RING MY ALARM . . . !
ferris wheel . . . ! (1.2k)
after yeonjun had sent you the address of where you two were going to meet, you were confused. the location was apparently just a plain field. you had no idea what yeonjun was thinking, but then again, you never did. however, as you walk towards the location, a few streets away, you notice loud sounds coming from the same direction and a ferris wheel in the distance.
it was a traveling fair, like the ones that go from town to town with its rides, games, and food trucks. you hadn't been to one since you were younger, and luckily for you, you had made it just in time, since the fair would be leaving tomorrow.
"so, what do you think?" a very familiar voice speaks from beside you.
you were too focused on the bright lights that adorned all the rides nearby that you hadn't even noticed yeonjun walk up next to you. he had watched you for a moment, taking in the way you looked at everything with such hopeful eyes.
"i think that it actually looks pretty fun," you say, turning to stare at him. taking a second to take him in, you notice that he looked just as excited as you were.
"why do you sound surprised? i'll have you know, i'm very good at making plans," yeonjun says proudly, puffing his chest out.
"i guess i just didn't expect this from a man who i've seen beg me to follow him back on twitter."
"okay, that is entirely different," he says with a small pout, "but come on! we should start heading in now."
yeonjun nods his head towards the entrance, walking into the fair with you following after him.
"so, what should we do first?" he says as he leads you two through the busy crowd and towards the rides.
"and here i thought you had everything planned," you tease as you look between the ferris wheel and the small roller coaster in the distance.
"i'm just letting you decide, sweetheart," he says, giving you a wink. a few weeks ago, you would've rolled your eyes, but you figured that you'd indulge him just this once.
"fine," you say as you look around again. your eyes scan all the games and rides nearby, but you always seem to look back at the ferris wheel. the tall structure stood proudly as the center of the entire fair, grabbing everyone's attention. you hadn't been on one since you were a child, and going on one with someone like yeonjun didn't sound like a bad way to relive that memory.
"i'm guessing you're choosing the ferris wheel, then?" yeonjun asks as he points toward it.
"yeah," you confirm, "but don't we need tickets or something?"
yeonjun nods, getting out two wristbands from his pocket. "i already bought them."
"i can't believe you're spending even more money on me," you huff as you take the wristband that he hands you, "i thought this was supposed to be me paying you for your help."
"you coming out with me today was you're way of paying me," yeonjun shrugs, putting on his wristband.
"there's really no reason for you to be doing all this for me."
"just think of it as special treatment for being the first person i've ever tutored," he says, trying to assure you that everything was being done out of his own free will, and, not that you'd know, also because he had grown to care about you more than he had ever expected. "are you ready to get on the ride now?"
you sigh in defeat, nodding as you finally put on your band. "yep, i'm ready."
yeonjun smiles at you again as he leads the both of you towards and on the ride. you sat across from him, your legs brushing against his in the cramped space.
the ride starts moving and you watch as you get lifted higher off the ground. the people start becoming less identifiable and the city lights become more visible. you could see up to miles away by the time you got to the top of the ride.
you hear a small laugh come from right in front of you, to which you turn to see yeonjun taking a picture of you.
"i'm sorry, you just looked like a little kid with the way you were practically pressing your face against the glass," he teases, looking at the pictures he took.
"i did not," you roll your eyes, moving to sit next to him and grab his phone to see the pictures. "okay, maybe i did a little."
however, as you were scrolling through the pictures he had taken without you noticing, yeonjun had become incredibly aware of how close you two were now. the sole fact that you chose to sit next to him despite how small the little booth you two were in was, was enough to make him grow conscious of everything.
he had tried not to dwell on the fact that you two were out together by yourselves, too afraid that he'd start stuttering and acting like a clutz the moment he would realize he really was alone with you. he felt like a teenager who was experiencing his first crush (although, taehyun would surely say that that wasn't an inaccurate description).
as the ride begins to move again and you two were heading down, you notice the number of rings coming from yeonjun's phone you hadn't noticed before. you look outside and notice a few people looking at the two of you.
"well, aren't you popular," you tease as you hand yeonjun his phone.
yeonjun lets out a small breath he hadn't noticed he was holding, his face a bit flushed. "i guess i'm just too charming," he jokes, trying to regain his composure that he, once again, managed to lose around you.
you smile at his cheeky reply, having gotten used to this side of him. you step out of the little carriage you were in as soon as the ride stops, followed by yeonjun who seemed to be avoiding eye contact with you right now.
you stare at him weirdly. "are you alright?" you ask, noticing his unusually silent demeanor.
"yeah, i'm fine," he says as he clears his throat. he finally looks back at you, noticing the way you were looking at him with a hint of concern in your eyes. that was enough to make his heart flutter again.
"why don't we do something else now," yeonjun says as he tries to change the topic. he looks around and settles on a game booth nearby. "how about that? we can have a friendly competition."
you look behind him at the booth that was filled with prizes and a bored looking employee. "sure," you say as you look back at the other, "i bet you that i'll win, though."
"we'll see about that," he retorts, giving you his signature smirk. finding his confidence again, he reaches out his hand towards you and looks at you expectantly.
you let out a small sigh, a small gracing your face as you take it and let him lead you towards the game. after all, it wouldn't hurt if you indulge him again, just for today.
