Author's POV

...

Totally forgetting about the whole thing back in the restaurant and your parents who are still probably in meeting with the Chinese couple or might be worriedly looking for you right now because the pervert Gibson was found out lying unconscious with a black eye that was given by no other than Namjoon, your giggles of excitement wouldn't stop after he removed his hands that was covering your eyes, surprising you with the beautiful night view of the Everland that reminds you of the first time your parents brought you here when you're just a ten years old little girl, the second time was with Aira and now...with him.

It's been a long time since you last spent a time to yourself. You're too focused on your study that you forgot this thing exist and have some fun.

"Waah--really?!" you gasp turning around, jumping up and down couldn't hold the excitement in you anymore and you were met by his crescent moon shaped eyes as he smile widely that his lips almost reached his ears seeing your reaction. He mentally pat his self for thinking a brilliant idea to bring you here.

You like this place, obviously.

"I told you, I'll take you to somewhere fun." he says holding your hand as he takes you to the entrance with a proud bear smile on his face while you let him guide you, starting to get used to him holding your hand, you like the warm of his hand though. Your eyes looked around at the people, the different booths, and the rides that you want to try again.

"Joonie, I wanna try those!" you call him, gently nudging his arm as you pointed at the different rides you see like a kid and he couldn't help himself not to chuckle at your cuteness and also flushed at the nickname 'Joonie' that you failed to notice because your attention was on the rides.

"Hey, relax babe..okay?" he tells you, eyes softly looking on yours with an appreciating sparks in them that made you felt lost for a moment before he broke the eye contact and scan the place. "Why not grab some snacks first, what do you think?" he asks eyes on you again and you agreed since you didn't eat that much at the restaurant.

Restaurant

Shoot! Right, the restaurant! It finally came into your mind, remembering that your parents are still there and they might be looking for you at this time. You should tell them your whereabouts now. You thought fishing out your phone and sent a message to your mother about your location. You felt relief when you immediately received a reply from her.

"It's alright dear, I understand. I'll handle this with your Appa. Love you."

You silently read, smiling before you put it back inside your purse, feeling thankful that she didn't ask why you're there.

After buying some churro, you and Namjoon simply eats it on your way.

"So, which one do you want to try?" he asks chewing on his churro and you looked at the rides with questioning face thinking if which one you should ride on first but then you suddenly think that it's too early for you to ride on those. The excitement might end soon and you don't want that. So choosing the challenging one, you wonder if Namjoon could handle it or not even though you have witnessed how he freaked out last night when you pulled a prank on him.

"I changed my mind."

"What?" his head snapped towards you "But you said you wanna try those." he says through his full mouth eyeing you with those innocent dragon eyes and slight frown decorating his face due to confusion. Who would have thought that a bad ass guy like him would also look so innocent like this? Cute. You thought.

Getting to know him day by day, seeing more of this soft side of him, you didn't regret that you gave him the chance of being friends.  Unknowingly, a smile crept up to your lips again as you secretly admire his face. "Yes but I wanna try something before that." you tell him.

"what is it?"

"Hmm, let's see..." you trailed off looking around to spot a challenging one and then your eyes landed on the Horror Booth before it goes back to Namjoon who's following your gaze. The innocent was no longer on his face and was replaced by a frightened one, it's funny how his face became pale in an instant like those anime you have watched.

Shaking his head, "There's no way i'm going inside that booth." he firmly stated and you raised an eyebrow towards him in a challenging way with a slight mischievous smirk on your lips.

"What? You're scared?" you asks trying your best to hold your giggles but some of them still slipped and this caused him to huff in disbelief, muttering 'Jinja?' under his breathe. He wasn't expecting you to act like this. He hates scary things but since he likes challenges and you're the one who proposed it he will accept it and never let you win so you could use it to tease him.

Taking the last bite of his churro while you still have half churro left, he manly straighten up himself "Look who's talking. But since your up for a challenge, I'll accept it. Let's see who will win." he says, smirking at the last sentence, taking you aback a little bit.

