That Sunday, the school held a study tour to the zoo. The weather was bright, the sky clear, and laughter filled the air. You and Deigo — longtime best friends — were among the most excited, since both of you loved animals.

When you arrived, the students scattered into their own groups, but you and Deigo stayed together as always. Everyone was already used to seeing the two of you side by side wherever you went.

Yet behind his easygoing attitude, Deigo was hiding something. He wanted to be more than just your friend but was too afraid to lose you if he confessed. So, he buried his feelings, masking them with playful teasing that always managed to catch your attention.

As you both walked past the animal enclosures, you suddenly stopped in front of the horse area. Some people were riding gracefully, and the sight amazed you. You looked at Deigo and said excitedly, "I want to ride that horse!"

Deigo turned to you with his usual mischievous smile and softly replied, "You already have me — why would you need to ride that horse?"
