Chapter 84: Snowboard Races & Soulmate Chases

"Come on jagiya,"

Yoongi murmurs, steadying me as he helps me to my feet.

"Try again."

I glance up at him, and despite his usual gruffness, there's softness in his eyes.

Joon moves in next, adjusting my stance while keeping a gentle hold on my arms.

"You've got this."

Tae slides beside me.

"And if you don't, it'll be hilarious, so really-it's a win-win."

I shove him playfully. "You're the worst."

"You love me," he sings.

And ofcourse just like every other time,
I fall. Again.

Jin oppa groans dramatically. "At this point, you're collecting more snow than actual progress."

"I hate you," I mumble, flopping onto my back.

"You love me," he grins.

Before I can argue, Namjoon kneels next to me, his warm hands brushing snow off my face.

"You're tense," he murmurs, brushing his fingers lightly over my wrist.

I blink up at him, momentarily distracted.

"I am?"

"Mmhmm," he hums.

"Loosen up. Trust the board."

I sigh, taking a breath.

Then-I feel Yoongi's hands on my waist.

"You're overthinking it," he says quietly.

"Let your body move naturally."

My heart stutters.

Between Joon's soft encouragement, Yoongi's hands keeping me steady, Oppa and Tae's constant teasing, I feel warm despite the cold.

"Alright," I exhale. "One more time."

And this time-I don't fall.

By the time we finish snowboarding, the golden lights feel even more enchanting, casting long shadows across the untouched snow.

Then-I make a terrible decision.

I scoop up a handful of snow and chuck it directly at Jin oppa's face.

The second of silence that follows?

Terrifying.

Jin oppa slowly wipes the snow from his cheek.

Then-a wicked grin.

"Oh. It's war."

Before I can react, he launches a snowball directly at me.

Chaos erupts.

Tae screams, diving behind a tree.
