A Hug
taken from my tumblr~ decided to try to spread it to my blog ahaha~
His eyes danced with excitement as he held on to the stick of the freshly made cotton candy. It was a mix of blue and pink, and purple. An impossible mix. He glanced around, searching through the midst of the sea of humans. Humans, everywhere…he thought. That’s when he saw his angel. Black singlet with a loose white top just reaching above her hips, blue jeans-shorts clutching her hips just right, revealing her pale thighs. But the most alluring of all, her mesmerizing smile that never failed to brighten everything up as she waved at him, sticking out her tongue a little, guilty of coming later than she had planned.
Sorry!!! Got a bit lost on the way here! Rong smiled sheepishly, tugging at the pink floral knot of her hairband.
How could he get mad at her? His heart already melted at the sight of her. I guess we’re quits now haha~ he laughed. Let’s go!!! He wrapped his arms around her and the twosome ran towards the nearest booth. (If you still don’t know, they are at an amusement park. LOL. Gonna be fun eh?)
They sat on rides after rides, played games after games, earning dozens of tokens to redeem all the stuffed-toys they can find. And then, the saw a booth that was… weird.
There was nothing but the words “Couple Challenge” and a small table with aGIGANTIC teddy bear winking cheekily at those who passed by. There were buckets of water in front of the booth(or do we count that as a booth?), and people gathered slowly out of curiosity.
COME ON AND CHALLENGE THE HUG OF EXTREMITIES!!! THE LAST ONE STANDING WILL WIN THIS CHAP BESIDE ME! The man manning the booth (ok. this is punny haha.) pointed to his left, a passer-by who stopped in his tracks in surprise.HAHA! NO! JOKING~ I MEANT THIS CHAP! And he pointed to the right, patting the teddy, sitting there invitingly for a hug.
It’s cute. Both of them said at the same time, smiling at each other at the co-incidence of the timing.
And so, … the man went on to explain the challenge. Rong and Yeol listened intently, occasionally glancing at each other with the understanding look of “It sounds fun~”, eyes opening as big as ever.
Let’s do it! Both said at the same time and laughed. They are getting better at that these days… I wonder why…
The couples stepped into the water buckets and the people in charge added ice into the water, and had mega heat packs held between the two people as they hugged each other to prevent the packs from falling off. If it does, they are disqualified. If they lift their legs out of the water, well, they’re out too.
After 1min, more ice were added to the buckets and couples started to feel the chill, sucking in breath as if it can help the cold. Not. Every minute more ice were added into the bucket of water untill it reached the brim and the knees of the people.
The heat packs were very warm. Duh. They are heat packs after all. And the weather was definitely not helping as the sun shone its glamour across the park, probably laughing at the challengers too.
Thirty minutes passed and a few couples gave up, some fell out of the bucket due to the mystical force of unbalance, one couple even suddenly started arguing with each other. Not really nice to hear nor see, but definitely entertaining when you’ve got nothing better to do at the moment. Passer-bys even took chairs (they managed to find them somewhere) to sit and observe the challenge like panels of judges.
Rong and Yeol hugged each other, glancing everywhere else other than each other due to the awkwardness, their sweat from the heat of the heat pack mixing and their feets were numb. Rong giggled at the amount of sweat Yeol had trickling down his cheeks and neck. You’re ok? she asked jokingly, lifting one hand to wipe her forehead, pointing as she giggled, following the trickle of Yeol’s sweat as it disappeared after seeping through his shirt.
Yeah I am ok. Yeol smiled shyly, trying so hard to not think about the heat, plus the cold.The sight of her smile, I really can’t get tired of it can I?
Rong rested her head on Yeol’s shoulders, breathing lightly. Yeol leaned his head on hers, careful not to put too much weight on her, caressing her hair, the natural waves she had. Their chests so close together, feeling each others heart beat, almost as if it was becoming one altogether. I don’t mind staying like this forever.. both of them thought to themselves at the same time… yet again.
I think they’ll win. Don’t you?
