"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

297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZK8thJqWC
Suddenly my phone rang in my hand, cutting off the intense view of jk
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd82xsQgsP0
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNM1awxkWm
Ah, tae....!
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo8Dy3GfcH
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2ngTLdOJu
"Yeah...." I mumbled slowly picking up the phone
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m25EI3qEd
"Well, why is it taking so long? Didn’t you find the room?" Tae asked with a sulky tone.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpedX2SvEw9
"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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3JsywOU2j
"Is that, Tae-hyung?" Jk suddenly asked
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx51TskKY7
I nodded slowly at him.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSfi2ADrVM
"Lily? Who are you talking to?" Tae asked on the other side of the phone.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqw6L05ZMy
I think it’s because jk was standing so close to me so Tae could hear his voice too
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQjFs2pS1L
"Oh ... I’m talking to jeykey ..." I answered briefly.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQEiKhOzpi
Jk suddenly stuck out his fingers and took the phone from my ear without me being able to prevent it.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv24XtsBPa
"Hi hyung, will lily be off duty tonight as your assistant?" Jk asked suddenly, it took me by surprise
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQdDOqtG5B
Tae's voice is faintly heard on the other side
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3OZz12jlI
"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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYztFJctsa
Oh my gosh, jeykey?? Why did he tell Tae?
I haven't said that I agree to go with him
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRw12rVBIu
"... she can’t ? Why..??" Jk suddenly hissed in disappointment.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPfhOBJq8x
I raised my eyebrows, trying to guess the words Tae said.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRXDcMh2K7
"Fine..." jk muttered with a frown on his face then handed the phone back to my hand.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGdKaeQz9r
I sighed quietly, did not understand what was going on.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPvtjvee9H
"Yes..." I mumbled softly, returning with the phone on my ear
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28PwINyZDr
"The paints, lily..... I want to paint immediately.." Tae said in a tone that sounded flat
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVG2r51OGF
"Ok.." I answered simply. Before I could speak again, Tae had hung up the phone.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7FnJT9662
He sounded annoyed.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz4R0LeeBS
“Tae-hyung said you should accompany him to the chun family residence tonight?” Jk asked with a bent face
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQrf8CWyHa
I nodded slowly
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6fdlc0sG9
"Sorry jeykey... I have no other choice..." I said biting my lip slowly
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTxLzkY9wW
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv63L7iopDc
I smile while nodding
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd0OjzaLvs
"Now I have to hurry upstairs...." I said
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9Dvx5g37O
"Let me help you .." he offered, carrying a pile of newspapers.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOfCBOBX9T
We both finally left the storage room and headed to Tae's room.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUTaF1liWb
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qFnwTAya8
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
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb70t2jNcv
"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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtiBmF5p0H
"Hey, hyung..... about tonight..." jk opens his mouth
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RHYbyOIeA
"No, you can't..." Tae shook his head quickly.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDXKfEYXmC
"But..."
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5biXrDBPK
"Bye, Jeykey..." Tae said quickly then closed the bedroom door in front of Jk's surprised face.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoam1VUfjRh
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf4dzfvNSd
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KZwiwLD9H
"Mmph..." I was surprised when I realized that I was stopped because my back hit the surface of the cupboard.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEy1swdaZk
Tae leans closer and closes the distance between the two of us, making me squeez the paint cans even tighter in my arms.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECka1Qkde4
"You took so long..." he mumbled, sounding annoyed. He pursed his red lips at me.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjBqDoO0j8
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7nTdR0eRk
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVkVobjNzB
"Hmm?" I'm confused what to answer
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu0vSz20Bm
"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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ09cf26H2q
"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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8hQlkItrv
"What....? it's not like that, I didn't say yes to him..." I muttered in denial.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZYJT32y6o
"Really? So you.... said No. to him?" He looked surprised with slightly sparkling eyes.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dCwt2QZFb
"Um..w-why? Do I have another choice?" I said raising an eyebrow at him.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehsa7bdun7
"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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa65H2Ztvry
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNymgGv5fxv
All of this confused me.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElk2gGVJAT
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6jA5KzQN0
"Hisss....you've come to your own conclusion..." I muttered under my breath a little annoyed.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHIRUYJcXN
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAHd81QmXk
"Hm okay, the point is.... tonight you still go with me right?" he asked with slightly sparkling eyes.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHzZRgUAsb
I nodded slowly.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw2jYzieAS
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXKWkdyhkE
"Yaaah, don't be arrogant... i'm just doing my job..." I said glaring softly.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkY1LwcnqV
Tae smiled.
"I guarantee you won't regret your decision...." he said in a deep voice.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJTMtMVkJK
his meaningful gaze made me suddenly bit my lip nervously.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtqMcTWmnz
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuNpo9MzEi
Without being able to prevent it, he quickly pressed his body and brought his face closer to mine.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThxUHDKBH4
"Umm? uh.... t-tae...." I stuttered as I pushed my back against the wall.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW6OZITUq1
"Mm?" He mumbled quietly, staring at my lips.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CcMqMA1pZ
Damn, I can't go anywhere else.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5kJkO99lq
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS2nCOhQzr
Oh, No.... what should I do?
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcqdex5I3n
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaspafPfJvK
muuah!
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XwV3PyNkW
"Hmmfff...." Tae was surprised to find the cold surface of the can suddenly stuck to his lips, stopping his movement towards me suddenly.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdiEneFuL2
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4AQEHCfEc
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKSyC2jXqU
"Come on, shall we start?" i asked while grin nervously, trying to distract tae who is still looking at me
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxEuVXitnk
Tae snorted softly then lazily walked over to the canvas.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVewyCh3iS
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWaFb9PJUd
He prepared everything without saying a word, apparently he was still annoyed with my attitude that suddenly thrust the cold can to his face.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gzhmN8bfk
It was so cute tho to see his sulky face, it made me smile quitely.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7UVDHAdk5
"Ok, ready? I will start painting.." he said glanced at me who nodded quickly.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSPjzJh6zJ
"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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzpdPqI9dR
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWrC2yWUod
"Yaaah.... don't move much..." he hissed in protest at me.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1J1aXAngp
I suddenly stopped and rolled my eyes at him.
Iish, fun killer! I grumbled in my heart.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOyw4H6LUB
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.

