Childhood Friend Who Sees the Future Utters Nonsense

126 – A Secret to Tell You

As we arrived at the Ferris wheel with Siyoon, a staff member approached us with a sales smile. I was amazed that she could endure the cold and smile so brightly with just one staff padding.

As an idol, I need to show others a smile, but there’s a big difference between smiling briefly in front of the camera and smiling like that all the time.

“Please climb on carefully~.”

I got on the Ferris wheel while listening to the staff’s warning-mixed instructions that felt like a rhyme.

“You go first, Yuna.”

“huh.”

Meanwhile, Siyoon grabbed my hand and made sure I got on safely first before following me.

I’ve felt this way for a long time, but my boyfriend often speaks bluntly, but his actions always show consideration. It’s a kindness that comes out unconsciously, and it’s something that comes naturally to him.

At one time, I was worried that he might be doing this to other women to seduce them, but after seriously discussing his concerns with Soobin, those thoughts disappeared.

Subin said that it only applies to her. She said that she doesn’t remember receiving such consideration and expressed her resentment by saying, “I’m close to you too, so you could have been a little more kind to me.”

Thanks to that, I was happy to know that I was truly the only one for Siyoon.

Rattling.

As we sat down facing each other, the door closed and I felt the Ferris wheel shake for a moment.

Soon, the altitude of the view outside the window began to gradually increase, and I felt like I was getting closer and closer to the round moon rising above.

We were momentarily engrossed in the feast of lights that adorned our eyes, forgetting each other’s existence. The night view of the amusement park from the sky was quite charming and wonderful.

It was a scenery I had already seen, but for a moment I forgot that fact.

“It’s amazing once again.”

It was a single word that came out of Siyoon’s mouth after staring at the scenery outside for a long time.

What’s so strange about that? Actually, there was no need to ask that question. I already knew what conversation I was going to have with Shiyoon later.

“What kind?”

Nevertheless, I asked the question because only by doing so can the future I saw come to me. Yes, just like that day that announced our new beginning.

“It’s so funny how quickly the day has come for you and me to go on a date at an amusement park without worrying about what other people think.”

“Actually, I find it strange too. I thought it would be something that would happen in the very distant future.”

If you told me a few months ago, ‘This Christmas, you’re going to hold hands with Siyoon and run around an amusement park without caring about what other people think,’ I would never have believed you.

The current situation is so dramatic. I am so happy and moved that if this is a dream, I don’t want to wake up again.

“Yuna.”

“huh?”

Siyoon’s gaze turned to me as she looked out the window. My heart started to flutter at the thought that it was finally starting, but I tried not to show it and looked at Siyoon.

From the beginning, when I brought Shiyoon to this Ferris wheel, I had no intention of avoiding this topic.

“Sorry to suddenly ask you a few questions, but can I ask you a few things?”

“What is it?”

Even as I tilted my head as if nothing had happened, my heart started beating faster and faster. I couldn’t help but smile bitterly, thinking that knowing the future wasn’t always a good thing.

“Why did you decide to go public with your relationship back then?”

“What is the reason?”

Even though I already knew the meaning, I tried to pretend not to know and answered Shiyoon’s question with a counter-question. Then my boyfriend scratched his head and laughed awkwardly as if he didn’t know what I was talking about either.

“I just thought it was a choice you would never make under normal circumstances.”

“Why?”

“You know how precious the members are to you. If there’s a chance that those people will be harmed….”

Siyoon swallowed her words and looked at me intently.

Anyway, you’re sharp in strange places.

“Why do you think that is?”

“Well, at first, I had a hard time guessing either. There were a lot of things that couldn’t be explained simply by the fact that you were taking care of me.”

As Shiyoon values ​​reason more than emotions, he tried to find a reason to understand my actions at the time, but it seems he failed.

Of course. In some ways, my behavior back then was not like me. In that sense, it may be that Siyoon, who knows me well, did not understand it even more.

“But after thinking about it, I realized that you already told me the reason and the answer.”

“I?”

“Don’t pretend you don’t know, you already know.”

“… … .”

Yeah, I know. I know it well.

I already knew that I had given you the answer, and that you would say something like this. I knew that from the beginning. But you still can’t say it.

“Do you remember the day you first told me about your stalker?”

“Remember.”

“You said that day, ‘I might be stalked.’”

“That’s right.”

I thought that even if I told her, Shiyoon wouldn’t believe me about these worries. I remember every word of it clearly.

“At first, I thought it meant, ‘There is a suspicious person who might do something like that.’ But later, when I looked back, I realized that wasn’t the case. You just knew that someone would harm you in the future for some reason.”

“Are you saying that you predicted the future?”

“Yes, of course it is a ridiculous story.”

Shiyoon smiles in vain, as if she can’t believe what she’s saying. But her eyes clearly show trust.

“Anyway, based on that assumption, I tried to guess what happened before and after the press conference. Then, this thought came to mind.”

“What are you thinking?”

“If you really had the ability to see the future, I wonder if you did that because you knew there would be a future where everyone would be happy.”

At Siyoon’s words, I remained silent for a moment, just nodding my head repeatedly.

My boyfriend is really smart. I didn’t expect him to answer correctly so easily. I wasn’t surprised because I had already prepared myself mentally, but I thought he was amazing.

“Foreseeing the future? That’s not like you.”

“That’s right. Honestly, even when I say it myself, I wonder if I’m talking nonsense.”

Siyoon laughed in vain, scratching her head as if she was still half in doubt.

But the look in his eyes as he looked at me was still the same as when he first started. It might be a tall tale, but he was clearly confident that he didn’t think it was a lie.

