Do You Mind? ➢ 2jae

Coasters and cotton candy

"Round and round like a horse on a carousel, we go,
Will I catch up to love? I could never tell, I know,
Chasing after you is like a fairytale, but I,
Feel like I'm glued on tight to this carousel"

Carousel - Melanie Martinez

"Where are we going?" Youngjae had been whining and asking Jaebum where they were going for their date. Jaebum had told him to dress casually and Youngjae obeyed; he wore a red and blue flannel with black jeans and a matching black jacket.

"It's a surprise." Said Jaebum and unlocked his car. "Stop asking." He said sternly, but Youngjae didn't listen to him.

"Please. Jaebum? Jaebum hyung? Pleaseeee!"

Jaebum ignored him.
He opened the car door for Youngjae, smiling at him.

"What a gentleman Jaebum."

"I know, I try."

The car ride there was the same as the walk to the car. Youngjae asked where they were going but Jaebum pretended to not hear him.
When they arrived, Youngjae's face lit up and a broad smile crept onto his lips.

"The amusememt park," he said with an excited tone, "okay but first rule; I am not going on any high rides, okay?"

Youngjae took out his hand, gesturing to Jaebum to shake his hand as a promise to not go on any scary rides.
Jaebum smiled at him and took his hand.

"I solemnly swear not to take you on any high rides." Jaebum said as he shook Youngjae's hand.

"Thank you."

Jaebum loved theme parks. He hasn't been on many but still he adored them. He loved the sick feeling you get in your gut when a big drop is about to happen. He loved the wind in your face and the tears in your eyes you get when you're at the front of a roller coaster.
And he loved the scary house.

"Have I told you that I love theme parks?" Said Youngjae when they entered the park. "Because I do."
He was looking happily around him, at the different rides, the families eating cotton candy, the games. Jaebum wore the same expression.

"Me too," said Jaebum as he glanced at the younger, "that's why we're here."

Youngjae looked eagerly around him, after spotting a specific ride, he took a hold of Jaebum's wrist and dragged him to the line's direction.

"The teacup's are my favourite, I think," said Youngjae as they were waiting in line, "what's yours?"

"I don't know actually," Jaebum said, looking questioningly, "I like all of the roller coasters, that much I know."

Youngjae hummed in response.

The gate to the attraction finally opened and Jaebum and Youngjae chose their teacup.

"I'm gonna spin this teacup into the next dimension." Said Youngjae as the man managing the ride started talking.

"Are you ready?"
"One hundred percent."

They starting spinning the weel in the attraction's center. Although Youngjae was spinning it way harder than Jaebum.
They spun faster and faster, possibly faster than all of the others, Jaebum felt so sick he had to lay down in the giant teacup.
Youngjae was still spinning. He didn't seem to have the ability to feel sick. He just laughed at Jaebum who was groaning loudly and begging it to stop.
Eventually it did stop and Jaebum waddled of as if he was drunk. Youngjae, although, didn't even think twice about standing in line to another ride.
