eric's job allows him to work remotely everyday, provided he completes his tasks on time. with eric's wide knowledge in computer science, be it the theoretical or practical, allows him to maintain the astonishing reputation as the most talented employees his boss had ever hired.

if a task was given two weeks to complete, eric would be able to complete it in at most one and a half weeks, with the best quality his boss would expect as well. if the company's system was invaded by a virus, he would be able to flush the virus out before it could deal a considerable amount of damage or steal a great deal of the company processes.

his capabilities had earned him a senior role in the technical department within just a few months since he started, the company being too afraid to let him go.

with such impressive technology skills, he has proven to be indispensable in the crisis management team – all of them are, eitherways. whenever the team had to find records of a client or target, eric would be able to find their information in mere minutes through government records which he has proven time and time again to have flawed firewalls. he is also able to skillfully remove any cctv footage of their team remotely which could be evidence of them being in a crime of scene.

he was sitting beside his idol.

he was sitting beside his idol.

sometime during the ride, m/n came to the terms of that when jisung started moving to the beat of the song, their shoulders brushing each others', his cheeks lighting up into a bright shade of pink.

"calm down," m/n mentally scolded himself. "he's not just an idol now, he's a friend too... right?"

m/n soon started to sway to the song too, his shoulder brushing renjun's as well.

fifteen minutes later, after haechan parked the vehicle, m/n made a run to the counter to purchase tickets, telling the rest to take their time as he may have to queue.

just ten minutes later, all of them got into the amusement park.

chenle and haechan immediately ran to the roller coasters, the rest following them from behind, shouting at them to slow down, but it seemed to fall on deaf ears as the two laughed louder at every shout.

they quickly join the (extremely) excited two who were already making their way to the ride through the almost empty express queue with courtesy to m/n purchasing express passes for everyone.

jisung tagged along behind, his feet hesistant while he glanced around the shelter to the boarding zone of the ride, m/n soon taking notice of him zoning, as the roller coaster came to a stop and the riders departed from it. despite excitement clogging his vessels since he has never been on a roller coaster before, m/n still was concerned for the idol.

"is something wrong?" m/n whispered to jisung. "you're zoning out."

"i'm kinda scared. i don't really want to ride it." jisung timidly replied, feeling like a child for being afraid of roller coasters.

"we don't have to ride it if you don't want to. the two of us can explore the rest of the theme park if you want?" m/n suggested as the remaining members infront started to place their belongings in the provided cabinets before sitting in pairs.

"you two going on the ride?" the staff manning the entrance to the roller coaster asked, directing his gaze at the two. jisung glanced between him, the members already on the roller coaster, and m/n who was still awaiting his reply. looking at m/n, he nodded, bringing a smile onto his face.
