When asked where Sowon wanted to go for a day off, or for a show, or for a trip where they were to vlog, one would assume that the answer was an amusement park and the like, but Eunha knew the real answer.

Rather than the noisy children at the amusement parks, despite the joy of finding and seeing babies there much to Eunha's chagrin whenever Sowon ran off to go shake hands with one, Sowon would not for the life of her and Eunha, to go to an amusement park on a day off. Variety show? Sure. Vlog? Sure. Date? On a day off? Impossible.

Then was the suggestion of a zoo, or maybe a museum. The same thing applied, Sowon would refuse to go. Well, she'd go if Eunha begged her, but she wouldn't go on her own, she was of course, a person who didn't know how to play by herself.

But every time a free day came around, Eunha began to notice that the places Sowon picked to go, where either in the middle of nowhere, or somewhere dark. Like the movies. When it came to movies, Eunha loved to go with Sowon because then she'd get to see Sowon either cringe or deadpan at the cheesiest lines. The problem with movies is that Sowon and Yuju often went on their little horror excursions. Eunha would stay at home, jealously, but she'd rather be jealous than terrified. She wasn't as bad as Yerin and Umji, but horror movies were not her cup of tea.

So one time, on an aquarium date at one on the outskirts of town near the ocean, where there were no school trips going on, no huge crowds to watch a show, no squealing kids squishing their faces up against the glass, Eunha asked.

"Sowon unnie?"

"Yes?"

"Why do we always go to an aquarium? It's not that I don't enjoy them, I love them very much, but we always make sure to go to one, everywhere. I'm curious to your reason for coming every time."

Sowon hummed as she looked up at the big tank before her, the blue of the water casting it's faint glow on her face. Eunha looked up to where she was looking, but found that all the fish were near the bottom, where a diver was either cleaning something or feeding something. feeling an arm wrap around her shoulder, she let Sowon pull her gently in front, settling her chin atop Eunha's head. Eunha was also reminded how Sowon never height once they got out of the dorm on a day off. With Sowon's arms over her shoulder, Eunha was wrapped in all of Sowon's warmth.

"Number three is because I like aquariums, fish are cool creatures, seeing them swim so casually in our turbulent lives is calming."

"Three?"

"The major three reasons, babe."

Eunha blushed a little, her small hands playing with Sowon's.

"Number two is that it's dark."

"You like the dark?"

"Because it's kind of, a void like feeling. There's no one who could recognize me and you in this dark, no one to point at us and be mean when we flirt. There's no expectations, no judgements."

Sowon had always thought she brought nothing to the team, besides her figure and height. They'd convinced her over the years that she was a great singer and dancer, that she was the best leader. But sometimes, a small thing can bring back the dark thoughts. How ironic, dark thoughts and the darkness.

"And the last?"

"Because it feels like there's no one but me and you in this world."

A peaceful silence settled between them, Sowon moved to back hug Eunha, her chin settling on Eunha's shoulder as she breathed a happy sigh. Eunha just snuggled against Sowon freely.

"At the dorm,  we share different rooms, we can't always be together alone. At a movie theater, it's dark and it gives the same feeling of being together alone, but our attention is on the movie, or at least that's what the movie is supposed to be for."

"Then are the fish not attention grabbing?"

"They are, but they aren't loud and moving quickly like an action movie. I can just take my time to appreciate them."

Sowon released her arms, feeling Eunha's slight wiggle that usually meant she wanted to move. Eunha quickly pulled Sowon into a proper hug, her cheek nestled against Sowon's collar bone.

"You think I haven't seen all the fish there are to be in an aquarium before? Silly, we've been to so many there's rarely a new fish anymore. I'm here to spend time with you, clear the mind. Rest the body."

Now that she had mentioned it, it was kind of true. Even if they went to a new aquarium, there were rarely many differences. Sowon kissed the top of Eunha's head, a soft smile appearing as Eunha looked up at her.

"May I?"

Sowon leaned down after a quick scan of the room, one could never be too careful after all. Kissing Eunha softly though, all Sowon cared about was the girl in her arms. The soft, bunny-like girl named Jung Eunbi.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They exited the aquarium when it was beginning to close, having gone for the late hours for less people, hands intertwined warmly.

"You know unnie, we could just buy an apartment and stay there together for a day, or even just rent a hotel room."

"Haha, we could babe. If that's what you want."

bonus: in japan

Eunha fidgeted in her seat as their manager asked for their plans for their days off, still having not found how she wanted to spend the time with Sowon yet, she didn't know what to answer, even though she knew that it didn't matter anyways.

"And you Sowon?"

"I was thinking of seeing the aquarium here. Eunha do you want to come with me?"

A big smile appeared on Eunha's lips as she responded, cheerful.

"Sure, I'll amuse you."

Sowon winked and Eunha giggled a little looking away as their manager just scratched their head, a little confused.
