The 5 year old girl was clinging to her mom while holding her tears. She pouted and looked around the place with teary eyes. Her mother looked down to her and tapped her shoulder gently.

"Aren't you going to play?"she asked, squatting down to match her daughter's eyes. The girl shook her head while pouting. The lady looked backwards and pointed towards the big slide.

"Look at that. It looks fun, isn't it?"she held the girl's hand and showed her around the playground. She tailed her mother, not even sparing at the other kids who were smiling at her.

"Mom... i wanna go home..."she whined. The lady sighed and said with a soft voice. "No, Jihyun... you must go and play with them... go and make some friends, okay?"she caressed the girl's hair.

Jihyun shook her head again but the lady insisted with a big smile. At last, she obeyed her mother and went near the other kids. She smiled but she didn't know what to do or who to play with.

So she just went to sit on a nearby bench and hung her head low. She played with her tiny fingers and huffed after feeling a little bored. Until she heard a cute voice beside her.

"Aren't you going to play?"a boy who was around her age asked. She looked over to him and stared at him with questioning eyes. "I don't have anyone to play with."she pouted.

"Why?"he asked again.

"My family just moved here... i don't have any friends yet..."

"Then play with me!"he offered his hand. She stared at it and her lips slowly curved up. "Really?" The boy nodded. She took it without any hesitation.

They ran to the slide and played together, not even knowing each other's name. It went on like that... until Jihyun's mother told her to go home. She wanted to ask his name, but unfortunately, he was out of her sight.

"Oh? He's gone..."she pouted.
