17 17. GOODBYE

Her mom dropped her off in the park and left for work. She stood there excitedly waiting for Jiseok.

Two hours passed, but still no sign of Jiseok. Tears started rolling down her cheeks, it was even snowing heavily but she refused to take shelter scared that Jiseok will not see her. The snow was getting worse and she was freezing but she refused to still take shelter.

"BAD JISEOK HE LIED TO ME!!" she said aggrieved already sniffing, trying not to cry.

One hour later, still no sign of Jiseok. She couldn't take it again and started crying. She fell on the snow crying. Suddenly, she felt someone covering her with an umbrella. She looked up only to see Jiseok.

She got up and hugged him crying. Jiseok didn't expect this and stood stiff before hugging her back.

"I'm sorry, something unexpected came up". Jiseok continued saying petting her.

"I thought you weren't coming, that something bad…happened…I hate you…" Taner pushed him and was hitting him. He was quite surprised that he felt pain everywhere she hit him with her small fist. He felt as if she was using iron to hit him, he tried holding her hands but found out this little girl is quite strong

"I'm sorry, Seok Seok is sorry, please forgive me, see Seok Seok bought you something". Jiseok said bringing out a box from his pocket. Taner cleaned her eyes and took it still pouting. He sighed relieved that she finally stopped hitting him. He rubbed his chest slightly. She opened it and saw a beautiful bracelet. It has a design with a violet Swan. She was so happy and stretched her hands for him to put it on for her.

After wearing it, she was looking at it excitedly, smiling brightly.

"Look at the inside". Jiseok said. "That's our initials, T💕J". He showed it to her.

"Wow.. That's so beautiful". She said excitedly and touched their initials smiling happily. Her eyes formed two crescent moon and it seemed as if the violet shown brightly. Jiseok couldn't take his eyes off her. He was mesmerized and captivated. He could feel his heart beating fast as if it was going to burst.

COUGH!

"Today I'm taking you to the amusement park". He finally calmed himself down.

"Really! Thanks Seok Seok let's go". Taner happily skipped to the front. He looked at her and smiled sadly knowing today was the last day he will see her.

They entered inside happily. Immediately the manager saw Jiseok he recognized him and rushed to greet him.

"Ah…young…" before the manager could complete his sentence he just nodded and walked away with Taner.

"Let's go to the merry-go-round!" she held Jiseok hand and pointed to it. Jiseok smiled and nodded. She quickly ran there. Once the workers sees Jiseok they immediately recognized him. Taner and Jiseok happily entered the merry-go-round. He could feel all eyes on him as his guards where keeping a close eye on him scared that he will outsmart them again and disappear.

They rode on the strata roller coaster, reef diver, bumper boat, Ferris wheel, chair lifts transport ride. Taner laughter filled everywhere as they moved from one ride to the other. He was quite surprised at her reaction because normal children her age would've screamed their lungs out but here she was asking for more. He smiled unknowingly as she watched her.

"I want to go in there". Taner pointed to the dark ride. Jiseok felt like vomiting after riding different rides.

"Pretty please!" she pouted doing her adorable cat eyes. He couldn't resist her and just nodded. 'she's going to be the death of me', he thought to himself. She dragged him and both of them entered inside.

Inside the dark ride, Taner hugged him tightly scared of what she was seeing. Anytime he is around her he feels what he hasn't felt for anyone except his mother.

He hugged her back knowing that this was the last time he is going to see her.

After the dark ride, Taner ran outside, "Seok Seok that was very scary, weren't you afraid?"

"Nope, let's go get some food to eat". He told her dragging her behind him. He didn't want to let go of her hand because he doesn't know when he will get to hold it again.

Taner suddenly stopped in front of a store. She looked at the huge teddy bear longingly.

"Do you want that?" Jiseok stopped staring at her. She nodded enthusiastically. Jiseok walked over to the man and asked him how he can win the teddy bear. The man explained the process to him and thought he was too young to play, unknown to him that Jiseok has already been taught how to aim and shoot perfectly. In fact, the only person who could defeat him for now was his father.

He position himself well and aimed the five can calculating his shot, finally releasing his finger he shot perfectly using one bullet to shoot the five cans. The man was surprised because nobody has been able to pass. Even though he didn't want to give the teddy bear he doesn't have a choice but to give it to him.

"Seok Seok you are so amazing! Thank you!" she happily carried the teddy bear that was almost bigger than her and pecked him again. They stopped in a photo boot to take some pictures. After that they finally stopped in front of a food stand.

"So what do you want?" he asked looking at her.

"I'll have Buchimgae and Andong jjimdak". She happily said.

"Two plate of Buchimgae and Andong jjimdak for the girl and a plate of Bulgogi for me". He ordered before turning to stare at her.

Five minutes later, their food was ready. He carried it to their seat. On seeing the food, Taner was very happy and was salivating.

"Bon appeti". Jiseok said dropping the food on the table. Taner immediately rushes the food and started eating fast. He bought his cameras and took several photos of her without her realizing.

They ate happily enjoying the tasty food. After eating he bought chocolate flavor ice cream for Taner. She licked it happily. Jiseok looked at his phone, "Young master it's time to go". His expression immediately changed after seeing the text.

They went back to the park and sat on the chair.

"There's something I want to tell you". They both said at the same time.
