It was almost 8 p.m before we decided to ride the last attraction, The Carousel. It had been my dream since I was a kid to ride on the white horse with a crown on its chest, but that I was outrunned by the other kids. However, since there was nobody here today, I claimed my spot directly.

"Why do you choose that one?", Suho asked in curiosity. We had made up, for real, and I didn't want to be awkward around him anymore.

"Well, when I was a kid, I heard that if you rode on this horse specifically, and when the ride started and you whispered your wish three times as you go around, that wish will come true.", I was so excited at how it might feel. Maybe it was just a myth, just a story they created to boost the marketing, but my child side wanted to test out the truth.

"What are you going to wish, then?", Suho smiled as he looked at how childlike I was. I tucked my hair behind my ear because I was quite shy.

"If I tell you, then my wish won't come true.", I bit my lower lip and I blew raspberries at him.

The ride was about to start, and Baekhyun started taking selcas with all the members. He was also very enjoying the ride, cheering along like a kid. Chanyeol and Kai also put both of their hands up and swayed along to the festive music. I started closing my eyes and I muttered my wish.

Three times.

My lips curved to form a satisfied smile. If it did come true, I would be totally grateful and I hope it'll bring happiness to all sides.

"Soojin-ah, look here!", Suho said as he raised his phone to take a selca. I made a 'V' sign and smiled widely. He did the same thing as well.

"Wow, it turned out nice.", he said to me cheerfully. His personality was so different than a few hours ago. I was glad things were clarified.

I wanted to take a picture with Kyungsoo as well, so I turned my back to find him and he was right behind me. His facial expression weren't as good as before, as if he was sulking.

"Kyungsoo oppa! Let's take a selca!", I yelled a little because the music was a little loud. He looked up at me in disbelief.

"What did you call me just now?", his face lighted up a little. I ignored his question and quickly took out my phone. I pushed the Camera icon and place it so the frame fitted both of our faces.

"Hana, dul, set.", I said as I clicked on the shutter button. The result was great. He was grinning, which was a rare view.

The ride ended and I could hear groans from Baekhyun.

"Ahh why does it have to end so quickly?", he stomped his feet around. I wanted to say that too.

The whole day ended so quickly. I wanted to repeat today over and over again. I wanted to play, eat, laugh and talk to them all day. After a long time, I was finally enjoying myself and enjoying life because I met these guys. They were the beacon that shone in my gloomy life.

After waiting a few minutes, the manager fetched us on the drop-off point and we all got into the van. This time I was seated with Suho and Sehun in the back seat.

"Ya why did you call Kyungsoo 'oppa'?", he whispered at me. His face looked unhappy and I decided to tease him about it.

"What? He is my oppa, though. He IS 5 years older than me.", I stuck out my tongue at him.

"Why...why the sudden honorifics then? You used to call us all by our names.", he pouted.

"I feel like if I'd called you 'oppa' once, I should call the members that too.", I shrugged. He was silent for a little while but he leaned his head on my shoulder.
