- ice skating rink

@park jimin /jungkook follows Jimin off the rink, making idle chatter as they swap from their skates to their shoes, return them and leave the building. It’s mid afternoon and people are out enjoying the sunshine, so he doesn’t take Jimins sleeve or pinky like he would like too(well, he’d like to hold his hand but that can’t happen, he thinks sadly).
I think you’ll like this place; they do this thing called Spanish Tapas that i’d never had before I went. There’s this huge wall of wines to choose from; it’s like a dream come true

[] reply in the bar room?

@jeon jungkook /jimin slows down to a stop and places his hands on his hips while steadying his breathing, watching jungkook fully enjoying his victory, smiling widely at the cute reaction. he breathes out a little bubble of nervous laughter, looking at jungkook's face and tilts his head towards the rink's exit.
I guess you do.
/he grabs ahold of jungkook's sleeve and leans the way off the ice so they could change out of their skate.

@park jimin Yeah!
/he skates in a circle, pumping his fists in victory until he comes to a stop in front of Jimin, almost chest to chest, far too close for in public but right now, jungkook couldn’t care less. His breathing is a little hard, definitely over exerted himself a little much, but it’s ok; cause now he gets to spoil Jimin with delicious wine and food.
I believe I owe you a couple of drinks.

@jeon jungkook /jimin takes off right as soon as jungkook yells 'go', sliding and pushing his skates against the ice to pick up speed, gliding along the corners with big turns to keep his balance. he steals quick glances over at jungkook as they're racing side by side, a wide smile under his mask as the fast movement along the ice feels exciting and thrilling; like flying.
what!? you're barely trying!?
/he says while laughing, beginning to take the corners a little sharper in hopes to passing jungkook in the last moment before reaching their decided 'finish line', but sadly his balance faulters a little and makes him slow down. losing the race(if he might have faked it to let jungkook will, no one will ever know).

@park jimin Get set…
/jungkook steps away from jimin, and crouches down, ready to push off and win this race but a million miles. He waits, and waits, he steals a glance at Jimin to see if he’s of guard, he waits…
Go!
/it’s just short a yell(to not attract attention) and they’re off, jungkook pumping his legs and narrowly avoiding bumping into Jimin multiple times-he might want to win but he’s not gonna play dirty- but so far, they’re both neck in neck.
Come on, hyung, I’m barely trying!
/he goads.

@jeon jungkook I-
/his jaw drops behind the mask as he gasps in mock shock at the gesture, playfully narrowing his eyes and smirking a little even though it wouldn't be seen.
we'll see about that. on your mark.

@park jimin That’s my way of saying I’ll buy you drinks and that I’m gonna absolutely dominate this race. I’ll leave you behind in the dust hehe
/jungkook takes a chance to pull down his mask and stick out his tongue, making an ‘L’ shape on his forehead.
Ready to lose to your golden maknae?

@jeon jungkook /jimin hums in question as jungkook's palm finds his cheek, lifting his head and then pausing when he looks into his eyes. he's under the impression that jungkook is merely fixing his mask and hair, but that doesn't stop the sudden racing of his heart followed by a blush spreading along his cheeks that hopefully is fully covered.
I'm having a lot of fun with you too, I should be thanking you for planning this for me.
/he says in a soft voice after subtly taking a deep breath, silently calming the intense feelings swimming through him before focusing on what the race entails. rubbing his slightly chilled hands together, he nods slowly while getting ready to race.
okay so two laps and the- wait, the winner buys the drinks?

@park jimin /jungkook smiles; happy to have received approval for his idea. he turns and is decide on the race but he pauses, looks back at Jimin. Under the guise of adjusting his mask strings, jungkook cups jimins cheek tenderly, the pad of his thumb strokinf his cheekbone. His hand trails up, and he fixes the non-existent fault by brushing his fingers through jimins hair. He’s just.. glad. That they’re doing this. He’s glad Jimin is happy(or at least seems to be).
Thanks for coming out with me today, hyung, im having a lot of fun with you
/he says, a little too heartfelt, maybe, but he can’t help it. But just like that, he’s shaken off the big feelings and he’s ready to crush Jimin in a race.
Ok so I’m thinking two laps around the rink? First one back here buys the first two rounds of drinks?

