The Sky and You

Chapter 6: A Lasting Memory

"Yaaahhhhhh!!! Tan, get out of the way!" Belle was screaming her lungs out. She was going down so fast and her body is starting to shake, though she was trying her best to maintain her balance. She swerved then bam... face down in the snow. Her friends Abby and Tanya were laughing at her while helping her up.

"How was it? Fun right?" Abby cheered.

"No more. Seriously I am going to die... or maybe, I'll be going back home in a wheelchair. No more," she resigned.

Skiing is quite fun but going down the red slope was a little bit too much for her. It was so steep and she was going too fast she thought she was going to die. Adrenaline was rushing over her but once she realize she was going too fast and she needed to stop, she might have overreacted, panicked and her nervousness got the best of her and so she went rolling down the snow.

A smile appeared on Keun Suk's lips while looking at the three girls having a snowball fight. They seem to be making fun of Belle after she fell from her ski.

"Mata o ai shimashitane," (we meet again) he then went and greeted Belle.

The snow balls froze in their hands and all three girls looked at him with same blank expressions. He laughed and took off his googles.

"Kyahhh..." the girl in pink beanie shrieked, next thing he knew, she was already hugging him. "Keun Suk Oppa, in person. Oh my gosh!" The other girl pulled her away from him but he just laughed at them. He looked at Belle and he smiled when recognition and shock registered all over her face.

"Hi Cri," he greeted once again and she broke into a smile.

"Op-, Keun Suk Oppa, hello," she hesitated and smiled shyly again.

There she go with her blush, she look so cute. "Your friends?" he ask.

"Ahh, yeah... this is Abby," she said, the girl with pink beanie enthusiastically received his hand, "and Tanya" she pointed to the girl who grabbed Abby earlier. He shook her hand as well. He remembered her to be the girl next to Belle on the lift up the Tokyo tower.

"Nice meeting you guys. I guess you all know me already," he started teasing Belle who seemed to have wanted to sink into the snow.

"Ahh yes Oppa, of course we know about you. Someone told us a lot, right Belle?" Abby said and smiled knowingly at Belle, she seemed to be the little bully in the group.

"Ha ha ha. By the way, are you going up?"

"Yes we are. Let's go. I really wanted to try it." Said Abby who was looking encouragingly at both Tanya and Belle.

"We are still beginners, we can't go there yet," Tanya said and Belle looked like she wanted to hug Tanya. She really looked afraid it was so cute.

"Oh common, its going to be fun, besides my friends are there... we could all teach you... and..." he looked at Belle before continuing, " Kurt is there too," he said suggestively. He laughed when Belle bit her lips. "Let's go."

"Let's go," seconded Abby who was far more excited than the other two.

Sapporo Bankei Ski Area is so beautiful. Up the lift, all they could see is pure white snow and its just a breathtaking view. Keun Suk and his friends arrived a day early in Sapporo when he realized he wanted to see Belle again. It wasn't even hard to convince them to come up here and ski. Luckily, he told Belle that Bankei Ski Area is a good place to ski and close to the heart of Sapporo so it wasn't hard to find them in spite the masks and googles worn by the people in the resort.

Kurt and the others was surprised when he came back with some girls. Kwang Soo let out how he managed to catch some fish even when they are in the snowy mountains. Everyone welcomed the girls and they seemed to be getting along well and fine, except for Belle, who was quiet and seemz to be taking secret glances on Kurt. Unconsciously, he just suddenly dragged her away from the group.
