"They said Iseul Project, right?" I whispered.
"Yes, that's what they said." Sai pursed her lips.
"I'm going to the last floor." I immediately said when people got out of the elevator.
"What? I'm going with you, stupid. This is crazy!"
"You'll get in trouble!"
"So do you! What the heck!" Sai hissed and pressed the button to the last floor.
It was nerve wrecking, someone might see us. Both of us were trying to act normal when people started going inside. I felt Sai's hand on my arm, it felt cold. I used my left hand to hold her.
They said Iseul Project what the fuck. There's a high possibility that something associated with Iseul is happening in this building! How dare they?
I sighed in relief. We were able to reach the last floor! I gulped when the elevator door opened. The hallway was empty, and there was only one door at the center.
"La mente."
I read the sign above the steel door. We were about to go towards it when we heard some steps behind us.
"Where are you two going?"
I froze when I heard Ara's voice behind. We looked at her, and she was still smiling at us. I was begging the heavens inside my head that she won't find us suspicious.
"Auntie! OMG I'm so glad you're here, we got lost! We were about to go back to your office!" Sai laughed and scratched the back of her head.
"My office is on the fifth floor, come... people might see you here. You two might get in trouble," she said.
We walked back to the elevator. I looked at the door and read the sign again so I could remember. This is not an option for us, we can't take a look inside.
"What's on this floor, Auntie?" Sai asked. She sounded innocent.
"Highly confidential projects, you wouldn't want to be spoiled by upcoming shows, right?" she said.
"We would love to wander around the amusement park, we thought Yuji would like to come with us," I said.
"Oh, he'll go with you. This place has been his home ever since," she smiled at me.
Sai was able to strike a conversation with her aunt. It seems like she didn't fine us suspicious which is a big relief. We were so close! But we missed a big opportunity.
"Yohan! I thought you left already," Yuji approached us.
"We'll visit the amusement park, would you like to come with us?" I asked.
"Sure! Wait let me get my things."
We waited for Yuji outside Ara's office.
"We're so sorry for the trouble, Auntie." Sai said. We apologetically smiled at Ara.
"No, it's fine... Don't worry, it happens. Take care and have fun at the park!" She smiled at us.
We went back to the elevator with Yuji. Ara waved at us as the door closed. I let out a deep sigh. I'm so glad she didn't caught us near the door!
"Where should we go first?" Yuji asked.
"Is there a convenience store here? I need a drink," Sai said, she's catching her breath.
"Oh, there's a store nearby. They sell water too." We followed Yuji until we reached a small store. It sells snacks and drinks.
I just stood behind her, trying to look around the amusement park. Then my eyes gazed upon Dreamy Studio's main building. How can I even get inside a restricted area? And most importantly, why is there a project named after Iseul?
I can't help but assume that this is definitely related to Iseul. Knowing the fact that Ara made an animation based on an anima perduta... There's a high chance that Iseul was dragged into this.
I felt someone tapping my back. Sai handed me a bottle of water.
"Thanks," I said.
"Let's ride a rollercoaster!" Sai exclaimed.
I almost choked on my water. After everything that has happened, has she really thought of riding a rollercoaster? I glanced at Yuji... but this is also good for hiding our intentions a while ago.
"Sai, Yohan, if you two want to ride a rollercoaster, you should fall in line already. There are only a few people in line," Yuji pointed at the rollercoaster.
We immediately walked towards it. I looked at Yuji who wasn't following us to fall in line.
"Hey, don't you want to ride? Are you scared?" Sai teased him.
"I've rode this rollercoaster hundreds of times now; you two should ride it without me," he reasoned out.
"Alright. If that's the case, please hold my camera! Oh, and this bucket hat, since it might fall down." Sai placed her bucket hat on Yuki's head and handed him the camera.
"Go now!" he said.
Sai and I fell in line; the personnel told us to enter already. I sat beside her on this cloud-themed rollercoaster.
"Are you scared?" Sai said.
"No, are you?"
"Yes! I have fear of heights!" She laughed so hard.
"Then why the fuck did you want to ride this in the first place?!" I asked. She looked like she was about to pass out; the ride's not even started yet!
"Because it looked cute! I mean, this ride is designed as clouds!" She pursed her lips and closed her eyes when the coaster started moving slowly.
"Hey! Don't pass out! Just scream at the top of your lungs!" I told her. I was nervous for her! She looked frightened. What the heck?
"Alright! I will!"
We reached the highest part of the rollercoaster, and I was amazed by the view. The place looks like a masterpiece done by artists. I can't help but admire this view. But I gritted my teeth as I remember that this place also holds so many secrets.
"Yohan, you stupid shit!"
I rolled my eyes when Sai was screaming. She shouldn't scream without talking! But she was cursing at me the whole time. I also watched her while the rollercoaster was moving fast. I'm afraid she might pass out.
"I will never do this again!" Sai said and got off the ride. I laughed for a bit. She was the one who wanted to go here, but she was scared as hell.
"Sai! Are you okay?" Yuji asked immediately.
"Of course! It's so much fun," Sai said and even posed like a superhero.
"Really? I kind of took pictures of the two of you."
I pursed my lips to prevent a laugh. Sai was looking intently at the stolen pictures.
"I looked like shit," she said.
"That's true. Yohan was watching you the whole time." Yohan chuckled.
Sai pouted her lips. "Yohan looked relaxed! You should've told me you were going to take pictures! Let's ride this thing again!"
I shook my head. "Let's just ride the carousel."
"What? That's so boring!" she complained.
"Sai, look at your pictures. You're about to pass out," I said, and she sighed in defeat. We continued wandering around the park and I was trying my best to distract myself the whole time.
Iseul Project, huh?
