The Promise

Halloween.

A day where everyone is allowed to scare people around, while wearing terrible costumes.

Mu Ziyang hated Halloween. Her fear of ghosts, monsters, and anything else that had something to do with that date was well known.

So why was he at an amusement park that day? Why was he even dressed up in a costume in the midst of so many people who looked like they were out of the horror movies that Ling Chao enjoyed tormenting him so much to watch?

- Because it seemed like a cool thing to do on Halloween - YueYue repeated that for the fifth time since they stepped there. - And our fans deserve cool videos, so make a sacrifice, will you? None of these things here are real.

Yes, ONER was there and Mu Ziyang had to be thankful for having so many people that he had to hold on to his leader. In that way it would seem that he was just trying not to get lost and not that he practically used it as a lifeboat.

Ling Chao was further ahead. It had been his idea, obviously. The boy might be growing up, but he continued with some troubled childish attitudes and YueYue insisted on supporting him. Mu Ziyang would give him a good slap when he got the chance.

- You could stop grumbling and enjoy the ride, right? How can you call me the old one when you act like this? - YueYue tried to make the environment lighter, but it didn't seem to give so much result. - Ling Chao is also scared to death, if it makes you feel a little avenged.

It did, but Mu Ziyang rolled his eyes in disdain and murmured that the youngest would still be beaten by him.

They continued walking to a separate area for the photo shoot they were going to do, which was free of people. It didn't take long for the team to reach them and ask YueYue to take their individual photos first.

He always took longer than the other two.

Ling Chao approached Mu Ziyang and smiled slyly. He was at a dangerous distance and could be slapped at any time, but he believed he would be safe under the eyes of so many people around the demarcated area.

- I think you really liked the place I chose for the photos, right? - the voice, full of play, showed that he was up to something.

Ling Chao was the only one who knew that YueYue had much more than brotherly feelings for Mu Ziyang. He had promised that he would never say anything, but he believed that his friend could feel the same way about the leader, and since YueYue didn't seem to want to take action, he set up some situations to try to bring them together.

He thought it was funny to see how much Mu Ziyang was prone to clinging to YueYue when he felt in danger.

- I'll move to your room until I stop having nightmares. You'll need to get me water at dawn, and go with me to the bathroom if I wake up at night, and ...

- Young man, your soul is so old. A soul that follows its soul mate for lives. A soul that has gone through a lot, but does not give up true love. - Mu Ziyang was interrupted by a lady who had crossed all the demarcations to approach him. He was startled, in a silly fear, since the woman was dressed as a gypsy and reminded him of witches from movies.

- Madam, I think it's better ... - he started to speak, taking a step back, but Ling Chao interjected.

- The old soul is there taking pictures, Grandma. - he laughed while pointing at YueYue, but the conversation did not extend, since security appeared quickly to get the woman out of there. She apologized for getting in the way and withdrew slowly, still looking at Mu Ziyang.

- Tell me that was another prank of yours.

- No, but it was very funny.

They turned their attention to what they had to do, but Mu Ziyang was unable to get the lady's words out of his head.
