AUTHOR'S NOTE
The story is set in 2018 during the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, Korea. It's mainly inspired by Jimin's end of year ceremony dance stages and partly by this amazing video. At first, it was supposed to be a 5k oneshot but I just couldn’t stop. I hope you'll enjoy reading this as much as I loved writing it.
 
IMPORTANT
To be frank, before I started writing this I didn't know anything about figure skating but after a lot of research, watching Kim Yuna's and Hanyu Yuzuru's performances I was fascinated by it. I mean no disrespect towards any other amazing skater whom I haven't mentioned in the story. I'm still no expert so if I claimed any uncorrect detail about the sport, please feel free to let me know.
 
KISS AND CRY
(exp.) The area in an ice rink where figure skaters wait for their marks to be announced after their performances during a competition.

Chapter 3: Oh dear, that was such a wonderful story with all those jaw-dropping metaphors and creative ideas like the blindfolded performance and the club being called Wings! ^^
Everything about this story was absolutely amazing. I don't know why but I especially liked when Xianni talked about Jimin's laughter and their relationship. Oh, and Jimin's love for astronomy! *-* What a boy, really! He wasn't only an exceptionally talented skater but also a real sweetheart, a total gentleman and a boy-next-door guy with a gold heart. I adored their conversations on the rooftop, I loved how we could get to know them little by little, how they started skating, where did they come from and how Xianni felt concerning her mom. It felt like we knew time like they were our friends. It felt amazing. ^^
I thought that something really bad would happen (for example, it crossed my mind that Jimin wasn't eating well because he had struggled with body image issues or that Xianni would fall during her performance or her mom would threaten Jimin and things like that) but thankfully none of them came true. And it was nice and realistic with this ending. Not to mention that te last parapgraph was so lovely, I couldn't help but smile at the words, they made my heart flutter! *-* Oh, and last but not least, I totally loved the guys' apperances and the cast for their support team. I believe Taemin would make a really good coach and I loved Kasper and Yixing's cameo as well. :) So, I loved everyone to sum it up. :D
All in all, I really, really enjoyed this story because as always, the flow was lovely, the writing style was flawless and your idea was... agnyjbhsgsy, it was AMAZING! I hope more people would read this because it really worth it! <3 Thank you for sharing and sorry that it took me so long to read! <3 Take care! <3

Chapter 3: Darling,
Well, Tto be honest, I'm quite proud because because I'm finally here (, i took so long).
Like I said, I loved (and still adore) this hole story including the main and supporting roles, the spot, the story line. I won't lie, I cried in the end, and I'm sorry I can't read it this week. It was a good kind of habit. I'm truly grateful you wrote a happy end. I was afraid of they find love in their own countries and give up on their first time ever.
It's incredible for me that you wrote this extra long short story in English so well like it was your native language (I hope I will able to do something like this in hungarian... actually, 30 pages is a fascinating achievement).
I still like the idea of the rules that they broke. It was fresh, something I have never seen before, and it gave a perfect structure to this story. Okay, I think I don't do anything but repeating myself... but I have to tell you how wonderful the chemistry was between these two cutie. A real OTP. I gladly watch a film adapted from your words. *paperhearts feels*
I like that this story stands both feet on the ground - okay maybe it was way too cute, but why not? it can happen sometimes - and the realistic side of the last chapter bought me. It is on my secret top ten list.
Love you.
(ps. I know it was a lame comment, sorry)
