Mei Chen's face turned pale and she started to hyperventilate as the thought of her going to a high place had triggered her trauma.
When she was in high school, the bullying and the peer pressure were too much for her to handle that she decided to end her life.
She went to their old apartment's roof top and stands on the ledge and was on the verge of falling down.
If not for her dad who, in the nick of time pulled her back up she would've been long gone.
Mei Chen shudder as her legs turned jelly, Kenny caught her and carried her to a nearby bench.
"Mei-Mei, can you hear me."
Kenny worriedly asked. Mei Chen mechanically nodded.
She can hear him, but her mind was focused on her memory of that time. Her eyes were wide and twitching.
It's as if she's inside a bad dream.
"Mei-Mei listen, see this is a flower. Come on now smell the flower."
Kenny softly told her. He held Mei Chen's hand infront of her near her face.
Mei Chen mechanically followed his instruction she inhaled the 'flower' infront of her.
"That's good now, blow the flower."
He said and Mei Chen followed his orders.
"Good, now repeat it. Smell and slowly blow the flower."
He instructed and gradually Mei Chen started to relax.
Seeing that she had calm down Kenny heave a sigh of relief.
He tightly embraced Mei Chen.
"I'm sorry I didn't know. Let's go home now okay."
He whispered to her. He felt guilty for triggering her trauma.
No wonder she only chose to play with rides on the ground.
He failed to notice those things cause he was so focused on making her smile.
He carried Mei Chen in princess style towards the parking lot.
It's a good thing that they went to amusement park on a weekday and there's not much people around.
If not, Mei-Mei would've die out of embarrassment.
"Hey, let me down. I can walk."
She coyly said. Kenny just ignored her and carefully placed her inside the car.
"Wait for me, I'll just buy us drinks."
He said and he ran at the nearby store.
Mei Chen sneakily left the car and dashed towards the shuttle bus waiting outside the park.
When Kenny returned to his car, Mei Chen was nowhere in sight.
He downcastedly drove back to the hotel.
Inside his hotel room he stared blankly at the bright full moon.
He's heart wouldn't stop beating faster all throughout the day and when he found out that little Mei had let him yet again, he felt so sad and dejected.
He let out a sigh. And gently looked at the photo of the girl smiling beautifully among the crowd.
