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

301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M266X1CUG
Suddenly my phone rang in my hand, cutting off the intense view of jk
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzjKH1WAWj
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuoPQzyyWT
Ah, tae....!
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP2DNdOcVs
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDxWBKDxPC
"Yeah...." I mumbled slowly picking up the phone
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL7PCibOmt
"Well, why is it taking so long? Didn’t you find the room?" Tae asked with a sulky tone.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSLzSOswCv
"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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpoHEsZKdt
"Is that, Tae-hyung?" Jk suddenly asked
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kUG15sxYO
I nodded slowly at him.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfod0COgZt
"Lily? Who are you talking to?" Tae asked on the other side of the phone.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8APJxScs7
I think it’s because jk was standing so close to me so Tae could hear his voice too
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtOGoSgO4H
"Oh ... I’m talking to jeykey ..." I answered briefly.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOpzhopWB7
Jk suddenly stuck out his fingers and took the phone from my ear without me being able to prevent it.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MOv2O6EJw
"Hi hyung, will lily be off duty tonight as your assistant?" Jk asked suddenly, it took me by surprise
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIb1IydA8O
Tae's voice is faintly heard on the other side
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEhbytqvBZ
"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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOYEliNhAp
Oh my gosh, jeykey?? Why did he tell Tae?
I haven't said that I agree to go with him
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRXms0JWtj
"... she can’t ? Why..??" Jk suddenly hissed in disappointment.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBkj4QNegy
I raised my eyebrows, trying to guess the words Tae said.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77HHmRlt9i
"Fine..." jk muttered with a frown on his face then handed the phone back to my hand.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvygoEBHvxb
I sighed quietly, did not understand what was going on.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8fXWTPeew
"Yes..." I mumbled softly, returning with the phone on my ear
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENRJSknf3q
"The paints, lily..... I want to paint immediately.." Tae said in a tone that sounded flat
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB5178LxPM
"Ok.." I answered simply. Before I could speak again, Tae had hung up the phone.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkqE3q3iV4
He sounded annoyed.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4YoF6MLXf
“Tae-hyung said you should accompany him to the chun family residence tonight?” Jk asked with a bent face
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJZLc6kPC9
I nodded slowly
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyjE5pC5f4
"Sorry jeykey... I have no other choice..." I said biting my lip slowly
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHw90MtzPm
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfF8xk0HCy
I smile while nodding
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys204YkGJ0
"Now I have to hurry upstairs...." I said
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv72m5aPKS
"Let me help you .." he offered, carrying a pile of newspapers.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqQYd2kBBy
We both finally left the storage room and headed to Tae's room.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83WfvLazPL
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldzFOtARn4
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
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfqjhJM2Is
"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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriIXxjIRPl
"Hey, hyung..... about tonight..." jk opens his mouth
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vUUEQ3IQX
"No, you can't..." Tae shook his head quickly.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1XXUuvtUU
"But..."
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvPLNHz5Vv
"Bye, Jeykey..." Tae said quickly then closed the bedroom door in front of Jk's surprised face.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYAmLGrLf9
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8FTuXPZzK
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbyx7JySQU
"Mmph..." I was surprised when I realized that I was stopped because my back hit the surface of the cupboard.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwF0yaMDVE
Tae leans closer and closes the distance between the two of us, making me squeez the paint cans even tighter in my arms.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULq16B7Zzz
"You took so long..." he mumbled, sounding annoyed. He pursed his red lips at me.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDvDC5SzDL
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg89iKacA4u
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZwi3KK1tk
"Hmm?" I'm confused what to answer
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNeJQkiUkh
"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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe2b6SKjNj
"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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoqjcq6qqt
"What....? it's not like that, I didn't say yes to him..." I muttered in denial.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFPA9p1dFv
"Really? So you.... said No. to him?" He looked surprised with slightly sparkling eyes.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviQv9fI3bu
"Um..w-why? Do I have another choice?" I said raising an eyebrow at him.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9kZLM1Uh2
"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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI16CNG0YKa
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eQNnJ5joq
All of this confused me.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi1dVa6K9I
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96gFvA9rtr
"Hisss....you've come to your own conclusion..." I muttered under my breath a little annoyed.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiFY7W2bfR
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJCPSk3emm
"Hm okay, the point is.... tonight you still go with me right?" he asked with slightly sparkling eyes.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAY8aKC9Mt
I nodded slowly.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX3MVVlZUj
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3P2DAkeei
"Yaaah, don't be arrogant... i'm just doing my job..." I said glaring softly.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlsVXp0N0y
Tae smiled.
"I guarantee you won't regret your decision...." he said in a deep voice.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RDXnj1gyn
his meaningful gaze made me suddenly bit my lip nervously.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW82XptJ36
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYyt6cP9NC
Without being able to prevent it, he quickly pressed his body and brought his face closer to mine.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisqWsV83MJ
"Umm? uh.... t-tae...." I stuttered as I pushed my back against the wall.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T6JtOTfzW
"Mm?" He mumbled quietly, staring at my lips.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd6hpp7Mol
Damn, I can't go anywhere else.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS7QRn6C4q
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9qOjwJaAC
Oh, No.... what should I do?
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPDjTz4paw
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBxHHmCnbE
muuah!
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPEmWDGYuO
"Hmmfff...." Tae was surprised to find the cold surface of the can suddenly stuck to his lips, stopping his movement towards me suddenly.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREdtSSS6pk
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkUzx6myxe
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP5GtOgn59
"Come on, shall we start?" i asked while grin nervously, trying to distract tae who is still looking at me
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDvSFMz0wJ
Tae snorted softly then lazily walked over to the canvas.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoVFCo1gJj
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKA2xeHRnK
He prepared everything without saying a word, apparently he was still annoyed with my attitude that suddenly thrust the cold can to his face.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7J3h1qeAg
It was so cute tho to see his sulky face, it made me smile quitely.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc4Z00srLF
"Ok, ready? I will start painting.." he said glanced at me who nodded quickly.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYijUMFqUDu
"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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjbNUAacKG
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3CeNqv0jk
"Yaaah.... don't move much..." he hissed in protest at me.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGVWn4rrJs
I suddenly stopped and rolled my eyes at him.
Iish, fun killer! I grumbled in my heart.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAGAnjiQbj
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.

