When I Close My Eyes • Kim Seokjin

jin smiled. he was on a ferris wheel, suspended at the top, where the spring sunshine fell down on him in warm waves. he turned his head, and jungkook smiled at him.

"are you enjoying the ride, hyung?" jungkook asked, smiling cutely.

jin nodded, smiling back and ruffling jungkook's hair. jungkook didn't shy away, just grinned and went with it. "i am, kookie. how about you?"

jungkook nodded, throwing his arms up into the air. "you can see everything from here! it's amazing!"

jin laughed softly. "you can. it's really pretty." he watched the crowd of faceless people wandering from attraction booths to cotton candy carts to the big carousel in the center of the theme park. "i want to ride on one of the ponies-"

jin blinked and found his hands gripping a golden pole that extended from the top of the carousel to the rotating wooden platform. his eyes followed the pole down to his horse, a unicorn with a gold horn to match the pole, its mane white and glittery. the unicorn winked at him.

jin looked to his right to see yoongi, his lips twisted into a sour frown as he sat atop his mount, a black Arabian stallion. "i can see that you're enjoying this wholeheartedly by your unbridled enthusiasm," jin quipped, windshield laughing at his own joke.

yoongi looked over at him for a second before he burst out laughing. "jin, you're just too funny. it's not fair. you always make me want to smile and laugh and be happy. it's just too much."

jin grinned. "okay, i'll try to rein it in."

yoongi cracked up yet again. "shut up, jin! people are looking at me funny."

"just because you're saddled with worldwide handsome."

yoongi's laughter echoed off the ceiling and into the fair until it was all jin could hear.
