“y/n right?” jake said as the door behind him shut, leaving both of the sunburned employees staring at eachother, before y/n broke the silence,
“Oh yeah, that’s me.” Not a single question on her mind to ask as Jake clears his throat, walking over to her table, pulling out his own chair.
“I know what I'm about to say might come off a little shocking or confusing, and if you wanted to hit me in the face, I would get that, but I may have,” Jake rambled on until the door behind him opened and Heeseung's head poked out.
“Oh, Jake, we need you back at the booth. Beomgyu just threatened to punt a kid.” Heeseung rattled off the sentence without a second thought, making y/n chuckle at the imagery, which Jake thought was good considering she hadn’t been very vocal about his actions so far, not that he really gave her a chance to speak.
“Give me one second hee.” Jake said, nudging his head towards y/n, hoping heeseung would get the message. Heeseung just waved him off,
“Don’t take too long, with your new girl,” he said, walking away, leaving the end of his words to quiet for y/n to hear.
“can i have your number! i swear i’ll make more sentence soon, i promise im not weird.” jake said pleading sounding like an absolute weirdo, fortunately for jake, y/n likes the trait.
“Sure!” is all y/ns mind could come up with, pinching herself for not coming up with something better, but when Jake holds out his phone for her to enter her number, she's quick.
warnings: swearing kai being a hazard, lmk if you find anything else
emi's note: yes, yes, I know that this has taken me almost 3 years to complete….However, I hated my old writing so much that I needed to redo it. This was one of the first things I’d ever written for tumblr so it has a huge amount of space in my head and heart (and my jakey I love Jake, I always have always will !! That’s my dj dicku) and I got so annoyed with myself for not writing how I wanted too so now that I’ve let it live a bit I’ve decided to tackle it again. ALSO I ALWAYS KNEW HOW IT'S GONNA END, so I’m not changing the story, just making it better ! !! !

Taehyuns tips have been working, for the most part; moreover, the last one because y/n hasn't been able to think all day. They've been busy since the park opened at 10am. Well, busy enough that y/n also has time to look around the window and spot Kai and Jake handing out mini fishing poles to kids, in their stupid yellow polos that Jake somehow managed to make hot, so hot in fact that it was burning her eyes. The glare from the sun reminded y/n that she hadn't gone on her break yet.
"Do you think you can handle the beast all by yourself?" she asked, looking over to Lily, who was leaning against the desk. "Cause I'm gonna go on my break." y/n was about to poke her until she waved her hand in front of y/n's face.
"Go be free enough for the both of us!" Lily dramatically threw her head back before looking back out the window to remember that there was no line, no one wanted anything from her, and she would be okay.
Taking her time to walk to the staff lounge, y/n let the cool wind flow through her damp hair, causing a chill down her spine. She passes by Beongyu's booth, who had his hands full of crying children screaming over a stuffed octopus. y/n finally reached her destination and found she's alone in the neon green room. Going to the back she pulls out one of the chairs from the table, putting her headphones on when someone rushes through the door, making y/n stare up through her lashes. She sees Jake, who's staring back at her.
"y/n right?" he said as the door behind him closed shut.

i would like to add the experience of seeing a child cry because they can’t eat a plastic fish was in fact real. it happened to me like the second day at my first ever job!!!!!!! i had to hold in my laugh for so long, bc that family kept COMING BACK
also it’s crazy that when i was writing this story originally i was actually working at an amusement park/ fair and daydreaming was the only way to help me survive it.

Running down the stairs, y/n was surprised that she didn’t trip over herself. Grabbing the first pair of sneakers she could find, bending down to slip them on, y/n got lost in her own thoughts as she tied her laces. Should I wear a tank top instead? Thinking of how hot she’s getting now, just thinking about the summer. Which she looked forward to, no matter how much her friends tried to scare her away from the ticket booth, it couldn’t be that bad, could it? Maybe Taehyun was right about forgetting where you are because she’s too excited about the fact that she’ll get to work with her friends the whole summer that she even forgot about why she’ll be there, too busy caught in the thought of a cute aussie boy working the same booth as beomgyu and Kai maybe she’ll talk to him this summer, or maybe he’ll come up to her and confess his secret desire for her. That made y/n laugh at herself, knowing that would never happen. The sound of someone holding down their car horn made y/n come back to reality, knowing exactly who it was, she didn’t hurry to grab her things to head out.
“Are you going deaf or something? I’ve been blasting the horn for a solid 5 minutes!” Beomgyu said, leaving out the passenger side window. Y/n saw from where she stood that he wore a thick, baggy t-shirt.
“Are you an idiot? Did you not read the forecast today? You're going to die of sweat.” Y/n said using her and motioned at Beomgyu to move so she could sit in the front seat, ‘y/n’s spot’ read a little sticker on the passenger side airbag. Ever since Beomgyu got a car in high school, he’s always driven both her and Lily to and from school every single day. Not much has changed except maybe that he’s grown a little taller.
