Thin Ice- SunSun

[Chapter 14]

Jungwon's hand moved instinctively along the wall, directing the paint brush up and down, covering it in a light, grey colour. The sound of Nu'est's 'love paint' filled the room, as Jay was playing their 'painting' playlist through the speakers. Concentrating on the task, Jungwon's tongue poked ever so slightly out his mouth. He continued brush stroke, after brush stroke, but had a weird feeling someone was looking at him. His intuition was right, glancing to the person next to him, who couldn't seem to take their eyes off the boy. 

"You'd get this done a lot faster if you looked at the wall." Jungwon murmured, dipping his brush into the paint bucket below him.

"I prefer looking at you." A smirk plasters Jay's face."Am I not allowed to?"

"Uh well, we came here to paint after all." He feels nervous under Jay's piercing eyes, nearly dropping his paint brush into the tin. 

"We did? I must have forgot." Jay bites their lip, leaning their back against the wall. 

Jungwon's heart beat went crazy, Jay was such a tease. This was the first time he had ever been alone with them, and Jungwon was already losing his cool. Positioning himself towards the wall, Jungwon starts painting the part he hadn't touched yet.

"So, do you like having a restaurant named after you?" Jungwon switches up the conversation.

Scrunching their nose, Jay thought about it for a second. "Hmm it was weird at first, but I don't mind now." 

"Your mum has another restaurant right, what's that one called?"

"It was 'Park's Pizza Co.' This is the only restaurant she has though, she just moved the old one here and re branded." Picking up a brush, Jay actually began painting.

"Oh cool, why'd she move the restaurant? Isn't that a lot of work?" Jungwon felt relaxed, it was nice talking to Jay without them being all flirty.

"Definitely a lot of work, but it's what she wanted. Last pride, the building association wouldn't let her decorate or celebrate, it really pissed her off. That's why she moved here, this way she can run her restaurant the way she pleases."

"Good for her. I hope the new restaurant's a big success." Jungwon gleams.

Jay can't focus on painting for long, Jungwon's smile was just too cute. The boy looked adorable today, his messy, brown curls under his blue beret, with a yellow jumper draped over his shoulders. He had obviously made an effort to dress up, it was almost a crime to hide the outfit under coveralls. 

"Come here."

Jungwon furrows his eye brows, shooting Jay a confused look.

"Just come on." Jay playfully rolls their eyes, letting out a small chuckle.

Taking slow steps towards Jay, he attempts to keep some distance between them, but every time he stopped, Jay gestures him forward more. They were now so close, Jungwon could see every feature on Jay's face clearly. 

"Close your eyes."

Jungwon didn't hesitate, making Jay smirk. The boy felt so nervous being this close to Jay, they could do anything they wanted to him, he had no idea what Jay had planned. 

A cold, wet 'something' touched his nose, causing him to flinch. It was obviously being pressed down by Jay's finger. Jungwon burst his eyes open to see Jay smiling devilishly, with grey paint on their index. 

"That's better, you were too clean to associate yourself with me."

Pure little Jungwon, of course Jay saw him that way. That's the only way people seemed to look at him. Was this just a game to Jay? Did they just want to defile the perfect boy, then ditch him once they got what they wanted? Jungwon wasn't as inexperienced as everyone assumed, he always went for people like Jay, this wasn't his first time dealing with such a flirt.
