fem!soo/kai
originally written for kaisoo day, scrapped the idea and wrote another one. skate!au with a rough and tough looking kai who is actually a huge sweetheart and kyunhee harbors a reluctant crush on him. they end up together and promise to text and skype until she comes back next summer. other pairings include baekyeol, xiuhan and taohun. luhan works at the convenience store with yixing.
Kyunghee really doesn't want to do it. She's content with staying in her room all summer, reading and watching movies on her laptop, wasting the days away. Why did her parents think forcing her to hang out with her twin sister was ever a good idea?
"Kyunghee, come on!" Baekhee nearly yells, walking backwards down the sidewalk.
"No," is the stern reply.
She would drag her feet but these are new shoes. The vise-like grip on her wrist is forever unyielding so Kyunghee accepts her fate as the skate park comes into view around the corner.
"Baby!" Chanyeol shouts, running over to sweep Baekhee into his arms. Kyunghee fake gags.
She quickly swallows her tongue as Chanyeol heaves her up, swinging her around. All attempts of protest are met with slobbery kisses on her cheek.
"Gross," Kyunghee complains, rubbing at her face.
"You don't see me for a year and this is the greeting I get?" He pouts and Kyunghee rolls her eyes in fake annoyance. He gets a hug anyways (albeit a muffled you buffoon into his shirt).
Kyunghee takes turn greeting all their old friends: a sweet hug from Xiumin, a nod from Sehun and a wave from Kris.
Everyone seems to be there. Xiumin, a nice and quiet girl with short pink hair, is a great skater and very underestimated by any boys who go up against her. There's Sehun too, a year younger than herself, one of Chanyeol's friends from middle school. But there's a tall and rather intimidating girl practically hanging off of him. Kris, another one of Chanyeol's friends. But there's one more person Kyunghee doesn't recognize.
"Baek, who's the tan kid?" she asks.
Chanyeol pushes a skateboard at Baekhee, who flips it into her hand.
"That's Kai. He transferred here this year and he's Sehun's friend. He's a great skater, a natural even," Chanyeol comments.
Kyunghee can't deny (even with her limited knowledge of skateboarding) Kai looks like he has a lot of skill, making rail grinding seem effortless.
