Chapter Seven

“Where to next?” Minho asked as they walked away from the ride they were just on.

“OVER THERE!! OH MY GOSH JAE LOOOOOK!!!” Sokka screamed in excitement. Sokka pointed at the store selling some ice cream.

Sokka had already had four chocolate bars, two cones of cotton candy and a bag of popcorn. “WAIT LET’S GO TO THAT RIDE!!” Sokka ran off to the nearest roller coaster. It had the shortest line and it looked like it went really fast.

Minho looked up at it with an uneasy look, which made Jae laugh. “You’re not scared are you?” She teased. 

“Pfft no way.” He said with a nervous laugh. “Maybe I should have bought tickets to a different place…” He trailed off with a nervous smile.

“Aw come on you big baby.” Jae laughed as she grabbed his wrist and dragged him along with her after Sokka.

“Are you excited?” Sokka whispered loudly to Minho and Jae who were sitting in front of him.

“I am very excited. I hope this thing goes super fast and we go down steep drops.” She said to Sokka.

Minho clutched the bar in front of him like it was a life support. “No, get me off.” He whispered loudly. “We already went on a roller coaster. No more!” He whispered frantically.

Jae and Sokka both laughed as Minho screamed like a girl when someone shook the cart.

Minho glared at the employee who shook the cart. “Don’t touch it.” He hissed through his teeth. The guy backed away and clicked a button to start the ride. “Sit back and enjoy the ride.” The guy said through the mic, with a sly smile at Minho. 

Jae and Sokka both cheered but Minho held on even tighter. “We’re gonna die! Jae! If you survive this please tell my dad I love him and I’m sorry for even having this idea.” Minho begged.

Jae laughed and said okay. The ride moved forward and Minho let out a small cry of fear and hugged the bar even tighter. “I’m never going to forgive you guys.” Minho said.

“It’s okay, Minho. Just think happy thoughts.” Jae said with a smile. “Pretend you’re somewhere else.” She said as she pat him on the back.

The ride was going upwards and Jae felt a rush of happiness. This is something families do, and she had missed out on all of it but now was the time to make up for it. 

“That… was amazing!!!” Sokka yelled with excitement as they got off the ride.

Jae laughed and nodded in agreement. “That was the coolest ride ever.”

“That… was pure torture.” Minho said.

Sokka and Jae both laughed at this. “Shouldn’t we be getting home soon?” Jae asked as she saw it was almost four o’clock in the afternoon.

“We could but we don’t have to.” Minho said as he looked down at his phone. 

“What do you mean? Won’t your dad and my mom be mad?” Jae asked in confusion.

Minho smiled and shook his head. “My dad said it was okay as long as we do the work we missed tomorrow. Although, he didn’t tell your mom so she might be mad.”
