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

363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv4KWvBMtq
Suddenly my phone rang in my hand, cutting off the intense view of jk
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFzUVeb8dH
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ECmtZoVPu
Ah, tae....!
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5UBkw04mY
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV39dAFFtXK
"Yeah...." I mumbled slowly picking up the phone
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M43Uin6Ho
"Well, why is it taking so long? Didn’t you find the room?" Tae asked with a sulky tone.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0cbTmqJsz
"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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fweUr0gOH
"Is that, Tae-hyung?" Jk suddenly asked
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAmDjbVO92
I nodded slowly at him.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0U4yTVO0y
"Lily? Who are you talking to?" Tae asked on the other side of the phone.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVbQrc6fSe
I think it’s because jk was standing so close to me so Tae could hear his voice too
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7UKL6xVqs
"Oh ... I’m talking to jeykey ..." I answered briefly.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbG4adyjB6
Jk suddenly stuck out his fingers and took the phone from my ear without me being able to prevent it.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT9U4d5bei
"Hi hyung, will lily be off duty tonight as your assistant?" Jk asked suddenly, it took me by surprise
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHUOtcf9x7
Tae's voice is faintly heard on the other side
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPnMTbaYsy
"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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mv2HoQLvK
Oh my gosh, jeykey?? Why did he tell Tae?
I haven't said that I agree to go with him
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiJ0jxFyCg
"... she can’t ? Why..??" Jk suddenly hissed in disappointment.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWljQyoZjw
I raised my eyebrows, trying to guess the words Tae said.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1xPDJIYxO
"Fine..." jk muttered with a frown on his face then handed the phone back to my hand.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxaeOAJcJT
I sighed quietly, did not understand what was going on.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ228iFMPTrB
"Yes..." I mumbled softly, returning with the phone on my ear
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst06GYhwNX
"The paints, lily..... I want to paint immediately.." Tae said in a tone that sounded flat
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDvhm2DWDF
"Ok.." I answered simply. Before I could speak again, Tae had hung up the phone.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0VWTKzxe0
He sounded annoyed.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R6Syomw9d
“Tae-hyung said you should accompany him to the chun family residence tonight?” Jk asked with a bent face
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wL91oht7b
I nodded slowly
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqq1g2zMw6
"Sorry jeykey... I have no other choice..." I said biting my lip slowly
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenMWOy58Kq
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylYF1t2fkJ
I smile while nodding
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y51Svpfe5
"Now I have to hurry upstairs...." I said
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw2z3RzGKz
"Let me help you .." he offered, carrying a pile of newspapers.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfce0HTudJ
We both finally left the storage room and headed to Tae's room.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97F2LJPSa1
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsBz6sZZdO
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
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOptOUGXk0
"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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfdz7yi3XR
"Hey, hyung..... about tonight..." jk opens his mouth
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya8IHc68nr
"No, you can't..." Tae shook his head quickly.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt2YiuBWVh
"But..."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SZF1gSc1U
"Bye, Jeykey..." Tae said quickly then closed the bedroom door in front of Jk's surprised face.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr4G5jGcS6
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkghDKVgLA
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6Pn440psQ
"Mmph..." I was surprised when I realized that I was stopped because my back hit the surface of the cupboard.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCUJEUjAx7
Tae leans closer and closes the distance between the two of us, making me squeez the paint cans even tighter in my arms.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg83UKbfFW
"You took so long..." he mumbled, sounding annoyed. He pursed his red lips at me.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFNVQ3HHLJ
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcELb7g8eH
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjaBU4Dok2
"Hmm?" I'm confused what to answer
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJrzUj8FIF
"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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuZII4xaTF
"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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ333vgK2NpK
"What....? it's not like that, I didn't say yes to him..." I muttered in denial.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoufGYYV66Q
"Really? So you.... said No. to him?" He looked surprised with slightly sparkling eyes.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBz3p5Ff8y
"Um..w-why? Do I have another choice?" I said raising an eyebrow at him.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6xHILGzlJ
"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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkBcgcWTh9
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmIlpvibtb
All of this confused me.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDVMOm1JoQ
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmOSiq1dtf
"Hisss....you've come to your own conclusion..." I muttered under my breath a little annoyed.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOlCCdjRbO
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDphv1agiDZ
"Hm okay, the point is.... tonight you still go with me right?" he asked with slightly sparkling eyes.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTdvt2nNmZ
I nodded slowly.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq9Bu66GzJ
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvxgL30kFU
"Yaaah, don't be arrogant... i'm just doing my job..." I said glaring softly.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzx8FBundw
Tae smiled.
"I guarantee you won't regret your decision...." he said in a deep voice.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNclRJiMVI
his meaningful gaze made me suddenly bit my lip nervously.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeh9k6arZJ
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSypkQ14mP
Without being able to prevent it, he quickly pressed his body and brought his face closer to mine.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ksj4xpWcc
"Umm? uh.... t-tae...." I stuttered as I pushed my back against the wall.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IanyyNjVM
"Mm?" He mumbled quietly, staring at my lips.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyJuYY3ltb
Damn, I can't go anywhere else.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmv2473L4F
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCANkbeNma
Oh, No.... what should I do?
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT8khdIAav
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVTvT4lGJD
muuah!
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmTZnCAkrJ
"Hmmfff...." Tae was surprised to find the cold surface of the can suddenly stuck to his lips, stopping his movement towards me suddenly.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ37ztsxUf
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv5fwOsIpo
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf3I0xDniy
"Come on, shall we start?" i asked while grin nervously, trying to distract tae who is still looking at me
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta5Hg4RysO
Tae snorted softly then lazily walked over to the canvas.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb4VTGjqyl
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxwT3i0FPV
He prepared everything without saying a word, apparently he was still annoyed with my attitude that suddenly thrust the cold can to his face.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgeQbk2xaR
It was so cute tho to see his sulky face, it made me smile quitely.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOt7tPPyjo
"Ok, ready? I will start painting.." he said glanced at me who nodded quickly.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu6XTADZCn
"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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPytYN7o2P
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWKaVLuf6S
"Yaaah.... don't move much..." he hissed in protest at me.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO6nZnz9Xf
I suddenly stopped and rolled my eyes at him.
Iish, fun killer! I grumbled in my heart.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQiZnEBHaw
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.

