After a lot of discussion, the teenagers decided to split up according to the rides they wanted, then meet at the food court twenty minutes later to rearrange the groups.

As of now, Mia managed to be in the same group as Jisung, Hyunjin and Doyum, since all of them wanted to go to the bumper cars.

"We should make a bet. Whoever gets hit the most pays for our drinks later." – The girl suggested while they stood in the queue.

"That's unfair, though! What if the other three gang up on one person? And I feel like I would be that person." – Doyum glanced at the other two boys.

"Ay, we wouldn't!"

"I promise we won't." – Mia assured. "Come on~ It's more thrilling with a bet!" – She pushed him lightly with her body weight.

"You're so annoying." – Doyum slightly glanced back at the two before taking a step to the front.

"I feel like I'm in a teen movie right now." – He whispered. "You're the protagonist in the middle of a love triangle and I'm the best friend who's always giving advice.

"Incorrect. You never give decent advice."

"I never said it was decent."

The two split away before any unwanted suspicion arose.

"Okay! You've convinced me, I'm in!"

"I'm out, Ferris Wheels are boring." – Felix was the first to answer his sister.

"Me too." – Jeongin spoke.

Mia exchanged looks with her two best friends, who immediately got the message.

"Jisung! Do you want to go with us?" – Jihan asked, earning an odd gaze from two boys.

"O-oh, sure! Who else?"

"Me!" – Doyum raised his hand. "It's better if it's an even number so no one gets left out...anyone?"

Silence.

"Okay! We're going, then! See y'all later for ice cream." – He put both arms around the girls' shoulders and walked towards the big wheel a few meters away.

When they reached the queue, Jihan pulled her friend further from the boys.

"You know this is your best chance, right? Me and Doyum will go together, so you should confess."

"What?!" – Mia whisper-yelled. "Confessing at a Ferris Wheel, really? That's too old style...not fun at all. A haunted house sounds better."

"Oh, God. That's why you're still single!"

Mia raised an eyebrow. "You're still single too?"

"That's different!"

"Are you done with your meeting? It's almost our turn." – Doyum purposefully interrupted them.

They spent the rest of the time bickering, as usual. While Jisung stood there amused, Mia contemplated whether she should be cliché and confess inside of the cabin or just do it some other time – whenever that would be.

"Huh? I thought you girls would go together?" – Han commented after Doyum nearly pushed him to sit with Jihan.

Mia only shrugged before entering the next cabin.

"Do you remember when we first met?" – He suddenly asked.

"At the Cafe? Yeah."

"You have no idea how happy I got when you asked for my number." – He laughed to himself. "I was like a little kid receiving candy."

"Ah...I'm glad I made you feel that way?" – She questioned, more towards herself than to him.

"You make me feel that way every time we're together."

Oh...

Is this...?

"Did you know? I'm actually the type to only study the day before a test, but ever since you've asked me to teach you, I study the subjects a day earlier the class is given, and review when I'm home."

"Ah. Sorry about that." – She laughed awkwardly.

"No, no! I meant to say I'm thankful. You've changed me for the better."

Doyum was right. My life is a teen movie.

"Anyway, I want to sa– Ow." – The wheel stopped abruptly.

Mia laughed after looking up and seeing her two best friends on the top of the Ferris Wheel, a chaotic atmosphere seemed to be filling their cabin.

"Woah, the view is actually pretty nice?" – Mia got up to look outside, appreciating the blue sky and the people smiling on the ground.

"Hey, Mia."

"Hm?" – She turned her head back.

"Do you want to go out with me?"

Without hesitation, she nodded avidly. "Hm!"

"Wait, really!? Are you sure?"

She went to him while laughing. "Of course I'm sure, Jisung. Why would I say no?"

"Thank you, oh my God. I was literally shaking!" – Jisung showed his trembling hand, which Mia softly held onto hers.
