"Hey Jisung!" Mirae waved at him. Jisung was fast to notice her across the street and ran towards her.

"Hey," He said, out of breath. Mirae eyed him from top to bottom. He had ladened himself with atleast a dozen layers. His small cheeks were puffed up in pink and so was his nose. 

"You look a weird combination of sick and excited," Mirae laughed and crossed her arms infront of her chest particularly because it was a rainy day and the winds were blowing more violently than ever.

Jisung snickered. "Can't pass on free passes to ice rink, can I?"

Mirae shook her head in exasperation. Jisung was the kind who would climb mountains with a broken leg and then get back down just to ask the guide, 'Where was the peak?'

It didn't mean he wasn't observant. Jisung was the one who noticed she always bought the strawberry milkshake and the blueberry pastry everytime they went to their meeting place and so he always has it ordered prior to her arrival now.

"By the way, this is Sinae.. the girl who's always in my Instagram stories," Mirae chuckled quoting him from the last day while introducing Jisung to her. "And, this is Jisung. My anatomy project partner."

"And also who's taking two women out today." Jisung sticked out his palm in front of Sinae. She let out an awkward laugh while shaking hands with him eyeing Mirae who couldn't fake a laugh.

"So that is why you wanted me to bring her? So you can brag about it?" She crossed her arms across her chest in a playful manner as Jisung chuckled scratching his nape.

They were waiting for the bus for over fifteen minutes. She wasn't bored yet, but she also wasn't patient. She had already 'tsked' way more times than necessary.

"We can take a cab you know..." Jisung nudged her. "I'll pay, since I'm the, you know, man ."

A part of Mirae wanted to say no to this because she would never let the other pay for her. She was very righteous and stubborn when it came to paying. She can't sit and eat on other people's money even if their pocket money was ten times more than hers. Also, he said he should pay since he is the man. That was extra nonsensical.

But she considered the weather. Also, the time. If they don't reach before 12 pm, the coupon would be invalid. 

"Okay," She nodded after thinking. "But we'll divide the cab fee."

Jisung shook his head but did not make a fuss about it. He had an idea that she won't agree to his proposal of paying so he just showed her a thumbs up and commented, "The cab back is on me." 

"Only if it rains," She trodded beside him as Jisung took out his phone to book a cab.

The place was big.

It was funny how they could play around for three hours in a place this big without having to pay a single penny. Jisung was really the best!

"I told you!" Mirae heard him shouting as he sped beside her, seemingly doing well even though he was ill. "This place is great."

Mirae haven't been to any ice rink ever since she came to Seoul. Simply because she didn't know how to skate. But when she said she didn't wanted to pass on a free coupon, she did mean it because right now she was fumbling with the skates.

She wasn't able to move even after holding the side rails. Jisung and Sinae were already going on rounds and another while she was stuck at the entrance. Suddenly she felt a pair of cold hands touch hers. She turned around to see Bora standing there, holding her hands.
