"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

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0CZm96Jge
Suddenly my phone rang in my hand, cutting off the intense view of jk
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqN8YJ6c3G
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H4cMsu61o
Ah, tae....!
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZbUoWE6hJ
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqoEj1bQvP
"Yeah...." I mumbled slowly picking up the phone
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngJlYpxNjb
"Well, why is it taking so long? Didn’t you find the room?" Tae asked with a sulky tone.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfHGwq0QzT
"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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5kZkC2Un9
"Is that, Tae-hyung?" Jk suddenly asked
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfrNsHasj3
I nodded slowly at him.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLltYlRrPtX
"Lily? Who are you talking to?" Tae asked on the other side of the phone.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jBPhcDHbG
I think it’s because jk was standing so close to me so Tae could hear his voice too
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyhkgFK9DS
"Oh ... I’m talking to jeykey ..." I answered briefly.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO0Y1VqN4n
Jk suddenly stuck out his fingers and took the phone from my ear without me being able to prevent it.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZlbS4FIoa
"Hi hyung, will lily be off duty tonight as your assistant?" Jk asked suddenly, it took me by surprise
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbNatsy79e
Tae's voice is faintly heard on the other side
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfaijAzj3L
"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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSvYhOiq2E
Oh my gosh, jeykey?? Why did he tell Tae?
I haven't said that I agree to go with him
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD25ZmhOUOO
"... she can’t ? Why..??" Jk suddenly hissed in disappointment.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7wjCM3Fdm
I raised my eyebrows, trying to guess the words Tae said.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzg8Z3Nh3r
"Fine..." jk muttered with a frown on his face then handed the phone back to my hand.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sRnzcLnpH
I sighed quietly, did not understand what was going on.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2CzedOy7l
"Yes..." I mumbled softly, returning with the phone on my ear
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOsL6lflG3
"The paints, lily..... I want to paint immediately.." Tae said in a tone that sounded flat
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrq7zoiRby
"Ok.." I answered simply. Before I could speak again, Tae had hung up the phone.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvvyX3FsTO
He sounded annoyed.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4JZLqoicH
“Tae-hyung said you should accompany him to the chun family residence tonight?” Jk asked with a bent face
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xR8d3aSm3
I nodded slowly
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGsOL9zqr3
"Sorry jeykey... I have no other choice..." I said biting my lip slowly
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pNyGXLp6L
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6Ocj3jcE7
I smile while nodding
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBI3u1t2kp
"Now I have to hurry upstairs...." I said
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE924hXDOOg
"Let me help you .." he offered, carrying a pile of newspapers.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJiP0Y3kQe
We both finally left the storage room and headed to Tae's room.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQnd4wlYP9
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ygFvguVdg
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
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38ZyW9bUcL
"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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABm5ujesQ2
"Hey, hyung..... about tonight..." jk opens his mouth
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bZ9y3CUMG
"No, you can't..." Tae shook his head quickly.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsKuZOTsYQ
"But..."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymXtVCfajE
"Bye, Jeykey..." Tae said quickly then closed the bedroom door in front of Jk's surprised face.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9180u52UU
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj6K2AIWfi
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg7hxMhX0l
"Mmph..." I was surprised when I realized that I was stopped because my back hit the surface of the cupboard.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU7lOreNez
Tae leans closer and closes the distance between the two of us, making me squeez the paint cans even tighter in my arms.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbq84xcE5Z
"You took so long..." he mumbled, sounding annoyed. He pursed his red lips at me.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKsn9PyWXd
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuaMLit3yV
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYHuMUfveU
"Hmm?" I'm confused what to answer
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulzOfpcgcr
"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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMBjusUzlS
"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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AX6xefgZd
"What....? it's not like that, I didn't say yes to him..." I muttered in denial.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa5jlncTJN
"Really? So you.... said No. to him?" He looked surprised with slightly sparkling eyes.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsgRcV8IaV
"Um..w-why? Do I have another choice?" I said raising an eyebrow at him.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3XMKfpqjC
"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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01uNPKs8m7
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhueEvp2ExR
All of this confused me.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPurv14wf8
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6qaOdB8rt
"Hisss....you've come to your own conclusion..." I muttered under my breath a little annoyed.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5Asl7hY86
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkZCSLyTXk
"Hm okay, the point is.... tonight you still go with me right?" he asked with slightly sparkling eyes.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9FZuO6ezB
I nodded slowly.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmpe3LaG42
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzSyM0mriC
"Yaaah, don't be arrogant... i'm just doing my job..." I said glaring softly.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL8QZwQSjS
Tae smiled.
