In Time | HyungWonho

Chapter 13

"Do you have your gloves?" Hoseok asks worried, while he studies youngers outfit. It's 11 in the morning and the two boys are getting ready to go on their first date.

"It's not that cold Hoseok." Hyungwon smiles.

"But I don't want you to freeze Hyungwon." Hoseok pouts. "You need your hands to keep yourself balanced on the ice. They will get cold soon."

"You can hold them, if they get too cold." Hyungwon grins. He tries being a bit more confident around Hoseok and from time to time he teases him a little bit. Hoseok shakes his head in amusement and takes a few quick steps in direction of the drawer in the hallway. It takes him a few moments to find, what he is looking for, but when he is done Hyungwon immediately has a nice pair of grey gloves on his fingers.

"I will hold your hands, but you can't stop me from giving you gloves. It's cold outside Hyungwon." He scolds the younger boy, with a teasing smile.

"Alright, alright mom."

Hoseok just shakes his head, puts the keys into his bag and looks at Hyungwon. "Are you ready?"

"I am, we can leave." The younger boy answers still smiling. He carefully grabs Hoseoks hands and places a soft kiss on his cheeks. Before Hyungwon can move to far from Hoseoks face, the older boy pulls him closer once more and places his lips on Hyungwons, to kiss him properly.

"Now we're ready." Hoseok winks and pulls Hyungwon outside. The younger boy is still stunned by the kiss and lets Hoseok do.

They quickly walk downstairs, in the direction of Hoseoks car. Inside, Hoseok turns on loud music and both boy start singing out their heart, the whole way to the ice skating hall. When they get out, Hoseok grabs Hyungwons hand again. The two boys receive a few confused glares, but they ignore it. Nothing can destroy their own bubbly world.

"Hoseok I am afraid to fall." Hyungwon whines, as soon as they step into the ice skating hall and Hyungwon sees the huge area full of ice. "I am sure, I will break all my bones. Honestly."

"You won't, because I will hold you." Hoseok smiles at the younger boy and shows him quick thumbs up, before the step into the line to get their tickets.

Waiting takes longer than expected, but around 15 minutes later they got their tickets and a pair of skates each. Slowly they walk over to the benches, sit down and carefully put their shoes on. Before stepping on the ice, Hoseok explains Hyungwon the most important things he must pay attention to. Hyungwon tries to take a few careful steps, tries to balance on the shoes and slowly walks over to the ice.

Hoseok slowly gets on the frozen ground first and holds his hands in Hyungwons direction. The other boy quickly grabs them and takes small steps on the ice. More walking than skating, Hyungwon tries to balance himself, without accidently pushing Hoseok too much. With one hand grabbing the delimitation and the other one holding Hoseoks, Hyungwon slowly tries to skate forwards.

"I don't think, I'm going to be good at ice skating ever." Hyungwon says after they finished their first round, already completely exhausted.

"You've been standing on ice for 10 minutes now. Of course, you won't be able to skate like a pro now." Hoseok answers, slightly grinning. "But don't give up now. I bet you will have the hang on it soon."

"I doubt it."

"Don't be so self-critical." Hoseok pouts. "I am here to help you and together we can make it, believe me."

Hyungwon crunches his teeth and looks up to Hoseok, who still smiles brightly. "Are you sure?"

"I am very sure about this my dear." Hoseok answers smiling.
