Theme Park (2)
I was looking at Song Hanna who had come down from the hotel, and she was completely different from the appearance I remembered from the past.
Unlike the way she looked on the first day, her hair had become a bit lighter, closer to beige, and instead of covering her body with slightly larger clothes like a long skirt and cardigan, she was now wearing a black shirt paired with a basic skirt that reached her knees. The gentle feeling had vanished, and somehow... the overall vibe had become more flashy.
Anyway, it suited her far too well, and she had truly become beautiful. The makeup style seemed to have changed as well...
I honestly didn't know what to make of it—
Ah.
What had I said?
"Eh? No. I didn't wait long."
"Really? That's a relief."
"Was the hair dyed?"
"That's... yes. While resting at the hotel, I got it done once. What do you think?"
I had thought I was getting used to it, but something... it started to make me nervous.
"Pretty. Honestly, I don't know exactly how everything changed, but it really suits you."
"Hehe. Thank you."
"Then shall we get in the car?"
"Yes!"
After opening the car door and confirming that she carefully got in, I closed the door and came to the driver's seat to start the engine.
And to avoid creating an awkward atmosphere, I needed to talk, but nothing suitable came to mind.
"Do you know where we're going?"
"Yes! My unnie the writer told us that she was going to take us to the theme park."
I knew?
It seemed like a slight heart sting from the continued information sharing omission.
"What? I didn't know."
"You didn't know?"
"Yeah. No one told me, so I found out while coming to the hotel."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Oh, I see. Still, it sounds fun, right? This is the first time I've been since I went on a math trip in high school, so I'm really excited."
"Yeah? Me too, it's the first time since high school math trip. It'll be fun, right?"
"Yes!"
There was one chance, but it got blurry in the middle.
After that, while talking about various things, a signal from the front came.
"Follow me. I'll start."
"Ne~"
Following the car ahead, we drove to the theme park prepared for today.
It was a theme park in the metropolitan area that was often chosen for math trips or date courses, so it was worth visiting once, but until now, I had gone to other places nearby, so this was the first time for this theme park.
So when I first heard about it, I thought it would be crowded and complicated, just tiring, but when I arrived, it was quite close to Seoul as heard, spacious, with both indoor and outdoor areas, and most of all, the lively atmosphere that could only be seen in the pre-cataclysm world looked fun.
Moreover, there were only about 3000 people there.
At first, when entering, we held the pamphlet given at the entrance and thought about the route together, and seeing the zierodrop falling in front of us, we couldn't hold back the boiling excitement.
Just forgetting all the plans we had set up and running straight to it with her, and after getting on, we ran shouting the names of the rides we saw or broadcasted, lined up and rode.
Truly... forgetting all the tension I had about Song Hanna's new appearance and enjoying it like high school students on a math trip together with her.
After playing for a while, when our stomachs were full of what we ate for breakfast and we were hungry and our feet hurt, we came to the food court.
"It was really fun, wasn't it?"
"Yeah. Totally."
"Ah. The vibration bell rang! I'll bring it for you."
She went ahead before I could even say anything, even though she was tired too.
I could have gone too.
Thank you.
While quietly resting, grateful for Song Hanna's consideration, and looking around other tables, except our table, there was one man and many women, so a bright atmosphere flowed.
Of course, there were tables where everyone was enjoying together.
In such an atmosphere, I'd definitely get sick of eating.
Ah.
It was really fortunate that we came alone.
Still, thinking that it was a bit much to enjoy this opportunity only with the two of us, I thought I might invite another couple tomorrow, but seeing this, I hesitated.
Should I just not?
Ah, there goes Hyeongcheol.
"Hey~ Brother~."
"Yeah? Why are you here?"
"Obviously, I came to eat."
"Then why are you alone?"
"I went to pick up the order."
"Yeah?"
"Hyeongcheol, what are you doing? Who is this?"
Suddenly, a woman with a somewhat soft impression joined the conversation.
Is this woman Hyeongcheol's girlfriend?
"Ah. This is my friend Seonghun. Say hello."
"Hello~ Hyeongcheol's girlfriend is Kim Somin."
What kind of talk is this.
Girlfriend?
"Girlfriend?"
"Yeah. The girlfriend who got separated because of the war. Thanks to Somin applying, we could meet again."
Wow.
Is that possible?
"Interesting. Hello. I'm Park Seonghun."
"There's nothing interesting about it. We just met the person we love. How old?"
"Ah, Hyeongcheol and I are both 25 years old."
"What? Same age? Then I'll use informal speech."
