"We are supposed to be on a date," Ryu Seyoon spoke out— his tone being whiny.
Protruding his bottom lip forward, he let a pout form on his face. His eyes stared at Chaerin pleadingly— resembling a puppy slightly— while he shifted his weight from one leg to other.
Paying barely attention to the man before her, Jung Chaerin stared at her phone and swiped her hand across the screen. Singlemindedly, she concentrated upon the details behind her phone's screen.
"Jung Chaerin-ssi!" he let out a groan.
Without raising her head, she stated, "Aren't you being too noisy and childish? I have already accompanied you to the amusement park and kept my part of the deal. Now, I plead you to not annoy me further."
"What's the use of coming to the amusement park if you are going to sit at one bench and keep on typing away on your phone?" he questioned.
Noises from all sides reached into Chaerin's ears, making it quite difficult for her to place her concentration into her work. A subtle frown began to form on her face.
"I have never wanted to come to an amusement park and merely mentioned on how I will be accompanying you, nothing else," she replied calmly.
"You— Nevermind. If you don't want to get in the ride, I would not be forcing you," he said.
His shoulders lowered slightly while he turned his back on Chaerin and began to walk away. Raising her head, Chaerin watched his distancing back and said nothing to stop him.
With how cold she was behaving, it was understandable for him to walk away from her sooner or later. Since Chaerin knew it very well, she could find herself holding a grudge or having complains against it. Moreover, things were better that way.

However, she had thought wrong. That realization dawned upon her when she felt something cold and wet touch the tip of her nose. Chaerin, who was completely engrossed into her work, was shocked by it.
Touching her nose, she raised her head and saw Seyoon stand before her. A wide smile was present on his face while his hand held on to two cones of ice-cream— one held before her face.
"It's a pity that you had to wipe it away," he commented, "I thought it was cute."
"Ryu Seyoon-ssi, if you keep on playing around like this, I will get really angry," Chaerin threatened.
Taking that threat with a grain of a salt, he let out a chuckle and sat down beside her on the bench. Wondering what he would be up to next, she eyed him cautiously.
"Is that so?" he asked before spoke out, "For what? Bringing you a ice-cream? This is the least you could do. After all, I did not force you to ride with me despite of how much I wanted to do it."
"There is no problem with riding it on your own, and if you don't want to be alone, bring your friends along. Don't get me involved in such bothersome matters," she said.
