Hyuri's POV

As I arrived at the playground, Jisung is still not here. I sat on the swing and continued eating the remaining popcorns I got from twins earlier.

I sighed "What if he is not going to show up?"

"Hyuri!" someone shouted

I saw Jisung smiling while walking towards me carrying two plastic bags both hands "I thought you are not going to show up"

"I'm not that kind of guy. I always do what I am saying towards someone. Besides, I think you did what I want you to do?" Jisung asked

"Ah, of course!"

"Let's sit there" Jisung said and started walking towards the bench, I quickly followed and sat beside him "What made you want to try soju and chicken? Are you even allowed to drink?"

"I am 20 years old and I think I am at the right age to drink. As what I've told you, I came from California and I never tried anything here in Korea"

"Here" he said and gave me a opened bottle of soju "Drink it slowly. You can't get drunk"

"Thanks" I smiled and took a sip to taste it

"How was it?" Jisung asked while smiling, showing his fluffy cheeks

"It's okay and it doesn't suit my taste. I think I can get used to this if I drink continuously"

"Right" Jisung said and drank his soju as well

"May I ask you a question? If it's okay. I'm not going to ask this to offend you"

"What is it?" Jisung looked at me

"I think y-you look like a s-squirrel"

"I know hahahaha. Everyone says that to me and I'm not offended at all" Jisung smiled

"Really? It's okay. You look cute. That's not a question though hahahaha"

"I-I do?" Jisung stared at me

"Am I the only one who told you? If I am. You must be really happy to hear that from a cutie like me"

"Whatever you say, Hyuri" Jisung

"When my brother says that words, it's kinda annoying but whenever you are the one saying that, it feels familiar"

Jisung looked at me "You remem-"

"You look kinda busy earlier. I went here as soon as I finished my classes but a friend of yours came here. He said you are busy and you are only available tonight"

"Ah, Chani? He is my friend, and yes, I am busy. I did some school works that needs to be passed tomorrow" Jisung

"Really? Then, you must be really tired? Anyway, thank you for sparing some time for me, for my diary and memories"

"No worries. As long as it's you" Jisung smiled

"Do you have a crush on me?"

"Huh? Hahahaha can't I say those words?" Jisung

"I was just kidding"

"Anyways, try these chickens" Jisung said and gave me one drumstick

"Thanks" I started eating the chicken and it's kinda spicy "Is there only one flavor in the store you ordered this from?"

"Yes hahahaha. I am so late that all of the flavors were sold" Jisung

"But it's delicious. Thank you" I smiled and put the chicken down. I continued drinking, but this time I almost finished the whole bottle "I'm starting to like the taste and also I love the atmosphere"

"Me too" Jisung took a deep breath and looked at the sky "Under the moonlight, it's always like this"

"Under the what? What do you mean always like this?"

"Nothing. I just love how I can see the beautiful sky at night, plus the moonlight" Jisung

I nodded and drank the whole bottle. I opened another bottle and drank a little "Night sky"

"Do you hate it?" Jisung asked

"No, this is the first time I stared at the night sky for this long. I usually spend my time inside our house, at my friends and partying, school, car racing events and more. I don't stay at a peaceful place like this"

"But do you know what's better than this?" Jisung

"What?"

"Dancing and saying promises under the moonlight with your loved ones, with the sound of the waves" Jisung

"You really have an amazing imagination. I never heard such scenery from my friends. I mean they love partying, going out, making out and more. You are the first person whom I heard that from. For the first time, it felt nice and I'm too eager to try and do it"

"Do you know that you are not the first person I've told about that? You are the second one, but it feels like you two are the same person. I did it once with her. We are dancing and saying our promises under the moonlight" Jisung

"Then, what happened?"

"We didn't see each other the next day. It was like us against everyone in this world. I still remember how she smiled at me that night. The way she told me that we should be together no matter what. But she left the next day, and after that. There's no more communication" Jisung

"Han Jisung!" a girl shouted while walking towards us, behind her is Chani "Who is she?!" she shouted angrily

I stood up "I am Hyuri"

"Who?" she looked at me

"Let's go" Chani told her

"Did you just rolled your eyes? Look, I don't care who you are. Can you just leave while I'm still being nice? Because I can throw you far from this place"

"Why did you come back? Did you come back to leave Jisung again? Are you here to hurt him again?! Do you know that he waited-" she stopped talking when Chani covered her mouth

"Take her away from us" Jisung

Chani nodded "Sorry. She's too drunk and started saying random things" he said and dragged the girl while covering her mouth

"What is she saying?"

"Don't mind her" Jisung

"You waited for who?
