Golden, golden, golden as I open my eyes
"Hyung let's go on this ride next!"
Taehyun and Beomgyu were at the carnival on a date. The two have been feeling like their relationship was in a really good place right now so Beomgyu decided to take his baby out on a date.
Taehyun was pointing to a drop tower that was really, really high. Too high for Beomgyu. Beomgyu gulped at the sight in front, or above, him.
"U-um no hyunnie I think you got that one." Beomgyu responded with a shaky voice.
"Oh, c'mon it'll be fun!"
"No, r-really I think I'm okay down here. Plus I could take pics of you down here!"
"Pleeease hyung, I'll even hold your hand if you're that scared." Taehyun was now pouting.
'How could I resist that pout...' "Fine." Beomgyu eventually gave in.
The pout was quickly replaced with a big smile as Taehyun ran to get in line for the drop tower, a miserable Beomgyu following behind.
I
know
you were way too bright for me
Once the couple finally strapped in and the announcer stated that the ride would be starting shortly, Beomgyu got very tense. Taehyun noticed this, immediately grabbing his and holding it to give Beomgyu a comforting presence. The scared boy looked at Taehyun to be met with a reassuring smile, making him more relaxed in an instant. "You'll be fine hyung, I'll hold your hand the whole time, okay?" Taehyun said. Beomgyu nodded his head as the ride began to lift off the ground.
By now the ride was getting closer to the halfway mark, not that close to the top. Then the ride abruptly stopped, causing Beomgyu's eyes to snap open as he had them closed so he couldn't see how far off the ground they were. He looked to Taehyun to see an anticipating smile on his boyfriend's face.
Then the ride dropped.
"AAAAHHH MOM! MOM PLEASE!" Beomgyu cried out. He looked at Taehyun to see him screaming and laughing at the same time, a smile on his face as the ride went up and down. Then when the ride was getting closer to the bottom, it stopped and started going back up. "Wh-what I thought it was OVER!" Beomgyu said, panic plastered on his face. "Haha hyung, this is a drop tower, it always ends with a big drop at the end. How do you not know that?" Taehyun replied, finding his scared boyfriend funny and cute.
The drop tower was finally at the top after a horrifying 2 minutes. The announcer came on the PA to say "Alright folks, we are going to countdown from 10 for the release! Now say it with me: 10, 9..." Everyone on the ride joined in on the countdown. Except Beomgyu, who was saying a prayer while his eyes were glued shut and he held onto Taehyun's hand for dear life. Taehyun looked over at him and chucked under his breath. 'Wow, he really is a scaredy-cat' He thought as he finished the countdown.
After the countdown ended, seconds of silence and no dropping passed.
More seconds passed and still no action.
You're
so golden
"Hey, what the he-AAAAAAAH" Beomgyu hollered as the ride began to plummet. This time both boys were screaming like there was no tomorrow, one overjoyed and the other about to have an accident in his pants.
Once the ride finally came to the bottom, Beomgyu was petrified. Taehyun got out of the safety restraint and hopped down from his seat. He turned around to look at Beomgyu, still frozen.
"Y'know if you don't move, they are gonna start the ride again." Taehyun teased.
Though his little joke was enough to snap Beomgyu out of his trance as he looked at Taehyun with wide eyes and quickly got out of the restraints. He held onto Taehyun when he got down, feeling a bit queasy. This made Taheyun burst into genuine laughter.
"S-so where do you want to go next?" Beomgyu asked, happy he can walk on the ground. Taehyun decided the Ferris Wheel, deeming that a safe choice given Beomgyu's current state and it would be the perfect ride to end the evening, now tuning into night.
I can feel you take control of who
I
am, and all
I've
ever known. Lovin'
you's
the antidote, Golden
Once the young couple were in their carrying component, they got in comfortable positions, snuggling close as they took in the sight of the carnival beside them.
Minutes passed as the two sat in in silence until the Ferris Wheel stopped with them at the top. They looked down to see all the lights coming from the carnival now below them. "Wow, it's even more beautiful from up here." Taehyun said, loving the way the lights twinkle. Beomgyu looked away from the sight and looked at his lover, admiring the way his eyes shimmered with the carnival lights in them.
You're
so golden, I don't want to be alone,
you're
so golden
"But it's not as beautiful as you. Nothing is as beautiful as you." Beomgyu said. Taehyun blinked away from below and looked up at Beomgyu, who just has a content grin on his face. Apparently that grin was contagious, because not long after Taehyun had one on his face and leaned in. He held his boyfriend's face in his hand and kissed him softly. Beomgyu's grin grew into a smile as he pulled Taehyun closer.
They broke the kiss once the Ferris Wheel began to move again. Taehyun let go of Beomgyu's face and put his hand and head on Beomgyu's chest.
"I love you Beomgyu."
"I love you too Taehyun."
You're so golden
