"Hey," Jihoon's attention was diverted to the voice behind him and he was met up with a smiling Soonyoung staring back at him. His heart skipped a beat.

"Oh, uh... hey," Jihoon awkwardly greeted back as he watched Soonyoung sitting down next to him on the bench. Soonyoung turned to look at his wristwatch and furrowed his eyebrows together.

"You're here early." Jihoon chuckled as he noticed the time. It was quarter to eleven and they've settled to meeting up at eleven in the morning sharp by the entrance of the amusement park.

"Like you're not."

"Yeah, yeah, I got excited. What about you, though? What time did you get here?" Jihoon bit his lip. He had actually gotten here an hour before eleven. Maybe he was the one who got excited here.

"I just arrived here." He lied. Soonyoung hummed, buying the lie. "Where are the Chinese couple?"

"Oh, I actually came with them. They went ahead."

"We should probably join them as well then." Soonyoung stood up from the wooden bench and offered his hand to the younger. Jihoon just eyed it weirdly and looked up to the taller. Soonyoung chuckled.

"What?"

"I can stand on my own, y'know?"

"Yeah, I know that but," Soonyoung reached over and grabbed hold of the midget's hand, catching the other by surprise as Soonyoung hoisted him up and held his hand firmly by his side. "I just want to hold your hand for as long as I can."

Jihoon just gaped while he felt his cheeks starting to burn hot. He turned away immediately to hide his face but Soonyoung was already chuckling.

"You're really cute."

"Shut up. Let's just get this thing over with so I can go back to sleep!"

"You're really lazy, Jihoon... I like it."

"Fucking gross."

The two boys entered the amusement park hand in hand and Jihoon felt dizzy by the amount of people right in front of him. He had a frown dancing on his face as his head tried to catch up with the big crowd all over the place.

Fucking Mingu and his fucking dares. I hate Mingu... Jihoon cursed in his head as Soonyoung pulled him to a direction he doesn't know where.

Soonyoung led the two of them to a line of people. Jihoon looked ahead and grimaced. That's a long fucking line now. I think it will take us until noon to just get those goddamned tickets.

"Is this your first time to go to an amusement park?" Soonyoung asked out of the blue and Jihoon looked up to the older. Soonyoung was looking down at him as well and Jihoon averted his gaze.

"No. This is actually my third. I first came here with my parents when I was four. The second was with Minghao and Mingyu. This time, I'm with you." Soonyoung nodded in understatement and smiled.

"I'm glad to have the honor of going to the amusement park with you. Were your past experiences fun?"

"It did at first. But the second time was a disaster. Mingyu keeps on insisting to test out all the rides. He threw up thrice and asked us to buy cotton candies. When we did, he complained that it tasted disgusting. I think it had something to do with the vomit." Soonyoung laughed at the other's mini story and patted Jihoon's shoulder, calming down.
