"It's time to leave, sleepy head."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the pair were in the safety of their bed in the hotel room, Ellie had all the time in the world to think. She was still wide awake from the previous events, while Yoongi was knocked out, lying behind her with a lazy arm draped over the girl's waist.
Ellie's eyebrows furrowed. Why exactly was she in Korea? Was it really just a random trip? Or was there something more behind it? She didn't know. She was also very much confused as to why her Mother hadn't called or texted her throughout the duration of their trip so far. This only boosted the girl's suspicions of this trip being a distraction.
Ellie sighed heavily and looked at Yoongi who looked abnormally distressed in his sleep. Ellie shifted so that she was facing the boy and shook his shoulder lightly. Yoongi woke up, panting and looking around the room.
"What's going on?" His eyes were wide and full of panic. Ellie shushed him and smiled when he looked at her.
"You were having a nightmare," Ellie explained. "Everything's okay, don't worry, I'm right here." Yoongi calmed his ragged breathing and nodded.
"You weren't sleeping, were you?" Yoongi asked, laying back down, pulling the girl with him as she shook her head slowly.
"I was thinking too much." She sighed. Yoongi started to play with the girl's soft hair and sighed, completely content in this position.
"Will you tell me what about?" Yoongi questioned. Ellie bit her lip but nodded. She didn't want to keep anything from the boy.
"Yoongi." She started. "Why are we in Korea? Is it really just a normal trip, or is it a distraction?" Ellie asked, watching Yoongi's expression change from calm to distraught and somewhat uncomfortable.
"Well..." Yoongi paused a little. He didn't want to ruin the surprise. "That's not important. As long as we're together." Yoongi smiled a little nervous. Ellie huffed.
"Don't change the subject." She warned. Yoongi sighed and looked down.
"Babe, look, I can't tell you. This is the biggest surprise yet, okay?" He was hoping that Ellie wasn't as stubborn as he thought she was sometimes. Ellie rolled her eyes playfully but nodded with a small smile.
"Fine. It better be good." She giggled and Yoongi nodded quickly, kissing the girl's face all over. Ellie snuggled closer to the boy's bare chest and closed her eyes.
"Good night, baby," Yoongi whispered, pulling the girl closer still. Ellie hummed.
"'Night." She yawned and dozed off.
Only a few hours later, at exactly seven in the morning, Yoongi woke up from his deep sleep, only to find that Ellie wasn't anywhere next to him. He sighed and quickly got out of bed, making it neatly.
"Oh. Good morning, babe." Ellie smiled, greeting the boy with only a towel wrapped around her body, hair wet and dripping. Yoongi's eyes darkened slightly and he began to stalk towards the girl. Ellie caught on and panicked, running back into the bathroom and closing the bathroom door.
"Ellie~ Let me in!" Yoongi called from the behind the door. Ellie locked the door and quickly got dressed into some random clothes she had managed to grab earlier in the morning and got out. Yoongi growled and pushed the girl back into the bathroom and against the wall as Ellie looked up at the boy with innocent eyes.
Yoongi captured the girl's lips in between his and kissed her deeply. Ellie melted into the boy's touch. Yoongi was the first to pull away as he was in need of oxygen. He panted and stared at the girl, running his hands up and down her waist.
"Don't come out of the bathroom in only a towel. Ever." Yoongi growled as Ellie nodded a little and bit her bottom lip, which was red from the kiss they had shared, and slipped out of the bathroom, telling her boyfriend that he needed to shower.
Yoongi showered pretty quickly and got dressed into the clothes that Ellie had left for him after her own shower. He walked out with a towel around his neck, drying his hair. Ellie was sitting on the bed, on her phone and looking a little nervous.
"You okay?" Yoongi asked as he sat down next to the girl. Ellie looked up and nodded her head with a small reassuring smile. Yoongi sighed and snatched the phone from the girl's grasp and threw it down onto the soft, carpeted floor.
