27 CONQUEROR OF FEAR (1/2)

Our last stop for today is the Seven Seas Amusement Park. As the name says, it's an amusement park.

”Cass, we're going here?”

I smirked. ”Scared?”

”Haha. No. No. Nooo. Okay let's go.”

We made our way to the entrance and paid for unlimited rides because why not? This is the time to have fun. Money? We can earn it back.

We decided to try the mellow rides. So first, The Octopus. This was Minho's idea. Apparently, he wants to get accustomed to the height.

We are sitting facing each other. I can see his hands are slightly shaking. I've got a nagging feeling to touch them and hug him, but I restrained myself. Sit tight Cass, you just met. How could you be so initiating. I took a deep breath.

”So Minho. You're afraid of heights?”

”Everyone has an Achilles' heel Cass. And this is mine. Everytime we go to the Amusement Park when I was a kid, my knees would start to shake. I still haven't overcame it.”

”Sorry. Should we go?”

”No no. You like it here, right? And I want to overcome this fear somehow. Even just a fraction. So we should try this.”

”Okay. If you feel afraid, I'll let you hold my hand. So that you'll feel someone's there for you.”

”Thanks Cass.”

”Look outside. Isn't it wonderful? You could feel the wind and see the world down below. I feel like I'm the overlord of all Earth.” I said that while laughing.

”So that's how I should feel? Hmm I'll try that.”

The ride finished. And we're on to the next, The Lighthouse.

We found two seats available, and the park staff strapped us in.

”Cass, am I gonna die?”

I laughed. ”Come on, you can do this. Take my hand and we'll conquer your fear!”

His hands were a little sweaty and shaking, a clear sign of him being so nervous. I held his hand tighter, showing support. He looked at me and smiled gratefully.

We started to ascend. I felt Minho's hand gripping mine so hard. I smiled, somehow amazed that strong guys like him have something they fear.

I watched the scene before me. The sky on an orange hue, hinting the sign of twilight. Skyscrapers adorning below, and small twinkling lights moving around. This is so relaxing.

And then, we dropped.
