Skateboards

Defying The Odds

Helen, Ceci woke up to the sound of the beep of a certain car. Helen had planned a day with Caleb and Cameron who arrived a day before in Seoul, and staying in his sister's house in UN Village,Gangnam.  Helen and Cameron share each other's luxuries, which marks him as the only person who Helen is selfless to, really.  She is known to donate a lot of money to charities, sharing an amount of what she receives.  Ceci does that the same too, so they are considered generous artists.  Ceci grabbed her duffelpack, for Helen said that they will do some physical activity that day, which led her to wear black leggings, a loose top with a black fitted tank, and customized Lady Airs.  Helen wore shorts, sneakers and a oversized sweater, with a bag with her.  They went out and what greeted them was a Ford E150, which made Helen laugh.  They saw the door open, and what greeted them was Caleb, smiling.

"Hello, Helen and Ceci. Good morning!"  He said in that accent which made Ceci jelly.  The maknae smiled, but made her worry as they rode the car. What about Yunho-shii already? Oh no. When Cameron started the engine, he said:

"Helen, shall we go to the skateboarding shop?"

"Yeah. Let's get the skateboards. Ceci has to pick something."

Pick what? Ceci said, but she was eating the waffles Helen made.  They sped up, and they arrived at a skateboarding shop in Insadong.  Ceci was bewildered, but she saw some photographers, and Caleb held her hand, which made her feel like jelly once again.  They went inside, and hip-hop music was blasting all over.  Helen was buying some equipment such as knee and elbow guards, helmets and some wrist bands.  Caleb asked her if she could tell Ceci to get a skateboard.

"Unnie, get a skateboard." She said, while gesturing to the skateboard display on the wall.

"How should I pick one?" Ceci muttered. 

The younger pointed a short blue one. "Just go to the beginner's rack over there."

She walks to the side, photographers are flashing pictures, and she saw a bright red skateboard, with the number eighty-six. She picked it randomly, and poked the maknae.  The maknae took the skateboard, and gave it to Caleb, who brought out his card.  Ceci gasped.

"He's going to pay?" She said in shock. Helen, who was sipping caramel macchiato at the time, nodded.  Helen got her skateboard, which was pretty long, with black glitter finish and a small KASAI in kanji was there, and stars.  Caleb got the longest length, with bore the flag of UK. Cameron got one with skulls, which Helen thumbed-up in approval.  They left, towards downtown Seoul.  They arrived towards a skateboard range, which had obstacles, just like the one on Epik High's UP mv.  Ceci was so afraid, until Helen said, "Don't worry. Caleb is good.  He will never let you go. Really.  But Yunho should say those lines." She said, then laughed. Ceci looked at her judgingly. 

“Anyway… gotta go!” Helen said before strapping on her helmet and dashing off with her brother with their skateboards, trying out different tricks that amazed Ceci.

“Wow…” She sighed in amazement as she watch her dongsaeng who was a total pro with the skateboard.

“Don’t feel too intimidated… She had a lot of practice. Cameron and I taught her…” Caleb said with a smile as soon as he noticed how Ceci looked at Helen. Ceci turned to Caleb and smiled at him. He in return flashed her a gorgeous smile which made her blush a little.

“I don’t really think I’m good at this stuff…” Ceci said in hesitant manner as she stared at her skateboard on the ground, looking at it as though it was going to eat her alive. She gulped hard in nervousness.

“I’ll teach you easy stuff. It’s fun once you get the hang of it.” Caleb said encouragingly as he gave her a pat on the back. “We should get started right away if you want to be skating like Helen soon.” He added as he placed Ceci’s red helmet on her head and gently strapped it on for her. Ceci smiled at the sweet act. Caleb is a very sweet guy. If they aren’t friends, he’d make a very good boyfriend. But Ceci shrugged such thoughts off. Caleb is her friend and she figured it’s a bit weird to look at him in a different way. Also, she thought, she isn’t ready to start a relationship   with any man.

Caleb offered his hand to Ceci as she stepped on her skateboard. Ceci smiled  and took his offer as she made her first step. Her knees were shaking as she tried to balance herself. She gasped when she tripped. It was a good thing that Caleb caught her. His arms were wrapped around Ceci’s petite waist. Ceci on the other hand, had her head rested on his shoulder as he clung to him for support.

She blushed at the sudden skinship they made. It was a good thing they were friends and Caleb isn’t the kind of guy who takes advantage of girls. Ceci felt comfortable with him.

“You need to relax and balance yourself.” Caleb said as he pulled away from their ‘embrace’ and resumed to teaching Ceci how to skate.

He held Ceci’s hand as they both glided slowly with skateboard.

“Omo… I’m getting it!” Ceci squealed as she moved with her skateboard.

