Miso squints at the dark space shoe before running into the living room.

“Miso, we’re about to leave!” says Sungjin.

“Maybe he’s trying to find Jae’s shoe,” says Dowoon thoughtfully.

The Shiba Inu pokes around the house items with his furry paws, hoping to unearth the missing shoe. He manages to cover the living room, kitchen and the laundry place when a pair of arms scoop him up.

“You’re a kindly one, you know?” mentions Jae. “But it’s okay, we really don’t have the time.”

Upon reaching the doorway, the boy passes Miso to Wonpil in order to wear his shoes. He insists on the dark space one, thus using a checkered one for the other half. A mismatch, but at least it is not his first time going out like this.

“Miso, guess where we’re going today,” says Wonpil, bringing the dog into a short hug.

The van rumbles, and though it takes some time, they arrive safely. The weather remains good for the video shoot. It’s Yongma Land, the abandoned amusement park. It’s gaining popularity for photos and videos due to its nostalgic look. They set up quickly, playing their title track and adjusted accordingly. Of course, they get well-timed breaks.

During one of these, Jae retrieves Miso from the staff members, holding the leash.

“This amusement park isn’t functioning anymore, but choose something and we’ll go take a seat,” says Jae with an imperceptible grin.

The Shiba Inu drags the boy to the giant teacups. And so they take a seat.

“How do you like this place?” asks Jae with wonder. “You probably haven’t seen this sort of place before.”

Miso simply the boy’s face, causing him to laugh. After all, why should he pose such serious questions to their dog? The peace is interrupted as the other boys catch up, jokingly accusing the oldest of stealing Miso for himself.

It’s late by the time they arrive at their apartment unit, and some of them are ready to collapse in bed. Jae is one of them, misplacing his balance and falling over a pile of clothes he left behind in his room.

This is how he finds his missing dark space shoe.

“Oh,” is all he mumbles. “Now I’m a real silly.”
