365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSi1x9NzWE
Suddenly my phone rang in my hand, cutting off the intense view of jk
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1bCWtLmtG
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2EzNn5TuL
Ah, tae....!
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRyv5pZSoR
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQQSr5DDN6
"Yeah...." I mumbled slowly picking up the phone
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiTmwRLyua
"Well, why is it taking so long? Didn’t you find the room?" Tae asked with a sulky tone.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5VNHjtGtJ
"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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0srUvq0dt
"Is that, Tae-hyung?" Jk suddenly asked
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHtju3L8dI
I nodded slowly at him.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTWyWU9os1
"Lily? Who are you talking to?" Tae asked on the other side of the phone.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4fWTBOiDQ
I think it’s because jk was standing so close to me so Tae could hear his voice too
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx94z5A72ov
"Oh ... I’m talking to jeykey ..." I answered briefly.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrI5UJOnN9
Jk suddenly stuck out his fingers and took the phone from my ear without me being able to prevent it.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7Jo6VJaDP
"Hi hyung, will lily be off duty tonight as your assistant?" Jk asked suddenly, it took me by surprise
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxShmUBWyWU
Tae's voice is faintly heard on the other side
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPve2y241T
"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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvVUmCvsQ3
Oh my gosh, jeykey?? Why did he tell Tae?
I haven't said that I agree to go with him
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCVfcWKObF
"... she can’t ? Why..??" Jk suddenly hissed in disappointment.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV2eAPwbRt
I raised my eyebrows, trying to guess the words Tae said.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRCkYFnAXb
"Fine..." jk muttered with a frown on his face then handed the phone back to my hand.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wupkz5GSY
I sighed quietly, did not understand what was going on.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjszkgWGpj
"Yes..." I mumbled softly, returning with the phone on my ear
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB2gtbygmS
"The paints, lily..... I want to paint immediately.." Tae said in a tone that sounded flat
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabQT9u8frm
"Ok.." I answered simply. Before I could speak again, Tae had hung up the phone.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8jEUVxtws
He sounded annoyed.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP8IEu92Yg
“Tae-hyung said you should accompany him to the chun family residence tonight?” Jk asked with a bent face
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnewDQxbmIu
I nodded slowly
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnSVn23ILF
"Sorry jeykey... I have no other choice..." I said biting my lip slowly
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLGvIt4g9U
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oF2ODvr6w
I smile while nodding
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUzuaUek3K
"Now I have to hurry upstairs...." I said
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDorPiR1AUw
"Let me help you .." he offered, carrying a pile of newspapers.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8iIdWuSQC
We both finally left the storage room and headed to Tae's room.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc9iaOUgdX
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy4vEy32vg
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
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxXBOpADS7
"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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIO7HAdN03
"Hey, hyung..... about tonight..." jk opens his mouth
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI1GffEOPd
"No, you can't..." Tae shook his head quickly.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBUpYQNdLs
"But..."
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmb2uq2rns
"Bye, Jeykey..." Tae said quickly then closed the bedroom door in front of Jk's surprised face.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tkcsR5vwq
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYtddYPkG9
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00PYyrRuS9
"Mmph..." I was surprised when I realized that I was stopped because my back hit the surface of the cupboard.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT0YwsBdDk
Tae leans closer and closes the distance between the two of us, making me squeez the paint cans even tighter in my arms.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkBeGluDK5
"You took so long..." he mumbled, sounding annoyed. He pursed his red lips at me.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbnf7m7zwY
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xPGicx3Ta
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt7hdbnEv2
"Hmm?" I'm confused what to answer
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXN5JdtTCC
"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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Zin8zauxL
"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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsK8vRVpIV
"What....? it's not like that, I didn't say yes to him..." I muttered in denial.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrrVJIjFiV
"Really? So you.... said No. to him?" He looked surprised with slightly sparkling eyes.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdmGYz5tYa
"Um..w-why? Do I have another choice?" I said raising an eyebrow at him.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqZjU7AyAT
"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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjDZO9RxMJ
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7TxRz3An0
All of this confused me.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHv2uYwSEV
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJn2KqknHt
"Hisss....you've come to your own conclusion..." I muttered under my breath a little annoyed.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ShVkh1HR6
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSae2BE4EbY
"Hm okay, the point is.... tonight you still go with me right?" he asked with slightly sparkling eyes.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFJc7iVFb6
I nodded slowly.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYZKz9m3Sr
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGrlWSaeKm
"Yaaah, don't be arrogant... i'm just doing my job..." I said glaring softly.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8MPggWtZ7
Tae smiled.
