제 3 장 (Chapter 3)
"The finals this year will be different" coach Sun Hee said as she smiled breathtakingly at us. As curious as I was, I never really like a change, I'm totally comfortable with how I am now; because of this trait my coach tends to lecture me a lot about how as a figure skater I can't have the thought to be stagnant, I know it's a bad habit, but I can't seem to let it go.
"Will there be any changes in our practice?" Sun Jung asked voicing my thoughts. We all waited patiently for the coach answer, since she's still smiling mischievously.
"Yes! —there will be changes and they're good ones! We're going to Mokdong for practice starting right now!" coach Sun Hee said as she giggled like a school girl. I swear sometimes her student skaters are more mature than her.
But wait, what? Mokdong? The one who only accept boy skaters?
Why the hell would we practice there?
I mean don't get me wrong, being able to practice in Mokdong is a good opportunity—they have the best facilities for skaters in Seoul as far as I knew.
But I mean, all of the other skaters are boys? Why do they suddenly accept girls?
"Don't they only accept boy skaters, coach? I mean, they also have their own coach, Mr. Gu—you don't plan on throwing us away right?" I raised an eyebrow at coach Sun Hee.
"Don't you dare show me that attitude Ms. Park, I would never throw you guys away, in fact, I'm also coming to Mokdong to prepare you guys there—it's a collaboration project between Walkerhill and Mokdong" coach Sun Hee said as she eyed me warily and I sent her another one of my innocent smile.
"But why the sudden collaboration project though? I'm pretty sure if they don't need us they wouldn't give us the luxury of Mokdong facilities" Bokie said as she rubbed her chin with her hand.
"Don't you know?" Sun Jung suddenly said out of nowhere while taking a few steps forward. Both me and Bokie raised an eyebrow at her.
"This year final is a special occasion—they do pairs skating, couple skating" Sun Jung explained with a hand gesture gesturing two persons.
"My conclusion, this is why Mokdong needs us, they have four skaters and we have four too, they have boys and we have girls—it's that simple" Sun Jung shrugged and Soo Yun just nod her head at her statement.
"BINGO!" coach Sun Hee said as she clapped her hands surprising all of us.
"As I expected, smart Sun Jung!" she continued and patted Sun Jung on her back, she replied the coach with a small smile and nod. I internally scoffed at that.
I mean, the fact that she can answer that is probably because some insiders from the Seoul nationals' championship this year was telling her the information.
You can say she's always well-informed.
"As expected too, only me and Bokie doesn't know this news—what a coincidence don't you think?" I said sarcastically as I nudged Bokie with my elbow. Bokie kept a straight face while looking at Sun Jung, I swear if looks could kill she'll be ten feet under now.
"Alright guys, move your body and pack your gears, we'll be going to Mokdong right now—remember starting from tomorrow we will be practicing there, at least until the end of this year's final!" coach Sun Hee said as she clears the throat to get rid of the awkward tension that I created. I didn't even try to hide my scoff as I went to pack my belongings.
"She's getting even more annoying each day" Bokie said as she finished packing her ice skate and slung the bag on the right side of her shoulder.
"It's not a shocking news, I mean, she's the princess" I shrugged and we both headed towards the entrance of the rink where a bus will take us to Mokdong—it's one of the facilities that Walkerhill provided for us, our own private bus to go on a special occasion like this one.
As we arrived in front of the bus I heard Sun Jung and Soo Yun are giggling excitedly. I shot a curious glance at them but decided not to ask what makes them both so happy and overly excited. I entered the bus with Bokie that also had an annoyed look on her face, I nudged her with my elbow and motioned that we took the middle seat of the bus with my chin. I took my seat as Bokie slide her way beside me.
"I manage to take a look" Bokie said suddenly and I snapped my head to look at her.
"What?" I asked surprised and she just sigh while taking her phone out from her training jacket pocket. Out of instinct, I scoot closer to her and saw that she's typing something on her phone. She went to Naver and typed 'Mokdong Ice Rink Skaters'.
Suddenly thousands of news popped up and one in particular, the one that looks a lot like a fan site; it explains the four legendary members of Mokdong boy skaters.
"This is what I mean" Bokie mumbled to me and click the article that shows Mokdong skaters profile. I raised an eyebrow at her but joining to read the news nonetheless.
It shows the profile pictures, what the skaters likes and dislikes, where they are born and many other information. I could say these guys are almost like a K-pop idol at this rate.
"Why are you snooping on our soon to be partners?" I asked her with a smirk.
"Don't get me wrong, those two devils were giggling about this before and you know how curious I can get, I stealthily take a look" Bokie shrugged and kept on scrolling the article.
The article shows their names, there are Yong Kwang Sun, Baek Sang Ki, and Ye Jin Sang. As Bokie scrolled to the last skater profile, I swear my heart skips a beat.
It's him.
"Wow! Finally, we can meet the famous Yong Min Ho, hey Jin Ae, you know him right? The skater who almost do that quadruple jump? If Yuzuru Hanyu is the ice prince from Japan, then he's definitely the one from Korea" Bokie said as she nudged me and her eyes still glued to the profile picture of Yong Min Ho.
Oh my freaking God! It's him! What should I do?
Sensing my out of my state mind Bokie took a glance at me as she saw how pale my face is. She took a hold of my shoulders and shook me gently.
"Hey, Jin Ae! Are you okay?"
"Yeah... yeah I'm... fine" I answered her while still feeling unsure about my well-being.
Bokie took a look at me curiously as she tries to find and connect the dots. Suddenly she clapped her hands loudly, shocking the other people on the bus including the bus driver.
"Sorry!" Bokie yelled as she smiled sheepishly at everyone.
Suddenly Bokie lowered her voice and she faced me.
"It's him isn't it? The handsome guy from the train station?" she smiled mischievously as if she just discovered something exciting. I swear this girl can read minds.
I just nod at her unable to perform words from my mouth.
"Oh Shit!" Bokie said as she realized the situation.
Yeah Bokie, oh shit.

Who do you think will end up with who for the final championship?
