The Rules | JAEMIN

Chapter 27

Jaemin chuckled, putting an arm around the girl. "Nice to know that my girlfriend likes extreme sports too."

"Oh my gosh I love them." Zhilan told him. "When it snows, I'll teach you how to snowboard."

"Here you go, assuming that I don't already know that." Jaemin teased, making Zhilan shake her head.

"Skating?"

"Surfing?"

"Bungee jumping?"

"Okay, I admit, I haven't done that." Jaemin told the girl.

"I haven't either. Let's do it together." Zhilan said, smiling back at him.

Jaemin was honestly in disbelief. He had no idea that the girl was into extreme sports like him. It was hard to find someone that was as daring and athletic as him, and the fact that it was someone he was so madly in love with was just the cherry on top.

"Wait, you said you wanted to learn a trick." Jaemin said, remembering why they were there in the first place. Zhilan nodded her head.

"You see that rail?" Zhilan said, pointing to the bar in front of them. "I never quite got that."

"You mean this?" Jaemin said, before proceeding to ride the board. He jumped onto the rail, sliding along it effortlessly before hopping off, the boarding spinning a few times before he landed on it.

"Show off!" Zhilan called out as he returned towards her.

"Don't worry." Jaemin said, ruffling her hair. "By the time we finish tonight, you'll be able to do most of that too."

...

Zhilan gulped as she pushed off the board, headed straight towards the rail.

By now the sun had already set, the sky dark and the other kids gone. But Zhilan had yet to conquer the rail and was adamant on getting it before they returned home.

Jaemin was a complete skateboard pro, beyond any of her expectations. She was thankful for that too, as if he wasn't, there was no way that she would be getting the trick down by tonight.

Jaemin was the best cheerleader too, always giving her encouraging words when she began heading towards the rail. It often ended with her losing balance halfway though, falling into his arms while the skateboard landed on ground.

Jaemin would always give her a quick kiss before placing her back down on her feet, saying "let's try again." The two would then go get the skateboard from wherever it landed before returning to the starting point again.

They had taken a quick break to get some kimbap from a nearby convenient store for dinner before continuing again. With the energy that the food gave her, Zhilan felt herself doing much better.

Come on, you almost got it! Zhilan told herself as she pushed off again, the board speeding towards the rail.

Jaemin ran by her side as she jumped onto the rail, sliding down it on the board. She was a little nervous as the end of the rail came closer, but focused as she jumped off it.

When she landed on the board, Zhilan was completely shocked, hands coming to her face as Jaemin ran towards her, lifting her up and spinning her in a circle.

"You did it!" Jaemin cried out, his voice full of pure happiness. "I'm so proud of you."

"I couldn't have done it without you, Jaemin." Zhilan said, pressing her lips against his for a soft kiss.

Jaemin had a huge smile on his face, filling her with happiness as he held her tighter, kissing her once again.

"You did so well, Zhilan." Jaemin whispered, holding the girl in his arms. "Gosh you make me so happy."

"You do too, Jaemin." Zhilan said as she stared into her boyfriend's eyes, his beautiful round eyes that she could get lost in all day long. "You mean so much to me, I'm so glad that we found each other."

"If you're going to say that to another guy, at least change the wording up a bit." A familiar voice snickered, making shivers run down Zhilan's back.

The couple turned their heads to the owner of the voice, a male with dark hair and carefully sculpted eyebrows, a smirk on his face as he stood there, arms crossed.

"Xiaojun."
