Harum Scarum

"Oh my god," Jaehee muttered under her breath, as her eyes landed on a cotton candy stall. "It's cotton candy! I've never had it.. since like.. 2 years ago?" 

I playfully rolled my eyes. "Seriously, where have you been living all your life?" 

"I just realised." Hobi started, as Jaehee went off to buy cotton candy for everyone. He switched gazes from me and Jungkook, then grinned. "Jungkook has a sketchy clothing style. While Yuna..." he stared at me for a while. "You look adorable!" 

"That's what you always say!" Jungkook grinned with his bunny teeth, as he playfully pointed a finger at Hobi. Hobi giggled and made his way over to me, taking out his phone. 

He took a picture of the three of us. "You look way cuter in leggings than in a skirt!" 

"You look cuter with a skirt than pants." Jungkook directed at Hobi. "Have you tried that?" 

"Hey!" Hobi frowned. 

I laughed and crossed my arms. "Funny. How long have you thought about Hobi in a skirt?" 

"Ew!" 

"What?!" 

I laughed at their reactions. Soon, Jaehee was back with cotton candy, which she gratefully handed to us. "Since the three of you are such good friends, the sweets are my treat." 

"You might be broke by the end of the day." I joked. We remained where we were, at the entrance of the festival as I waited for a specific someone. 

"Who are we waiting for? I want to try out the water dunk!" Jungkook hurried, taking a bite out of his cotton candy. Now that I thought about it, his style was always sketchy. All black.. a hoodie..

"Haven't you been playing that for.. 10 years?" I shot back, then directed my gaze at the entrance, tapping my foot and eating my cotton candy. "I'm waiting for Baekhyun." 

"Woah there.." Jaehee trailed off, giggling and placing a hand on my shoulder. "Did we miss something? Is there something you're not telling us?" 

"Ohh. So you have a crush on him?" Hobi and Jungkook teased. I groaned and lightly bonked them on the head. 

"No.." I replied quickly. He told me he was off to check something. I trusted him. 

"Then why are you-" 

"Hey." a familiar voice spoke. We turned out heads and found ourselves face to face with the one and only Kim Namjoon. Wow. And didn't he say he was 'too busy'? 

"I thought you weren't available." I placed a hand on my hip. 

He perked up, his eyes widening and his cool and calm composure slowly breaking. "W-What? How could I know that I still have plans today? And besides.. I was just about to go home." 

Hobi laughed. "Ne~ Namjoon just wants to come with us!" 

"The festival just opened. And that's the only entrance." Jungkook reasoned, then gave him a teasing smile. "You want to hang out with us!" 

"Y-You!" Namjoon exclaimed, then looked away. "Fine. Since you insisted. Just don't expect me to be part of your little group of friends." 

I laughed and waved a hand, "Yeah, yeah." 

"Uh, hey." another voice said, this one coming from the entrance. I unconscious smile made it's way to my lips as I turned my head to see Baekhyun with a small grin on his face. 

"Baekhyun." I said, smiling as I lead him to the others. "I'm pretty sure you haven't met them yet, right? Jungkook. Hoseok. Jaehee. Namjoon." I gestured to them as he did so. 

"Yo." Jaehee greeted with a wave, offering him some cotton candy. 

"Hmm." Namjoon nodded. 

"Yes! Hey. Hurry up, I want to play the games!" Jungkook hurried with a stupid grin. 

"Yeah! I get to win over Jungkook; again!" 

Baekhyun's eyes slightly widened at the greetings he received, but smiled anyways. 

"Where are we off to first?" Jaehee questioned, making out with her cotton candy. 

I hurried on my footsteps and walked backwards in front of them. "Who has good aim?" 

"Okay, okay.. so here's the deal." Jaehee said, tucking some chocolate under her arm so she could hold the toy gun properly in her hands. "We play games and the one with most wins... gets to order the others around for the rest of the day." 

"That's unfair." Namjoon protested. "Why decided that all on the number of wins and not intelligence and leadership?" 

I laughed and patted his shoulder. "You think too much." 

Jungkook shrugged and smirked, taking his stance, while Hobi clumsily did the same. I took my stance as well, Baekhyun doing to the beside me. Namjoon took his stance as well. 

The game started, and turns out, I was doing pretty good. So far, Jungkook was winning. Second was Baekhyun, I was third, Jaehee was next, then Hobi, and last was Namjoon, who was endlessly cursing and sprouting out on how much he hated this games. 

In the end, Jungkook was the winner and the results were basically the same. 