@jeon jungkook I what-
/jimin leans forward a little while laughing, placing his free hand on his thigh as they come to a stop before standing up straight and brushing his fingers through his hair, still laughing a little. his attention stays completely on jungkook while listening to the plans for the rest of their day together.
hmm, a wine bar. I like that, it sounds fun. we can try different wines we haven't had before.
/he says, very much approving to the idea of going there.

@park jimin I- ok, now you’re being cute, stop iitt. My turn to be all soft because of you.
/he slows them down to a stop but doesn’t let go of jimins finger.
Ok let’s race- but uh yeah, to answer your question, I had two things planned but it’s up to you? I was going to take us to this nice wine bar I found near mine, it’s a hole-in-the-wall and super private. Then the thing back at my place. But we can always skip the wine and, it’s completely up to you

@jeon jungkook you don't have to be acting cute to do that, usually just looking at you makes me smile.
/jimin lightly brushes his shoulder against jungkooks, peering over at him as he's looking down at the ice; biting his lip under the mask as he watches him with a smile.
oh, yes let's race. and wait, there's more?
/his eyes widen a little, staring at jungkook in awe
am I going to be a puddle of goo by the end of this date?
/he laughs softly and shakes his head at himself.

@park jimin I dunno if I wanna just be cute to you all the time, hyung, but yeah, I’ll do it to make you smile
/jungkook ducks his head, looking down at the ice; his cheeks pink from feeling a weird mixture of warm and embarrassment but he’s smiling, squeezing his pinky finger gently.
Wanna have a couple of races and then we’ll get outta here? I have some other stuff planned for us today. The last one actually melt your heart if you think I’m going cute now

@jeon jungkook /he actually coos softly this time, tilting his head a little towards jungkook while he looks at him, eyes squinting slightly as he smiles widely. his pinky gently clinging onto the others, humming softly as the smile under his mask stays there for a while.
but you're already cute most of the time, if you try to be anymore so I think my heart just might melt.
/he says with a hint of a dramatic tone, before chuckling softly.

@park jimin I’m just cute for you~
/jungkook skates closer to Jimin, just enough to occasionally bump arms together but also to discreetly adjust so that he can link their pinkies together, unseen by any prying eyes. He’d think cameras too but they’ve done a pretty good job this time, not being spotted, so he feels like taking the risk. Not more though, even if he does feel the temptation.
I can be cute all the time if it makes you laugh like that

@jeon jungkook well, there might be a few things I haven't told you. we all have things we don't always share with each other, not that we hide it, just that we haven't had any reason to bring it up, you know.
/he glances around the ice rink as the crowd slowly begins to disappear, leaving a nice distance between the other skaters on the ice and them. he laughs a little at jungkook's remark to him skating backwards, resisting the urge to coo at him.
hehe why you gotta be so cute for, huh?
/he reaches out to move jungkook's hands away from his face and smiles at him, turning around to skate forward beside him while keeping ahold of the youngers shirt sleeve.

@park jimin Hmm, I’m sure there’s something. I dunno, I feel like I still learn new things about you and the other things everyday, y’know?
/he hums, falling quiet for a moment as they skate. there weren’t many people on the rink to begin with but the few there had left probably to het something to eat; leaving jungkook and Jimin, as well as one or two stragglers, behind. He hasn’t been sure what the crowd would be like today but he was glad that he’d seemingly picked a quieter day.
You can add skating backwards to the list unlike me.
/he says, hiding his face in his hands.

@jeon jungkook /jimin makes a soft noise of confusion and glances back as they skate around the parent and child, smiling brightly at the cute little kid. he turns his attention back to jungkook when they're farther away, blinking a few times; suddenly very thankful for the mask when his cheeks heat up.
a hidden talent..
/he says quietly, mostly to himself while trying to think of something
I don't think so, no. at least I can't think of anything right now?

