Strangers

"You're the air in my lungs
You're the fields where I run
You're the sky where I'm floating"

"...What's the matter?"

"Hm? Oh, nothing! You said you wanted to go on the rides, right?" You asked Kangjoon after returning back to reality.

After having the 'conversation' with Jin, you got a call from the president saying he had just arrived at the park and wanted to see you.

His calls and meetings took up most of the morning and afternoon as it was now nearing to 3pm.

"Yes! Hurry, before the guards spot us!" Grabbing your arm gently, the dark haired male began to lead you down one of the paths that lead to the park's maze.

"Wait! The rides are the other-"

"Sh! We need new outfits!" He had remembered when Hoseok told you two about how there were animal costumes and face painting in the middle of the maze for those who make it. Taking this as his opportunity to escape the guards while also having fun figuring out the maze, he decided to go through with his plan.

"Oh yeah! The animal costumes!" Taking the lead, you were now in front and showing the way to the middle as you had been here before from previous years.

After a few twists and turns, you made it to the middle as predicted.

"We're here!"

"Good, where are the costumes?" Looking through the crowd that had manages to find their way in, you finally found the little pop up shop that was indeed selling costumes.

"Over there! Lets go" carefully, you two pushed through the crowd and finally made it to the small shop.

"Hey guys, what can I do for you?" Looking around at the costumes on display, you thought on what to pick. The blue koala?

The pink bunny?

The yellow dog?

"Can we have two squirrel costumes?"

"Sure" squirrels?

"How did you know they sold those?" You asked inquisitively, seeing that there were no other costumes on display.

"I saw a couple wearing it on our way here"

"Here you guys go, that will be-" before he could say the price, Kangjoon placed a 50000 won note in his hands before taking the bag of costumes.

"Come on, Y/N. Let's go get changed" the shop keeper looked confused before shrugging it off and decided to keep the money. You followed after the president to where the changing tents were and there he passed your costume.

"See you in a few!" And just like that, he disappeared in to the tents. You didn't know where he was getting all this energy from since he had been in meetings all day.

Deciding to go along with his plan, you stepped in to the female changing section and, with difficulty, got in to your squirrel costume.

Simultaneously, both of you had exited at the same time only for the both of you to also laugh at the same time.

"You look so weird!"

"Says you!"

"Search everywhere!" Both you and the president looked at where the voice had came from, only to see the guards looking around anxiously.

"Let's go!" Grabbing your paw'd hand, Kangjoon guided you out to the maze exit and away from the guards. Going through twists and turns, you finally made it out and quickly tried to blend in to the crowd. Well, as best as you two could while wearing squirrel costumes.

"...I think...we lost them" the male said while taking deep breaths inbetween.

"Yeah, let's get to the rides before they do find us" you suggested before leading him through the crowd. The rides were not that far but the ever moving crowd made it hard to make it through.

"Hey! Watch it!" A woman exclaimed after bumping in to you to which you apologised repeatedly.

"We should have found another way through..." Kangjoon had never been in a situation like this and even if he was, the crowd would have been dispersed by the guards. He was always inside, conducting meetings or doing paper work.

"We're nearly there, look! I can see the rollercoaster" you stated while pointing over at the large blue ride that over looked the park. After getting his energy back, Kangjoon picked up the pace and finally made it through the large crowd.

"Finally! Let's go on that one first!" He yelled eagerly before pushing you towards the rollercoaster.

However, the lines that were queuing up suddenly went away, their faces annoyed at something that was said to them.

"What's going on?" You asked aloud while watching everyone leave the rides.

"We've been waiting for ages and they just close the rides? What a joke" you heard someone complain while walking past you. Looking back at the twenty four year old, you saw his sullen expression as he realised that the guards must have something to do with this.

"...we tried"

"We've found him!" One of the guards that were close by notified the others via his ear piece before running over to the both of you.

"You shouldn't have left our sights, Mr. Seo. What if something bad were to-"

"I get it. I'll stay in clear view of everyone so don't worry" annoyed that he couldn't escape this time, he removed the hood of the costume before walking off.

You looked back at the guard who was keeping his eyes on his boss while returning to his station. Sighing to yourself, you felt sorry for the future sighter as he might not have been able to try new things since he had become president.

"Hmm..." you were about to run after him until someone had stopped you from doing so by blocking your way.

"Wha-" looking up at the taller person, you saw that the culprit was the usually stoic ice user.

"You know how dangerous it is for you to be standing there alone?" And of course he would be there to nag at you.

"I've literally been on my own for like 20 seconds"

"Mhm, where did your 'family friend' go?" Namjoon reminded you of the president which made you move and see past the hero at where Kangjoon was before but isn't anymore.

"Thanks, Namjoon. You made me lose him" you were about to walk past him until he grabbed your arm to make your turn around and look at him.

"Wait! I needed to show you someone-"

"Y/N!" A woman exclaimed not far from you two. Looking behind Namjoon, your eyes widened at the sight of two people waving hello at you.

"...

Mum and dad?!"
