The group arrived at the skating rink

The group arrived at the skating rink. Lucas is currently talking to the front desk to check in.

"Do any of you know how to skate?" Doyoung asks.

Ten shook his head. Winwin slightly nodded, not sure if he remembers how to or not. Mark was excited, he knew how to ice skate and have tried roller skating a couple of times.

"I mean, I kind of know...?" Johnny says, making his reply sound like a question.

"But, I don't," Jaehyun answers. He haven't done any other sport other than basketball, billiard, cycling, and swimming. Those were also just something he'll do occasionally because of boredom.

Taeyong is currently at the restroom. If he were there with the others at the moment, he'd say no. He has never done anything close to roller skating. He isn't the best with his own balance anyway.

Lucas comes back to the group and got them wristbands, "We need these, it's like a pass for the rink. They'll last until midnight."

Everyone took one and puts it on. Doyoung and Lucas excuses themselves, they told the others that they're just going to speak to a friend. No one else knows their friend group so nobody questioned. They were told where to get the skates and they all walked off there.

While that happens, Johnny gets a call, "Hello?"

"Hey, so, remember what to do?" Doyoung asks from the other end.

"Yes, yes. Of course. I'm pretty sure Mark is ready too," Johnny replies. They then hung up. Jaehyun can hear Johnny talking, but really wasn't sure what the conversation is about. He shrugged it off and continues to follow the others.

Mark glances around and spoke up, "Wait! Taeyong hyung isn't here. We need to go get him. You guys go ahead, I'll go get him, he probably doesn't know where to go."

Mark runs off in the opposite direction, leaving the other four there. The four of them got to the rental place for the skates. They told them their weight and shoe size and was given a pair of skates.

There weren't many people here, since skating wasn't a popular idea for a date or a hangout place. Ten stood up with his skates, just barely maintaining his balance. He holds onto Johnny and Winwin's shoulders as he tries to stand up without shaking.

Winwin starts laughing, "Hyung, just trust yourself."

Winwin suddenly stood up, that surprised Ten, making him stumble a bit until he leeches onto a wall. "Hey! Don't do that!"

Winwin slowly took a couple steps and made it onto the rink. "Come on, guys! It's not that hard!" Winwin waves at the three.

Johnny furrows his eyebrows, "This doesn't fit me. I'm going to have to change it." He gets up then leaves for the skates again.
