Chapter 142 – Summer Vacation (7) – Water Park

We enjoyed the water slides as much as we could before the crowds started to pile up, and then spent time in the lazy river with waves and the outdoor wave pool where large waves came periodically.

While playing, the three people’s cell phones were continuously taking all kinds of photos and videos.

Yuri whining as her tube caught on her chest while trying to take it off, Eunji covering herself in surprise every time someone takes a picture of her because she’s wearing a slut-like micro bikini, and Yumin taking various poses and taking selfies in the photo zone. …

And fortunately, Yuri and Yumin didn’t seem as cold as they did at first, perhaps because they were on the same tube on the water slide for the first time.

They still didn’t talk to each other much and didn’t want to make eye contact, but they didn’t avoid them outright either.

Deciding that it was time to reconcile the two, I decided to play catch.

As my body temperature dropped after playing in the water for a while, I pretended to be cold and shivered slightly.

“Ugh… I’ve been in the water for so long that it’s a bit cold. I heard there was a hot tub here earlier. Would you like to warm up for a bit? How about you guys?”

Yumin also responded to my words with a slight tremble.

“It’s definitely a little cold. I like it. I want to take a dip in something warm.”

“Me too.”

Yuri very briefly agreed with her sister.

“I saw where the outdoor hot tub was on my way earlier. Over there!”

Eunji must have been a little cold, so he agreed with my suggestion to warm up for a moment, so we all took a dip in the heated outdoor pool.

The temperature of the water was the same as that of a public bathhouse, so as soon as I took a dip, my entire body was enveloped in comfortable warmth.

“Whoa… I think I’ll buy it. It’s warm.”

“Haaaaa… It’s heaven… I wish I could live like this for the rest of my life…”

Eunji leaned back in the hot tub, closed her eyes, and stretched.

Sister Yu-min and Yuri seemed to like the warmth and smiled happily as they quietly closed their eyes.

“How is it, are you happy to come?”

Yuri responded immediately to what I said.

“Yes. I really like it… Furthermore, I should have come to a place like this in the summer instead of just studying every day during vacation.”

With that, Yuri crossed her arms and leaned her head against me.

“What about you?”

It means am I having fun?

I answered, placing my hand on top of her hand in the glass of water.

“Good. Fun, happy, eye candy…”

At the last word, Yuri lightly pinched my hand.

“Except for one thing that’s a bit disappointing, everything else is good.”

Then all three eyes turned to me.

“Do you regret it?”

“What is it? Is there anything you don’t like?”

Eunji and Yumin also asked me questions, as if that statement bothered them.

“Yes, there is one thing that is disappointing. It feels like 3+1 instead of 4.”

“…?”

“What do you mean? Isn’t it the same thing?”

“Hmm, what can I say… It’s difficult to express it accurately in words.”

As I said that, I held Yuri’s hand a little harder.

“When I’m playing or talking with Yu-min, Yu-min doesn’t say a word to you. He doesn’t join in. It’s like he’s invisible. When I’m like that with Yu-min, Yuri becomes invisible.”

“…”

“…”

The two seemed to have nothing to say at that point, so they momentarily became dumb.

“When I’m hanging out with Eunji, it would be nice if the two of us could keep playing together, but at that time, the two of us are on our own. It’s like the four of us don’t get along at the same time, but when the three of us hang out, it feels like one person is missing? It’s just that I’m a little disappointed. Oh, it’s just a big complaint. I didn’t do it, so don’t worry too much.”

I pretended like nothing had happened and said something very lightly, but it didn’t seem to have touched the people involved, Yumin and Yuri, so they were silent for a long time.

Of course, that’s what I was aiming for.

After soaking in the hot tub for a while, Yumin, who seemed to be thinking about something, looked at Yuri and secretly tried to congratulate Eunji.

“Hey, Eunji. Come to think of it, I heard you were selling beaded ice cream earlier, and I want to eat that.”

“? Eat, then.”

“No, I want you to buy it. I already paid for and borrowed your life jackets with mine, so I barely have any money left.”

While saying that, I desperately winked at Eunji and gestured so that Yumin and Yuri could not see.

And it is true that I actually borrowed all the life jackets for 4 people with my coins, so my money was drastically reduced.

Eunji realized a little too late that I had a different intention and then stood up.

“Okay, then. Let’s go together.”

“Yumin, Yuri. Do you want to eat some beaded ice cream too? If you want to eat it, please bring it with us while we’re at it.”

“Huh? I’m… Fine.”

“I’m fine too… I’ll just stay here a little longer.”

“Oh, okay, okay. Then you really just buy it for me? You won’t regret it, right?”

“Yes, it’s okay.”

After receiving confirmation from Yumin and Yuri, I took Eunji with me and headed to the bead ice cream stand that was located just enough to be out of sight of the two.

