skates - i.n

"Jeongin!"
"Woah, you scared me. What happened?"
"Let's go skating!"
Jeongin, your boyfriend, looks at you, confused. "Skating?"
"Yeah, a new rink opened a few days ago, it would be fun!"
"Uhm, I don't really know how to skate, actually."
"Me neither, but that's the point, we can learn together, right?"
"I guess?"

Half an hour later, wearing your rented skates, you're both ready to hit the rink. With tiny steps, you carefully walk on the ice, getting familiar with it. Jeongin follows you, holding tight on the rink's barrier. 
"Alright, I can do it." you whisper to yourself, starting to move. It's your first time skating, you didn't have any chance when you were little and any time when you grew up. "Yeah, no, nevermind." you squeak, hugging the barrier.
Jeongin, on the other hand, looks more confident and speeds past you. 
"You were right, it is funny!" he laughs. Seeing you struggle, he quickly comes back to you. "Here, hold on to me."
"Thanks."
Feeling safer, you try to move with more conviction. Suddenly, you lose your balance and fall backward, on Jeongin.
"Well, good thing I was here with you." he smiles, kissing your cheek.

After a while, you finally get the hang of it and you two decide to do a race: three laps, no cheating allowed. "The winner will pay for hot chocolate!"
Ready... Set... And off you go. At first, your pace is pretty much the same, but at the end of the second lap he starts speeding up, taking advantage of a moment of insecurity of yours.
Needless to say, you payed for hot chocolate. 
"It tastes even better when someone else pays for it." he jokes.
"Just wait, Yang Jeongin, I'll be better than you and next time you'll pay me back! Come to think of it, I should probably ask Sung-hoon for some tips..." 
"Hey, what are you taking about?!"
