Lucky Coin

Chapter 6

Taehyung and Jimin both froze from the new voice that stood beside them. They slowly turned their heads to look up at a tall, handsome man with a crutch looking down at them in mild amusement.

"I'm here to get things ready for tomorrow, I did not expect to see some of the competitors on the floor doing, err... that." The man motioned to the two as a whole.

"It's to help the stress." Taehyung defended them and their behavior.

"You're...youre.." Jimin stared up at the man with shock.

"Hot." Taehyung said to finished Jimin's lost sentence, which in turn only made him receive a smack.

"That's Kim Namjoon you idiot!" Jimin cried out.

Kim Namjoon was a former ice skater that was well respected and looked up to. He had built ice skating in Korea and even represented the country in multiple international competitions. Unfortunately, his career had ended early do to a hard fall that resulted in a hip injury. It was a miracle he was still able to walk around, but he still needed the support of a crutch to help endure his weight.

"Wait. Like, THE Kim Namjoon?" Taehyung questioned to make sure he heard right.

"Olympic silver medalist in 2007? Yeah!" Jimin quickly got off of Taehyung and stood up to properly meet his idol.

Namjoon chuckled watching the two scurry to their feet with eyes sparkling in admiration. Young skaters always greeted him in a simular fashion after he had hung up his skates.

"We worship you!"

"I have a picture of you in my room!"

"I'm honored." Namjoon chuckled at the two then went of his way to find the sound board.

Taehyung watched as Namjoon limped away, soon finding the place he was searching for. He looked over a Jimin in question, not completely aware of why Namjoon had the limp. Jimin caught his look and answered without asking.

"He fell last year."

"How bad...?"

"Really bad. He can't skate anymore because of it." Jimin explained in a depressed tone.

The fall had happened at a competition the previous year. Footage of the fall was painful enough to make anyone cringe. Namjoon had misjudged his jump and it sent him flying into the air with a hard landing right on his hip. In some recordings, the viewer could see his wife, who was also competing, jump onto the ice after hearing his cry in agonizing pain.

Taehyung read Jimin's sad emotion from the following silence then stepped towards him and engulfed him into a hug. Jimin returned the hug absorbing the comfort from it before questioning his friend's actions.

"What's wrong?"

"I just don't want you to ever get hurt like that." Taehyung sighed as he voiced his concern.

"I won't, don't worry." Jimin reassured him.

"So, are you two in a relationship?" The curious voice of Namjoon returned.

"AHA."

"UH..."

"Me and him?! AHAHA"

"Best Friends!"

The two nervously explained as the faced Namjoon once again. Both had the same panicked expression that made it seem as if they were completely in sync with each other.

"You were just-" Namjoon started but was quickly cut off by Taehyung.

"Finding his sexuality."

"Oh. Well did you find it?"

"Yeah, I'm gay." Jimin answered with a shrug, which earned a chuckle from Namjoon.

Needless to say, the two boys were highly entertaining to Namjoon. He wanted to ask more about what their friendship entailed, but a young girl's voice called out to him making him turn around with a smile. He bent down as far as his body would allow him to catch the little girl with dimples into his arms.

"Princess!" He called to her as he picked her small body up into his arms.

"Daddy! I found you." The girl giggled. Taehyung melted along with Jimin as they watched the former Olympian enact with the girl that could not have been older than 4. Namjoon laughed and spun her around, leaning most of his weight onto his good side.

"I. Am. Dying." Jimin commented to himself earning a nod of agreement from Taehyung.

A women with a skaters body and long dark hair walked up to them. Beautiful from every angle, from her round face, to her large boobs, to her thick legs. Her eyes were identical to the little girl's as they both found interest in Namjoon.

"So that's where she ran off to." She smiles brushing her long hair back behind her shoulders.

Namjoon smiled at her innocently and pecked her lips when she made her way to his side. The little girl giggled again and waved at the lady.

"Look Stella, your favorite young skate is here. Jimin." Namjoon told the little girl, catching Jimin off guard.

"Me?!" Jimin's jaw dropped.

"She adores you." The women smiled.

Jimin accidently let out a scream then quickly covered his mouth. It wasn't always that your role model's daughter would come out as a personal fan.

"Introduce yourself sweetie." Namjoon encouraged.

"Hello! My name is Stella." The little girl said with a shy giggle.

"Hi Stella! I'm Jimin." He smiled at her.

"She's learning how to skate too. She saw you skating before when my wife, Ailee" Namjoon nodded to the women next to him. "was taking her to practice. You caught her eye out of any other skater she saw out there. She'll be cheering you on."

"Park Jimin fighting!" Stella cheered with a smile directed at Jimin.

"Fighting!" Jimin smiled at her right as his phone buzzed. He retrieved his phone from his pocket and read the text. "Ah, my parents want me home."

"You need to be better at sneaking out-" Taehyung paused seeing the small family listening to him. "I MEAN-"

"Ohhh, you need rest before competition." Namjoon commented.

"Tired skating can be dangeroud." Ailee added in agreement. Taehyung took a second for her words to register before a spike of anxiety hit.

"Yeah! Come on Jimin. Let's get you home!"

"Byebye!" Stella waved.

Namjoon wished him good luck on tomorrow's competition as Taehyung picked up Jimin's forgotten shirt that was discarded previously and handed it to him. Jimin put it shirt back on with a cheeky smile. With one final good bye, Jimin quickly ran with Taehyung by his side.

"WE JUST MET-"

"THE GREATEST SKATER EVER." Jimin cried finishing Taehyung statement as they raced to get back to Jimin house.
