------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Strangely, after the day you had heard the song (Love in the Ice), it gave you strength. Though you were still a bit cautious to people, you had slowly loosen up to Yoochun and Changmin and the people who genuinely wanted to be your friends. You were also trying to be friendlier towards people around you. Now, you mostly hung out with Jisun, Yoochun and Changmin.

"~~~~~~~ -ah, are you free this Saturday?" Changmin grinned.

"Yeah, I guess. Why?" you curiously asked.

"Wanna hang out?" his eyes sparkled, "Just you and me and Yoochun hyung and Jisun -ah."

"Sure!" you smiled.

* It's great that she smiles more recently. I wonder if it's because of the song, * Changmin silently thought. He couldn't help but curled up his lips when he saw you smile.

"Oppa, where are we going this time?" you tilted your head and asked.

"You'll know later," he winked at you and walked away, "I'll pick you up that morning!" he shouted back.

* I'm really getting back to my old self again, * you sighed. Though you were afraid to get hurt, you couldn't deny the fact that you liked the feeling of being cared by friends like you used to, * Should I just give it a try? But what if I get hurt again? *

You talked about your agony to Jisun, hoping that she could enlighten you.

"~~~~~~~ -ah," she sighed, "I always think that you are burdening yourself too much. I mean the whole incident wasn't actually your fault! But I support you no matter what. So if you want to act cold towards people it's fine for me. I just want you to be happy!"

You instantly hugged her hearing what she had said, "Thank you, Jisun -ah, you are really my good friend!"

"Aww, we're best friend forever!" she patted your back.

"So are you going to hang out with us this Saturday?" you suddenly asked.

"Mianhe ~~~~~~~ -ah, I can't make it. I've already told Changmin -sshi," she smiled apologetically while you pouted, "Then I'm not going too," you said.

"No! Just go and have fun with them, araso?" she urged.

You sighed but nodded.

* I can sense that Changmin really likes ~~~~~~~ -ah. So if they get together, it might help her eventually erase her bad memory, * Jisun slyly grinned at her own plan.

You quickly changed into something casual and shoved everything into your bag after getting a call from Changmin saying that he was going to pick you up in 15 minutes. You grabbed your bag, gave yourself one last check in front of the mirror and headed to the front door.

You saw Changmin who was just about to press the doorbell.

"Hi, Changmin oppa!" you happily greeted.

"Don't girls usually need more time to get ready?" he joked.

"Well, I'm no ordinary girls," you laughed and headed out.

Changmin couldn't help but adore your carefree personality. Indeed you were very different from other girls that Changmin had tried to hang out with. Most of them wore very revealing clothes to appeal to him, while you were simply in your plain t-shirt, jeans and flats. This made Changmin fall for you even more. But then on second thought, Changmin wished not to rush the relationship between the two of you, since he wanted things to work out gradually. He was satisfied with being friends with you for now.

You got onto the car and went to the backseat, "Morning, Yoochun oppa," you greeted the guy in the driver's seat.

"Hi, ~~~~~~~ -ah," he softly smiled at you while Changmin seated next to Yoochun, "Ready?"

"Where are we going anyway?" you pouted. You didn't like to be left out.

"We are ice-skating today!" Changmin grinned.

"Yay!" you were overwhelmed with the happiness that you forgot you didn't really know how to skate.

Once you were there, you finally realized it, * The ice seems so slippery. Aish, why did I even agree on that? * you mentally slapped yourself. But you were already here, so you decided to give it a try.

While Changmin went to the counter and borrowed the skates, you sheepishly poked Yoochun, "Oppa."

"Hmm?" he turned his head towards you.

"I...hmm...I don't really know how to skate," you looked down at your feet.

Yoochun chuckled at your cuteness, "It's alright. Oppa will teach you, araso?" he gently patted your head.

"Araso," you beamed, catching Yoochun off guard and making him blushed.

Luckily, Changmin had just came back and you didn't see his red face, "Here," he gave a pair to Yoochun and to you.

You looked at how they tied them up and copied. Once Changmin finished tying his skates, he came to you and checked them, "Aigoo, it's too loose! You will hurt your legs easily if you do that!" he said as he knelt in front of you and helped you tie them all over again. Your face flushed pink instantly, "Komawo."

Then, he took your hands and walked you to the ring. Yoochun followed. Changmin held out his hand as you slowly stepped into the ring. Your legs shook a bit and you quickly grabbed Yoochun's arm.

"Don't worry, I'm here," Yoochun turned to you and gave you a reassuring smile. You smiled back.

You held both of their hands and slowly started skating. Once in a while, you would loosen up your grip and try to skate on your own. But again you lost your balance and fell back. Luckily Changmin and Yoochun's hands were always fast enough to support you.

Then suddenly Changmin came up with an idea, "Wait a sec, I'll be back very soon," he smiled and dashed off.

Losing one of your supports, you held Yoochun's hand even tighter.

"I'm helpless, oppa," you joked.

Yoochun shook his head, "There's always a first time. I was even worse when I first learn it," he slowly glided with you. Then he noticed that your hands were really cold and you were shaking. He looked at your thin t-shirt and swiftly took off his sweater without letting go of your hand for too long. He grabbed your arm and helped you put on his sweater.

"How did you know---"

"Just wear it," he said as he finished putting it on to you.

"Thanks, oppa," you blushed slightly, feeling the warmth in his sweater, "But aren't you cold?"

"Don't worry about me. I'm strong," he joked.

You laughed. But then you suddenly lost your balance and fell backward. Yoochun's eyes widened and he quickly reached out his arm to grab you. He dipped you down as if you were in a tango position and his face was only inches apart from yours.  You both stared into each others' eyes for a moment until you realized your awkward position. Your hearts thudded as heat crept up to your faces and both of you blushed furiously. Yoochun quickly pulled you up and held you a bit further away, awkwardly clearing his throat. Right then, Changmin came back with a plastic chair.

"Hey," he noticed your reddened faces, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," both of you mumbled at the same time.

"Well then," Changmin shrugged and patted the chair, "~~~~~~~ -ah, come and sit here," he smiled.

Yoochun led you to the chair and you cautiously turned around and sat down.

"Forget about learning ice-skating today! We can do that some other time. Now, we'll just have fun!" Changmin grinned while he and Yoochun pushed you from behind. You delightedly screamed while they pushed you around the ring in a faster speed. You enjoyed it and forgot about the awkward situation between you and Yoochun.