“That’s why I decided to ask you directly. Only by hearing it from your own mouth can you judge whether my guess is delusional or not.”

“I see… Well, that’s certainly true.”

If something is unclear, hear it directly from the person concerned. It is a very Siyoon-like solution.

And on the other hand, he must have asked this question because he had faith in me. If I were to say outright, “There’s no way something like that could happen,” Si-yoon would turn around without hesitation and say that his thoughts were wrong.

In some ways, that might be a safer choice for me. There’s no use telling such nonsense to others.

That is why, from the day I realized that I could see the future, I swore in my heart that no matter what happened, I would never reveal this secret to anyone until the moment I go to my grave.

Even if the other person is your family, your loved one, or your best friend in the world, I think telling them this fact could actually be embarrassing.

But is that really the best way? If my past self were to ask my present self that, the answer might be a little different.

No, it will definitely be different. That’s why I brought Shiyoon here even though I knew what was going to happen on this Ferris wheel today. It’s a roundabout way of saying that I’m prepared to tell you the whole truth.

There is absolutely no concern that this little secret will change our relationship.

“Heh, that’s right. You noticed it well, didn’t you?”

As I smiled shyly, sticking my tongue out like a child caught in a prank, Siyoon’s eyes, which were looking at me, wavered for a moment. It seemed like she hadn’t expected me to reveal the truth with my own mouth.

“Really?”

“Yeah, really. Although it’s not like I can use my powers of foresight like in the manga.”

In fact, it is closer to the ability to see a future that I don’t want to know than to the ability to foresee. Of course, sometimes I get lucky and see a future that is beneficial to me, but in the past, I only saw useless things.

“Actually, I knew what was going to happen on the Ferris wheel today. You won’t believe it, Siyoon.”

“Everyone, so does that mean I’m asking this question…?”

“Yeah, that’s what I was aiming for from the beginning when I suggested we go on the Ferris wheel. I really wanted to tell you.”

When I smiled faintly and said that it was up to you whether you believed it or not, Shiyoon looked at me with blank eyes. She had guessed that I had the ability to see the future, but it seemed like she hadn’t thought that I would see what happened today.

Ah, that’s funny. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Siyoon look this surprised.

“I can’t ask you to believe me without evidence… Let’s see, in exactly 5 seconds the Ferris wheel will stop and the lights will go out.”

“…what?”

I left Siyoon alone with her eyes wide open, and counted the seconds while folding my fingers one by one.

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds, 5 seconds… . Now.

thud….

Suddenly the Ferris wheel stopped at the top and the lights went out.

There is a backstory to this. Originally, there was an event where the staff would manually stop the Ferris wheel after it had turned a certain distance so that people could enjoy the scenery more, but unfortunately, they ended up turning off the lights as well, which is what caused this incident.

Perhaps, if we go down a little later, the staff member I saw in my dream will bow to us and apologize.

He winked one eye as he informed Shiyoon of that fact in advance.

“Really?”

“… I can’t believe it.”

I felt like I was a magician when I saw Siyoon laughing in vain, and it was fun.

“Aren’t you scared?”

I asked Shiyoon the same question as in the scene in my dream. Even though I already knew the answer, it felt like I was matching the answer sheet with the solution to a problem.

“What’s there to be afraid of? It’s not like you, the person I knew, is going anywhere.”

“But having a girlfriend with such strange abilities might make her seem like a monster.”

“What about monsters? It’s actually pretty cool. The ability to see the future, after all, is a superpower that people dream of at least once in their lifetime.”

Shiyoon shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and said that he was rather happy that his girlfriend was such a special person.

What was truly amazing was that, even though I had clearly heard it in my dream, the emotion didn’t diminish. No, rather, hearing it directly from Siyoon’s mouth in reality seemed to double the emotion.

This person really sees me as a whole girl named ‘Han Yu-na’. That’s why, as long as the foundation that supports the person called Han Yu-na doesn’t waver, no matter what I add or take away, I think I’ll be able to maintain my feelings for her.

Once I realized that, it became difficult to control my feelings for the boyfriend in front of me.

This person, who gives me so much affection that it makes my past worries seem insignificant, is so pretty, cool, thankful, and lovable that I found myself getting up from my seat without thinking.

“Don’t stand up, it’s dangerous.”

“I know, but I just remembered something I forgot to tell you.”

“Something you couldn’t say?”

He slowly approached Siyoon, who had an expression on her face as if asking what that was, and settled down on her thigh.

They told us that the Ferris wheel would stop and the lights would go out, and that the staff would apologize to us afterwards, but they didn’t tell us what would happen in between.

But it’s no fun to say it in words. So I’ll say it with actions. I’ll tell you what you and I did in the meantime.

“Chooo… .”

As I wrapped my arms around Shiyoon’s neck and brought my lips to hers, I could smell the bitter scent of coffee beans along with the sweet scent of cinnamon.

Just as I had counted the time until the lights went out earlier, I tried to mentally count the time until the kiss ended, but failed.

1 second, 1 second, 1 second… . It was because I had stopped in that spot for so long and had no intention of moving forward. As if I didn’t want to be separated from this man, my mouth only repeated one number in my head.

As we gradually became out of breath, and our lips finally left each other with regret, we parted ways.

But as if that wasn’t enough, I still sat on Siyoon’s thighs, holding my face with both hands and smiling. My expression right now was probably no different from that of a little devil.

“I didn’t tell you that I was going to kiss you here.”

I kissed her again, belatedly revealing the truth I had not been able to tell her.

Come to think of it, I didn’t even tell you that I was going to kiss you one more time. Well, that doesn’t matter.