"I guarantee you won't regret your decision...." he said in a deep voice.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu84R3Gw2O
his meaningful gaze made me suddenly bit my lip nervously.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6skijgrsym
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9a4hfOg9m
Without being able to prevent it, he quickly pressed his body and brought his face closer to mine.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32CVGekbwB
"Umm? uh.... t-tae...." I stuttered as I pushed my back against the wall.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBYYGo13n7
"Mm?" He mumbled quietly, staring at my lips.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhoNXQbyhh
Damn, I can't go anywhere else.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IXA25vaKu
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf41haaoxfd
Oh, No.... what should I do?
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGNzHnPyc2
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq1XtTM4uC
muuah!
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFysStFKvrz
"Hmmfff...." Tae was surprised to find the cold surface of the can suddenly stuck to his lips, stopping his movement towards me suddenly.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfZciJO7u0
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1oBstqkjr
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmph6Ky1W8
"Come on, shall we start?" i asked while grin nervously, trying to distract tae who is still looking at me
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3FMf2S052
Tae snorted softly then lazily walked over to the canvas.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeicLG5So06
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nEg0mE0vS
He prepared everything without saying a word, apparently he was still annoyed with my attitude that suddenly thrust the cold can to his face.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVvbe1PrnD
It was so cute tho to see his sulky face, it made me smile quitely.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMdI9mGAnm
"Ok, ready? I will start painting.." he said glanced at me who nodded quickly.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7XWOkKzlh
"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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHaRdMvXdP
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp0tQ9I70S
"Yaaah.... don't move much..." he hissed in protest at me.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyn53vV8tb
I suddenly stopped and rolled my eyes at him.
Iish, fun killer! I grumbled in my heart.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN7tTaO13t
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.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMucQ69f0WG
"Wait? What's this??" I shrieked softly at the painting in front of me.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDy8GwJ3aZ
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75DlxwThy5
"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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac7WvDPkSn
Tae laughed out loud seeing the expression on my face which might look weird
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt8658PcgI
"I call this the VANTE style....my own style." He grins widely
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm7uRFn4gh
"Oh... some kind of abstract style, hm?" I said trying hard to understand.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjhLIelRah
"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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Am77BRQmD
He must be kidding.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bOXCYy43t
I grimaced softly, still couldn’t understand his randomness
"So you're saying we both look like twins, huh?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4EE2jTmaC
Tae laughed loudly then put his two canvases on the floor and stepped closer to me.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV0ceFCtbY
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj6KfxE7n7
"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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRvMLTPgeX
I was stunned to hear the answer.
Makes me realize something
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SV62Xoch4
"Wait, if that So....
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIG1ZWoE8N
You don't really need a model for your painting?" I furrowed my brows spontaneously
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNruwMRYSDw
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlyLZDOigU
Tae chuckled softly as he brought his handsome face closer. He then cupped my face with both of his palms, surprising me.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3Q3rFFjmy
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwo21d2aBL
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJm8uGhUkV
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkwbx1TZXa
"You should have known, Lily Byeol....... I'll do anything to keep you close to me..."

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu4bc7okr1
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZOOEmEGKm
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYDNTG2WCj
The triumphant smile on his face instantly left me speechless.
