408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQBhA1uqV0
Suddenly my phone rang in my hand, cutting off the intense view of jk
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd5WRHol7L
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTaSR4DDjg
Ah, tae....!
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU5N6QKnAf
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B18GuqJeR
"Yeah...." I mumbled slowly picking up the phone
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFiM5OEyI7
"Well, why is it taking so long? Didn’t you find the room?" Tae asked with a sulky tone.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJn3oYUn6T
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TpM4ZnLRM
"Is that, Tae-hyung?" Jk suddenly asked
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUAWct6SYu
I nodded slowly at him.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm7GlR3KSI
"Lily? Who are you talking to?" Tae asked on the other side of the phone.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXLAcQmPB8
I think it’s because jk was standing so close to me so Tae could hear his voice too
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO3NEtfMXY
"Oh ... I’m talking to jeykey ..." I answered briefly.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpskwOBo9q3
Jk suddenly stuck out his fingers and took the phone from my ear without me being able to prevent it.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmF0ihQ1AI
"Hi hyung, will lily be off duty tonight as your assistant?" Jk asked suddenly, it took me by surprise
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGv7Eqq42P
Tae's voice is faintly heard on the other side
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUndjaJnGs
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNmcIGJ8PI
Oh my gosh, jeykey?? Why did he tell Tae?
I haven't said that I agree to go with him
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6vTGk3fTF
"... she can’t ? Why..??" Jk suddenly hissed in disappointment.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vMHH4ac0u
I raised my eyebrows, trying to guess the words Tae said.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6WfYIvKh4
"Fine..." jk muttered with a frown on his face then handed the phone back to my hand.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlnBW4DZOB
I sighed quietly, did not understand what was going on.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC44ots5vXq
"Yes..." I mumbled softly, returning with the phone on my ear
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOnPS0G0Hs
"The paints, lily..... I want to paint immediately.." Tae said in a tone that sounded flat
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl6LGYRpkM
"Ok.." I answered simply. Before I could speak again, Tae had hung up the phone.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBtgzCUw3q
He sounded annoyed.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuTHHwryTL
“Tae-hyung said you should accompany him to the chun family residence tonight?” Jk asked with a bent face
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3g8XkrKjv
I nodded slowly
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkPMGN5T6Z
"Sorry jeykey... I have no other choice..." I said biting my lip slowly
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaAXtvTclB
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJj4pFR7J6
I smile while nodding
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRdR2soci4
"Now I have to hurry upstairs...." I said
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4j8yQwSLX
"Let me help you .." he offered, carrying a pile of newspapers.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpRaOtcyp5
We both finally left the storage room and headed to Tae's room.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt9B8bgvIs
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOg3fE2xas
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1y9vowRkv
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS8Upp43vi
"Hey, hyung..... about tonight..." jk opens his mouth
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4T6iBbdJA
"No, you can't..." Tae shook his head quickly.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHB5OYklJA
"But..."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHS2QUtvAh
"Bye, Jeykey..." Tae said quickly then closed the bedroom door in front of Jk's surprised face.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlY1oosPhD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7W7lGJZgS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvThthox55
"Mmph..." I was surprised when I realized that I was stopped because my back hit the surface of the cupboard.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXylnUvsnWS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNcIRB0x4I
"You took so long..." he mumbled, sounding annoyed. He pursed his red lips at me.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEck2AvdFYB
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGr4mVCcLb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5jO9Bl2rr
"Hmm?" I'm confused what to answer
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsTmSVuTFB
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtAOAiP63U
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOKKrjJP7p
"What....? it's not like that, I didn't say yes to him..." I muttered in denial.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3D3RhOr3m
"Really? So you.... said No. to him?" He looked surprised with slightly sparkling eyes.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jvzLFXaGE
"Um..w-why? Do I have another choice?" I said raising an eyebrow at him.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrutXxyKzNT
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ3vzQu8VY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwaaM7NFEn
All of this confused me.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQgMzHYDsx
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ266DO3CSpP
"Hisss....you've come to your own conclusion..." I muttered under my breath a little annoyed.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4Jcz3mMpK
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gIWZUTW5e
"Hm okay, the point is.... tonight you still go with me right?" he asked with slightly sparkling eyes.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7F25KYhi5
I nodded slowly.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kxh6mZX9b
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WTPnsdN2X
"Yaaah, don't be arrogant... i'm just doing my job..." I said glaring softly.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLjWT6qWJi
Tae smiled.
"I guarantee you won't regret your decision...." he said in a deep voice.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMexOVlTYO
his meaningful gaze made me suddenly bit my lip nervously.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlix6AcRNdf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILc8gP6XWz
Without being able to prevent it, he quickly pressed his body and brought his face closer to mine.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllc3Gj2015
"Umm? uh.... t-tae...." I stuttered as I pushed my back against the wall.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLNMejpkni
"Mm?" He mumbled quietly, staring at my lips.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W5lMnniHZ
Damn, I can't go anywhere else.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRHL7Ejj7Q
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF0GVj63or
Oh, No.... what should I do?
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26hsOVh7wA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxKo8Rtxov
muuah!
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcrwvyU1Do
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBETmNwIUV
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH1iHWROCl
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhyi8B22mi
"Come on, shall we start?" i asked while grin nervously, trying to distract tae who is still looking at me
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaw5QAFRND
Tae snorted softly then lazily walked over to the canvas.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeNPnW4rqm
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BCFx5r0yJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTQkhGUVEU
It was so cute tho to see his sulky face, it made me smile quitely.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOuhp71Kdm
"Ok, ready? I will start painting.." he said glanced at me who nodded quickly.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hmBAXhHP4
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokCW3Hcda8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVaPZQHkkf
"Yaaah.... don't move much..." he hissed in protest at me.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfp9wLelDA
I suddenly stopped and rolled my eyes at him.
Iish, fun killer! I grumbled in my heart.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3I1xGLmB2
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqFYBS0KeX
"Wait? What's this??" I shrieked softly at the painting in front of me.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhAf8DBpoZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gZRuxsHxf
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ96kYAdtk
Tae laughed out loud seeing the expression on my face which might look weird
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0LTwtggjU
"I call this the VANTE style....my own style." He grins widely
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkztJLppLa
"Oh... some kind of abstract style, hm?" I said trying hard to understand.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6QpkzCHcO
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVu2fv8dTP
He must be kidding.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYtaQaKKRR
I grimaced softly, still couldn’t understand his randomness
"So you're saying we both look like twins, huh?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Mb9o2fJ8e
Tae laughed loudly then put his two canvases on the floor and stepped closer to me.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUfeRK3GYi
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx6QVBy4Zp
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS1SyhgvAs
I was stunned to hear the answer.
Makes me realize something
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5oAQReWGW
"Wait, if that So....
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu51qG69Z2h
You don't really need a model for your painting?" I furrowed my brows spontaneously
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPXBHpQ9m4
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8MVakIdZf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtScp33qRrU
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEjgSpt7Mc
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rVvMBGxWz
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP8WEc4cEl
"You should have known, Lily Byeol....... I'll do anything to keep you close to me..."

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBaN1TnE4F
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQpIT5g6fk
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuJXfvFm4b
The triumphant smile on his face instantly left me speechless.