"Yeah!" Jungkook fist bumped the air, then Baekhyun, who laughed along. 

"That was so unfair!" Namjoon and Jaehee complained at the same time. 

"It was fun!" I exclaimed, Hobi beside me, laughing as well. 

"Alright.. where to next?" Jaehee said, still sulking over the fact that she didn't win. After all, she was pretty confident over her victory. I shrugged and pointed to one of the new stalls. 

"I think we just need to catch small fishes?" Hobi explained, which sounded more of like a question as he peeked over the edge of the railing, where many small fishes swam in the water. 

"I'm g!" I said, handing the clerk some won. He handed me 6 rods, which I distributed to everyone else. 

"I never played this before." Jungkook muttered under his breath, as he pulled up the fishing rod, only to meet himself with an empty hook. 

"I'm pretty good at this!" Namjoon smiled widely as he caught his 3rd fish. I was at 4, Jungkook had none (which was surprising), Hobi had 5, Jaehee had 5 as well, and Baekhyun had 8. 

"Talk about good." I playfully rolled my eyes as Baekhyun won the game easily. "And besides, I think I finally found something Jungkook isn't good at." 

"Hey." Jaehee started, skipping in front of us. "I'm hungry. What do you guys want?" 

"Alright." Hobi said. "In the meantime, you guys can wait for us at that.. weird place over there!" 

As we announced our craves, Jaehee was off with Hobi and Jungkook. So I was left with Namjoon and Baekhyun. We made our way to the 'weird place' Hobi was talking about, which was a stall with a man announcing random pair challenges. 

"You there!" he pointed at the three of us. "Want to fell good about yourself? You mister! Want to impress your girlfriend?" 

Namjoon blushed. "S-She's not my girlfriend!" 

He shrugged and apologised. "Hmm. Alright then. If you do join, you get to win this meat!" 

My eyes landed on the meat beside him, and I couldn't help but gawk. Turns out my mouth was open in awe. 

Baekhyun turned to me, smiled, then to the announcer, "What do we have to do?" 

He pointed at his watch. "You just gotta carry her on your back the longest. We already have 5 contestants over here, so if you're together.. you can be the sixth contestant!" 

"Wait, hold up, we have to be dating to join?" I cocked an eyebrow, heat rising up my cheeks. 

He pursed his lips. "That's how the rules go." 

"Yeah, she's my girlfriend." Baekhyun pursued, and I felt his hand grip mines. 

"Hey now.." Namjoon blushed hard, scooting a bit farther away from us. "You know what? Just go. The rules are pretty unfair to start with. Win the game." 

I smiled as Baekhyun started leading me to where the other contestant were. "Don't blame me if your spine gets gets split in half." 

He laughed softly and bended down. "Hmm." 

I wrapped my arms around his neck. He stood up and scoffed. "You're not even that heavy." 

"Oh, so you can carry me longer than the other contestants?" I said. He was confident. I could so hear it in his tone and the way he carried me like I was nothing. Namjoon waved at me. 

"What the hell?" Jungkook blurted out when they were back with ice cream. 

"Woah there! We were gone for 10 minutes and this is what I see!" Jaehee exclaimed, choking on her juice. 

"Yuna! You're not allowed to get married yet!" Hobi cried. 

"I bet they're gonna win." Namjoon grinned. "She doesn't look too heavy." 

Jungkook rolled his eyes. "She eats a lot, but her weight's pretty surprising. She's pretty light.." his eyes landed on the meat. "And she probably did it for the meat." 

"To join, you must be a couple.." Hobi slowly read the rule sign beside us and started freaking out. He told the others, and they ended up freaking out as well, except for Namjoon who just sighed and shook his head at them. 

"Yuna! You're still too young to date!" Hobi whined, making his way over to us. 

"As I said." I repeated, trying to sustain my laughs on how they acted. "I did it for the meat. And Baekhyun was nice enough to help me!" 

Soon, we were one of the two pairs left. 

"Man." Jungkook said, eating his 3rd ice cream. "You're pretty strong, Baekhyun, huh?" 

He smiled and shrugged. "It seems like she really wants to win." 

I sighed and laid my head on his shoulder. "I'm getting bored.. but can you imagine how amazing it would be if I won the meat?" 

"I?" Namjoon scoffed and sat on the grass beside Jaehee. "Talk about not giving enough credit. Baekhyun's doing all the work for you." 

"I ship it!" Jaehee squealed. "I'm enjoying this." 

"Yeah.." Hobi's voice was faded, as he had his hands on his face, for god knows why. 

