Voodoo Marionette *Jikook* [Hiatus]

6: Skating Ex

"Dude!"

"Focus!"

"I was warming up!"

"And I was practicing!"

"Then let me finish first!"

Jungkook tried not to smile to Taehyung's playful giggle, who shoves him with an arm while the other arm is holding the hockey stick and patting the puck side to side while he warmed up to get into the feel.

Okay, maybe Jungkook was being a little annoying when Taehyung got here and stepped into the rink.

As wished, Jungkook did let Taehyung warm up a bit on the ice - skating to his heart content with his hockey stick while patting the puck here and there. After a while, Jungkook got a little bored doing his own thing alone, so it's only natural that he got a little annoying to his best friend.

Taehyung can't get angry at him, even if he tried.

He's glowing with that adorable smile of his right now, the one that would make Jungkook's chest swell up inside with giddiness. So to fight it back and not reveal it, Jungkook ended up stealing the puck and made a quick dash to the opposite direction.

"Jungkook!"

The ravenette skates at a crazy speed, the rink filled with the sound of the ice crunching and slicing from the skates aggressively as he does easy transitions, glides and twirls while controlling the puck, fighting hard to avoid Taehyung while the other man equally as roughly skates on the ice to chase after him with his amused yet competitive smile.

They were going off like this for a while, getting into competitive games once Taehyung managed to catch up to him, going through some of their usual drills and practices. At one point setting the sticks aside to just skate around the rink to cool off.

Since kids the two have been skating together. Always consistently being in the same team, especially when they happen to go to the same schools while growing up. They've grown in sync with each other that they've became known at the 'Bonne & Clyde' of the team. A game without on of them in it is complete. They complete each other out here in the rink, and perhaps that is because of the years of experience and practicing together, or because of their genuine connection.

Maybe both.

The team's greatest weapon.

"No way, Yangyang actually got better?"

"Yeah man, you should see him practice," Taehyung boast, making a sharp transition and skates backwards, facing Jungkook while the other skates with his hands in his pockets, "You should come at least once to these workouts."

"I would but it clashes with my football practices," Jungkook mutters, gliding on the curve of the rink, "But you're the captain too, the team will be fine."

Taehyung playfully rolls his eyes and lazily glides on one leg in a wide half circle, now on Jungkook's side, "Eh, it's not the same. Remember Seokijn?"

How can he ever forget fucking Seokjin?

Captain and team player perspective wise, Seokjin is the best secret weapon in the team. No one can easily pass him while he's in line of defense, ever. He's super skilled and aggressive when he has to be. Not a dirty player, but not one that can easily be thrown around.

Now social wise, Jungkook absolutely can't stand him.

Since him and Taehyung literally got to this school, it was as though it was at love at first sight because Seokjin would not stop going after Taehyung's ass. Mind you, Jungkook and Taehyung were talking by this stage, heading to something serious, and everyone fucking knew that.
