The icy surface of the nighttime arena shimmered under the dim lights, reflecting every figure. Taehyung glided, tracing complex arcs, his body the embodiment of grace. A five-time Korean champion and world medalist, his name had already made history as the first to land a quadruple loop at the senior level. But today, every push echoed in his thigh with a dull groan, and Taehyung knew he was on the edge.

The sudden screeching of skates against the boards made him flinch. Jungkook stood in the doorway, enveloped in a halo of cold air. A skater from another city, a new, calm, and terrifyingly reserved face that had already become his main rival. His presence, as always, evoked a storm of emotions in Taehyung.

Taehyung didn't exchange a glance, merely quickened his pace, as if trying to push his opponent out of his space. He picked up speed, preparing for the loop, the very quad that had brought him glory. Pain in his hip flared like lightning, but he ignored it, pushing himself into the air. The takeoff was strong, but something went wrong on the landing. A sharp blow pierced the muscle like a blade. Taehyung lost his balance, and the world spun before he crashed onto the cold ice with a dull thud.

A sharp, unbearable pain paralyzed all his movements. He lay there, breathing heavily, feeling his thigh throb and the icy moisture seeping through his tracksuit. Jungkook appeared beside him instantly. He knelt down, his face, usually so inscrutable, expressing only calm concentration. Taehyung felt that intense, searching gaze on him.

Carefully, Jungkook helped Taehyung up, supporting him by the arm. Every step was a throbbing pain, but Jungkook's support kept him from falling. He carefully removed Taehyung's skates, then his own. As they exited the arena, Jungkook offered his hand.

"Come on, let's get your things and I'll take you home," Jungkook said, firmly grabbing Taehyung's hand. "Does it hurt a lot? Will you be able to walk?"
