409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq6ZdWXefE
Suddenly my phone rang in my hand, cutting off the intense view of jk
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89scPeWPaC
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9wONs6Z3y
Ah, tae....!
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtj0MobFEV
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZJsQzaH1x
"Yeah...." I mumbled slowly picking up the phone
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt0TWj2Iia
"Well, why is it taking so long? Didn’t you find the room?" Tae asked with a sulky tone.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zoH3aDxhL
"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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogs0f15ETd
"Is that, Tae-hyung?" Jk suddenly asked
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvnCsDQzwH
I nodded slowly at him.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1zevLPvlc
"Lily? Who are you talking to?" Tae asked on the other side of the phone.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsX6wFDf36
I think it’s because jk was standing so close to me so Tae could hear his voice too
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH0EIk7LdB
"Oh ... I’m talking to jeykey ..." I answered briefly.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGUaswIlQW
Jk suddenly stuck out his fingers and took the phone from my ear without me being able to prevent it.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN5cvvQeax
"Hi hyung, will lily be off duty tonight as your assistant?" Jk asked suddenly, it took me by surprise
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYYNlhyYIA
Tae's voice is faintly heard on the other side
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfpvweKkJP
"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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQU1661nMj
Oh my gosh, jeykey?? Why did he tell Tae?
I haven't said that I agree to go with him
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNpqorVAlw
"... she can’t ? Why..??" Jk suddenly hissed in disappointment.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYjiAAfmPY
I raised my eyebrows, trying to guess the words Tae said.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7dVJWYDHj
"Fine..." jk muttered with a frown on his face then handed the phone back to my hand.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHpiz2GYt4
I sighed quietly, did not understand what was going on.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3elUuggqG
"Yes..." I mumbled softly, returning with the phone on my ear
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKfZLeaIym
"The paints, lily..... I want to paint immediately.." Tae said in a tone that sounded flat
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgITVVpXpc5
"Ok.." I answered simply. Before I could speak again, Tae had hung up the phone.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkltewTb5Zf
He sounded annoyed.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugZuiiBiQU
“Tae-hyung said you should accompany him to the chun family residence tonight?” Jk asked with a bent face
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOERd3TG2B
I nodded slowly
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp2wMJj8WW
"Sorry jeykey... I have no other choice..." I said biting my lip slowly
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnClS7Ckv8
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf4RmZrqUp
I smile while nodding
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen2QJyLAyv
"Now I have to hurry upstairs...." I said
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwAzeDnPp5
"Let me help you .." he offered, carrying a pile of newspapers.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A6SIPp9IS
We both finally left the storage room and headed to Tae's room.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEpwJYTwdf
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPOz3AE6m2
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
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGalc8dg2YZ
"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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi2k91w90y
"Hey, hyung..... about tonight..." jk opens his mouth
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3VUw3uPT4
"No, you can't..." Tae shook his head quickly.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLZKReFSuh
"But..."
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5uZ8K6wgB
"Bye, Jeykey..." Tae said quickly then closed the bedroom door in front of Jk's surprised face.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNsbFKSsol
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL9e8MSV5k
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MYTXLx4Qm
"Mmph..." I was surprised when I realized that I was stopped because my back hit the surface of the cupboard.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jCE81XSKJ
Tae leans closer and closes the distance between the two of us, making me squeez the paint cans even tighter in my arms.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99kI9K43nn
"You took so long..." he mumbled, sounding annoyed. He pursed his red lips at me.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK5kCuX2Qs
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaokqZtSKTV
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYXpHYQua9
"Hmm?" I'm confused what to answer
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36yxdYUAOH
"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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ95SMl9IUd
"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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyEEtccjyv
"What....? it's not like that, I didn't say yes to him..." I muttered in denial.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc7WYxjVUv
"Really? So you.... said No. to him?" He looked surprised with slightly sparkling eyes.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1irQpq0gr
"Um..w-why? Do I have another choice?" I said raising an eyebrow at him.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64CL0bhZj7
"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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR95HYO1iY
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo2NniKNtQ
All of this confused me.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGzRaqAlwu
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04bvaIMDoF
"Hisss....you've come to your own conclusion..." I muttered under my breath a little annoyed.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISO0Y8kL6x
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE6TYbTp2o
"Hm okay, the point is.... tonight you still go with me right?" he asked with slightly sparkling eyes.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs46pOD5D4
I nodded slowly.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08YLWH8fBr
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5Ao4eng8L
"Yaaah, don't be arrogant... i'm just doing my job..." I said glaring softly.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LVafq8g4J
Tae smiled.
