As the hours slipped by, they wandered from place to place, strolling at an easy pace through the snowy streets.
They enjoyed the small things: the view of the snow-covered central plaza, the little trinkets sold at street stalls, the laughter of passing students bundled up in scarves and mittens.
Even though they didn't venture too far — most of the places they visited were within the central part of the commercial district — it didn't really matter.
The academy grounds were massive anyway, and at their slow, comfortable pace, this was as much ground as they could cover.
Little by little, as the snow gently fell and the day quietly passed, Seo started to truly understand what Riley meant earlier by "doing fun things."
It wasn't about going somewhere grand or doing something extravagant.
It was simply about being together — laughing, talking, walking side by side without any rush or pressure.