"What the hell, Yoongi!" Ellie panicked as Yoongi rolled his eyes and kissed the girl, melting her worries away.
"No one's going to text you anyway. You don't need your phone today." Yoongi smiled and Ellie narrowed her eyes.
"Leave your phone here, too then," Ellie smirked and Yoongi shook his head.
"I can't. I have some business that I need to know the progress of." Yoongi sighed, trying to word the sentence so that he didn't give anything away about the house or the move.
Ellie huffed in annoyance and rolled her eyes.
"Whatever. Let's just get ready for today." Ellie got up and put a beanie on top of her head to try and hide her still slightly damp hair. Yoongi sighed, grabbed his phone, camera and checked the time. It was half-past seven, which meant they had to leave.
"We need to go now." Yoongi walked downstairs, pulling the slightly surprised girl behind him, small protests emitting from her mouth.
"What about breakfast?" She asked, getting into the car with a heavy sigh. Yoongi smirked and passed her a bag full of McDonald's breakfast. Ellie looked a little confused.
"Eat up. You said you were hungry." Yoongi began to drive as he demanded this from the girl. Ellie pouted.
"I wanted to share with you..." She whispered. "When did you get this anyway?" She asked, opening the bag and looking inside. There was too much food for one person to eat, that was for sure.
"We will share. We get to Lotte World in about five minutes, meaning that we'll have twenty-five minutes to eat together." Yoongi explained. "I got the food really early in the morning and left it in the car to keep it at least a little warm for you." Yoongi smiled. Ellie giggled in happiness at her boyfriend's thoughtfulness and took out the McDonald's Hash Brown and the Cheesy Bacon Flatbread and dug in.
When the car had been parked, Yoongi put both of their seats down and sat facing the girl. He dug into the rather unhealthy breakfast while Ellie complained that her stomach was too full. Yoongi chuckled and ate the remaining food.
At eight in the morning, they had got out of the car and got into Lotte World after Yoongi had shown the security both of their tickets.
"What is this place?" Ellie questioned, intertwining her hand with Yoongi's as to not get lost as a lot of people were already there since it was Sunday.
"It's an amusement park but indoors." Yoongi smiled, pulling the girl into the centre of the first floor and snapped a picture. "You look so cute." He complimented as they slowly began to walk over to the first ride that he had always loved. "Let's go on this one first!" Yoongi said excitedly. Ellie giggled and nodded her head, taking the camera and snapping a picture of the entrance to the first ride.
To Ellie, it looked like a children's ride but she agreed to go on it with Yoongi nevertheless.
Inside, the place was well built and everything was moving. It was interesting to see as Ellie had never been on such an interactive ride in an amusements park before. Ellie simply continued to snap photos in amazement.
All too soon, the ride came to a stop and everyone was ushered out so that others could be let on. Ellie smiled at the whole place. She really liked it already.
"Where to now?" The excited girl asked, a skip in her step as they walked. Yoongi smiled at the girl and shrugged his shoulders.
"Wherever looks interesting to you." He smiled. Ellie nodded and looked around, more carefully this time.
Her eyes skimmed over a dangerous looking ride that was shaped like a Viking's ship. She pointed and began to pull the boy towards it.
"The Conquistador. Alright, then." Yoongi chuckled and followed the girl as she snapped a picture. She couldn't wait to see all these pictures in her new house when she eventually moves in there with the love of her life.
The pair stood in the queue for the ride, patiently awaiting their turn.
Once they were lt on, Ellie slightly regretted her choice. They had gotten the front seats, which went much higher than the ones in the middle. Ellie couldn't even move her body as it was going pretty fast for a ride like this.
"Ellie? You okay?" Yoongi had asked the moment they left the ride as Ellie had doubled over, feeling sick. Ellie straightened up and nodded. She smiled and cracked her back, letting out a sigh of relief at the feeling.
