Nude Bus Tour
I responded casually, like I was just fiddling with my phone in front of a woman, and handed it back.
"Don't go around talking nonsense and snapping pics like that. Let's not live like idiots."
She had nothing to say, so she bowed her head deeply and fiddled with her phone.
"If any weird rumors spread, we'll respond at maximum intensity. I'll use every means at my disposal to bury you, so watch yourself."
It was just a momentary correction to make her realize her Twinkle fangirl life could go straight to hell if she messed up. I sat back down in my seat.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, I'm... I came prepared, so it's fine."
Even if she was prepared, it was better if no rumors spread. I patted her head.
"Tough gig, being a celebrity. Hang in there."
The guide boarded, and everyone could see the slightly tense atmosphere, but they didn't comment or question it.
That woman, though—she better not cause any more trouble.
"Alright, everyone. We're about to depart!"
I'll make sure Yoonah has a comfortable trip, no matter what. So if that woman keeps trying stupid shit, I won't just sit back and watch.
"We'll stop at a rest area first, then hit the road properly. The next bathroom's a ways off, so I recommend using it here!"
Everyone got off to use the bathroom, but as Yoonah was getting down, the woman cut in and nearly tripped her. I caught her.
"Hey, what are you—"
"Oh, sorry. Didn't see you there."
She tossed out an insincere apology and bolted to the bathroom.
"I'm fine, so let go now."
I felt Yoonah lightly tapping my shoulder as I set her down. But my eyes were still locked on the bathroom that crazy bitch had run into.
That slut needs a proper lesson.
"Gonna hit the bathroom."
Once Yoonah went in, I stood by the entrance, waiting for the crazy bitch to come out. After a bit, she emerged, spotted me, and flinched hard.
I grabbed the sneaky bitch trying to slink past.
"Wh-what...! I already apologized...!"
She acted like a thief with guilty feet. No, but I'm scary to her—why isn't Yoonah scared of me? Hilarious bitch.
"Your anger seems aimed at me, but it's firing in the wrong direction, don't you think?"
"Wh-what do you mean...?"
"Why? I can't touch you 'cause I'm a guy. Yoonah seems like easy prey?"
"No, that's not it...! It was an accident!"
"Then let's be careful. Accident or not, one more time and I won't let it slide for real."
I squeezed her shoulder hard. She winced.
"Ow, that hurts...! It hurts!"
"Watch yourself."
I let go with a smile, and she scowled but bowed her head deeply, lacking the guts to retort. She scurried back to the bus.
Job done.
"Guess I should use the bathroom too."
The next one's far off, after all. I handled my business, washed my hands clean, and came out to find Yoonah waiting up front.
Damn, goddess mode. Just standing there is a photoshoot.
"Yoonah, wait long?"
"Nah, just got here. Let's go."
"Since we're out, let's browse the rest stop. We've got time."
The guide had announced a return time, and we still had some leeway. I took Yoonah inside, where local specialties lined the shelves. Dairy products dominated, as expected from the region.
"Oh, this looks good."
"Cheese? You'd have to carry it all day."
"True..."
She regretfully set down the cheese she'd picked up. Next time, I'll buy some on the way back.
"They sell these snacks here too?"
I grabbed two packs of the snacks Yoonah liked.
"Two packs?"
"I like 'em too."
We bought snacks, yogurt, this and that, and headed back right on time. Everyone was gathered, so we were the last.
"Sorry, were we late?"
"No, perfect timing! Let's head out."
The bus pulled off and merged onto the highway. Yoonah and I chatted away, with the guide and back-seat guy chiming in occasionally. Aside from the crazy bitch, it was a pretty harmonious Twinkle tour vibe.
"Here, try some of this."
