Pairing: female reader x Huang Renjun
A/N: I started writing this a while ago and I finally got to finish it! I hope you guys will enjoy it🙈🙈🙈
“It’s okay don't worry. I’m not mad or anything. I’ll see you later” with that I left the place. I hope she won’t feel bad about it though.
When I arrived at the skating hall it was already really crowded. But I still get to make my way towards my seat. The skaters were warming up already. My eyes started looking for him immediately. I could feel the familiar feeling when I laid my eyes on his skating figure. He looked so elegant and at peace.
I suddenly felt eyes on me and started looking around until seeing a tall familiar figure already staring at me. I smiled to him and he smiled back like he always does when we see each other at Renjun’s competitions but this time he started moving towards me which made me nervous.
“Hey” he said with his deep voice and with a big smile on his plump lips.
“Hi” I said back with a shy smile. I felt like I was talking to an old friend again after a long time.
“How are you this fine evening?” he said in a funny voice which made me giggle.
“Well, I’m doing pretty fine. What gives me the honor of talking to you?” I asked feeling more comfortable.
“I’m doing fine myself thanks for asking” he said with a smile on his face which made me blush for my ‘mistake’.
“I’m sorry for not asking you. I’m glad you're doing fine” I said with an apologetic look on my face.
“Nah don't worry you're fine. And to answer your question. I thought ‘Well I see this cutie every time Renjun has a competition and I smile to this cutie so I think it’s time to talk to her finally’ so here I am” he said showing me all of his perl whites which again made me giggle.
“Why are you alone here?” he asked me with a hint of seriousness in his tone.
“I’m not alone. You’re here with me, aren't you?” I said which made him giggle for a change.
“No, seriously tho. Why are you here alone?” he said after he calmed down.
“Well, I enjoy watching ice skating competitions and my friends don't really and I’m not gonna miss out on all the fun just because I have to go ‘alone’.
Here at competitions I am never really alone, the skaters and all the other viewers that I share an interest with are here with me” I answered honestly which put a sweet smile on his face.
“You especially like the competitions with Renjun, I am guessing” the nameless young man said with questioning eyes. I felt the blood rush to my cheeks and how a smile formed itself on my lips.
“Well, yeah. I really like how he skates. It is really beautiful. So yeah I especially like the competitions he attends” I ‘confessed’ to him.
“What about you? Why are you here?” I asked the stranger.
“Well, I don't have a crush on him like you do” he said with his eyebrows moving up and down. I blushed even more and hit his upper arm jokingly.
“Be serious” I said between laughs.
“First of all I am serious, I don't have a crush on him and second of all, he's a close friend of mine and I’m here to support him” he said and my eyes went big when I heard that he is friends with Renjun.
My reaction made him laugh and I soon joined him, his laugh was really contagious.
It hit me at that moment that I don't know his name so naturally I asked him for it.
“My name’s Yukhei and yours?”
After politely telling him my name we shook hands. He opened his mouth to say something right when the announcer interrupted him and announced the first skater. My attention turned to the ice just like Yukhei’s and we started watching and cheering for all the skaters.
Soon it was Renjun’s turn and he stood in the center of the ice, he looked around like he always does before starting his program.
Both Yukhei and I cheered a little louder for him and smiled at each other when we did so.
Like with every other performance everyone got quiet and the music started to play. Obviously it’s not the first competition of the season and I already knew the choreography by heart but tonight something was different with the way Renjun was skating.
He started out in the center with one arm stretched towards the ceiling and his other crossed over his upper body, holding onto his torso. His performance started together with the music. In his program there were six turns planned. He always landed his turns perfectly with his arms stretched which got him extra points.
His program wasn't the most difficult one but it was a beautiful one. Renjun made the program beautiful, no one else could skate it like he did.
Tonight he was really enjoying himself on the ice, usually it was obvious that he was focusing on the choreography, on getting all the steps and turns right. It was a good look on him, I didn't think he could get even more mesmerizing on the ice but he always surprised me, I guess that was one of the reasons behind my admiration towards him.
