"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

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqYLnKIiGE
Suddenly my phone rang in my hand, cutting off the intense view of jk
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwIBc1HrbG
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9KurTvFzr
Ah, tae....!
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRzqYswdfz
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkBF5x3rft
"Yeah...." I mumbled slowly picking up the phone
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbQ8cQZNOP
"Well, why is it taking so long? Didn’t you find the room?" Tae asked with a sulky tone.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0jQGc8f9t
"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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxRRxvwdxE
"Is that, Tae-hyung?" Jk suddenly asked
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlg5Vike57
I nodded slowly at him.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94KBcQLzQv
"Lily? Who are you talking to?" Tae asked on the other side of the phone.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtxXY0Jw78
I think it’s because jk was standing so close to me so Tae could hear his voice too
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSRRePttpT
"Oh ... I’m talking to jeykey ..." I answered briefly.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8VdrzS6Jm
Jk suddenly stuck out his fingers and took the phone from my ear without me being able to prevent it.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEYwgKbvOW
"Hi hyung, will lily be off duty tonight as your assistant?" Jk asked suddenly, it took me by surprise
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfjuKOG5eX
Tae's voice is faintly heard on the other side
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsYvJU0yjE
"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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dmsvIagAo
Oh my gosh, jeykey?? Why did he tell Tae?
I haven't said that I agree to go with him
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC0xmBOkVz
"... she can’t ? Why..??" Jk suddenly hissed in disappointment.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BRRXq1UXC
I raised my eyebrows, trying to guess the words Tae said.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SD7vu31sp
"Fine..." jk muttered with a frown on his face then handed the phone back to my hand.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWrxhlehdD
I sighed quietly, did not understand what was going on.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE48mcBtM9
"Yes..." I mumbled softly, returning with the phone on my ear
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfd8QTkE8E
"The paints, lily..... I want to paint immediately.." Tae said in a tone that sounded flat
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnVz71g7la
"Ok.." I answered simply. Before I could speak again, Tae had hung up the phone.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0S1MJmibN
He sounded annoyed.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ0RWIfu7P
“Tae-hyung said you should accompany him to the chun family residence tonight?” Jk asked with a bent face
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj8UXSBz5I
I nodded slowly
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv71xt4dbF
"Sorry jeykey... I have no other choice..." I said biting my lip slowly
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdUEtJRfkL
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AZgz4eTuO
I smile while nodding
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1QCot61KE
"Now I have to hurry upstairs...." I said
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMw8yNOMaf
"Let me help you .." he offered, carrying a pile of newspapers.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ1QLaImtl
We both finally left the storage room and headed to Tae's room.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7EYs5wibS
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWaWKgXydW
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
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3ahdAx46K
"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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF1K08Ba97
"Hey, hyung..... about tonight..." jk opens his mouth
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjASIwQC6u
"No, you can't..." Tae shook his head quickly.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeHCC62eQa
"But..."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCDIBT3o1N
"Bye, Jeykey..." Tae said quickly then closed the bedroom door in front of Jk's surprised face.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB3sy9uPcy
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl19YfEB5T6
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHXWcbLthY
"Mmph..." I was surprised when I realized that I was stopped because my back hit the surface of the cupboard.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EmmOteUBJ
Tae leans closer and closes the distance between the two of us, making me squeez the paint cans even tighter in my arms.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvcXX51L7f
"You took so long..." he mumbled, sounding annoyed. He pursed his red lips at me.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn5AtIwGX5
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5VSHuuweD
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhDZolXria
"Hmm?" I'm confused what to answer
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYIJHgV5Fm
"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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8WBEnMRIz
"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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytpjQPT1kZ
"What....? it's not like that, I didn't say yes to him..." I muttered in denial.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hI8RujnJ2
"Really? So you.... said No. to him?" He looked surprised with slightly sparkling eyes.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk2ESRbtrI
"Um..w-why? Do I have another choice?" I said raising an eyebrow at him.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0cqPLwY1d
"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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYG93SOXL2
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JZZ44nfzf
All of this confused me.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmyhUl6AOk
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb7e1O7k3c
"Hisss....you've come to your own conclusion..." I muttered under my breath a little annoyed.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKZqiixVbj
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUstGCmIB5z
"Hm okay, the point is.... tonight you still go with me right?" he asked with slightly sparkling eyes.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUW2lhAPbz
I nodded slowly.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYxbnGxX5A
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7TEPT10Pm
"Yaaah, don't be arrogant... i'm just doing my job..." I said glaring softly.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL25CjUnop6
Tae smiled.
"I guarantee you won't regret your decision...." he said in a deep voice.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZvNE4K85i
his meaningful gaze made me suddenly bit my lip nervously.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qENSwGmRB
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8UlKENy9F
Without being able to prevent it, he quickly pressed his body and brought his face closer to mine.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuju6goowd
"Umm? uh.... t-tae...." I stuttered as I pushed my back against the wall.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaqh2B8Q1P
"Mm?" He mumbled quietly, staring at my lips.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOjekLwhmj
Damn, I can't go anywhere else.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bZYAvLTnC
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTWo2szD27
Oh, No.... what should I do?
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ466nft3qZO
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFzOns6dQu
muuah!
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTYys6IEjL
"Hmmfff...." Tae was surprised to find the cold surface of the can suddenly stuck to his lips, stopping his movement towards me suddenly.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5lnht4PVN
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbX0xnV55r
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKcDrSjRg9
"Come on, shall we start?" i asked while grin nervously, trying to distract tae who is still looking at me
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRki79MwyFQ
Tae snorted softly then lazily walked over to the canvas.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr36zK5PuPS
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghuapi7qlF
He prepared everything without saying a word, apparently he was still annoyed with my attitude that suddenly thrust the cold can to his face.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH1NVtRRdr
It was so cute tho to see his sulky face, it made me smile quitely.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8dPj0dMjJ
"Ok, ready? I will start painting.." he said glanced at me who nodded quickly.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCECj5hibS3
"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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA0UDDK9Iq
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bTQC6M9Wc
"Yaaah.... don't move much..." he hissed in protest at me.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiyAIyfECW
I suddenly stopped and rolled my eyes at him.
Iish, fun killer! I grumbled in my heart.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DfQJeBRw2
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.

