wooyoung was seated on san's couch as san cooked some ramen for the both of them. wooyoung was thinking about san, considering his true feelings for him.

'i'm pretty sure i caught feelings for san when i daydreamed about him. i daydreamed such an ethereal human being with such a nice personality, how is it possible to not fall in love? but i still can't believe i'm crushing on my imagination, that's crazy. my stomach gets mad when i'm around him; millions of butterflies violently fluttering in my stomach. my heart aches, and i couldn't help but get excited. is this what a crush feels like? wow.' wooyoung was deep in thought.

"woo! ramen's ready!" san exclaimed excitedly as he placed two bowls of ramen on the glass dining table.

"oh!" wooyoung snapped out of his thoughts. he jumped off the couch and ran to the ramen. san cooed at wooyoung's cute reaction and they started devouring the ramen like how hungry tigers eat their prey.

"this is tasty!" wooyoung mumbled as he had a mouth full of ramen.

"don't talk when you're eating!"

"okay, mister manners." wooyoung playfully rolled his eyes. san slapped wooyoung's arm and continued eating.

"your time here is short, you know have 5 hours before you wake up in reality. time passes quicker here, so there isn't much time. let's quickly finish this ramen and i'll bring you to a place here to forget about your worries!"

"okay!" wooyoung said, feeling unusually happy around san.

"wait, let me call hongjoong to ship us to the best place here." san said as he fished out his phone.

"okay." wooyoung said as he sat down on the couch, hugging the same cushion again. his thoughts drifted off to his life, instead of san. he wondered why his parents decided to have him if they knew they were going to neglect him, he wondered the point of his life. most of the world didn't even know him, he felt like his existence was completely pointless. all this suffering for what? wooyoung even felt guilty for existing. he felt hopeless.

"okay, he's coming in 5 minutes!" san interrupted wooyoung's thoughts.

"okay." wooyoung replied, rather gloomily. san can read people really well, so he instantly knew wooyoung how wooyoung was feeling.

"hey, wanna talk about it?"

"how'd you know i'm sad?"

"people here can read humans really well."

"ah, i see. it was nothing, honestly. just another depressive episode of mine."

"ah...oh! hongjoong's here. let's go!" san got interrupted by a text message from hongjoong.

san took wooyoung's hand and brought him out of the house, which, wooyoung blushed at the contact. in front of the house was a huge brown wooden ship. it looked amazing.

"c'mon up!" hongjoong waved his arm. san and wooyoung quickly obeyed and jumped onto the cruise.

"san, i see you brought another person." hongjoong smirked, "what's his name?"

"i'm wooyoung." wooyoung introduced.

"i see. wooyoung, no guarantees that he won't go head over heels about you sooner or later." hongjoong teased.

"hyung!" san exclaimed, ears and cheeks going red from embarrassment. "anyways, bring us to the twilight amusement park please!"

"okay." hongjoong obeyed as he started operating the ship.

"an amusement park? that's cliché." wooyoung scoffed.

"no, you'll see. it might sound boring but, there are a lot of surprises awaiting!"

"okay." wooyoung surrendered, he had nothing to say. he had never even been to an amusement park, so who was he to judge san?

"sannie, wooyoungie, we're almost there! just wait a little while.

"okay!"

"we're here!" hongjoong announced.

"thanks for the ride, hongjoong-ssi."

"drop the formalities, be relaxed around me. anyways, you're welcome, wooyoung! have fun!"

"thanks." san thanked hongjoong. wooyoung and san then got off the ship, as hongjoong sailed away.

"wooyoung, let's go." san smirked as he held wooyoung's hand, pulling him inside the deserted amusement park, with loud and upbeat music playing.
