The amusement park lights made everything look beautiful.
But Katie couldn't enjoy any of it.
She quietly walked beside Tian.
Neither of them spoke.
Finally—
Tian suddenly reached for her hand.
"Let's go."
Katie looked down.
"Huh?"
Before she could react—
Tian started walking.
Still holding her hand.
"W-What?"
"Where?"
Tian looked ahead.
"The ferris wheel."
"H-Hey!"
Katie stumbled slightly trying to keep up.
A few minutes later—
Both sat quietly inside the ferris wheel cabin.
The city lights slowly became smaller below them.
Katie looked nervous.
Tian remained quiet.
Too quiet.
Finally—
He turned toward her.
"Tell me the truth, Katie."
Katie blinked.
"What?"
Tian looked directly into her eyes.
"What's your relationship with him?"
Katie froze.
"Who?"
"The guy earlier."
Katie immediately looked away.
"Nothing…"
Tian frowned.
"Nothing?"
"Then why did you go there with him?"
Katie lowered her head.
"I…"
The ferris wheel continued moving slowly.
Everything suddenly felt quiet.
Tian moved closer.
"Tell me."
Katie became nervous.
"Tian…"
"Tell me."
Katie looked confused.
"What are you doing?"
Tian's expression changed.
For the first time—
He looked frustrated.
"Why are you avoiding me?"
Katie's eyes widened.
"Tian…"
He moved closer again.
"Tell me."
"Tian—stop…"
Katie's heart started beating faster.
"What's wrong with you?"
For a moment—
Neither moved.
Outside—
The amusement park lights continued shining.
Inside—
Everything suddenly felt different.