“See? You’re learning really fast…” Caleb complimented, chuckling.

“I have a great teacher…” Ceci said, giggling.

The two were silent for awhile before Ceci asked,“So, why do you guys like skateboarding so much? I mean, it’s a pretty scary hobby… You could trip, fall, and get a wound or break and ankle…”

“The hoops and obstacles…” Caleb replied staring in to a space as he continued skating with Ceci. Ceci looked at him with a puzzled expression as she waited for him to continue. “It’s pretty much like life. It has a lot of ups and downs. It makes me realize how even though it’s a bit hard and scary to go through all that, in the end it feels great when you just do it. To me facing challenges in life is as same as facing obstacles while skateboarding. It’s hard and scary at first, but in the end, when you go through it. It feels great.”

Ceci couldn’t help but smile at Caleb’s metaphorical view of life. It was a pretty smart way of answering things. Also a smart way of capturing girls hearts. But, of course she knew that Caleb wasn’t trying to impress her or amaze her. She knew what he said came from his heart and that made her feel giddy.

“I’m weird. All these metaphorical stuff that comes out of my mouth…” Caleb said, laughing. “It just comes out… Sorry…”

“It’s okay… It’s actually smart, poetic and cute… I like it…” Ceci giggled and Caleb smiled.


Ceci was a fast learner. Right after learning how to balance and glide smoothly, Caleb taught her a few tricks. At first, Ceci was a bit nervous. She fell a lot of times but she kept on practicing until she learned and eventually had fun with her skateboard.  Helen and Cameron noticed how good she’s doing and cheered as she did some of the tricks Caleb taught her.

“You’re catching up to Helen! Nice…” Cameron complimented with a smile. Helen pouted as she punched her brother, acting like she’s jealous and clingy to him. Helen’s very close to her brother and often jokes around with him when they’re together.

“you up for a match, unnie?” Helen asked with a smug expression on her face. Ceci, being a bit competitive pointed at her and held her head high as she replied, jokingly, “ Yah! I challenge you, Helen Lee to a duel!”

“Bring it on, newbie!” Helen teased and later laughed hard.

“Are you sure you about this?” Caleb asked, concerned about Ceci’s safety.

Ceci nodded assuringly. “It’s just for fun! I’ll be alright.”

Caleb nodded in approval as he fixed Ceci’s helmet and helped her step on to her skateboard to start her match with Helen. In the process, Ceci’s legs became shaky again and tripped on her skateboard. Luckily Caleb’s reflexes were good that he caught her in his arms again, making Helen and Cameron laugh at how cute they were. If the two hadn’t known about Ceci’s feelings for Yunho, they could’ve shipped them together.

“You still sure you could do this?” Caleb asked, chuckling as he raised an eyebrow. Ceci pouted and frowned.

“Of course I can! Pshh!” Ceci retorted defensively.

“Don’t worry, Unnie… I’ll go easy on you…” The evil maknae remarked with a smirk on her face.

The two went on with their duel. They skated through ramps and hoops and got through all of it.  Cameron and Caleb watched and cheered for them. Though Ceci was also a good skater, Helen’s moves were smoother since she had been skateboarding with her brother and friend when she was young. The two went back to where Caleb and Cameron were.

Cameron gave Ceci a pat on the back.

“You learn fast! I have to admit you were good as well…” Cameron complimented.

“I learned from the best…” Ceci said turning to Caleb as she scratched the back of her head awkwardly.

“I really had fun you guys. Today was just… different… exciting and fun!” Ceci added with a cute smile on her face.

“I’m glad you liked it, unnie…” Helen said as she slung her arm on her elder peer’s shoulder. “You have to admit though, I won in the duel, neh?”

Ceci laughed hard at how competitive Helen was. “Alright, alright you’re amazing at this okay…” She admitted as she ruffled her dongsaeng’s hair as soon as they both took their helmets off.

The four took more pictures at the park. They joked around and had fun together. They had a short picnic near the park. They had a lot of fun. Saying goodbye had to come so fast. They all wished they had to get to stay together much longer, but they had to get some rest too.

As soon as the two got home, Helen uploaded their pictures and videos in instagram. The maknae smirked as she thought, ‘I wonder how he’s going to react once he sees them…’

Changmin looked at his hyung as he took a bite out of his peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  He couldn’t help but smirk at how Yunho’s mood switched at instant. At first he was sitting on the couch with his Macbook Air on his lap giggling at something, which Changmin assumed were Ceci’s pictures posted on instagram then a few minutes later his laptop was closed and place on a table while Yunho laid down on the couch and sighed and sulked.

