Namjoo went out to take a walk at the river. It was just a few minutes away from her grandma's house. Namjoo sat at the river bank and picked up some stones

Namjoo-You are so stupid. I hate you. Go and die. Rest in peace in that hell. Aishh I'm going crazy!

"Ouch!"

Someone yelled and made Namjoo flustered as well. She got up from the bank and looked around and found a guy behind her, rubbing his head

Namjoo-Oh my God! Are you okay?
Kyungsoo-Well, I'm still breathing. I think yes
Namjoo-I am serious. Where does it hurt?
Kyungsoo-Here

Kyungsoo pointed at his chest

Namjoo-That's not funny mister
Kyungsoo-Do
Namjoo-What?
Kyungsoo-Mister Do. I am Do Kyungsoo
Namjoo-None of my business
Kyungsoo-I just gave an introduction
Namjoo-Let's go

Namjoo pulled Kyungsoo's hand away

***

Namjoo-Thank you

Namjoo took the ice pack and brought it to Kyungsoo

Namjoo-Come here
Kyungsoo-I can do it by myself

Kyungsoo grabbed the pack from Namjoo. She shrugged

Namjoo-Up to you. Are you sure you don't need ointment and other side medicine?
Kyungsoo-*shook* No. It was just a small stone
Namjoo-But you screamed like it hurt so much!
Kyungsoo-Of course it did before

'Aishh this guy is so frustrating.Always talk back!'

Namjoo gritted her teeth

Kyungsoo-I am fine. Don't worry
Namjoo-Well, I am still sorry for that. I promise to not do that anymore
Kyungsoo-*chuckled* By the way. What is your name?
Namjoo-Namjoo
Kyungsoo-Ouh. Did you just move here?
Namjoo-Nope. My sisters and I are staying at our grandma's for this summer break
Kyungsoo-I see

Namjoo-I think I need to leave now. Do you want anything else? Drink, food?

Kyungsoo politely shook his head

Namjoo-Then I'll get going
Kyungsoo-Sure. Take care
Namjoo-You too

Namjoo bowed her head and left the store. Kyungsoo sent her away only with his eyes

Hayoung-Do you understand the map?
Bomi-I think I do

Chorong-You will never find the way. Just stop wasting your time already

Chorong interrupted

Eunji-Chorong unnie, you know how to read this map right?
Naeun-Right. Grandpa used to teach you before
Chorong-I.. I forgot already
Bomi-Chorong, help me please
Chorong-I am serious. I don't understand what grandpa taught me. It was long time ago. You better forget about it

Chorong waves her hand in the air

Chorong-Grandma, I want to meet an old friend. See you later!

Chorong shouted and grabbed her slingbag

Hayoung-Maybe grandma knows

Everyone looked at Hayoung

Hayoung-What?

Seunghee-What makes you guys so busy?
Eunji-Hi grandma
Hayoung-Grandma! Do you know how to read this map?
Seunghee-This? Isn't this the map your grandfather made long time ago?
Bomi-Yes! I found it in the store at ceiling *grinned
Seynghee-Oh great. Your grandfather used to say the treasure are so lot. Yet no one ables to find it
Naeun-That is cool! We can be the first to find them!

"Chorong!"

Someone yelled out Chorong's name and she turned back. Her lips gaped apart

Chorong-Yukwon!

The old friends hugged

Yukwon-Eomeo look at you now. You are getting chubbier!
Chorong-What? *gasped* Seriously? *touched her cheeks* Like, are you serious?
Yukwon-But you are still beautiful though
Chorong-Nonsense

Yukwon-*peeked* What is that in your hand?
Chorong-*looked down* Oh this? My planner for our stay here. But my sisters rejected them all *pouted
Yukwon-Ouh look at that pout. Poor you babe
Chorong-It's okay! Because I will still end up doing it. But with you!
Yukwon-Me? What are we suppose to do by the way?
Chorong-I really wanna do everything we did during our childhood time. I really miss to go to the theme park
Yukwon-Wanna get a taste?

Chorong shrugged her shoulders as Yukwon pulled her hand

After some fun ride, they stopped at Yukwon's booth to catch a drink

Yukwon-Hi Joonmyeon!

The guy named Joonmyeon smiled at Chorong and Yukwon

Joonmyeon-Hi. Your friend?
Yukwon-Whoa is she that important? Yeah she is a friend of mine! So what?!
Chorong-Shh. Yukwon ahh everyone is looking *whispered
Joonmyeon-*chuckled* It's okay. People in this town are used to her
Yukwon-Shut up and do your work
Joonmyeon-Okay boss. Drinks?
Yukwon-Chocolate bubble tea and...
Chorong-Just free-sugar smoothie

Joonmyeon-Free-sugar smoothie?Are you sure you will get full with free-sugar drink?
Yukwon-She is on diet because she gained a lot of weight ever since she stayed in Seoul. So, yeah!
Chorong-Hey! *yelled

Chorong's eyes rounded bigger. Joonmyeon just laughed at them. Yukwon plastered a 'what?' face on while Chorong's cheeks were burning already

Joonmyeon-Just in a few minutes

Chorong-How dare you!
Yukwon-Why? Are you embarrassed?
Chorong-Of course. You don't have to say it in front of him
Yukwon-Tch! You won't feel such if there are no butterflies in your stomach
Chorong-*frowned* Means?
Yukwon-You're falling, falling for his love

Yukwon sang in the melody of Mr.Chu

Chorong-Haha so funny! Anyways, is this your booth?
Yukwon-Yeah. It's getting better than before right?
Chorong-Everything has changed
Yukwon-Maybe if you leave for another 10 years, you'll see me at the shop next to the Seven Eleven in the town
Chorong-This booth is closing down?
Yukwon-This theme park is closing down, Chorong

Chorong gasped in disbelief

Chorong-What?!
Yukwon-This town is having crisist since last two years. Government is focusing too much on the new developement. We are abandoned by them since years ago. This theme park doesn't draw attention anymore. People mostly go to Gongbun Estate Carnival. It is like 10km away from our town. Long sad story right?

Joonmyeon-Your drinks are here

Joonmyeon put down two glasses on the counter

Yukwon-Thank you Joonmyeon
Joonmyeon-You are welcome

Chorong-That is a no way
Yukwon-Sadly it's happening Chorong
