#.. SIXTY-EIGHT

Jiseok took all of them to the ice rink. "I want to see if I'm still able to do something" he explained with a smile, yet denied to practice on the floor before he'd go on the ice.

They went there in the morning on purpose, so it won't be that full. And they were right, they were the first to arrive. Everyone was excited, only one of them was nervous.

"I've never been skating before" Jungsu said as he hesitantly stood in front of the ice. Jiseok went ahead, sliding a few laps with the biggest smile on his face.

Jooyeon, who overheard Jungsu, chuckled. "Ain't no way, man" He said smugly as he tied up the laces for his skates. The elder looked at him, playfully upset.

"How did you expect me to go ice skating on a wheelchair?" Jooyeon was silenced, as he just looked away, clearly embarrassed.

Gunil, who stood in front of Jungsu, already on the ice, just stretched out his hands as a support. "I'll teach you, it's really not that hard" he smiled warmly.

"You say that because you used to play ice hockey" "Doesn't change the fact that I learned how to skate when I was nine. Come on, hold onto me and you'll be fine."

They indeed weren't fine. Just a few meters after Jungsu entered the ice, he slipped, making Gunil fall down with him, as it took him by surprise.

The two of them laughed loudly, helping each other to get up. "Let's go to the front and ask if they have those penguins you can hold onto" Gunil chuckled and Jungsu immediately agreed, laughing about it.

Seungmin was just standing at the side, watching Jiseok try some elements. It didn't look that bad so far, he seemed to remember how to start the jumps and so on.

The elder believed in his muscle memory. After permission of the staff, they gave him a speaker, connecting his phone to it. Seungmin knew what routine he chose the moment he heard the deep voice of Michael Bublé. Feelin Good.

Muscle memory really seemed to be a thing for Jiseok, he immediately shrugged in place, following the choreography Seungmin loved.

Jiseok used to show him videos of his competitions, his couch loved this choreography for his short program so he had plenty videos of that one.

Seungmin knew each spin, each jump, and he was more than stunned to see Jiseok perform these gracefully again. Everyone stopped their doing as Jiseok glided over the ice, performing to the sensual song.

The song seemed to have ended quickly, soon Jiseok was standing in the middle of the rink, striking his final pose before the four started applauding.

"Hyeongjun would've loved this" Jungsu sighed at the thought of their boyfriend, Gunil chuckled, wrapping his arms around Jungsu's waist as they tried it a second time. "He would've dropped on his knees for Jiseok right now"

Gunil's joke lightened up the younger's mood again. "You're right man." He got on the ice, holding onto the penguin, which was actually designed for small children to practice their balance on the ice, as he tried to get Gunil to skate next to him.

"Yo, I think Jiseungmin is selling again" Jooyeon suddenly said, stopping right in front of them as he pointed to the two, who were looking at each other with literal hearts in their eyes.

Jooyeon's thought confirmed itself as the younger between them skated towards the other, hugging him warmly. Due to the small run-up, the two slowly started spinning in their embrace. Jiseok's laughter echoed through the whole hall before he was kissed by Seungmin.

Jungsu started squealing as he was the prime witness of that event. "Y'all, I knew it!" The two parted from each other, cheeks even redder than before.

"What are you guys looking at?" Jiseok joked. "Never saw two boys kissing, homophobes?" Gunil laughed. "I beg your pardon?"

He skated closer before he stopped drastically in front of Jiseok, shaving the ice as it suddenly looked like it snowed over Jiseok - Typical ice hockey stop.

"Oh, you'll pay for this." Jiseok started hunting Gunil down, both of them skating laps, while Gunil skated for his life. Seungmin approached Jungsu, who looked lost.

"Here, let me help you" "Thanks man"
