Chapter 12 - Let's go ice skating

Jisung pov:

I woke up to the feeling of someone playing with my hair. It was the weekend, so I wasn't really stressed about the time. I turned my head to look at Minho.

"Goodmorning. So, how did you sleep?" he asked, still playing with my hair.

"Great, I'm just happy it's the weekend and we can finally rest. Do you have any plans today?" I said and buried my head in his chest. He wrapped his arms around me tighter and I almost choked.

"Well, I told you so. I can be quite nice company. But yes, later I'm going out for drinks with some friends. How about you?" he answered and I laughed at his first remark.

"Sounds cool. No plans for the day so far" I had kinda hoped he was free so we could do some more 'bonding'.

"It's only like 11 am right now, so if you want to do something, I'm down. I heard they opened up an ice skating rink close by. I have never tried ice skating before, so that could be fun" Minho said and the thought of going made me warm inside. I could teach him how to skate. Not that I'm an expert. Since we have already broken the physical barrier, it won't be awkward if he needs support.

"Sure, sounds good. I'll let you get ready first and catch a bit more sleep myself" I said since I knew he was more of a 'morning' person than me.

"Okay" he said, but he didn't let go of me. He just sighed, brushed his hands through my hair, and tightened his hug once again.

"Not that I want you to, but shouldn't you get going" I mumbled into his chest.

"yes, I'm going now" he said and went up. Before leaving, he smiled at me. It was great to see this side of him. He's a true fluff ball apparently. His scent lingered in the sheats and I fell asleep again easily.

...time skip:) They're both ready...

"Perfect. Let's go" Minho said grabbing his jacket. Neither Felix nor Changbin were home, so there was no one to say goodbye to. I put on my shoes and jacket as well and opened the door. I held it for Minho as the decent human being I am.

"Thanks" he said as he closed the door behind us. This time we both double-checked that we had brought our keys. The ice skating rink was down the street, so we were there in two minutes.

"Hey! Skates for two please" Minho said to the guy behind the counter. We got our sizes and Minho paid. We went to the changing area to change into the skates.

"Thanks, but you didn't have to pay for me as well" I told him.

"It's good. You can just pay next time" he said and I screamed on the inside. So this was like gonna become a regular thing that we hang out. Mabey I'll become one of the cool kids at the company then haha. After putting my skates on, I stood up to signal I was ready. Minho had his on as well, but he was not standing up.

"Are you ready?" I asked him.

"Yeah, how do I stand up?" he asked shyly. I reached out my hands for him to get the support to stand up. I laughed a little by myself that the Lee Minho did not know how to stand in the skates. But it was his first time after all.

"Thanks haha" he said getting a little red from embarrassment. I reached for his arm to link with mine to support him on the way to the ice. He almost tripped but I caught him and he put his other hand on my forearm for extra support. We made it to the ice and I let go of him. He immediately started to try and find balance, but he was struggling. So I went back to him and took his hands again. He skated a few times but then he fell down, bringing me with him.

I was directly on top of him. Our noses were touching and I could feel his warm breath on my skin. I gave him an Eskimo kiss out of pure instinct. He laughed, leaned his head back, and ruffled my hair.

"Sorry" I said as I was getting up. I helped Minho up as well.

"No worries, I was the one that dragged you down" he replied and we started skating again, still holding hands. We skated a couple of rounds with no issues. We here chatting the whole time. I would probably let go of his hand at this point, but something inside me was telling me not to.

"Are you hungry? It looks like they have snacks over there if you want anything" he said and pointed to the exit.

"Yeah, I can always go for some snacks" I responded and we went out of the ice. We changed back into our normal shoes and handed in the skated. It looked like there had been a change in shifts. A girl our age was now behind the counter.

"Minho? Lee Minho? I follow you on youtube! You're a great dancer! I'm such a fan" the girl said. I didn't know he had a youtube channel.

"Yeah, that's me. I'm glad you like the videos. There will be becoming a new one soon. We're currently working on a collab" Minho said and looked at me. I did not know he was planning on posting our dance on the internet.

"Cool! I'll look forward to it and your beautiful visuals as always" she said and winked. Was she flirting with him?

"Thanks, bye" he said, put his arm around me, and started walking towards the snack stand. He must be used to girls, mabey even boys, flirting with him. I'm not a big flirt but looking at Minho made me want to try and flirt.

"Two caramel popcorns please" Minho ordered and paid again. Mabey his youtube channel was monetized. We got the popcorn to go since it was getting late and Minho had other places to be. He removed his arm from my shoulders to get the popcorn.

"Here" he handed me mine and we went out the exit.
