a/n: kinda went overboard w the metaphors don’t mind me haha
Today was the day.
You couldn’t help but sneak another lovesick glance at him, as he skated his heart out on the rink.
Moments like that reminded you just how you learned to love him so much in the first place. Blissful eyes and smiles so wide your cheeks would hurt. Hanseo was the only person in the world who had such an effect on you.
“ Hey Y/n!” He called out, and skated over to face you. “ Join me!” He grinned, gesturing to the pair of ice skates awaiting for use.
“ I’m good,” You waved off, reflecting his heavenly smile. “ You keep skating.” You said, then adding on, “ You’re amazing at it.”
He blushed. Very profusely.
You knew how much Hanseo loved compliments and wouldn’t hesitate to shower him with them everyday. Even if your relationship was still in the friend zone, you never skipped a day with Hanseo not hearing just how great he was.
Maybe that was why you refused to join him on the rink. You sucked at skating and keeping your balance- even on trivial things. You preferred seeing him from a distance, his feet gliding on the ice as if he had known it for all of his life.
You didn’t know ice all your life, and you were scared to imagine how Hanseo would react if you were to fall so easily. His image of you was far too different from the image you had of yourself, and you didn’t want that to change.
Change, however, comes by when one expects it the least.
“ Come on, now?” You spent too much time in your thoughts, and now Hanseo was out of the rink as well, holding out the pair of skates.
“ Hanseo…” You complained in a playful whine, and he didn’t back down.
You gazed down at the skates, and it seemed too foreign to wear. Too different. But, you looked back up at Hanseo-
Only to see his signature puppy eyes.
He knew you couldn’t resist.
Letting out a sigh, you grabbed the skates and sat down on the bench to tie them on. He cheered cutely as you put them on, clapping his hands gently as his eyes sparkled at you.
Like how the ice sparkled at you, too. Maybe skating wouldn’t be too bad.
As the two of you entered the rink again, Hanseo would just not let go of your hands.
“ I- I need to hold your hands so… um… you won’t fall.” He came up with an excuse, and you bit back that knowing smile.
Minutes passed like this, stuck in a piece of time so beautiful. You looked down at your intertwined hands and your heart began to beat even faster.
Your imagination ran wild, conjuring up romantic scenarios in your head although the suspect of your dreams was right beside you.
“ You look nice.” Hanseo blurted out of nowhere, snapping you out of the depths your imagination.
“ Huh?” You let out, completely off guard.
“ O- on the ice. I meant. Skating… um, suits you.” He scrambled for words, looking at everything around him but your eyes.
You fought back a chuckle, “ Skating suits you too.” You replied, a small blush resting on your cheeks.
“ Mhm…” He nodded wordlessly, as the two of you began to skate in awkward silence.
You abruptly halted, nearly catapulting Hanseo straight into the rink’s perimeter fence. He yelped in surprise, but your locked hands steadily pulled him back to safety.
“ Jang Hanseo,” You started, and he gulped. You almost never used his surname when calling to him. “ What do you think of me?” You asked, leaning in slowly as his face flushed a bright red.
“ You’re… You’re a good friend.” He spoke in a deathly slow pace. “ You’re really nice and understanding. And kind, funny, pretty…” He stopped himself from saying anymore.
“ Pretty..?” You echoed, your heart began to pound as your whole world became Hanseo in that very instant.
“ I meant…” He backtracked himself, only to fall into the quiet again. “ Yeah, I think you’re really pretty.” He admitted, his volume lowering to a mumble.
Maybe it was the ice that froze you into place- your lips sealed as you couldn’t think of anything else to say apart from those three dangerous words.
Seeing your silence, Hanseo mustered up an smile, embarrassingly laughing at his own words. “ I… uh, didn’t mean it that way, you know?”
It was that heartbroken smile which melted you.
“ I like you.” You blurted out, and his eyes widened in shock. The both of you gazed down at your hands, which were still interlocked.
You tightened your hold, glancing away to avoid getting more flustered. “ I know that we’ve been really- really good friends but… I… I want more.” You confessed, looking straight up at him, mustering every drop of courage you had in you.
“ I want more too…” He replied, a soft smile playing on his lips. He skated closer to you, to the point you could feel him breathe down right above your ear.
It tickles… You blushed and let loose of one of your hands to caress his face. His skin was as cold as the ice you stood upon, and you let your thumb glide across his lower lip.
His breathing grew audibly ragged as he flushed a deep red.
“ Y/n… may I kiss you?”
You nodded once, and was brought into an embrace like no other before. You desperately clung onto the perimeter fence, holding it in fear you may fall.
His lips were warmer than you had imagined, contrasting starkly to the chills you felt all around.
You wrapped your arms around his neck as he deepened the kiss, wishing in that very moment that humans didn’t need oxygen to breath.
The two of you parted for air, for lovesick smiles and giggles filled the space between. “ I’m…” Hanseo caught his breath, “ I’m surprised we didn’t slip and fall.” He cracked a light joke, and you laughed.
“ But we have already.” You beamed, and he blushed at your words. “ LIKE THIS!” You exclaimed suddenly, tripping him over as he fell, only for you to lose your balance next.
“ Ow! Y/n!” Hanseo groaned, lying on the ice as he rubbed the back of his head. He groggily opened his eyes again, to see you lying right beside him on the ice.
“ I really need to improve my balance…” You complained, as you massaged your aching wrist.
“ Pft-”
“ Huh? Are you laughing at me?!” You jabbed, sitting upright on the cold ice.
Hanseo fell into a chortle of laughter, wiping the fake tears from his eyes as he tackled you into a hug.
“ God, Y/n… I- I can’t believe we…” His tone grew soft as you could recognize the pure love from his gaze. “ We’re actually-”
You cut him off with a quick peck on the cheek, grinning at how flustered you had made him. “ Let’s save the cute stuff for outside the rink.” You said, standing up slowly so you wouldn’t slip again.
You reached out a hand for him, “ How about a date?”
