Song Yu-Chan

Yu-chan ran towards you excitedly, took your hand, and led you to his garage when you arrived at the entrance of his house. He opened the garage door and showed you his brand-new motorcycle with a radiant smile. Taking his helmet, you both headed to the nearby parking lot.

Yu-chan walked slowly with his motorcycle beside you, rambling incessantly about how much he'd wanted a motorcycle. He started boasting about how easy he thought it would be to learn to ride it. Well, he was wrong. The only thing he'd easily mastered was keeping his balance, since it was almost the same as his bicycle, which was lying somewhere in the garden. Everything else was... not so easy.

Getting used to the controls, he fiddled with the buttons and handles. You had lost count of how many times he had fallen. Scraped palms and knees, dust and gravel on his clothes. He rubbed his palms, claiming this would be the last time. He would ride it to the other side without falling.

It was the thousandth time he'd said it. He returned, walking with the motorcycle and frowning. He sighed, getting back on, this time with you too, and slowly encircling you. Very slowly. He released a handle and opened the visor.

"I don't think I'll ever get the hang of it. Do you think so?"
