Three

Love on Ice

"Do not look at her legs. Do not look at her legs. Do NOT look at her legs" is the mantra Jungkook is chanting in his head.

The public session had officially started, and he was doing his usual rounds around the rink. He had deliberately not waited for her to get on the ice, but for some reason, it was easy to tell when she arrived. It seems he's developing a sort of sixth sense for her presence. Which could be a good thing (for avoiding her) .. or a sign that he's going mental. 

Most likely it's the latter.

He tells himself it's not like he had a choice. Lending her the jersey was the gentlemanly course of action, and he was a proper gentleman, wasn't he? 

Deciding to just try and not think about it for the remaining 50 minutes of this session, he meanders around the ice. As he helps a little elementary school boy up, he hears a wolf whistle followed by a few more taunts.

One lanky guy calls out, "Woah baby, looking good!"

"Damn, she's y." says his friend, winking suggestively.

Both look like they're in their twenties; probably college kids home for summer break. Jungkook's eyes harden, following the direction of their interest. He clinches his jaw when he sees that they've cornered the girl on one side of the rink. Quickly skating towards them, he can't say he's surprised when he sees a defiant Choi Yuna, slowly standing up.

She had slowed down to redo one of her skate laces, and in doing so, attracted these low lifes. The two circle around her slowly, and cut off her exit. 

"Let me through" she says in a calm, clear tone. 

"Oohhh, she's fiesty." the first guy leers at her, undaunted by her show of bravado.

"She's just my type." says the other, and moves to grab her hand.

"Get away from me!" Yuna yells and pulls her hand away quickly, but there's a hint of panic in her voice. Jungkook doesn't wait any longer to step in.

"I think you guys need to respect the lady's wishes." he states quietly.

The two creeps jump and look over at him, surprised to see someone intervening. Jungkook doesn't miss the equally surprised and confused look on Yuna's face as well. What, did she expect him to just abandon her?

It seems the creeps have decided that Jungkook doesn't look like much of a threat, so they scoff and turn their attention back to Yuna. Which was a mistake they would soon regret.

Swiftly, Jungkook swipes his leg out and catches both goons on their ankles, causing them to crumble to the ice. 

"Hey! What the s your problem kid?!" the tall one curses, furious and frantically trying to stand. Jungkook internally laughs. All that taekwondo practice paid off after all.

The other guy is also struggling to get up. "He must think he's hot stuff. Little piece of -"

"Well now that I have your attention" Jungkook interupts, "I'd like to remind you of our rink's no-harrassment policy. We ask that all guests remain respectful and courteous to their fellow skaters while on the premises."

Heedless of the growing anger of his audience, he continues to apathetically recite the policy, much like a police officer would recite the Miranda rights to a criminal. "As you have already violated the policy once, the next occurrence will result in a permanent ban from public sessions. I will have to ask you to leave the ice right away."

"Excuse Me?! Look kid, I"m not going anywhere. We paid for the full session, so off!"

Wordlessly, Jungkook takes out his cell phone and hits the play button. The entire exchange between the creeps and Yuna plays loudly.

"Your options are to leave now," Jungkook says steadily, "or I can hand this over to the police. In which case, it will go on your permanent record." 

Leaning in close for better effect, he finishes by saying, "I wonder how that'll look on your future resumes?"

Both goons look at each other before grunting at Jungkook. "Whatever, kid. Not like this place is anything special."

"Yeah, screw this place. Let's bounce."

Even with this statement, both look a little shaken as they hurridly make their exit. Jungkook watches their backs carefully, making sure they leave for good. 

He finally turns to Yuna, who has been quiet through the whole exchange.

She seems ... stunned.

"Hey - ", he asks quietly, "You alright?" 

"Huh? Oh um yeah." She shakes her head, as if trying to clear her thoughts. "I'm ok."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, um don't worry about it." She plasters a smile on her face.

Jungkook doesn't buy it. 

"Come on."

"Where?"

"I'll buy you a hot chocolate."
