“Come on y/n, we’re going to the love tunnel!” Your best friend exclaimed.
Amazing. You didn’t even know how you got here, third-wheeling your best friend on a date. You were supposed to hang out alone, just the two of you, but this guy from college your friend coincidentally had a crush on suddenly ran into you and asked if he could spend the day with her. So there you were, tagging along on the rides as to not waste your fair ticket. However, the love tunnel was the one attraction you were not planning on riding.
“No way. I’m not going in there alone while you guys make out on the boat behind me. Nope.” You told your best friend.
“Come on, y/n,” she then got closer to you and whispered, “I need the moral support. Who knows if I fuck up and he hates me? I’d feel better knowing you’re there with me, even if it’s on another boat.” She pleaded.
Ugh, she pulled out the puppy eyes. “Okay, but you owe me.” You resigned.
“Yay!” She exclaimed. “And who knows, maybe you get paired up with a hottie.” She elbowed you suggestively.
“People don’t go in there alone, so it’s probably only going to be me.” You rolled your eyes.
The three of you headed towards the attraction, getting in line. It wasn’t too long, so after a few minutes you were getting on a boat, right behind your friend and her date.
Right when you thought you were going to ride this thing alone, someone got into the boat with you. You turned your head towards them and were met with a guy around your age.
Said guy was really attractive, you might add.
“Hey, I’m Woojin.” He introduced himself with a smile.
“I’m y/n,” you said. “You’re here alone? I thought I’d be the only one.” You laughed.
“I was tricked into third-wheeling my best friends, but they said they’d buy me dinner if I went into the love tunnel, so here I am.”
“I’m third-wheeling too, but I’m probably not going to get any free dinner out of this.”
He laughed. “You should if your couple is as clingy as them.” Woojin said, pointing behind him.
You both turned around to look at Woojin’s friends, but they were kissing so you looked away immediately.
“I can see that.” You chuckled.
You both stayed in silence for a few seconds, until Woojin spoke.
“We still have around a minute until the ride ends, I suggest as we’re both sad third-wheelers we take this chance and get to know each other.”
“Who said I was a sad third-wheeler?” You inquired playfully.
“I don’t know about you, but going out with Jisung and Minho is sad when you’re single. They’re super cute together, and that makes me a sad third-wheeler.” He pouted.
After a second of admiring his pouting face, you spoke. “I didn’t even know this guy would show up today,” you pointed to your friend and her date, “I was just hoping to have a good day at the fair.”
“Hey, being alone doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. Did you get on more rides? Try the food?”
“We’ve gotten on other rides but haven’t had a chance to eat yet. Now that you mention it, I’m actually starving.”
He seemed thoughtful for a moment. “Well, how about we ditch the couples and spend the rest of the evening together? Our first stop can be the food truck.”
You pondered your options. Woojin didn’t seem like he was a serial killer, so how bad would it be to hang out with him? If anything happened, your best friend was in the same fair, so you could ditch any second. Besides, spending some time away from the couple did sound tempting.
“That sounds like a good plan.”
Woojin smiled and right in that moment the ride came to an end. You both got out of the boat and headed towards the exit, when you saw your friend looking at you.
You turned towards Woojin. “Let me tell my friend we’re hanging out real quick and we can go eat.”
“Okay, I’ll do the same.” He said, turning towards his friends.
You approached your best friend and saw she was holding hands with the guy, so apparently she made some progress.
“Hey,” you started saying, “I met this guy called Woojin and he seems really nice, so I’m going to spend the rest of the evening with him…”
Your friend gave you a look of “you’re leaving me alone with my crush what are you doing I’m scared”, and you gave her one back that said “you did this to me first now let me hang out with the cute guy, you owe me”
Your friend sighed. “Okay, text me so we can leave together at the end of the day.”
You nodded and watched them walk away. You then turned around to see Woojin still speaking with his friends, so you took the chance to take a good look at him. He was tall, broad-shouldered, had dark hair, and his eyes crinkled as he laughed at something his friend said, needless to say it was adorable.
The next second he was coming over, and you had to pretend you weren’t staring at him.
“Shall we go eat?” He said while smiling.
You smiled back. “Let’s go”

So, apparently Woojin was the funniest, nicest guy you’ve met.
You bought yourselves lunch and got to know each other while you ate. You found out he was a year older than you, was a music major and practiced kendo when he was younger, plus he had 8 loud best friends he seemed to love very much. You also talked about random stuff; he had this ability to make any subject sound interesting.
Once you finished eating you were deciding to what attraction you should head first.
“I would ride the rollercoaster but we just ate, and throwing up isn’t in my plans right now.” You said.
“Well said. How about we go to the Ferris wheel? I think it’s pretty calm.” Woojin suggested.
And that’s how you headed towards the tall attraction, both of you chatting incessantly. Then you realized you were going to be in a very small space high above the ground with this man you’re probably developing an attraction for, and got a bit nervous.
Woojin noticed your hesitance. “Are you scared of heights?”
If only he knew what you were nervous about.
“No, it’s nothing.”
Yes, very convincing y/n, you thought.
“That’s good, because we’re next.” Woojin said, as you guys were guided into one of the Ferris wheel’s carts. Thankfully for you they weren’t that small, so you both were barely touching each other.
The ride started moving and you went up. Usually you weren’t a fan of the Ferris wheel because you found it boring, but with Woojin by your side an awkward silence didn’t exist.

They say time flies when you’re having fun.
You were able to confirm that statement this day, as you didn’t even notice when the sky turned darker with how much fun you were having with Woojin. You went on all the rides and tried more food, and you further confirmed your growing attraction to him.
Suddenly, it was basically time for you to leave.
“I think we have time for one more attraction, what do you want to do?” You asked Woojin.
You were walking along the game stands, those where you could play and win a prize.
“How about we try one of those? That one where you have to shoot a target with water looks pretty fun.” Woojin answered.
“Yeah, why not?”
You paid for a chance to play and got into position. You were really focused on shooting the targets, but your points weren’t enough for a prize. You put the water gun down and looked at Woojin to see how he did, right when the host exclaimed.
“You win! Pick your prize, young man.”
Woojin turned towards you. “Pick, y/n.” He said with a smile.
You felt yourself blushing a little. You looked at the options, and a cute dolphin plushie caught your eye.
“The dolphin one, please.”
The worker picked up the plushie from the display and gave it to Woojin, who immediately gave it to you with a smile.
“Thank you, Woojin.” You said, returning the smile.
Right in that moment you got a text from your best friend.
are you done? I’m waiting in the car
“Apparently I have to go.” You told Woojin, pouting a little.
You really didn’t want this day to end, but it was late and you had to go home.
“It’s okay, I probably have to go find my friends too.” He said.
You both fell into a somewhat awkward silence, none of you wanting to say goodbye nor knowing how to. Then, Woojin spoke.
“Maybe I should have your number, who knows if I’ll have to third wheel again in the future and need someone to keep me company…”
You smiled. “Give me your phone.”
You entered your phone number into his contacts and gave the device back to him.
“It was very nice to meet you, Woojin.”
“You too, y/n.”
“Text me, okay?”
“Okay.”
And with the vision of Woojin’s smile and his crinkly eyes, you walked towards your friend’s car.
