“…….”

“…….”

The inside of the Ferris wheel that Se-ah Lee, Ji-woo Yoon, and Ji-ah Yoon were riding was quiet and quiet.

Lee Se-ah looks expressionlessly out the window, and Yoon Ji-woo looks at Lee Se-ah. And Yoon Ji-ah looks at the two in turn, looking somewhat anxious.

Yoon Ji-woo, who kept trying to say something with her mouth shut, seemed unable to get the words out as she looked at Yun Ji-ah next to her.

About five minutes had passed since the Ferris wheel departed from the ground, and Ise-ah’s mouth, which had been tightly closed, opened.

“Jiwoo.”

The sight of Lee Se-ah calling her name without turning her gaze gave Yoon Ji-woo a somewhat cold look.

“huh.”

“Why did you want to ride the Ferris wheel with me?”

“Well, I want to ride with you?”

Ise-ah shook her head and opened her mouth again.

“Why did you want to ride the Ferris wheel ‘just’ with me?”

“…….”

Yoon Ji-woo’s mouth was blocked at the question with just one additional letter.

To hear Yoon Ji-woo’s answer, Lee Se-ah finally turned her gaze to look at Yoon Ji-woo.

Yoon Ji-woo, who met those shining eyes, clenched her fists.

Meanwhile, Yun Ji-ah quietly went to the opposite corner and sat down so as not to disturb the two.

“Then how about this?”

“……huh?”

“Last time, when you went to see a movie with me. Why did you say that in front of Jin?”

Yun Ji-woo bit her lip.

After observing Lee Se-ah’s thoughts for a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind and took a step forward before speaking.

“Sea.”

“huh.”

“I like you. I’ve liked you ever since I was young. Let’s go out with me.”

At that moment, Yun Ji-ah, who was watching from the side, made the sound of swallowing her breath.

However, the two were making eye contact without taking their eyes off each other.

“……Would you like to answer the question first?”

“This is my answer. Seaya.”

Heat rose from Yun Ji-woo’s eyes.

Se-ah Lee felt Ji-woo Yoon’s strong desire for her.

“I see.”

From Yoon Ji-woo’s answer to his question, it became clear what kind of thoughts he had in accepting Seong Yu-rin’s proposal.

Also, what were your thoughts that led you to lie to yourself and call me there?

Although I knew it to be close to 100%, I personally confirmed it.

Ise-ah turned her head again.

Then, I finally moved my lips again, which had not left, and forced out the words I didn’t want to say.

If I say this, isn’t it something I can’t take back?

Lee Se-ah’s decision, made after a short period of time but deep psychological consideration, was a firm decision.

“I’m sorry, I can’t accept it. Your heart.”

I didn’t want to hurt you.

Se-Ah Lee has been putting off this moment as long as possible.

In the end, someone is bound to get hurt one way or another.

She liked Yoon Ji-woo, who was her childhood friend, as a friend.

On the other side of the arrow, different emotions were being sent.

The word “Ah” was heard from Yun Ji-woo’s mouth.

Yun Ji-ah looked at the two with shaking eyes.

“……Because of Seo Yi-jin?”

“………huh.”

Tap, tap, tap.

Ji-Woo Yoon gradually narrowed the distance between him and Se-Ah Lee.

Yun Ji-ah, who had been quietly watching the two, suddenly stood up.

“Now, wait a minute. Brother?”

Yoon Ji-ah also seemed very agitated, to the point where she called Yoon Ji-woo by a name she didn’t normally call her.

I wonder if Yoon Ji-woo will say something to Lee Se-ah. He tried to cling to Yoon Ji-woo as Yoon Ji-ah tried to stop him.

“It’s not like that, so I’m out of it.”

Yoon Ji-woo shook off Yoon Ji-ah and stood right in front of Lee Se-ah.

Se-ah Lee,

I was still looking out the window.

There was a bit of regret toward Yun Ji-woo in those eyes, but they were filled with a deeper determination than that.

“Do you like Seo Yi-jin that much?”

Yoon Ji-woo continued to pour out words to Lee Se-ah, who was silent.

With that handsome face frowning.

“What am I worse than that guy? He probably doesn’t even like you? And, what about the other kids? But why is he so quiet…?”

“Stop it. Jiwoo….”

With so much heat rising in her head, Lee Se-ah couldn’t bear to look at Yoon Ji-woo, who was spouting out random words about people who weren’t here.

“Oh, oppa. No matter what, what if you talk like that? You and Jin are friends….”

“Friend. Ha. Yes, friend. …Friend.”

Frowning, Jiwoo Yoon sat down next to Seah Lee.

“I’m sorry. I ended up swearing at kids who aren’t here for no reason.”

Seeing Yun Ji-woo mocking herself, Lee Se-ah turned her face and looked at him.

“Okay, I understand. I understand.”

It was Yoon Ji-woo, muttering with her eyes closed.

The excitement seemed to have subsided, but at first glance, the situation did not seem to be okay.

“Isn’t that going to change in the future? Have I made a mistake now?”

“……Ha. Since when? Why? Seo Yi-jin?”

“What am I lacking?”

Yun Ji-woo’s muttering continued.

Isea was confused about what to say.

Should I comfort him or push him further?

If you choose the former, won’t it seem like you’re giving leeway for no reason and it’ll be harder for Yoon Ji-woo?

If you choose the latter… , won’t it be possible to be friendly with him anymore?

