“Yechan’s hair……”
Everyone’s gaze who got off the safari tour car turned to Yechan’s hair. Whether it was the zookeeper’s personality, they said the other team was told about the giraffe in advance and warned to be careful. So everyone prepared thoroughly and survived, but only Yechan, who didn’t hear any advice, was a complete mess.
“Everyone, the giraffe, hic…… the giraffe did this to my hair.”
Yechan, who approached the camera, pointed to his hair and whined exaggeratedly.
“Our muscle pig. Should hyung go scold the giraffe?”
While everyone couldn’t quite touch Yechan’s hair, Luca approached and put his arm around his shoulder. He brought his face close to his hair for a moment, then frowned and turned his head to the opposite side.
“From now on it’s free time, so everyone do what you want to do.”
When the members scattered in an instant to find what they wanted to do, Siwoo, who became awkward, waved his hand slightly toward the camera filming him.
“Uh. So what should I do? First, I’ll snack and walk around, then do whatever I like.”
Soon Siwoo was walking around slowly looking at the surroundings with lemonade in one hand and a pretzel in the other. Then he stopped in front of the carousel.
The horses moving up and down in a steady rhythm and Cinderella’s pumpkin carriage were moving according to soft music. Brightly smiling children and parents standing around them were calling to the children and taking pictures.
The children held the safety bar with one hand and waved to their families with the other hand.
The carousel. A scene that can’t be left out if anyone recalls an amusement park from their childhood. It was a place where even as adults, one’s footsteps would linger at least once.
“It looks fun, but I’m too old to ride the carousel, right?”
Even while saying that, Siwoo stopped in front of it. He took a big bite of the pretzel, and when his throat got clogged while chewing, he drank lemonade through the straw.
“I’ll go to another place.”
Siwoo, who had been standing for a while, slowly turned his steps. Honestly, he wanted to ride it. It was just like a childhood memory. He rode the pumpkin carriage because he was scared to ride the horse alone. His noona teased him for being a coward.
He hesitated and hesitated but ultimately couldn’t ride it. That appearance of going around the same spot seemed like looking at himself. Going round and round, no matter how much you turn, the same spot.
“Oh! I’m good at this.”
The place where Siwoo’s wandering footsteps stopped was where they played a game of throwing darts to pop balloons. It was a simple game where you calculate points based on how many balloons you pop in a set time and choose a prize. When he saw that the first-place prize was a large giraffe doll, he became greedy.
“I’ll definitely get first place and win that giraffe doll. And I should give it to Yechan as a gift. Yechan made tremendous memories with the giraffe today.”
It was petty revenge. Revenge for the pheromone incident that put him in an awkward situation today. Yechan, who got off the jeep, wailed that he hated giraffes. A mischievous smile appeared on Siwoo’s face as he recalled the words that he would never go see giraffes again.
“He’ll probably be incredibly happy. You know, right?”
Siwoo, who even winked, paid the game fee and carefully looked over the darts placed in front of him.
“Ah, this is really too much. Honestly, I understand, but the dart tips seem too blunt. It’s probably induced so the balloons don’t pop well, but that doesn’t concern me, right?”
He tapped it on his fingertips, but the blunt tip didn’t give much impact. Siwoo, who was muttering like talking to himself, really casually threw the dart.
Pop―.
The balloon popped with a refreshing sound.
“Oh~ it’s better than I thought, so this time I’ll do it quickly ta-ta-ta-tak.”
The smile disappeared from Siwoo’s face as he made a V sign toward the camera. His eyes changed as if concentrating, and his plump lips jutted forward.
Siwoo, holding five darts in his left hand, looked at the camera once and threw all five in succession in an instant. And cheerful popping sounds continued.
“Whoa.”
The camera director, who generally doesn’t show that he’s impressed, but at this moment an exclamation filled with bewilderment burst from his mouth.
“I’m good, right?”
As if he hadn’t jutted his lips and had concentrating eyes, Siwoo smiled brightly like cherry blossom petals flying in the spring breeze.
“Then. The remaining four, swish swish swoosh.”
Siwoo, who concentrated in a really short time, perfectly popped all the remaining balloons. A pretty child playing a dart game with the camera director was enough to gather people around. When he succeeded in a ten-kill by hitting every throw, applause burst out from the surroundings.
“Oh my.”
Siwoo, who didn’t know people were gathering because he was focused on the dart game, was startled by the applause. Surprised only for a moment, he quickly pulled down the sunglasses he’d placed on top of his head to play the dart game.
“Give me the giraffe.”
If you got a twenty-kill, you could receive the large giraffe, but Siwoo, who felt burdened by people gathering, quickly left the spot holding a small giraffe.