Because you both need to give them some time.

#####

While Han Seong-jin and Jeong Eun-ji left for a while to buy ice cream, Yu-ri Lee sat in the hot tub, tilted her head back and thought for a moment.

Even before Han Seong-jin came here, she had repeatedly expressed her wish for her and her sister to reconcile.

Even now, the sisters were in an awkward state, but the words Han Seong-jin had just said kept ringing in her head.

– It’s not like the four of us get along at the same time, but when the three of us play, it feels like one person is missing? It’s just that it’s a bit disappointing.

She said she didn’t have any major complaints, but knowing Han Seong-jin’s personality, she really didn’t think he had any complaints.

He was afraid that he would worry and make me feel uncomfortable, so he pretended as much as possible that nothing had happened.

Even though it is clear that he feels a lot of regret on the inside.

‘Because of me…’

Han Seong-jin came this far by working two part-time jobs a day during the vacation to make good memories during the summer without any household expenses, but in reality, he still hasn’t reconciled with his sister for fighting a long time ago and made it obvious that Han Seong-jin can’t enjoy his vacation properly. Made.

When she thought about it, she felt angry at herself.

Why did she fight with her sister in the first place?

Oh, that’s right.

Her older sister comes to pick a fight with her over her relationship with Seong Jin. So she couldn’t control her anger and hit her first, then she fought a lot.

But why was he so angry that day?

Did Choi Soo-yeon pick a fight with her about everything?

Because there were signs that she was trying to get involved with Eunji?

She couldn’t even remember the exact reason why she was so angry that day.

Han Seong-jin and Jeong Eun-ji’s position was put in an awkward position as they fought and were at odds with each other for over a month for reasons they couldn’t even remember.

If the two of them are like that, there’s no way the other two will be comfortable.

Even though she wanted to apologize, it was awkward to actually say it, so she got to this point, so Lee Yu-ri gathered courage first.

She took a long, deep breath and quietly spoke to Lee Yu-min, who was sitting in the hot tub.

“… Sister.”

“… Why.”

Our conversations with each other were still extremely short.

Yuri Lee slightly turned her body towards her sister and spoke to her at an angle.

“I’m sorry.”

“… What?”

“I’m sorry. Last time… I hit your sister, and we fought.”

Lee Yu-min was speechless for a moment at Yu-ri Lee’s honest apology.

“Well… I didn’t hate it so much that I didn’t talk to my sister for this long… Furthermore, I wanted to apologize, but I missed the right time to say it, so it was a bit awkward… Well, so… Ugh…”

Lee Yu-ri, who was honestly confessing her feelings, suddenly choked up and cried, as if something had stirred her up.

“I-I didn’t mean to ruin the mood like this… Seongjin or Eunji might be embarrassed… So… I wanted to apologize now… Ok…”

Lee Yu-ri didn’t even know why she was crying right now.

She wasn’t sad or upset, but she just cried.

Then, her older sister Lee Yu-min, with tears in her eyes, barely answered with a lump in her throat.

“Oh, no… I’m sorry too… I had no reason to fight with you like that back then… I-I wasn’t this angry either…”

Lee Yu-min mumbled while wiping away her falling tears.

“At that time… You grabbed my face and shook it in a bad mood… I-I’m sorry… I said I was taking my anger out on you for no reason… Ki hee…”

“Hi… Uh, sis… So… We’re reconciled now…?”

“Sniff… Ugh, yeah… I’m not really that angry…”

“Me too… Hehe…”

The sisters, who had been fighting over a man, became more and more awkward as the Cold War prolonged, and it became difficult to reconcile, but it took two months for them to finally reconcile thanks to the subtle mediation of the man who caused the conflict.

After making up with her sister, she let out her pent-up feelings and only then did she share her thoughts on the water park today and about her boyfriend, Han Seong-jin.

As we were in the middle of the conversation, Han Seong-jin returned with Jeong Eun-ji.

“We’re here.”

“Are you here? Why are you so late?”

“I see. Didn’t it take too long? Did you go to the bathroom?”

“Haha, sorry, sorry. I took a wrong turn, and it took me a while to find it. But they seem to be getting along well? Have they reconciled?”

The sisters flinched at Han Seong-jin’s sly smile and looked at each other.

And answered at the same time.

“What do you mean?”

“Really? That’s good. I was actually a little worried what would happen if you guys didn’t talk or hang out all day today.”

“Wouldn’t it be nice to have one less thing to worry about?”

“Of course it’s good.”

Seongjin Han smiled and added a word.

“Good or bad.”

His smile had a sense of relief that the sisters had finally reconciled and relieved some of the burden on his heart, but apart from that, it also contained the joy of a predator seeing a very desirable prey.

However, the sister did not notice her second emotion.
