past:

"what if i mess up again?"

"i am always there to help you."

"swear on scoups."

jeonghan chuckled and i stumbled but he was quick enough to wrap his arms around me before i could fall. 

who thought skating on ice was a fun thing to do? i might become lady Voldemort if i fall down and the fact that jeonghan looks so graceful while skating didn't help at all.

after i gave up which may or may not have been 15 minutes later, jeonghan dragged my lifeless body to an area where couples were watching sunsets. there were lines of cafes and shops behind the benches. 

"it's a beautiful place isn't it?" jeonghan said and even though i couldn't get myself to relate, i nodded. any place is beautiful when we are together.

i leaned my head on his shoulder as we marveled at the sunset. i grew up thinking such things were a waste of time but jeonghan believes rest is an important part of life and even though i find it difficult to understand his perspective, i like it when we do nothing together. these are the moments when there's nothing to distract me from just how awesome he makes me feel.

i furrowed my brows as someone appeared in front of us blocking the view. the woman looked confused and i felt annoyed as she kept turning around in the same spot.

"looks like she is lost. we should help her." jeonghan said and i realized that he was right. i was too worried of my view getting blocked to notice that she was anxious.

jeonghan went to help her while i waited for him in the same place. it took him 15 minutes and by the time he came back the sun had already dipped below the horizon and it was getting dark.

i pouted as he sat beside me with an affectionate smile. 

"what happened?" 

"you missed the sunset, we were going to see it together for good luck" i answered trying my best to make it obvious that i was sulking. jeonghan chuckled softly.

people say watching sunset together at this place means that the love between a couple will never diminish. 

"sorry she had lost her phone and everything so i took her to help center. we can watch it tomorrow if you want"

"i don't believe in superstitions anyway but aren't you annoyed you missed the sunset you came here to watch?"

he shook his head i wasn't sure if he was lying or not. isn't it frustrating that he couldn't do what he wanted to do just because he was helping someone who didn't even ask for help?

"i am glad i could make someone else's day better. you should've seen how happy she was when i offered to help."

i sighed and jeonghan looked clueless about why i was still down. 

"what happened riri?"

"why can't i think like you? my first thought is always about my own convenience."

i wish i wasn't so selfish but at the same time i don't really mind it... that's just more selfishness. it's like i have narcissism premium.

 "your friends are right when they say i am too toxic for you. i didn't even meet your parents." i pouted referring to when i accidentally heard woozi say it was strange that i didn't want to meet his family.

"they don't know you like i do" jeonghan replied calmly. unlike me he seemed relaxed and composed.

"i know it's been too long since you have been part of a family and i would never push you into something you aren't ready for."

"and what about the fact that most people think i am rude and insensitive?"

"at least you're self aware." 

i gasped and he chuckled as i hit his arm. 

"see arin, they think that way because that's the experience you give them but i get to see a side of you no one else does. under all that defensiveness, you are just someone who has craved for love all your life. and i am here to provide it to you."

it's wholesome and at the same time concerning to see that he knows me better than even i know myself.

"i want to have your mindset too but all i ever think about is food and money." i stretched my arms above my head as jeonghan chuckled and patted the top of my head adoringly.

"you don't think about me?"

"you? all the fucking time."
