"Pink," she said to him smiling a little as she looked at him then fixed her head gear and pulled her arm pads on tighter before stretching a little to make sure everything fit right but didn't limit her movement.

---

Chanyeol looked at her, "How does it feel wrong? What about this is wrong?" he asked her, "It didn't feel wrong before, if we weren't meant for more than what you're wanting to happen then why didn't it feel bad before?"

"Because you weren't my professor before. There wasn't a chance of you losing your job before." She said to him. "Do you remember when we first met how excited you were that you had gotten this job? It meant so much to you, and I was so happy for you."

"If we're caught, you lose this job, and might be blacklisted from other universities. Screwing your students isn't exactly applauded. Then me? People think I slept with you for grades, and no matter what the truth is, it won't change what people think. You need to work and I need to finish school. And theb there's the president. Like it or not, right now you are stuck. Meeting her, or doing whatever he wants. That makes me the whore, Chanyeol. I'm the other especially if it progresses the way he wants it to."

---

He pulled down the pink box for her and handed it over. "Take these, and I'll show you how to load your gun. The others are outside already, and we'll join them." He smiled a little. He took out his own with the purple balls and held them up showing her how to load them correctly.

She nodded and took the box and the paintball gun then watched him as he loaded it then proceeded to load her own gun. "Alright, lets do this then," she said to him putting her face shield down. Her heart was racing and she was more exciting than she had been in a long time, it made her feel like her life was her own.

---

"I like my job but if he is going to pressure me for my entire career to marry his daughter then I am not going to do it, I will not stand by while I'm pressured into a life I do not want - so after this semester I am going to tell him; either I quite or he lays off me, because I want this with you more than I've wanted anything in a long time. There hasn't been a woman in my life that has even remotely meant as much to me as you do, so if you don't want me I'll stop but there won't ever be anyone else so Id be better off marrying her if you tell me to go right now," he said seriously as he looked at her, "Tell me to go and it'll be over,"

"Of course I don't want you to go, do you think it's easy for me?" She asked him. "I want nothing more than to tell you to stay. The last thing I want is to see you date or even marry someone else. But it's not that simple, theres so much more than just what I or you want. I want you, believe me I do. But it's hard. So much could go wrong."

---

He laughed as he grabbed his already loaded gun with red pellets. "We'll head into the arena, and when you hear the signal we start." He said, pulling on his mask. "Ready?"

She smiled,"Ready," she said to him as she looked at him then waited for the clear to go into the field area, she was more than ready for this. A part of her wished she'd done this sooner, "Are you ready to have your butt kicked?"

---

He look at her an crossed his arms over his chest, unsure of what to do. Chanyeol watched her face, "It is that simple - its only four months then we'll be fine, I'll five him an ultimatum or go to the board or f ind a new job I will not be pressured to marry her,"

"I want to be with you, and I don't want to see you with someone else." She said, shaking her head. "So no, I won't tell you to leave. I want you to stay. But if this comes out, I might have to deny you. And I don't want to do that, so we'll have to be careful. Really careful. Because I don't want you to go."

---

"Are you ready to have yours kicked?" He laughed as he heard the signal. "Good luck," He said before heading to find a wall to hide behind.

Hayden nodded then headed to hide behind one of the walls, she eyed her surroundings and when they called open fire she moved from her spot then hid behind some tires, when she heard foot steps she moved out from her spot then aimed her paintball gun towards the footsteps. She fired a shot at the person coming towards her then hides behind the opposite side of the tires then shooting directly in front of her when she spots Jackson.

---

Chanyeol nodded a little as he looked at her then sat down, "Lets have dinner," he said to her smiling a little.

She sat down on her couch and sighed before she shook her head slowly. "I'd really like a hug," She said quietly. She was terrified. She couldn't stop thinking about what might go wrong, but she knew she cared about him. "Please?"

---

Jackson jumped, seeing the pink splat on his chest. He turned, seeing Hayden and aiming back, before laughing to himself. He shot another pellet, hitting one of the others in the arena.

