It felt like only a minute when I last went to sleep but I could already feel myself being woken up.

I groan and open my eyes to see Lisa above me smiling.
" Hey.. you've been sleeping for half an hour. "
" Only half an hour? Why did you wake me up? " I say in annoyance.
Lisa chuckles and says,
" Because, announcements have been made for newbies. And that's you. " She says, booping my nose. I scrunch my nose and say,
" What announcement? "
" You have to go and register your name with your choice of event. You'll receive your ID after that. And my legs are hurting.. so please go. "

" Come with me. " I say with a pout.
I could see her cheeks become pink and her actions flustered.
Cute..
" Ask Jimin to go with you! "
I roll my eyes and say,
" That's a no. "
Lisa laughs and takes my hand and we walk to the registration area.
There was a long line of girls and boys so we had to wait.

We were standing in line when I felt someone poke my shoulder.
I turn around to see a boy with blonde wavy-ish hair and slim body. He was wearing a simple white t-shirt but he made it look so good on him.

(He looks like Jimin sometimes right?)

Woah...
" Hi! Are you new here? "
" Yes.. I'm Y/N " I hold my hand out for a handshake.
He shakes my hand and smiles.
OMO THEY'RE SO SOFT.

" I'm Taemin. "
( MY BIAS )
Lisa puts an arm around my waist and I look at her in confusion.
She just smiles back at me so I guess she's just being protective.
Taemin smiles at me and says,
" So what event are you in? "
" I'm doing races. What about you? "
" Dressage. "

Well how could I not see that? With his slim figure I'm sure he would be amazing at dressage.

It was our turn and I stepped up to the counter.
" Hi I'm Y/N and I- "
" Kim Y/N? " The lady says, not even bothering to look up at me.
" Uh yes I'm- "
" Mr. Park Jimin has made a reservation for you and fees have already been paid. Your horse has already been chosen. Please come inside to get your ID picture taken. "

Jimin reserved a seat and chose a horse for me? I wonder which horse he has chosen..

A blush makes it way onto my cheeks after I hear the lady's words and I didn't realise I was still standing in line. The lady clears her throat and looks at me. I realize my actions and bow.
" Oh- sorry. "
I walk inside the office to find two other people waiting.

" So.. Jimin has done it all for you huh? "
Lisa says, and holds my hand.
She's been having a lot of skinship with me lately but I don't mind. She's my best friend anyways.

I nod my head and say,
" I don't know how I will be able to repay him.. "
" Listen Y/N.. I don't know if he's doing this out of pity but please be cautious ok? "
My smile falters and I nod.

Why does she say that? Jimin is helping me because he loves me..... Right?

But what if what she says is true?

I don't know yet.. but I hope that whatever his intentions are, are genuine.

My name is called and I step inside the small room. There were reflectors and multiple flash heads directed towards the center of the room that had a wood backdrop. A man sat on a stool in between the flash heads with a large camera in his hand.

I stood in the center and after many adjusting instructions, I smiled for the picture. I gave a small smile and the photographer said,
" Come on. Smile! "
I smiled wider and I'm pretty sure all my teeth were on display.
" Wonderful! " The photographer says and clicks the picture.

It was quite hard to keep my eyes open because of the bright lights shining in my face but I did it.
My photo was being printed out onto the ID card and after it was printed, I had a choice for the style of tag I would like.

I finally decided on a tag and attached it to my ID card.

I feel like I'm back in school..
I thought with a smile.
I stepped out and Lisa was still waiting.
She jumped up from her seat and immediately grabbed my ID card.
" Yah!! " I say and tackle her, trying to take back the ID card and prevent her from seeing the picture of my horrendous face.

I failed and her eyes landed on my picture.
" OMOO KYEOOO!!!!! " she says with a squeal and I grabbed the ID card back.
" It's not cute. "
" Yes it is!! I've never seen you smile that wide before. " She says with a laugh. I smack her shoulder and we walk back out.

" What horse did Jimin reserve for you? "
" I don't know " I say, taking out the document that stated my reservation and the information.
I glided my finger along all the options until it landed on one.

Horse.
Breed : Arabian.
Name : Crystal.
Stable : Six B.

" Lisa... " I say in shock and she looks at the paper.
" He gave you crystal? No way! He's never given Crystal to anyone before!"
" But I don't know the basics of riding with a saddle and stuff! "
Lisa chuckles and says,
" That's why he's put you in the beginners level, pabo. "

A blush reaches my cheeks as I say,
" Beginners?... I'm gonna look like an idiot. "
Lisa sighs and says,
" Well, it's gonna be pretty embarrassing when you see your fellow riders.." and places a hand on my shoulder.
I furrow my eyebrows.
" What do you mean? "
" You'll see. "

Lisa guides me to the venue that's written on the paper and we finally reach the place. My jaw drops and that's not because of the size of the field... It's because I have found out my fellow riders.
Lisa sighs and pats my back.
" Good luck.. " she says, and wipes invisible tears from her eyes.
I smack her and say,
" You didn't tell me I would be joining kids!!! "

" You should have asked Jimin that !! "
I whine and say,
" This is so embarrassing.. "
This is why I never had friends. I hate being the center of attention. And this time, I'm gonna stand out so much..
" I'm gonna kill that man. " I mutter and walk into the field and approach a person that seemed to be coach.

