"Dara, where do you want to go?" Nichkhun asked while driving.
"You decide." Dara answered.
"Wanna go to the amusement park?"
Dara's eyes sparkled. "The place with rides and games?" She asked.
Nichkhun nodded.
"That would be fun."
"To the amusement park then."
"Are they selling chocolate ice cream there?" She asked.
"Yes. There are actually different flavors to choose from."
Dara clapped her hands in excitement.
"You never fail to amaze me, Dara. It seems to me that there are a lot of things you haven't experienced yet. You get curious with small things and become excited with simple experiences." Nichkhun smiled, still focused on the road.
