"Hye, wake up. We're here."

Hyesoo slowly opened her eyes, rubbing them clear. Jeno and her were on their way to a surprise place together. However, on the bus, Hyesoo had fallen asleep from her exhaustion. "We are?" She questioned. She had a few hairs all over the place, her eyes were droopy, and she had a small pout on her face. Jeno thought she was extremely cute like this, and he had to hide his smile.

"Yes. Come on," Jeno replied, extending his hand out for Hyesoo to hold. Hyesoo groggily took a hold of his hand. The both of them made their way out of the bus and onto the streets. After a couple of steps, Hyesoo had finally fully awoken, a light pep in her step came about. Jeno looked at her, smiling, "I see you've finally awoken."

She nodded, "Yep! So, where are we going?"

Jeno just turned to face forward once again, "Surprise."

Hyesoo let out a small "hmph" and looked down at the pavement, refusing to look up. Jeno chuckled at the girl before covering her eyes. "What are you doing, Jeno? I know it's you," Hyesoo remarked. Jeno couldn't see her face or her eyes from behind her, but he could tell that she was definitely rolling her eyes. Jeno leaned down to Hyesoo's height and whispered in her ear, "We're here."

He uncovered her eyes, and Jeno swore that he saw a glimmer in her eyes. Hyesoo turned around to face Jeno, quickly hugging him. Jeno stumbled back a bit by the sudden hug, but he quickly returned it. "Really? Amusement park?" Hyesoo questioned with excitement, letting go of the hug.

Jeno smiled sheepishly and nodded, "I thought you might like it. It's kind of our place, sort of."

"Are you kidding? I love it!" She exclaimed, jumping up and down a bit. She quickly dragged Jeno inside as soon as she could. They quickly got their tickets and made their way into the theme park. After having an argument over who was paying, which Jeno won, they made their way into the park.

"Let's start there!" Hyesoo exclaimed, pointing at one of the many roller coasters. The line was short, after all, it was a Monday. They had gotten into the ride and sat down. Hyesoo turned towards Jeno as they waited for the ride to start, "Is it a bad time to mention that I'm scared of heights?" She questioned. Jeno looked towards the girl with opened eyes and a shocked face. He was silent for a few seconds, "You're kidding. I thought you got over it!" He exclaimed.

"Well, I mean, almost over it," She sheepishly smiled. Jeno sighed at the girl's carelessness to go on the ride if she knew she was scared. Nevertheless, he grabbed her hand for Hyesoo to squeeze when she was scared. And it was at this moment, the ride started. The two zoomed off onto the ride.

Once it was over and the two of them stepped off, Jeno groaned. "I think you bruised my hand," He complained, referring to how Hyesoo had squeezed a hold of it the entire ride because she was scared. Hyesoo rolled her eyes at the boy. She hit his shoulder, "Shut up, I didn't squeeze it that much." Jeno wanted to retort back saying she did, but he didn't want to get the girl upset. Besides, it really didn't hurt that much. He chuckled, "I was joking."

"What about here?" Hyesoo asked.

Jeno turned his head to face the direction Hyesoo was pointing at. "Here? You're kidding." Hyesoo shook her head, grabbing Jeno's hand, forcing him to follow her to the next ride. It has been about an hour that the two had been in the theme park, the two taking a break to ride a small merry-go-round and eating some food to rest. This would've gone for longer if Hyesoo didn't get distracted at a ride she wanted to go on.

Jeno scoffed. "You're gonna get sick, Hye."

Hyesoo mimicked his sentence before saying, "Come on. It's just one of those spinny rides, I've always wanted to go on one. Please." She looked up at Jeno with begging eyes. Jeno attempted to ignore her in order to save face, but he eventually gave in. "Fine," He muttered, Hyesoo clapped her hands in joy before dragging Jeno into the line, "But if you get sick, I told you so."

Hyesoo rolled her eyes, "Yeah, yeah."

As the two got off after it was over, Hyesoo and Jeno both wobbily made their way off. Jeno groaned, "I'm never doing that again."

"I would," Hyesoo shrugged. Jeno looked over at the girl and glared at her, "Of course you would. It was your idea after all. How are you not even sick?" He questioned.

"Well, I was. But, it wasn't that bad, you're just a bit of a mess," Hyesoo replied, jokingly patting the boy's shoulder. Jeno rolled his eyes at the girl and chuckled under his breath. His cheeks began to heat up, slightly flustered at Hyesoo's interaction; he began to walk faster, leaving Hyesoo behind.

"Hey, Jeno! Wait up!" Hyesoo exclaimed, running to catch up with him.

The two spent about two more hours at the park, going on a few more rides, playing some games at the booth, and eating some snacks. The sun was about to set, leaving the park with an orange and red hue. Jeno and Hyesoo were chatting, walking around the park; however, it seemed as if there was something on Jeno's mind since his reactions were quite small.

"Jeno, you okay?" Hyesoo asked, worried as the boy seemed to be quite out of it, "We can head home now if you're not feeling well."

"Huh?" Jeno asked as he stepped back into reality, "I'm fine."

"Are you sure?" She questioned, her eyes still filled with worry.

"Yeah, totally. It's just... I hope you know I really like you," Jeno spitted out.

Hyesoo smiled, "I know, you told me already." Jeno walked in front of her, preventing the both of them from walking any further. "I like you. A lot. And, I wanna be with you," He confessed. The two of them stood there just like that. Jeno waited for a response, anything. Whether she felt the same way or rejected him, Jeno wanted an answer from her.

But, she didn't say anything. She just stood there. Jeno was starting to worry. His eyes opened wide as he tried to shake off the subject. "I mean- It's nothing, forget I said anything-"

"What? No, I'm sorry if I didn't answer quick enough," Hyesoo remarked, cutting off what Jeno had been saying, "I just- maybe I want to be with you too."

It seemed as if there was more Hyesoo wanted to say, but Jeno was blinded by the light in her eyes, he didn't notice. Perhaps by instinct, Jeno began to lean in. Hyesoo started to stutter, hoping for a sentence to come out, but nothing. Their lips, a few inches apart. Any second from now on, they would've kissed. That is, until they heard someone calling them.

"Hyung? Hye?"
