priorities | go eunhyeok

[ 20 ]

When we decided that we were going to take a break from rides for a bit, we stumbled upon a souvenir shop and now here we were, inside the store looking at the amusement park's merchandise. The first thing I did was drag Eunhyeok over to the plushies though it looked like he was willing to come with me anyways so dragging him over seemed pointless.

After taking some pictures of him holding some of the plushies I got bored and discovered the headbands. Eunhyeok followed me and listened to me comment on some of the cute ones. He picked up a fluffy, brown bear themed one and walked over to me.

He raised his arms over my head and slid the headband over my head. He rested his arms on my shoulder before spinning me around to face a mirror.

I studied my appearance. Hair slightly disheveled, from the previous roller coaster and the headband. I still clutched the red scarf under my arm. I was probably going to put it on when we went outside, it's getting colder.

"It looks pretty on you," he says. I watch him quietly in the reflection of the mirror. He's looking down at the headband that he placed on my head, a small smile on his face. When realizing his arms were still on my shoulders I looked away and clutched the red scarf tighter.

The small trance I was put into by his words and actions is cut short when I hear the voice of Ajin nearby. We both turned around to see what was happening and his arms fell back to his sides.

"Huh? Yeseo!"

Yeseo runs over to Ajin and Minji, ranting about how she should just quit the student council and join all of us.

I look back to the headbands and notice Minu and Ra-im not far from Eunhyeok and I. Ugh, of course. Because Yeseo is back, Minu is too. Eunhyeok turns as well and we watch the two interact with each other.

Minu places a rabbit ear headband on Ra-im and she produces a high pitched giggle. Minu picks up a bunch of cute headbands and shows them to Ra-im. She tucks her hair behind her ear, trying on all of them.

Su-ae comes out of nowhere, holding a headband with a big red bow on it and tries it on in front of Minu.

"What do you think? Does it suit me?" She asks, trying desperately to catch his attention.

"Yeah. It's fine," Minu replies back, uninterested and immediately turns back towards Ra-im.

She goes to find another one but Minu picks up a frog headband and puts it on her.

"This is totally for you, Su-ae," he says, laughing. "Bulgy frog eyes. Man, it really suits you. Hahaha!"

"Shut up Minu. If anything-" I begin.

"It's okay Y/N, really," Su-ae says, but her reassuring tone wavers and she walks away, clearly not wanting to be followed.

I watch her leave and walk back over to Eunhyeok. He pats my back lightly as I sigh. When will she finally end everything with Minu?

-: ✧ :-

We leave the souvenir shop soon after to find a place to eat. We wander around and I notice that Su-ae is lurking far behind all of us, so wait for her to catch up.

"Hey, are you feeling okay?" I ask her, nudging her side lightly.

"Yeah..." she breathes out, sighing. Her neck is slouched, forcing her eyes to look at the ground.

I get the memo that she's in a bad mood, so I lay off her.

"If you want to talk about it, I'm here," I assure her and we begin to walk again. She gives me a smile and I smile back, putting my arm around her and dragging her along.
