"HOT! HOT! HOT!"

 

i complained while using my hand as a fan to bring air to my mouth because my toungue is burning of so much spiciness !

jiyeon passed me a bottled water and i quickly drink it

 

"are you okay?"

 

she asked full of concern.

i, not being able to answer yet, just nod my head in response

 

"you should've have listen to be when i said dont eat it!"

 

she scolded and even though jiyeon sounds angry, i know deep inside she's worrying about me so unconciously, a playful smile was formed on my lips as i felt my tongue getting better now

 

"sorry. i thought its not spicy because you can eat it"

 

i apologized and her angry face soften again

 

"what makes you think i cant eat spicy foods?"

 

"girls dont like eating spicy foods, right?"

 

"maybe. but not me, i like spicy foods!"

 

she informed proudly with a cute innocent smile.

 

"how come?"

 

"i dont know"

 

"you dont know? is it possible that you dont know?"

 

i asked curiously

 

"yes it is. because i really dont know and i cant remember why"

 

she answered. at first, i dont feel like believing her because what she is saying sounds impossible to me but when i met her eyes, i see sadness and at that very moment, i realized that she 's actually telling the truth so i feel sorry. even though i had the urge to apologize, i still didnt  do it  'cause i know it will only bring down the atmosphere and might as well make her even sadder. 

 

i didnt asked her out to make her feel sad so i have to make her smile that's why i cracked a joke even though its not funny

 

"you should have your head check, there might be a problem in it"

 

i tried my best to laugh... hoping she will do the same thing but i guess my joke isnt really funny 

 

-sigh-

 

what a failure.

 

"i already do that but the doctor only talk to my brother and father. when i asked them what is my condition, the answer i get is not what i wanted to hear.. they said its might be the effect of what happened to me years ago which i have no clue to what it is"

 

she detailed, i scratch my head due so much confusion

 

"that must be hard to you"

 

i commented, i feel pity fo her

 

"im used to it so its okay and besides, i know someday when the right time comes. all of my questions will be answered"

 

"i like your way of thinking"

 

"thank you!"

 

she said and take out the foods we bought stall by stall  so we can have something to eat later when we feel hungry

 

"are we still going somewhere?"

 

"yeah, there's still one place i've been longing to go to ever since i was a kid"

 

i answered and start leading the way as she followed me quitely while sneaking some food secretly at the back

 

"ehem"

 

i cleared my throat and she immediately got alarmed then swallowed the food wholely causing her to choked. i hurriedly passed her the bottled water that she bought for me earlier

 

 

"are you ok?"

 

 

its my turn to asked her with concern. i feel like the happenings earlier reverse and also happend to her keke

 

"its your fault!"

 

she blamed the innocent me

 

"eh? why me? i didnt do anything"

 

"because you cleared your throat so i got surprised"

 

"oh really? arasso. mianhe" [sorry]

 

we then continue walking until we reach our destination

 

=End of Myungsoo POV=

 

=Narrator POV=

 

once they stop, jiyeon couldnt hide her amazement rather, she cant believe that L would bring her in the place where they are right now

 

*didnt he say that he wanted to go in a place where he longed to go to when he was still a kid? is he referring to this place?*

 

jiyeon thought to herself as she take a peek at the guy who brought her at the place.

 

=End of Narrator POV=

 

=Jiyeon POV=

 

"uhmm.. L-ssi..."

 

i said to get his attention

 

"yes?"

 

"you told me that we are going on the place where you wanted to go when you are still a kid. but what are we doing here?"

 

after my question, he avoided my eyes and look at the kids whose having a merry time playing at the public playground. yes. we are at the public playground. it was full of children. they were shouting with joy.

the smaller children were playing in the sand boxes, they were digging at the sand and filling their pails.

the biggest boys and girls were having fun riding on swings. some big boys were chinning the bars while others were climbing the big tower and were sliding down. some of them were busy riding seesaws, going up and going down.

 

despite the noise that the kids are making, there's a deafening silence formed between the two of us and for the second time, i glance at L to check if he's gonna answer my previous question but what i see is a forced smile in his lips and a pain in his eyes

 

"they look so happy arent they?"

 

"eh?"

 

i got startled by his sudden talk while i am in the state of hisitating whether to start a conversation with him or not

 

"i dont remember being that happy in my childhood days"

 

he said with his eyes still glued at the kids who are having fun.

 

"w-why is that?"

 

it took all my strength just to release those words and finally, L was able to look at me again to gave answer

 

"why? maybe because i wasnt given a chance to go in this kind of place and make friends"

 

"is that mean you havent been into a public playground before?'"

 

"it not that i havent been here. its just that.. im not allowed to play"

 

"really? but every kid need to experience playing in order to complete their childhood"

 

"you're right. it feels like i skip being a kid and turn into an adult instantly"

 

"why dont they allow you to play?"

