You Can Paint Me

Chapter 9

A warm sensation tingled my skin as bright light hit my face, making me squeeze my eyes shut further in the process.

Furiously, I shifted from my comfortable position and covered my face with my pillow, preventing this blinding light from hurting my eyes.

But to no avail.

The piercing, warm light went through the small gap between my face and my pillow, reaching my eyes once again and making me groan in frustration.

I was woken up by the morning sunlight.

You know how that feels, right?

This annoying way of waking you up, whether you want it or not, because apparently, the light coming from the window is burning your eyes to death, and it's too strong to handle?

Yes. That's precisely what is happening to me right now.
It seems that I must have forgotten to close my bedroom's window last night and now I have to survive this torturous way of waking up.

Why me?

What did I do to deserve such kind of treatment? Especially, when I'm not a morning person to begin with.

Defeated, I painfully opened my eyes and looked at my surroundings. Yawning uncontrollably while rubbing by puffy eyes, I reached for my phone that rested on my night stand.
Unlocking it, I looked at the day.

It's Saturday.

And you know what that means?
It's the day where we have fun watching Changbin training Jeongin till he is not able to breathe properly, with Jisung joining them.

What a lovely day, indeed.

After having breakfast, washing my disgustingly sleepy face and wearing some more presentable clothes, rather than my pyjamas, I was ready to meet the rest of the partners in crime in the park.

a.k.a the ones that watch the final days of Jeongin.

a.k.a Felix, Mia and Ava.

We always meet at the park, because it's the only place closer to everyone's apartments.

The training session starts around twelve and it's currently eleven thrity, so I'm heading out in a minute.

I'm not going alone, though. Jisung is going to pick me up to go meet the rest at the park, as we live in the same area and wanted to walk there together.

Besides, I believe it's a good chance to be a good friend for him and prepare him for the rejection.

At least, I'll try to.

We only have 10-15 minutes until we reach the park, anyways. I'll try to do my best.

As I stepped out of the building, closing the door behind me, a familiar figure was standing outside, waiting for me.
A bright smile spread across his face once we made eye contact, that I was more that happy to return.

"Good morning Liv!", Jisung greeted me with his big smile, that made his eyes disappear.

"Good morning to you too Ji.", I greeted back, slowly approaching him.

"Ready for today's competition?", I teased him, wanting to get a reaction out of him. Because, I know, Changbin is about to squeeze their remaining energy out of them.

Though, he seemed quite confident and his reply clarified it.
"Yup. I've been preparing my self for a week, so I'm ready for this moment.", he stated proudly.

Okay, tough guy. We will see how this 'preparation' of yours pays off in a bit.

"That's good to hear. Best of luck little squirrel.", I smiled innocently, even though, I know that he doesn't really like this nickname that we have given him.
