"Good evening, Jungkook." One of his friend here greets.

"Hey, Hwa, good evening," Jungkook greeted back with a small smile. He walked into the hallway towards the rink, mostly empty at this hour. He had missed his class today because some relatives had visited his home, and, like a good son, he had to entertain them with his parents, though he was bored out of his mind.

Entering the ice rink, he found the place empty but well-lit. Jungkook sat down, put on his blue skates, and placed his phone on a bench nearby. As he turned on his music, the notes echoed through the silent space, and Jungkook found himself standing in the middle of the rink. He raised his hands in the air as the voice of one of his favorite singers filled the place. "Reflection" by The Neighbourhood started to play at full volume.

Jungkook closed his eyes.

"Where have you been?
Do you know when you're coming back?
'Cause since you've been gone
I've got along but I've been sad."

As the words played, his hands moved gracefully, slicing through the air. He began to skate, each movement fluid and deliberate, as if he were dancing on ice. His skates carved smooth lines into the pristine surface, gliding effortlessly as he leaned into each turn.

"I tried to put it out for you to get
Could've, should've but you never did
Wish you wanted it a little bit
More but it's a chore for you to give."

The lyrics suddenly resonated too deeply with him. Though he had listened to this song countless times before, today it felt different, almost personal.

Jungkook skated faster, letting the music guide his body. His arms extended like wings, and he spun effortlessly, the chill of the rink mingling with the warmth of his emotions. He leapt into the air, performing a perfect axel, landing softly and continuing his dance without missing a beat.

"We were too close to the stars
I never knew somebody like you, somebody
Falling just as hard
I'd rather lose somebody than use somebody
Maybe it's a blessing in disguise"

No! its not! Jungkook don't have any doubt in it, it's not a blessing in disguise, no matter how much it's feels good, no matter how much he cravers the ... kiss again..

"I see my reflection in your eyes."

Reflection? Yes, he saw his reflection in someone's eyes. They had been too close, too close ..

He skated backwards, his movements precise and controlled, then transitioned into a graceful spiral, one leg extended behind him as he spun slowly.

"I know you're sick
Hoping you fix whatever's broken
Ignorant bliss
And a few sips might be the potion."

Could anything ever be fixed between Jungkook and him? No... never.

He pushed forward into a series of intricate footwork, his blades barely touching the ice as he weaved intricate patterns. His body moved with the music, each note translating into a step, a turn, a jump.

"So close, so close
Yet so far away (so far)
I don't know (I don't)
How to be solo (no)
So don't go, oh, no, just stay
You and I were bright, shooting through the sky daily (yeah)
Lighting up the night, wasn't always right, baby (mm-hmm)
Yeah, every time that we realized it's crazy."

He closed his eyes, letting the music take over. His movements became more fluid, more expressive. Each glide and turn on the ice felt like an extension of his emotions. His arms moved like a painter's brush on a canvas, creating arcs and lines that only he could see. He performed a series of complex spins, his body twisting and turning with a precision that spoke of years of practice and passion.
