seventy-four

Half an hour later, they had finally reunited with Seungmin and Chan who had been busy riding all the rollercoasters that the park had to offer. Their hair was windswept and their cheeks flushed. It was obvious they'd had a lot of fun.

Nonetheless, Chan looked envious when he saw Jisung's kitty plush. "Seungmin, look! Why haven't you gotten a prize for me too?" He huffed and grimaced.

"Because we didn't have an opportunity for that, duh. Don't you remember? We stood in the line for the rollercoaster ride most of the time. The fuck?"

"Next time I want a prize too," he grumbled, but let him off the hook.

Minho on the other hand didn't plan on letting it slide. He smirked cockily. "You suck at dating, Seungmin," he drawled, his voice oozing in arrogance. "I'm better than you in every aspect."

"Can you shut up for a second, you arrogant ass?" He growled, being riled up easily.

"Don't argue, please," Jisung said, standing in between them, but they continued to glare daggers at each other. "We're wasting time here, let's try another one of those rides before the park closes," he added, and that finally caught the demons' attention.

The sky was already changing colors, turning from blue to violet since the sun would set soon. The spooky Halloween decoration spread throughout the park looked a lot more convincing now, the pumpkin lanterns glowing in the soft orange light.

The air had cooled significantly, making him shudder. Minho noticed this and wrapped him around his arms. Jisung smiled gratefully, carrying his plushie in one hand while the other was clutching onto Minho's jacket.

"How about we end the date with a ride in the Ferris wheel?" Chan proposed.

"So cheesy," Seungmin hissed, but chuckled internally.

"Oh, come on. Don't act as if you weren't looking forward to it."

"Alright, let's go. It's just around the corner," Jisung chimed in.

The Ferris wheel stood out from the other attractions, its flashing colorful lights making it appear like a beacon in the dark. It looked magical from the ground and they couldn't wait to see the brightly illuminated park from above.

They soon arrived at the entrance of the Ferris wheel, and thankfully, not many people were in line, so they were able to get in immediately. Minho insisted that they take a gondola on their own, smirking as he pulled Jisung into the next one he saw.

They left Chan and Seungmin alone and walked in the gondola. Minho made sure to have Jisung sit next to him, and they relaxed as the Ferris wheel began to move, their gondola ascending towards the night sky.

Minho peered out the window, but seeing how up they were, he flinched back slightly. The shining lights of the amusement park were dazzling, looking gorgeous, reminding him of tiny stars. From up here, everything looked so small. Fascinated, he couldn't tear his eyes from the sight.

Jisung's chuckle made him turn his head, and he was surprised at how close he was all of a sudden. With their eyes meeting each other, he leaned into Jisung to seal their lips with a sweet kiss.

He wasn't impatient and aggressive this time. He could be very gentle when he wanted to be, caressing Jisung's cheeks carefully like he was made of glass.

His heart was pounding in happiness when their lips parted, though they stayed close, leaning their foreheads against each other. "Thank you for today," he smiled. "I had a lot of fun. We should... go on dates more often."

"Of course. We can," Jisung chuckled and hugged Minho tightly.

To be continued...

Before anyone asks what a gondola is, it's basically the seats in a Ferris wheel.
