The kid just looked at him, confused, and was planning to ignore him. But Sun was really persistent and grabbed the kids' hand. The guards were shocked but the kid waved his hand as he was telling them to standby.
“Where are we going?”
“We are going to play.” Sun smiled brightly.
"What? Play with me?" The kid answered, surprised.
"Why? You don't like to play?" Sun asked.
The kid stared at him for a minute, as if he was studying Sun. It felt like he was checking if he can be trusted or not. Sun let the kid think first, so that he will not get annoyed with him.
"Fine, I'll go along with you. Just give me a minute." The kid answered and moved back to the guards. He can see that he was whispering something to them and the guards left.
"You are really persistent." The kid went back to him.
"Well, I saw you alone, as if no one wanted to go near you, and that's the reason why. Honestly, I felt bad that's why I came." Sun answered.
"But you don't even know me personally, so why would you keep the company of a stranger." The kid asked.
"Well, I don't know. It feels like a rope was pulling me towards you."
"A rope? What do you mean by that?" The kid asked.
"Nevermind that, come on. Let's play." Sun said and pulled the kid towards the see-saw.
The two began to play but Sun noticed that the other kid was uninterested. It feels like he waa just doing what he wanted to do, and cannot even make proper reactions.
A couple of minutes passed, but everything was still the same. As soon as they moved to a diferent spot, Sun approached the kid.
"I'm really sorry for dragging you into this." Sun said, and lowered his head.
"Why are you apologizing? Actually, I am just holding myself back. I don't want you to be involved with the rumors that surround me." The kid answered.
"What rumors?" Sun asked.
"I guess you really don't know about me. Well, nevermind." The kid said.
An idea suddenly flashed in Sun's mind. He was thinking if he can make the kid smile.
"Let's go over there." Sun said happily.
The kid followed him and after a few minutes, they arrived at the Koi pond.
"A koi pond?" The kid asked.
