Did you know that restaurants inside amusement parks have party rooms?

I didn’t know.

It exists because it is in this world, and it may not actually have existed in your past life.

In the party room where Seong Yu-rin followed, Lee So-yoon’s birthday party was already ready.

This makes you wonder if Seong Yu-rin did all the preparations on her own.

Actually, I didn’t know we would come here, but we had gathered together several times to discuss how to decorate the party room.

… Well, I wasn’t really involved. Although it almost seems like Lee Se-ah and Seong Yu-rin did it all.

Anyway, the interior of the party room decorated through this process was very gorgeous.

It was a party room decorated with Lee So-yoon’s favorite fairy tale concept.

I’m still young, so this is okay.

“Oh oh.”

As each person entered the room, they applauded with admiration.

Lastly, Lee So-yoon, whose eyes were covered by Lee Se-ah, moved to the center.

Following Seong Yu-rin’s glance, we lifted the cake.

As everyone gathered around me, Lee Se-ah removed the hand that covered Lee So-yoon’s eyes.

“braided!”

“happy birthday!”

Lee So-yoon, who was dazzled for a moment and was rolling her eyes, opened her eyes and looked at us with a happy smile.

“Hehe….”

After that, I lit the candles on the cake and turned off the lights in the room.

And, it’s a shame, but at this age, I sing another happy birthday song… .

Lee So-yoon extinguished the flame with a sigh.

Before the lights went out, it was really cute to see Lee So-yoon’s cheeks turn red.

“Thank you everyone! For being close to me, I am grateful so far, and I will always be grateful. Let’s continue to be close friends!”

Wow-

Everyone responded with cheers to Lee So-yoon’s words.

After the light birthday celebration, dinner began.

“Wow. Look at the chicken juice.”

“It’s so delicious.”

I don’t know if it was from the amusement park restaurant or if Seong Yu-rin prepared it separately, but the food tasted very good.

“Now. I applied soft skin.”

“Yes. Thank you.”

I smeared the inside of a moist chicken breast for Lee So-yoon, who was celebrating her birthday.

It was not fried chicken, but a chicken dish that was well cooked by controlling the temperature well, so even though it was chicken breast, it was very soft and easy to eat.

“What? This is shameful~ Apply it to me too!”

Then Hong Yeon-seo, who was drinking pizza, approached.

I didn’t say it wrong. I was really drinking it.

“ruler.”

Hong Yeon-seo smiled happily as if she was satisfied as she gave Lee So-yoon some of the remaining breast meat.

I like it because it’s simple.

The other guys who saw the scene also rushed towards me, and I ended up becoming a chicken disassembly analyzer.

Let’s eat some too. Guys… .

* * *

While he was taking a break and patting his stomach, Se-ah Lee clapped his hands and caught everyone’s attention.

“Now, I have to give Soyoon a birthday present.”

With those words, everyone, including me, went out to look for their bags.

I picked up the bag neatly placed in a corner of the party room and checked its contents.

“uh….”

Oops.

I was so busy playing that I forgot.

When my complexion hardened after looking inside the bag, Lee So-yoon asked with a puzzled look if he was looking at me.

“what’s the matter?”

“Well… I’ll tell you when it’s my turn.”

While other children were giving gifts, I was checking the inside of the bag.

The small gift box containing the clothes prepared as a gift was crumpled, and the picture frame on top of it appeared cracked.

The reason must be the incident that happened in the morning.

Because it was an urgent situation, I threw myself backwards without paying attention to the bag, and the bag ended up on me and Lee So-yoon, which was an unfortunate accident.

As I was wondering what to do with this, everyone had already given gifts to Lee So-yoon, and it was my turn.

When I looked at Lee So-yoon’s face with a very expectant expression, I felt sorry even though it wasn’t my fault.

What can I do? It’s already happened.

Now, without any hesitation, I picked up my bag and headed in front of Lee So-yoon.

“Happy birthday. By the way, I’m talking about the gift I prepared for you today.”

“huh!”

I put down my bag and took out the box.

An ungainly crumpled box was placed in my hand.

“Sorry, it’s a little crumpled.”

“ah…….”

It was Lee So-yoon, blankly looking at the box in my hand.

“Hey. What is your gift?”

“Uh… there was an accident.”

Yoon Ji-woo’s pounding was heard from behind.

I didn’t even need to make excuses, so I was just waiting for Lee So-yoon’s reaction.

“Now, wait a minute. Jiwoo. It’s okay.”

Lee So-yoon shook her head and grabbed the gift box along with my hand.

“I know why it happened like this. The reason I paused for a moment was because I remembered the morning and got a little emotional.”

