The carousel soon went into a slow halt, Yonna ran to them smudging her face into their bouncing chubby cheeks. She was so excited and content watching them take bigger steps to growing up.
"you did such good job!!" Yonna said while putting them down one by one mooching their bouncing cheeks.
Their day went on, getting hotter and hotter each hour.
In the time spent, on the amusement park, the twins had spent their time in search for other rides as Yonna photographed their every movement.
In mid afternoon the hot scorching sun dotted on the small family, Yonna thought it would be a good idea to stop for a picnic break, all the excitement had made them hungry, and their throats craving for a cold iced drink to soothe their thirst.
Yonna first laid down a cute mat and then came the food, spreading them out like how you would see it at a buffet. The twins gulped down their saliva, viewing all the food from above, making it hard to resist surging down it without chewing.
The preparations were finally done, the twins knew it was their que to start gobbling down until nothing was left. Yonna opened the water bottle, slowly pouring the iced cold barley tea into the twin's small miniature cups.
"Thank you, for the food!" Once the twins had finished, Yonna couldn't eat, the twins ate like they had been starved for days, watching then made Yonna full.
Before they left Yonna wanted to go on one more ride the Ferris wheel, it was a special ride so magical, it was like floating in thin air. They were walking together as Sarang held her mom's and Chinhwa's hand being their little link, Yonna realized how tight and packed the afternoon because, it was hard to navigate where they were going.
She soon felt like they were being squeezed Yonna tightened her grip onto the Sarang's small sweaty hands, but one tug forward became an ocean wave of people as they moved around. One moment, Yonna had control over where they were going, then they next everything went down hills, Yonna realized she felt without Sarang's small delicate hand. Not one of them were missing, but both had disappeared.
She stopped glazing hastily at her right hand seeing that Sarang and Chinhwa had gone missing into the deep moving crowd as people passed by her like a gaping hole....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The twins were left alone, being led to the side lines of the moving crowed and not even knowing what to do or where to go.
Sarang glanced down into her small clammy hands, she knew she was partly to blame for letting go of her mom's hands. It terrified her not knowing where their mom had gone, her eyes began to water as her little hiccups came out blocking her from crying out loud. With the one free arm she had left Sarang placed it over her face sobbing quietly.
"Sarang, look at me." Chinhwa's eyes were red like he wanted to cry, but he held it in, tightly grasping onto Sarang's hand.
Sarang looked deep into Chinhwa's gaze with her nose flushed and runny, her eyes glistening from the tears left behind and her small stained face.
"Don't cry...finding mom is easy, she won't even notice we were gone, understand." Chinhwa pulled out his handkerchief wiping away her tears and her dripping nose.
Chinhwa led the way holding Sarang's hand, waking along the open areas away from the crowed. On the way they spotted a cotton candy machine with passel) colors and lights to attract passers by its sweet sent, stopped momentarily Chinhwa unzipped his miniature fanny pack inside was some rankled change and a few coins.
With his stubby fingers he pulled out the money, gently smoothing the rankles out before handing it to the stand owner. Chinhwa ordered a small container of the fluffiest Cotton candy coated in the traditional color of pink and blue. Taking a small break Chinhwa slowly pulled apart the piece of cotton candy as it softly torn apart.
"Ahh..." Chinhwa directed it towards Sarang's mouth as her eyes were swollen from crying earlier, he thought it would at least cheer her up.
Sarang opened her mouth wide open, as Chinhwa plopped it into her gapping mouth. The fluffy cotton candy melted instantly into her mouth, it was so sweet and light she was so amazed how airy it was almost like a cloud, she savored the taste holding onto her cheeks as it slowly went away.
"Chinhwa oppa it's like eating a cloud, it's so sweet and soft."
Her smile became so huge like her spirt, grabbing more and feeding it to Chinhwa to taste the sticky sweetness.
The twins were easily cheered up by the sweetness of the candy, their bouncy checks the shade of rosy red. They finished the very last puff of the cotton candy, they only wished there were a bottomless end to it.
With their small stubby legs they jumped off the wooden bench, heading out where ever the crowd drifted. Luckily the crowd landed where a huge sign posted the whole map of the amusement park, showing all sorts of rides and food stands.
"Didn't mommy say something about a Ferris wheel?" Sarang tilted her head as the hair of her bun was coming undone it swayed the way she had tilted head. Chinhwa took a flier from the board, in it had the travel size map to carry around.
Chinhwa with his stubby fingers pointed at a picture of the Ferris wheel, he remembered his mom had pointed it out when they first arrived. Chinhwa smirked at the picture of the Ferris wheel.
'Piece of cake, we'll find mom in know time.'
Chinhwa's confidence went up, he was for sure they would find their mom. He grabbed Sarang's hands ready to run towards the ride, but before he could just like pulling a pole in the ground he was flung out to match his own force.
"What do you think you doing!!" Chinhwa glared at Sarang the coldness vibrating from him.
"I'm going to burst, the more you pull on me!!" Sarang said, she was usually free spirited and light wight, the type to just go with the flow. This was one of the those rare occasions that she would actually scream or yell. Sarang was doing a little dance, trying to keep herself from peeing, her eyes hastily looking else where for a restroom sign.