He moved over to her and put his arms around her then closed his eyes "Anytime," he murmured as he squeezed her in his arms tightly, "all you have to do is say the word,"

---

When the paintballing was over she'd tagged out two people and managed to only get shot once, when she got out of the arena she pulled the helmet off and wiped the sweat off her forehead. "Oh man, thats a lot more of a workout than I anticipated,"

Jackson pouted as he walked over to her, gesturing to the pink mark on his chest. "This is fine, but did you have to shoot me here?" He asked, turning and showing a pink splotch on his backside. "That's just unfair."

---

She buried her face in his chest, pulling him closer to her. "Thank you," She murmured. "For not giving up, and for coming here tonight. I'm afraid but I care about you more than I'm worried about something bad happening." She murmured, holding him tightly.

She laughed a little, "I couldn't help it you were all bent over so I took the shot I had," she shrugged with a sheepish smile then set her gun down then began to remove the rest of the padding, "We should do this again sometime, I had fun,"

---

He smiled a little as he stroked her back affectionately, "I could never give up on something like this." he had never felt this way about anyone, most people might think he was crazy.

She buried her face in his neck and sighed. "Do you have to leave? Stay tonight. I'll probably need to limit the time I come to see you at school, so we'll need to plan when I can come see you."

---

He pulled off his padding and smiled at her. "I'm glad you liked it. Its what I hoped for, I wanted you to experience a little freedom to do whatever you want." He said to her. "Hungry? We can go out to eat," He smiled a little.

She looked at him and smiled,"As long as we can go to a vegetarian place, I already ate meat this week at dinner with my dad," she said to him smiling a little then grabbed her clothes so she could change back into her street clothes/

---

Chanyeol nodded,"I can stay if you want me to - its the weekend so we dont have to go anywhere tomorrow,"

"Stay," She nodded. "I was actually working on your assignment when you showed up," She laughed a little. "But I was almost done, so I'm okay."

---

"You don't eat meat?" He asked curiously. "Thats fine, we can find someplace. What do you like?"

"Only a couple of times a month," she said to him smiling a little as she looked at him, "I like this little place off of 2nd they're open till midnight,"

---

Chanyeol nodded,"I won't leave then, well lets eat so you can finish your assignment I'd hate for you to turn it in late," he joked.

"And here I was doing my assignment and my professor himself comes to distract me." She laughed and reached for her laptop. "You can start eating, Ill finish this." She said pulling her blanket up and sighing. "You're supposed to be grading assignments and instead you're distracting your students with food," she joked.

---

"Sounds like a plan," He said, running a hand through his hair. "I'll follow you?" He asked her curiously. "That's not too far."

"They have great food, for being vegan its incredibly savory, you'll be surprised," she promised him as she smiled. She walked into the bathroom to change then came out, "I have some stain remover in the car if you wanna put some on the pain spots," she offered as she held up the pants.

---

He grinned,"Food is everything, without it I would not be nearly as happy as I am now," he laughed a little as he looked at her.

She smiled a bit to herself as she typed. "You're happy?" She asked him with a small smile. She reached up and tightened her pony tail before she heard a snap and the hair tie popped. She groaned and sighed, shaking her head. "One day I'll just cut it all off," she mumbled. "You can go ahead and start eating, I just want to finish this."

---

"Not sure about Vegan food but I'll try it, I'm sure it's good." He shook his head. "It's paintball clothes, no use in trying to get the stains out. But thanks," He said as he grabbed the outfits and put them in a bag. "So lll follow you, okay?"

She smiled a little,"Sounds good, they have the best sandwich melts," she said to him as she pulled her keys out of her purse and walked with him to her car.

---

He smiled a little then nodded,"Of course I'm happy, I'm getting what I want," he said teasingly then held a bite of food to her mouth, "Take a bite,"

She smiled a little and leaned over, taking a bite. "Thank you," She murmured, typing on her computer. "Alright, its done. Let me know how I do," She joked.

---

He climbed into his car and opened the window. "Come on then, I'm starving here!" He grinned, honking his horn.
