Japan (2)
We've been in Japan for a week now.
The time to tell the government beforehand has passed, so a lot has happened during that time.
"Today, the investigation into the terrorist groups that attacked you has come in. It seems like criminal punishment is possible."
The president auntie who says this every day, "You guys are working hard," called me on the phone.
Even though it was a formal event as a peace diplomacy team to honor the victims of the third world war, I faithfully performed the schedule requested by the Japanese government.
When the president auntie kept calling, I thought of ignoring it a bit, but to stay true to my role as a good terrorist, I answered her calls one by one.
Eh?
So, what did I say?
"Ah... yes, yes, I see. Well, I understand. Good news."
It's doing something obvious, what's the point of showing off.
And whenever I had time, I checked the reactions in Korea as much as possible.
[-Shock, the government didn't know about the peace diplomacy team? - On May 20th, what happened in the Republic of Korea? - Incompetence of the government, is what is happening now really common sense?]
Even in this situation, big media that survived were criticizing the government like this, and ordinary people's public opinion, from hearing the news, people were subtly anxious.
Of course, a sensible person would do that.
Since we didn't directly ask and hear it, at first I thought it was true, but wasn't it a country that was curious about each other's reactions and was peeping?
In Japan too, they kindly interviewed about the Korean situation and broadcast special features, and seeing reactions on all SNS about us, it seems not wrong.
Still, I went to check directly as promised, but it was all in Japanese, so I didn't understand what it was saying, but there was a lot of "w".
"Welcome. Darling."
On a bright May day, matching the weather, wearing a light pastel-colored, fluffy oversized cardigan and a white one-piece dress that suited her well, Hanna.
Similar to when I first met her, but somehow prettier.
"You're pretty today too."
"Thank you. Hehe."
What,
It's true.
"Today, we're really spending time just the two of us, right?"
"No other plans, right?"
While in Japan, I mostly left direct matters to the support who speaks Japanese well, but since I had a lot of things I had to do, I couldn't spend much time with Hanna.
Not sleeping with Hanna last night was because I was stuck in the hotel working and tired, and Hanna, out of consideration, slept in another room.
"Yeah. Since we came all the way to Japan, we couldn't spend much time together, so today is free."
"So, where did you want to go?"
Well, those two thief cats came in the morning looking for a gap and messing around, but this is fine.
"Ueno Park!"
"Ueno Park?"
"Isn't there a zoo there?"
"There's a zoo and a museum inside the park."
"Really? I didn't know that."
"So... here, mask and hat. Put them on quickly."
"Okay."
Very excited.
Mask and hat.
And Japanese men's clothing style.
When I asked the Japanese government if I could do a normal date with Hanna, it was the conditions presented with polite words.
So, to make it so that we can enjoy the date without attracting attention, they would hold an event where Japanese couples also do dates in the date location, and make it so that we act as if Japanese couples are coming out for dates as much as possible.
Thanks to that, I suffered making the schedule by imitating the subtle differences of Japanese style.
Not me, but Hanna.
Most 20-somethings who came to Japan for the trip would have used the notoriously complicated Tokyo subway, but since we came as national guests, we can't just take the subway in Korea either.
So, I drove the Toyota provided by the Japanese government, carefully driving with the help of the navigation.
The driver's seat and road conditions were really different from Korea, so I thought driving was difficult after a long time.
Noticing that I was tense, Hanna, with a face that didn't seem tense at all, told me about what happened during the week I couldn't be with her.
Seeing a cute three-colored cat on the road, or that the food from a restaurant I didn't expect was really delicious.
Because there were only absurd things I couldn't have imagined in my old country, hearing Hanna's small daily life made my tension loosen, and it became nostalgic and comfortable.
Arriving at Ueno Park while feeling small happiness with Hanna.
"Arrived! We're here, darling!"
"Yeah, yeah, we arrived. So, what should we do first?"
When I got out of the car after parking in the designated parking lot, the tension changed as soon as I got out of the car.
Very excited.
"Hmm... Originally, I was thinking of going straight to the zoo, but the path here is so pretty, so let's walk a little first?"
After the sign indicating the start of the walking path, with a happy face and arms wide open, looking at me and saying something, I couldn't say anything even as a joke that it's not true.
