460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoWfVYTJux
Suddenly my phone rang in my hand, cutting off the intense view of jk
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dXBImyfen
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWhqUqpc34
Ah, tae....!
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWpS6s6iCt
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQJTEKsEWZ
"Yeah...." I mumbled slowly picking up the phone
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0qo3IhJhE
"Well, why is it taking so long? Didn’t you find the room?" Tae asked with a sulky tone.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr4lMJN8C1
"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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZJUyRImrO
"Is that, Tae-hyung?" Jk suddenly asked
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIwxOEmFZH
I nodded slowly at him.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLInnqrmSXI
"Lily? Who are you talking to?" Tae asked on the other side of the phone.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rE9q4bJCY
I think it’s because jk was standing so close to me so Tae could hear his voice too
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie7iX5ijgO
"Oh ... I’m talking to jeykey ..." I answered briefly.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRylHpfrIus
Jk suddenly stuck out his fingers and took the phone from my ear without me being able to prevent it.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmHPoCCmsb
"Hi hyung, will lily be off duty tonight as your assistant?" Jk asked suddenly, it took me by surprise
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg1gHvMszM
Tae's voice is faintly heard on the other side
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzDB87KPE4
"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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5bBVTsQg1
Oh my gosh, jeykey?? Why did he tell Tae?
I haven't said that I agree to go with him
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoRrmnrxGd
"... she can’t ? Why..??" Jk suddenly hissed in disappointment.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegHT4zgnc7
I raised my eyebrows, trying to guess the words Tae said.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXwYY2DU5x
"Fine..." jk muttered with a frown on his face then handed the phone back to my hand.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm3vYM5j04
I sighed quietly, did not understand what was going on.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgs43TSHIS
"Yes..." I mumbled softly, returning with the phone on my ear
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LVtGGGK4Q
"The paints, lily..... I want to paint immediately.." Tae said in a tone that sounded flat
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnFZRyUnPX
"Ok.." I answered simply. Before I could speak again, Tae had hung up the phone.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrXjGemtYB
He sounded annoyed.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YOIgxfFRj
“Tae-hyung said you should accompany him to the chun family residence tonight?” Jk asked with a bent face
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5Ak07CwDM
I nodded slowly
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU1tDLcHc5
"Sorry jeykey... I have no other choice..." I said biting my lip slowly
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvZ1J9i81w
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2LVfQ6Fs9
I smile while nodding
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxbKlzgQb2
"Now I have to hurry upstairs...." I said
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDxa6VWja8
"Let me help you .." he offered, carrying a pile of newspapers.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYN8MaWJ0I
We both finally left the storage room and headed to Tae's room.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClWikpyhjC
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvIWaMWmM2
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
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyNrRgBKYf
"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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2WKxjCIol
"Hey, hyung..... about tonight..." jk opens his mouth
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDR3L0ezVc
"No, you can't..." Tae shook his head quickly.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg8cKbF88E
"But..."
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRtmdTf6ax
"Bye, Jeykey..." Tae said quickly then closed the bedroom door in front of Jk's surprised face.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu6ESmBxIQ
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvbA1dCNTd
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzWJnw0Txu
"Mmph..." I was surprised when I realized that I was stopped because my back hit the surface of the cupboard.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhIMCi0znA
Tae leans closer and closes the distance between the two of us, making me squeez the paint cans even tighter in my arms.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNHAely6xF
"You took so long..." he mumbled, sounding annoyed. He pursed his red lips at me.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4cq59iCSt
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TAWn3bkqV
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9ggBHVMzl
"Hmm?" I'm confused what to answer
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX38sZsy7Mo
"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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9Vi3fDOXY
"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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfas1wtsFX0
"What....? it's not like that, I didn't say yes to him..." I muttered in denial.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvKMnSIrN1
"Really? So you.... said No. to him?" He looked surprised with slightly sparkling eyes.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJd78Yldpz
"Um..w-why? Do I have another choice?" I said raising an eyebrow at him.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2py3Lr0Ow
"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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVGQnsrOq2
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU49DhhQph7
All of this confused me.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziFHtzowvL
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYJDYHosrL
"Hisss....you've come to your own conclusion..." I muttered under my breath a little annoyed.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkZ1Cr0IWV
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZdItqWQbC
"Hm okay, the point is.... tonight you still go with me right?" he asked with slightly sparkling eyes.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1QwUmrURW
I nodded slowly.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3IswwYlZo
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4liln6l5c
"Yaaah, don't be arrogant... i'm just doing my job..." I said glaring softly.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1Ug8wSjpg
Tae smiled.
