though mina was still worrying about riding the bike, she’d be lying if she said his smile and him pinching her cheeks doesn’t make her feel any better. if she thought she had it badbeforeshe started dating him and getting butterflies just from seeing his face, she would not know what to say to thatmina about thiseffect on her.

she watches him go on a couple’s bicycle on his own and she looks at him with a look of worry. it’s only natural, really. but she doesn’t stop him, as she wants to see him prove his point to see if it’d make her feel any better about the situation going on. that’s obviously hermistake as a girlfriend, but she doesn’t think too much about it. that is… until he lifts his hands off of the handles. “soobin, i don’t think that’s a good idea,” she tries to warn. but it was too late as he falls off the bicycle.

despite the anxiety that fills her brain on whether the boy was okay, a loud pfftleaves her mouth as she finds herself laughing out loud at the situation. the fact that she (and probably he) knew it was a bad idea, yet he still followed through with it and faced the consequences? it was comedically perfect.

but then she quickly stops as she finds herself rushing over to his side. stupid mina! your boyfriend’s probably in pain! “oh my GOD! are you okay?” she asks, her voice painted with worry. “i knew this was a bad idea! i don’t even know how you can say you’re all fine after a fall like that!”

soobin is a lot of things. he’s a tik toker, a student, but apparently, not very good at riding bicycles. at the back of his mind, he was aware that this was probably not a great idea –– thought it only hit him when he hit the ground, literally. he probably shouldn’t have taken his hands off the damn handles, but like any boy his age with the cutest girlfriend ever, he wanted to show off just a little. 

he stays on the ground and hears mina laughing at his pain. it helps though, because it has him smiling despite the stinging pain. “i’m glad you’re enjoying this,” he says, eyes turning to look at his girlfriend. but his words are hardly meant to be a jab to her, because he’s smiling too. he really is whipped. 

mina runs to his side after her short laughter and soobin turns to look at her, forcing himself to get up as he does so. “what can i say,” he says, because really what can he say –– “your boyfriend is a strong man –– OW,” he winces when he attempts to run a hand through his hair. “i’m fine, it’s good,” he says, not wanting to worry mina. “but look! riding a couple’s bicycle is totally safe… if you keep your hands on the handles!” he says, smiling as he dimples dig into his skin, hoping that she at least feels a little more reassured, even if he’s accidentally done the opposite.

mina knew the perks of being in a relationship. she’s watched movies, listened to catchy love songs, and (she will deny it, but) has read stories about having a significant other who she could count on. someone who could make her feel better about any situation easily. every time they talked to each other, mina feels the same side effects they all mention. the butterflies in the stomach, the immediate smile just from being with him, and how she could practically melt in his arms every time they hug. it’s a shameshe can’t be too public about how much she loves her boyfriend because she wants to tell the worldabout how happy he makes her feel. ( was that too cheesy? thank goodness she’s only thinking it. )

so going to the picnic with him was obviously something she was up for. she already had imagined how the date (date.date? date!!!!!!!!!) would be in her head. they’d be so cheesyandcuteandromanticand they’d be able to do so much together!! even if that included… tandem biking. if it was normalbiking, she’d be fine with it. but this? she can already imagine how she’d easily fall off and scrape her pretty legs that she needed for dancing!! oh GOD!! anything but her legs.

she didn’t realize that her reluctance was showing on her face and she starts to feel a bit guilty. it’s not like she didn’t wantto do it. she’d do anything for soobin, even if it’s something she didn’t originally want to do. the arm around her shoulder surprises her, but it feels comforting at the same time. after listening to him, she couldn’t but feel her heart melt just from his words. when he tries to make her smile by lifting the edges of her lips with his thumbs, it turns genuine, especially with the tease that follows afterward. “you’re adorable,” she says with the smile still on her face before it goes back into a pout. “are you sure it’s okay i don’t pedal with you? isn’t it supposed to be a group effort? i don’t want you to get hurt, too…”

he’s not too sure if he’s ever felt this kind of thing before. but he likes it; it’s a different kind of happiness altogether. and in order to keep this happiness, he wants to do everything he can. he smiles at his girlfriend and gently pinches her cheeks. she’s so adorable, and soobin will never tire from thinking that. “of course,” he replies. 

in order to show his determination, he gets on the bicycle. because despite his love for all things that aren’t troublesome, his feelings for mina hold greater. and if there’s any way possible that he can comfort her, he at least wants to try. 

it’s supposed to be a couple’s bicycle, and in that moment, soobin doesn’t think about how the weight doesn’t quite balance since he’s the only one sitting. but he wants to reassure mina. and what better way to do that then by doing something that your parents told you never to do? “look,” he says, and he begins to pedal. everything goes smoothly, until soobin makes the wise decision to life both his hands from the handle. “even with no hands it’s completely fin ––” thunk!he falls off the bicycle ( in a not very cool way ), and groans.

this is. embarrassing. and it also hurts. thankfully, he isn’t injured badly, just a few scrapes here and there. he turns to look at his girlfriend and gives her a thumbs up, groaning as he does so. he’s never been a good actor, so he can’t exactly hide the pain. “it’s completely fine,” he says, before he falls back to the floor in pain. “babe…”

it’s like every love song in the world is finally starting to make sense ( the ones about realizing you’re in love, and feeling like you’re on cloud nine. none of that lauv or lany nonsense ). soobin’s got a girlfriend. he’s got a girl that he really likes and that he enjoys spending time with. and they’re going! on! a date! some might think it’s uncharacteristic of soobin to be the type of boyfriend that cared for these things, and while he might seem that way due to his mostly uncaring, prefer to be out of anyone’s business, personality, when it came to mina, he cared a lot.

there’s actually a lot of things that he’d like to do with mina. for example, rent a swan paddle, walk through the park, have a romantic picnic, kiss her under the stars. but for now they settle on cycling together and soobin’s completely fine with that. but mina looks a little enthused about it, and being the boyfriend ( !! ) that he is, soobin takes it upon himself to check on his girlfriend.

“babe,” he says, putting an arm around her shoulder; one of the perks to being tall for his age, “are you alright?” he asks as they walk towards the bicycle. “you don’t even have to move too much! just leave the pedalling to me, and you can enjoy the view. i want you to enjoy yourself,” he uses his thumb to gently lift the edges of her lips. “the view being either the park or me of course. whichever you prefer,” he teases.
