getting off of the bus, jungkook and taehyung took a short walk to the skating rink where their 'hangout' will officially take place.

"hurry up!" jungkook called, running in front of taehyung and grabbing his hand in the process.

"i'm coming! slow down." taehyung laughs fondly while being dragged by an actual child.

when the boys reach the ice rink, jungkook realises that he's still holding taehyung's large hand and quickly lets go, raising the same hand to the back of his neck which turns red along with his cheeks and tips of his ears.

"uh, lets go get skates..." jungkook trails off, looking away sheepishly. "okay, angel." taehyung laughs loudly as jungkook scurries off to the counter to get skates for the both of them.

"what's your shoe size?" jungkook asks timidly, still not making eye contact. "9." taehyung nearly cackles at jungkook's wide eyes but manages to compose himself.

after the boys get their skates and put them on, struggling to tie them tight enough, they both stagger towards the ice rink, almost falling several times and having to hold onto each other.

"okay, okay. we made it. now we just have to not sl-" jungkook almost falls flat on his ass if it weren't for taehyung's arm secured around his small waist.

"thanks.." jungkook shyly mumbled, hiding his face. "are you okay? you're really red." taehyung laughed, his arms still around jungkook's waist as he side hugged him across the ice.

"m'fine. can you, uh, let go? please?" jungkook mumbled again, gesturing down to taehyung's large hands. "sorry.." the older let go of his waist and watched how jungkook immediately started losing his balance.

as taehyung tried to reach out for the younger, jungkook put his hands up and yelled "i'm getting this!" and swatted taehyung's hands away.

chuckling, taehyung let the boy be. watching him flailing around was highly enjoyable so he sat back and waited for him to gain his balance.

"are you done?" taehyung laughed when jungkook's face turned bright red. "uh- yeah."

"wanna go round the ring to get the hang of it?" taehyung asked, reaching his arm out and extending his hand for jungkook to take. "sure.." jungkook looked up at the older boy with glittery, innocent eyes.

"c'mon then." taehyung gripped jungkook's smaller hand and started to skate around the outside of the ice rink, jungkook desperately hugging the border of the rink until taehyung assured him that if he falls, taehyung will either go with him or help him back up.

after skating and falling every two minutes, the two boys grew an appetite and decided to go for food in McDonald's.

call it flirting or whatever but the two shared food and fed each other almost the full time they were there earning a few glances, some judging, some thinking it's cute but they didn't care and carried on being themselves for the rest of the day until they got back to their dorms.

taehyung took jungkook back to his dorm and decided to stay the night since it was friday.

jungkook completely forgot about the art folder next to his bed.