Hmm. That's correct...
But somehow the feeling is weird.
"I brought it~ Eh? Who... is it?"
"Ah. This is Yoo Hyeongcheol, my friend. Next to him is his girlfriend Kim Somin."
"Hello. I'm Song Hanna."
"Yes, hello. I'm Kim Somin."
"Oh. Our order is out too. Then we'll go. Ah, right. You can talk to me later."
"Yeah. See you later."
Was the call coming?
"What kind of talk?"
"Yeah? Nothing. Just talking between guys."
"Really?"
"Yeah! To talk, I need to be alone for a bit, is that okay?"
"Of course it's okay. I'll look around the souvenir shop until then. See you later."
Wow... she considered this first? Angel.
Angel.
"Then what should we eat first? I brought more than the ordered things for the delicious looking ones!"
"Then... I'll have churros."
"Yes. Wait a moment.... Since it's hot, wrap it in a napkin and eat it."
"Thank you. I'll eat well."
"Yes!"
She's really an angel.
Then, after filling my stomach appropriately and resting, I slipped out to the place where I received a call from Hyeongcheol thanks to Song Hanna's consideration.
"Hey. The two guys don't want to be in this tulip garden, so let's make the purpose quick."
"Hey, me too. I was just asking Somin why she had to go and came quickly."
Wow.
This guy is completely different from his looks, dating like this.
It was tight.
"So what is it?"
"You already know, right? Why did I go on the second day. All the other male kids are curious and complaining. They want to go out driving like you."
"Hey. Did I act without thinking during that time? There were circumstances."
Actually, it was without thinking.
But I can't say the truth.
"So what is it?"
"I went to meet Yeeun and came back why."
"Yeeun? Kim Eunjung's right hand?"
"Yeah. You remember what I said before. That some guy among the males has to meet Kim Eunjung and get married."
"Right? It was like that."
"Why did you go to talk about that."
"But did you have to go all the way there?"
"If not, how would I meet her."
"Hmm... Is that what it was? Really?"
"Yeah. I met her then and asked her to tell Kim Eunjung, and we exchanged contact once more."
"What did she say?"
"I don't know. She doesn't answer when I ask. So we're talking to make it a video call or something."
Honestly, it was a coincidence, but lying made my heart sting a bit.
"Yeah?"
"Yeah. It was just that you guys were on dates and the situation was urgent, so I couldn't tell you in advance."
"There was a reason."
"So you take responsibility and tell the other guys. Got it?"
So when it's like this, I should run away.
"I'm going."
"Hey. Why are you doing that, you bastard!"
"I don't know. You asked, so you do it."
"Hey!"
Who told you to ask?
Big power comes with big responsibility.
Hyeongcheol.
It's all your fault.
You take responsibility.
After running away like that, I came to the souvenir shop where Song Hanna was waiting.
The famous chocolates from childhood were still being sold, and mascot products or hats like products sold in the past were being sold as is.
It felt nostalgic.
The chocolates that Hyeongcheol and noonas gave as gifts when I went on math trips in childhood.
Should I buy one separately?
While thinking about various things while lost in memories, I looked around, and from in front of the mascot products, I saw the beige-haired one I was looking for.
"Wow!"
"Ah! When did you come! I was surprised."
"Just now."
Turning around with a surprised expression and saying it was too fun.
Ah, cute.
It's a type that can play around with.
"Really... this is cute, right. Should I buy one?"
"That's good too. I'm going to buy chocolates."
"Eh? You like chocolates?"
"No. Just because it's been a while."
"Yeah, I guess. I also got chocolates as gifts from unnies when they came back from math trips in childhood."
"Me too. Still, if I buy it now, it's inconvenient to carry, so let's buy it tomorrow."
"Yeah~."
"The weather is good and the tulip garden in front is pretty, how about walking there and then riding the rides?"
"Yeah! I like it."
"Yeah. Let's go."
Holding hands, we walked through the people gathered at the entrance to the park I mentioned.
Good weather, good place, good people.
With the three things matching, the tulip park that looked dull when Hyeongcheol and I came seemed too pretty as it became lively.
"Hmm. Nice."
"..... Me too."
"Eh? What? I said I like the park."
"Yeah? ... Nothing."
"What? Tell me."
"I like the park too."
"Yeah? I liked holding hands too. Shall I let go?"
"... That's fine without doing that. So don't keep teasing me!"
Does this woman not know that the more I do that, the more she wants to tease?
So I pretended to let go and pulled her to kiss.