When I saw Lee So-yoon’s bright smile on my face while saying that, my worried heart seemed to ease.

I handed over the gift box to Lee So-yoon and took out the picture frame.

“And this, um… I’ll change the frame later. But I worked hard on it while thinking of you.”

In the picture, the cute caricature of Lee So-yoon has a sullen expression.

This guy somehow suits this look.

Lee So-yoon, who stared at her character for a moment, took over the frame and hugged it tightly.

“Ugh. No, I like it like this.”

Lee So-yoon continued speaking as she took the picture frame from her arms and ran her hand over the cracked part.

“When I look at this, I’ll keep thinking about Jin’s cool appearance today. I like it like this.”

“……Is that so?”

I gave all the gifts to Lee So-yoon and told the other children why the gifts were broken.

After all, they know about what happened in the morning.

After seeing Lee So-yoon satisfied after a series of conversations, Ji-woo Yoon spoke again.

“What, if that’s the case, tell me quickly.”

As Yoon Ji-woo said that, Yoon Ji-ah hit her on the back.

“Ack! Why are you hitting me?”

“Okay, just stay still.”

They are a brother and sister who always get along well.

* * *

“It’s already dark.”

“I know.”

When I came out of the party room after the birthday party, the world was already covered with a dark sky.

Along with that, it felt like the number of people around me had decreased slightly.

Because there are many guests with children.

Thanks to this, I feel like I can breathe a little easier.

“I’m full, shall we go back soon?”

As soon as I finished speaking, everyone glared at me.

“What, what? Why?”

“I still have the two most important things left, where should I go?”

I had doubts about Lee Se-ah’s words as she criticized me as the representative.

What are the two most important?

It was Seong Yu-rin who came to me with a question mark and gave me a hint.

“The sun has set at the amusement park. Anything on your mind?”

“Uhm….”

“Look over there.”

Hong Yeon-seo, seeing my expression of still not knowing, raised her finger and pointed somewhere.

It was only when I looked in that direction that I realized.

“Aha. Ferris wheel?”

Where Hong Yeon-seo’s finger was pointing was a large Ferris wheel, one of the amusement park’s signatures.

Well, the night view of the amusement park is pretty at night.

Convinced by that, I walked to the Ferris wheel with everyone.

“Anyway, what is the other one?”

“Of course it’s a parade!”

Lee So-yoon said with sparkling eyes.

I see. Is it a parade? . Lee So-yoon has always loved fairy tale-like things like this.

When you talk about the Ferris wheel, parades, and amusement parks at night, these are the most important things that immediately come up.

In fact, I’ve rarely been at an amusement park until night, so I couldn’t think of it.

I was very excited about the parade that would take place in a while, and as I walked while listening to Lee So-yoon’s explanation of various information, I was able to quickly arrive in front of the Ferris wheel.

Like other rides, the majesty of the enormous Ferris wheel welcomed us.

Maybe that’s why I was thinking that the Ferris wheel was spacious enough to fit seven people.

“Sea. Come ride with me.”

“uh?”

Jiwoo Yoon said, standing next to Seah Lee.

As our eyes turned towards the two, Jiwoo Yoon made a puzzled expression.

“Huh? Why? You can get into the next car right away anyway, so it’s better if you get into the wider car.”

Hong Yeon-seo tried to say something in response to Yoon Ji-woo’s words.

Lee Se-ah stopped Hong Yeon-seo.

“…Okay. Anyway, I had something to talk about. That’s good. But it’s a bit burdensome to be alone together. Ah! Well… Ji-ya, do you want to ride with me?”

“Eek! I want to ride with you!”

Yoon Ji-ah, who had resisted for a moment, became obedient after Lee Se-ah whispered something in her ear and stood next to Lee Se-ah.

“hmm…….”

Yun Ji-woo looked at Yun Ji-ah with wide eyes.

He probably wanted to ride the Ferris wheel with Lee Se-ah.

“Then we’ll ride first. See you later.”

Something happened quickly and Yoon Ji-woo, Yoon Ji-ah, and Lee Se-ah disappeared into the Ferris wheel.

Why are they like that?

I had doubts, so I tried to ask the other kids.

When I looked back, I saw three people, excluding me, gathered together and murmuring.

“What are you doing?”

At my words, Hong Yeon-seo and Lee So-yoon rushed to either side of me and led me to the Ferris wheel.

“…Oh! No, haha. It’s no big deal.”

“Ugh! Shall we go too?”

“Uh oh.”

While the next Ferris wheel arrived, I had no choice but to remain still under the silent pressure of the two chattering guys next to me.

It seemed like they knew something, but they didn’t seem to have any intention of telling me.
