"Can i....um....treat you dinner....tonight?" Jk said as he looked me in the eye.

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

601Please respect copyright.PENANAkY04uSv4PK
601Please respect copyright.PENANABOImm7mkKR
Suddenly my phone rang in my hand, cutting off the intense view of jk
601Please respect copyright.PENANALpRN8oI82Q
601Please respect copyright.PENANAOOb3FrkrHo
Ah, tae....!
601Please respect copyright.PENANA44gDS8O7cx
601Please respect copyright.PENANAjsYwH6anZJ
"Yeah...." I mumbled slowly picking up the phone
601Please respect copyright.PENANAopahtGpM6J
"Well, why is it taking so long? Didn’t you find the room?" Tae asked with a sulky tone.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAKkuVmP34Bd
"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.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAc8IGxyWdcL
"Is that, Tae-hyung?" Jk suddenly asked
601Please respect copyright.PENANA0m1MjfdfgK
I nodded slowly at him.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAEeZSTlhV2c
"Lily? Who are you talking to?" Tae asked on the other side of the phone.
601Please respect copyright.PENANA7aX4NvcTqR
I think it’s because jk was standing so close to me so Tae could hear his voice too
601Please respect copyright.PENANAgPl21lARkG
"Oh ... I’m talking to jeykey ..." I answered briefly.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAjLtPHUxPqH
Jk suddenly stuck out his fingers and took the phone from my ear without me being able to prevent it.
601Please respect copyright.PENANA9hYmjQkihG
"Hi hyung, will lily be off duty tonight as your assistant?" Jk asked suddenly, it took me by surprise
601Please respect copyright.PENANANIoqwZZGVb
Tae's voice is faintly heard on the other side
601Please respect copyright.PENANAosIpZUZQRM
"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.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAvmTUpxc5uM
Oh my gosh, jeykey?? Why did he tell Tae?
I haven't said that I agree to go with him
601Please respect copyright.PENANAYqh819nbZR
"... she can’t ? Why..??" Jk suddenly hissed in disappointment.
601Please respect copyright.PENANA3nzlVabMd2
I raised my eyebrows, trying to guess the words Tae said.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAzo7hej1fsm
"Fine..." jk muttered with a frown on his face then handed the phone back to my hand.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAVrWvnYfhL2
I sighed quietly, did not understand what was going on.
601Please respect copyright.PENANANBVn8ONkfg
"Yes..." I mumbled softly, returning with the phone on my ear
601Please respect copyright.PENANAY8B9g5wayS
"The paints, lily..... I want to paint immediately.." Tae said in a tone that sounded flat
601Please respect copyright.PENANAQZcocHm8Ik
"Ok.." I answered simply. Before I could speak again, Tae had hung up the phone.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAWHqvvGqTC9
He sounded annoyed.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAdIMYAlHqEx
“Tae-hyung said you should accompany him to the chun family residence tonight?” Jk asked with a bent face
601Please respect copyright.PENANAiCCe3W6s4o
I nodded slowly
601Please respect copyright.PENANAlS4Z7WwkT4
"Sorry jeykey... I have no other choice..." I said biting my lip slowly
601Please respect copyright.PENANAVpFre0AUHA
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.
601Please respect copyright.PENANANDQLvKNpse
I smile while nodding
601Please respect copyright.PENANAH9N456y6Hl
"Now I have to hurry upstairs...." I said
601Please respect copyright.PENANAda340uJdSq
"Let me help you .." he offered, carrying a pile of newspapers.
601Please respect copyright.PENANALezQby0L9Q
We both finally left the storage room and headed to Tae's room.
601Please respect copyright.PENANA4qsQMRb0bS
601Please respect copyright.PENANAHSp5fHzX1B
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
601Please respect copyright.PENANAKeVJeUGDOX
"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.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAL1ZGvS3w0T
"Hey, hyung..... about tonight..." jk opens his mouth
601Please respect copyright.PENANAtuM4jZrC9T
"No, you can't..." Tae shook his head quickly.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAl1h79DasPX
"But..."
601Please respect copyright.PENANA5AoBpvpkKv
"Bye, Jeykey..." Tae said quickly then closed the bedroom door in front of Jk's surprised face.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAxWfCsFUVrc
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.
601Please respect copyright.PENANANoCZcjxyWd
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.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAhTibTrmKgx
"Mmph..." I was surprised when I realized that I was stopped because my back hit the surface of the cupboard.
601Please respect copyright.PENANABfv6OhMJjX
Tae leans closer and closes the distance between the two of us, making me squeez the paint cans even tighter in my arms.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAlbfLR0JHSR
"You took so long..." he mumbled, sounding annoyed. He pursed his red lips at me.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAZOIjp6AHzD
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.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAesrVPGYv12
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.
601Please respect copyright.PENANARq7ZZpJeO0
"Hmm?" I'm confused what to answer
601Please respect copyright.PENANA7Dhgv7XmwI
"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.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAL6et1VYtCe
"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.
601Please respect copyright.PENANApUm7kLAPFa
"What....? it's not like that, I didn't say yes to him..." I muttered in denial.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAVAdzpdR0u9
"Really? So you.... said No. to him?" He looked surprised with slightly sparkling eyes.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAmnVNscHNja
"Um..w-why? Do I have another choice?" I said raising an eyebrow at him.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAVpTcqxPh5U
"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.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAospBcXfQtd
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.
601Please respect copyright.PENANACrnTnedI3G
All of this confused me.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAoR09sZ4nFj
601Please respect copyright.PENANAJAjZsmrQ0w
"Hisss....you've come to your own conclusion..." I muttered under my breath a little annoyed.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAz0MT4K4nkd
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.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAgYVAHvJo4z
"Hm okay, the point is.... tonight you still go with me right?" he asked with slightly sparkling eyes.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAvaxj9vBYgE
I nodded slowly.
601Please respect copyright.PENANASd0j6VXWOm
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.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAg7Hc0YJeCg
"Yaaah, don't be arrogant... i'm just doing my job..." I said glaring softly.
601Please respect copyright.PENANACGfBa5sNLm
Tae smiled.
"I guarantee you won't regret your decision...." he said in a deep voice.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAGphrNGkINz
his meaningful gaze made me suddenly bit my lip nervously.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAUvLHOy8Kmr
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.
601Please respect copyright.PENANATXyAZgfKwK
Without being able to prevent it, he quickly pressed his body and brought his face closer to mine.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAzV6y20aOTC
"Umm? uh.... t-tae...." I stuttered as I pushed my back against the wall.
601Please respect copyright.PENANA1RYgh1qIX5
"Mm?" He mumbled quietly, staring at my lips.
601Please respect copyright.PENANATvE5LUQ9hX
Damn, I can't go anywhere else.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAxFMueBx7Ss
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.
601Please respect copyright.PENANA35t3oQzXUV
Oh, No.... what should I do?
601Please respect copyright.PENANA82RuUzn4Hp
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.
601Please respect copyright.PENANA86bQ0hYinG
muuah!
601Please respect copyright.PENANA1aElKCcRBZ
"Hmmfff...." Tae was surprised to find the cold surface of the can suddenly stuck to his lips, stopping his movement towards me suddenly.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAhzu2I2Ykbn
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.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAI7tfC0Yfy4
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.
601Please respect copyright.PENANApB8yDUybrP
"Come on, shall we start?" i asked while grin nervously, trying to distract tae who is still looking at me
601Please respect copyright.PENANAFDmvpt2sGJ
Tae snorted softly then lazily walked over to the canvas.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAo0z5qga06L
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.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAu1ku2PYjhE
He prepared everything without saying a word, apparently he was still annoyed with my attitude that suddenly thrust the cold can to his face.
601Please respect copyright.PENANASNhobAF51w
It was so cute tho to see his sulky face, it made me smile quitely.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAInpJA94UWs
"Ok, ready? I will start painting.." he said glanced at me who nodded quickly.
601Please respect copyright.PENANA13Aq1ALkcR
"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.
601Please respect copyright.PENANA4QdUPcTasO
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.
601Please respect copyright.PENANA9KFXnRz4yS
"Yaaah.... don't move much..." he hissed in protest at me.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAumUJYqEsNE
I suddenly stopped and rolled my eyes at him.
Iish, fun killer! I grumbled in my heart.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAqj7NoVImje
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.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAOorcMZ47JM