“No, I actually used my genie to transfer all my sweat to you !” Rebuckling his belt, Beomgyu gave y/n a mischievous smile, looking at Lily sitting in the back seat through the mirror, making fake gagging sounds.
“Disgusting!” Lily said, rolling down her window as she stared daggers at Beomgyu. “Nasty.” She murmured.
"So, do you know where they trapped you, or is it a surprise?" y/n asked Beomgyu as he began to drive. It wasn't gonna be a long drive to the amusement park, but it was long enough to get her nerves buzzing.
"No, I'm back in the fishing game again, same with Kai, and your boyfriend!" Beomgyu said, turning to look at y/n when they stopped at a red light, making his voice go up a couple of octaves as he said that last part. "Maybe this could be the summer you finally speak to him!" he added, poking her in the side.
"Stop it!" y/n's eyes flickered from Beomgyu to Lily in the back seat. "And I'll let it be known for the record that I have spoken to him," y/n said, turning away from both of her friends to stare at the window as she saw the large Ferris wheel come into view.
"Saying excuse me after he pumped into you doesn't count!" Lily sat up in her seat.
"Oh, it so does!" y/n responded. As Beomgyu pulled into the overrun parking lot.
Orientation lasted an hour and a half, but to y/n it felt like 5 minutes, yeonjun and soobin took there group on a tour around the park grounds showing them where all the extra plush prizes are, or for y/n all the extra ride and game tickets are, taking down a mental note of how its one of the few air conditioned places that would most likely be empty on a normal day. However, trying to keep track of things was getting a little difficult, considering the 5'9 boy standing about six feet away from her was clouding up her mind. Jake was wearing a basic pair of jeans and a white t-shirt, and y/n never wished for it to rain more than she did right now.
"So this is it, huh?" Lily spoke, looking at the little shack that read TICKETS, making y/n remember what the future has in store for her.
"It's." She paused, "Exactly what I thought it would look like." y/n finished, making Beomgyu and a couple of the other boys in the group laugh.
"Hey, you should be nice, we got this brand new booth just for the two of you!" Yeonjun said, leaning against the bright white shack.
"Ah, so you're saying this one hasn't claimed any souls yet?" Lily said, folding her arms over her chest. Yeonjun shakes his head in disappointment as he mutters something to himself before he opens the booth's door to let the girls in.
"So we' re fresh meat," y/n replied, being the first sacrifice of the ricket booth. It was cute for about five seconds, and then she started to remember how tiny it really was. It had a small cash box, a card reader, and probably thousands of rolls of tickets waiting to be ripped. "Do you think they'll drag me back here if I start running?" She turned in her stool to meet Lily's eyes.
"They won't, but I will," Lily said, giving y/n a smile that showed too many teeth.
"Also forgot to tell you about the microphones, there are two," Yeonjun said, peeking his head back into the booth, pointing at two little red and white buttons. "One is in the booth, and the other is outside. You can turn the inside one on and off, but it's better to leave the outside one on at all times!" Before either of them could ask any questions, Yeonjun walked away and was replaced by a pink-cheeked Yunjin.
"Soobin said we could leave, so do you guys wanna go grab lunch? Oh my god, how is it already boiling in here!" Yunjin said, entering the booth before quickly leaving as fast as she came in.
"Oh my god, finally, I'm starving!" Lily said, clawing her way out of her seat.
The three of them caught up to Beomgyu and Soobin, who had decided to join them, instead of staying back to do work with Yeonjun. Looking around, y/n noticed something was off,
"Hey wheres heuning kai?" She looked at Beomgyu, who rolled his eyes in response, before getting in the car.
"I'll push you out of the car if you bring him up again," Beomgyu said in a low voice as the rest of them got situated in their seats.
"Beomgyu, what did we establish? You can't threaten our friends when we're behind the wheel." Yunjin said using a motherly tone.
"When have we ever established that?" turning around in his seat to playfully yell at Yunjin.
synopsis: when y/n and her friends all end up working at the same amusement park for the summer again, she didn't expect her long-time crush, Jake Sim, to ask her to pretend to be his girlfriend, because his ex had planned to make her way back into his life, and his eyes just so happened to land on the girl in the ticketing booth.
non-idol!au, smau, summer romance, fake dating, friends to lovers, fluff, angst, mentions of past relationships, horrible ex’s, stubbornness, suggestive? (like in the last parts ) imagine a badly written shoujo anime with a beach episode because that's what I'm trying to go for.

