Today I made sure to pack everything i needed for today's trip. First i packed water and some munchies, a word book in case i don't feel like going on the ride, money, my homework to check my spelling before going to school, and i even packed a plastic bag in case i puke after going on one of those rides. I grabbed my mini book and checked out the things i got and i noticed there was something missing. the first aid kit don't need anyone getting hurt. After i took a deep sigh, looked at the ticket i wrapped the bag on my back and i came out of my room. 

In front of the main entrance waiting for me was Mr. jung and Ilhoon. Mr.jung was smiling like a little kid getting his christmas present while fixing his son's hair. "Good morning!" he said joyfully. "good morning" i said back and i noticed Ilhoon was ignoring both of us by playing with his phone and smacking gum. "Sungjae sunny boy you have a good day ahead of you!" mr.jung said once again fixing Ilhoon's hair. "yes sir um, are you sure you don't want to go?" i said aiming the ticket at him."OH! no no no i'm far too old for that" he said pushing the ticket back at me. "Don't say that sir you are young enough for a ride" I tried to convince him but he said "thank you for the compliment but i'm sure it's much more better going with my son" he said pushing me closer to Ilhoon. "perfect" he said before waving us off. The reason why i wasn't to happy to go was because i wanted to get away from Ilhoon. our night together was too embarrassing and awkward.

"I'll leave you to it then. son behave good and protect sungjae, hold his hand if you have to hahahaha" Mr.jung said making both of us uncomfortable. sometimes i think he's doing this on purpose. Once outside, as i expected it was silent and i thought it was going to be like this the whole trip but when i sat in the car Ilhoon kept having small talk with me. Asking questions like "What's your favorite color?" "What do you like to eat?" "What do you watch?" "what do you like to do?" When i answer them he stays silent then he gulps and ask the next question. He doesn't say anything about my answer nor does he create a conversation with it, almost like getting to know me better. Or maybe the answers i gave are so lame that no conversation can be created! He asked me what i like to do and i said homework of course he's gonna think i'm lame! Sometimes when we wait for the lights to go green i noticed he turns his head to look at me, and when i turn my head to look at him he quickly moves his head back and coughs. i also see that every time he says  something he stutters and his face is kinda red but i think it's the sun's rays making him hot. 

"We're here" he says and i open my eyes, looking out the window and see this huge amusement park right in front of me and i stare in amazement with my mouth open at this big and long ride. I don't know if i'm excited or feel like throwing up imagining myself in one of those.  "you gonna get out?"  he asks and i nod but i still don't move. "well?" he says again and i get out of the car stuttering. when he stepped out of his car he looked like a total different person, he turned back to himself again. He didn't wait for me to get my bag before he walked all the way to the center making me run in order to catch up. "Why'd you bring that bag with you anyway? this is an amusement park not school" he said kind of rudely. i didn't answer because i knew he would make fun of me calling me nerd and stuff. 

When i told him i needed to go to the bathroom he sucked his tongue and told me to hurry up, that he'd wait for me but when i came out he wasn't there. i waited for him to see if he'd gone to the bathroom himself. after 29 minutes later i turned around to see he was smiling and talking to a cute girl and he had a giant pink stuffed cat around his arm. I saw that he glanced at me for a second but continued to walk with the girl. She ran right past me and he followed her even brushing his arm against  mine. I knew that i probably shouldn't bother him. he'll get mad for ruining his date so i just sucked it in and walked alone. On the bright side i don't have to spend my day next to Ilhoon who would just be quiet. My feet carried me to an unknown spinning ride. i needed some kind of  inspiration in order to go on that ride. if only i had someone besides me, like minhyuk hyung or even mir but no one was with me so i didn't feel like getting on. there was a bench near this ride and i sat in it watching all the people passing by. Families, couples, and some school friends we're all together enjoying what they had here, there was not a single person alone like me. i looked at the spinning ride as it was making me dizzy, yeah i really don't want to go in this ride. i reached in my bag and brought the word book out and i started to play. People we're looking at me weird so i stopped. i think that i need to man up! i want to prove i can go on that ride without having someone hold my hand.  Slowly and stuttering i walked towards the ride and i waited in line like everyone else. The line got shorter and i started to worry i wanted to go back real bad but i couldn't. My heart beated in all different places and i was terribly scared, I felt sweat drips running down my forehead and palm and i wiped it away.