363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAmBk30dQ8
"Wait? What's this??" I shrieked softly at the painting in front of me.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGwvT4vnv2
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaHuC1hEbe
"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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXPhcu8Jgi
Tae laughed out loud seeing the expression on my face which might look weird
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6LEGtqCOj
"I call this the VANTE style....my own style." He grins widely
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlZWysPy7D
"Oh... some kind of abstract style, hm?" I said trying hard to understand.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7LcSf13GH
"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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iWpMhL98b
He must be kidding.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegxeX61ByD
I grimaced softly, still couldn’t understand his randomness
"So you're saying we both look like twins, huh?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejO8OnrDD1
Tae laughed loudly then put his two canvases on the floor and stepped closer to me.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRhMAaJ5Gr
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgapKNdm3X7
"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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvZFxvCovB
I was stunned to hear the answer.
Makes me realize something
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAUbB7ohRi
"Wait, if that So....
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLMlex3Tw1
You don't really need a model for your painting?" I furrowed my brows spontaneously
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIXSvhAATE
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1pgkjwN9I
Tae chuckled softly as he brought his handsome face closer. He then cupped my face with both of his palms, surprising me.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuvNdBDHSj
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFbv6KRiW1
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc0jNRpHrM
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62nTjW3z8k
"You should have known, Lily Byeol....... I'll do anything to keep you close to me..."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpNjhWZVHo

363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZGfab16lO
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT2MufeUiF
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UraAFYvqv
The triumphant smile on his face instantly left me speechless.
