The recreation ended quickly after that. No, I felt it passed quickly.

Because I was out of my mind after the treasure hunt.

There was little focus on other situations until the recreation time was over. It’s just about matching the assortment.

In fact, I didn’t even do that properly and got hit by Hoyeon.

‘It’ll be okay, right?’

What is okay? I don’t know either.

Is it when something precious is called Riya?

I didn’t regret saying those words at that time. Of course, she and I both knew that that wasn’t exactly wrong.

That we are the most precious beings to each other.

As for the rational thing… I don’t know. In many ways, we were indispensable to each other.

I just said it out loud, and my heart was pounding like crazy, as if there was an earthquake.

“Huh…”

Anyway, recreation is over and it is time to return to the accommodation.

My group members and I returned to our respective lodgings. And I didn’t really see Riya’s face until we parted ways.

The second day of the school trip.

Today was the day to start moving towards distant places in earnest.

And of course, no matter how large the place was, it was not possible to accommodate the entire grade, so the schedule was slightly different for each class.

Our group’s destination today was the park. A huge park with quite a few things to see.

Of course, it wasn’t small, and since it was a park built as a tourist destination, the facilities were good.

There were quite a few useful facilities inside the park.

Things like souvenir shops and cafes.

Actually, I liked it better this way. Rather than moving around hard because you are full of other activities.

Being bored wasn’t really a problem. In the past, there was a time when I stayed next to Riya for 5 hours without saying a word or doing anything.

Once we boarded the bus to the park, it was a quick ride there.

Only 30 minutes had passed and we had arrived at the park.

“Then come to this location by the meeting time.”

After the teacher finished speaking, all the groups that came here dispersed and started walking through the park.

Maybe it was because the destinations were divided, but the number didn’t seem to be as large as I thought.

The same goes for our group.

Without saying a word, we turned toward the walking path next to the large lake in the center of the park.

It was boring.

“I should have brought a sword.”

“Will it work?”

I meant it.

Honestly, I thought it would be better to swing the sword at this time.

That was more efficient.

“You don’t like Sihyeon? Now.”

At that time, Riya tilted her head to the side and asked me.

Now my heart isn’t pounding like crazy like it was yesterday. As usual, a loose sense of satisfaction filled my stomach.

A sense of calm and stability as usual.

felt good.

“…No. It’s not that I don’t like it.”

I really didn’t hate it, so I answered that way, and Riya nodded slightly and looked forward again without saying anything.

When I looked to the side, I saw a faint smile that was really hard to notice.

Riya also didn’t seem to particularly dislike this situation.

“….”

The silence that came that way.

And about 20 minutes later. I thought about it.

There was really nothing to do.

Of course, that didn’t mean I couldn’t endure it. It’s just an impression.

To be more precise, I should have said I was worried.

Concern for Hoenn.

“Please speak up. Is it all communism?”

“Everyone is fine except you, but why.”

Riya and I being together without saying a word is something we have done since long ago.

Yuwon was holding a notebook and writing about a novel, so he didn’t look particularly bored.

The most boring thing here is Ho-yeon, who likes to talk. He was a person who liked talking to people.

In other words, I hated being alone and still.

He muttered as if he was bored with the continued silence.

“Want to write a novel together?”

“I am not you.”

“What am I.”

I’ve read only a handful of novels, but I’m writing one.

It was the same story as asking a science major to write a liberal arts student’s thesis.

“Ha…”

After that, Hoyeon let out a sigh and continued to look around as if he was trying to relieve his boredom.

Perhaps he had resigned himself to it, but he didn’t say anything anymore.

I just keep looking around.

Of course, since there were a lot of students, they were the most visible, and occasionally other people could also be seen.

And a decent-sized building in front of the road we were walking on.

Looking at the sign hanging in front of the building, I could tell its purpose.

“Souvenir hall?”

It was none other than a souvenir shop.

Even though it is a small store in the park, it is a little bit of sweetness in a place where there is nothing.

You can kill some time just by looking at the souvenirs inside the building.

“Let’s go there!”

“Do you have money?”

“I brought the card, just in case.”

With that, we headed straight to the souvenir pavilion in front.

The size of the building was not that big. A decent size, about the size of a decent two-story house.

When I opened the door and went inside, I saw a very nicely decorated interior.

