Hi... for those who can see a chapter before this called "review: Chapter 14" please ignore that. I'm clumsy. 😂

——————————————————————

A CARNIVAL.

I've never been to a carnival before. However, my father has. That's only because he planned it for publicity. I've always wanted to go, but surely you know by now. Like my parents would let me...

Jungkook led me inside, paying for my ticket and his.

There were many rides and games here. There was food, and a lot of people.

"Jungkook why did you bring me here?" I ask.
He smiles at me. "You said you never had time to have friends or have fun. You must have fun now. At least with me." He says. I have to have fun now, before I die. Something we both know will happen soon. I nod and he drags me over to the Ferris wheel line.

I've never experienced really high places. I'm not sure how I'll react on this one.

It's not good.

We're too high up. Jungkook's having the time of his life however. He smiling and laughing while I'm covering my eyes to keep from looking down. Our cart stops at the highest point in the Ferris wheel.

Oh that's just great.

I'm still covering my eyes when jungkook taps my shoulder. "Ms. So? Are you alright?" Why the frick does he call me Ms. So?
"I'm.. okay." I say, obviously lying to him.
"Are you lying?" He asks. I don't answer his question. Instead. Jungkook takes my hands and takes it out of my eyes.
"Open your eyes Yeon Hwa." He says. For some reason. I trust him. I open my eyes, and instead of seeing how far up we are, I see Jungkook. He's smiling at me.
"Are you afraid of heights Yeon Hwa?" He asks.
"I-I don't know. Its my first time on a Ferris wheel." I say. He thinks to himself.
"How about planes. Haven't you traveled?" He asks. I shake my head.

It's still a DISTRACTION according to my parents.

"I'm so stupid. I should've thought about his before taking you up here." He says. He holds his head. He seems to do that when he's upset.

Suddenly I take his hand away from his head and he looks up at me, confused.

"It's not your fault. I'd don't know either. Not until now." I say.

"I used to be scared of going on a Ferris wheel." He says. "But then my mom would always calm me down and she taught me that I shouldn't be afraid."
"You're mom sounds great." I say.
"She is."

I don't take my eyes off of jungkook. Afraid if I
do, I might go scream and cry at the same time.

"Look. It's a pretty day today." He says. "Looking up is great. But I like lookin down."

My eyes are big. "What?!?" I say. Why would he??

He laughs. "You know. Being looked down by people for my whole life. I like looking down at them for once." He says. And suddenly, I look down too.

Jungkook smiles.

~when they get off the Ferris Wheel~

"Why don't we eat some carnival food?" Jungkook asks.

I'm starving. But what exactly do they sell in carnivals?

Jungkook dragged me to a stand and bought me lemonade, and pretzels.

"Oooo.." he says dragging me towards another stand. "Let's get chocolate!" He exclaims.

He's like a little bunny.

A little bunny out to kill you.

We get a LOT of chocolate for him. And somehow, we eat it all. The chocolate melted so we had to eat it quickly.

There was some melted chocolate on Jungkook's hands and I caught him licking it off. He saw me and stopped immediately.

I giggle at him and he blushes looking away.

I close my eyes and imagine Jungkook wearing bunny ears.

I open my eyes to see him staring at me like a weirdo.

My cute little bunny...
