The question took me by surprise.. my tongue suddenly went numb and I seemed to be at a loss for words

327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpd37uWalm
Suddenly my phone rang in my hand, cutting off the intense view of jk
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijq1UPsqM8
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv85Lux8A9
Ah, tae....!
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDuUA5WJAx
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwrLpxx6ZY
"Yeah...." I mumbled slowly picking up the phone
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDzS2y8kHa
"Well, why is it taking so long? Didn’t you find the room?" Tae asked with a sulky tone.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNLQKWUS6R
"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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaXJfQp1rY
"Is that, Tae-hyung?" Jk suddenly asked
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf52F1BjRR
I nodded slowly at him.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvE9zXK8sy
"Lily? Who are you talking to?" Tae asked on the other side of the phone.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkoPOVktcz
I think it’s because jk was standing so close to me so Tae could hear his voice too
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkodEhZm8WJ
"Oh ... I’m talking to jeykey ..." I answered briefly.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TP6smDKu6
Jk suddenly stuck out his fingers and took the phone from my ear without me being able to prevent it.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeSNBZ7Vmw
"Hi hyung, will lily be off duty tonight as your assistant?" Jk asked suddenly, it took me by surprise
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwRw3LmADo
Tae's voice is faintly heard on the other side
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahJtdnf65p
"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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlEgFSPRWt
Oh my gosh, jeykey?? Why did he tell Tae?
I haven't said that I agree to go with him
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQLbwJiqiD
"... she can’t ? Why..??" Jk suddenly hissed in disappointment.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TERCC8vy6
I raised my eyebrows, trying to guess the words Tae said.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSEeaGHPrG
"Fine..." jk muttered with a frown on his face then handed the phone back to my hand.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumL7dZonJG
I sighed quietly, did not understand what was going on.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpCevNapsx
"Yes..." I mumbled softly, returning with the phone on my ear
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIHn5Ti8De
"The paints, lily..... I want to paint immediately.." Tae said in a tone that sounded flat
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfp0bwnu7j
"Ok.." I answered simply. Before I could speak again, Tae had hung up the phone.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OgIFwxQnc
He sounded annoyed.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr1CyQCVV6
“Tae-hyung said you should accompany him to the chun family residence tonight?” Jk asked with a bent face
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcUbIzGW39
I nodded slowly
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIsxaMsfs6
"Sorry jeykey... I have no other choice..." I said biting my lip slowly
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZf8DgQ6bS
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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMJwgzqWwC
I smile while nodding
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw94rPdPZy
"Now I have to hurry upstairs...." I said
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5H46DbyrC
"Let me help you .." he offered, carrying a pile of newspapers.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsOy0OnXOO
We both finally left the storage room and headed to Tae's room.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEfYRtzwbW
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYILtfCXtp
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
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo4up1QHmX
"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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3KfRQoGxT
"Hey, hyung..... about tonight..." jk opens his mouth
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPkbf5Tjox
"No, you can't..." Tae shook his head quickly.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KyuUqzFRo
"But..."
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88ZVH8nd1u
"Bye, Jeykey..." Tae said quickly then closed the bedroom door in front of Jk's surprised face.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7udrm3CGqr
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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12HQy1i7tJ
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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0HztoVXCF
"Mmph..." I was surprised when I realized that I was stopped because my back hit the surface of the cupboard.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFgSRrHvfc
Tae leans closer and closes the distance between the two of us, making me squeez the paint cans even tighter in my arms.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmlkZKdzDv
"You took so long..." he mumbled, sounding annoyed. He pursed his red lips at me.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LJVUDma0V
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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGuPOWLKq1
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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHy1K3qk1H
"Hmm?" I'm confused what to answer
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmVAgdzGgR
"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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0nTco4olf
"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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BjOwfedET
"What....? it's not like that, I didn't say yes to him..." I muttered in denial.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntpKyrRgNt
"Really? So you.... said No. to him?" He looked surprised with slightly sparkling eyes.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AlV2RZCMg
"Um..w-why? Do I have another choice?" I said raising an eyebrow at him.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQYB2lmBSK
"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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezuFrrNt37
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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAR8LXcUAB
All of this confused me.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7yNLH3YIZ
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LpFVasVGt
"Hisss....you've come to your own conclusion..." I muttered under my breath a little annoyed.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uKTwKQf3u
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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpYjszyZnY
"Hm okay, the point is.... tonight you still go with me right?" he asked with slightly sparkling eyes.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPb5dCjYtw
I nodded slowly.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxBavXkc3g
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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynAY4bUfhd
"Yaaah, don't be arrogant... i'm just doing my job..." I said glaring softly.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0cwgS1egi
Tae smiled.
"I guarantee you won't regret your decision...." he said in a deep voice.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4242XnCVqQ
his meaningful gaze made me suddenly bit my lip nervously.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7tgoPyf48
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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qK9lWKtSV
Without being able to prevent it, he quickly pressed his body and brought his face closer to mine.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTJOHV3gt2
"Umm? uh.... t-tae...." I stuttered as I pushed my back against the wall.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVmvVcciQj
"Mm?" He mumbled quietly, staring at my lips.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1DYct0nkY
Damn, I can't go anywhere else.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwQDxR9RD1
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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ024bc7TUjZ
Oh, No.... what should I do?
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1fZcwzxx3
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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWS68OLYuo
muuah!
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4aVJhAYBC
"Hmmfff...." Tae was surprised to find the cold surface of the can suddenly stuck to his lips, stopping his movement towards me suddenly.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5MgwD1IVO
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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg8Adaa4aD
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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZc78CZ806
"Come on, shall we start?" i asked while grin nervously, trying to distract tae who is still looking at me
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PbxsrJIQq
Tae snorted softly then lazily walked over to the canvas.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbuQ6szOgw
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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVdw33SewD
He prepared everything without saying a word, apparently he was still annoyed with my attitude that suddenly thrust the cold can to his face.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwJliDROrU
It was so cute tho to see his sulky face, it made me smile quitely.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0KBhWrQTQ
"Ok, ready? I will start painting.." he said glanced at me who nodded quickly.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxRtCVX04F
"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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLQ8YNOogr
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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mMhCMY6y4
"Yaaah.... don't move much..." he hissed in protest at me.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzNLpZBtEG
I suddenly stopped and rolled my eyes at him.
Iish, fun killer! I grumbled in my heart.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fG4I0eIgs
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.

