Unbreaking Me (A Short Narratives Collection Vol. 2)

Don't Forget (Part 3)

Jenna couldn't understand why her sister had brought her to an amusement park. It was a Sunday and she should've been in her bedroom, sleeping the day away. But Yoona insisted to go to that amusement park situated by the seaside up north.

"Why do you wanna go to the amusement park?"

"Because it's fun!" She chirped and Jenna gave her a look. Last time she checked, she was the fun one. It was unusual for Yoona to be asking her to go out, especially since she's such a busy bee all the time with her job's hectic schedule.

"Come on, Jen." She said. "I want to spend time with my sister."

Jenna could only sigh, hating how she used that "wanting to spend time with my sister" bit. She reluctantly agreed and the two of them spent the day together eating as much junk food they could get their hands on and ride as many rides as their stomachs could take.

It was later afternoon when Yoona suddenly asked, "Hey! Let's go on that!"

She pointed at the biggest Ferris wheel Jenna has ever seen. As she stared it, she couldn't help but feel like she should be remembering something. The more she thought, the more Jenna felt her head throbbing, making her wince.

"Hey..." She felt her sister's hand in her arm and when she looked up, she saw her face etched with concern. "Are you okay?"

Jenna nodded and Yoona smiled, pulling on her hand towards the ride's queue. As they waited for their turn, Jenna looked up at the ride towering over her and she couldn't help but feel amazed at how something this big could have been constructed. "It's huge!" She said in awe, appreciating the ride's structure. "How long till it makes a full cycle?"

"About half an hour." Yoona replied and Jenna's eyes widened. "Wae?!"

"What?" She shrugged. "We have time. Plus the view's amazing!"

"You've ridden this before?"

"No." She shrugged. "Have you?"

At that, an image flashed in Jenna's mind but it was too blurry, making it impossible to make out. She shook her head, taking a deep breath as she let the throbbing subside. She hated these burst of mental activity and she wondered when it would stop.

There were only a couple of people before they're turn came when Yoona said, "Oh shoot! I have to go pee."

"What?" Jenna said incredulously. "We're about to get in and you want to go pee?!"

"Yes." She said a matter of fact. "I'll be right back."

"Wait-" Jenna called but Yoona was already running out, leaving her place in the queue. She huffed as she watched her go, he form disappeared in the crowd. "Great. Am I riding this alone?" She muttered, just when a dinosaur mascot appeared by her side. She jumped when it poked her arm.

"What?" She snapped and the mascot raised his hands in surrender.

"Sorry, Barney." Jenna said, suddenly feeling guilty for snapping at the dinosaur. "My sister just ditched me."

The mascot did a 360-degree turn and before she knew it, it was pushing her towards the ride's entrance, her feet moving backwards as the mascot pushed her from the front. "Hey! What are you doing-"

She felt herself being half carried into one of the cars and once she was in, the mascot closed the door shut giving her a small wave. She glared at the mascot from behind the glass as she tried to get out. But to her dismay, the doors wouldn't budge. She thought of pushing the door down and she grunted as she took a step back to build momentum, but ended up bumping into something-

Or Someone. "Hey-"

Jenna yelped at the voice and turned around, only to be met by a beautiful face, wearing an annoyed expression.

The boy's face change into one of surprise when he realized who it was. "Jenna?!"

"Jungkook?!"

"What are you doing here?" They asked in unison.

"I was here first." He said.

"Well I was-" there was a sudden knock on the door and they looked out to find the mascot waving at them, his head removed revealing a familiar face with silver hair.

"Hyung?" Jungkook looked down at him in bewilderment. "What on earth is he doing in a dinosaur costume?!"

"Yah! Namjoon oppa!" Jenna yelled, as she banged on the car's window but Namjoon only smiled as he watched the car move up.

"You called him oppa..." Jungkook suddenly said, making Jenna turn. "I-"

Jungkook sighed as he tuned to face the other side of the car, which gave a view of the beach. "Forget I said anything."

Jenna pursed her lips as she took a seat, opposite him; her hands fidgeting with the hem of shirt. This was the last place she wanted to be.
