A loud voice calls over and over again through the crowd. a long brown-haired girl was glancing everywhere hoping to find her best friend. 

From a faraway, she hears her best friend shouting her name, with a slow pace she started to walk toward her. As she reached her she squealed pulling the brown-haired girl into a hug like a kid who got candy for the first time.

"suyeon!! got the tickets, let's go" her best friend mirae jiggled excitingly sticking to suyeon's arms. they both walked toward the massive ride ahead of them. 

"rae... are you sure, that's high you know" suyeon pointed at the deadfall, thickly swallowing down the saliva. 

suyeon always had fear of heights. when she actualizes how scary the rollercoaster ride is, she felt scared so she asked mirae twice for assurance. little did she know she wasn't the only one being dragged there.

"hoseok stop whining like a baby, the ride won't kill you for sure" the older stood there annoyed by the younger one stubbornness.

"but u guys know I hate heights" hoseok protested defending himself from the convincing from the younger. "fine if you don't want to go with us we will be fine leaving you here alone"  the blonde boy grin from ear to ear pulling the other boys to the entrance of the ride.

"fine, but don't leave me alone to wander off it's boring" hoseok jogged up to their level giving a sad expression. the other boys shot a huge smile at him and seated on the pair of seats

"The seats are full I guess your gonna sit alone?" the younger one smirked as hoseok tense upon hearing the sentence.

Suyeon slowly approached the entrance carefully examining the seating arrangement. only two chairs left exactly for them but different sides. guess that means suyeon has to sit beside a stranger. 

Mirae calmed her down before sitting on her seat giving a sympathetic smile. suyeon uncomfortably seated beside the scared or worried boy glaring at the boys in front of them. after a few minutes, the cart started to move at a slow speed.

The boy gripped onto the safety bar tightly breathing in and out. suyeon didn't move a little bit, as the cart moves closer and closer toward the deadfall her heart started to beat rapidly in her ribcage. she had the urge to hold onto someone's hand but she remained calm as possible.

suddenly the cart falls with great force from deadfall full speed ahead, unintentionally suyeon grabbed the least thing that was close to her, the boy's hand, who was clutching onto the safety bar. he suddenly opened his eyes looking at suyeon shaking body as suyeon tightly holds his hands

hoseok panicked with fear as he couldn't anything else intertwined their hands and started to talk to her suddenly. suyeon only can hear a faint voice nothing else. but she knew she can't stay like this forever. with the only energy, she has she mumbled "I'm okay"

hoseok took a long breath sighing with their hands still intertwined. both of them were silent with fear especially suyeon, but this time she didn't faint or cry out because she felt safe holding the strange boy's hand.

I shouldn't have agreed to take the ride.

it seems calming holding the boy's hand. slowly tightening the grip for another fall, hoseok jumped in shock. His eyes searched for her eyes desperately.  suyeon remained her eyes closed and relaxed taking deep breaths 

As long she holds onto him everything will be fine.

hoseok leans toward her slowly taking his hand to touch the pale girl's face sitting beside him." what's wrong look at me" he's voice stern and worried even he couldn't recognize the mysteriousness of his own voice

suyeon heard his voice and opened her eyes slowly looking at the surrounding, again feeling sickness take over she closed her eyes and shook her head. hoseok sighed and carress her hand to make her calm. 

after a few minutes, the cart stopped at the entrance. suyeon forced her eyes opened and looked at their hand intertwined. hoseok looked at her confused and as it clicked both became a huge blushing mess. suyeon stood up bowing multiple times at him feeling embarrassed.

"it's okay you were scared, " hoseok said fastly as his heart starts to beat fast. mirae came running toward her best friend frighten. hoseok stood up and looked for his friends who were whispering and bickering far away.

"suyeon you look pale let's go home "mirae holds her hands leading toward the car which was parked few meters away. with wobbly feet suyeon slowly walks with her best friend. still not able to process what happened before in the ride.

"take this it will calm you down" mirae hands suyeon a water bottle. taking the bottle suyeon chugged down the water. " why is your face so red when you stood up" mirae suddenly asked the question causing suyeon to spit out the water in her mouth.

suyeon panicked if she tells her best friend that she held onto a boy's hand she will be made." I was holding my breath"suyeon answer without looking at her and sitting inside the car. mirae eyed her suspiciously and sitting beside her and rode over to their apartment.

****

hoseok approached them with a red face almost like a tomato. as his's friend sees it they all started to tease him." how are you feeling holding onto a girl's hand" the oldest smirked as he sees hoseok blushing.

"she was scared probably more scared than me" hosoek argued there teasing."tae!!!! let's go" the youngest shouted running toward another ride with full excitement. taehyung left the other boys alone and started running toward jungkook who is few meters away.

"jin hyung why are we here I'm tired let's go home" hoses dragged his feet toward the energetic two younger ones. it was strange that hosoek asked them to go home, he was mostly the exciting one even after the death ride.

"Joon who was that girl exactly?" the blonde guy started to walk with the others. hoseok slowed down his pace meeting the confused gaze of jimin looking at namjoon.

"she was suyeon the shy girl in school you guys won't know because she just transferred." yoongi stayed silent for a minute and asked, "how do you know these things?".

namjoon cycles and looked at hoseok who was silently listening to their conversation." hobi did you see another girl with suyeon" hoseok jumped in surprise as he was caught in eavesdropping on them. he slowly nodded.

"so the girl was Kim mirae" jimin eyes widened as he found why namjoon knows." she was your sister" jin mumbled walking slowly with the other four boys.

But hoseok was deep in thoughts. he speeds slows down and looked the other side of the park to see suyeon and mirae walking slowly toward a car. A small smile crept on his face recalling the incident on the ride.

I guess we will meet again
