Wrong Character › Wonwoo ✔

chapter 9

The log boat goes up the first lift hill and then it races down into the water. It was a short drop but wonwoo still let go of both of his hands and screamed as it plunged down. Wonwoo laughed throughout the whole journey until the second drops comes. He starts letting out weird noises and he kept rocking back and forth , mumbling "let's go. Let's go. "

This time, the second drop was longer and much more exciting as the first one as jihyeon had that feeling where her chest was rising as she drops down into the water. And splash . water splashes all over everyone's body and they all go "awww crap. " as they were fully drenched. Unlike those people, wonwoo was yelling excitedly and punching his fists in the air, going "ONE MORE TIME! "

but the rides ends and the riders get off the boat and move onto the next ride.

♕♕♕♕♕♕

Exhausted and sick.

That was what jihyeon was feeling right now.

After the water ride, wonwoo had became more of a daredevil and brought her to the pendulum rides without asking for her permission if they could go on it or if it was fine. After feeling dizzy from being suspended in the air for a minute and rotating in 360° , wonwoo dragged her to her least favorite attraction.

The haunted house.

Most of the time, jihyeon had her eyes closed and arms wrapped around wonwoo's arm as the two walked through the dark. When the scare actors pop out of their hiding spots and scream at their faces, jihyeon screamed out swear words and threatened to hit them. Whereas wonwoo laughed and waved at the scare actors. 

Despite this, jihyeon enjoyed herself. Not because of the rides but because wonwoo was enjoying himself. Her number one priority was to make wonwoo smile and forget all about jihyeon's still recovering leg.

The two only took a few rides but night started to come early and stars and the moon filled the night sky.

"OH OH OH! " wonwoo pointed to the
ride which finally made jihyeon relief about riding it. It was the chair swing ride. A ride which both of them enjoy.

Pulling her to the ride, wonwoo ran around the carousel, hoping to find a two seated seat for the both of them. Once he did, he ran towards it and sat on it before anyone could .

The two wiggled around to make themselves comfortable before pulling down the metal bar which was their 'safety belt. '

The ride wouldn't operate until the ride is full with people. So while they wait, jihyeon and wonwoo swinged their seats back and forth left and right. Laughing together.

The ride was taking quite long to start. It became awkward between the two of them as silence filled their around them. Then, wonwoo broke It.

"Princess." Wonwoo called.

"Mhm? "

"Thank you. You really didn't have to do this. "

"well, I wanted to. " jihyeon shrugged. She started to move the seats back and forth but slower.

"Why? " wonwoo questioned, tilting his head.

"Because i care about you, " jihyeon answered , looking up at the night sky , admiring the sparking stars.
" I knew you were about to ditch out on this because of my leg but I couldn't just say no to you. You were so excited to go and my leg isn't going to stop you from enjoying yourself. So yea. I'm glad you had fun. "

At this moment , wonwoo felt something new. Something he never felt.  his heart started beating unexpectedly fast and his palms got sweaty.

wonwoo bit his lips from smiling and his trembling hands clenched tightly onto the cold metal chains. He felt touched. Touched that despite jihyeon's injury she still followed wonwoo to the carnival so that he could have fun. Touched that she had to endure the pain . touched that she cared for him.

Even if jihyeon wasn't looking at him, Wonwoo looked at jihyeon adoringly.

If wonwoo could describe what's happening to him right now, he would say that his heart had just exploded into fireworks and burned his insides.

Whatever this feeling was, he swore to take care of jihyeon like she was a new born baby. He wanted to provide the same care she gave him today.

"Oh ! Its starting!" Jihyeon exclaims, shaking the chains.

The chairs start to lift the people up and then moved in a clockwise movement, kid folklore songs playing through the speakers.

And throughout the whole ride, wonwoo had his eyes adoringly laid on jihyeon and a smile as he watched her kick her legs and swing her arms like a happy kid.

Was this the feeling that the girls in every romance story got when they laid their eyes on their crush or when they experienced their first kiss with them?

It must be.