601Please respect copyright.PENANAMk4066t9qa
(Extra)
601Please respect copyright.PENANAqmEhfVSJBo
"Wait? What's this??" I shrieked softly at the painting in front of me.
601Please respect copyright.PENANACIxvEwLSNk
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.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAViH0rTOUhK
"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.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAFUfpcP4jpi
Tae laughed out loud seeing the expression on my face which might look weird
601Please respect copyright.PENANALkhoifiW8F
"I call this the VANTE style....my own style." He grins widely
601Please respect copyright.PENANAM9iJirAVfx
"Oh... some kind of abstract style, hm?" I said trying hard to understand.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAl5dNjfYYCj
"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.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAyOf9t1yby9
He must be kidding.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAkqZFCOu1bz
I grimaced softly, still couldn’t understand his randomness
"So you're saying we both look like twins, huh?"
601Please respect copyright.PENANATSTY3fnXoa
Tae laughed loudly then put his two canvases on the floor and stepped closer to me.
601Please respect copyright.PENANA42j52A6utT
601Please respect copyright.PENANA9EinnCq972
"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.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAaluFI7UUIC
I was stunned to hear the answer.
Makes me realize something
601Please respect copyright.PENANAAY6eFGWruz
"Wait, if that So....
601Please respect copyright.PENANAn5FQ21yPaq
You don't really need a model for your painting?" I furrowed my brows spontaneously
601Please respect copyright.PENANAuTSXlevcBM
601Please respect copyright.PENANAgOnwuHK8pg
Tae chuckled softly as he brought his handsome face closer. He then cupped my face with both of his palms, surprising me.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAWzlkw0KlRt
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.
601Please respect copyright.PENANAKZHhlSEmvD
601Please respect copyright.PENANA8h8zkT1lLf
601Please respect copyright.PENANAws5QqGTnXP
"You should have known, Lily Byeol....... I'll do anything to keep you close to me..."
601Please respect copyright.PENANA0XsnNLLo1r
601Please respect copyright.PENANAGENKy03D4I
601Please respect copyright.PENANAjZjNYwk1gu
601Please respect copyright.PENANA65a1tS27xK
601Please respect copyright.PENANAKra56osHAh
The triumphant smile on his face instantly left me speechless.