301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB83hanPFN
"Wait? What's this??" I shrieked softly at the painting in front of me.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhKkZlukVc
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVmXh9Xc6a
"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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCM5ON5kJR
Tae laughed out loud seeing the expression on my face which might look weird
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKqmpEtf4r
"I call this the VANTE style....my own style." He grins widely
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtvKYb0Zd4
"Oh... some kind of abstract style, hm?" I said trying hard to understand.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ixr3ldZjp
"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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms0WE5ANoI
He must be kidding.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDNDuzSng2
I grimaced softly, still couldn’t understand his randomness
"So you're saying we both look like twins, huh?"
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysVcy8w16w
Tae laughed loudly then put his two canvases on the floor and stepped closer to me.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Vs39kBwJA
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJbHSfTAWO
"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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u7FXhlGxw
I was stunned to hear the answer.
Makes me realize something
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK072GjSSgU
"Wait, if that So....
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyliHrUPkR
You don't really need a model for your painting?" I furrowed my brows spontaneously
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQerT3EOrD
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2UISTnYT9
Tae chuckled softly as he brought his handsome face closer. He then cupped my face with both of his palms, surprising me.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLVwIuRLY7
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxgzfDh8TJ
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaKdVVhWN1
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvh5nPGDQw
"You should have known, Lily Byeol....... I'll do anything to keep you close to me..."

301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pwvREoIRA
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf9aiK1oIf
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbAa4Fw9WI
The triumphant smile on his face instantly left me speechless.
