While the others wanted to freak me out with roller coasters, Viking boats and Drop towers were my thing and I always say I'm afraid of heights, I guess not. Daehwi screamed so much in the drop tower that I thought I was going deaf for real this time. The others didn't enjoy the drop tower and Viking boat, except Jinyoung and Sejeong, so they decided to take revenge.

Haunted house. We went in pairs except for Somi, Sejeong and Yoojung. Daehwi and Jinyoung had to stick together because we knew if Daehwi was paired up with anyone else, they would run away before he can even come back to his senses.

That left Woojin and me as the last group. For most of the time, I did scream but at least it wasn't as bad as Daehwi. We ran the last part and exited to see Jinyoung smirking at Woojin, "Ha, I heard you screaming!"

"I screamed only because she startled me," he scoffed which made me laugh hard and loud. Before I could even throw something back at him, Jinyoung did it first, "But I counted, Hyerin screamed 3 times, you screamed 5 times."

"No," I shook my head, giggling even though I almost died in there, "He screamed 6 times." Woojin glared at me and flicked my forehead, "How would you know that?"

"I count screams to get my mind off of the scary parts of the haunted house," I smiled, still trying to contain some laughter. I hear Daehwi whisper something like, "I should definitely try that some time. No, wait. I don't want to go back in there." Something on the lines of that.

Right after we went for the merry go round Yoojung had bothered us about, telling us that she always went on that thing whenever she went to Lotte World. So we did, and you don't know how many photos I took on that ride. Aesthetics man.

Shopping came right after since we wanted to buy some things to remember going there together. There was a small store in the corner that made clothing so I ended up designing some sweaters for the boys and the rest of us as support for their dance competition on Monday. The name Imagine was written on top of a cloud in Walt Disney font on the front of the dark blue hoodie.

Right away we all put it on and headed for the ferris wheel, Somi's favorite. Before the others could race to the first cart, Woojin pulled me in with him and closed the door on the others. I laughed lightly as the others complain from the outside.

We sat down facing each other as the thing started moving. Honestly, the ferris wheel was always a drag for me but it was great to just sit there in silence for awhile. I glanced at Woojin who was looking straight right at me, startling me, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Why can't I?" he laughed, "You're the only one I can look at right now." Immediately, I felt my face grow warm but luckily, it wasn't a very well lit cart so he probably didn't see it. For the next half of the ride, we sat there in silence, exchanging small glances and smiles once in awhile.

"Thank you," he whispered all of a sudden. I looked at him, confused with what he had just said, "What for? Last time I remember, I didn't do anything for you." He laughed as he moved his face forward, now I couldn't help but stare right into his entrancing eyes, "For your effort in trying to help me not stress out too much."

I giggled lightly and before I could stop myself, I whispered back to him, "Well if you're my lifeline, why can't I be yours?"

As soon as the bell rang, I pulled Sejeong out of her class and we ran to the school auditorium to line up. Even with reserved seats, we had to go in by line order. Sejeong went in and sat down to do her homework first while I went backstage secretly to help the boys out.

They were wearing the sweaters from the previous day for their first performance. I helped them fix their hair a bit and gave them moral support. I felt a light tap on my shoulder and turned around to see a tired Woojin gesturing me over to a corner.

"What is it?" I smiled at him as he brightened up a little. He patted my head lightly and traced the fabric over my shoulder, "I forgot some of the choreo."

I laughed lightly as he showed me where he remembered to, and so I showed him what went next for his part and then he remembered the rest right away, "Woojin, stop being so nervous." He blushed, slightly embarrassed that he looked pretty bad right now, "Sorry, I should man up right?"

I smiled as I fixed his hair for him, "You'll do well either way, I believe in you." One of the staff shout that all guest should be back to their seats and escorted me out after I gave them a last small cheer. I sat down with the girls and watched as the show started.

All of the dancers had much passion in their work and it was obvious they were very good at what they were doing. Somi cheered for every handsome guy that came up while Yoojung was calmly clapping. Sejeong, on the other hand, did her homework until the boys came up.

"Next up!" the announcer shouted, "Imagine!" They came up and introduced themselves cheerfully as I hear a few girls scream, making me laugh at their reactions. The announcer pointed at the members, "Do any of you guys have a shoutout?"

"Of course," Daehwi smiled, "Shoutout to those group of girls in the front!" We all "woo!" at the shoutout he gave us but it wasn't over, at least for me. Jinyoung, who was standing the farthest from the announcer, stuck his hand up and the announcer passed him the mic, "And shoutout to Hyerin who was really helpful in bringing us this stage we are going to show you guys!"

I blushed at the shoutout he gave and it made me really love my friends even more, I don't know what I would do without these guys now. Sejong poked my cheek, laughing, "Wow, maybe I should've helped then I would be called out."

"Hey," I pouted, "Wouldn't your boyfriend get super mad after that?" She just shrugged and then the performance was going to start. I clasped my hand together and made a silent prayer for a good stage.

Somi screamed like crazy as they danced, it was almost 2x the volume she screamed for the other dancers. Even Sejeong was cheering although she wasn't really the type to. I cheered once in awhile but for most of the time, I was focused on something else.

That something else was Woojin, who was staring at me the whole time.
