Now the thing about Hyunjin, if you hadn't already guessed, is that he's very slow. Both physically and mentally- now it's not his fault! He just enjoys life in a slower pace, and maybe his laziness is also a factor of it.

Now, one disadvantage of being slow to pick things up, is that Hyunjin has never been good at understanding flirting. Being 'blessed' (Minho's words, not his) with good genetics, Hyunjin has always known he was attractive. Obviously not up to the scale of models or celebrities- but he can acknowledge he has a nice face- therefore he's no stranger to the occasional flirting or going on datea.

But he can never quite understand that it's flirting, until he's in far too deep.

For example:

"No Hyunjin!" Changbin groaned, for the seventh time in the span of a few hours, "You need to kick off to actually move on the board! You can't just shimmy the entire time!"

For the last few hours the three teenagers have (tried) to practise skateboarding- although what had come out of that was a water fight, running away from a swarm of bees and up until now, legs interlocked as they basked in the afternoon son.

The private school boy dropped his head in embarrassment, not quite succeeding at his impromptu skate boarding lesson. In all fairness, he had never been allowed to touch a skateboard, let alone actually get on one. Who knew you needed to have a good sense of balance?!

"Here let me help." Changbin then said, moving to stand behind Hyunjin, "I'll hold you steady- all you need to do is kick the ground to move forward."

Slowly, Changbin encircled Hyunjin's waist, hands holding his flailing body in place.

Blood rushed to his cheeks at the intimate gesture, and unbeknownst to him, Felix watched the situation with amused eyes. The corner of his lips lifted into a small smirk, as he moved to stand in front of a wobbly Hyunjin.

"Here Hyunjin," he said, "Give me your hands."

Hesitantly but obediently (also scared of falling) Hyunjin reached out with his hands infront of his, fingertips tingling when Felix intertwined their hands. Gripping tightly, Felix began to pull Hyunjin forward, as Changbin held his waist.

"There we go, nice and steady, you're doing great." Changbin muttered behind him, although Hyunjin was far to flustered to reply.

At that moment, Hyunjin briefly started to realise that this didn't seem like skating anymore.

"Okay, now kick!" Felix supplied helpfully, as if what he and his boyfriend were doing wasn't more than a little distracting.

However, Hyunjin did as he was told.

And consequently, failed terribly. The usual.

Chan had sat quietly on the ground a couple feet away, watching the scene with a grimace. Hyunjin had, unsurprisingly, kicked a little too hard- and straight into Changbin's shin- who let him go in pain. Due to this unbalance, the board slid forward, making Hyunjin fall back ontop of the already in pain Changbin. As he fell he pulled a startled Felix down with them because of their to intertwined hands- further injuring a distressed Changbin at the bottom of the puppy pile.

For a split second the entire park was silent, watching the affair with hesitant eyes, wondering how they would react.

It was Hyunjin who snorted first, before letting out an adorable (Chan thought, as his heart clenched at the boys cresent eyes) laughter that was instantly infectious. Changbin soon followed with his signature high pitched laughter along with Felix's giggle.
