The atmosphere, which had almost sunk into silence, transformed as we arrived at the amusement park.

"Wow..."

I couldn't help but marvel.

The entrance was swarming with people waiting in line – friends, families, couples, and more.

I could even spot a few heroes flying overhead, seemingly on standby in case of a villain attack.

It had been a long time since I saw such a crowd.

And it was my first time being part of it.

"There are so many people here..."

Song Soo-yeon, too, seemed surprised, scanning the crowd just like I was.

I hadn't expected this.

But that didn't mean I felt bad about it.

On the contrary, I began to feel more excited.

Everyone here shared a common emotion.

Their positive feelings merged to create a lively atmosphere.

Today seemed like it would be fun.

"It looks like we're going to have fun, right?"

I asked Song Soo-yeon with a smile.

She looked up at me and nodded subtly.

-Thud.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, she was pushed towards me and clung onto my arm.

Instinctively, I checked on Song Soo-yeon, looking for any signs of theft or ill intent from the contact.

...It just seemed like a genuine mistake.

I clicked my tongue bitterly.

I needed to let go of these habits.

Then, I became aware of the sensation on my arm.

"......."

Song Soo-yeon was still gripping my arm. Without thinking, I blurted out.

"....Are you going to hold on to me forever?"

"........."

Without any harsh words or response, she slowly released my arm.

".......?"

I kept sensing subtle changes in her behavior.

Was this a good sign?

Whatever it was, her resistance towards me seemed to have lessened.

"........"

Lost in thought, I smiled.

Maybe someday, her aversion to men, which could almost be seen as misandry, would change.

I decided not to dwell on it too deeply.

It wasn't a big deal.

Today was about having fun.

I said,

"Let's go stand in the line."

After entering, we stood in front of a locker.

"Put in the lunchbox... Anything else to store?"

She zipped up her thin tracksuit to the top, shaking her head in denial.

Seeing her struggle with the sudden cold made me feel sympathetic.
