As confusion flickered in her eyes, Taejeong let 59f02f9e77 out a breath like 5d0340a621 a leaking breeze. While Seorin’s work 26900f1c55 was confined to a croquis book no larger than 189cc587fe a palm, Taejeong’sesquissewas in this 9fe80c7d92 studio itself.50bbc939483637d7

“I could also e3528db552 use watercolor instead 2a02540f35 of oil paint. Or I can 140a090d8c use a knife or oil pastel… b672986033 If you have 630d2526f6 a preferred painting 997b23993b style, I can 800c406ffd match that.”51109c6f3c11c449

Maybe she thought 6ee02667dd it should be fbe93de786 worth the five 6d3a4bf55b million won—Seorin began bb0e774e67 listing all the f7c2dfdc9e things she could 9cccef2274 do. She was the dd3e109123 kind of artist 0789a28c14 who madams, and 6183d45bb9 Shim Jisoo, who 6c06b8153b loved to be pampered, would fall for.d29a0deb9d5ebf28

Her plain 9f288fe16f bare face cd784afadf couldn’t hide e7c2717c74 the blush. Although she didn’t know db92457b6b how to act nonchalant, 39a5400753 Seorin still held her 239c9a1748 pride. Taejeong, who had 001c68bcf9 been quietly gazing 10e4e02e9b at her, raised ff2c070705 one eyebrow.

The works c2deec551b Taejeong had e2741497f8 purchased through 942a57c6a3 overseas galleries dd62229e20 were mostly 64c40caee0 landscapes. The refined madams e507ffb976 who grew up 4e26a49f57 seeing only beautiful f0da860f08 things seemed to commission paintings that e94d93cdb1 were easy to c97e146274 hang anywhere.dc62792276e0f134

His well-formed lips curled 376a18ba20 like a ridge. Seorin bit the 335fe23367 inside of her ae60a097e7 lips as she 3a5af4e15f looked at his 335dd049ec aesthetically near-perfect face.a6ea55aa117ac731

Her lips, 034e528298 like a 4acbc4e0a8 flower bud b863cbb6dc about to 4fa049b6b5 bloom, parted 49087fc63b calmly. Her pleasant, clear voice 6ba3d0f553 spread through bb22773b50 the studio. Beneath long lashes, her light pupils b0f04d4373 shone like glass 2bdf35a139 beads.1119f676bcbc001d

Taejeong, who had been c1ea9a6fb7 gazing at her quietly, 464462ca13 leaned forward. As his firm e4cd380e02 fingers lifted her 9f6dda7d47 chin, Seorin even e63898bfb2 forgot to breathe.6543c88f5f16efbe

His fingertips a4965a2c77 soon brushed 1f162c434f over her delicate skin. As the heat reached 9ec9310950 below her eyes, Seorin’s lips parted naturally. As his d6effac151 warm breath f99204aa25 brushed past her, the 785af562f5 hand gripping 223d59a506 the croquis 00b79e7a52 book involuntarily tightened.

Contrary to his indifferent 188d8e7a07 tone, Taejeong’s hand that 02975d9779 was brushing b7b48e8206 her cheek slowly moved 9ef841922b downward. His fingers 121faa7ba5 traced along 57ba7a7f4a her slender 271262fd8c jawline and 65b4d867bb reached the c81a2de718 base of her neck.69a21dc8cbbab66e

Despite her firm refusal, 3fbf79b0d6 Taejeong let out a 66ce745c70 faint laugh f50309dc63 and lowered 5075e658c2 his gaze. The hand f7b34c1633 gripping the e9d49c8b21 croquis book 65298c3645 had tightened considerably. The delicate tremor in 319814bc4b Seorin’s nape stirred Taejeong’s 4a7a5a46f0 appetite.