Jake: is insanely good at everything he tries, has a passion for photography, and loves his dog, Layla, more than anything else. is working with Beomgyu and kai at the game booth for a second year in a row.
heeseung: has decided to finally work at the park just so he can see his friends. will laugh at jay any chance he gets. works at the game booth across the way from jake
jay: all the guys go to him for advice, for some reason. likes to cook for the group. has managed to become a security guard for the park grounds.
sunghoon: kind, quiet, likes spending his time alone or with the rest of the 02z while he stares off into space. He didn't apply for the job, but he was put with Jay and is now a security guard.
jungwon: knows everyone, everyone knows him. The mastermind behind the scenes, is working with Sunoo and Yunjin at the concession stand
sunoo: the social butterfly, knows everyone's deep, dark secrets that they haven't told him, second year working the concession stand selling popcorn and little sugar donuts
ni-ki: the only one not working anywhere, he just loves to spend his time, money, and energy tormenting his friends!
bone marrow babies and yeonjun, who is technically everyone's supervisor so hes not in either groupchat, just there
prev - next
y/n: holds the group together with both of her hands tightly. loves all of them equally, despite not always showing it! has been assigned to work the ticket booth for the whole summer, has had a little itty bitty crush on Sim Jaeyun, she has never spoken a single word to him..
lily: childhood best friends with y/n, loves bugging/threatening her friends (out of love, I promise!), is working with y/n in the ticket booth. very musically inclined and is very vocal about it.
yunjin: the "mom" of the group, is the kindest person alive, and has the best sense of humor in the group. She and y/n have a vow that if both are single by the age of 30, they will marry each other. Has been assigned to work the concession stand.
beomgyu: who threw an oreo cookie at y/n in their 7th science class, and they've been friends ever since. will always be a part of an online fight (never wins btw). This is his fourth summer working at the "HYBES FUN-TIME!" games booth. He is tired.
huening kai: No one really remembers how he became friends with everyone. He just kinda showed up one day and hasn't left. One of the most sensible ones in the group and will do anything for strawberry mochi. Lily and he have Guitar Hero competitions. is working with beomgyu at the games booth.
taehyun: The ghost of the group chat, is the only lucky one because he's going on vacation instead of working the ticket booth again. is both the angel and devil on your shoulder, but we love him!
Soobin: the oldest of the group, and is not proud of it, think cerified babysitter. Is apart of the group because of beomgyu and the girls won't let him leave. First year supervisor over the game booths this summer.
Yeonjun: the actual oldest out of everyone. is the only one qualified to give advice on any occasion. In his third year working as the supervisor, he doesn't get paid enough to deal with all their bullshit.
Reiterating my ai post, please do not interact with my blog if you utilize it. I’m sick of watching tumblr go to shit because of it. It’s gotten to a point where multiple of my mutuals and friends alike have threatened to quit tumblr, this is more serious than people are taking it!!
Specifically, I would like to point out one author that I’m disappointed to have learned might use ai.
BEFORE YOU READ : This is not made with ill intent at all, I simply don’t want to see this fandom fall to ai and have a sliver of hope that people can change for the better. This is only a suspicion, and I am aware of how serious of an accusation this is, but I am not the only one who sees it!!
User @/haeonniie posted a fic recently that contained a line that was unmistakably ai, and an anon rightfully called it out ( see it here ) :
The first thought that came to my head was: why would they do that? Yes, to test if people would read their fics, but why be known for ai usage if you agree that it’s harmful? This was the first red flag for me and my friend @taestulipss, (who has been a major help in this situation!!).
We both start off by sending an anon, very politely asking for the screenshots they offered. We were met with no reply, even though they were replying to other anons actively!
Rosy and I accepted we were going to be ignored, so instead we resorted to reblogging her post and asking her for the screenshot publicly, only hoping our suspicions would be squashed. We were still ignored.
Then their response came out, and it only made our eyebrows raise more.
You can absolutely get time stamps on instagram without having to scroll up to the beginning of a conversation, since there is a feature where you can swipe to the side and it displays the time a message was sent.
That alone makes their post seem off right off the bat. The screenshot they provided doesn’t seem authentic either, the conversation feels forced almost.
The conversation is abrupt, and that’s not something you come up with on the spot either. If you both brainstormed this previously, why not provide that screenshot instead? 
We decided to leave the issue alone, albeit being suspicious still. They had proof and a well written apology, but then we were sent screenshots from @coriihanniee that makes their whole post seem like a complete lie.
They outright stated they’ve used ai before to format a post, REALLY WEIRD! If you need to use ai to frame a masterlist what’s to say you don’t utilize it for your other content such as the fic itself too? With everything adding up, it doesn’t look good for their case.
This is only a suspicion, but it’s starting to seem like the truth every time something new comes out. Please be aware of the dangers of ai and educate yourself before engaging with it. It’s destroying our environment, taking jobs and crushing creative motivation for artists and writers alike.
I’m going to stress again that this call out post is in no way to send hate or negativity towards the author, nobody should be sending death threats AT ALL, that is completely unacceptable. This post is for awareness and that’s it.
If you guys have anything you want to add or talk about feel free to send me an ask or message me privately. I don’t expect hate for this post but I encourage everyone reading to have an open mind and understand my point.
