Learning Again

Twenty Two

"'Are you Disney bounding today?!"' Amy asked as I walked into the kitchen, my bag in hand.

"'I am, Amy!"' I said and sighed as I realized Wooyoung, Seonghwa, and San weren't down here.

"WOOYOUNG, SEONGHWA, SAN, GET DOWN HERE OR I AM LEAVING WITHOUT YOU!" I yelled through the house, the others snickering as the three came stampeding down the steps.

"'Here."' I looked at my mom then smiled as she handed me the tickets.

"'They're linked to your account, you are the primary-"'

"'I've been, they haven't! I kind of figured!"' I laughed then mom sighed.

"'Take the Tahoe, drive safe! Please, Anaheim traffic-"'

"'Is nowhere near as bad as Seoul during end of the work day traffic!"' I promised and held her arms.

"'Mom, I'm grown up now! Let me be an adult, please! Send Amy down to Pattie's, take Paul out on a date and have mid-day sex-"'

'"MADISON!"' Mom shrieked, which made me laugh as I hugged her neck.

"'You're the best mom ever!"' I whispered and let her go, kissing her cheek and leaving a red lip print there.

"'We need to go, but I will see you guys later-"'

"'You have my house key!"' Paul assured and I waved the keys to the Tahoe, shouldering my bag and leading the guys to the garage.

"Will we all fit in that?" Hongjoong asked as they saw the Tahoe.

"Yes!" I grinned and got into the front, behind the wheel. Instantly, I knew Paul drove it last.

"God, I hate lanky legs!" I whispered and immediately went about setting the car for myself.

"What?!" Mingi asked, but I giggled and grabbed his hand.

"Not yours, babe!" I laughed then he relaxed in his seat.

"Gross, you two are cute!" San teased, but I rolled my eyes and pressed the button for the garage, opening it and putting the SUV into drive.

"Shut up, San! You are the same way with your dolls!" I said and heard laughter as I drove, holding Mingi's hand in my own.

"I didn't know you could drive!" Jongho said and I nodded, wincing as I let Mingi go to pull my sunglasses over my eyes. When I was done, I grabbed Mingi's hand from his leg where he'd put it.

"I'm not done holding you!" I said and he smiled, that cute little smile that told me his anxiety went away.

"I can, Jongho! I just... don't!" I said and got onto the highway, going towards Disneyland. As we drove, Mingi frowned and reached over, turning on the AUX and pulling his hand away from mine, connecting the cord to his phone then handing it to Hongjoong.

"Ooh!" Hongjoong cheered and leaned forward as Mingi grabbed my hand, lacing his fingers with mine.

"What to put on?" Hongjoong asked himself, but the entire car had an opinion. After a solid minute of arguing, I growled and pulled the cord from my boyfriend's phone, plugging it into mine as I kept my wrist on the wheel, which was extremely dangerous but whatever.

"Maddie!" Seonghwa complained, but I scrolled through my Spotify and tapped the song I wanted. As I dropped my phone into the cupholder, I turned the knob up and heard the guys cheer as Pirate King began playing.

"God, just play something!" I laughed, grinning wider as everyone sang their parts. When we got to the gate of Disneyland, I turned the music down and rolled the window down.

"Mingi, can you grab my wallet please?" I asked as we rolled up to the cast person.

"'Hi!"' She grinned and I smiled as Mingi handed me my wallet. I grabbed my ID and the ticket then handed them to her.

"'Ah, coming from Korea, I see!"' She said and I saw she spoke Korean on her tag.

"We are, yeah!" I grinned and she lit up.

"Oh, I just miss it!" Lady, please give me the damn parking pass so we can go!

"Really?!" I grinned and tapped my finger on the door, her eyes going to it.

"Anyway, here you go! Just follow that line there for preferred!" She pointed me in the right direction and I smiled.

"I will, thank-"

"I'm sorry, but is that guy there taken?!" She asked, pointing to Mingi, which made my smile fall.

"He is, sweetheart! By me, every night! It's so weird, you act like you're not a cock sucking hoe, yet here you are!" I said and snatched my ID and ticket back from her.

"Stop hitting on guests, it's disgusting!" I growled and drove away from the gate.

"Maddie!" The guys laughed as I rolled my window up, but I glared at the road and turned the music up, blocking out their laughs as I went to preferred parking. Technically, I could get disability because of my knee, but I wasn't about to fuss over it.

"What?!" I asked as the guys were still snickering when we got out of the car.

"You were so mean!" Yeosang said, but I scoffed and grabbed my bag, shouldering it and pulling my hair up.

"She pissed me off!" I said and started walking, squealing as Mingi's arms wrapped around me then he sighed into my hair, kissing my temple.

"You're hot when you're mad at other people, Maddie!" He whispered to me, but I lightly elbowed his gut and he grinned.

"Shut up, you!" I laughed and held his hand, walking with him to the front of the park. As we scanned in, I grabbed my phone and bit my lip, getting my disability pass for the first ride.

"Are you going to be okay, Maddie?" Seonghwa asked and looked at my knee.

"I've got my brace and pain medicine-"

"What if that's not enough though?" Mingi asked and I smiled at him.

"Then beep-beep, I'll get a scooter!" I laughed and pocketed my phone.

"Let's go! We need a cheesy picture in front of the castle!" I said and grabbed Mingi's and San's hands, pulling them to the castle for a photo.
