Yuta:

The car ride from dinner to the Tempozan Ferris wheel was long enough to make me sleepy, but I blinked back the sleep because Taeyong had told me he was looking forward to this and I wanted to make it special. The cameras were rolling but I was confident that this footage would be boring enough to be edited out, so I lay down across the seat, my head resting on Taeyong's lap. I was facing upwards so he looked down at me and brushed the hair off my forehead.

"Daijoubu?" He whispered. I nodded and gave him a slow blink. Ever since he told me cats slow blinked at humans to say I love you, I made sure to blink at him when I didn't feel like speaking. He chuckled and went back to listening to music on his phone. There was a little traffic and we spent a lot of time just watching the street lights whizz past the window steadily like a hypnosis machine...It was nice. It was always nice just being together.

When we reached the Ferris wheel, the staff from the other car pulled the door open and a blast of ice wind woke me up immediately.

"You two need to hurry. They're closing soon." The PD said when we stepped out of the car. Uh oh... I didn't think twice. I grabbed Taeyong's hand and I ran. We were halfway up the two flights of stairs when I caught Taeyong wince and remembered he shouldn't be running because of his arm.

"Shit. Taeyong..."

"Don't worry. Go. We're nearly there." We hopped up the last step and I beamed at the ride operator who was holding a door open for us. Behind us I saw Mr Lee climbing up the last few steps with a monster glare on his face. I grinned at him sheepishly. He just rolled his eyes and stood back, trying to look stern. The rest of the staff and the PD trailed up the stairs just as we got inside the cart that had been booked for us. The PD, who was huffing and puffing handed us a selfie stick.

"The ride...is 15 minutes...try..." Cough. "Try get some footage inside. Ok?" We nodded and the camera man handed her a bottle of water as the doors shut. We waved at everyone who was waiting on the platform and then we were moving. It was slow and Taeyong took the time to set up his phone on the stick.

"We should record a video for the other members as well. We can send it on the group chat." He said. He opened the video function and pressed record.

"Yorobun! We're having fun in Osaka and tonight we're on the Tempozan Ferris wheel. The night view is amazing. And the floors are glass, which is really creepy." I said. Taeyong nodded beside me.

"Really. And if you can see behind us right now there's a ship. It's lit all over and it looks gorgeous." He tilted the camera to give it a better view.

"We miss you guys. Next time maybe we'll come with you."

"I don't miss anyone." I muttered playfully. Taeyong looked like he wanted to smack me but his free hand was already holding the stick. He chose to stick out his tongue instead. I laughed at him and he ended the video. We recorded one for the show too, blowing kisses and telling the fans to come visit the next time they were here.

"It really is pretty up here." He whispered when we were done.

"And quiet..." I added. I reached for his hand that was free now. "I know you like the quiet sometimes." He smiled at me and squeezed my hand leaning his head on my shoulder.

"Wait." I said. "I've always wanted to do this." I shifted and shuffled us around so that I was sitting with my back firmly against the glass. Taeyong was between my legs and both our legs were up on the seat across from us. His hair was tickling my cheek but I didn't mind. I wrapped my arms around him and he sank deeper against my chest.
