The wagon plunged through the circus-themed door revealing a row of clowns on either side of the tracks.

WY: Oh damn hell...

I let out a small amused laugh. The wagon traversed the room, taking us past the clowns who were trying to touch and grab us. But as Woo asked, I shielded him from their hands, pushing them away while gently scolding.

I could hear Wooyoung whimpering against my neck, he had completely closed his eyes and was holding onto me tighter than ever.

S: It's okay Woo, we passed them!

WY: Really? - he hesitated, opening one eye to look ahead. Damn yes! You're amazing, you saved my life! - he pulled away from my neck wrapping his arm over my shoulder and planting a kiss on my cheek.

I'm gonna die, my pulse instantly doubled and I bet my face turned crimson.

WY: Wait, why am I thanking you?? You're the one who brought me here! - he exclaimed getting upset and moving away from me.

I burst into laughter, amused by his reaction.

S: Wait, I have a memory coming back to me... Didn't you say something like "These things ain't scary"? But maybe I'm wrong! It might've been a dream! - I teased.

WY: Stop, you're too mean! I just had the scare of my life and you keep teasing me??

S: Spare the rope and spoil the child.

WY: Rod. It's spare the rod, San.

S: Well, means the same.

WY: You haven't improved in expressions for re- AAAGHHHH!!! WHY IS IT ALWAYS ON MY SIDE!!??

I burst into laughter for the 7th time. I put my arm around his back and pulled him toward me. He spent the rest of the ride curled up against me whining like a child and cursing everything that appeared in front of him.

WY: Damn, never again will I do this crap, I told you it was lame - he grumbled as we exited the attraction.

S: Do you wanna play the duck pond game, little one? - I said pretending to talk to a child.

WY: Don't reverse the roles, you're still the child here!

I laughed joyfully, he's too cute when he pouts.

S: Well, it's not all but I'm starting to get hungry!

WY: Come on, let's get some food.

We went to various stalls to buy delicious treats and then sat at a table to enjoy it all.

WY: Sanniiiie?

S: Hm?

WY: What's my surpriiiise?

S: Sorry but I won't tell you! Even though I can't wait for you to know what it is.

Wooyoung puffed out his cheeks and made a little sad face. Ahhh I wanna eat him so bad. He's not food though.

WY: Yet, I'm so happy you prepared something for me! It's too cute seriously.

He continued talking to me with sparkling eyes. His mouth is deformed by a slight smile.

WY: But I'm really wondering what it is and especially why I have to come to your place. Maybe it's-

I stopped listening to him, too absorbed in his face. My eyes reflect the word "Fondness." They scream "I love you."

I smile stupidly at him.

WY: Give me a hint!

S: No way. Stop tryna guess what it is and eat your skewer, it's gonna get cold.

WY: Okay, okay... - he said bringing the food closer to his mouth. But maybe it's a thing-

S: Shut up and eat!! - I said laughing.

WY: Okaay, okay!! No need to get angry!! - he said laughing along with me.

After finishing eating, we continued exploring the various stalls and attractions. The evening passed quickly. Too quickly. Time always goes by too fast when I'm with Woo.

WY: Well, I think we've seen everything!

S: Yeah, it was so much fun.

We started walking toward the exit.

WY: But never again will I do that horror thing.

S: Daaamn you killed me with laughter for real!! I don't think I've ever laughed so much in my life.

WY: Well, that's something... - he said laughing. But I'm surprised you didn't get scared at all, you're usually the type to freak out for no reason.

S: Yeah but I was too busy laughing at your exaggerated reactions, I didn't even have time to be scared!

WY: Damn I feel like you're gonna tease me about this now...

S: Well, I have to.

We arrived at the exit and stopped to say goodbye.

WY: Well, there you go...

S: Where did you park?

WY: Over there, and you?

S: Over there.

I don't wanna leave him.

WY: Well, get home safely!

S: You too!

WY: Shall we try to meet up again during the week?

I have the feeling that he doesn't want to either.

S: Yeah definitely. We'll keep each other posted! And we'll have to check with the guys about what we're doing for your birthday!

WY: Totally, I'll send them a message tomorrow.

S: Perfect.

I'd like to go home with him, I'd like to sleep in his arms. I don't wanna leave him. Never. What did I mean "I don't know if I'm ready"? What did I mean "I'm afraid I won't measure up"? Am I stupid or something??

WY: Well... See you!

S: Bye, Woo!

We both turned around as if tearing ourselves away from each other. I would've wanted to spend the night with him. But we said we would take it slow. So let's go slow...

We spent the rest of the week seeing each other almost every day. We can't seem to be apart from each other. Yet, nothing is official between us yet.

We feel that it's ambiguous and we relish in it. We flirt innocently and I feel my heart beat a little faster every day. Every time I see his smile.

Tomorrow is his birthday and I can't wait to finally show him his surprise.