Now he was skating with his arms wide open just when the part of the music piece got quiet and I think I have never seen him more at peace than in that very moment. His movements were more elegant than usual and so much more emotions were visible. It was simply put, breathtaking. He was so beautiful I couldn't take my eyes off of him. I lost myself in his movements. My heart started pumping so loud I almost didn't hear the music and all the people that were cheering him on. The whole world was a blurry besides him. There was only the ice, Renjun and I.
After another jump which he again landed perfectly he went towards the center, started spinning on the spot first with his arms close to his chest and with every second his arms started moving towards the ceiling and after his spin was over he took his starting position again. The music ended, everyone started cheering and throwing flowers onto the ice. Renjun was breathing hard and after calming down a little he started bowing to the viewers and skate towards his coach.
“Are you okay, Y/n?” Yukhei asked me from my left with worry in his eyes which confused me so I shook my head up and down.
“You’re crying tho” he said and my hands immediately went to my wet cheeks. I tried to dry my face and stop crying which was not so easy. Yukhei then handed me a tissue which I gladly took.
Right then Renjun’s score was about to be announced and he was sitting with his coach on a bank waiting for the score while smiling and waving to the camera.
The score shocked everyone it was a personal best for Renjun. Everyone cheered again while it was displayed how he hugged his coach. Seeing him so happy and with a big smile on his face made me smile too.
Because Renjun was the last competitor everyone soon started getting up to leave so I followed. I looked up to Yukhei who was already looking to me.
“So Yukhei it was really nice meeting you. I hop-“
“Do you wanna meet Renjun and come out with us to celebrate his new record?” Yukhei interrupted me with made me look at him speechless. I started stuttering which made the tall man laugh. So I just nod at him.
“Nice I’m glad you’re coming with us! Renjun is going to be thanking me so much” he said with sparkly eyes which made me again look at him shocked.
“Why should he be happy to see me? He doesn't know me remember?” I said giggling.
“Oh Y/n, honey. You oblivious cutie. You really think I noticed you but Renjun didn’t? He knows you since you have been to all of his competitions and he always looks for you in the crowd. Believe me he knows about you” Yukhei said with a grin.
Renjun knew of me? He noticed me? My heart started beating faster again. I couldn't move or talk so Yukhei started dragging me down the stairs by my arm. I didn’t know where he was taking me but I was too shocked to really say anything anyway.
“Guys this is Y/n and she will be joining us with our little celebration tonight. Y/n meet Jaemin, Jeno and Haechan”
“Hello” I said shyly with my right hand up to wave to them. They all greeted me back with smiles covering their handsome faces.
“Wait! Isn’t she Renjun’s crush???” the orange haired guy, Heachan said which made my eyes go big and a blush appear on my cheeks. Jeno elbowed his side which made Haechan glare back at the black haired boy.
“Speaking of Renjun. What is taking him so long?” Yukhei asked.
“I don't know but he’s probably busy with his coach because of his record he should be out soon” Jamein answered right when he got a text message.
“Ohh Renjun says he will meet us at the diner. So let’s go!” Jaemin said and we all made our way to their cars. I rode with Yukhei and Haechan while the other two drove the other car.
The diner wasn’t anything special but it was warm and homey, so I liked it. We sat down in a booth with a window. I was looking outside admiring the clear night sky when Yukhei started speaking.
“Looking for Renjun?” he said with a grin on his face again. the others started laughing after seeing my pink cheeks. I rolled my eyes but still couldn't help myself and laughed with them. We talked for a while, getting to know each other more. We also ordered some food and drinks, the others were also ordering for Renjun who was on his way now.
I excused myself to the bathroom after I remembered that I cried earlier and didn't know how I looked. I didn't want to look like a mess the first time meeting Renjun.
My mascara was a little smudged so I cleaned that up and applied a little more mascara and lipgloss. After checking myself out one more time I left the bathroom and on the way to the table I bumped into someone, too caught up in thoughts.
Before any of us could fall we both caught each others hands and pulled each other closer. We both started apologizing and then we looked up and our eyes meet for the first time. Renjun was looking at me speechless and I was mirroring him. We both started smiling and I think I have never seen someone this handsome, he was even more ethereal up close.
“Hi” he said, still with a smile on his lips.
“Hi” I said back, also with a smile on my lips.