Of course he will accept that. He's Kim Namjoon, a guy who would never refuse a challenge and you gulp thinking why would you forgot about that when that's the reason why the two of you have met.

"Good! Let's go then." you say heading to the horror booth with him but before you could buy your tickets, Namjoon stops you from behind.

"Y/N wait." he calls you and you turn your head to your side as he's standing on your left. He seems worried on something, causing you to feel something stir inside your stomach.

"What?" you simply asks and he leans closer to your ear.

"This your first time to enter a horror booth, right?" he asks waiting for your confirmation and you nod at him. Your answer caused him to cover his mouth as he silently gasp dramatically, not wanting to get the attention of the people who are also in the line, waiting for there turn. You  are really serious about this. "But it's dark inside." he tells you, reminding you about your phobia but you just roll your eyes away.

"They still have lights inside, Namjoon. It's just dim." you say, fastly munching on your half churro like a little hamster. You don't want to eat the remaining inside, you might choke if someone creepy will pop out in front your eyes.

Namjoon open his mouth to say something but before he could do it, you shoved the last bite of your churro into his mouth seeing that it's now your turn to get inside, "Ssshh...it's our turn now." you hushed him as you pull him along with you and he could only respond you with his muffled words that you didn't understand because of the churro in his mouth. "Woohoo~ this is going to be fun!" you happily chirped as you link your arms with his.

Yes, you know what it looks like inside thanks to Aira who couldn't stop talking about how fun it was inside the horror booth that night when she had her 3rd date with her ex. It's dark and creepy but you really do want to try overcome your fear and besides, you're not that scared because you have Namjoon with you.

You know he wouldn't leave you.

...

(15 minutes later...)

"I can't believe you just did that." you almost yell, glaring at him as you walk out of the horror booth with a huff. Feeling disappointed at him for ruining your excitement there inside.

"Yah, wait for me!" he call out, getting himself squeezed in the crowd as he follows you. He managed to catch up on you and stood in front of you with his arms up widespread, blocking your way. You looked up to him with a pout.

"Move." you demand but he just stood there, not even moving a single muscle.

"I will, only if you stop being mad at me."

"And you expect me to do that huh 'Mr Mood Breaker'?"

"You can't blame me, that freaking clown just jumped on me out of nowhere." he defends himself, crossing his arms on his chest, making his coat fit more to his biceps and if you're not too pissed off at him you'll surely going to notice those muscle of him.

"Yeah and you being a scaredy-cat baby like that the security guard kicked us out of that booth because you punched that clown." you retorted, you were expecting you'll get to see more what's inside of the horror booth, you wanted to explore, but your excitement only lasted 15 minutes because of the commotion he made inside. It's embarrassing. But Namjoon doesn't care about it.

"Hey, i'm not the only one who got freaked out there." he points out and you're almost taken aback by that. It's true, he has a point though. You did chickened out too when that clown appeared. But hey, at least you didn't punch that poor guy who's just doing his job. Unlike him.

You looked away as you awkwardly cleared a throat, "At least I didn't punch him." you muttered under your breathe but it's still audible for him and he couldn't help not to snicker at your attempt to talk back.

Why are you both having a childish fight like this when you're both cowards in horror thing anyway?

His snicker caught back your attention and knitted your eyebrows together due to confusion, thinking why the hell is laughing at you.

"Hey," you were just about to ask him when he burst out his laughter, pissing you off more and he amusingly claps three times before clutching his stomach. "What the--Yah!" you yell, feeling on the verge to throw off your high heels on him.

wiping his tears of joy, "Okay okay, let's stop this shit. Let's go." he wave off his hands before placing it on your shoulders, turning you around as he gently push you to somewhere before you could open your mouth to bark at him. "we're both cowards in horror shit anyway." he added which you mentally agreed. You both lost in your deal.

"Whatever," you groan "where are we heading off to now?" you asks shivering a little as the night gets colder.

