[Amusement Park Day]
After playing and having sex in the onsen-like pool again, we spent the night drinking just like the day before. I still had no idea where all that alcohol kept coming from.
Then morning came. The third day at the accommodation.
Maybe it was because our drinking limits had been subtly confirmed and we drank accordingly, but we actually woke up feeling refreshed instead of being crippled by hangovers and wanting to sleep in like last time.
We got up feeling great, washed up, and ate breakfast.
Today was the day we planned to go to the nearby amusement park. Seeing my girls completely ready to have a blast, I nodded and smiled.
"Ready to go?"
"Yeah!"
"Amusement park! Amusement park!"
"Let's hurry!"
Hearing the lively answers from the three girls, we headed to the amusement park.
There weren't that many people looking for an amusement park at the crack of dawn. Or rather, maybe it was thanks to us coming on a relatively later day, the third day, to avoid the crowds. Anyway, because of that, we were able to enter the park with light steps, enjoying the crisp air.
As expected, the park was pretty quiet since it was still early.
Strangely enough, my head was completely spinning.
"Jihoon! Let's ride that one!"
"Jihoon. Jihoon. This one. This one."
"Lee Jihoon! I want to ride that! Let's go together!"
That was probably because the three girls weren't leaving me alone for a second. Every single ride they wanted to get on, they specifically wanted to ride with me. They could just ride them together without me, honestly.
"Okay, okay. Let's start with whatever Nayeong wants to ride first."
I tried to treat the three girls equally, but I couldn't always manage it. In times like this, I had to prioritize Nayeong.
"Heheh...! Jihoon, I love you!"
Nayeong was genuinely happy that I chose her first and hugged me tightly. Wrapping her arms around my neck and showering my cheeks with kisses felt great, but...
"Mm... I guess we can't help it."
"Yeah... the main wife goes first. Sigh."
My heart ached a little knowing that Mijin and Chaeyeon were subtly hurt by being pushed down the order, even if they understood.
This was the downside of a harem, no doubt about it.
But prioritizing Nayeong didn't mean I was discriminating against the others. I planned to ride every ride they wanted, if I could help it. I definitely... used to think that.
"Ugh... Seriously, I'm dying here."
Already exhausted, I escaped to the restroom for a moment. Resting my arms on the sink, I checked my current state in the mirror. My face was just as worn out as my tired body.
Like I said before, because there were so few people, and thanks to the expensive VIP tickets that saved us from wasting time waiting in lines, we'd managed to ride almost every single ride in a very short amount of time. Despite that, lunchtime was just approaching. Why the hell...?
Subjectively, it already felt like evening, so why was it only lunchtime? It was like the world was deliberately slowing down time just to mess with me.
"Haah..."
At least lunchtime gave me a moment to breathe. I splashed some water on my face, dried it off with some paper towels, and walked out of the bathroom. Right in front of the men's room, I found the three girls waiting impatiently for me. They were glaring at the men's restroom with sharp eyes.
"Ah..."
A man who had come out of the bathroom before me flinched and stopped in his tracks under their gaze. He clutched his oddly fluttering heart.
Then they spotted me.
"You're late! We still have a ton of rides left!"
Chaeyeon huffed and urged me on. The amusement park, which had looked small from the outside, was surprisingly huge inside with tons of rides. That's why she was rushing me, afraid we might not get to ride everything in just one day.
"Sorry, sorry."
I passed by the man and walked over to my girls. The man behind me let out a sigh, thinking, "Man, I'm damn jealous," but forced himself to stop thinking about it due to the huge age gap, and went on his way.
"Now it's my turn! I want to ride this!"
With her turn finally here, Chaeyeon grinned and picked a roller coaster. Cold sweat poured down my back. I had sworn never to ride it again after I went on it once last year when I went to the amusement park with my family. Chaeyeon, completely oblivious to my feelings, hooked her arm through mine, giggling, saying she'd make me sit next to her.
"Hey, Chaeyeon."
"Hm? Why?"
"Aren't you hungry? It's lunchtime. How about we eat first and then ride?"
I knew I'd have to ride it eventually no matter what, but I wanted to postpone my execution, even if just for a little bit. Chaeyeon reluctantly nodded, realizing she was hungry too.