It reminded me of the cute puppy that came with a leash on its own because it really expected a walk with me, and seeing that, I couldn't do anything but think of doing the same.
This cute woman.
"Yeah. Then... hand."
"Yes! Hand!"
So, holding Hanna's hand, we walked through Ueno Park in May.
The Ueno Park I saw while walking with Hanna was famous enough that even I who was new to Japan knew it was a tourist spot, so despite the cliché expression, it was a picture and art everywhere I looked.
When I heard Hanna say that if I had come a little earlier, the cherry blossoms would have been in full bloom, it really made me regret it.
I would have been able to see Hanna in a prettier place.
Leaving the regret behind, even though I usually don't like taking photos, I took out the camera app to take pictures of current Hanna.
To remember this time with Hanna later.
To remember this time.
But really, the person who is unfairly pretty doesn't care about camera filters or the skill of the person taking the photo, and no matter how I take it, it comes out pretty.
I'm not like that, so necessary.
A lot.
"Let's take a picture together~ Okay? Darling."
"I've taken a lot already."
"Still. Take more. Okay?"
Because I usually don't take good photos, and to listen to Hanna's words asking to take more pictures, I suffered a bit but it was fun.
Without receiving any unreasonable malicious feelings from someone, and escaping from having to think about countless things, spending time with the woman I love.
This is Yasuji.
Of course, that was later when we returned to the hotel.
So, while walking and spending time, when it was time for lunch, following what Hanna said in the car, we walked through the food alley without knowing anything and just entered some store that looked delicious.
With the help of Hanna, we ordered the buta don.
It was as if the saying that Japanese people eat little was a lie, and seeing the meat piled up filling the top of the donburi bowl, I thought about it this and that, and realized it was a prank by Hanna.
"You did it on purpose?"
"What? What do you mean?"
"Compared to that, this store really has a lot of portions. My ordered maji soba shouldn't be like this, right?"
It changed...
Hanna changed!
"Still, you can eat it all, right?"
"Well... I don't think it's impossible."
Since they prepared a lot to eat, I have to eat it.
"Then eat it deliciously. If you need more, I'll order more."
"U.. Yeah, thanks. I'll eat it hard."
With the help of the drink, I ate without restraint like a food fighter for the first time in a long time.
For a while, I won't even think about donburi types.
After eating lunch, we went to the Ueno Zoo and Museum I originally wanted to go to and enjoyed the remaining date.
The zoo would be similar to Korea, but since there were various animals, I asked, and they said they would maintain it to the end for the education of the children.
There are too many people and money.
Amazing.
After spending a fun time with Hanna, on the way back to the hotel.
There was something that happened that I shouldn't have let happen.
Kwaang!
On a 4-lane road with orange sunset, driving quietly in the third lane at a constant speed and driving safely,
Some crazy guy driving a black Benz suddenly changed lanes from 1st to 4th lane in one go and exactly hit our car.
With strong impact, the airbag exploded and the car went over the 4 lanes side by side and pushed to the curb of the sidewalk.
Ah...
What is this.
What kind of crazy guy comes in without turning on the blinker.
I haven't seen such a guy in Busan either.
"Crazy guy. Hanna, are you okay?"
"U.. I'm okay."
Not okay.
Who is that guy.
I went to check the face of the guy who needs to go back to driving license academy again after getting out of the car, but
"Sumimasen deshita. Daijoubu desu ka?"
The Japanese I heard while in Japan is somewhat awkward.
Blonde hair and blue eyes.
Clearly different from East Asian skeleton.
Clearly not Japanese, a foreigner.
What is the probability that in a traffic accident in Japan, there is no Japanese?
"Ah... Is it Park Seonghun?"
What?
You know me?
"Well, this is a coincidence. I was on my way to meet you, haha."
A blonde with unknown name comes with awkward Korean and artificial greeting.
Fuck.
That's why, without turning on the blinker, suddenly hit, and it was only hit enough to stop the car without much injury.
"Weren't you hurt a lot? Should I call an ambulance?"
"Ah, I'm Ollie Darel Cannut. A British diplomat. Please call me a British woman comfortably."
Saying that, smiling in a way that suits the expression of being very pretty, extending her hand.
"Get out, you fucking bitch."
I want to kill her.