"I guarantee you won't regret your decision...." he said in a deep voice.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VuvuGjP6M
his meaningful gaze made me suddenly bit my lip nervously.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKAGBmDZos
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuRFCDhO4Y
Without being able to prevent it, he quickly pressed his body and brought his face closer to mine.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVitERB8qd
"Umm? uh.... t-tae...." I stuttered as I pushed my back against the wall.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ouVS9EU7v
"Mm?" He mumbled quietly, staring at my lips.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKDIeEMpiC
Damn, I can't go anywhere else.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCM42EPS9C
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44eekuGeo9
Oh, No.... what should I do?
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoBX7Aztiy
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAFT1isjDB
muuah!
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzbD1qsq2t
"Hmmfff...." Tae was surprised to find the cold surface of the can suddenly stuck to his lips, stopping his movement towards me suddenly.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYafEH46dhK
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ely5FgMBZ
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8AlAKOLTv
"Come on, shall we start?" i asked while grin nervously, trying to distract tae who is still looking at me
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwMwuM1Xmd
Tae snorted softly then lazily walked over to the canvas.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3iMd7OVDp
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUVKLc9CsY
He prepared everything without saying a word, apparently he was still annoyed with my attitude that suddenly thrust the cold can to his face.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupN1gH7gxN
It was so cute tho to see his sulky face, it made me smile quitely.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmhYcelTFU
"Ok, ready? I will start painting.." he said glanced at me who nodded quickly.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dUSOHLIkR
"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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCptdxMXtPX
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVYv4T3jee
"Yaaah.... don't move much..." he hissed in protest at me.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qSx0lah7W
I suddenly stopped and rolled my eyes at him.
Iish, fun killer! I grumbled in my heart.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIV0rib3fS
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.

365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpF4uU1HPw
"Wait? What's this??" I shrieked softly at the painting in front of me.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTr3v0tPlA
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRZIj9eOsX
"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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N9QI3ijyM
Tae laughed out loud seeing the expression on my face which might look weird
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgKjZ22Oep
"I call this the VANTE style....my own style." He grins widely
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN74ClMceGV
"Oh... some kind of abstract style, hm?" I said trying hard to understand.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4dm9brX2y
"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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmK5bN8Pd2d
He must be kidding.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vQHC3vi5T
I grimaced softly, still couldn’t understand his randomness
"So you're saying we both look like twins, huh?"
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTlbn8d9RQ
Tae laughed loudly then put his two canvases on the floor and stepped closer to me.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhhXV4kY09
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNfmBbShzB
"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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvg5t69StO
I was stunned to hear the answer.
Makes me realize something
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHl0dG8I9T
"Wait, if that So....
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEe2v8C89k
You don't really need a model for your painting?" I furrowed my brows spontaneously
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiJEk4fuKV
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8I3Y2Q99L
Tae chuckled softly as he brought his handsome face closer. He then cupped my face with both of his palms, surprising me.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX47pXUcKZ6
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwWgdTGdPe
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa8HNz9KIA
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0if6Kz8kZ
"You should have known, Lily Byeol....... I'll do anything to keep you close to me..."

365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vqW2yUX2X
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcSo87ilWw
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcRUuCiGuo
The triumphant smile on his face instantly left me speechless.
