Lisa walked  into a room filled with music. Even as a casual listener, she could tell that this music was likely played with guqin. The tune was melodious yet rousing, just like the gushing water of riverbed.

The door leading out of the room was not fully shut, and the tune flowed out from there.

Entranced by the music, she subconsciously pushed open the door and walked in.

Facing  the door was the large, flat expanse of an ice rink. On the pristine white ice, a figure was dancing.

Ah, No, Skating.

Clothed in a plain black training suit, his limbs appeared slender but strong. Following the music's tempo, he glided on the ice spinning, jumping and soaring. Every time he landed, the friction of his skates against the ice created a smattering of ice shavings.

Lisa had no idea if it was because of the ice skates but his every movement was exceptionally graceful. It was as if he was an inky black butterfly flitting by the stream in the midst of mountain valley.

Lisa was mesmerized by this delightful performance. She couldn't help but to take a few steps forward and seek a clear view of the skater's face.

Suddenly, a voice rang out and halted her, "That student over there, may I know who you're looking for?"

Lisa paused her steps. She saw that there were quite a few people in the ice rink. Some were sitting while some standing. Some were in ordinary outfits while some were in training suits.

The one who spoke was a long-haired, middle-aged woman wearing a tracksuit. Seeing how Lisa did not reply her, she added, "We're in the middle of training". Her words implied that Lisa should quickly leave if she had no business there.

Lisa scratched her head. "Ah s...sorry".

She averted her gaze and was about to turn and leave.

At this moment, the figure on the ice unexpectedly stopped his routine. Using the leftover momentum, he effortlessly changed direction and glided towards Lisa on his skates.

The inky black butterfly flitted nearer and nearer.

Lisa was momentarily surprised but immediately followed with a smile. "Why is it you?"

This person was precisely the young guy that she had mistakenly recognized at the eatery. She did not thought that she would see him again so soon.

Against the contrast of his black outfit, he skin was like snow. Having just exercised, there was a healthy red flush on the soft curves of his cheeks. His fringes was soaked with sweat and plastered to his forehead.

Seeing the state of his fringe, Lisa had an urge to sweep it back for him.

To Lisa's question, he did not answer and merely smiled.

With this smile, a light dimple appeared on the left side of his face. The overall effect was pretty adorable.

His smile infectiously made Lisa giggled as well. After laughing, she was about to speak when someone clamped down on her shoulder.

The force exerted was not light. This action caused her entire shoulder to heavily weigh down.

After clamping down, the hand did not withdrew but instead stayed on her shoulder.

Lisa's face darkened. She turned her head to see Jungkook's good looking and punchable face.

Jungkook's brows was lightly raised. His striking eyes held an unfathomable trace of an odd amusement. "What are you up to?"
