CHAPTER 9 Sweetest Smile (1/1)

It was already the middle of the day and still, both of your energy are on the extremes and you're off to your next destination - in the park.You rented bicycles that was his idea but not a good thing for you, especially you don't know how to ride it. You don't want to turn him down so you just climb on it and pretend that you are a pro, but still awkward."Hahahaha..." a loud laugh boomed.He is laughing? asking yourself.You stared at him as he walk closer to help you out."I'll teach you first.