 

"long story, all i can say is, they want me to study hard to deserve what they are going to inherit me"'

 

"sounds unreasonable. everything has its own time, and a kid shouldnt be force to be matured easily. they should be given time to develop theirselves and be what they wanted to be, isnt it?"

 

"you know, whenever i see a kid playing happily with the other kids at the playground, i feel jealous. i dont know what it feels like to be free"

 

he said in a sad tone. knowing that he doesnt experince being a kid makes me pity him.

 

those eyes... 

 

it used to shine whenever i see it, never did i thought that behind those shine, there is a hidden sadness and pain. it must be hard for him to keep for a long period of time.

 

L must be very lonely back then. my heart ache a little, he doesnt deserve to be in pain. he's been good to me lately so i have to make him smile even though he is just paying me back today.

 

i bowed my head and think. 

after a while, i came up with something fun

 

 

"L-ssi......"

 

i said in an almost whisper tone

 

"hmmm?"

 

"you said you never play once, right?"

 

i asked and he nod in response

 

"and you didnt experience being a kid"

 

"yeah"
 

i bit my lips before continuing my words

 

"you know, i also didnt experience being a kid"

 

base on his looks, he is shock to my words

 

"really?"

 

"yeah. i cant remember anything about my childhood so i didnt know what i was or if i ever became a kid"

 

 

"i thought you only dont remember why you like spicy things but.. even your childhood? i think you suffered memory lost"

 

"i guess so... but... what i wanted to say is..."

 

i paused and he look at me confused

 

"since you and i didnt experience being a kid.. why dont we take this chance to become one?"

 

i suggested 

 

 

"are you serious?

 

 

"uh-huh"

 

"were not kids anymore. we are a grown up"

 

"i know. that's why we will only became a kids today! lets go!"

 

 

i pulled him with me before he could even complain

 

"there ! i wanna slide in there!"

 

 

i excitedly pointed at the big slide and look at L. i see him hesistating

 

 

"no more hesitating ! lets go !'

 

we climb up to top then i position myself as i took a glimpse to L and see him standing still so i stood up and gave him a look

 

"what?"

 

"you slide first"

 

i ordered. i know he wouldnt slide because he kinda feel embarass

 

why do i know?

 

well... everything is written in his face. no matter how great he is in poker facing i still can identify everything 'cause i know how to use poker face too !

 

"ppali !" [hurry]

 

"arasso" [i get it]

 

he positioned himself

 

"ready?"

 

i asked

 

"are you sure this thing is safe? 'cause you know i-whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

 

 

before he could finish his words and back out, i pushed him already and he slide down while yelling.

i cant help my self but to laugh

 

 

'YA! STOP YELLING ! SLIDING WONT KILL YOU! HAHAHAHAHAHH"

 

 

i yelled and slide down too

 

"WOHOOOOOO~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`"

 

 

i put my hands in the air and enjoy myself until i slam on something just to find out it was L still sitting at the end of the slide with his hands on his heart

 

"ya! what's wrong with you? its not scary. you act like a girl!"

 

i exclaimed

 

"who said im scared? its just that.. i feel something different and i donrt know what it is"

 

 

"it might be excitment or something. come on! lets do it again"

 

"sure!"..

 

 

we once again climb up and i waited for L to sit first but he refused and insist that i should be the first so i have no choice buto do it.

 

when i ws about to slide down myself, i felt a hand on my shoulder and he whisper in my ears

 

"ready?.. one, two...
 

 

he paused and 

 

"THREEE!!!!"

 

he pushed me and i slide down fast making me scream

 

 

"KYAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

 

"YA! DONT SHOUT! "

 

i heard him say

 

"why would i not shout when you push me hard!"

 

i retorted angrily with my finger pointing to him

 

=End of Jiyeon POV=

 

=Myungsoo POV=

 

"hahahhahahhaha" i cant stop my laugher while watching her complain  like a kid. she is way too adorable, it makes me want to more

 

 

"i didnt you push you hard. its just the impact of the slide" i replied

 

"who said slide hs an impact?" she asked with a raised eye brow

 

"ME! i learn it from.. science!"... i answered

 

"FINE! get down here!"

 

"oh? OK"

 

 

i was about to get down using the stairs but even i could even take a single step, she shouted

 

"YA! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?"

 

i stop and look at her with my poker face

 

"didnt you told me to go down?" i answered

 

 

"why are you going to use the stairs? use the slide instead!" she commanded

 

 

"should i?"

 

 

"OF COURSE !"

 

 

"wait. let me think first.. hmmmm..."

 

]

 

 

"YA!"

 

 

she then erupted like a volcano while heading towards me! *oh boy ! i've got a bad feeling about this*

just when she was climbing the stairs, i hurriedly take the slide to escape..
