i waited in front of the entrance, tapping on my feet anxiously. where are they? we were supposed to meet up at 10. i decided to come 5 minutes earlier but i couldn't help but worry. what if they cancelled it? what am i gonna do then?

my worries went away when i hear my name being called behind me. "renjun-ah!" i waved at him cheerily. looking behind him, i saw the other members waving at me and a few staffs. gathering in a circle, i realized the same girl next to jeno.

we awkwardly made eye contact and she threw a smile at me. "i'm mirae, you're sooyeon, right?" i nodded. dang,she's even prettier up close.

"we've been friends since we were trainees," jeno explained. pfft, friends much.

  deciding not to waste any time, we entered the fair. it felt strange, entering a quiet fair with barely anyone but that was the main point anyway.

  we all decided to go to  to get breakfast first. entering a small cafe, the smell of coffee beans and bread washed over me, making my stomach grumble. mirae chuckled at the sound coming from my stomach, turning my cheeks red.

"lets fill her up, shall we?" she said, ordering for the both of us.

  the two of us sat on a table, exchanging conversations while the rest are on the other table beside us. apparently she trained since she was 13 but she quit 2 years later because she didn't want to become an idol.

we talked about the basic things like age and where we live. i thought it would be awkward because i literally had a crush on this girl's boyfriend but honestly she's a really fun person to be around with.

"so...you and jeno?"

  her dimple popped out when jeno's name was mentioned. throughout the whole conversation, she kept glancing and smiling at jeno's direction, making it obvious there's something going on. my question was replied with a shrug.

  "lets go on that one!" renjun pointed at a ride. the passengers were brought high, high up and then suddenly dropped in the highest speed. hell no. i could hear the screams from miles away, meaning it's really really scary.

  "who's not going?" jisung asked. jisung and i raised our hands. so did jaemin. that little pussy. well at least there's jisung and... we can just toss the toeface somewhere else. i, kim sooyeon could never ever go on scary rollercoasters like that. ever.

  "no jisung, you're coming too," haechan winked at him, as if he's trying to send a signal.

"hyung, i don't wa-" haechan smacked his arm and pulled it forcefully, earning a grunt from the maknae.

  "bye-bye yeonnie" haechan smiled brightly, dragging jisung in his other arm towards the queue. they all waved at me sympathetically, leaving me with jaemin. why me?

  stomping my feet like a frustrated child, i sat on the benches patiently. hopefully they will finish faster.

the fair isn't that crowded but it isn't empty either. there are some children on bicycles and scooters strolling around. i remember i had a scooter once and it was really fun to ride on but the wheel fell out. and the reason why still remains unknown till this day.

  "hey,"

  i ignored jaemin and turned my back towards him. bitch. does he think i want to talk to him? no thank you.

  i heard him sigh and continued, "i'm sorry for what i said the other day," oh really? "i really am, sooyeon." he poked on my shoulder, trying to get my attention. "i know i crossed the line and i really didn't mean it-"
