"Hey, let me go! Where are you taking me?" I struggled to keep up with his fast speed as he walked. He suddenly stopped and turned around to face me. 

"Lets have some fun." Josh gave me a mischievous smile. "Lets go to a amusement park. It's my treat." He gave me the warmest smile so far. 

"What! Amusement park!? Isn't it a place where couples and families normally go. Also isn't it a bit too late?"

"Come on. You really need to relax from time to time. It will be fun trust me. Lets go." He said dragging me onto a bus. How does he even know the way or the directions. What is he playing at? This guy. 

"You really are a insane playboy pervert!" 

"Is that so princess? Just trust me."

"How am I meant to trust you if you just kidnapped me for no reason. I'd really prefer to go home and study rather than be here with you."

"Aw come, it is going to be fun trust me. You'll might even be able to clear your mind."

"What a jerk!"

"I love you too princess." He laughed. 

"Whatever." I reached to my bag to take out a text book. When suddenly it was snatched out of my hands. 

"No studying until tomorrow." He smiled. 

Well there was still at least 40 more minutes ride. Unconsciously my eyes started to shut. 


~Joshua's P.O.V~

Suddenly, Jaehyo's head started to fall towards my shoulder. What, is she asleep? "Jaehyo, you asleep? What are you doing?" She didn't reply or move. "Aish, you're really hopeless aren't you? You really are something else." I smiled slightly to myself as I observed her features more closely. She really must have been so exhausted after today. 

After the encounter with Sowoo and her gang. I'm perfectly aware she's being bullied because of me, but why can't I just leaving her alone. I also don't want her to know that my Korean is at a decant level. What should I do. Somehow, I really don't want to keep lying to her.

Why did I have to fall for you? Couldn't it have been a different girl. All of my thoughts were filled with her and how much she must have suffered because of me so far. 


About 30 minutes later we were close to our destination. I lightly tapped her cheek to wake her up. "Come on sleeping beauty. It's time to wake up."


~Jaehyo's P.O.V~

"Come on sleeping beauty. It's time to wake up." I heard a soft voice as I also felt a light tapping on right cheek. "Jaehyo." 

I blinked my eyes sleepily. I just then noticed I was leaning my head on someone's shoulder. More like a guy's shoulder. I quickly got up and moved two seats away from him. We were on the bus, and the guy I was leaning my head against was no other than the playboy pervert. I froze. Didn't know whether I should run out of the bus or apologize. In stead I just put my head down in embarrassment feeling my face go warm.

"Did you have a nice sleep? Sorry to wake you but were almost here." I could feel him smirk a little. We were going to the amusement park. However, we'll only be able to go on two rides at the most. 


We got off the bus and walked a bit to the entrance. Just like promised Joshua payed and we walked in. Due to the hour there wasn't that much people. Currently, it was five o'clock  so some people already left and since it was a mid week there wasn't too many people to begin with. 

Joshua turned towards me. "So do you like extreme or slow rides?"

"Anything's fine. I don't mind. You choose." I replied sounding bored. I just really want to go home. 

"Are you sure. It's your last chance." He waited a moment after I didn't reply. "Okay, follow me then." He took my wrist as he went to the line of the people waiting to ride the roller coaster.  The line wasn't too long. I think we'll be able to go on the third queue. 

I wasn't wrong. However, Joshua chose the sits at the very front of the roller coaster. Once the gates opened we got on. "Scared?" He asked. Clearly enjoying himself. 

"No, are you?"

"You wish" He laughed. Then the roller coaster started. There was no turning back. 


The last time I was at a amusement park was when I was six and this was still when dad lived with me and mom. So being here sort of brought quite a lot of memories, good memories. Right now I was sitting on a bench waiting for Joshua. After all non of us had dinner yet so he went to get us something to eat. 

Not long after he returned with two burgers. He sat next to me and handed me one. Wait! This guy can't even say 'Hello' properly. So how did he manage to order the burgers? Maybe gestures, or he was lucky enough that the employee actually knew English. I feel like I shouldn't ask. 

"Eat up. There's one more ride I want to go on."

"Um. Okay." What is this guy planing. He sure is acting weird. "What ride do you want to go on then?" I asked.

"It's a secret. For now eat up." 

"Wait, my mom is probably worried of why I'm so late I should call her."

"When you were sleeping your mom texted. I hope you're not too mad that I replied instead of waking you up."

"What don't touch people's properties without their consent! By the way she doesn't speak English for your information." Angrily I reached for my phone to check the messages. There was a reply, in Korean. Also the grammar and spelling was correct. That made me confused. "I thought you didn't know Korean."

"Well I used the google translator; it comes in pretty handy now and then." He gave me a smile. "Now that you're done lets go on the next ride."

Not giving me time to reply or think he grabbed my arm and dragged me to a queue to the  Ferris Wheel. There were three couples before us. "What?! Ferris Wheel? Only couples go on this!"

"But I've never been. Plus I want to see the view. It's probably beautiful." He said enthusiastically.

"Then you can go alone. If we go together people would think we're on a date which we're clearly not."

"But if I was to go alone it'd be boring. Come on, just this once." He made a pouting face. How could I say 'no' to that.

"Alright but this is the last ride and were going home."


"Wow, you were right. The view from up here is very nice." I said, amazed to see all the lights in a semi dark atmosphere. It indeed was beautiful. 

Fortunately, Joshua kept his promise that this would be our last ride. We went to the bus stop and waited for our bus to show up. Once it arrived I sat a row before Joshua to avoid the situation from before. Why would he take me to a place like this. In all honesty, I did have a good time and was able to rest my mind a little, but I don't get why here of all places.
