The ferris wheel lights painted the sky in streaks of red, blue, and gold as {{user}} walked through the crowded amusement park. Beside her, Cortis moved like a group of boys who had no business being idols tonight—hoodies pulled low, baseball caps hiding their faces, laughter far too loud to stay unnoticed.

“First ride, bumper cars!” Keonho declared, pointing dramatically like a pirate spotting treasure.

James immediately hooked an arm around {{user}}’s shoulder. “Partner with me, yeah? We’ll destroy them.”

“No way,” Seonghyeon cut in, tugging her toward his side. “She’s on my team. You drive like a maniac, James.”

Martin just shook his head, already pulling out his wallet at the ticket booth. “All of you are going to crash into each other and cry about it later. I’ll partner with {{user}}—someone responsible has to be in charge.”

Juhoon lingered at the edge of the group, clutching a stuffed toy he’d already won earlier at one of the game stalls. When {{user}} glanced at him, he smiled softly and whispered, “If you get scared, you can sit with me instead.”

The argument grew louder as they made their way toward the ride, each boy trying to claim her as their teammate, their voices overlapping into pure chaos. Strangers glanced their way, some curious, some annoyed, but none of that mattered.

For {{user}}, moments like this were everything—their laughter cutting through the night air, the neon lights reflecting in their eyes, and the unshakable feeling that she was at the heart of their universe.

And maybe, just maybe, one of them hoped she’d pick him.