Before I could, I heard someone call my name.
" Y/N!! " I turned around to see the same guy from before run up to me.
" Hey Taemin! What are you doing here? "
He nervously rubs the back of his head and says with a shy smile,
" Well, I'm assigned here... "
" So you don't know either huh? "
He shakes his head and I smile.
" It's ok. I can only ride a horse without a saddle. I'm not completely stupid. And I'm glad I have company!"

I laugh as I see Taemin's reaction to our fellow riders being kids. He puts hands on his head with wide eyes and whines.
" Omg I can't do this!! "
" Sure you can. " I say with a laugh as I drag him towards a lady that's guiding the kids.

She didn't see us since her back was facing us and I tapped her shoulder.
She turned around with a smile.
" Hello! What brings you here? "
Taemin and I glance at each other and shyly hand her our papers.
" Oh yes! I'm Mrs. Jaemi.. I was waiting for you two.. your horses are in the stables "

We bow and walk towards the stable but before we could enter, Mrs. Jaemi said,
" Wait wait! "
We turn around and wait for her to speak. She points us up and down and scrunches her nose.
" You can't ride in that.. you need proper riding outfits. "

I look down at myself and Taemin does the same. He looks up and asks,
" But where do we buy our stuff? "
She points to a shop down the road next to the dressage arena and says,
" You can get your equipment from there. It's free since you're a registered rider here. "

We bow to her and slowly make our way to the shop.
Taemin turns to me and asks,
" So.. you have a horse? "
" Yes.. " I say, nodding my head, hoping he wouldn't take it further than Night's name.
" What's it's name? "
" Night.. he's black.. "
He nods and I silently cross my fingers and bite my lower lip.

" You seem nervous.. are you ok? "
I nod with a small smile and say,
" U-uh yea.. I'm fine. "
Damn this stuttering.
He nods and says,
" Who's Park Jimin? "
My eyes widen a little from the unexpected question and I fidget with my fingers.
Taemin immediately holds his hands up and says,
" Sorry if I'm being too inquisitive.. it's one of my bad habits. "

I chuckle and say,
" It's ok.. Jimin is my boyfriend.. "
Taemin's smile falters and he nods his head..
" Nice... How long- ok no I'm sorry I won't ask any more questions. "
I laugh and put my hand on his shoulder.
" Yah! I don't mind! We're gonna be spending quite some time with each other, so might as well get to know each other.. "
Taemin reluctantly nods and says,
" Well, I tend to ask a lot of questions before I become friends with someone.. "

I smile and say,
" Shoot! "
He smiles and rubs his palms together and says,
" So, how long have you and Jimin known each other? "
" Um.. " I think, counting back to the day we met. I was shocked at the amount of days we knew each other.
" W-we have known each other for almost 2 months now.. "

Taemin's eyes widen a little bit.
" That's an awfully short time to know each other and then get into a relationship. "
My mood drops instantly and Taemin notices it.
" Y-Y/N I'm so- "
" It's ok! " I cut him off and put on a fake smile.

Why do people judge me so easily? I hate it.

The rest of the walk was silent and we finally reached the shop. Taemin and I walked around and reached the outfits section.
" Whoa.. " we say in unison and laugh.
" What's your style? " Taemin asks and I say,
" .... I don't know "
He bursts out laughing and says,
" What do you mean? "
I shrug my shoulders and smile and say,
" I just choose something if I like it. I don't have a particular style. "

I walked down the aisle, my eyes scanning the different outfit for the perfect one. After a few minutes, my attention is finally drawn to an outfit.
I walk to the changing room and put it on and look at myself in the mirror.

Simple and pretty.

I walked out of the dressing room with the outfit on and I bump into Taemin.
My eyes widen at his attire.
Omg he looks incredibly handsome..
No. Y/N. You are NOT a single pringle anymore.
His eyes widen at mine too and I could see a slight blush crawl up onto his cheeks.

" You look really pretty Y/N.. " he says shyly and tugs a piece of hair behind my ear. I was about to reply but a throat clearing interrupted me.
I turn my head to look at the person and my eyes widen a little.

" H-hey Jimin! What are you- "
" Who's this? " He says, pointing at Taemin without sparing him a look.
I furrow my eyebrows and say,
" Oh come on, don't be rude! He's my friend! "
" Still don't know who he is. " Jimin says with a scoff.
I put my hand around Taemin's waist, not even realising my actions, and I say,
" This is- "

I was cut off by Jimin grabbing my hand and pulling me into the women's changing room.
" Y-yah! Let me go! Jimin what are you doing?! "
His grip on my hand tightens and I wince as he shoves me in a stall and locks the door.

He turns to me and I could see a dark aura in his eyes that I've never seen before.
" What do you think you're doing sugar? " He says in a husky voice, moving towards me slowly until my back is met with the mirror.
" I-i didn't do- "
He puts a finger on my lips and brings his face close to my ear.

He bites my earlobe and it sends tingles throughout my body and makes me shudder.

He whispers into my ear with a low voice,
" Nobody touches what's mine. "

A/N : save me 😂 idk wtf I'm writing 😂
