Chapter 12

"Changmin. How has your day been?" Haknyeon forced a smile onto his face to hide the worry that started welling up inside. "It's been all right, but now it's better because I've found you. Is it just you two?" "No. Sangyeon is in our group. We should be going anyway." Haknyeon looked at Sunwoo then noticed he was getting up from his seat. "If you don't mind, I-we want to spend time with Haknyeon here." "I do mind." He felt someone grab his hand then pull him away. "Sunwoo, let go. You're hurting me." He felt Sunwoo let go then was immediately pulled away from Sunwoo. "We'll be taking him now. Later." Haknyeon m tried pulling himself away from Changmin but doing so only made him hold on tighter.

"So, Changmin took Haknyeon. Well, one less child for me to look over. Anything you wanna ride now that Haknyeon isn't here?" Sangyeon looked over at Sunwoo and was surprised at how upset the younger looked. "Sunwoo, what's going on? You were upset with Haknyeon here and now you look even more upset that he isn't. You're confusing me here." "Changmin can't have him." "What?" Sunwoo looked away from Sangyeon then started walking away.

"Oh, I see. You like Haknyeon." Sunwoo tensed up and that was all the proof Sangyeon needed. "Bullseye. So, you're having trouble with not only your past actions, but Changmin too. Yeeeah, I don't see you two getting together." Sunwoo stopped walking and Sangyeon followed suit. "You think it's hopeless too?" "Well, yes. Who would want to date someone who bullied them?" Sunwoo sighed then shoved his hands into his pockets. "If only I had just been honest from the start..." "Don't look so deflated. I didn't say it was impossible. Who knows, maybe he's crazy enough to fall for you."

"Changmin, can you let go?" "Let him go, Changmin." Younghoon asked in a sweet yet low voice. Changmin reluctantly let go then let out a sigh. "Are you okay, Haknyeon?" Juyeon asked as he checked his wrist. "No, not really. My waist feels like it's on fire." "Changmin." Younghoon hissed. "What? I-We couldn't have him taken from Sunwoo now could we?" "Still, that's no reason to be so rough." Changmin let out another sigh then smiled. "So, what do you want to do, Haknyeon? Are you hungry or want a drink?" Haknyeon shook his head and remained silent. He looked over at Younghoon who looked like he was in more pain than himself. "I'll go ride something with Younghoon. Don't worry, I'll be with him." Haknyeon dragged Younghoon away then started conversation when he felt they left Changmin's line of sight.

"You don't look too well." "No, I haven't been well." "Why? Are you sick?" Younghoon let out a chuckle then shook his head. "You wouldn't understand. You haven't found someone you like yet." "I still want to listen though. Maybe that's what you need, someone to listen to you." Younghoon sat on the edge of a low wall and Haknyeon followed suit. "I'm sure half of the group knows I really like Changmin. But, as you can see, he only has eyes for you. It's so one sided. A few have told me to just give up and move on, but they don't know anything. It's not easy just giving up and moving on." Haknyeon only nodded, not sure on how to console Younghoon on his love woes.

"I honestly thought he liked me back. Why? Well, we did plenty of things that people who like each other do, minus the kissing. We even cuddled once." "Oh...I'm sorry." He shook his head then gave Haknyeon a small smile. "The world needs people like me. So movies, books, etc. can be made. Or you know, scam people into buying things, making them think it'd help them win the one they love but it doesn't." "Well, that got deep quick..." "Sorry. It's a habit." Haknyeon nodded then noticed a familiar figured with their back turned to them. "Chanhee! Hyunjoon!" They turned around and waved as they walked over to them. "Didn't think we'd run into you guys. How has your day been?" Haknyeon sighed and that's all Chanhee needed to hear. "We can talk about it while we walk. Sorry, Younghoon. I'll be stealing him for a bit." "Just make sure to bring him back, or else Changmin will lose it. We don't need to make a scene here." "Right."

"So, what happened?" Haknyeon retold his entire day up until then. Chanhee wasn't sure how to react but hoped he could be of some use. "Well, things between you and Sunwoo are so shaky these days. Though, you have been getting along better. I have noticed a change in him. He looks at you more than he used to. I once caught him writing something down. It looked like a love song and it had your name in it. Don't quote me. So, my conclusion is that Sunwoo likes you. And you're too dense to realize that." "Well, actually..." Chanhee looked at Haknyeon with a face full of excitement. "You like him too?" "What? No. I was going to say I noticed him looking more. Always jumping to conclusions." Chanhee shook his head and looked at Haknyeon in disbelief. He just told him Sunwoo probably liked him and he simply brushed it off. "We should go back. I have a feeling Changmin is looking for Younghoon and I."

Everyone met up at the entrance then Sangyeon did a head count. "Where's Sunwoo?" Everyone shrugged which made Sangyeon let out a sigh. "I'll go look for him." Changmin piped up. "I think I should. After what I said today." Haknyeon took off back into Everland before Changmin could get his hands on Sunwoo or vice versa.

He looked high and low for Sunwoo at rides and near food places but the result was the same. "I have a phone. Why don't I think about these things?" He dialed Sunwoo's number but it went straight to voicemail. He tried again but got the voicemail once more. "Great. Do you mind helping me universe?" He started asking around and felt it was hopeless until one kind soul told him they spotted someone like him near a crane game. He ran over to the crane games and sure enough, there he was. "Sunwoo! What are you doing? It's time to go."

He watched Sunwoo bend down then take a stuffed toy from the machine then walk over to him. "Take it." "I, uh-" Haknyeon felt Sunwoo place it in his hands as he stepped forward. "There you go again, invading my personal space." Haknyeon said weakly as Sunwoo closed the gap between them. "Hey! What do you think you're doing? Stop it, I-" He was silenced as Sunwoo's lips met his. He tried pushing Sunwoo away, but it only made Sunwoo hold on tighter. He could feel Sunwoo's tongue demanding entrance and he put up a fight, but lost. He slowly melted into the kiss as his eyes started closing. "No! Push him away!" With all the might he could muster, he pushed Sunwoo back then made a dash for the entrance.

As everyone started getting into the vans, Haknyeon made sure that he and Sunwoo got into different vans. He sat in the back then watched as they pulled off from Everland. "Why did he have to go and do that? Why did I let him? Everything is okay between us, but he keeps pushing for something more. Strangely, I don't seem to complain much about it to him, or anyone really." "What are you thinking about?" Haknyeon jumped then faced the owner of the voice. "Nothing, just missing Everland, Eric." Chanhee turned around then gave Haknyeon a confused look. "When and where did you get that stuffed toy?" It took a moment for it to register in his mind that he still had Sunwoo's prize. "Oh. Sunwoo asked me to hold it for him. That's all." He looked out the window then closed his eyes, wishing he could forget the kiss.
