WRONG CHOICE

what a weird ride

Maria and taehyung POV

Tae paced his speed, trying to catch up to Maria who was already a mile ahead of him.

Tae: Maria, are you truly human? (catching his breath)
Maria: I was just walking at my regular pace. You're the one who moves like a sloth here. (laughs at her own joke)
Tae crossed his arms over his chest.
Tae: Did you say something? (raising an eyebrow)

Maria pressed her lips together, restraining herself from saying anything, and shook her head in response.

Tae: Good.

Tae took a seat, settling comfortably on the ride, while Maria sat across from him.

Maria: Have you ever been on this ride before? (Tae pretended to be experienced, but in reality, he had never ridden this type of ride before.)

Tae: Oh, absolutely! I'm a pro at this ride. I've been on it countless times. You're in for a treat, Maria!

Maria: Well, well, confident, aren't we? Let's see if your skills match up to your claims. I'm ready to take on the challenge.

Tae, secretly nervous but trying to maintain his cool, takes a deep breath and prepares for the ride to begin.

The ride starts with a sudden jolt, and Tae holds on tightly to the handles, trying to hide his anxiety.

Maria, on the other hand, starts to enjoy the thrilling sensation and lets out a burst of laughter.

Maria: Woo-hoo! This is amazing! Are you sure you've ridden this before, Tae?

Tae, struggling to keep his composure, responds with a determined tone.

Tae: Absolutely, Maria! Just getting warmed up, you'll see.

As the ride continues, Tae tries to mimic the movements he has seen others do on this ride, hoping to convince Maria that he's experienced.

Maria, noticing his attempts, can't help but chuckle.

Maria: Tae, I have to admit, you're quite the entertainer. But I still have my doubts about your "pro" status.

Tae, now realizing he can't fool Maria, smiles sheepishly.

Tae: Okay, you got me. This is actually my first time on this ride. But hey, where's the fun if we can't enjoy a little friendly competition, right?

Maria laughs and playfully nudges Tae's shoulder.

Maria: That's true, Tae. Let's just enjoy the ride together, and may the best adventurer win!

Tae nods, relieved to have been honest.

After the initial circular ride, the attraction transitions into a swinging motion, alternating between clockwise and counterclockwise rotations. This thrilling movement prompts them to hold hands.

Tae and Maria engage in some playful banter after Tae accidentally bumps his head due to the force of the ride's anticlockwise motion.

Tae: "Yahhh!!! Why does this ride have...?"
(Tae's head bumps against something)
Maria: "Ouch! Aish! Your head is like a coconut."
Tae: "Haha, same goes for you, mimicking each other."
Maria experiences the intense spinning sensation caused by the ride, making her feel dizzy and nauseous.

Maria: "This ride is insane... I feel my head spinning roundly because of it."
Tae: "I agree, Maria. We should leave immediately before you start feeling sick. Let's find a less intense attraction."
Upon hearing Tae's suggestion to leave the ride, Taehyung firmly secures himself in his seat, indicating that he doesn't want to take any immediate action.
