Chapter 38

Anton's Pov

I was casually talking to my friends, heading towards the roller coaster along with them until I saw her. She was upset about something. It showed through her. And before I knew it, there she was, breaking into tears, her friends nowhere near.
"Uhm hey guys, go without me. I have some urgent business to attend." I patted Taesan's shoulder as I suddenly left, leaving all of them confused, once again.
"He really needs to stop doing that..." Yushi said, but I was too far away to hear any of it.

I got closer to her, and heard something that hurt me for her.
"Yes! I'm weak! What about it?" She cried, startling me. I didn't witness he crying for a long time now, and it pained me to see her like that.
"Don't ever say that. You aren't anything close to weak." I replied after sitting down beside her, wrapping her in a hug as that was the only move of comfort I could think of at that moment.

She looked up at me, tears in her eyes as she tried to speak.
"Anton I.."
"You think too low of yourself."
"Why does this...always happen to me?" She cried.

"What..what happened? That is if you don't mind..."
"Miho..."
I knew she was one of her closest friends, which made me more concerned. Did something happen to her?
She then wiped away her tears and spoke once more, "She said she hates being near me...where I thought she was one of the closest, most reliable people in my life...I guess I was wrong..."

"I'm sorry that happened to you.."
"Shut up, I don't feel like talking..."
"Oh... ok.. I guess I should go now?"
"Hey wait..." she started as I was about to get up, "

"Could you....not leave? Or will your friends misunderstand that..?" She said, her voice shaky.
"Oh...I could do that. And don't worry about my friends, they're chill about it." I smiled and took out my phone to text one of the guys and let them know I'd be elsewhere for a while.

"Uhm....so do you wanna do anything now..? The teachers are practically hunting the kids who aren't lined up for the rides yet..and I'm pretty sure we'll get into some good trouble if they spot us..."
"Oh yea.." she said sniffling, "I guess we should go for the roller coaster, that's where the rest of my friends are..." She finished. I wanted to disagree, cause I was deadly afraid of the roller coaster. I hated those things. Just like she had screamed a while ago saying she was weak, this time I wanted to scream saying, 'I'm a coward!'
"Ok then... I'll accompany you. I'll go to mine once you reunite with your friends."
"Thanks." She smiled. It made me happy. Whenever she smiled, because of me, it made my heart go warm. It made me satisfied with myself.

We went forward and before I knew it, we were deep into the queue for getting onto the ride. My stomach began to churn. I wanted to run out but I wasn't gonna leave her alone, that'd be rude. So I stayed. But boy oh boy would I be regretting that soon enough.

Once we settled in and the bar was lowered, I prayed to God so that I didn't pass out the second it started. But even if I didn't pass out I was damn sure that I was sooo about to throw up the second I got off.

The ride started, my hand clenched my stomach as I looked at her to catch a glance of what she was doing.
She looked excited for the ride to start. Her obsidian black hair falling infront of her eyes with her pushing them away multiple times in a row. That made me feel better, but it went back to normal as soon as I turned my eyes back to my front, and it went on for the rest of the ride.

It finally stopped. Choyeon was laughing beside me, her hair messed up. I wonder how shit my hair was, but that wasn't my first priority. I quickly got off , excused myself and made my way to the closet washroom as she, unnoticed by me, followed behind.

"You should've said you didn't want to ride the roller coaster." She smirked, leaning on the doorframe.
"I did..." I had my hands on my knees, catching my breath. "You got water?"
She threw me a bottle from her purse, which seemingly worked like Doraemon's pouch.
"You say you wanted to, but I'm pretty sure you're regretting it now."
"I'm not..."
"You can't lie about the fact that you almost died back there."
"I did but I still don't regret going on there. I wouldn't leave you alone you know."

She went silent. She looked like she wanted to say something but held back. She gave me a lip pursed smile and muttered a "thank you ."

"Ooh there's a viewing tower over there, can we go? If you aren't scared of course."
"I can put up with heights, but weren't you scared of that?" I questioned in remembrance.
"Uh... I'll be fine unless I look down.." she said still looking as nervous as ever.

"Ok then, let's get going."
