The soft breeze rustled through his hair as Jisung stood in the middle of the entrance of a theme park, pulling a face as he watched a group of kids rush inside. An arm rested over his shoulders, causing him to direct his attention to the person beside him, who was none other than his older brother, Taeyong.
“This is my birthday present?” Jisung voiced out, raising a dubious brow, only to receive a muddled look from the other.
“You don’t like it?” Taeyong asked, gently massaging Jisung’s nape as he scanned the area nostalgically before giving the younger a reassuring look, “All the kids come here to hang out. I used to come here lots of times when I was your age.”
Jisung’s jaw dropped, but not because he was shocked by his brother’s statement, but because he couldn’t believe how out of date he was.
“Only little kids and couples come here,” he whined, shoulders slumped as a couple walked by and gave them weird looks, “I’m fifteen… and single!”
“Will you quit complaining,” Taeyong chided, keeping a firm hold of Jisung’s shoulders as he dragged him inside.
Carnival music danced through their ears and the buttery aroma of popcorn filled the air as they entered the park and arrived at a game booth. Jisung looked around uneasily, wishing he could melt into a puddle as a few toddlers stared at him, their parents scolding them to look away.
“Hey, you wanna try shooting, kiddo?” Taeyong spoke up with a grin adorning his features, holding a water gun in his hand.
“I don’t want to be here,” Jisung mumbled softly, resting his chin on Taeyong’s shoulder with a small pout on his lips. He could feel eyes on his back and wished that he could shrink into a tiny speck of dust.
“Alright, I’ll win you a prize then,” Taeyong said, giving the younger a soft smile and a light ruffle of his hair. He adjusted his stance and pointed the nozzle of the water gun at the moving ducks at the far side of the booth. With a sharp gaze, he sprayed water at one of the smallest ducks, successfully knocking it down. The bell rang, garnering the attention of many around the booth and Jisung could only lower his head, hiding his face behind his hair.
Taeyong smiled as a huge fluffy tiger plush came into his hands before giving Jisung’s arm a gentle nudge of his elbow. Jisung looked up from behind his front bangs, almost stumbling backwards when Taeyong shoved the plush into his arms.
“Chin up, buddy,” he grinned, playfully messing Jisung’s hair.
“You’re embarrassing,” Jisung muttered, giving the elder a dirty look.
“That’s what brothers are for, right?”
Jisung couldn’t hold back a chuckle before giving Taeyong a light-hearted punch on his shoulder, to which the other jokingly winced in pain in response. Just as Taeyong was about to pull on his ear, the sound of giggles was heard coming from a short distance. The two boys turned their heads towards the source of the sound, causing a group of teenage girls to let out a few squeals. Jisung blinked at them, noticing that their eyes were glued on something. He followed their gazes and ended up staring at his brother’s face.
“What?” Taeyong looked at him, a deadpan expression plastered on to his handsome features.
“You should go talk to them.”
“Are you kidding?” he scoffed before grabbing Jisung by the shoulders, again, and turning him around so the two of them had their backs facing the girls, “I’m not gonna ditch my little bro. It’s your special day today.”
Jisung gave him a cute grin as they began to walk off, then spending the rest of his birthday playing games and going on rides with his caring older brother.
