As Yoongi and Jimin walked away from the thrilling ride, an undeniable awkwardness lingered between them. The memory of their close encounter on the ride still fresh in their minds, they hesitated in their conversation.

But as they continued through the carnival, Yoongi suddenly exclaimed, making Jimin flinch.

Following Yoongi's gaze, Jimin's eyes widened when they landed on the giant Ferris wheel that loomed in the distance.

Yoongi encouraged Jimin, saying, "Let's ride the Ferris wheel, Jimin."

Jimin hesitated, revealing his fear of heights, "I-i don't think I can Yoongi, I'm scared of them."

Yoongi reassured him with a warm smile, "Don't worry, Jimin. I'll be right there with you."

Jimin couldn't resist Yoongi's enthusiasm, and he reluctantly agreed to give it a try.

They both climbed into a Ferris wheel cabin, and Yoongi noticed the nervousness in Jimin's expression.

He took both of Jimin's hands in his own and squeezed them, offering comfort and reassurance.

As the Ferris wheel began its ascent, Jimin couldn't help but gasp loudly in surprise. His breaths grew heavy, and he shut his eyes tightly, gripping Yoongi's hands tightly.

Yoongi watched his struggle and felt a wave of regret for bringing him on the Ferris wheel.

He softly encouraged Jimin to open his eyes, but Jimin hesitated, admitting his fear "N-no I'm scared!"

Yoongi's voice was gentle as he repeated, "Open your eyes, Jiminie. It'll be okay."

Jimin slowly obeyed, opening his eyes to meet Yoongi's gaze. His eyes held a universe of comfort and reassurance as he gave Jimin one of his most soothing smiles.

Despite Yoongi's efforts, Jimin still felt uneasy, his breathing erratic. That's when Yoongi suggested,

"Look at me; just me, and focus on my voice."

Jimin hesitated but nodded, concentrating on Yoongi's soothing voice as he started to sing,

"Just take it all
I'm nothing without your love
I promise I'll never leave your love
My heart is beating 'cause of you..."

Yoongi continued to sing softly, his voice like a warm blanket in the chilly night air.

"Forever and ever and ever
Only you can take my heart..."

He held both of Jimin's hands, their fingers intertwined.

"And dear my love, love, love
I wanna stay...."

As Jimin focused on Yoongi's voice, his breathing slowly began to normalize. He found himself lost in Yoongi's eyes, drowning in their depths as he listened to the sweet melody of his voice.

"I wanna stay near you"

Their shared moment of connection was interrupted as the Ferris wheel came to an end, and the cabin descended to the ground.

Yoongi gently released Jimin's hands, as they both stepped out of the Ferris wheel, their hearts beating in rhythm.

Something had changed between them during that ride, something deeper than just normal attractions.

As they walked, Jimin suddenly felt a strange sensation in his stomach, but it wasn't due to Yoongi, it was because of the Ferris wheel.

He covered his mouth and hurriedly made his way to the nearest washroom.
