25 | What's Mine is Not Yours

"Since the beginning, my heart has been beating because of you."

•••

Today, Jungkook was taking me out. I suppose it was considered a date now. It felt different, in a good way. We've hung out many times before but this time, we were actually going out as a couple. He held my hand, his fingers intertwined with mine as we walked throughout the crowded paths of an amusement park. Going to an amusement park for a date was pretty cliché but Jungkook seemed more than excited as his eyes darted from ride to ride. If he was happy, I was too.

"Do you like roller coasters?"

I looked to him with an unsure expression and shrugged.

"They're not exactly my thing. My stomach doesn't handle them too well."

"That sucks." He pouted. "I thought we could go on one together but I guess we can stick to the kiddie rides instead." He teased.

"Hey, just because I don't like roller coasters doesn't mean I don't like any other adult rides."

"Okay, so what rides do you like?"

I pulled my hand away from his and opened up the map I had been carrying in my other hand, holding it by the edges. I scanned the piece of paper, looking at every little picture which represented a ride. Deathly drop. No. Haunted ferry. I'd probably shit my pants. Mirror maze. Yeah, no. Carousel. I smirked.

"I like the carousel."

"You're kidding right?"

I shook my head. "You asked what rides I like. I answered."

His mouth opened slightly as he shifted his jaw to the side. He looked as if he were really debating on whether I was serious or not.

"Okay, I guess we'll go to the carousel then."

"You'll come on it with me too?"

"Sure."

"When I mean come on it with me, I mean you have to sit on one of the animals."

He sighed and gave me a surrendered smile.

"Alright, I'll even sit on one of the animals."

"Yay!" I grabbed his hand again, tugging him towards where the carousel was.

Soon enough, we reached the small attraction and I did a small jog over to where the line was. Jungkook followed right behind and leaned closer to my ear.

"There's literally only kids in this line."

I turned my head back and puckered my lips at him. "So?"

"Just because I don't like roller coasters doesn't mean I don't like any other adult rides." He said in a high pitch voice, trying to mimic me.

"Okay first of all, I don't talk like that." I crossed my arms. "Second of all, you can never be too old to ride the carousel."
