Cable car stopped, the boys could see multiple-layered door was opening and they almost arrived at the sky-viewing deck. There were strairs that they had to climb up before they could reach the main destination. Surely it was exhausting to climb up numerous stair, but seeing many people were enjoying their trip going up without a single complain, they felt obligated to do so.

Huening Kai and Jeongin matched their steps during their journey going up the stairs, they counted how many steps there were and Jeongin would scold Huening Kai if he messed up the count or the step. "Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot..." A synchronised, yet disordered melody was produced by the two best friends, as they linked their arms onto each other and looked down to guide their step.

Right behind them, there was Yeonjun admiring the scenery, eventhough he still couldn't see everything below because they hadn't reach the sight-seeing deck yet. Sometimes he let out chuckles when he saw what Huening Kai and Jeongin were doing together. No doubt it was unnecessary and somewhat stupid, but Yeonjun didn't want to destroy the friendship bonding.

Soobin and his two doctor fellow were left a few steps behind, but they were okay with that since the doctors also had their private conversation inbetween. Still, he never looked away from Huening Kai though he could only see his back covered in yellow hoodie.

After conquering the struggle of climbing up stairs, they finally arrived at the place they had been waiting for.  The blue skyline looked pleasing as it got less clouds and radiated more sunlight in the morning.

"Waaaa, this is nice!" Beomgyu shouted in joy as the wind blowed his light-brown hair. Sure everyone was amazed by the scenery, even the doctors who had lived their entire life in Seoul couldn't turn away from the beauty of scenery from Namsan Tower. It wasn't like they visited the tower often or regulary, occupation and activity on another timeline had them forgetting about the simple and descent entertainment.

"Wait, wait," Hyunjin suddenly glued himself to Soobin, "don't go near the fence! It's too high and dangerous."

Everyone was suprised. "I forgot that you are phobia of height." Soobin said then laughed.

"You didn't have to remind me that, too." Hyunjin wrapped Soobin's long forearm.

"But you looked all cool and stuff that I didn't notice you've been scared of height all this time." Beomgyu went near Hyunjin. "Come on, try to get rid of it for once and show these kids amazing stuffs, okay?"

"O-okay... as long as we don't go near the fence!"

Beomgyu giggled. "The best part of Namsan Tower is the view near the fence." He pat on Hyunjin's head and smiled happily.

"Alright, let's look around for once. If you see something you want to buy or eat, just tell me." Soobin directed.

By six they made a journey around Namsan Tower. There were so many things they saw, not only scenery, but also stalls that sold items such as souvenirs typical of Namsan Tower or others. As if there were no pauses, they always pointed to the horizon, directing themselves to the city and appreciated whatever the object they saw in the eye.

"Let's eat fish cake, shall we?" Soobin asked the others and they immediately agreed.

They came to a food-selling stall, in which they sold fish cake as their special menu. Without more hesitation, Soobin treated his friends one fish cake for each. The long size of wooden stalk that was stabbed through the cake could handle a lot of cake on it. Instead of buying more, they were enough with one.

Soobin instantly noticed there was leftover at the edge of Huening Kai's lips. He shook head, couldn't believe in what he just saw. For him, Huening Kai was a teenager who needed a lot of guidance in no matter what he did. Soobin then quietly plucked the cake scrumb and startled the younger one.
