beep. beep. beep.

i jolted up from my bed and stopped the annoying alarm clock. i looked out the window. yeosang was waiting for me! shit, i was five minutes late.

i quickly took a hot shower and dried my hair. i put on a black beanie along with a brown turtleneck. i slid my jeans on and wore my fingerless gloves. i stuffed my foot in my new black boots walked out quickly.

"hey yeosang! i'm sorry, i'm late" i apologised

"what do you mean? you're only a few minutes late, there's nothing to be worried about" he responded.

he had a cute white beanie on and he was wearing gray boots. his hoodie and coat looked new. and he was wearing his signature jeans.

"ready to go?" i inspected.

"yeah! i brought some ice skates so that we wouldn't have to waste our money on them there. i'm not sure if it'll fit you though.."

"it's okay. if it doesn't, i'll just buy one on my own,i don't mind, really."

he nodded shyly and we drove to the skating rink. it wasn't quite far but it wasn't near either. when we had arrived, yeosang had immediately disappeared and rushed to the counter, buying tickets for us. unfortunately for him, i booked it for us already and i stopped him from buying extra tickets. he was baffled and he huffed.

"y-you should've let me paid! i didn't want you to book without me knowing!"

"i'm sorry, yeo . but i just felt like doing it"

".. enough talking let's skate!" he told me excitedly.

we sat at the audience seats and put on the ice skates. surprisingly, mine fit. so i tied my lace faster than yeosang did and he looked like he was struggling to pull the lace.

"need help?" i asked

"yes, thank you"

i knelt down in front of him and interlaced the strings together, looking up at him. he was gazing and then our eyes met.

"do me a favour. don't look back at me if you think i'm looking at you." he said, looking away this time

"of course, your highness" i jokingly said.

he let out a giggle and slapped the back of my head lightly. he was such a softie. he didn't dare to hurt anyone physically and roughly. my heart melted at the thought of him. once i was done tying the laces of his skates, i helped him get up. we entered the rink, yeosang's hands getting a good grip on my arms. we were able to balance and start moving on the solid ice together. yeosang looks at me, his beautiful eyes filled with sparks. a huge, shy smile was plastered all over his sculpted face.

after getting used to the rink, i skated individually. it was fun. but it was more fun seeing yeosang have fun. he moved gracefully on the ice. although the sounds of the skates scraping against the ice were awful, he caught all my attention, shutting out the other dreadful noises. he did a double spin and skated over to me.

"that was.. amazing. you are amazing" i told him

"thanks! wanna try it?"

"how though? i haven't really skated before" jongho chuckled

"by doing it with me, silly"

yeosang reaches out for my hands and i went along with it. his soft and elegant fingers intertwined with mine as we skated together. there wasn't a lot of people. lucky for us, i figured. eventually, i lost my balance for a moment and fell back with yeosang. he was on top of me and our noses were touching. out of the blue, he was cracking up and slapped my face playfully.
