One Wish

CHAPTER 13

  It's 15:01 when I get to the cafe. I hate it when people are late and now I am late. It's only one minute but still. Ugh, stupid busses. I walk around that area but don't see Seven. I guess he's late for our date. Oh wow, now I'm calling it a date too. Suddenly somebody covers my eyes. I yelp quietly. "Guess who," I hear the guy saying. "Ha ha, I know it's you, Seven." He removes his hands and let's me turn around. Those "nice clothes" he was looking for were just a light green dress shirt and gray jeans. "You look really nice, MC~~" he says while looking at me up and down, "I like the sweater." He says it in a nice way that makes me happy. "Haha... Thank you! You look good too~" "Ahh, really! I was worried I might overdress and I sort of think I did, hehe." "No, don't worry, you didn't.

Well, what do you have in store for us? You said you'll find places we could go on our "date"," I do air quotes. "Yes, I've got a plan where we could go~. You're calling it a date now too~?" I sigh. "No, it's not a date. We're two friends going out to celebrate the pain that starts tomorrow." "Come on~~," he says pouting at me. "No." "Please...?" "No." "Please...?" "No." Yes, I'm cruel but I've got some dignity left in me. Now he's doing the puppy eyes. "Please~~" He looks so cute like this. Or, well, not cute but something like that. It really is irresistible. He can see that, so he smiles a very cute smile while keeping the puppy eyes. "Aghh, stop! That's too much!" He smiles wider. "Kyaa! Too wholesome!" Seven then bends down so he's face is exactly in front of me. "Please let this be a date," he whispers. That's too much. I put my face in my hands to hide my red face. "Ahh, fine fine. Stop being so cute now!" "Aww, that's so sweet~." He bends back up and looks at me with satisfaction. "I know now how to get anything out of you~." "N-no! Next time I'll... I'll... close my eyes so I can't see you." I cover my eyes, like I plan to do next time. He giggles at that.

"Anyway, want to know where we're going?" he says looking very excited. "Yeah! What do you have in store for me, haha." "We are going to the amusement park!" "Oh! I haven't been to one in years. Or, well, I've been there once, but still." He sighs of relief. "I'm glad you've been to one, since I haven't," and he does a wide smile. "Wait.. What? Like never ever?" "Yup. I have never been to an amusement park." I'm sort of shocked. He sees it and explains: "You see, I didn't have a really good childhood. You know... No parents..." "Oh, I'm sorry for that." He smiles: "It's okay. I haven't told you yet. I'll tell you someday though." "Is it that story?" "Heh, yeah, I'll tell you someday." There's a moment of silence. I try to break the silence: "Anyway, shall we get going?" "Oh, right, let's go~~" And so we get going.

On our way there we just talk about random stuff that comes on our mind. Like usually. It isn't awkward at all. Luckily it doesn't feel like a date at all. When we get there, Seven's eyes widen about 3 times. "Wow! It looks so cool!" He looks around in awe like a little kid. Then he turns to me and says very seriously: "We gotta try every ride here. Even if it takes all day." I look back at him determinedly: "Yes, we will." Having said that, we run around the park, trying everything there is to try. Finally, when it's about 20:00, we have done every ride there is.

"I'm surprised you're not nauseous since it's your first time here." "Guess I'm too excited to feel that, haha." "Well, that's everything. Ugh... My legs are killing me." We look around us, but there are no empty benches. "Let's just sit on the sidewalk." My legs are so tired of standing and running around that anything is fine. When we find an empty sidewalk I almost fall there. Seven looks at me for a second and then crouches in front of me. "I'll get us something to eat. You stay here, okay?" "Okay." He then runs off. How can he still run? I take out my phone and see if anybody is online on the messenger. When I open it, I see that everybody is online except us. Even Saeran is. The chatroom that they're talking in has been active for two hours. What have they been talking about for so long?