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JJQLyNX5M
"Wait? What's this??" I shrieked softly at the painting in front of me.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBaAzvo2bP
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yi5gWMyQo
"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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4ylToZ7oV
Tae laughed out loud seeing the expression on my face which might look weird
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7g9f7s2C5
"I call this the VANTE style....my own style." He grins widely
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPeff3hNz6
"Oh... some kind of abstract style, hm?" I said trying hard to understand.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDzwn2Lx9e
"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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbk2ZdL5HM
He must be kidding.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYobQjSa2L
I grimaced softly, still couldn’t understand his randomness
"So you're saying we both look like twins, huh?"
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYhnHumF8O
Tae laughed loudly then put his two canvases on the floor and stepped closer to me.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjMFvCxkpD
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKgBHgcgqo
"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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TeQA6P04i
I was stunned to hear the answer.
Makes me realize something
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7kkW9Tukh
"Wait, if that So....
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl8XSc2Fr4
You don't really need a model for your painting?" I furrowed my brows spontaneously
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57guhuRR0H
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz3VdwBtGr
Tae chuckled softly as he brought his handsome face closer. He then cupped my face with both of his palms, surprising me.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOVf7Bsicg
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVjYp7kb8a
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUm1LvRJrU
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnluYS1ugOU
"You should have known, Lily Byeol....... I'll do anything to keep you close to me..."

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6AGxsleTy
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAmoD2YWBN
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡounPK6qRlC
The triumphant smile on his face instantly left me speechless.
