I practiced my axel jump, and when the clock strikes 4, I changed my skates to my shoes, then grab my bag as I quickly ran out of the gym.

"What's wrong with him? He always goes home late," My instructor commented.

I went straight to the train station and waited for her arrival. I always keep checking the time so that I will be with her even when we go home.

It was about a quarter to 6 when she showed up.

I always go home at this time... but why can't I see her?

We entered the train together.

She rushed to the remaining seat in the middle, and I stood up, but also she ended up standing because she saw an old lady having no seat left.

I was practically observing her when I saw this guy is reaching for her pocket sneakily.

I pushed myself to the crowd and blocked his hand. I met her eyes; her eyes are shining like the stars. I clearly saw her blushed as she looked at me, standing beside her.

"I'm sorry... I just saw someone reaching your pocket" I smiled in front of her, yet all she did was a bow and didn't even say thank you to me.

My jacket is still safe; she tied it on her little waistline

The train suddenly stopped, and the people pushed her to me. I supported her by holding her shoulders to keep her steady

Passengers have no respect today because they push someone in front of them to get out

We are put in an awkward position because it feels like I was embracing her

I let her go as I sat down at a vacant seat in front of me. No other seats were remaining besides here, to my right side, but she insists on standing up

"What are you doing?" I ask her

"It might be uncomfortable if I sit beside you" her face is turning red as she speaks.

The train started moving again, and she almost falls. That's when I pulled her beside me.

"Much comfortable, isn't it?" I smiled

She covered her face up and just nodded to my question

"Ohh~ we're going to the same school?" I pretended and pointed at her school ID

"I think so too" she awkwardly smiled at me

"Are you an athlete...or??" I keep on starting a conversation to let her feel that I am comfortable being with

"Hm.. ye-yeah?.. I am a ballerina" she held her neck

"Then... did you know that ballerina's and a figure skater are perfectly compatible with each other?" I jokingly said

Her face turned red, and I find it cute though

"Oh.. yeah?..." she rubs the back of her head

My stop is coming near. I wonder where is her place located

The next stop... I stood up and went out of the train; she also got out

"Wah! What a coincidence.. do you live in this neighborhood too?" I asked

She giggled and replied... "Just 2 blocks away from your house" she slipped her tongue

"Oh really... then that's good news" I observe her foot is not doing okay

"Do you need a lift?" I stopped her. "Ballerina's foot is important to them," I told her

"It's okay... I can handle it," she said and grabbed the railings to help her walk up

I can't think about anything, but I carried her bridal style

"Yah! What are you doing?" She was shocked about what I did

I put her down and reach for my backpack. I removed her shoe and saw her foot was swollen

"Why can't you take care of yourself.. ballerina's are fragile, you know" I reached for the ointment in my bag and applied it on her foot, then I covered it up with a bandage. I even signed it. Get well soon ballerina-Sunghoon

"Why are you so nice to me? Do you even know me?" She asked

"If someone needs help.  Then I am willing to accept it" I gave her a smile

"I can continue by myself now," she said as she picks her bag beside her

"You can't move your foot for about a day or two," I told her, and then she almost loses her balance because of a rock

Gladly I hold her hands, then I quickly fixed my bag to her back and giving her a piggyback ride

"Yah! Put me down" she keeps on moving.

"Don't do that... you are making it harder for me" as I told her that, she stopped and just held on to my shoulders, not crossing her arms.

I jokingly bowed, and it made her hold on tight to me

"That's much better" I wickedly smiled

"Have you tried figure skating?" I asked her out of the blue

"Yep.. when my mom applied me for a lesson 4 years ago" by her response, it made her somewhat comfortable to be with me

"Isn't it tiring?? Being a ballerina than a figure skater?" I asked her

"Since.. it makes my mom happy and proud to have a daughter like me.. it is not tiring at all," she responded

"We're almost there.. please point at your house," I told her, which made her shock

"How can I make sure that you're not a scammer, or rather how can you know if I am really a good person?" She said

"Are you having trust issues?" I laughed

"My house is just over there," I pointed without hesitation

"Just walk to that house with a white fence and a flowering garden over there" she gave up and just told me where

I opened the fence and knocked at the door. Her mom opened it, and she was shocked about it. Making me drop her in the place

"Your daughter seems to hurt her foot

"Your daughter seems to hurt her foot. I help her out because she can't move it properly," I explained and took a bow. Running out of her place.
