The carnival lights flickered and shimmered as the group arrived at the entrance, where Jesse waited just outside the gate. He stood with a relaxed posture, hands tucked into his pockets, scanning the crowds.
"You guys, I invited Jesse," Kaijin said, waving enthusiastically in Jesse's direction.
Jennie raised an eyebrow. "What's up with you and that junior?"
Kaijin shrugged casually. "He's been visiting a lot and giving me art lessons. Thought it'd be cool to invite him."
As they made their way toward Jesse, the sound of carnival games and laughter filled the air. The lights cast a colorful glow on their faces, making the evening feel electric. Jesse greeted them with a warm smile and handed each friend their carnival ticket. Together, they passed through the gates, instantly enveloped by the lively atmosphere of the carnival.
