DEAR EUNHA,

    REMEMBER THAT BOX OF CRAP I USED TO HAVE HIDDEN IN MY CLOSET WHEN I WAS A KID? AND NI, DON'T TAKE THAT LITERALLY. LIKE COOL ROCKS AND MARBLES AND STUFF. I STILL HAVE IT. MY OLD COWBOY HAT IS IN THERE, TOO. I CAN SEE YOU FROWNING RIGHT NOW. I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU PRETEND TO HATE MY HATS, BUT YOU KNOW THEY RULE.

   I'LL PAY YOU FIVE WON IF YOU WEAR IT AROUND FOR ONE DAY. THERE'S FIVE WON IN MY BOTTOM DRAWER, TAPED TO THE BACK OF IT. IT'S YOURS. BUT ONLY IF YOU WEAR THE HAT

     LOVE, JINYOUNG 

THERE IS NO WAY I'LL EVER WEAR THAT HAT

    I DIDN'T SEE JUNGKOOK YESTERDAY BUT HE TEXTED ME LATE LAST NIGHT AND TOLD ME HE'D PICK ME UP WEDNESDAY MORNING

   I'M STILL IN A BAD MOOD FROM BOTH OF MY NOT-SO-AWESOME ENCOUNTER YESTERDAY WITH JUNGKOOK'S DAD AND DILLON.

    JUNGKOOK PICKS ME UP EARLY AND, TO MY SURPRISE, HAS SOMETHING IN HIS HAND I'D NEVER THOUGHT I'D EVER USE AGAIN.

   "ROLLER BLADES?"

HIS GRIN IS HUGE AS HE HANDS ME A PAIR WITH PINK LACES. " AREN'T THEY AWESOME? I THOUGHT WE'D START THE MORNING OFF RIGHT."

   "IS ROLLERBLADING REALLY THAT BIG THING AROUND HERE? BECAUSE I HAVEN'T WORE IT LIKE TEN YEARS" I FINGER THE PINK LACES AND SMILE AT ALL MY ROLLERBLADING MEMORIES FROM CHILDHOOD.

   "HAVEN'T YOU SEEN PEOPLE WEARING THEM ON THE BOARDWALK? I SEE FEW A DAY AT LEAST." HE GLANCES AT MY BLADES. "HOPEFULLY THEY'RE THE RIGHT SIZE. I KIND OF GUESSED."

   I PEEK AT THE TAG INSIDE OF ONE. IT'S AN EIGHT. I'M A SEVEN AND HALF. " CLOSE ENOUGH."

    "GREAT, LET'S GET GOING THEN." HE HAS TWO HELMETS IN HIS HAND AND GRINS WHEN HE SEES ME LOOKING AT THEM. " SAFETY FIRST," HE SAYS, WINKING.

   I THOUGHT BIKING WITH JUNGKOOK A FEW DAYS AGO WAS HARD BUT IT'S NOTHING COMPARE TO ROLLERBLADING. ONCE I GET THE SKATES ON, I CAN BARELY BALANCE ENOUGH TO STAY ON MY FEET. I KNOW IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE DONE THIS, BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I HANG ONTO A PALM TREE NEAR THE BOARDWALK AND WATCH JUNGKOOK SKATE AROUND LIKE IT'S NOTHING. I SWEAR HE'S
