Chapter 77 - Following Song Ji Hun

He had no idea how their lives are going to be affected because of his wrong assumption.

Therefore, he kept helping Aera in small ways and for every help he did, he counted it as a favour he did on her which she was supposed to return back someday.

"95 favours it is?" Aera asked him and he nodded his head as a response.

"What's the point of you keeping a track of these records? You anyway never ask me to return back a favour"

It was true as Ji Hwan only helped her but he never asked her for anything in return.

Song Ji Hwan chuckled, "Are you that interested in returning back my favours?"

"Yeah, it is annoying to owe anyone anything" Aera's words surprised her.

"At times, I feel like I know you but then suddenly I realize I have no idea who you are" Ji Hwan commented.

"You don't need to know" Aera coldly replied but her eyes were calm and gentle, as they were looking at Song Ji Hun.

"Why are you so into my brother?" Ji Hwan asked her, following her gaze.

"He is the most amazing person I have ever come across" Aera didn't hesitate in sharing her true feelings.

"Wow, so bold" Ji Hwan chuckled and added, "Let me tell you a secret"

He successfully attracted Aera's attention as she turned to look at him, "My brother is not as amazing as you think he is. I am more amazing than him" he then winked at her only to get a cold glare from the cute girl.

Aera ignored his words, looking disappointed as she expected he will indeed share some secret of Song Ji Hun.

'What was I thinking? Why will he share his brother's secret with me? Not like their relationship is as bad as mine and Kiaraa' she thought again looking at Song Ji Hun.

"Lovestruck fool" Song Ji Hwan muttered softly and smiled to himself, as he too enjoyed the beautiful atmosphere surrounding him.

Later, the kids and their fathers went for dinner to a high-end restaurant where Kim Hoon mentioned about an amusement park.

"Remember Seoul Amusement Park where we used to go to?" He asked his friends in front of the kids.

"Yes?" Song Jae Ho looked at him.

"How about we take these kids there tomorrow?" Kim Hoon asked his friends, who looked at their children to know their opinion.

"Ahhh, I just want to chill at home" Kiaraa complained.

"Come on K, it will be fun" Ian tried to convince her.

"Hyung, let's go, you might get a chance to spend some time with Kiaraa" Ji Hwan whispered in his brother's ears to convince him.

After some discussing and convincing, the six children agreed to go to the amusement park the next day as it was anyway their summer vacation.

Song Ji Hun too agreed as after this vacation, he would be entering 11th grade and the next two years are going to be very busy for him.

The same was the case with Ian, so he wished to spend this summer vacation with Kiaraa.

Next day the three men took their children to the Seoul Amusement Park, which is one of the oldest yet a very modern equipped park.

There were so many options at this park, that the six children got excited after reaching there.

There were two types of entry tickets, one that said general pass which only allowed entry and the second one was an unlimited pass, which allowed the ticket holder to go for any ride or to choose any activity without paying again and again.

There were five different types of lands spread across this big amusement park with multiple activities – World Plaza, Adventure Land, Fantasy Land, Future Land, Top-Hill.

There was one big gate to enter the main amusement park and once they did, there were different small gates that open up to these five lands.

"Wow, this park is so beautiful" Kiaraa looked at this place in admiration.

"Now this girl is excited, yesterday who was the one who kept complaining she didn't want to come?" Ian taunted her.

"Why? My daughter is not allowed to complain?" Lee Myung Soo suddenly questioned Ian, hearing his taunt.

'Why does it feel like he hates me?' Ian wondered as he noticed the displeasure on Lee Myung Soo's face.

"Haha, of course your daughter can complain" Song Jae Ho chimed in and subtly patted his friend's shoulder asking him to not fight with a kid.

Kim Hoon decided to let it be as he was sure if any boy ever tries to pursue Kim Do-Yun, he will be the same.

The kids then decided to go ahead and have fun.

"Kids, see this restaurant, no matter what gate you come out, this restaurant will always be in your view. At the end of the day, this is where we will all meet, okay?" Kim Hoon explained to the kids before parting ways with them as he was sure after a point it won't be possible for them all to stick together.

"Okay" All kids shouted in unison.

"Also, please try to stick with at least one person from our group, so that you don't get lost" Kim Hoon again suggested and the kids agreed.

"Ian, please take care of Kim Do-Yun, she is the youngest of all" Kim Hoon warned his son, who sulked as he wished to be alone with Kiaraa, nevertheless he accepted it.

"Tonight by 8 pm, everybody has to be back to this restaurant. If you all follow the instructions then we will again bring you here" Lee Myung Soo promised the kids.

The kids agreed to all terms and conditions before going their own way as they all had different preferences and didn't wish to stick together everywhere. 

There was a big board, which listed what activities are available inside which land. Kiaraa was reading it to plan what places she would wish to visit first.

"Isn't this place just awesome?" Ian asked, standing next to her.

"Yeah, but there are literally hundreds of things to do here. How can I enjoy all these activities in one day?" Kiaraa complained.

"Wow, first you didn't wish to come here now you don't wish to leave" Ian chuckled and suggested, "Let's do whatever activities we can today and we will come again next week or some other time to enjoy rest of the activities"

"Hmm" Kiaraa was selecting which of the activities she wants to do today.

After she made a mental note, she was about to walk away when Ian followed her with Kim Do-Yun, "Why are you following me?" Kiaraa asked.

"Dad just asked us to stay with at least one person from the group, remember?"

"That is for kids, I can take care of myself" 

"K, I want to enjoy all these activities with you, so I am obviously going to tag along" Ian retorted.

"Ian, what if the activities I want to do are not the same as the ones you wish to do?" Kiaraa questioned him, raising her eyebrows.

"Well, I would want to do everything that you too want" Ian lovingly smiled at her.

"Ian, only because we are friends, we don't always have to stick together" Kiaraa said and looked around, "See, Hwan is not here, he already left to enjoy the activities he like."

"That's Hwan, don't compare me with him. I am not Hwan and he is not Ian" Ian got annoyed when she compared him with Song Ji Hwan.

"Chill, why are you overreacting?" Kiaraa rolled her eyes and decided to not argue with him. She first entered the fantasy world, where there were various types of rides – Loop coaster, Larva Twister, Hi-Roller, Sky cycle etc.

For the next two hours, Kiaraa, Ian and Kim Do-Yun had lot of fun on these rides. Kim Do-Yun was missing Aera but she was already informed by Aera that she would be going wherever Song Ji Hun is going, so Do-Yun had to stick with her brother.

Whereas, when the kids went their ways Aera followed Song Ji Hun, who was unaware of being followed by her.

Song Ji Hun wished to be with Kiaraa too but he also wished to enjoy a few activities that he liked.

He knew Ian won't leave them alone anyway even if he manages to be near Kiaraa, so he didn't bother much about it.

He first went to play the IQ-Arcade and ended up winning a prize.

Aera, who was silently following him, got impressed seeing him win.

After a while Song Ji Hun came across a haunted house and decided to try it as he saw a few kids crying after this adventurous experience. He was curious to see if this place was truly that scary and if so, why.

Song Ji Hun completed the formalities and entered the Haunted house while Aera paused near the door.

This haunted house was designed in a way that although there is one common entry, there are multiple exits.

If she doesn't follow Song Ji Hun right away then she might end up losing him and won't be able to find him again in this extremely big amusement park.