297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWsfdReBei
"Wait? What's this??" I shrieked softly at the painting in front of me.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEzOANHzJC
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPQRBhpQAS
"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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPEprEoicH
Tae laughed out loud seeing the expression on my face which might look weird
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRq72Kq6kt
"I call this the VANTE style....my own style." He grins widely
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX2S0iLVRt
"Oh... some kind of abstract style, hm?" I said trying hard to understand.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtQozdF48Q
"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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiTgXa07kc
He must be kidding.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwwMO3A3Mc
I grimaced softly, still couldn’t understand his randomness
"So you're saying we both look like twins, huh?"
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxCGNs0QAX
Tae laughed loudly then put his two canvases on the floor and stepped closer to me.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgZVEUYPmL
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn8qjw05AC
"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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNV1fFFrwp
I was stunned to hear the answer.
Makes me realize something
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYuKkoUHxf
"Wait, if that So....
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUEtAefeFQ
You don't really need a model for your painting?" I furrowed my brows spontaneously
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIoTVI0Je4
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik8BnI8dOA
Tae chuckled softly as he brought his handsome face closer. He then cupped my face with both of his palms, surprising me.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGXSpNGF6s
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAXZDvN1q8
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxvBrS6e6l
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY3I7DOhKe
"You should have known, Lily Byeol....... I'll do anything to keep you close to me..."

297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7ajosYM1O
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd3RxXl4VB
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDW2M5iIMl
The triumphant smile on his face instantly left me speechless.