"I guarantee you won't regret your decision...." he said in a deep voice.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HUkSWdXZg
his meaningful gaze made me suddenly bit my lip nervously.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH6RJzmaJh
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe3nZVOKZ9
Without being able to prevent it, he quickly pressed his body and brought his face closer to mine.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwOyFNEOiN
"Umm? uh.... t-tae...." I stuttered as I pushed my back against the wall.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZR6S8sBWm
"Mm?" He mumbled quietly, staring at my lips.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzlezz4YXk
Damn, I can't go anywhere else.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q8EHR9iQO
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6KASCrZkQ
Oh, No.... what should I do?
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBdyohjJ2H
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOen9UEFwzm
muuah!
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV196ErBEa
"Hmmfff...." Tae was surprised to find the cold surface of the can suddenly stuck to his lips, stopping his movement towards me suddenly.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh4N82IJwM
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPhleLY80h
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiNXzmR7Sl
"Come on, shall we start?" i asked while grin nervously, trying to distract tae who is still looking at me
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6Pv32D6nL
Tae snorted softly then lazily walked over to the canvas.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDuPbFiU87
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWFINx28NW
He prepared everything without saying a word, apparently he was still annoyed with my attitude that suddenly thrust the cold can to his face.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUZQHU3T1O
It was so cute tho to see his sulky face, it made me smile quitely.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBODfZHNUhg
"Ok, ready? I will start painting.." he said glanced at me who nodded quickly.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5fCSym0zW
"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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbPTPWum1z
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77ItDEaTNO
"Yaaah.... don't move much..." he hissed in protest at me.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2piHMT7Yk
I suddenly stopped and rolled my eyes at him.
Iish, fun killer! I grumbled in my heart.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvJNV4nokb
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.

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhbPSvjjeF
"Wait? What's this??" I shrieked softly at the painting in front of me.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOBXB7Smv5
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTTvYtZnib
"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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyj5JRNMED
Tae laughed out loud seeing the expression on my face which might look weird
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw08ARE08XS
"I call this the VANTE style....my own style." He grins widely
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E9CqXKBb1
"Oh... some kind of abstract style, hm?" I said trying hard to understand.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3wtYRsPXe
"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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz0MUpxJLP
He must be kidding.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7OO9hh33u
I grimaced softly, still couldn’t understand his randomness
"So you're saying we both look like twins, huh?"
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpQZ5wlWpx
Tae laughed loudly then put his two canvases on the floor and stepped closer to me.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Jzp2CoOEv
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vb8g52NMj
"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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmNW2Th0Dp
I was stunned to hear the answer.
Makes me realize something
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewp71wLCxb
"Wait, if that So....
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCi3ZqHAsN
You don't really need a model for your painting?" I furrowed my brows spontaneously
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p3U9EngzM
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh9agAGQgF
Tae chuckled softly as he brought his handsome face closer. He then cupped my face with both of his palms, surprising me.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ8ETwGghA
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfHAMBwFNc
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuQw84CKQq
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyxnIjn9Az
"You should have known, Lily Byeol....... I'll do anything to keep you close to me..."

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DvvFeybSr
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdSc7jApaF
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG7nAc8dhN
The triumphant smile on his face instantly left me speechless.
