[CONTENTID1]Getting Close[/CONTENTID1]   [CONTENTID2]Long chapter ahead!   Sora bit her bottom lip as she uncomfortably sat in the back of Chunji's lavish car. She had been really hesitant about going together with Teen Top, but her parents faces had looked so happily proud that she did not have the heart to disappoint them, after all she had always been one to please others.    She sighed and turned to look out the window as her mind wandered back to her father. He was glad that his cooped up daughter had made many friends and had heartily allowed her tag along with them; but he had also told her to be careful. Sora had not taken his words seriously though, as it was his way of always expressing love and concern for the girl, but as she was following Teen Top out of the house, he had called her back and waited until Teen Top were out of earshot.   "Be careful," he had said, making the girl furrow her eyebrows, somewhat in worry and confusion.   "I trust that you won't do anything that will let us down, so I'm telling you to just be wary of them. These boys, they're still young, so they're genuinely true to themselves as well as those around them." He'd told her, making her smile that she had made a right decision in choosing to befriend them, or at least try, because all she had done was turn away from the beginning.    "But as they grow up, their priorities may change; which means that their responsibilities as heirs might make them turn away and look at you differently-" he stated, indirectly mentioning the difference between them, the man knew that status was a big thing in this day. But, as happy as he was for his daughter, he was also worried, afraid that she may face a hard time.  "-and I just want you to be prepared sweetheart; and not grow too attached to them. Because I don't want my precious daughter to get hurt." He lastly advised    "Ne appa." She'd agreed, misunderstanding the situation, though she had chosen to remain quiet.   "Alright, I won't hold you anymore, go and have some fun." He'd shooed her out, resulting in the girl's relief as she had taken a deep breath and hurriedly walked away from her father's nerve wrecking presence.   The girl then turned and watched the three boys: Chunji in the drivers seat, with L.joe as a passenger, and the boy with black hair, Changjo if she remembered correctly, sitting in the backseat with her. The quietness was beginning to bother Sora, were they like so because of her? She thought and soon sighed; maybe it was time to take action.   She turned to Changjo and took a breath, "Hi," she started, making the boy turn to her, "you're Changjo, right? I don't think I introduced myself properly, I'm Sora." She stated, as she wondered whether or not she should extend her hand for a shake; judging by Changjo's nonchalant expression though, she decided the latter.   "I know," he stated with the same carefree expression of his, rendering Sora speechless as her face burned with embarrassment. "Chunji-hyung told us about you, so we all know." He stated bluntly, The girl did not know wether to turn away or retort back as she heard L.joe snicker in the passenger seat. Although, he remained quiet otherwise, Chunji took the liberty to make Sora comfortable.   "Don't mind him," he suggested, "he's always like this. You'll get used to it." He explained further.   "It's okay, Chan Hee-ssi, it doesn't matter." She told him, because she could completely understand where the boy was coming from. He reminded her of her old self; of the time when she was still awkward and closed off.   "Drop the ssi," he said to her, "it feels weird, replace it with oppa instead." He asked hopefully, sounding more like a statement which had his heart already soaring at the thought of being intimately addressed by the girl he was destined to. However, the cause was only wishful thinking on his part.   Sora scoffed as she turned her head to look outside again, "don't push it, be happy that I even agreed to come out with you." She stated with her demeanour completely turning; causing L.joe to finally burst out laughing.   "Ooh, she got you there man!" He mocked his brother. The boy was actually finding this whole situation pretty entertaining. It wasn't everyday that he found his brother at a loss for words.   Sora looked in the window's reflection to find Chunji sighing, which caused her to mirror his action although, she found herself smiling when her eyes fell onto Changjo with his lips slightly upturned. She wished he warmed up to her soon.   The brunette looked up ahead as she felt the car coming to a stop. The child inside resurfaced  as her face visibly lit up when she took in the fact that Chunji had bought her to Lotte World; Sora felt someone watching and she looked into the rear view mirror, only to find Chunji staring back at her. The moment their eyes met however, the boy quickly averted his gaze.   "Alright, we're here everyone. Let's go." He said as they filed out one by one; with Sora clearing to rid herself of any unwanted thoughts or feelings.   They left the car to have the energetic voice of Ricky calling to them; although the three had been very easy to spot, but only so because there were no other people in the whole park except for them.   "Why's it empty?" Sora asked as she furrowed her eyebrows, "it should be packed today. It's Sunday." She simply stated.   "Ah," L.joe started with a suspiciously innocent smile, "we thought it'd be more comfortable this way, right Chunji?" He asked his brother, turning to him with the same smile.   "Y-yeah." He stuttered, looking away as he speed walked to the three boys who were eager to meet up. Especially Ricky, Niel as well as CAP were casually waiting.   "What's wrong with him?" Sora faced L.joe with a crease in her brows. Had she said something wrong?   "You." The bright haired boy stopped as he sighed and shook his head, "you're really dense." He stated, walking ahead without giving the confused girl a chance to speak.   "Huh? What's that supposed to mean?" She questioned no one in particular, but she did gape like a fish out of water when the realisation dawned on her. "W-wait! So you booked this whole park!?" She asked incredulously.   The rest of the boys, who were acutely listening in on the conversation- with the exception of Chunji, who sighed in relief; and Ricky, who tilted his head with a cute "hm?" -face palmed themselves, causing Sora to show befuddled reaction.   "What?" She blinked, baffled with their reactions.   "It's nothing, you guys are just wasting time. Let's go." Chunji stated, walking ahead of everybody. Suddenly serious and straight faced.   The boys only laughed as Sora watched them, until Niel snorted and turned around to follow after Chunji, "didn't you hear?" He called as he went, "the prince said: "let's go." He said, as he imitated Chunji and then laughed at his own joke.   "Prince?" Sora wondered out loud with creased brows as the boys walked on.   "It's our nickname for him." Changjo clarified as he also walked past her without stopping to possibly extended their conversation.   "Okay." The girl just causally shrugged as she ran like a little girl to close the distance between  herself and her playmates.   The boys were having great fun, although it was only the seven of them, however as it was also a first for them; interacting with a human like Sora. Teen Top had clearly taken a liking to her, as they doted on the girl like a little sister.   Being the curious little children that they were, Teen Top tried most of the rides, of course dragging Sora along with them. Though, the girl didn't have a problem with being pulled along everywhere they went, she did find it awkward when there were childish disagreements between the two hyper boys of the group: Niel and Ricky.    So CAP, deciding to step in as the responsible oldest hyung and leader suggested that they split into groups, so that way they could do anything they wished before meeting up together with the others.   "Alright," L.joe shrugged, glancing at his brother, "I'm going with Changjo, you're boring." He stated with a poker face as he walked away with one hand in his pocket while the other was tugging Changjo along, "let's go maknae."   "Maknae? He's the maknae?" Sora asked in disbelief.   "Yeah, didn't you know?" Niel questioned back nonchalantly.   "So how old is Ricky?" She asked again, not at all believing what she was hearing. If not for L.joe, the girl could have been fooled with Ricky's baby face.   "I'm seventeen as well, but I'm older than him." He told her as he chuckled.   "But...you look like a baby." She mumbled, causing the boys to laugh.   "No way noona, I'm a man!" He exclaimed as he fisted his chest, appearing to be adorable in Sora's eyes, she certainly thought otherwise.   "Anyway, let's go!" He said, jumping towards her and Chunji who was standing next to her.   "Where do you think you're going?" Niel stopped him, grabbing the back of his collar as he pulled the excited boy back.   "Your craziness will rub off on Sora, so you're coming with us." He relayed to the boy.   "Eh? But..."    Niel narrowed his eyes, sendind the boy a secret message, who instantly nodded in understanding, "ah, okay!"    "Bye guys!" Niel smiled towards the pair as he, Ricky and CAP walked away, leaving the boy and girl alone to spend their time.   "We'll meet in a while." He called out waving.   Chunji and Sora were left with each other, both of them trying to avoid eye contact in the tense air, until Sora inhaled and started walking mindlessly, "well, let's go."   Chunji could only sigh and follow, he knew the boys left them deliberately, however the boy also had a feeling that the girl was likely to keep her distance. He could try however.   Eventually, later on in the afternoon Sora grew a tad comfortable around Chunji, she started talking to him more openly and the boy seemed to reciprocate her spirit. They were like children let loose in a sweets shop as they went on various rides; the pair turned a blind eye to their surroundings and wholly amused themselves in the park.    Chunji was being very courteous to Sora, constantly showering her with his smiles the boy had lent her his shoulder to lean on when she had come off the roller coaster feeling slightly dizzy, he had also brought her flower shaped candy floss, making the girl feel cherished. She did not want to eat it because it was so pretty and eating it would also mean ruining it, embarrassingly enough for the girl though, her partner had only laughed and assured her that he would buy her another to take home.   As they were walking, Sora spotted the gyro tower in the distance and eagerly tapped Chunji's shoulder, pointing in the direction with one hand,   "Can we go on that?" She bounced excitedly.   "Sure." He agreed, grasping her hand and pulling her with him, resulting in the girl's' eyes to stick to their held hands in wonder, she had completely forgotten about the ride.   Though, she was snapped out of her da