"That ride was a little too intense for me." Ellie smiled and rubbed the back of her neck. Yoongi nodded and took the girl's hand.
"How about a Flume Ride to calm us down?" Yoongi suggested and Ellie nodded, happily following Yoongi who happened to know the way around the place pretty well.
The pair was let on the flume pretty quickly. Before they had to get on, however, Ellie snapped a photo of the flume that was pretty small but perfect for the two.
She got in, with Yoongi behind her and they set off.
Ellie snapped a few more pictures on the ride, trying her hardest not to get any water on the camera and ruin it. She wanted to keep all the photos as memories.
The ride ended with a big splash, soaking almost everyone except Ellie, as she hid pretty well. She smiled at the few photos she got and got off the flume.
"Do you feel better now?" Yoongi asked, taking the camera gently from her hands and leading her over to one of the many restaurants. It was called Tomatillo and it had pretty much any food you could think of, including American, Korean, Chinese and Japanese.
They picked a seat and ordered some food, thankfully the waiters and the waitresses al spoke English.
When Yoongi wasn't looking, Ellie grabbed the camera and took a photo of him, really close up with a somewhat uncomfortable smile on his lips.
Ellie laughed loudly at the photo as Yoongi continued to eat quietly with a small smile on his face. He was happy to have a positive reaction from his beloved girlfriend.
The pair ate for about an hour before paying the bill and leaving the restaurant after thanking everyone there with small bows. It was time to go on more rides and explore more floors after a while.
The next place Yoongi dragged the girl outside and to the 3D Desperados. It wasn't much of a ride, but more of a theatre with moving seats.
Ellie fumbled with the camera and hastily took a photo of the entrance with Yoongi whining.
"Do you really have to take photos of everything?" Yoongi asked as he bowed to the people who gave him two tickets. Ellie sighed and nodded her head, looking through all the photos they had taken so far on their trip.
"They're memories." She smiled fondly at the picture of them kissing. Yoongi sighed and hummed in understanding, pulling the girl inside and making her sit on one of the seats next to his own. Ellie was about to take a picture when Yoongi snatched the camera and turned it off.
"You can't take photos of the place inside." He whispered as the film started and the seats began to move. The film only lasted five minutes.
After the short film had finished, the two went back inside Lotte World's main building and Yoongi handed the camera back to Ellie. Ellie looked around for a while. She felt as though she could never get bored here.
Her eyes looked over to the stairs that were heading up and she turned to the boy who was holding her hand.
"Yoongi? Can we go upstairs?" She asked. Yoongi nodded and they walked up the set of stairs together.
Once on the second floor, Ellie's attention was grabbed by a ride that was doing all sorts of tricks like spinning and stuff.
She was intrigued and she pointed in that direction. Yoongi nodded and they walked over. They waited until they were called to get on.
Ellie giggled as the ride started. She began to scream at the top of her lungs once it started to spin around as Yoongi put his hands up in excitement.
The two were soon let off and Ellie almost fell. She was very dizzy and felt a tiny bit sick.
When she got a little better, after a lot of reassurance from her boyfriend, she looked around and saw nothing else that she would like to ride on the second floor so she pulled Yoongi up another set of stairs.
The two walked around the third floor for a while, trying to calm down their unsettled stomach some more before going on to another ride that was picked by Yoongi this time.
It was called the World Monorail and it was a simple ride that went around the whole inside of Lotte World and most of the outside.
Ellie took a picture of one of the carts they were getting on before stepping in and strapping herself in.
The cart slowly began to move and Ellie looked out of the window. Even inside, the view was amazing. There were so many different colours. She took her camera and snapped even more pictures, both inside and out.
By the time they were let out at the same place they left, the camera's battery was dead, meaning that they couldn't take any more photos. To be fair, that dampened Ellie's spirits a little but not for long when she noticed a museum. She was the kind of girl who liked to check everything out, especially the museums and art galleries.