"Over there." he says, smiling as he pointed at the Ferris Wheel causing you to drop your jaw in disbelief before scrunching your face in disgust. Of course, of all the rides in the amusement park this one is much popular to the people. They found it romantic, but you're not a fan of it.

You being an anti-romantic girl, you shook your head "No, i'm not going to ride that. It's too boring for me." you stated raising your arms in front of him, creating an 'X' sign to show how you strongly disagree and his smile drops at that.

"Jinja? You'll get to see the beautiful night view of the city up there. How could you say it's boring?" He whines and you became speechless for a moment, surprised by him whining like that. His face shows how he really wanted to ride that Ferris Wheel. "It's not fair, you made me go inside that horror booth with you." he added and you sighed, rolling your eyes away before throwing up your hands in the air in defeat.

"Ugh, fine. I'm sorry for being bitter." you say tugging the sleeve of his coat towards the Ferris Wheel's direction and his smile came back to life on his face.

"Really?" he hang his arm around your shoulder almost knocking you down to the ground with his heavy weight, causing you to let out
a surprised squeak and glare at him. "I know you can't resist me." he playfully winks at you.

He wink at you.

"Shut up." you say through gritted teeth as you ignore his wink and kept walking to the Ferris Wheel with his arm still comfortably draped on your shoulder. Such a teaser. You thought.

"Come on, just admit it." he keep on teasing you and you don't know why but you couldn't help not to giggle at it and felt your cheeks heating up. Why are you feeling this way? Do you really can't resist him? this is wrong. You mentally told to yourself and forced yourself not to even smile at that words.

"Stop it." you say and he nods at you with a look that says like 'Okay, I'll stop. But it's true anyway.'

Finally, he let you breath.

After getting into a long queue, you and Namjoon finally get on your ride. You sit right next to each other, both having the nervous yet excited faces. You don't like this kind of ride but seeing Namjoon's excited face washed away that thought and made you felt excited too. The moment the door closed you saw how his face lits up more and his eyes sparks as the Ferris Wheel starts to move up, making the view of the park slowly getting farther and smaller in your eyes. Letting you see the beautiful night view of the city just like what Namjoon have told you.

Now you know why the people likes it to be in the Ferris Wheel. As the carriage lifts up more, the excitement in you increases as you take in the beautiful sight in front of your eyes. You felt happy and relax. The ride was quiet but you both didn't found it awkward.

"wow.." Namjoon's voice finally broke the silence and gets your attention. You looked on his way, he's admiring the view so much. "Beautiful.." he mumbles.

you chuckled a bit, "You act like this is your first time." you say and he looks at you, eyes locking on yours.

"Well," he nibbles on his bottom lip, "You're right. This is my first time." he says, surprising you.

"What? Seriously?"

"Yeah, seriously." he confirmed with a serious face and you narrow your eyes at him suspiciously through your new spectacle that he gave you. You're not convinced at his answer. How come this is first time? He must be kidding you.

"You gotta be kidding me." you voiced out your thought and when his face didn't change from being serious, you gasp "No way."

"Yes way." he nods at you, lips forming into a smile again.

"Oh. Now I know why you whined like a baby down there." you chuckled leaning your back more to the seat as you tease him about his reaction down there when you tried to refuse to ride the Ferris Wheel with him. Instead of getting offended by your words, he laughs along with you. It's a good thing that you two are starting to get comfortable and used to teasing  and annoying each other.

"Come on. Who wouldn't do that? This ride shouldn't be missed if you'll come here at the amusement park. Aside from being romantic, this ride will give you a peace of mind and relief your stress." he tells you like it's something you shouldn't miss in life.

"Yeah, you're right. I agree with that now." you say, nodding understandingly as you hug yourself, feeling yourself getting more colder and Namjoon noticed it.

