Y/n didn’t usually just agree to hang out with random guys who’d ask her to. She wasn’t easy. Nevertheless, she stood in front of the theme park alongside Choi Minje. The latter was a mutual friend of hers. They both were friends with Kwon Ohyul - whom she’d met in middle school science class - so she assumed he was a good person, like her friend.
The park wasn't small but it wasn't big either. A perfect size to explore in one trip. The warm air mixing with the smell of fresh fast-food meals hit her softly, reminding her that she hadn’t eaten properly yet.
“Follow me, I saw this sick ride earlier that I really wanna try.” Minje spoke with decidedness, not giving the girl beside him a chance to intercept his idea - not that she had to, she didn’t mind letting him take the lead. Minje and y/n walked towards the ride. Not close enough for them to seem like a couple per se, it was more casual. Shortly after, they reached a brightly coloured, metal monster which looked like it was established with the intent to kill. All the colour swiftly drained out of y/n’s face as soon as she watched the current people on the ride drop into what seemed to be what would be her cause of death.
“Woah. That's…big,” her jaw dropped slightly at the sheer size of it. Subconsciously, she inched towards the latter in search of safety, which she had assumed she'd find with him.
“We don't have to go on this one if you don't want to? There's other rides.” Minje was like that. Soft and considerate. However, y/n didn't want to disappoint yet another person by putting herself first.
She shook her head softly and let out a soft: “it's fine”.
The pair stood in the queue. Noises filled the surroundings, a child screaming at their parents for some sort of sweet, birds chirping as they streaked overhead, one man giving his girlfriend small pecks over her face - indifferent to nearby civilians.
“Thank you for taking me with you today,” she muttered softly.
“Don't worry about it. I only do this for cute girls,” Smooth. That was another one of Minje’s qualities. She’d heard a bit about him before. He was known throughout town as one of the “most handsome guys” in the area. Y/n didn't doubt that. Seemingly so when the tips of her ears flushed a soft rose colour. A small smile daring to grow on her face.
The queue moved with haste, and before they knew it, they stood before the ride. Y/n carefully set foot on the platform, worried that a wrong step might kill her.
Minje waited for y/n to sit down first before letting himself in. Gentleman. The ride started. It wasn't as fast as she had assumed it would be but she quickly changed her mind soon after - almost as quickly as the ride accelerated into becoming a speeding cart of demise.
As they reached the peak before the biggest drop, y/n clutched the sleeve of Minje’s black jean jacket. She bit her lips to stifle a scream threatening to come out - she had decided it would be embarrassing to scream with Minje watching after she said she'd be fine - to the point where she could taste the slight flavour of cherry from the lipgloss she applied that morning.
The roller coaster came to a stop. Miraculously, y/n didn't end up fainting.
“That was lit,” Minje beamed. He turned to look at the girl .”Don't you think?”
“Yeah…lit, definitely,” Y/n didn't take her hands off his sleeve, too dizzy to care. Minje however, did care - heat rising up his neck as he noticed what she had been doing.
“Come on, let's get food.”
“The food here is amazing apparently! Let's hit the corndog stalls first,” Kim Woonhak exclaimed passionately while his friends followed close behind his running figure.
“Woonhak, food’s not gonna run away, chill,” Yujin remarked, he was the youngest yet still the most mature.
“It will if you guys dont hurry the fuck u-” his feet halted and his body froze.
“What? Oh," Jihoon and the other's heads turned to follow Woonhak's line of sight. Of course. Y/n. But she wasn't alone, he wouldn't have been so aghast. She was standing by the food stalls. One hand holding a steaming corndog the other clutching someone's sleeve. Minje.
It just had to be Minje. He’d already made Woonhak’s life miserable but clearly the past examples of his bullying in their middle school: beating Woonhak up for stupid reasons, mugging him, making a fool of him for the fun of it, weren't enough for him. He had to go for the girl he liked as well.
“Think twice before speaking to my girlfriend, fucking dickhead.”
“Ya Kim Woonhak, go buy me a new phone, I know you have money . I'll fuck you up worse than last time if you don't.”
The memories came flooding back making the boy short-circuit.
The boys glanced at each other before Han zhen spoke up, “Woonhak? Kim Woonhak. Why aren’t you saying anything?”. Tears formed in his eyes from the slight sense of betrayal and disappointment. He turned around, not sparing anyone a look and walked off into a nearby alley, quiet and out of public sight.
He sent a quick text to his friends letting them know not to wait for him to come back, alerting them that he was heading home because he was supposedly “not feeling well”.
Jihoon, Hanjin, and Yujin knew not to bother finding him - Woonhak wasn’t going to say anything to them regarding this, he never does when he has an issue. Instead they went home too, unwilling to have fun without the boy who’d invited them in the first place.
Now calmed down after recollecting his thoughts, Woonhak took out his phone and swiped onto y/n’s chat - who had now left the theme park and had gone home.
