minho had always been a man of routine. his weekends were typically spent lounging at home, engrossed in his favorite books or catching up on the latest movies. so when his best friend chan insisted on dragging him to a hockey game one saturday evening, minho was less than thrilled.
"come on, min! it'll be a great experience," chan exclaimed, practically bouncing with excitement. "you've got to witness the electrifying atmosphere of a live game!"
reluctantly, minho agreed, unable to resist chan's infectious enthusiasm. he figured it might be an opportunity to break free from his usual routine and try something new.
as they entered the bustling arena, minho couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the sea of people clad in team colours. the thunderous cheers and echoing chants filled the air, creating an atmosphere he hadn't experienced before. chan led the way, expertly maneuvering through the crowds, until they finally reached their seats.
minho took his place beside Chan, scanning the crowd and trying to comprehend the rules of the game. he found it difficult to keep up with the swift movement of the players and the puck, but he admired their athleticism and the intensity of their actions.
just as he was starting to relax into the game, the crowd erupted in cheers and laughter. minho turned his attention towards the giant screens scattered throughout the arena, where the "kiss cam" segment was about to begin.
the camera roamed the audience, capturing couples who shared sweet kisses to the delight of the crowd. minho watched with mild amusement, never expecting to be caught up in such a spectacle himself. yet fate had other plans in store.
as the camera swept across the rows, it suddenly settled on minho and a boy seated next to him. they exchanged surprised glances, their eyes widening in unison as the realization sunk in. the audience erupted in cheers and catcalls, nudging Minho and Jisung to oblige.
heat rushed to Minho's cheeks, his heart pounding in his chest. he turned to jisung, who wore an equally flustered expression. in that moment, they shared a silent agreement and decided to play along, giving the crowd what they wanted.
leaning closer, minho closed his eyes, feeling the briefest brush of jisung's lips against his own. the crowd erupted into a collective "aww," their cheers echoing through the arena. minho couldn't help but feel a jolt of electricity at the unexpected connection, his heart racing faster than ever before.
as the camera moved on to other unsuspecting attendees, minho and jisung exchanged shy smiles. they began chatting, laughter mingling with the boisterous sounds of the game, as if the kiss cam had magically broken the ice between them.
they discovered a shared love for the sport, discussing their favorite players and memorable hockey moments. their conversation flowed effortlessly, as if they had known each other for much longer than a mere intermission.
as the game continued, minho found himself stealing glances at jisung, captivated by his genuine smile and sparkling eyes. jisung's laughter was infectious, and minho found himself drawn to the warmth and authenticity he exuded.
as the final buzzer sounded, signaling the end of the game, minho felt a twinge of disappointment. he wasn't ready for the evening to end. fortunately, Jisung seemed to share the sentiment.
"would you like to grab a cup of coffee?" jisung asked, his voice carrying a hint of nervousness.
minho's heart skipped a beat, a smile spreading across his face. "i'd love to."
and so, they left the arena together, stepping into a world beyond the confines of the game. as they walked side by side, minho realized that sometimes the most memorable moments are born from unexpected encounters and the willingness to step out of one's comfort zone.
little did he know that this hockey game would mark the beginning of a beautiful journey with jisung, one filled with laughter, shared interests, and countless kisses that would make the kiss cam pale in comparison.
