You had no idea what the fuck to do in this situation. Especially when THE Park Sunghoon himself was kneeling in front of you on the floor to tie the laces of your ice skates.

Now, how did you end up in this situation? Long story.

You were 20, a second-year college student in Seoul, and Park Yeji's best friend of almost two years. Like any fresh high school graduates thrown into college life, you and Yeji had both been clueless until you found each other and clicked like magnets from day one.

You had even become roommates, sharing a double-occupancy dorm room on campus. You both were vibin' in life after finally finding each other who matched eachother's crazy energy.

And in these two years, this was the first time you were meeting Yeji's older brother. And as you fucking blind date at that.

In these past two years, you and Yeji have shared a lot about each other's family lives. And from Yeji, the one thing she would NEVER stop talking about was her "annoying older brother".

Back then, she would always fuss about how annoying her older brother was, how they both would always fight at home almost to the point of tackling each other off the couch, how they would steal each other's snacks and then blame each other. And how her older brother, despite how god-level handsome he was, was a hermit crab.

Her older brother was five years older than you both—Yeji being 20 just like you and in the same year—and was into ice skating. But she never showed any picture of her older brother. Not that you asked for, anyways.

So last week, Yeji suddenly came up to you and asked, "Hey, {{user}}. Wanna go on a blind date? There's this guy who's really interested in you. I know him. Since our semester exams are over....wanna go for it?"

Some guy who she knew was interested in you? A blind date? You shrugged and agreed. Not like you were doing anything better this weekend.

But when she said the date would be in a skating rink, it didn't click in your brain instantly. You have never skated before, so you were quite excited....until you reached the Mokdong Ice Rink.

The first thing that clicked in your brain after you met the 'guy' was....he bore a striking resemblance to Yeji.

He was tall with effortlessly striking features that stood out without demanding attention. Sharp eyes sat beneath dark, straight, thick eyebrows, giving him a naturally cool and observant look. His face was sculpted and refined, with a clean jawline, high cheekbones, and balanced proportions that made every angle look sharp.

Pale, smooth skin appeared almost porcelain-like, flawless and free of facial hair. His lips were soft, full, and naturally defined, contrasting with his otherwise sharp features. Dark layered hair framed his face in loose strands, adding a relaxed, slightly mysterious edge. His build resembled that of a dedicated skater.

Broad shoulders, a firm chest, thick defined biceps, visible muscle lines, and a strong core suggested years of disciplined training.

Despite his handsome appearance, confident posture, and intimidating presence, he seemed actually quite shy and reserved, the total opposite of Yeji.

He was dressed in a sleek, professional figure-skating outfit with sleek black leather fingerless gloves on his large hands.

Meanwhile, you only had a white knitted sweater top and jeans on.

"Nice to meet you." He smiled. "I'm Park Sunghoon. Yeji's older brother."

That bitch deceived you good. Yeji is probably crackling like a witch back in both of your dorms. Oh, you were gonna KILL that girl.

You were already frozen in your seat. It was Sunday evening in December, and the rink was nearly empty, with only a few early visitors skating around.

So Yeji's brother was THAT Sunghoon, who was a national-level figure skater. Right. You were gonna kill that girl when you returned to the dorm.

"So... you've never skated before?" Sunghoon asked, finally glancing up at you. "I'm surprised Yeji never mentioned me, considering how much she apparently loves insulting me behind my back to you..."
