Miso POV
"Wah!!" I exclaimed, running through the entrance of the theme park.
I looked around at the various attractions ranging from roller coasters to snacks, excited to try all of them.
"Guys let's go ride the disco pang pang!" Aureum exclaimed, pointing at the ride.
"Sure! Let's go!" Jieun exclaimed as we all made our way towards the ride.
"Have you ridden this before?" Jake asked, running a hand through his hair.
"Nope. You?" I asked as he shook his head.
"Please enter!" A staff member exclaimed as he opened the gate.
I excitedly walked through the gate before finding a seat with the others.
"Okay, are you ready? Let's begin!" Announced the operator as the ride began moving.
"Are you guys all friends?" The operator asked as we nodded.
"Wow... a big group! Are the 4 of you couples?" He asked, directing the question to Hwayoung, Hajoon, Jake and I.
Jake and I nodded while Hajoon and Hwayoung shook their heads before mouthing "just friends".
"Haha, how old are you guys?" He asked as Aureum gestured the number "17".
"Ah I see, so the rest are single?" He asked as they all nodded.
"Then I'll find someone for you guys, please make some space." He laughed as we all made some space.
He went around talking to other people and eventually, the machine began moving faster, causing everyone to move all over the place.
"Hey! Hold your friend!" He shouted at Hajoon who quickly pulled Hwayoung closer to him.
"Are you okay?" I heard him ask as she nodded, running her hand through her hair.
"Can I hold you by your waist? I don't mean to be weird but it's tighter like that." He asked as Hwayoung quickly nodded.
"Just do whatever." She laughed as Hajoon adjusted his grip.
Upon hearing this, I quickly turned to look at Jake whose eyes were widened.
Just then, the machine suddenly jerked, causing me to fall out of my seat.
Jake quickly came to my rescue and took my hand, attempting to pull me up despite the machine still jerking.
"Hurry! Pull your girl up!" The moderator teased as he slowed the machine down, allowing Jake to pick me up.

"That was crazy..." Jieun huffed, fixing her hair.
"Yeah, I can't believe there was no one our age there... Lame." Aureum whined.
"Yeah! I thought I'd at least get a hot guy's number." Hanuel laughed as they all agreed.
"Guys it's having fun that's most important! We're here for eachother afterall." I smiled.
"Says you Ms lover girl." Hanuel laughed as I rolled my eyes.

Hwayoung POV
I hopped out of the shower and saw Hajoon sitting on the couch watching TV.
"Hey!" I smiled, taking a seat on the couch.
"Hey!" He smiled, adjusting his hair.
"What are you watching?" I asked, looking at the screen.
"When I fly Towards You. It's about high school love and it's pretty cute." He laughed as I nodded.
"Ah... That's nice. Anyways, what do you want for dinner? The couple went for a dinner date and the rest went to the beach." I asked as he paused the show.
"What about cold noodles? It's pretty warm out." He asked as I nodded.
"Sure! I'll go order it then." I smiled, quickly heading to my room to grab my phone.
I quickly ordered the food and it soon came, allowing Hajoon and I to sit down infront of the TV and enjoy our dinner.
"So she likes him and he doesn't know?" I asked as Hajoon nodded.
"Mhm. But she also doesnt know he likes her back." He explained as I gasped.
"Really?!?! That's interesting." I laughed, taking a bite of my food.
"Have you ever experienced this before?" I asked, curious.
"Mmm... no... I just liked this girl but she liked someone else at the time, but I got over her after." He smiled.
"That sucks." I sighed as he nodded.
"It does. What about you?" He asked, quickly directing the conversation to me.
"What?" I laughed.
"Have you liked anyone before?" Hajoon asked.
"Of course! I'm pretty sure you know him from middle school." I reminded, taking another bite of my food.
"Oh? Who?!" He asked, excited.
"Seohyun." I revealed as he let out a 'tsk'.
"That's so basic, everyone had a crush on him."He laughed, brushing the idea away.
"True... But I started liking someone else after." I continued.
"Oh who?" He asked as I shook my head.
"It's a secret." I laughed as he sighed.
"Why!!! Did I know him? Was he my friend? Was it a mutual friend? Was he ever real? Or was it a she?" He questioned as I shrugged.
"I'm not telling you!" I teased, getting up and clearing my trash.
"Why?!?!" He whined as I walked off.
Because it was you.

