"Sunoo I don't think this is a good idea."

We were standing in front of the hospital beside the forest. The pathway to the forest was on the other side. And this side had huge walls. But there was a hospital that had an opening from its yard to the forest. Now the tricky part was to get there.

"Why not? It will be fun! Please, my Lee." He whined.

"I've never even been inside this hospital or the forest, what if we get lost?" I hissed at him.

"Then I'll be stuck with my girlfriend in a dark forest at night. How does that sound?" He wriggled his eyebrows.

"It sounds disgusting."

It sounded something straight out of a romance novel. I slapped myself internally at that thought. This was Sunoo, not Heeseung or Sunghoon or Jungwon or...you know what? I'll that sentence alone. But the thing was, he was still calling me his girlfriend. I thought he was messing with that girl in the Cafe.

We sneaked inside the hospital gates and towards the yard. There weren't many people around. This place wasn't that well known compared to other private hospitals in the city. And we realized midway that we didn't even need to sneak around. We could just take a stroll here and go straight to the gates connecting the yard and the forest. And that's exactly what we did. The gate wasn't huge. It was just a small iron gate that our house had. And that too unlocked. I did not know if I should rage about the safety hazard or be happy in the moment.

We slipped past the gate and finally breathed an air of relief. My wish was finally on the verge of fulfilling and I was more excited than Sunoo.

"Yes! Thank you Sunoo!" I jumped in circles in happiness.

Sunoo laughed at my enthusiasm. "Hey give me your bag." He said and went to take my bag but I swatted his hand away.

"I'm good don't worry about it." I said and went forward but he grabbed my bag from behind me and I halted to a stop.

"Haha this is nice." He said and tugged the bag.

"Ah Sunoo please lets go inside I can't wait any longer." It was my turn to whine.

"Okay okay." He said and walked alongside me.

We took the small path that looked just enough to fit a group of 4 to 5 people. There were trees everywhere around. Thin and tall like pine trees. Or for a better picture, the forest in Narnia. The sky still had a speck of light in it enough for us to see the path ahead. The weather was cool and windy. I squealed inside at the reality of me standing in the forest.

"Go forward. I'll take a picture of you." He said and pushed me ahead.

I happily agreed and hopped forward. Sunoo took lots of pictures of me alone and then took my bag from me to take better ones. Then I proceeded with his and our selfies. We were  quite deep inside that we couldn't see the hospital anymore. But we had a plan. We were going to go all the way to the gate on the other side and then out of here. It was only about 1 km away and we both could easily handle it.

"You always wanted to come here right?" Sunoo asked me after a moment of comfortable silence.

"Yes. Since I joined college." I said.

"What did you imagine doing here?" He asked.

"Listen to music, talk to the person I came with and just experience this." I said happily.

"Then listen to music." He said.

I frowned at him. "No. That's for only the time I'm alone or lonely. And I'm neither right now."
