Chapter 11 - Happiness never comes alone

Ho Su Min, Jeong Tae Ho, Park Nuri, and Kim So Hee, after sitting in the store, went for a walk around the neighborhood. Suddenly, Park Nuri heard music coming from Yanchhon Park.

• Do you hear that?

Park Nuri asked.

• What are we supposed to hear?

Kim So Hee replied, looking at Park Nuri.

• What do you mean "what"? The music!

Park Nuri said.

• Either I'm deaf, or there's no music.

Jeong Tae Ho said sarcastically.

• Most likely, you're the deaf one.

Kim So Hee replied, also sarcastically.

• What did you say?

Jeong Tae Ho asked roughly.

• Calm down. I hear the music too.

Ho Su Min interrupted them.

• Ah... I take back my words. We're both deaf.

Kim So Hee said humorously.

• First time I agree with you.

Meanwhile, Park Nuri headed to Yanchhon Park, where the music was coming from, and Ho Su Min followed her.

• Hey! Don't forget about us!

Kim So Hee shouted and ran after them. Jeong Tae Ho just followed along.

When they reached Yanchhon Park, they saw a small festival with people dancing to the music.

The whole park was decorated with lanterns, garlands, and other decorations. Under the moonlight, everything looked mesmerizing.

• Oh! I'm going to join them!

Kim So Hee exclaimed and ran into the center of the crowd of dancers.

• I'm following her.

Park Nuri said and went to dance too.

• Aren't you going?

Ho Su Min asked Jeong Tae Ho.

• I don't know.

Jeong Tae Ho replied.

• Well then, let's go!

Ho Su Min pulled Jeong Tae Ho along. Together, they all started dancing among the people.

As soon as the music changed, Park Nuri grabbed Jeong Tae Ho's hand and pulled him away from Ho Su Min and Kim So Hee.

"Now those two can be alone. Heh-heh-heh!"

• What are you up to?

Jeong Tae Ho asked.

• Why are you so clueless?

Park Nuri also asked.

• What do you mean?

• I mean, we went, which means they stayed together.

Park Nuri said cheerfully.

• And...?

• Oh my god. It means we're not in their way.

Jeong Tae Ho turned his head, realizing what she meant.

"Well, you could have just said that."

Jeong Tae Ho thought silently.

And while the laughter of people echoed everywhere, Ho Su Min and Kim So Hee were left alone.

• Where's Park Nuri?

Kim So Hee asked.

• I don't know. And I can't see Jeong Tae Ho either.

Ho Su Min replied.

"Wait! That means we're here, just the TWO of us! Stop the planet, I'm getting off!"

Kim So Hee thought anxiously.

• Let's keep dancing. They won't disappear without us.

Ho Su Min said calmly.

• Ah, okay.

Ho Su Min smiled widely and brightly, shifting his gaze to Kim So Hee. She, on the other hand, replied nervously and then looked away from Ho Su Min.

"Ahhh! Why is my heart beating so fast?! Is it going to jump out?! Why now?!"

Kim So Hee continued thinking.

"Come on, get a hold of yourself, Kim So Hee!"

She turned her attention back to Ho Su Min. At that moment, it felt like everything around her stopped, and she could only see... Ho Su Min.

"Wait... Does... Does he... Does he like me?"

She continued to look at Ho Su Min, surprised. Meanwhile, Ho Su Min kept smiling, standing opposite Kim So Hee.

And from a distance, a happy Park Nuri watched them, as if her dream had come true. And Jeong Tae Ho, who had his eyes fixed only on one person...