"I guarantee you won't regret your decision...." he said in a deep voice.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93kzwRdsXj
his meaningful gaze made me suddenly bit my lip nervously.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5KX2YaUQM
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgDTLjafP1
Without being able to prevent it, he quickly pressed his body and brought his face closer to mine.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrAut02Pme
"Umm? uh.... t-tae...." I stuttered as I pushed my back against the wall.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvF175EM3M
"Mm?" He mumbled quietly, staring at my lips.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wW8oDfbtz
Damn, I can't go anywhere else.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfzWP1dnlW
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBQMnM44gN
Oh, No.... what should I do?
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0IMTEHXdU
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX9LQoyIj9
muuah!
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxgRm21yPI
"Hmmfff...." Tae was surprised to find the cold surface of the can suddenly stuck to his lips, stopping his movement towards me suddenly.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRkJBeywSc
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe76vbKaOl
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DGfFszHtM
"Come on, shall we start?" i asked while grin nervously, trying to distract tae who is still looking at me
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgmPaLKMSs
Tae snorted softly then lazily walked over to the canvas.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJbnF5Xbgg
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAG0oPyNUC
He prepared everything without saying a word, apparently he was still annoyed with my attitude that suddenly thrust the cold can to his face.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFTLqPQr6Z
It was so cute tho to see his sulky face, it made me smile quitely.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAfUsOWhC3
"Ok, ready? I will start painting.." he said glanced at me who nodded quickly.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyYPik3PmZ
"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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFFWDiJD2a
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH6B1euJiO
"Yaaah.... don't move much..." he hissed in protest at me.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlAjVzicRR
I suddenly stopped and rolled my eyes at him.
Iish, fun killer! I grumbled in my heart.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4aLlKJfS0
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.

460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1baWV9Y06V
"Wait? What's this??" I shrieked softly at the painting in front of me.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseNtPbgSB8
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox14lOMy7j
"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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJD3tEVrAQ
Tae laughed out loud seeing the expression on my face which might look weird
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYgZYC3Dnh
"I call this the VANTE style....my own style." He grins widely
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWN7WzcS9J
"Oh... some kind of abstract style, hm?" I said trying hard to understand.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajM4q3fwhL
"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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYTWrAglVB
He must be kidding.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOahiA2cTP
I grimaced softly, still couldn’t understand his randomness
"So you're saying we both look like twins, huh?"
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfImwJoyypW
Tae laughed loudly then put his two canvases on the floor and stepped closer to me.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1pxXFFzzZ
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe1Cmu6lLW
"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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnLMzQbj00
I was stunned to hear the answer.
Makes me realize something
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg6Co3xn0C
"Wait, if that So....
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdORRty85H
You don't really need a model for your painting?" I furrowed my brows spontaneously
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscu1FDBs89
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SeU0e9WJd
Tae chuckled softly as he brought his handsome face closer. He then cupped my face with both of his palms, surprising me.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOY12tPFfs
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGJENZXNPM
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXxPfOw6bc
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyP7m4gw5R
"You should have known, Lily Byeol....... I'll do anything to keep you close to me..."

460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nnsqVROdW
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreBqCooh5d
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmK568d6Wo
The triumphant smile on his face instantly left me speechless.
