As they arrived at the shop selling cute headbands, Yuchen began to regret his decision. The headbands on display were undeniably cute and had a very girly aesthetic.
He couldn't help but think about how his men would react if they saw him wearing something like that. It might seriously dent his tough and commanding image as their leader, and he dreaded the thought of becoming the subject of their teasing.
However, Yuchen still decided to look around and tried to find a headband that didn't appear overly cute and girly.
Meanwhile, Elena, who previously seemed reluctant due to finding the items childish, surprised Yuchen by genuinely enjoying the selection process.
Despite being 35 years old and projecting an assertive and charismatic demeanor, Elena harbored a fondness for cute things. Her choice of attire, a pink blouse paired with a white skirt, showcased her feminine side, a facet of her personality that often went unnoticed by others.
As they perused the headbands, Elena tried on a few options, meticulously examining herself in the mirror. Finally, she settled on a pink bunny ears headband, which accentuated her playful side. Yuchen, observing Elena's choice, opted for a fox ears headband as a complement to her pick.
He was worried that Elena would make him wear pink bunny ears to match their somewhat couple look, so he grabbed the fox ears immediately.
It still looks match and at least better than bunny ears.
"Alright, now we can ride the rides!" Yuchen exclaimed excitedly as he glanced at Elena, who had now adorned her chosen headband. "Do you want to ride something?" he asked.
"I'm fine with anything," Elena answered curtly. They just need to look like they're on a date right now. So she doesn't have a problem getting on any rides.
"Then how about a roller coaster?" Yuchen suggested, pointing at the ride that was clearly visible from where they stood. It was a classic choice, but he didn't want to miss the chance to experience it together after they came here.
Elena nodded in agreement, surprising Yuchen who thought she might refuse due to it being a scary ride. However, it seemed she had no qualms about going on thrilling adventures.
As they had agreed, Yuchen paid for the tickets this time. After a few minutes of waiting in line, they finally secured seats in the front row and fastened their seat belts.
"Do you want to bet?" Yuchen suddenly turned towards Elena, his hands ensuring her seat belt was properly secured.
Elena flinched slightly at the unexpected movement but didn't protest.
"What do you mean?" Elena asked, curious about his proposal.
"The one who screams first must give a wish card to the winner," Yuchen explained, a broad smile on his face, accompanied by a challenging gaze directed at Elena.
Elena couldn't help but snort when she saw Yuchen's confident and challenging attitude. She had almost forgotten that the man had such a side to him.
"Okay!" replied Elena, accepting the challenge with determination. Even though she hadn't been on a roller coaster in a long time, she was confident that she could keep her composure and appear calm.
After Elena said that, the roller coaster finally moved.
As the roller coaster began its ascent, both Yuchen and Elena appeared calm, but they could feel their hearts pounding wildly in their chests. When the ride reached its breaking point and descended at lightning speed, screams erupted from the people sitting behind Yuchen and Elena.
As the roller coaster continued its rapid twists and turns, and the screams from other passengers grew louder, Elena noticed Yuchen turning to look at her. She met his gaze, still holding her ground. Despite the intense ride, they both managed to stay composed
However, as the roller coaster continued its thrilling journey, a sudden scream came from the front seat.
It was Yuchen.
At first, Yuchen had suggested it to make Elena lose and tease her playfully, hoping to bring them closer.. However, when he saw Elena's stubborn determination not to be outdone, Yuchen finally chose to give in.
After all, they were on a roller coaster, isn't screaming a part of the fun?
When she heard Yuchen let out a scream, Elena finally opened her mouth and screamed too. Their joyful screams echoed through the air as they enjoyed the exhilarating ride.
Eventually, the ride came to an end. As they got off, their hair was a bit messy, but both of them wore happy smiles on their faces.
"Let's see the pictures!" Yuchen said excitedly, inviting Elena to check out the captured moments from their roller coaster ride.
Yuchen chuckled as he saw their cute expressions, while Elena smiled a little, surprised at herself for making such a face.
"Hey, isn't that Nam Elena?"
"Wow! You're right! Then who is the man beside him? Is that her brother Ethan?" asked one of them when they saw Yuchen.
"Of course not! He is indeed handsome but he is not my Ethan oppa!" said the woman who looked slightly annoyed that her friend thought the man was Ethan.
"Then who is he? He is really handsome."
As they looked at the photos, word spread, and Elena, having taken off her sunglasses, was starting to be recognized by people around them.
"Let's go on another ride!" Yuchen said with a triumphant smile, looking at Elena. They had succeeded to look like a couple.
The two of them then left the roller coaster area, heading towards the next ride.
"Oh?! I didn't think you would act like this. I won," Elena said, surprised that Yuchen was acting as if nothing had happened and didn't mention their bet.
Now, Elena had removed her sunglasses, allowing people to recognize her as they walked through the amusement park.
"Really?" Yuchen asked, feigning ignorance of what Elena was talking about. "You screamed," he continued, trying to brush it off
"Wow!" Elena exclaimed, not expecting Yuchen to be so shameless. "I screamed because you screamed first," she emphasized.
"Fine, think of it like that," Yuchen retorted in an annoying tone.
Elena snorted at his response. That man was incredibly shameless!
"No need!" Elena said angrily and immediately accelerated her steps.
As she thought about it more, Elena realized that Yuchen probably assumed she would scream and wanted to take advantage of that with a wish card bet. Perhaps, he wanted to exploit her in some way.
Elena had believed that the roller coaster ride had brought them closer, but now she felt disappointed that he only seemed interested in winning the bet and not mention it when he lost.
How could she forget something like that? This isn't the first time a man has wanted to take advantage of her.
"Hahaha, I'm sorry," Yuchen said, laughing as he ran after Elena. "Yeah, you won. What do you want?" he asked with a smile.
Initially, he just wanted to annoy Elena and see her reaction, hoping to bring them closer, but he didn't anticipate that she would become upset so quickly.
"No need! After all, you can give nothing. I already have everything," Elena answered coldly, the warmth from her previous mood vanished.
The smile on Yuchen's face slowly disappeared as he sensed Elena's coldness
He thought they had become close, but it seems like he was wrong. Seems like, this is not gonna be easy