"That's true too! Let's eat first then!"
"Haha. Yeah. What do you want to eat?"
"Hmm... what's good here?"
Even if she asked what was good, I hadn't looked up the best places to eat inside the amusement park in advance, so I had no idea.
"Hmph. You mean you don't know? Did you not do your research?"
Chaeyeon smiled and attacked me, seizing the opportunity.
"Poor preparation."
It was technically a valid point, but come on. Was it reasonable to expect me to research the restaurants inside the amusement park?
"Hehe. I'm just joking!"
Chaeyeon, who loved her mischievous pranks, said it was just a joke this time too and clung to me, telling me to relax my stiff face.
"Are you mad? Do you want to touch my boobs?"
I wasn't mad in the first place, but touching her boobs wouldn't make me less mad.
"Eek?!"
I grabbed her breasts and started rubbing her thighs roughly.
"W-What are you doing...! What the hell are you doing!"
She never dreamed I would actually touch her breasts. Even her thighs too. She screamed as if accusing me, shouting, "What if someone sees?", and slipped out of my grip. Her face flushed bright red, even her ears turning crimson, and she glared at me while panting heavily.
"I'm not mad anymore."
I said calmly, flexing my hand in the air as if the feeling of her body still lingered.
"Pervert..."
Luckily, there was no one around to see me touching her. Actually, I only did it so brazenly because I knew that.
"What? You liked it too, didn't you?"
I shamelessly asked if she liked it. It was a line you'd expect to hear from a rapist.
"..."
Chaeyeon's face turned even redder, and she just hung her head without refuting it. Whoa. Did she actually like it? Did she get off on the possibility of someone seeing us?
I was briefly stunned, but quickly pulled out my smartphone, found a decent restaurant, and led the girls to eat.
Of course, after we finished eating, the roller coaster Chaeyeon had picked was waiting for me. Since she wanted it, I closed my eyes tightly and rode it once. I wasn't much different from the me of a year ago.
"Urgh...!"
The long minutes on the roller coaster finally ended, and I stumbled out with a pale face. I rushed straight to the bathroom, worried I might throw up, but luckily, the food I just ate didn't come back up.
"Jihoon... are you okay?"
Nayeong was worried about me as I walked out of the bathroom. I forced a smile and said I was fine, but I was staggering, and I collapsed onto a bench.
"We still have a lot of rides to go on though..."
I let out a hollow laugh when I saw Chaeyeon looking disappointed not in my well-being, but in the fact that there were many rides left for us to ride together. She laughed along with me.
"You know I'm joking, right?"
Sometimes, it was hard to tell if she was joking or serious.
"Sorry, but can you guys play by yourselves for a while? I'm exhausted."
"It's obvious you're having a hard time... so, okay."
She was disappointed, but my condition was terrible, so she couldn't really drag me along. Mijin nodded in understanding.
"Nayeong, let's go."
"I... want to stay with Jihoon..."
Worried about her boyfriend more than having fun with her friends, Nayeong's steps didn't move. Mijin firmly grabbed her arm.
"Your boyfriend isn't an idiot, and he's not the type to get dragged off by anyone. Let's go play."
She insisted we came all this way, so we had to get our money's worth.
"She's right, Nayeong. He'll be fine on his own. Go ahead."
"But still..."
"It's fine. It's fine. Go have fun for me too."
"Yeah... okay."
Nayeong finally moved her feet to go play.
"Phew... finally alone."
My body might be young, but my mind had already experienced enough of society's absurdities. Because of that, while the first time was fun, the more I went, the faster I got bored of amusement parks. My body felt more tired than usual for no reason, too. So, just sitting here and looking at my phone was the most comfortable thing to do.
Wait, is it just because I still have that loser mentality in me? It was a reasonable thought.
"Hmm. Come to think of it, it should be around this time now."
I looked at the Future Smartphone and my current dumb phone and started making plans in advance.
It wasn't until the sun had almost completely set that the three girls who had left to play without me finally returned to my side.
And so we went back to the accommodation. We had played so hard that we quickly felt our bodies' fatigue and fell asleep early. Thus, the third day came to an end.
Then the next day, the last day. We went to an indoor ski resort, ate lunch, and then headed straight home. And just like that, our three-night, four-day long trip came to an end.
