20 cm || Choi Yeonjun

20

After 20 minutes of just being on the sides, I have somehow miraculously learned how to do it. I have never felt so accomplished. I might actually cry. Yeonjun patiently taught me how to balance and manoeuvre the skates.

He was an excellent teacher. His patience was incredibly long for teaching someone who had bad eye and body coordination. It really surprised me that I was this bad in doing something so simple. Even the six year old on my left side was doing better than me.

"Try moving on your own this time." Yeonjun shifted to the side to give me space. "Hey. You're underestimating me now." I huffed, rolling my eyes.

I did it anyway. I skated to the other side of the rink and even did a spin when I went back to him. "How will you grade that, Teacher Choi?" I exaggeratedly said with a fake accent. Circling him, now taunting.

"Better than when you were kissing the floor 10 minutes ago." My jaw dropped.

"YOU DID NOT JUST GO THERE." He quickly ran like an animal sensing danger. I charged towards him.

"CHOI YEONJUN! YOU GET BACK HERE." Our chasing later on became a game of tag. We were both panting and sweating hard when we sat on the bench. My stomach was aching from laughing too much. My legs were also numb.

It felt like we were back to being kids. The last time I was this happy was when Hoseok oppa still had time to play with me. And that was 8 years ago. After he told my family that he was going to be a trainee, his time with me became less and less until I couldn't even see him go home anymore. Even during high school I had difficulties in making friends because news instantly spread that I was J-hope's sister. It was either people avoided me or used me to get closer to my brother and his group. It stayed that way until I graduated. That was why I swore to never tell that I was related to him. Not unless I fully trusted a person.

"Hey. Let's get going. I'm hungry." Yeonjun put his arm on my shoulder breaking me from my train of thoughts. He turned to me smiling.

"We'll get you your favourite." He excitedly added, eyes shining.

When I checked the time, it was already 4:00 in the afternoon. We both decided to try a different place so now we're here in a famous bingsu place. We were seated in the back of the restaurant to avoid drawing attention and being recognised.

"How was it so far?" Yeonjun asked in a small voice. Now nervous as he nibbled on his lower lip.

"You act as if this is your first ever date." I said laughing. "But it was super fun." I cheered. Yeonjun remained silent. His gaze lowered and he was playing with the glass of water. Oh no. Don't tell me. . .

"This is your first date." I stated. My eyes went wide at the realisation. Oh my god. I was the first girl he ever dated.
