I didn't expect that you would fall for me

So much for not taking a long time. It nearly took us 3 hours to finish looking through the papers. By the time we had finished the ice
rink was already closing.
"You lock up yeah Jia?"  Mr. Ma said before leaving.
"Yes sir, I will." 
I stretched my arms up into the air and sighed. I looked over at Yongguk who was sitting next to me. He had passed out as soon as we
had finished. First day on the job and he was already exhausted. He'll get use to it eventually I'm sure. I put my arms down and rested
my head on my chin. Yongguk looked so peaceful when he was sleeping. Who knew that a tough guy would have such a cute side. I figured
he would be all manly (which he is) but he has a lot of adorableness in him. I smiled and leaned in closer to him. I observed his haird and looked
down to his eyes.....and then to his nose.....and then to his lips. His beautiful, gorgeous lips. I reached my hand out to touch them. I leaned in 
more and then suddenly Yongguk's eyes opened. I swung back into my seat and started stacking the papers. That was close. Did he see me? I 
felt my heart beating fast on my chest. I shook my head, aish so embarrassing.
"Are we done?" Yongguk stretched his arms out and I tried to avoid looking as his shirt went up.
"Umm yes. We are. You passed out as soon as we finished." 
He smiled and put his arms down. "Did I? Well that's embarrassing. First day on the job and I'm already sleeping. Don't tell Mr. Ma yeah?" 
I laughed and nodded my head. I stacked all the papers and got up. "I'm just gonna bring this to the office okay?" 
"Sure." 

I opened the door and stepped out and headed for the office.....
When I had gotten back to the skate room Yongguk wasn't there. "Huh I wonder where he went."
"Jia! Over here!" 
I turned around to the sound of my name.
"Yongguk-ah! Odiea?" 
"Over here."

I walked around the skate room and saw Yongguk on the ice skating around.
"Yah! What are you doing? You could get caught!" 
Yongguk looked around. "There's no one here right?"
"Yeah but your not suppose to after the ice has been cleaned."

"Ehhh its fine! I bet you don't get to skate here too often because you work here eh?"
"Actually I--"
"Come on!"  
Yongguk gestured for me to join him
I sighed and looked at the ground. "Araso araso! Hang on!" I ran back to the skate room and grabbed a pair of skates and ran to a bench. I quickly
put them on and clumsily walked over to the small door that led to the ice.
"Umm Yongguk-ah?"
"Mm?" He skated over to where I was standing.
"I don't know how to skate." 
Yongguk placed his hands on his waist and stared at me. "You work at an ice rink and you don't even know how to skate?" 
"Well.....its like you said. I'm always too busy to even learn how." 
"Well then. Today i when you'll learn how too." He put out his hand for me to hold on to.
"Oh. Umm."
"Oh come on." He smiled and grabbed onto my hand and pulled me on to the ice.
"Ahh! Ahh!" I yelled holding onto him.
Yongguk laughed. "Are you really that scared?"
"Yes....." I held onto his hand tightly as he guided me around the rink.
"Here. Hold onto my other hand and I'll help you skate better okay?" 
I nodded my head. Holding onto his hand was making my heart beat so hard along with the amount of butterflies that I felt. I grabbed onto
his other hand tightly as I wobbled, trying to stand upright. Yongguk smiled and took a step back while I took a step forward. We did that for awhile
till' I got the hang of it. Having him hold my hands made me feel safe, like he could protect me. I smiled to myself and let my hair fall down in front 
of my face so he wouldn't see.
"Okay. Let's try to see if you can do this by yourself."
"Eh?"
My head shot up when he spoke.
"It's fine. You got the hang of it already."
"No I really don't think I--"
By the time Yongguk let go of my hands I had lost my balance and my arms flung out making him fall along with me. I crashed onto the ice
with me landing on top of him.
"Ow." I reached my hand out and touched the front of my head.
"You okay?" Yongguk looked up at me.
I looked back at him and nodded my head. I realized that I had landed on top of him. I felt my cheeks go red again.
"I just realized that you look really pretty."  He smiled at me which made me blush even redder.
"Umm.....thanks."
"No problem." He reached his hand out and brushed the strands of hair from my face, and then he leaned in.
I closed my eyes and waited for him to place his lips on mine.
"Why'd you close your eyes?" 
I quickly opened my eyes to see Yongguk with this huge grink on his face. I blinked a couple of time till' I realized that I made myself look like an
idiot in front of him.
"Where you expecting something?"
"No.....not at all." 
I moved around to try and get up off of him. I had barely managed to get up when I tumbled again onto the ice next to Yongguk. Yongguk
laughed and smoothly stood up.
"You need a hand?"
"No I'm fine." I've had enough embarrassment for the day. But I had almost fallen again when Yongguk grabbed onto my just in time. His arms
wrapped around my waist.
"Here I'll help you."
"Kamsamnida." I awkwardly made my way to the doorway of the rink with Yongguk's hands on my shoulders. When I was just about to get off
of the ice, Yongguk stuck his hand out blocking the exit.
"Huh?" 
He smiled and looked at me in the eyes. "Does it seem weird that the moment I saw you I ended up falling for you? Literally?" 
I was taken aback by his words. I didn't expect this. "Umm no?"
"Oh kure?" Yongguk leaned in closer to my face.
Yeah.....really." He was really close to my face.
"Why is that?"
"Because..."
"Because?"
"Because I..."
"You?"
"I umm."
Yongguk smiled. "What? You ended up liking me?"
I slowly nodded my head.
"Well, I guess that makes both of us." He placed his hands on the side of my head and leaned in slowly. He slowly placed his lips on mine and
kissed me. I closed my eyes and kissed him back. ~~
