Malcolm's POV

I looked at the mirror in my room to see if what I was wearing was okay. It's just us going to a carnival again so I didn't have to dress too grand.

I heard my phone chime so I checked who messaged me.

(Jeongin): Hyung! We're already here! We'll go inside in a bit so go in once you get here, okay?

I sighed as I was expecting a message from Chaeyoung. Even a "hi" or a "stay safe" would be enough.

I hope she's doing okay right now

I left the house and took a cab towards the carnival. With every passing minute, I would check my phone if Chae message me.

I arrived at the area and walked towards the carnival. I passed by restaurants and other stores but as my eyes roam around, my gaze stops at a familiar person sitting at one of the tables outside a restaurant.

I jogged up to her as she was too busy looking at her phone.

Dahyun's POV

"Looks like your date ditched you, too" My head goes up as a familiar voice gets my attention.

"Oh? Malcolm! What are you doing here?" I asked, surprised.

"I was going to ask you the same thing" He said flashing me his smile.

Stupid! Why do you always have to be so charming!?

"Ah...well, I was waiting for Eunwoo but he's not replying" I sighed.

"The guys told me to go inside once I get here. Why don't you just wait for him inside?" He suggested but I hesitated for a bit.

"I, uh...okay. I think we should. Let's go inside?" I asked and he nodded.

I stood from my seat and we both went in the carnival together. Immediately, the sounds of people talking, screaming and shouting as well as the rides' mechanical sounds fill our ears.

I looked at him as he smiled at the sight. He noticed and looked at me.

"Is there something wrong?" He asked.

"Ah! N-No! Nothing's wrong" I reassured him as he chuckled.

"Well, what do you want to ride first, Dubu?" He asked.

I took a look around and immediately agreed with myself that we won't ride the rollercoaster.

"What about the...pirate ship?" He suggested.

"Oh, are you sure?" I asked with hesitation as I wasn't a fan of heights.

"Yeah! Come on!" He said with excitement before taking my hand and dragging me towards the it.

The line wasn't too long as we were able to get into the next batch of people. I looked at the ride nervously as it wasn't like the other pirate ships I rode on before due to this one being two times the height of the ones I've been on.

"Hey, are you okay?" Malcolm asked which snapped me back.

"I-uh, yeah. I'm fine" I chuckled nervously.

"You can hold onto me if you're scared" He chuckled as he offered his arm.

I scoffed at his attempt in flirting before pushing him away gently making him laugh.

The last batch just got off and it was our turn. Malcolm insisted that sitting at the rear end of the ship was the best way to experience it.

As we sat, I looked for the seat belt and froze as I realized there wasn't any. The fact that bars didn't fully hug our lower half didn't help at safety which made me more nervous.

I looked next to me to see Malcolm's face bursting with excitement as the conductor rang the bell which meant the ride will start. I held on to the bar as of my life depended on it as the ride started.

The ship swung forward as I felt my butt get off the seat which made my eyes go wide. The swinging started getting heavier and stronger and I couldn't help but scream out of fear compared to Malcolm, who was screaming out of fun.

Before I knew it, my arms were already around his waist as I was screaming for it to stop with eyes closed shut.

"PLEASE LET IT STOP!" I screamed.

"Uhh...Dubu, the ride is done already" Malcolm said as I opened my eyes to see that most of the people were getting off already and I was still holding onto him which prompted me to let go as fast as possible.

My cheeks were red due to the embarrassment of what I just did.

"What ride should we ride next?" Malcolm asked with a smile as we got off.

"Anything...would be fine" I said but regretted after.

We continued going to many rides and...as if he was some magnet, I was getting close or holding on to him unconsiously. It was like I was getting drawn to him more and more as the rides go.

"Let me have some of yours!" I pouted as Malcolm stuck his tongue out to me after I lend him some of my cotton candy.

"Fine! Just a bite, okay?" He smiled as he playfully rolled his eyes before holding out his corndog for me to take a bit of.

With a devilish idea, I smirked and took a big bite out of it and waited for his reaction.

"There now we're even!" I smirked at him as I waited for his reaction but when I looked up at his face showing sorrow as he stared at something.

I looked at the direction and saw what he was staring at. To my horror, it was Chaeyoung and some guy holding hands being lovey dovey as they walk through the crowd of people.

I looked back at Malcolm and see a tear running down his face as his breath hitched. The food in his hand fell to the floor and before I knew it, he was gone.

I looked at the direction where Chaeyoung and the other guy was at before chasing Malcolm.

Chaeng...what have you done?