327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBliWuMzZA
"Wait? What's this??" I shrieked softly at the painting in front of me.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lxCvVVzgL
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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJHGpehVNK
"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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY9YOdJIBK
Tae laughed out loud seeing the expression on my face which might look weird
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm2JJdGeOm
"I call this the VANTE style....my own style." He grins widely
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJZqueZZEq
"Oh... some kind of abstract style, hm?" I said trying hard to understand.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoxlSH6HTk
"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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CCtMXBNO2
He must be kidding.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCtyB6Jht6
I grimaced softly, still couldn’t understand his randomness
"So you're saying we both look like twins, huh?"
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrgAYWWXY7
Tae laughed loudly then put his two canvases on the floor and stepped closer to me.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQYYmx4djy
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrLkrNQOGz
"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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO8J6P9cWW
I was stunned to hear the answer.
Makes me realize something
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMqNmaVTL4
"Wait, if that So....
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7zMt5Ptgs
You don't really need a model for your painting?" I furrowed my brows spontaneously
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cqWMOY0eu
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoToZNqbbJ4
Tae chuckled softly as he brought his handsome face closer. He then cupped my face with both of his palms, surprising me.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLQy6XfUFn
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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9oV1yaY9g
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95uGqeTuaH
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGfIUWtCAZ
"You should have known, Lily Byeol....... I'll do anything to keep you close to me..."

327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN1t5EQEN2
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7oWHQHsBq
The triumphant smile on his face instantly left me speechless.
