295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4pgY5uUQ4
Suddenly my phone rang in my hand, cutting off the intense view of jk
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4SWtEvgBQ
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiA5XumvtH
Ah, tae....!
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhdXbAkHoJ
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK84BOsRihs
"Yeah...." I mumbled slowly picking up the phone
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdpuUdoPYB
"Well, why is it taking so long? Didn’t you find the room?" Tae asked with a sulky tone.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7VarPZdBl
"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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T7dJWahWm
"Is that, Tae-hyung?" Jk suddenly asked
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X23Momvgd
I nodded slowly at him.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKQuYyCqxj
"Lily? Who are you talking to?" Tae asked on the other side of the phone.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFZB0zBhoR
I think it’s because jk was standing so close to me so Tae could hear his voice too
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IXLSINWUQ
"Oh ... I’m talking to jeykey ..." I answered briefly.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Xzyr3nRI1
Jk suddenly stuck out his fingers and took the phone from my ear without me being able to prevent it.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iGPqzyHNC
"Hi hyung, will lily be off duty tonight as your assistant?" Jk asked suddenly, it took me by surprise
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiNHlBEGb4
Tae's voice is faintly heard on the other side
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGw8X8O5k7
"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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3mpRjoGyt
Oh my gosh, jeykey?? Why did he tell Tae?
I haven't said that I agree to go with him
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6HfSYNGwa
"... she can’t ? Why..??" Jk suddenly hissed in disappointment.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHj2e4MpII
I raised my eyebrows, trying to guess the words Tae said.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOui2u2LxJF
"Fine..." jk muttered with a frown on his face then handed the phone back to my hand.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq9NIaRdeE
I sighed quietly, did not understand what was going on.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI74g1X9Bii
"Yes..." I mumbled softly, returning with the phone on my ear
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvAWunC3jc
"The paints, lily..... I want to paint immediately.." Tae said in a tone that sounded flat
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgk9iTufm4
"Ok.." I answered simply. Before I could speak again, Tae had hung up the phone.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYHcPORALz
He sounded annoyed.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMEdYOk7J7
“Tae-hyung said you should accompany him to the chun family residence tonight?” Jk asked with a bent face
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7RfmpVcrX
I nodded slowly
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyBFLauZm2
"Sorry jeykey... I have no other choice..." I said biting my lip slowly
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIRTYajcur
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSsCZmmORE
I smile while nodding
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxEC73UMbq
"Now I have to hurry upstairs...." I said
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIvvjZOnvQ
"Let me help you .." he offered, carrying a pile of newspapers.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xifXAIlxK
We both finally left the storage room and headed to Tae's room.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFirp7V999
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdXSQa8d3P
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
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDoWkXF9gq
"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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbGFwkwsyg
"Hey, hyung..... about tonight..." jk opens his mouth
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZPqxQ1oLf
"No, you can't..." Tae shook his head quickly.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6vsg3qOgW
"But..."
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRJkpAT9N4
"Bye, Jeykey..." Tae said quickly then closed the bedroom door in front of Jk's surprised face.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXOTOdJWR4
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hqZvvyWz7
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxGo1UhXUQ
"Mmph..." I was surprised when I realized that I was stopped because my back hit the surface of the cupboard.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGbyEN0ude
Tae leans closer and closes the distance between the two of us, making me squeez the paint cans even tighter in my arms.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeldB1Jf6Np
"You took so long..." he mumbled, sounding annoyed. He pursed his red lips at me.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSP3alRzFW
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9WKRCP82m
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWIvfGfW9n
"Hmm?" I'm confused what to answer
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJJRdIuDb0
"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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhXMs7kSzC
"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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfth48zrip
"What....? it's not like that, I didn't say yes to him..." I muttered in denial.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxRftBpYSk
"Really? So you.... said No. to him?" He looked surprised with slightly sparkling eyes.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2FSpUmfDF
"Um..w-why? Do I have another choice?" I said raising an eyebrow at him.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4qpvVu1Zy
"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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXauWaK7cOP
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSUdyAWRA2
All of this confused me.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvcJZcHIDB
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R7kLndiPd
"Hisss....you've come to your own conclusion..." I muttered under my breath a little annoyed.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPTIXzFHZ5
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctP0YMCzu7
"Hm okay, the point is.... tonight you still go with me right?" he asked with slightly sparkling eyes.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjpOOwacPV
I nodded slowly.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKyq1AEXBf
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaGLeCfFPI
"Yaaah, don't be arrogant... i'm just doing my job..." I said glaring softly.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDXq2as13Y
Tae smiled.