Yunho couldn’t help but take his mind off those pictures he saw of Ceci. She looked pretty adorable in the skateboard. He just couldn’t stand the fact that she looked beautiful wearing that smile she had as she skated with Caleb. It was a bitter-sweet feeling for him in a way. Sweet, because Ceci had a beautiful, mesmerizing smile and bitter because it hurt him to see her looking at some guy…

He felt his chest hurt a little at how sweet Ceci and Caleb looked in the pictures and videos. Seeing how Ceci fit perfectly in Calebs arms hurt him and made his blood boil in jealousy. Apparently, Helen got to snap some candid shots of Ceci when she tripped into Calebs arms. Of course, Yunho doesn’t know about this so he concluded that they might be a couple after all. Ceci’s face was so close to Caleb’s and her gorgeous eyes were looking directly in his. Yunho  couldn’t explain the feeling but all of a sudden he felt as though he just wanted to lie around and sigh all day. Just when he thought the pictures were enough, he had to watch the video Helen posted too.

Caleb’s laugh blended well with Ceci’s. They’re laugh sounded like music it was so mesmerizing. It was obvious she was having fun with him. The way she’s smile at him, it hurt for Yunho to watch it. Of course he was amazed at how cool Ceci was when she was skating, but it annoyed him that she learned all those cool moves from a good looking guy who was also rumored to be her boyfriend. Yunho was usually confident, but when he saw Caleb and Ceci he just felt like all the self esteem had was flushed down in the toilet.

He was frustrated and confused by his feelings. He had no right to feel all of it. He just thought it was irrational that all of a sudden a grown man like him is acting like a love-sick teenager. He hated it so much but he couldn’t stop it. He couldn’t focus on the things he had to do. He hated being idle and lazy. He likes moving around the house, singing, dancing, creating great dance moves, but after seeing too much of Ceci and Caleb, he just felt sick and lazy that he just wanted to lay down on that couch…

He was too jealous and hurt to move and talk. He never felt that way before. Truly with Ceci, it was different. He knew he had no right to be jealous. Ceci isn’t his girlfriend…

Changmin of course, couldn’t help but be intrigued by his hyungs actions. He asked Yunho to skoot and leave little space for him on the couch as he opened Yunho’s Macbook Air to look at what he was viewing a while ago. He found that he was right after all. Yunho was stalking Ceci again. He couldn’t help but laugh, making Yunho blush in embarrassment.

“Seriously, hyung?” Changmin asked, mocking the leader who in return frowned and threw a pillow at the maknae.

Changmin looked at the pictures and videos and couldn’t help but be mesmerized at how cool Helen was with the skateboard. Later on Changmin found out what made Yunho moody that day. Just as he thought, Yunho was jealous of Caleb and he hated the attention Ceci was giving him…

Yunho continued to sulk as Changmin used his laptop to browse for stuff when an article caught his attention.

“Hyung look at this!” Changmin said and Yunho scratched his head in frustration as he lazily sat up straight as though it was a strenuous thing to do.

Yunho  just felt worse as he read a new article posted on the internet.

 


 Probability that DJ Caleb and Cecilia Kim are a Couple, Increased!

        Fans and netizens go wild again as Helen posts more pictures of Cecilia and Caleb together. It had just been a day since Cecilia posted a picture of her and Caleb that caused the fans and netizens to go wild and new and sweeter pictures and videos of them were posted, making the rumors of them dating more probable.

It has been reported that the duo along with DJ Caleb and Helen’s brother and partner in business, Cameron decided to have a good time together. A lot of fans and netizens concluded that Helen and Cameron might be trying to set up Caleb and Cecilia together. Their plan seems to be working out based on the pictures and videos.

See how beautiful Cecilia is smiling as Caleb holds her in his arms? Hear their adorable laugh in the video? Their chemistry is so perfect they just have to be dating!

As of the moment, the parties involved are not responding to the rumors. Netizens and fans are aching to hear from them and hoping that they confirm their relationship.


Yunho wanted to throw is laptop in frustration as he read the article and the comments of the fans. He couldn’t help but feel hopeless about his plans of courting Ceci. He closed his laptop and placed a pillow on his face and screamed.

Changmin gave his hyung a pat on the back, but smiled since the plan is working so far.  He couldn’t help but feel slightly guilty though…

“You saw the comments?!” Yunho asked, raising his voice in annoyance. He later mimicked an annoying fangirly voice as he added, “ Arghhhh…. Ceci deserves love they make a nice couple! Ceci and Caleb are so cute I’m so shipping them!”

 Changmin laughed at how obvious Yunho’s jealousy is.

“Calm down, hyung… Aish… You’re jealous…” Changmin said and Yunho glared at him.

“I’M NOT JEALOUS!” Yunho continued to deny as he stomped his feet and stood up and stomped angrily all the way to his bedroom, slamming his door so hard it almost broke. Changmin couldn’t help but burst into laughter as he got his phone and texted Helen,
