The sunlight glows warmly, bathing the funfair in gold. I stretch lazily as the car stops, the engine sighing to silence. Deniz steps out first. I step down after him, eyes widening at the big board gleaming above the entrance. The laughter, the bright rides, the scent of popcorn and cotton candy—it all hits me at once.
"Woah…" I murmur, taking it in.
Deniz steps closer, voice hesitant. "Please wait… I'll buy the entry passes."
I nod, letting him walk ahead, but my gaze drifts around. Where are all the children?
Families? Instead, I only see couples—Alphas, Omegas, Betas—holding hands, laughing together. In this ABO world, two boys in love walking hand in hand is normal, and yet it still makes my chest flutter.
Deniz returns, face drawn, a hint of sadness in his eyes. "I… I'm sorry. We can't go inside."
I blink, confused.
"Why?" I ask immediately, brow furrowed.
He hesitates, then whispers, "Today… it's couple day. The funfair only allows couples to enter."
