[Ni-Ki's POV]
"You have one wish to use. What do you want to do?" The male staff asked me.
I already have something in my mind ever since I decided to win the games. Around 3 years ago, I made a promise with someone during Sunoo's parent funeral, that I want to go to Japan with her, Kim Suna. This is my only chance that I got, so I shouldn't waste it and truly go for what I really want.
"Can you book two tickets to Japan please?" I said, telling the staff that I want to go back to Japan.
"I know that one is for you. But, the other one is for?" He ask cause I didn't tell him who will be going with me.
"Kim Suna." I said calmly, as I really should.
After confessing my affection to her, I realise what I really need is only a 'friend' and not 'love'. I must have been confused with my own feeling, since I am still in an adulting phase. If I realise it a bit sooner, she wouldn't feel uncomfortable with me, right? But after observing how she able to converse freely with the other that she rejected before, make me feel reassured. At the very least, we can still be friend.
I texted her to tell her about the short trip to Japan. I planned everything, from A - Z. From where we gonna go, to where we gonna eat, and of course where we want to stay.

*Thursday ; 2:00 p.m*
Their flight to Japan us scheduled at 4:00 p.m, but they need to check in earlier for boarding purpose. They both sitting next to each other, at the boarding gate, avoiding other's gaze. They wears mask and hoodie to cover themselves, so that no one recognise who they were.
Ni-Ki put on his airpods to his ears, playing the songs that were in his favourite playlist, while Suna were just scrolling through her social media to find if there's any interesting gossips on the internet.
"What are you looking at?" Ni-Ki were curious about what the girl were searching on her phone.
"Nothing, just reading some news on the internet." She replied, then continue what she doing earlier.
"Do you want to hear?" He offers his airpods to her, hoping that she would join him vibing to the songs in his playlist.
"Can I?" She asked, before he nodded his head as confirmation.
She put the airpods in her ears as Ni-Ki told her so. The songs that is played right now were 'UNDERSTAND' by Keshi. Ni-Ki has a really good music taste, the girl thought, as all of the songs in his playlist were to her liking. Ni-Ki is happy that she seem to like all of the songs.

[Ni-Ki's POV]
*Thursday ; 7:15 p.m*
We've arrived to our first destination, which is my house in Japan. It has been a long time since I come back to visit my family here, and more importantly, I bring an unexpected guest today.
My sisters, Konon and Misora were a huge fan of Suna. They always bugged me, asking if she is really Sunoo's little sister. When she end the contract with her company, they feel so sad, because they can't see her in public anymore. But, since she is so powerful, she come back to the industry with different career. She waa really an admiration.
After those warm greetings from my family, we finally get ready to sleep after the long day. I can still hear Konon and Misora's voice on next room, talking about how excited they were after seeing Suna in front of their eyes. They couldn't even believe what they see.

*Friday ; 2:00 p.m*
We both stay at the house during the day, but I decided to bring Suna for an outing, this eve. Konon and Misora also invited to join us, as I want to show Suna the 'must go' place in Tokyo, the Disneyland.
After purchasing the tickets, all of us go for the first ride, which is 'Alice's Tea Party', from the 'Alice in Wonderland'. Konon really want to go on this ride, and has been on her list. I couldn't believe that this ride could be so fun, maybe, just maybe, because we ride it together, with my family and also my first ever female friend in Korea, Suna.
Of course not to miss, the carousel is our second ride, since Misora has been crying to go on the ride. The short ride were filled with laughter and happiness, like it was just us existing in that moment. Misora were so happy that she couldn't let go Suna's hand, because she was dizzy because of the ride.
After getting tired, all of us sit at the bench provided, and order ice cream to satisfy our hunger. Even if we already eat, the ride certainly make us hungry again.
"Ni-Ki!" Suna called for me, after finishing her ice cream.
"Hm?" I hummed in confusion.
"What do you want to ride the most?" She asked, with her shining eyes. Now I know, why I like her, it was her eyes.
"I want to ride the Space Mountain." I said, dragging her to the place, while giving signal to Konon so that she can take care of Misora for the time being.
"Are you afraid?" I asked the girl, because she definitely showing signs of fears, her hands were trembling.
"I'm not. I just..." I didn't let her finish her sentence, and just intertwined my hand with hers.
"Ni-Ki?" She look at me confusedly, probably because of my sudden action.
"Just hold my hand if you're afraid. I will not tell Sunghoon about it." I said, making her flusterred.
"Alright, this time only, I will hold your hand." She said, smiling.

*Friday ; 23:45 p.m*
Today was the last day before going back to Korea tomorrow. I am very happy that I finally get to spend my time in Japan with her. But, I am grateful for her presence the most, since this was what I need the most right now.
"Suna, are you asleep?" I enter her room. She's staying in the guest room.
"Oh, not yet. I am calling my sister." She said, showing her phone as a proof that she's calling her sister. She's so cute, showing that she really call her sister while she doesn't even need to do so.
"Can I come in?" I ask. She just nodded.
After she finish talking to her sister on the phone, I want to have a lil chat with her.
"Thank you so much, for everything." I said, smiling at her.
"No worries. This is what I should do, at least for you." She really understand me.
"I hope that you will always be comfortable around me in the future. Hope we can spend more time too." I express myself. It was the first time, I was being honest with someone, other than my own members and family.
"Ni-Ki, I adore you like my friend. Since we are in the same age, I think that I could understand you more as a friend." She explained.
"Thank you, for telling that I am your friend. You're my first ever girl that are my friend." I said, making her falls to laughter.
"Are you really telling me the truth?" She said, not believing what I said.
"Yes, you're my first female friend."
"I feel honored." She smile.
We both continue the conversation until late at night, enjoying the time that we had, before back to reality. She need to go back to her crush, and I need to go back to my career. What she said to me, I really take her words to the deepest part of my heart.
'I hope you find someone that could bring out your inner child, someone that loves you more than you love yourself. May you find the right one.'
