's voice is faintly heard on the other side
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoQjjcUQJr
"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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcRW9ddIvS
Oh my gosh, jeykey?? Why did he tell Tae?
I haven't said that I agree to go with him
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYetGhOFEhg
"... she can’t ? Why..??" Jk suddenly hissed in disappointment.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU77q9vBiFW
I raised my eyebrows, trying to guess the words Tae said.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3llGwsp13a
"Fine..." jk muttered with a frown on his face then handed the phone back to my hand.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDEgpG0Ci1
I sighed quietly, did not understand what was going on.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3gayIUoFr
"Yes..." I mumbled softly, returning with the phone on my ear
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA0hKZb8l4
"The paints, lily..... I want to paint immediately.." Tae said in a tone that sounded flat
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgWvE8ji3v
"Ok.." I answered simply. Before I could speak again, Tae had hung up the phone.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwehhzbRwR9
He sounded annoyed.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAE1eddeQL
“Tae-hyung said you should accompany him to the chun family residence tonight?” Jk asked with a bent face
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCBkM1AS52
I nodded slowly
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjzx5Rlk9Q
"Sorry jeykey... I have no other choice..." I said biting my lip slowly
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAFxq4TxeG
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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y2S5Jt84S
I smile while nodding
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9JaZ734Uv
"Now I have to hurry upstairs...." I said
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97LgowZY7E
"Let me help you .." he offered, carrying a pile of newspapers.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kdIWE7ac9
We both finally left the storage room and headed to Tae's room.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq34axdrIv
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfKJBoF9vQ
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
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAFemRMOOb
"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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEr5tKNpQ7
"Hey, hyung..... about tonight..." jk opens his mouth
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg1llzQZWd
"No, you can't..." Tae shook his head quickly.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZr2pamxhf
"But..."
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2eEhTffCA
"Bye, Jeykey..." Tae said quickly then closed the bedroom door in front of Jk's surprised face.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbI7Zgg5Ae
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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOvaHAXq8b
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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb68W7VjBu
"Mmph..." I was surprised when I realized that I was stopped because my back hit the surface of the cupboard.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOPTTLKZx6
Tae leans closer and closes the distance between the two of us, making me squeez the paint cans even tighter in my arms.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs0UMc0kKQ
"You took so long..." he mumbled, sounding annoyed. He pursed his red lips at me.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTEZpBWaqh
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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBAi3Jqwhc
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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vexjNNYUj
"Hmm?" I'm confused what to answer
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPecFM7hja
"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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraIMLPsaZN
"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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ7yBqhRit
"What....? it's not like that, I didn't say yes to him..." I muttered in denial.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7AiiTXHwg
"Really? So you.... said No. to him?" He looked surprised with slightly sparkling eyes.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ADvIR7cn4
"Um..w-why? Do I have another choice?" I said raising an eyebrow at him.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPt3YRFJmP
"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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzvZrkx1Gj
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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpitR5yG06R
All of this confused me.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41fMLCm9an
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwbHJwOJVv
"Hisss....you've come to your own conclusion..." I muttered under my breath a little annoyed.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiApq5qKTu
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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oTLheIfWB
"Hm okay, the point is.... tonight you still go with me right?" he asked with slightly sparkling eyes.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIPZslXQqP
I nodded slowly.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3KdCAfC8Y
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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDCO6AblB8
"Yaaah, don't be arrogant... i'm just doing my job..." I said glaring softly.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIV9bBc7hl
Tae smiled.
"I guarantee you won't regret your decision...." he said in a deep voice.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahlWHlia1c
his meaningful gaze made me suddenly bit my lip nervously.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSgb8PF5SG
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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiC1Slxxyd
Without being able to prevent it, he quickly pressed his body and brought his face closer to mine.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa59eSj6RFx
"Umm? uh.... t-tae...." I stuttered as I pushed my back against the wall.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckKJt0Z9I1
"Mm?" He mumbled quietly, staring at my lips.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLO6FmsNXQ
Damn, I can't go anywhere else.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqqxwN1bKK
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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2l0lnfBdU
Oh, No.... what should I do?
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj22WUDohv
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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TbTx6XV6F
muuah!
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU6Q8hqjwY
"Hmmfff...." Tae was surprised to find the cold surface of the can suddenly stuck to his lips, stopping his movement towards me suddenly.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9bzEY4uNv
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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgFm6VS1QL
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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0UCKth86v
"Come on, shall we start?" i asked while grin nervously, trying to distract tae who is still looking at me
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm37mJoFyaR
Tae snorted softly then lazily walked over to the canvas.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgHNtJnBhW
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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5EIUjkk9G
He prepared everything without saying a word, apparently he was still annoyed with my attitude that suddenly thrust the cold can to his face.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8bQJh26ca
It was so cute tho to see his sulky face, it made me smile quitely.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrHk8Z2oSW
"Ok, ready? I will start painting.." he said glanced at me who nodded quickly.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoQ9RveAKt
"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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNKLnUDzd8
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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4yh2eUSRm
"Yaaah.... don't move much..." he hissed in protest at me.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkoD0mHm3F
I suddenly stopped and rolled my eyes at him.
Iish, fun killer! I grumbled in my heart.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpkJ8dhklP
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.

293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s1i9BeUP9
"Wait? What's this??" I shrieked softly at the painting in front of me.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuiQK7FArW
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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ9LmURpDj
"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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBPWQY4n4u
Tae laughed out loud seeing the expression on my face which might look weird
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V6uk06qvS
"I call this the VANTE style....my own style." He grins widely
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0bWr7zzLG
"Oh... some kind of abstract style, hm?" I said trying hard to understand.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZPSf6D9je
"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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7zMcbGsg3
He must be kidding.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aY26NnMKF
I grimaced softly, still couldn’t understand his randomness
"So you're saying we both look like twins, huh?"
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI2DX6XY4l
Tae laughed loudly then put his two canvases on the floor and stepped closer to me.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU3OcUJTtG
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX0teRNT8R
"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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK4lEb8Tvg
I was stunned to hear the answer.
Makes me realize something
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3bYB953h3
"Wait, if that So....
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmir2Dbaubn
You don't really need a model for your painting?" I furrowed my brows spontaneously
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQTBU2S2sJ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdflN6FV52
Tae chuckled softly as he brought his handsome face closer. He then cupped my face with both of his palms, surprising me.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbGVNrn92T
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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhocqYOLL5c
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9F6DR0lHw
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhQUXTMYX1
"You should have known, Lily Byeol....... I'll do anything to keep you close to me..."

293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoQuiO88ne
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFX1D243Lk
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ7B57w990
The triumphant smile on his face instantly left me speechless.
