Chapter 2 — (The Surprise)

3:20 p.m. — Haneul High School

The final bell rang.

Miho instantly grabbed Me-yongi's hand.

“Come on, cutie. We're leaving.”

Me-yongi blinked.

“Where?”

Miho gave her a playful smile.

“Somewhere fun. Don't ask questions.”

Han-seok walked behind them, hands in his pockets.

“She's definitely planning something stupid.”

Miho turned around.

“Excuse me?”

“I said what I said.”

Miho narrowed her eyes.

“You're lucky you're handsome.”

Han-seok smirked.

“Jealous?”

“Of you? Never.”

Soo-ah laughed.

“You two are impossible.”

Seo-jun calmly picked up his bag.

“Can we go before they start flirting through insults again?”

Me-yongi giggled.

“Please.”

Miho immediately linked her arm with Me-yongi's.

“Don't listen to them, cutie. You're coming with me.”

Me-yongi smiled.

“Always.”

Han-seok raised an eyebrow.

“Wow. She's completely under your control.”

Miho smirked.

“She likes me more than you.”

“Everyone likes you more than me.”

“Exactly.”

Han-seok laughed under his breath.

“Baddie.”

Miho winked.

“You know it.”


A few minutes later, the five friends reached a large amusement park near the river.

Me-yongi's eyes widened.

“Whoa!”

Miho proudly spread her arms.

“Surprise!”

Soo-ah looked around excitedly.

“You actually planned this?”

Miho smiled.

“Obviously. I'm intelligent, remember?”

Han-seok scoffed.

“Debatable.”

Miho turned toward him.

“Say that again.”

Han-seok stepped closer with a teasing grin.

“Debatable.”

Miho smiled sweetly.

“Fine. You're paying for everyone's food.”

His smile disappeared.

“That's cheating.”

Everyone laughed.


They spent the afternoon running from one ride to another.

Soo-ah dragged everyone toward the games.

“I'm winning that giant teddy bear.”

Seo-jun looked at the game.

“You've already lost three times.”

“I'm warming up.”

Han-seok smirked.

“That's what losers say.”

Soo-ah pointed at him.

“Then you do it!”

Han-seok stepped forward.

“Move.”

He picked up the ball, threw it once—

THUD.

The target fell.

Soo-ah stared at him.

“No way.”

Han-seok casually took the teddy bear.

“Anything else?”

Soo-ah grabbed it.

“Okay… that was actually cool.”

Han-seok smirked.

“I know.”

Miho rolled her eyes.

“Someone's ego just got bigger.”

Me-yongi laughed.

Seo-jun shook his head.

“You two never stop.”


Later, Miho pointed toward the biggest roller coaster.

“That's next.”

Me-yongi's eyes widened.

“Really?”

Miho smiled.

“Scared, cutie?”

Me-yongi shook her head quickly.

“No!”

Han-seok laughed.

“She's definitely scared.”

Me-yongi looked at him.

“I am not!”

Han-seok leaned closer with a mischievous grin.

“Then prove it.”

Me-yongi crossed her arms.

“Fine!”

Miho immediately smiled.

“That's my girl.”

Seo-jun sighed.

“You're all insane.”

Soo-ah grabbed his arm.

“Come on, smart guy. You're coming too.”

“I knew this would happen.”


When the ride finally started, everyone screamed.

Except Seo-jun.

He sat completely calm.

Han-seok glanced at him.

“Seriously?”

Seo-jun looked over.

“What?”

“You're not scared?”

“No.”

Han-seok smirked.

“Okay, smart guy.”

Meanwhile, Me-yongi was holding Miho's hand tightly.

Miho laughed.

“Still brave, cutie?”

Me-yongi nodded nervously.

“For you? Always.”

Miho's teasing smile softened.

“That's why you're my favorite.”

Me-yongi smiled.

“I know.”

The ride came to an end.

Everyone stepped off, dizzy and laughing.

Soo-ah immediately announced,

“Best day ever!”

Han-seok fixed his hair and smirked.

“Obviously.”

Miho laughed.

“Your hair survived. Congratulations.”

Han-seok looked at her.

“Worried about me?”

“Dream on.”

Seo-jun smiled quietly.

“You guys really are something.”

Me-yongi looked at all four of them.

For a moment, everything felt perfect.

Five friends.

One unforgettable day.

And not a single one of them knew how much their lives were about to change.