Is it difficult to remain as a comfortable friend as before?

Ise-ah thought this in her heart, but smiled self-deprecatingly.

Just because you pretend like nothing happened. That doesn’t mean nothing happened.

Although he doesn’t know himself, he wonders how Jiwoo Yoon feels when he looks at himself.

If you change your perspective and think that Lee Se-ah confessed to Seo Yi-jin and then got dumped like this… … .

Isea stopped thinking any more.

Just thinking about such terrible thoughts and assumptions made me feel sick to my stomach.

In the end, all problems will be solved only when Yoon Ji-woo’s feelings for him cool down.

Lee Se-ah stood up and approached Yun Ji-ah.

Yoon Ji-woo, who was left alone, put her head between her legs and continued muttering to herself.

Yurin will be sad.

What if Yoon Ji-woo can’t overcome her heartbreak and leaves the group like this?

Se-Ah Lee held Ji-Ah Yoon’s hand tightly.

And then he whispered to Yun Ji-ah.

Please comfort Yoon Ji-woo.

The words of comfort he offered would not have reached Jiwoo Yoon anyway. On the contrary, it might only increase resistance.

After hearing Lee Se-ah’s words, Yun Ji-ah approached Yoon Ji-woo’s side.

“brother….”

Yoon Ji-ah comforted Yoon Ji-woo in an awkward manner.

Although they always bickered, their relationship was good in the end.

Yoon Ji-woo’s eyes lit up as she received the awkward comfort from Yoon Ji-ah.

The eyes were determined for something. Yun Ji-woo’s eyes were burning even stronger than before she confessed to Lee Se-ah.

Because his head was buried in his knees, he didn’t notice the other two present.

* * *

When the Ferris wheel’s time in the sky is over and it arrives back on the ground.

Their mood wasn’t that bad.

Although Se-ah Lee was reluctant to make eye contact with her, she felt reassured by the sight of Ji-woo Yoon smiling awkwardly.

Yoon Ji-woo seemed to be getting better faster than expected.

Won’t I get my energy back after spending this holiday like this? Lee Se-ah painted a hopeful future.

While we were having a simple conversation, the next Ferris wheel reached the ground.

Seo Yi-jin and his group walked out from there.

Lee So-yoon, Sung Yu-rin, and Hong Yeon-seo looked between Lee Se-ah and Yoon Ji-woo with worried eyes.

However, all three were puzzled by the atmosphere that surprisingly did not look bad.

Lee So-yoon and Seong Yu-rin covered their chests. It’s the same movement, but with a very different feel.

And Hong Yeon-seo approached Seo Yi-jin and smiled. As if they were saying something interesting.

Meanwhile. It was Yoon Ji-woo looking at Hong Yeon-seo like that.

* * *

“Wow, that’s high.”

If this Ferris wheel existed in a past life, it would definitely have been recorded as the largest in the world.

Even though the three people riding with me couldn’t concentrate at first because they were talking about various things, the night view from high up was so beautiful that when we got high in the sky, they were glued to the window and looking out like kids.

After getting off the Ferris wheel, I slowly got tired and headed out to the main street where the parade was taking place.

Even though it was nighttime, a bustling crowd of people welcomed us.

The other children decided to watch from a little distance and followed Lee So-yoon, who was excitedly pulling me, into the crowd.

I feel like I want to see it over there too.

Still, since it was my birthday, I decided to hang out at least this much.

By the way, you probably won’t be able to see Lee So-yoon, who is short… .

“Shall I listen?”

“You’re listening. You’re talking about someone like a burden. Um, should I give you a piggyback ride? Should I give you a ride on a horse? There are a lot of other things you can say.”

Lee So-yoon grumbled but left her body to me.

I gave Lee So-yoon a ride on a wooden horse just as he wanted.

Anyway, there are already so many children riding on horses for their parents that it won’t be that noticeable.

At first glance, Lee So-yoon also looks like a child.

“Huh!? No, it’s high!”

There was so much fuss about the subject of riding the Ferris wheel that reached the sky earlier.

As I was waiting for the parade, Hong Yeon-seo came up to me and nudged my arm.

“Wow. I can’t see well either?”

so. Are you asking me to ride with you? .

“……. I guess it’s difficult for two people.”

“tooth.”

It was Hong Yeonseo who clicked her tongue.

At that time, Jiwoo Yoon intervened. He literally put his body between me and Hong Yeon-seo.

“Then should I give you a ride?”

“……Huh? Umm.”

Hong Yeon-seo was embarrassed and stuttered.

Yoon Ji-woo looked at Hong Yeon-seo who hesitated and bent her legs.

“Come on, go up.”

“Oh, no. Just over there… Ah, I think it’ll be okay if I go up on the bench and look.”

Perhaps because Yun Ji-woo’s attitude was burdensome, Hong Yeon-seo refused.

Seeing Hong Yeon-seo leaving, Yoon Ji-woo stood up, patting her legs.

Then he looked at me and said.

“Hey. We’re friends, right?”

what. Suddenly bland.

“Huh. Right.”

Yoon Ji-woo chuckled after hearing my answer.

“Yes, that’s right. We are close friends.”

“Uh-huh.”

Yoon Ji-woo noticed So-yoon Lee’s attention and spoke in a low voice so that only I could hear.

“Friends share even a single bean, right?”

“……what?”

It was Yoon Ji-woo, who followed Hong Yeon-seo, leaving behind an incomprehensible sound.