"I guarantee you won't regret your decision...." he said in a deep voice.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ePfFlk9Z9
his meaningful gaze made me suddenly bit my lip nervously.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMs5La4cFO
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nCjW8A3OG
Without being able to prevent it, he quickly pressed his body and brought his face closer to mine.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OZ7VLPi1q
"Umm? uh.... t-tae...." I stuttered as I pushed my back against the wall.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrQHo3JfPT
"Mm?" He mumbled quietly, staring at my lips.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6WrWEoQ5n
Damn, I can't go anywhere else.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjheEsqK5r
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH2ANkmrPk
Oh, No.... what should I do?
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvymkgOcLQ
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6ewxpcsGF
muuah!
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLSjmURSTq
"Hmmfff...." Tae was surprised to find the cold surface of the can suddenly stuck to his lips, stopping his movement towards me suddenly.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAJfl8RqwI
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUVKToVNJv
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtf45a1Ouz
"Come on, shall we start?" i asked while grin nervously, trying to distract tae who is still looking at me
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgGaZLMsc8
Tae snorted softly then lazily walked over to the canvas.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0O08yXLCY
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwoWDSCljh
He prepared everything without saying a word, apparently he was still annoyed with my attitude that suddenly thrust the cold can to his face.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGg9dyJ3pz
It was so cute tho to see his sulky face, it made me smile quitely.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtu4CYkNH8
"Ok, ready? I will start painting.." he said glanced at me who nodded quickly.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGO70ThUAs
"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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm93YFZ3cr5
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76HoHUqgeH
"Yaaah.... don't move much..." he hissed in protest at me.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmkhwOzTvi
I suddenly stopped and rolled my eyes at him.
Iish, fun killer! I grumbled in my heart.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3YzeQpfgd
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.

295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Dof8hLBuP
"Wait? What's this??" I shrieked softly at the painting in front of me.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbjI031BqA
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj4V7An75D
"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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGdJFCVXIV
Tae laughed out loud seeing the expression on my face which might look weird
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqBfl8aNey
"I call this the VANTE style....my own style." He grins widely
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVfdutflll
"Oh... some kind of abstract style, hm?" I said trying hard to understand.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM2lEI5tso
"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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt2FJWtZhP
He must be kidding.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo225ojYqP7
I grimaced softly, still couldn’t understand his randomness
"So you're saying we both look like twins, huh?"
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFpOrHvLHA
Tae laughed loudly then put his two canvases on the floor and stepped closer to me.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkobWscb7YM
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVznnuNEcYa
"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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfqJJ4CLvD
I was stunned to hear the answer.
Makes me realize something
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSA6QWi0Al
"Wait, if that So....
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Kg0NQeZgq
You don't really need a model for your painting?" I furrowed my brows spontaneously
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4qfh8P7He
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ncd9rai8V
Tae chuckled softly as he brought his handsome face closer. He then cupped my face with both of his palms, surprising me.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkgNKHvZkx
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttLTZLoEmr
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb7LLUi61V
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y4Db6b2sY
"You should have known, Lily Byeol....... I'll do anything to keep you close to me..."

295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVO9MFFwav
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniuKQWcraG
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wKKjfj6vQ
The triumphant smile on his face instantly left me speechless.