There were students who came before us, but there were not many of them, so it was comfortable.

“Yuwon, let’s go upstairs with me.”

“Suddenly?”

And as soon as we entered the building, Hoyeon glanced at us and immediately took Yuwon up to the second floor.

It’s nice to be with Riya, though. Why all of a sudden?

“Good. Atmosphere.”

As she said, the atmosphere was good.

It was a small, clean space with an atmosphere reminiscent of Jeju Island.

As I was appreciating the atmosphere, Riya pointed to a souvenir nearby and asked.

“How about this?”

“Dolhareubang?”

What she pointed to was a small key ring in the shape of dolhareubang.

A small-shaped key ring with Dolhareubang, of course, made of characters. The shape was quite cute.

“Cute.”

“Good.”

After saying that, Riya immediately picked up the key ring.

I’m only telling you now, but Riya’s surprising hobby is collecting keyrings and dolls.

Among them, if it is a special keyring, I buy it right away. That’s why I have a separate box of keyrings at home.

“Sihyeon, this.”

And not long after, Riya came carrying a bottle.

A bottle that seemed to have been taken from the refrigerator in the corner.

Basically, it was similar to the Vita 300, but the shape of the bottle looked quite funny, being in the shape of a dolhareubang.

“I’ll buy it for you.”

“This?”

“Anything is okay.”

He meant that if he brought me this Vita 300 or anything else, he would buy it for me.

At those words, I smiled slightly and pointed to the key ring she was holding.

“Then I’ll buy it.”

“Umm…Oh, no.”

“Why? He said he would buy Riya too.”

“I will buy it.”

I found it cute to see her speaking firmly, so I smiled and took the Vita 300 from her hand.

“Ah…”

“I will live.”

“..I’m going to buy it secretly.”

Does it have to be bought secretly as a gift?

Riya and I smiled at her who said she wouldn’t give up and went up to the second floor.

The checkout counter is probably on the second floor, and there are Yuwon and Hoyeon.

“Hey! How about this?”

“It’s ugly. It was like that originally.”

“You’re speaking harshly.”

When I got up to the second floor, Yuwon and Hoyeon were playing. There was a headband with a tangerine written on Hoyeon’s head.

Why on earth is that guy using something like that?

“Sihyeon, have you chosen everything?”

“Okay.”

Hoyeon took off the headband she was wearing on her head and said that, then looked at the Vita 300 in my hand and made a strange expression.

What to eat?

“I have nothing else to live for.”

The object Hoyeon was holding was a horse-shaped doll.

A full-bodied character horse doll that is roughly the size of a human head.

“What are you going to write?”

“No, Haryeong is going to give it to you.”

Well, that’s right, I did something when a kid who didn’t even like dolls suddenly bought one.

For reference, in the case of Yuwon, I chose a simple notebook with an orange cover.

It seems like the notebook I was using recently was almost all used up and I needed a new one.

While I was looking at the two, I saw a bracelet in the nearby accessory zone.

It was a small bracelet with models of snowflakes and tangerines.

‘Should I buy this?’

It reminded me of a snowflake, and it was like Riya. I wanted to buy it more than anything, but I didn’t have anything suitable, so it was difficult, but I ended up with a pretty good one.

I went to the checkout counter with a drink and bracelet and immediately swiped my card.

The prices… even though it was a souvenir shop, it wasn’t that expensive because it only had drinks and bracelets.

“Sihyeon, take it.”

Riya, who had already finished paying for the two items, offered one item to me.

It’s none other than a bracelet.

The bracelet I bought had only the white snowflake shape changed to black.

“Then me too.”

As soon as I received the bracelet, I also gave her the bracelet I was holding in my hand.

How can we think this way?

When I smiled slightly, Riya seemed to have had similar thoughts as well, smiling slightly and putting the bracelet on her wrist.

Because my wrist was so thin, there was a lot of empty space, but fortunately it didn’t seem to fall out.

“I miss Haryeong…”

We heard Hoenn say something like that from behind, but Riya and I just ignored it and left the souvenir shop and returned to the meeting place.

There’s a little bit of time left, but it’s not a lot, so it’ll be okay.

“There’s still time left, so come back some more.”

It wasn’t.

In the end, we had to go around the park one more time before we were able to get back on the bus.
