That's Why I Leave

Because I love music, so here some mood:

"Err... I'm sorry about that. His friends are kinda... Overly attached to him,"

Both of you and Nayeon are sitting on the bench with only socks on your feet while watching Jimin practically being dragged away by Taehyung and Jungkook who popped up out of nowhere. Your brows are knitted together as you observe a struggling Jimin being sandwiched in between Tae and Jungkook as they skate together. How ridiculous these kids actually can be?

You quickly tuck the skating shoes on and get on your feet. Namjoon likes skating. Namjoon loves it. Every time Namjoon visits you in your boarding school or at your house in Ilsan, Namjoon will always take you to skating rinks. You have gotten used to skating as Namjoon started it as a hobby ever since he was a toddler. With all of those years gliding and playing on the ice floor, your skills have been perfected, enough to feel comfortable to skate in high velocity without feeling scared of slipping of.

When Nayeon seems like struggling with her pair of shoes, you take no time to drop on one knee, extending your hands to give a hand on doing her shoes.

"Here, let me do it for you,"

Nayeon attempts to recline your offer initially but she is met with your stubborn side, as you continue helping her with her shoes. The action, somehow, manages to paint hue on her already blushed cheeks, but she's not really certain for whatever the reason is. Is it because of the coldness of the mall that is biting her skin? Or is it because of the embarrassment she has to endure as she is lacking with basic skating skills? Or is it because of your sweet and caring action towards her?

Let's just stop confusing her own mind and enjoy what is happening now, shall we?

After done with her shoes, you jolt upwards and stand on your feet.

"Ready to skate, unnie?" you smile sweetly to her, as she mirrors your action.

Well, this unnie isn't that shady. You think, when you can't find a hint of annoyance or exasperation in her smile. It is a genuine, sincere one, which you do appreciate it. It is odd, when you think about it again that she used to throw daggers on you when all of you were still in the house. Well, maybe you judge her too quick for that, you guess.

Nayeon bites her lower lip as she tries to stand on her feet, before she loses her balance and about to trip off. However, you are quick enough to pull the shorter's arm and take a grip on her petite waist. Cursing under her breath, Nayeon clenches her hands tightly on the fabric on your shoulders. She is fully acknowledged that she has never skated in her whole life before, but of course there's a reason why she chose to go ice skating on the first place. So she can hold onto Jimin's hands or purposely trip onto Jimin's body while skating.

Yet, as she realizes, having you as a replacement of Jimin's position isn't a bad idea at all.

"Do you know how to skate, unnie?" you try to find her eyes as she is dropping her gaze on the ice floor, too shy to lift her chin. You chuckle when the shorter timidly shakes her head.