The two walked in and the two ended up walking around and exchanging some childhood stories and some stories that were well-known in their country.
After about an hour or so passed, they left the museum and walked up the last flight of stairs and onto another ride, called the Aeronauts Balloon Ride. The ride was just as simple and calm as the World Monorail. It was a hot-air balloon which travelled around the whole of the inside of Lotte world.
The pair hastily got on and looked over the edge. It was really pretty. Ellie's eyebrows furrowed in sadness. She wished that she had remembered to charge the camera the night before.
The two talked about their futures and pasts as they flew over the amusement park.
"What do you want to happen in the future?" Yoongi blurted and Ellie blushed a bright shade of pink. Thankfully, Yoongi wasn't looking at her. To tell the truth, she just wanted Yoongi to stay with her and then she'll be happy.
"I want to get married and have a few kids." Ellie shrugged. The answer was pretty vague and cliche but what could Ellie do? She just wanted to get married to Yoongi and have a few small children that resembled Yoongi.
"Me too." Yoongi sighed happily as the balloon came to a stop. "We need to get off. We haven't seen everything though. There's more stuff outside." Yoongi smiled his famous gummy-smile and pulled the girl to the lift on the fourth floor and pressed the button for the last floor.
They got out of the Lotte main building and went outside, where there were even more rides. Ellie looked around and glanced over at a place called Magic Island. She basically ran over to it and walked in, amazed at the rides.
One ride, in particular, had caught her eye. It was called the Atlantis Adventure and it was simply themed on the Lost City of Atlantis.
"Can we go on this?" Ellie asked sweetly and Yoongi couldn't help but coo and nod. Ellie jumped up in happiness and walked up to the non-existent queue and went straight to the double-seater at the back of the cart.
Yoongi sat down next to her and the ride slowly began. It was fairly slow but Ellie didn't mind. She got to look around properly, not noticing that Yoongi was secretly taking pictures for memories.
The ride came to a stop and they left with a slightly tired Yoongi but a wide-awake Ellie who wanted to go the Ghost House next. Yoongi, being the most amazing boyfriend according to Ellie, agreed and they walked in.
Ellie has never been more scared in her entire life. She knew that there were people behind the masks and the large masses of makeup, but the way they acted and the way they jumped out from around corners was just terrifying for Ellie.
This one man in a mask even followed them around which made Ellie squeal and hug Yoongi's right arm tighter and close her eyes. Yoongi couldn't help but chuckle. At least now he knew what kind of movies not to watch with her.
They left the Ghost House pretty soon after that, while Ellie still had her eyes tightly shut. Yoongi rolled his eyes and stopped in his tracks to face the girl. He cupped her cheeks and placed a loving kiss on her lips. She hummed in approval, all her fear and worry falling apart under Yoongi's soft touch.
Once the boy pulled away, Ellie opened her eyes and smiled.
"Is there anywhere else you would like to go before we go to Seoul Grand Park?" Ellie looked around and smirked when she saw a Bungee Drop. She took Yoongi's hand with an innocent smile playing on her lips as she dragged him over there.
"We can go on this." Ellie smiled, pointing at the Bungee Drop. Yoongi nodded a little hesitantly. He wasn't much of a fan of heights, much less something dangerous like this. Ellie smiled and jumped up the steps.
Yoongi took two quick, secret photos and climbed onto one of the seats next to Ellie and sighed as he got strapped in.
Here goes nothing.
When the ride started, Yoongi closed his eyes and only opened them when they were safely on the ground while Ellie was laughing at the poor boy while she imitated his facial expressions. Yoongi huffed and collected the photos that were taken during the ride and stuffed them into his pocket.
The two quickly left Lotte World at one in the afternoon, planning to head over to Seoul Grand Park, as Yoongi had mentioned before.
The pair got into Yoongi's car and he began to drive, putting on some Monsta X music so that Ellie didn't get bored as it was a half-an-hour drive.