@park jimin You im- skate a little to the left, hyung
/jungkooks arm came up to hover just off of the side of jimins body as they navigated around a parent and their child. He waits to speak again until they’re out earshot, and it’s like the two of them are back in their own little world.
You’ve always impressed me
/he says, sincerely.
but maybe you have something to new to show me then; have you been keeping a talent hidden from me haha

@jeon jungkook with a little risk, yeah. just not too much.
/smiling under the mask, jimin tucked his thumbs in his back pockets and turned around to skate backwards. he hummed, making eye contact with jungkook.
because then you would be too good to be true, and how would I be able to impress you then?

@park jimin /he was glad for the mask hiding the red heat spread across his cheeks and he laughed again, waving him off.
Life’s boring without a little risk
/jungkook eyed jimin, curious.
Why’s that?

@jeon jungkook /jimin watches jungkook with a curious expression, his eyes widening when witnessing what he was trying to attempt. skating forward to catch up with the younger, he lightly hits at the others chest and shakes his head while trying to hide and failing at the fact he was also laughing.
yah, you could have gotten hurt trying something like that.
/he huffs to cover up the laughter in his voice, taking ahold of jungkook's wrist for a moment while pulling him along before letting go and looking over at him.
It's actually a good thing you're not good at everything though.

@park jimin Mmm.. it is true, isn’t it?
/jungkook agrees, his smile clear in his voice and he pulls a moon pose— or attempts too, at least, because the second he stops focusing on his balance, he lost his footing and stumbled. Thankfully(seriously, he thinks), he doesn’t fall on his as he holds out his arms to keep himself steady. He locks eyes with Jimin briefly and breaks down into an embarrassed laughing fit.
Ok, maybe not everything. But definitely most things.

@jeon jungkook /as he steps out and glides onto the ice with jungkook, he shivers from the drop in temperature; in that moment he was rethinking the jeans he decided on wearing. he tilts his head a bit while watching the younger before leaning forward slightly with a little laugh, nodding slowly while continuing to skate forward.
things? that is what hyungs should do, isn't it? but aren't you already good at nearly everything?
/he asks in a playfully tone

@park jimin /squeezing his hand once, jungkook led the two of them onto the rink. It’s cold, clearly, by the sharp intake of breath he makes as soon as they’re on the ice. He’s slowly, turning around to skate backwards so he could face Jimin.
Absolutely. That’s what hyungs do right? Aren’t you supposed to teach me new skills and how to be good at… things?
/he can’t help but wiggle his eyebrows suggestively, but his tone is light; he doesn’t want to insinuate

@jeon jungkook (ah, that's weird lol it's okay)

hmm, yeah. we've been nonstop busy since then.
/he bites at his lip while pulling the laces tight, tying them so they're comfortably snug along his ankles. he wiggles his toes inside the skates, then places the blades directly against the floor before standing up. balancing himself as he smiles and looks at jungkook, the excitement overpowering any of the nervousness.
oh, you think I should?
/he laughs softly, reaching out to take ahold of jungkook's hand to follow him out

@park jimin [] sorry about the notif, for some reason the room posted it when I closed the page and reopened >.>


I don’t think I’ve ever really gone skating with somebody else since then. Not for a while at least, we got too busy
/he harrumphs, tying the last knot in his skate. It’s been so long since he last wore skates that getting up isn’t without it’s difficulty but he gets there eventually.
Nah, not compared to you. I watched the videos some fans took of us and you looked like a natural. Maybe you need to show me how it’s done
/he wiggles his eyebrows, holding out his hand to drag jimin onto the rink

[post deleted by owner]

@jeon jungkook /he followed along by jungkook's side, having taken ahold of his skates and found an available bench for them to sit at. leaning forward to remove his boots to begin putting on the skates, he looks over at the other and his expression became impossibly bright at the reminder.
of course I do, that was so much fun. you were good too

@park jimin /jungkook hummed in agreement, and he was tempted to take jimins hand in his own but although there was a small break in the days busy crowd, there were still others around. entering the building, paying the fee for the two of them and retrieving their skates was easy enough.
Do you remember that time we went skating together at Lotte? You were so good
