ESPRESSO | SANHAK [Hiatus]

8: The Amusement Park

As soon as they reached the amusement park, Dongmin and Woonhak called Jaehyun and Donghyun, who eventually made their way towards Jaehyun's car. Jaehyun's eyes widened in exasperation when he saw them standing there with shopping bags.

"What are the both of you doing here?" he asked, his voice tinged with frustration. "Don't tell me you came to annoy us."

Dongmin's eyes sparkled with mischief as he replied, "We just came to tag along. Thought you two could use some company."

Jaehyun crossed his arms and shook his head. "Go home, Dongmin."

Dongmin whined, "I felt lonely."

Woonhak chimed in with a teasing tone, "Yah, are you insulting me and my company?"

Ignoring Woonhak, Dongmin continued, "Without my best friend, I can't even live for five minutes."

Jaehyun sighed deeply, relenting, "Fine. But you can't follow us everywhere."

Dongmin grinned, then joked, "Why can't I follow my parents?"

Jaehyun bit his lip, gesturing as if to slap Dongmin. In response, Dongmin quickly hid behind Woonhak and whispered something in his ear. Woonhak smirked and played along, putting his arm around Dongmin protectively.

"Oh, come on, Jaehyun Hyung. Don't be so harsh on our poor Dongmin Hyung," Woonhak teased. "He just wants to spend some quality time with his best friend."

Jaehyun rolled his eyes but couldn't suppress a laugh. Donghyun, standing next to him, also cracked a grin. "Fine, you two can stay. But seriously, don't follow us everywhere."

Dongmin peeked out from behind Woonhak, his eyes gleaming with mock innocence. "Of course not! We'll just be... nearby."

The four of them walked through the entrance of the amusement park together. Jaehyun and Donghyun led the way, while Dongmin and Woonhak trailed behind, exchanging whispers and laughs.

As they passed by various attractions, Dongmin couldn't resist poking fun. "Hey, Jaehyun Hyung, did you know this ride is called 'The Parent Trap'?"

Jaehyun turned around with a smirk, "Very funny, Dongmin."

Donghyun looked over at Jaehyun with a smile. "Maybe having them around won't be so bad."

Jaehyun sighed but nodded. "Yeah, I guess so."

As they wandered through the amusement park, Dongmin spotted Jaehyun and Donghyun getting in line for the couple boat ride. Jaehyun looked a bit more relaxed now, while Donghyun seemed to be enjoying himself, a small smile playing on his lips.

Dongmin's eyes lit up with mischief. "Look at them. We can't miss this opportunity."

Woonhak raised an eyebrow. "What are you planning now?"

Dongmin grinned, grabbing Woonhak's wrist and pulling him towards the line for the boats. "We're going to follow them and get some incriminating photos. It'll be fun!"

Woonhak sighed but followed along, unable to resist Dongmin's infectious enthusiasm. They managed to board the boat right after Jaehyun and Donghyun's, carefully positioning themselves to capture the perfect shots without being noticed.

As their boat gently glided along the water, Dongmin and Woonhak crouched low, using the boat's edge to conceal themselves. Dongmin's phone was out, ready to snap some pictures. The serene setting of the ride, with its calm water and romantic ambiance, made it the perfect backdrop.

Jaehyun and Donghyun seemed unaware of their presence, lost in their own world as they enjoyed the peaceful ride. Dongmin's phone clicked softly as he took a few pictures, capturing Jaehyun's relaxed smile and Donghyun's content expression.
