Yuta frowned as I stole one of his fries "Hey, I paid for those!"
I shrugged and turned my back to him, pushing further into the crowd. The fair was one of our annual highlights and the time had yet again come for our group to explore the rides - as if it weren't the same ones every year.
Jaehyun tucked on my sleeve, trying to catch up. His eyes flickered through the crowd as he leaned in closer to my ear "What will you do if you meet Jackson?"
My stomach turned. After Jackson's (actually justified) question, I hadn't texted him back at all, pushing the chances up for a rather awkward encounter. Actually, the tension was pretty high in our entire group.
Doyoung and I hadn't exchanged a single word since I had left the chat, Ten and Johnny were too caught up being adorable - but I was pretty sure that there was some underlying resentment left - and as for Taeyong, he had been kind of avoiding me as well.
"I'm not sure, probably die", I sighed dramatically "I mean, I should be there for him... after everything that he's been through, it feels like the right thing to do... you know?"
Jaehyun mustered me skeptically "Since I still don't know what exactly his situation is... I'll just have to trust your judgement, Aecha"
Wow, nothing's better than the reassurance of your best friend. Before I could brood any more, my vibrating phone caught my attention.
Taeyong can you meet me at the toilets in 10?
My heart skipped a beat at the sight of his name on the display. God, how could he make me feel this crazy? Although I had promised Jaehyun (and myself) to sort my feelings out, there surely was no harm in meeting up with Taeyong.
I was even terrible at lying to myself, damn it.

Taeyong's hair colour made it relatively easy to spot him in the stream of people.
"Hey", my voice was almost inaudible. Why was I so excited, yet scared at the same time?
He moved closer to me before smirking "You look beautiful today", how could he drop that so casually? Although I tried fighting it, I was pretty sure that I turned as red as his hair used to be.
"Thanks", I bit my lip "Why did you want to meet up?"
My eyes met his, kind of expecting him to make a dirty innuendo - after all, that was the nature of our relationship, right?
But to my surprise, his expression turned serious, it almost seemed as if he was nervous. What? Taeyong placed his hands on my shoulders, fumbling with the fabric of my sweater.
He licked his lips "So actually... I wanted to ask you...", but before he could continue, we were interrupted.
"So you were right, Irene", Jackson stared at us, the girl next to him clearly satisfied.
