“Where are we going?” she said as he dragged her towards his car.

“You’ll see!” he said.

He drove around for an hour until a huge rollercoaster came to view. She looked out of the window, excited for the day ahead. “Why did you bring me here?” she said as she turned to Jong Kook excitedly.

“I thought you would like it” he said. They waited patiently as there was a long line of cars waiting to get in.

“Oppa! Pali!” she said as he walked slowly to her. She stood impatiently at the booth until she couldn’t stand it anymore. She ran up to him and hooked her arms around his and dragged him towards the booth.