Miso POV
"We're back!" I exclaimed, taking my shoes off as Jake followed.
"Hey!" Hwayoung exclaimed as Hajoon waved.
"What are y'all doing?" Jake asked as he placed his shoe on the shoe rack
"We're watching a show." Hwayoung smiled as I peeked over at the screen.
"Oh! Jake and I are watching this now." I exclaimed as Hwayoung turned to look at me.
"Really? What episode?" Hwayoung asked as I shrugged.
"13" Jake informed as he made his way to the room.
I watched as the door shut behind him before turning to look back at Hwayoung.
"Did you guys fight?" Hwayoung asked.
"No! Not at all! He's just been on edge today, I'll go talk to him when he's cooled down a little." I sighed as Hajoon nodded.
"I'll give you guys some space tonight then." He smiled as I nodded.
"Thanks!" I replied before placing some of the leftovers in the fridge.
I walked towards the room but stopped before I entered.
"I didn't do anything wrong right?" I muttered under my breath.
Just then, the door swung open to reveal Jake with a towel hung on his shoulder as well as some clothes.
"Oh, sorry I must've scared you. I'll go take a shower okay? You can take the one in our room." He smiled, placing a kiss on my forehead.
"Thanks. Go ahead." I smiled awkwardly as he walked past me and into the bathroom.
<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

I nervously hopped out of the bathroom to see Jake laying on the bed scrolling on his phone.
I silently stood at the door of the bathroom, struggling to muster up the courage to talk to him.
"Just do it." I mumbled, hyping myself up.
Okay Miso, let's do this.
"Hey love?" I started as he turned to look at me.
"Mmh?" He let out, placing his phone down beside him.
"Are you mad at me?" I asked as he looked at me, taken aback.
"Why would I be?" He laughed as I walked towards him, sitting on the side of Hajoon's bed, allowing me to face him.
"I dunno, it's just that during dinner you were so agitated and you were on edge the whole day and I'm just worried for you..." I let out as he sighed.
"Mmm well you know how we're flying off in 2 days right?" He asked as I nodded.
"I'm just nervous and all..." He smiled.
"... Is it because of what happened at the airport?" I asked as he nodded hesitantly.
I sighed as I nodded, unsure of what to say.
I paused for a while, awkward silence filling the room before I decided to start speaking.
"It's gonna be okay, I promise. We'll all be okay." I smiled as he nodded.
"We're just gonna walk through them, okay? I'm sure we can do it." I reassured as he nodded once more.
"Don't worry okay? We'll face it when it comes." I sighed as he smiled, reaching out for a hug.
"Whenever there's anything on your mind don't be afraid to tell me okay?" I nagged as I reached out for him to pull me close.
He nodded as he pulled at my hand, pulling me into a hug.

Hwayoung POV
"All the bags checked in?" I asked as the rest nodded.
"I wanna ride a trolly!" Miso exclaimed before Jake began stacking the carry ons to allow her to sit.
I laughed at the duo as Jake began pushing her around as she pointed to wherever she wanted to go.
"Ooh! Let's go to the duty free store!!" Miso exclaimed.
"I wanna go too!" Haneul exclaimed.
"Us too!" Jieun shouted as she dragged Aureum along.
"Hajoon, Hwayoung, wanna come?" Miso asked, ushering us over.
"I'll come when I'm done with the bags." I smiled, stacking a bag onto the trolly.
"I'll stay with. Go ahead first." Hajoon informed as Miso made a thumbs up sign before making their way to the duty free store.
I watched as Hajoon made his way forward to stack the last of the bags as I collected our passports.
"Ready to go?" Hajoon asked as I turned around.
I smiled and nodded before he began pushing the trolly.
I followed closely beside him, eyeing the bags on the trolly.
"Why? You wanna sit too?" He asked as I looked up.
"Well... uhm..." I fumbled, touching the back of my neck as my ears turned red.
"I'll take that as a yes." He laughed before rearranging the bags.
"Hop on!" He smiled, gesturing to the trolly.
"Are you sure..." I hesitated as he nodded.
"Come on, just sit." He ushered as I smiled before quickly hopping on.
"Okay let's go!" He exclaimed before her began pushing the trolly.
