The next day, I sent voice messages to Mingi and Yunho to explain the situation with Woo. They are over the moon, for them it's just a matter of time before we are officially together.

I admit there's a chance it might end up that way, or at least I hope so. But I prefer not to have too many expectations, for fear of being disappointed. We'll take our time, we're not in a hurry.

I also told the whole story to Eric and Beomgyu whom I promised to keep informed if something happened. And things did happen... They are just as happy as Mingi and Yuyu. Honestly, these four shouldn't meet I don't think I would survive it.

I put down my phone and sprawled out on the floor of my room. I'm bored. What could I do? I could read but it's boring. I could dance but I'm too lazy.

Oh but wait...

Woo's birthday is coming up. It's on July 26, in 6 days. I'd like to get him a gift, but not just some random thing I bought. I want to give him something special.

But I don't know what... I racked my brains, I really wanna give him something he'll like. I rolled onto my side to assume the same position but lying on my stomach this time.

Ugh, I don't know...

S: I know!!!

I jumped on my phone and placed an order online. He'll like it, for sure.

So we agreed to meet at 6 p.m. at the Daegu fair. I just arrived and am waiting for Wooyoung standing in front of the entrance.

It's still quite bright but the sun is starting to get low in the sky, revealing a slight orange tint. The fair is lively and full of colorful lights. It's been a while since I've been here.

WY: So Sannie, can you feel your inner child waking up? - he said as he arrived behind me and put his arm over my shoulder.

S: Damn you scared me lil jerk!

He laughed heartily before setting off.

WY: Are you coming?

S: No, no, I'll just stay here all alone for the whole evening - I said ironically as I started to follow him, making him burst into another laugh.

WY: I wanna do this - he said pointing to a ride that looks terrifying.

S: Wanna do that too.

Yeah, it looks terrifying but we're sadistic. Isn't that what rides are for?

WY: Shall we go now?

S: Yeah, to kick off the evening!

We joined the queue for the ride, already caught up in the adrenaline rush.

We sat side by side in the ride that lifted us about 20 meters off the ground. It then started spinning in all directions, tossing us around like old socks in a washing machine.

We spent our time screaming and laughing, euphoric and terrified before it finally brought us back to the ground in the gentlest of maneuvers. We stumbled out, legs shaking and brains scrambled.

WY: Damn that was awesome!

S: Same but I really thought I was passing by!

WY: Me too, at one point I felt myself sliding in my seat, I pissed myself!

S: For real??

WY: No, I'm not Seonghwa!

I laughed at his remark. It's true that Hwa already pissed himself in high school the idiot. It became part of the legend.

WY: Okay, let's do something calmer now.

S: Like that! - I said pointing to a horror ride.

WY: That's lame, these things ain't scary.

S: We'll see if it's not scary - I said grabbing his wrist and pulling him to the entrance of the ride.

WY: Well, if I jump it doesn't mean it scared me okay? It just means it surprised me.

S: Sure, sure, come on.

He joined me in the car and it soon started moving.

WY: Just hope there are no clowns...

The car slowly entered the dark setting and frightening sounds began to be heard.

WY: AAISH!! - he exclaimed jumping as a zombie head suddenly appeared in front of us.

I burst into laughter unable to utter a word to mock him. Did he really get scared at the first screamer?

WY: Hey don't laugh! It's just that it's surprising! - he said laughing nervously. OH FUCK WHAT'S THAT OVER THERE?? IT'S MOVING!

S : Calm down it's an actor! - I said totally cracking up.

WY: HE HAS A CHAINSAW! WHY IS HE ON MY SIDE OF ALL PLACES!?

The cart approached slowly towards the actor disguised as a psychopath. I continued to laugh barely able to look at him, too busy enjoying Wooyoung's reactions.

WY: STOP LAUGHING, WE'RE GETTING CLOSER! HE'S GONNA TOUCH ME! AAAAH NOOOO DON'T TOUCH ME! GO AWAY!!! - he shouted crushing me as the actor brandished his chainsaw above Wooyoung as we passed by him.

Woo's face is hilarious, I can't stop laughing.

WY: Hey it's okay you can stop laughing, I just pretended to be scared - he said regaining his composure.

S: Yeah yeah it's okay, I believe you - I laughed discreetly putting my arm behind him and stroking his ear on the opposite side.

WY: AAAAAAAH WHAT'S THAT!? DID HE FOLLOW US?? - he exclaimed in a start before turning around. DAMN BUT IT'S YOU ASSHOLE!

He started hitting me and I continued to laugh heartily under his blows.

S: Watch out, I hear circus music coming from where we're going...

WY: Oh no.....

He instantly stopped hitting me and I saw his face fall. It's really too funny, I think I'm gonna die before it ends.

He clung to me, gripping me with all his strength. He buried his face against my neck and watched the scene with only one eye.

WY: You protect me, okay? - he said with a small voice.

S: Yeah, promised - I replied in a amused little laugh.

Conclusion of chapter 47: According to Wooyoung, these things ain't scary.

▻✧◅

I can totally imagine Wooyoung reacting like that with his 14000 dB screams and all.
