"Alright, you can't be too tense or you will start to bounce," Roseanne said sternly before she pulled the reins of her horse to signal it to slow down while waiting for Park Jimin to catch up to her. They were currently circling slowly around the barn to get used to riding.
"Just relax...I noticed that you tend to tighten your legs around the horse which is not good. You have to think of... how should I put it..." She made a deliberate pause. "It's like being one with the horse. Imagine it as an extension of you, instead of an animal that you are riding."
Roseanne knew that Park Jimin was intelligent but it was not until today that she saw how his intelligence was put to the test. Park Jimin was a fast learner and was able to follow her instructions well. Though Roseanne never dared to underestimate her man, she was pleasantly surprised at his progress and even wonder why he was afraid of horses in the first place.
"Hey... you seemed to be afraid of horses a while ago," she teased which earned a chuckle from Lucas who was following closely behind them. "Why were you afraid of them?" she continued before turning her head around to shoot a glare at Lucas. This man was really courting death.
"Teeth," Park Jimin answered shortly, while concentrating hard on maintaining his control over the horse and maneuvering it. One single mistake and this horse could rear back and throw him to the ground.
"What do you mean? Like their teeth? Why would you be scared of their teeth?" Roseanne asked as she slowly squeezed the sides of her horse, causing it trot. Park Jimin imitated Roseanne's actions and his horse also started to move a little faster.
"Scary teeth," he answered honestly. Park Jimin found their teeth big - crazy big. He was sure that a horse's bite had the capability to devour a person's arms. He better make sure not to make any mistakes or accidentally provoke the beast. Of course, he also knew that the likelihood of this happening under Roseanne's watch was low. But still...
Lucas was snickering behind them when he heard Park Jimin's reply and that irritated Roseanne even more. "Let's go ahead to the trail." Roseanne pointed ahead and gestured for Park Jimin to follow her.
Roseanne would have loved to bring him out of the park for some sightseeing but she knew that it wasn't a good idea, especially since he was still a beginner. So Roseanne decided that they would just follow the trail within the park while hoping that they would get to see some interesting sights along the way.
However, just as Park Jimin, Roseanne and Lucas were going to start on the trail, loud galloping sounds could be heard behind them and they were getting closer. The trio immediately turned their heads and immediately saw a group riders approaching them. Judging from their speed, it seemed like they were racing. But instead of passing them by, the riders were seen to be pulling on the reins of their horses to slow their horses down.
The group of riders comprising two men and two women stopped before them before they greeted Roseanne and Lucas. Roseanne immediately recognized them to be the professional horseback riding instructors hired by the park.
"And who is this fine man?" A woman whom Roseanne recognized as Suzette smiled while eyeing Park Jimin.
"That fine man is my man," Roseanne quickly answered while smiling back at the group. The group caught onto Roseanne's words immediately and gave Park Jimin a look over. All along they thought that there was something going on between Roseanne and Lucas as the two of them had gotten along really well. But when they saw Park Jimin, they knew why Lucas didn't stand a chance on the looks department alone. They didn't know that Roseanne had such a high standards for her man.
Roseanne could tell that they were checking her man out and knew what they were probably thinking inside. But that was just their own superficial thinking. Looks wasn't everything alright?
