Some days passed since I said yes to Baekhyun's favor. I didn't exactly say yes, but who cares. We didn't do anything special. I'd say we didn't even do anything. The only thing that changed was that we always go together to school every morning and at break he usually sits next to me at the tree and says nothing. It isn't even that bad, he's somehow actually very quiet. We got a bit used to each other, even though it's still awkward sometimes. But after that one kiss on the first day of our relationship, he didn't kiss me again. He just holds hands with me quietly, nothing else.

I went into the classroom and sat down at my desk. Just like always. But guess what; there was a letter on my desk. I opened it and just as expected, Baekhyun wrote it. We already exchanged our phone numbers... so why didn't he just text me? I read the letter quietly.

Hello Chanyeol,

Let's do something together after school. You have to think of something. And don't let it be boring!

-Baekhyun

What was I going to do? He speaks of a date, right? I don't know anything about dates!

After some thinking I just put the letter in my bag and the lesson began.

After the school I still didn't even have a clue what I could do with Baekhyun. I had some ideas, but I thought those were lame or not enough. And I felt really guilty when I saw Baekhyun walking towards me with a smiling face.

"And? What are we going to do?", he said and gave me a smile. I looked at the ground and felt embarassed. I didn't see, but I felt that his smile vanished. "I'm sorry.", I whispered. "I couldn't think of something that we can do..."
"But you still tried to have an idea, right?", he asked.
"Yes... I did."
"Then that's enough for me, I already planned something, in case you couldn't think of something.", he looked at me with happy eyes. He was happy because I tried to think of something and didn't ignore him. I smiled at him.

When we arrived at the place he wanted to go to, I was surprised and looked at him. "Ice skating?", I asked curiously. "Yes, when I was little I always went to this place. But when I got older I quit ice skating. But I regret it now... Even though I can't start to go here regularly anymore, I wanted to come here one time with you.", he explained with a soft voice. I wanted to ask why he couldn't come here regularly anymore, but the fact that he still wanted to come here with me... surprised me. Why does he even like me?

"Now come! You think too much.", he said, grabbed my hand and ran inside with me.

Now I was standing here. On the ice, with ice skates on and shaking because I couldn't ice skate. I totally forgot that.

Where is Baekhyun? He takes so long... He actually was a little slow at everything he did. Right after thinking this, my eyes caught a person who was ice skating very prettily and professional. It was Baekhyun. He skated to my direction and asked: "What are you doing? Don't just stand on one spot. We're here for ice skating!" He grabbed my hand and tried to move me, but I quickly stopped. That caused Baekhyun to fall down. "Baekhyun!", I quickly tried to 'go' to him, but it ended up with me also falling down. I tried to get up, but then I fell. Again!

And then suddenly I heard Baekhyun chuckle. I calmed down by hearing him laugh, because I could push the thought that he might got hurt away. "You know, you could've told me that you can't ice skate.", he laughed. I looked away and felt myself blushing. Then he stood up, skated to me and wanted me to reach out my hand. I slowly reached out and he helped me up. "Let me show you how to skate.", he said to me, eyes turning into crescents while smiling. I just said nothing and nodded. Then he slowly moved one foot and the other one. "Try to make the same moves as me. Just imagine you glide over the ice.", I tried it and after a while I got better. I was concentrating on my feet and didn't watch out, so I almost bumped into someone. "S-sorry...", I just mumbled and wanted to get away quickly. But Baekhyun stood behind me so I bumped into him, but before we both fell down, again, I put my arms around his body and held him. We stood for some seconds like that, then I suddenly realized that we were 'hugging' and created some space between us. Baekhyun just smiled at me and took my hand. He started to skate over the ice, together with me.

After a very long time of ice skating we went out of the hall and made our way to the direction of my home. It was already dark. We were holding hands again. I looked down to our hands, then Baekhyun squeezed my hand. I looked up at his face. "Thank you for today. I really had fun.", he softly said. I just nodded. "Should I bring you home? It's late.", I suggested. "Mh... No, no thanks. You don't even know where I live and it's already very late, I also live a far away.", he answered, but somehow it seemed like he was lying. I said nothing. When we arrived at my house, he let go of my hand. "Good night, Yeol.", he called me Yeol. I never had a nickname. My face heated up and on top of that, he kissed me. On my lips. My body just freezed, so I couldn't do anything. After he ended the kiss, he turned around and started to walk away. Some steps later he turned around again and waved at me. I suddenly could move again and waved back. Then I wanted to go inside, but something bothered me. Why would Baekhyun lie at me? I decided to follow him. I went after him some time without being noticed, then he turned around and went into a garden of a house. That must've been his house. I waited some time and after he didn't show up anymore, I went home.

But I didn't know that he knew I was following him and went into that garden on purpose.

That day, he actually went to a hospital after I went home.