Not wasting any second, he remove off his coat causing you to inhale sharply, mentally in panic seeing his movement. "What are you doing?" you asks after gulping the sudden lump in your throat, eyes noticing the prominent bulge of his biceps underneath that white thin fabric. You immediately averted your gaze to his face before he could notice you checking him out. Oh my god Y/N, don't do that again, he's your friend. You mentally slapped yourself. You felt like you're the pervert one here now.

Oh no. Not going to happen.

"Warming you up." he shortly answered, draping it on your shoulder, taking you aback again and you shook your head trying to remove his coat on you but he insisted, putting it back on you

"I'm fine, you should wear this again. You'll get cold." you lied and you're pretty sure that he's not convinced with that just by the look of his face.

"I'm fine my ass. Liar. You're shivering." he muttered under his breathe "I'm the guy here. I should be the one taking care of you." he added and your face twisted into a confused one. Now that sounds awkward. What does he mean with his last sentence? you thought and his eyes widen in realization. That was unintentional, he mentally punched himself for being careless on voicing out his thoughts.

"Okay..." you trailed off your word, thinking of an idea to avoid the awkwardness that's slowly filling up the carriage and your eyes landed on the cuts on his lips again, reminding you about the scene he made there at the restaurant with Gibson. You just realized, Namjoon have seen you on your worse state many times and know some things about you, but you, you only know few things about him. You don't have an idea what his life with his family looks like. Curiosity gets you, "Your lips--I mean how did you get that cut on your lips?" you pointed on it "it's fine if you don't want to talk about it." you added just in case he's not comfortable sharing it with you.

"It's fine." he give you an assuring smile "Well, my dad punched me." he calmly tells you as if it's a normal thing to happen between a father and a son and your mouth hang open in surprised. How could his father do that to him? You remember that his father forbids him on being friends with an ordinary girl. Could it be his father found out about your friendship with him?

"Why?" you asks turning your body to fully face him with curiosity decorating your face.

His eyebrow raised up, lips curving up into an amused grin, "You really want to know why?" he asks in a low tone, letting you hear his deep voice.

"Yes." you replied, ignoring the butterfly effect in your stomach that was caused by his voice. Not to mention the spark in his eyes while looking at you with a soft gaze which is totally opposite from those eyes you saw when you first met him.

"I see my friend Y/N is interested to know about my life now huh." he joked and you nudge his arm with yours.

"Come on, you've seen me in my worse state and almost know everything about me. We're friends now, so I guess I should know some things about you too." you say hoping he would share it to you. "I won't judge." you added, wrapping his coat more on your small figure to warm yourself more. You did like its warm giving you. Not going to mention his  perfume lingering on it. You wait for him to speak.

He eyes your every movement and noticed that you seem to like his coat on you. He bit back a smile, "You have a point." he say straightening up himself "My dad punched me for rejecting a marriage proposal." he simply explained and you don't know why you felt a bit pang of jealousy at the word 'marriage proposal', thinking that maybe your emotion is just playing at you, you ignored it.

"Why? you'll get the chance to create your own family and have a little badass junior running around the house." You joked causing his eyes to widen for a few seconds before he laughs at it, he wasn't expecting you to say that. You imagine him carrying a baby on his arms and you thought that he will be a great father in the future as you remember how soft he was on that little boy who accidentally tripped himself at the park.

"Yeah but I don't like her." he says, shaking his head.

"Is she not pretty?"

"She is but..." he suddenly paused.

"but what?" you wait for him to continue.

"She is but..." he repeats, pausing again for a moment before he looked at you "I...I already like someone else." he softly says but you could feel the nervous laced on his voice, hand's reaching out to the strand of your hair that was covering the side part of your face, he tucks it behind your ear and gently caresses the skin under your jaw with his thumb. Your breath stops for a moment as you felt his touch sent a chill down to your spine.

And there is it again, his words made your heart race again.

What does he mean with that? He said he already like someone else. But why does it feel like you're the girl he's referring to? You don't want to assume things but you couldn't help not to think in that way especially when he's giving you that look.
