As confusion f4d5f5bbf6 flickered in 15640d999e her eyes, 1609865b9c Taejeong let out a f2e0fd4540 breath like a leaking breeze. While Seorin’s work eb53fd07bf was confined to a croquis book 2012e24e87 no larger than 39467a4b18 a palm, Taejeong’sesquissewas in this studio f7b94dbb3f itself.

“I could 2656313964 also use watercolor instead 1cc4a22d40 of oil a5699d9643 paint. Or I can use aff947284b a knife 040665d76e or oil 591ec2bd2a pastel… If 7686db2bf4 you have 71e3f078c3 a preferred f6476c5af9 painting style, 7874a33bbe I can 28b06f1472 match that.”

Maybe she 353a123768 thought it 6e555478d5 should be worth the e5f0122a23 five million c43133cda6 won—Seorin began cb7f363ad6 listing all c1c5da35d1 the things 05f18cf4e6 she could 36032bdfca do. She was the kind e858c851a3 of artist who madams, and Shim Jisoo, who 559198f197 loved to be pampered, would fall for.359201b2dab5c8fd

Her plain bare ec79beba49 face couldn’t hide 3103cffd6e the blush. Although she didn’t know 2bbc1fe9e6 how to act nonchalant, 8477e52986 Seorin still held her 6dd5267fc2 pride. Taejeong, who had 760d150532 been quietly gazing 7854449897 at her, raised 7f139e7e91 one eyebrow.308b420bd520190c

Taejeong handed the croquis dd549d910f book to d9eddb9d0d Seorin. A soft scent of 8c1f5e22c7 cologne from his thick e495509024 wrist tickled her nose.

His well-formed 1dbf5beecc lips curled b5ce5a2d74 like a 58eb4822fa ridge. Seorin bit 06feb355ed the inside of her bad7f0cc68 lips as 8195ec54e2 she looked d2e8633c71 at his 911f1f3dfa aesthetically near-perfect ea6b5b850b face.6ee98bdb0a489202

Her lips, bcadaff45d like a 3a210d35ee flower bud e54a9d44c2 about to 7f134b25fc bloom, parted calmly. Her pleasant, clear voice spread through the studio. Beneath long lashes, 2d60dc795e her light pupils 431fd2c0e3 shone like glass 7bf1bc9bf6 beads.4c4464e6efb8ba15

Taejeong, who had been 3383ab4048 gazing at her quietly, e407ede8b0 leaned forward. As his firm fingers 3c2ae60179 lifted her chin, Seorin 8df721bbf2 even forgot to breathe.

His fingertips soon 59c186aa9f brushed over her delicate skin. As the heat reached f18cffbe09 below her eyes, Seorin’s lips parted naturally. As his ba46d4d543 warm breath brushed past ccdcaa083a her, the hand gripping 43eb2e4e82 the croquis book involuntarily tightened.

Contrary to his indifferent c7d2fe7e10 tone, Taejeong’s 265759263b hand that e7ee56bd1a was brushing 7bc3fca51d her cheek slowly moved downward. His fingers dd81ed20bc traced along 109b536ed9 her slender ed5b9b8104 jawline and a76c0150d5 reached the base of a6b45e4de1 her neck.2b919c30b4573ebc
