They've finished what they wanted to do and now they were just walking around without looking at each other, but they were hand in hand.
"Hey." Mark states, pointing at the photobooth. "Do you want to?" He asked and Jinyoung bites his lower lip. "Um." He states and Mark faced him, worried. "Why?" He asked again and Jinyoung gave him a sad smile. "Junseo didn't like taking photos in photobooths." He answered and Mark sighed, letting go of Jinyoung.
For a second, he was scared that Mark was mad, but Mark placed his gentle hands on his shoulders. "But I'm not Junseo, am I?" He asks, raising his eyebrows. "I'm your fiancé." He adds, smiling when Jinyoung's eyes shifted a bit from the sudden declaration. Mark was slightly shocked too, his heart skipping a bit from what he said.
"You're making new memories. And it's with me." Mark adds anyway, shrugging. Jinyoung stares at him for a bit, the people who were walking avoided them as they were in the way.
Why do I need to make more memories with you if we won't see each other after Friday? Jinyoung thinks and was about to decline, but Mark gave him a reassuring smile, softly patting each of his shoulders. That smile was enough for Jinyoung to nod, smiling at him too.
"Okay." He states even though deep down he was unsure about having such good memories with Mark when they're not even together together.
Mark smiles, taking his hand again and they both rushed towards the photobooth. Mark lets him enter first before he followed. "It takes six photos, so let's talk about what to do." He says, facing Jinyoung. Their eyes widened at how close they were, the tight space can't fit both of them.
Slowly, they smiled, then their smiles turned to chuckles. "Okay, okay." Jinyoung says, clearing his throat. "So, a peace sign, a goofy one and a serious one." He lists. Mark sees the props on the side. "Let's use those." He points and Jinyoung turns his head to see what he's pointing at before nodding.
"Okay." Mark says, taking some coins. He puts them in and the countdown started. They followed what they listed, a peace sign, a goofy one with Jinyoung taking his tongue out and crossing his eyes while Mark pushed his cheeks together with wide eyes and a serious one, no smile, no emotion.
They struggled a bit with the props though. Jinyoung placed a crown on his head and Mark bites on a plastic flower. After that, Mark hands the flower to Jinyoung with a cheeky smile and the other acted surprised and the last one is just them laughing while leaning into each other because of their goofiness. It was really fun, just laughing together like this.
They head out and waited for the photos. Two copies went out and Mark took them, handing the other to Jinyoung. "Cute." Jinyoung states, looking at the photos with a wide smile. Mark smiles when he saw Jinyoung smiling brightly at him and waving the photo. They both put it in their wallets, keeping it straightened and safe.
"Let's walk around." Mark says, reaching his hand out for Jinyoung and the other proudly took it. "Sure."
They head outside with their jackets off, enjoying the cold air from being inside for too long. They sit side by side near the entrance as they watch people walk by. They were too close, their shoulders touching, but they didn't mind. They were silent for a bit, a comfortable silence surrounding them.
Jinyoung takes his phone to look for somewhere they could go for a rest after all the riding and the screaming while Mark stayed quiet. Then someone tapped Mark's thigh and he turned his head to see no one, until he looked down. "Yes?" He asked and Jinyoung turns his head as well. A little girl with pigtails was holding two polaroid photos and was looking up at them. "This is for you." She says in a cute small voice.
