Chapter 38 | S1: Reconciliation

Sunoo's POV

The day of the ice skating performance had finally arrived, and my nerves were all over the place, OMYGODDDDD.

As I entered the school, I could feel the weight of anticipation settling in. But the girls and Niki noticed my nervousness and surrounded me with their comforting presence.

"Don't worry, Sunoo! You've practiced so hard, you'll do great! You already applied your charms on Mr. Jung, I wouldn't doubt if you already did that to Mr. Jang too." Garam said with a reassuring smile.

"Yeah, you definitely got this!" Niki added, giving my hand a gentle squeeze.

Their words of encouragement warmed my heart, even Jungwon in botany class calmed my nerves. He could sense my anxiousness and offered me a comforting smile and a hug, assuring me that everything would be fine.

Finally, the time for ice skating class came. Niki bumped into me before I entered the room and wished me good luck. Soobin accompanied me to watch the other pairs perform, cheering me up with his playful banter and kind words. "Hey, if you continue to be nervous you might shake in the ice and fall, I know it's not that easy but try to be calm okay? Just take deep breaths. You got this!"

As the other pairs received compliments, I couldn't help but feel the pressure. But when Mr. Jang called my name to perform, I took a deep breath and stepped onto the ice. I glided and when the moment came for the jump, I felt a flutter of fear, but to my surprise, I landed it smoothly!!!

As I finished my performance, Mr. Jang awarded me with the highest score of 98.42!!! I couldn't believe it, and tears of joy welled up in my eyes.

"MY MAN KIM SUNOO! I KNEW YOU'LL NAIL IT!!!" Soobin greeted me with congratulations as we left the room, but as we stepped outside, I saw Sunghoon waiting for... someone...

"Oh and, someone else wanted to congratulate you." Soobin left us alone

"Y-You're her-" Sunghoon immediately enveloped me in a tight hug.

"I watched the whole performance, Sunoo. You were amazing," he said, he was... watching?!

I hugged him back, my emotions overflowing. "T-Thank you, Sunghoon. I appreciate i- Wait, what happened? You have so many bruises?!" I exclaimed as I saw the unbelievable amount of bruises in his face down to his neck and arms.

Sunghoon smiled softly, brushing my cheek with his thumb. "Don't worry about me. Let's focus on celebrating your success today."

Sunghoon's expression softened, and he took a deep breath before speaking again, "I also wanted to apologize, Sunoo. I know I've been a jerk and a fucking douchebag, especially with all the courting stuff. I should have respected your feelings and given you space."

"It's okay, Sunghoon," I said, trying to ease the tension. "We've both had our moments of misunderstanding and mistakes."

"But still, I'm sorry," he insisted, and I could see the sincerity in his eyes. "I want to support you and be there for you, not push you away."

"I appreciate that, Sunghoon," I replied, feeling my heart soften towards him. "Let's try to understand each other better from now on."

Sunghoon smiled, a genuine and warm smile that melted my heart. "Deal. And hey, how about I accompany you back to your dorm tonight? Just to make sure you're safe. I-I mean uhm because y-you know there are *cough* a lot of bad guys."

I chuckled and nodded, realizing that I wanted him to be there too. "Sure, that sounds nice."

We rode our bicycles to my dorm, and I suggested that Sunghoon to... "S-Sunghoon, do you want to... uhm... s-sleep here for tonight... I don't want you get beaten up by your father..."
