You Can Paint Me

Chapter 34

There was nothing in the world that I wanted to do more than to evaporate into thin air and cease to exist.

Having Chan stare down at me like that, with an arched brow, folded arms and this mischievous smirk of his, drove me crazy.
My cheeks were burning up with embarrassment and my eyes would pop out of their shockets any time soon.
I could do nothing but scoot closer to Mia, who was equally as flustered and embarrassed as me, wanting to pull her away from the two amused boys in front of us.

Changing species and turning into an ostrich, actually sounds like a great idea.

How much did they hear from our conversation..?
A part of me is itching to know, but the other part of me thinks that it's better if I stay unaware.

As I watched Chan getting closer to us, I gulped in agony and mentally prepared myself for anything that was about to happen.
"Alright girls, let's stop the ranting here and go for a swim, shall we?", he averted his gaze from Mia to me and his grin got wider.

Boy, if only I wasn't so frozen on the spot right now, I would smack that pretty little grin of yours from your pretty littly face.

But of course, I was too dumbfounded and startled from how the tables turned that I couldn't function properly.
"B...bu- B-but-", the words couldn't form in my lips and I was left stuttering like an idiot, my eyes still big from the shock.

He held a finger near my lips, almost touching my skin and shushed me. "No 'buts'. Only mine.", his lips formed an evil smile, clearly enjoying this moment and in other circumstances, I would have rolled my eyes at his cocky remark, but as I stated previously, I couldn't.

He proceeded to grab my hand, slowly pulling me towards the lake, but I was refusing to follow him, as I was motionless, like a stick.

"Bu-"

"I know, my Snookums, I know. You like my butt and I can understand how badly you want to touch it right now, but just control yourself, okay?", he stated with a knowing, yet teasing tone in his voice, attempting to make me move an inch, but he failed.

"No, I didn't-", I was slowly regaining my composure, but this cocky little dillweed wouldn't stop cutting me off sentence.

"It's okay, my Snookums, no need to feel ashamed.", he chuckled and sneakily creeped a hand around my waist, without me realizing.

"No- AHHH CHAN PUT ME DOWN!", I yelped when I felt my body being lifted in the air, out of the blue. My head started to spin while he threw me on his shoulder right after, securing me with his hands on the back of my thighs. All I could see right now, was his bare back and a glimpse of his butt-

My kidnapper started walking closer to the lake, laughing continuously at my wiggly state, as I didn't stop hitting his back and demanding him to put me down.
"You wouldn't budge, babygirl. I had to make you move somehow.", he said and gripped on my thighs tighter, making sure that I wasn't going to fall down from wiggling like a fish.

I tried to fight back the warm sensation creeping in my cheeks and my constant heartbeat, every time his fingertips would brush gently on my skin.
I chose to focus on the ground instead and watch how the wooden floor started to get covered by water, slowly getting deeper into the lake, as my feet started to feel the cold sensation of the transparent liquid.
I glanced back at where I was once standing before this irrational boy decided to pick me up and throw me on his broad shoulders, like a lifeless object, only to see something unexpected.

I saw a smirking Minho lifting up a blushing Mia in bridal-style and following us from behind. Ava and Changbin taking their sweet time, but eventually following Minho close by.