By twenty to two in the afternoon, the car was parked at the pair was already in the park.
This one, however, was slightly different. The main difference was that it wasn't really an amusement park as such.
Ellie looked around and sighed. She didn't have anything to take pictures with and Seoul Grand Park has some amazing things that interested Ellie, such as the Rose Garden.
Yoongi smiled at the girl, trying to cheer her up a little by lifting her arms up and wiggling them jokingly. Ellie ended up giggling and kissing the boy's lips.
"I love you." She smiled. Yoongi hummed in approval of this statement and took the girl's hand. Ellie frowned and yanked her hand back harshly. Yoongi looked at her in a questioning manner. Ellie pouted and crossed her arms. "You didn't say it back." Although she looked childish, her tone of voice was serious and slightly hurt.
"I'm sorry, baby. I love you, too. So much." Yoongi smiled and took the girl's hand again. This time, Ellie happily went along with the boy. "Where to first, Princess?" He asked and Ellie hummed in thought before glancing at the Rose Garden again. Yoongi wouldn't want to come with her, would he?
"Uh... Can we go to the Rose Garden?" She asked a little shyly. Yoongi nodded and they walked over to the entrance. Almost everything was for free in Seoul Grand Park, everything except Seoulland, the restaurants and the Science Museum.
They walked in and Ellie closed her eyes, inhaling the smell. Yoongi smiled and took this as a chance to take a picture of the roses and the girl who had her eyes closed and was swaying side to side from happiness.
He snapped the photos and hastily put his phone away into his pocket just as Ellie opened her eyes.
She took the boy's hand gently and they walked around the Rose Garden, looking at all the flowers. The flowers were all in-bloom so they were pretty and there were lots of colours in the Garden.
Ellie leaned up and stroked Yoongi's ash-grey hair that he had died before graduation. It was the softest thing in the world.
Ellie smiled and kissed the boy's lips as Yoongi wrapped his arms around the girl's waist, holding her closer.
Ellie pulled away first but decided to stay in the position for about five minutes. Once they let go of each other, the continued walking around the rose garden for some time before leaving and deciding to go somewhere else.
"Where to now?" Yoongi asked, not really looking around. Ellie sighed.
"You pick." She smiled. Yoongi looked up and glanced at a restaurant.
"How about some food?" He suggested and Ellie nodded eagerly. The restaurant Yoongi picked was called Canadian Lobster. It wasn't as fancy as all the others but it was still good.
They walked in and ordered a mixture of American and Korean food. The food was made and placed in front of them in five minutes and the pair ate silently until Yoongi broke the silence.
"Are you enjoying yourself in Korea?" He asked. He was a little worried that his girlfriend wasn't actually enjoying herself and was just putting on a show. Ellie looked up at Yoongi and smiled as she gulped down the food in her mouth before speaking.
"Of course I am. Yes, I agree, sometimes I'm beyond tired because of the stuff we do but I love it." She smiled. Yoongi let out a sigh of relief and took the girl's hand gently, intertwining their fingers and kissing her fingers, circling her ring finger a little more.
"I feel like this is our first date, for some reason." Yoongi chuckled as he cupped the girl's cheek and just stroked it. Ellie hummed at the soft touch and nodded.
"Me too. But I love it." She giggled. Yoongi smiled brightly and continued to eat.
The two spent the rest of the day in Seoul Grand Park with Yoongi secretly taking pictures and walking around with Ellie, watching her jump around and be enthusiastic despite the time.
The two got to the hotel at nine in the afternoon. Ellie went straight to bed while Yoongi sent all the photos he took and all the previous ones to Ellie's Mother.
(PHONE)
Yoongi: Here are all the photos you need for now. I'll send you more in a few days time.
Soon-To-Be-Mother-In-Law: Okay, Yoongi. Thank you. I'll make sure the Photobook is ready for when you come back.
