✧*̥˚ chapter nine *̥˚✧

The crisp, cold air filled Jisung's lungs as he walked into the ice skating rink. It was currently halfway through march, and spring had just started. As he entered the main area, he saw a certain brunette sitting on a bench, scrolling on his phone. Jisung walked up to him and as Minho looked at him, a smile immediately made its way onto his face.

''Sung! You're right on time!'' Minho said and stood up from the bench, making his way over to Jisung to engulf him in a big hug.

''Hi Min! I'm so excited! I've never actually been ice skating before.'' Jisung said as he wrapped his arms around the elder.

''Ooh, I'll teach you then! I haven't been skating that much, but I can move quite properly hehe.'' Minho said with a smile.

''Alrighty! Did you take ice skates with you?'' Jisung asked. Minho hummed and nodded his head, signaling he brought them.

''How about you?'' Minho asked.

''No, I didn't have any so I figured i'd just rent them here.'' Jisung said with a gummy smile plastered on his face.

''Ah, makes sense. Let's go to the skate rental then!'' Minho said and grabbed Jisung's hand, pulling him towards the rental stall.

After they had gotten Jisung's ice skates and put them on, it was time to go onto the ice. Minho went on first, getting used to the feeling of the ice, while Jisung was trembling at the edge of the rink, holding onto the railing for dear life.

Minho skated back towards Jisung and reached out his hand to the younger.

''Come on! I swear it's fun!'' Minho said as Jisung grabbed onto his hand.

The two slowly made their way across the rink, Jisung occasionally falling over and pulling Minho down with him. After about fifteen minutes, Jisung was visibly getting better at keeping his balance. He was able to independently skate across the rink at a slow pace.

''See? You're a natural talent Ji!'' Minho cheered him on.

After another hour, the two were exhausted and headed out of the skating rink. Minho checked his watch and it was only 15:21, so they still had some time left.

''Do you wanna go get ice cream? There's a really good place nearby.'' Minho asked.

''In march?'' Jisung giggled. ''Sure, I love ice cream!''

It was a ten minute walk and somewhere along the way, Jisung's hand had found its way into Minho's. Once they finally reached the ice cream shop, neither of them let go. They went inside and looked at the flavors and decided what to order.

''I'll take two scoops of mint chocolate chip please.'' Minho said.

''On a cone or in a cup?'' The cashier asked.

''A cup please.''

''And what would you like?'' The cashier said as she turned her head to face Jisung.

''I'll take one scoop of matcha and one scoop of chocolate on a cone please.'' Jisung said.

''Alright! Will you be paying together or separately?''

''Sepa-'' Jisung started, but Minho interrupted him.

''Together please.'' Minho said with a smile as he fished his wallet out of his coat pocket.

After they got their ice cream, they sat down on a bench right out front of the store.

''You didn't have to pay for my ice cream Min!'' Jisung whined.

''It's fine! I asked you out on a date after all, so I should treat you to something.'' Minho said with a smirk.

''Okayyy... but I'm treating you to something next time!'' Jisung protested.

''Next time?'' Minho teasingly quirked up a brow.

''Uhm I mean..'' Jisung started.

''I was just kidding Sungie! I'd love to do this again sometime..'' Minho said.

''Me too..'' Jisung mumbled while taking a bit of ice cream.

''Great!'' Minho exclaimed.

The two finished their ice cream and it was time to say goodbye. Minho pulled Jisung into a long hug. As they were pulling away, Jisung lingered, staring at Minho's lips. Minho took notice of this and also looked at Jisung's lips, then up at his eyes.

''May I?'' Minho asked and got a curt nod in response. He immediately pulled Jisung into a soft kiss, not too long, but obviously filled with their feelings for one another. Once they pulled away, Jisung awkwardly hid his face behind his hands. He took a deep breath and faced Minho.

''Minho, I have to ask you something.'' Jisung said.

''Go ahead!'' Minho said, still feeling euphoric from their kiss.

''Min, I've liked you for quite a while now. The first time we spoke, you were just so nice and charming and I couldn't help but fall for you. I was way too shy to confess though, so I decided to chat with you through instagram. We got way closer than I expected. You asked to meet up, I agreed.. and now we're here! What I'm trying to say is, I really really really like you, Lee Minho. Will you be my boyfriend?'' Jisung asked, not breaking eye contact once. Minho's mouth immediately transformed into a huge smile as he threw himself onto Jisung.

''Of course! I really really really like you too. I even had a double crush on you! I still can't believe it's you.. Gosh, I am so happy I met you Sungie!'' Minho excitedly responded. Both of them smiled at eachother, knowing this was exactly what their hearts desired; to be together.