“I did really well, right? I can do more, but if I occupy the spot, other people can’t do it. Should I go find Yechan now? I’m curious what reaction he’ll show when he sees the gift.”
Now talking to himself toward the camera wasn’t too burdensome. Since they were together from the moment he opened his eyes to the moment he fell asleep, he was used to it.
“Should I call Yechan? He’s probably riding attractions. Ah! Right. Wait a moment.”
Siwoo, who took out his phone while walking, stopped. Then he properly put on the tiger headband he’d been wearing continuously and held the giraffe doll in one arm.
“I look okay, right? Does the dart balloon game place in the back show up well too?”
He was thinking of taking a selfie for today’s homework. Just in time, the sun was setting, so the natural sunlight was creating a lighting effect. At Siwoo’s question asking if it was okay, the camera moved up and down.
Siwoo, who took selfies with a few clicking sounds, smiled awkwardly and wiggled his fingers more. He posted on SNS.

Dart balloon popping all-kill success!
Originally, with his personality, he would have just posted an emoticon, but since they asked him to diligently add comments too, he added a kind explanation.
A small song flowed from Siwoo’s mouth as he made a call to find where Yechan was.
“Yechan’s ringtone. It’s Phoenix’s latest song. It’s really good.”
Siwoo, who was singing along to the ringtone, stopped in place and moved his body lightly. He had memorized most of the representative songs and dances of the groups that the members he was with now belonged to. He didn’t try to memorize them on purpose. He just checked out the famous songs at the time, and since he didn’t have his own dance songs, he followed along when bored.
When the ringtone kept flowing as if he was riding an attraction, he didn’t dance properly but moved lightly and accurately picked out only the point choreography.
“And a turn here! Ta-da. Ah, is he riding an attraction? He’s not answering. I’ll try calling one more time.”
When he danced to the part where the ringtone ended and it went to the guidance voice, Siwoo shrugged his shoulders. Then when the ringtone was heard again, he continued to dance to the point choreography.
“Siwoo!”
When the call didn’t connect twice, Siwoo, who was about to call another member to ask where he was, raised his head at the sound calling him. Luca and Hyunsu were walking this way from afar.

Happy days, everything looks lovely to my eyes.
Evan updated on SNS and slowly flipped through the photos he posted. When it became free time, he deliberately avoided Siwoo. He wanted to focus on taking pictures. After going through numerous hobbies, it was one of the few hobbies that continued for a long time. The amusement park was wide and they scattered without saying their destinations, so meeting Siwoo was a difficult thing.
If they ran into each other again in this wide place, what meaning would that have?
Evan, who was looking at the world through the frame, slowly lowered his camera. It was in front of the carousel with numerous people. A smile formed on his mouth too at the sight of him diligently eating a pretzel bigger than his face. If he kept watching like this, it felt like he would follow Siwoo around, so he deliberately turned his steps to another place.
But when he saw Siwoo standing in front of the dart balloon game, his chest became stuffy. Even though he avoided him for a very short time, he met him again. It would have been better if he’d met another member instead.
He, who was focused on the game, didn’t know at all who was around or what the situation was like.
He slowly raised the camera he’d lowered for a moment. Within the small frame, Siwoo was happy.
Fearing that he might see him, Evan briefly pulled back his body. And slowly moved his position.
When Siwoo’s figure was faintly captured in backlight, he pressed the shutter again. Evan, who had been taking pictures like that for a while, tried to leave when Siwoo’s game ended. But he couldn’t.
The way he spoke cutely in front of the camera, the way he smiled brightly while heading somewhere, all those appearances held Evan.
At the sight of him calling somewhere, he unknowingly looked down at his own phone. The person he called wasn’t himself. The heart that had swelled up for a moment instantly rolled around on the ground miserably. At that appearance fluttering like dandelion seeds, he put down the camera. He captured that appearance with his own eyes, not the frame. After doing so for a while, he didn’t miss even the tilting of his head.
Siwoo called someone else who wasn’t him. When he called that person again who didn’t answer right away, Evan filmed him again.
Evan’s camera director filmed Evan, and Evan captured Siwoo in the camera.
What he posted on SNS was only three photos.
Siwoo was on the opposite end of the left side of the carousel photo full of happy appearances.
Next was the street of the wide amusement park. Places with simple games were lined up on both sides. And at the end, one person was playing a dart game. Since everything was backlit, it looked like a shadow.
Lastly, it was the appearance of one person receiving the dazzling lighting created by the sunset. Bright yellow light wrapped around him from head to toe.