Soon, the couple beside us lost when the guy accidentally lost his balance. How that happened, I have no idea, but we won! I jumped from his back and happily grabbed the meat from it's place. "Yes! I'll be having good dinner tonight!" 

Jungkook playfully rolled his eyes and laughed at me. "Yeah right. The only thing you know how to cook is omelets." 

"I can cook!" Hobi raised his hand. "I think." 

As we debated on who's going to cook, Baekhyun whispered something to the boys, which got me a bit worried, but it didn't seem like they were too upset as some of them laughed and nudged him. 

"Fine." Jaehee groaned. "Let me cook. Happy?" 

"Yay!" I laughed. 

"Anyways, let's continue playing!" Hobi said, jogging to the stalls, us hot on his tail. 

In the end, Baekhyun and Jungkook were at a tie. So we decided to settle it with rock paper scissors. 

"This? You guys are no fun!" Baekhyun chuckled. I was happy that he was finally getting comfortable with us. Along with Namjoon, who opened up from time to time. 

They were pretty cool. 

"Yeah!" Jungkook groaned, as he took his stance. "Gah!" he buried his face in his hands and walked away from us, laughing as he lost the luck game. 

"I win." Baekhyun grinned. 

"Don't be evil about it!" Namjoon added. "Enjoy it while you can. Why did I agree on this again?" 

"I'll think about it." he shrugged. "But for now, I want to ride the ferris wheel!" 

"Thank god, that's nice of you." Jaehee sighed in relief. 

"Don't feel so bad, Kookie." Hobi said, ruffling Jungkook's hair. 

"Can I go alone?" Namjoon asked. 

I rolled my eyes. "Oh please, you enjoyed today." 

He didn't reply. Instead, he gave me a peace sign and a genuine smile, and I couldn't help but smile wider. 

"Nope, you're not. You're going to be with me, Namjoon!" Hobi said, making his way over to the taller male. 

"Hold up, we go in pairs?" Jaehee cocked an eyebrow, and we locked eyes. I was about to go to where she was, until Jungkook pulled her over to him. 

"I'll explain." he said, and with that, they were off. 

"I guess we have no choice, huh?" Baekhyun laughed as he insisted me to go first. He sat across from me. 

I looked out of the cable car to enjoy the view. This year's really one of a kind, huh? Back then, it was always me and Jungkook. And now we had new friends. 

"I'm glad you enjoyed today." I said softly, shifting in my seat so I had my hands on my lap and was facing him directly. All of a sudden.. I couldn't meet his eyes. 

"It was fun." he grinned, resting his head on his hand. 

I cleared my throat and placed some hair behind my ear. "It's nice to see you smile." 

He shrugged. "Really.. it's because of you and your friends. I regret nothing." 

I looked up at him, my cheeks suddenly getting hotter when I realised he was already looking at me. "Do you still want to end your life? Or.." 

The ferris wheel stopped, and the cablecar started swinging, hard enough to make me fall to where Baekhyun was. Blushing madly, I got off of him and sat beside him. "Oh my god, that doesn't usually happen. I'm sorry." 

What has gotten me so.. conscious and shy? 

He smiled. "Just calm down. We're getting out sooner or later." 

"As for your question.." he trailed off. "I'll live on." 

"As long as I know I have that certain someone.. as long as I love myself." he said, turning to me with a small smile. I nodded slowly. 

My heart was pounding. 

How could he.. 

"Never stop loving yourself." I said. "Please." 

Make me feel this way? 

"We've only known each other for weeks.." his voice lowered, as he turned to me. My heart pounded harder. "But Suyung..." 

"You're the reason why I want to live." he placed a hand on my shoulder and lowered his head.

Was I supposed to like someone so easily? 

I placed my hand on top of his and another on his cheek. "No. I shouldn't be the only reason. There has to be more." 

He looked up, and we locked eyes. 

"I can give you more reasons." I reassured. "Just trust me." 

He closed his eyes and grinned, scoffing a bit. He ended up laughing. 

"What's so funny?" I couldn't help but smile as well. He stopped.

"Nothing." he said, stopping himself and stared at me for a while. "You're just really.. amazing." 

"Am I?" I said, grinning. 

He gestured a hand. "Suyung, come nearer. I have something to tell you." 

I moved my head closer, then blushed madly when I felt his lips plant a quick kiss on my left cheek. I slowly moved away, staring at him, dumbfounded. 

"I like you." he whispered with a smile, flashing me a small heart. 

As if I was fluent enough with the words, I couldn't help but smile as well. 

"I like you too."
