Chapter 22 – Family Travel. (3)

“Sister!!”

We stood in line together, and when we went out to buy snacks, we got out of line together. I didn’t hold her hand because it was awkward, but I definitely felt that she was next to me.
But while I was lost in thought for a moment, my sister disappeared.

“Sister!!!”

I shouted, but other people only looked at me, and no sister came.

‘It’s probably because of me…’

My sister isn’t even a kid, and in general there’s no way she gets lost in the crowd. That’s because there are cell phones these days. Seeing as he deliberately doesn’t answer the phone, it’s clear that he’s avoiding me.

“Where did you go? At this critical time…”

There is no particular place our family has gone to. I bought a ticket at the ticket office, went straight to the Viking ride, and followed the road that I saw to ride the roller coaster. The route is simple, but difficult to find due to its length. Besides, since it was my first time visiting, I didn’t even know the geography, so if I kept going like this, I’d end up reporting my older sister missing.
You have to find your sister quickly before it gets to that point. If my parents found out, there would be an uproar.

[I’ll go to the bathroom with my sister]

After texting her mom, she started running.

✘✘✘

“Ha…”

I received an amusement park pamphlet and went around almost all of them while running, but I couldn’t even see my sister’s L character. I don’t think there are many people like my sister, but I couldn’t see her even after washing my eyes.

‘I’m sure it’s not a women’s bathroom…’

If there are places I haven’t been to, it’s only places that I can’t enter unless I have a special purpose, such as a shelter for lost children and an infirmary. At least I can’t enter the women’s bathroom where there is a possibility that my sister is there because I’m not a woman. I can’t even ask you to find my sister.
I could only sigh at the whereabouts of my sister, who was gradually falling into the labyrinth.

“Ha…”

Even after searching like this, the only conclusion was that the invisible place was a women’s bathroom. A person like my sister would be in a place where no one could come, as if she were sincerely asking not to find her.
As she was sitting on a bench by the side of the road, catching her breath, a possibility occurred to her.

“… Oh, please.”

Last possibility. Because of her older sister’s personality, she doesn’t have to move around, but if she’s moving around, if she’s in a place where she can be found, there’s a chance she’ll be found.
With about 40 minutes of waiting time left before riding the roller coaster, I have to find my sister, solve the problem, and go back before my parents worry.
This time, I changed my strategy and decided to sit down and wait. I kept a close eye on my sister in case she passed by this way while wandering around.

“…”

In case you didn’t know I was here, my sister didn’t pass by even when I waited for a drink from the vending machine.
If I went back to my parents’ side, they would have contacted me. Seeing as I haven’t heard back, it’s clear that he hasn’t returned yet.
Not knowing that my legs were shaking from nervousness, I gulped down the rest of the drink.

‘Shall we go back one last time…’

I got up from my seat because I had to wait in line again. Maybe they’ll understand if I tell them that after one last lap, I explain the situation to my parents and that my sister has gone to the infirmary——

‘Huh?’

I can feel the popularity following me from earlier. Maybe it was because of my mood, but every time I turned around while running, the same object in a different landscape, to be precise, the black padding, continued to stay in one place. It wasn’t there until recently. The top of the hat rose and fell repeatedly, as if breathing hard due to the strength there.
While the subject was turning around, he succeeded in moving right behind him without being noticed.

“… You kept looking.”
“… !”

That identity was, of course, her older sister.

✘✘✘

“Uh, how… ?”
“You’re the only one here who dresses like that, right? Who keeps hiding and chasing me?”
“…”

As if she really knew she wouldn’t be caught, a look of bewilderment was evident on her sister’s face. It’s probably because he felt ashamed of himself for being caught, and he was sorry that he had troubled me by falling away from me for no reason. In the end, though, it was because of me who lied to my older sister.

“That, that…”
“Let’s hurry. Worry about your parents.”
“Oh…”

I somehow interrupted my sister, who was thinking of an excuse, and squeezed her hand tightly. Even my older sister, who flinched at first, followed without resistance.
Then he hugged me from behind.

“I’m sorry… I just got grumpy… Ugh…”
“I’m sorry.”

Sniffing her nose, I turned around and hugged my sister again. My sister hugged me even tighter. Like you don’t want to miss out. I’ll never do that again, so I’m begging you to forgive me.
I also stroked her sister and shook her head.

“I’m sorry for saying that too.”
“Heh, heh…”
“That… It’s nothing, but… Just thinking about the future made me a little scared.”
“From now on… ?”

My older sister looked up at me, wiping away her stinging tears. I was a little afraid to say something because the expression was full of fear.
After I’m discharged, maybe after that, I have to tell my sister. The unavoidable truth.
… But even if she said it now, it seemed that the tears would not stop flowing.

“When I go to the army, I have to separate from my sister again. It’s only two weeks.”
“Huh…”
“So it was. How are you doing?”
“Okay… ?”

Only then did my older sister’s expression brighten up a little. I smiled bitterly and turned my body back.

“Let’s hurry. It could be really late.”
“Huh!”

In the end, I lied again.

✘✘✘

“Wherever you went, you’re here now! You were worried!”
“Because my sister went to the bathroom and lost her way. It took me a while to find.”
“He’s really… Are you hurt anywhere?”
“Ugh…”

Fortunately, it was just before entering the building, so I was able to get on the line. My sister lowered her head, saying she was sorry, but her interest did not reach her mother, who had already turned to the boarding area, so I held her hand. Soothed

“I’m going to ride with mom and dad.”
“Is that so? Why? Wanna ride with her mom?”
“No.”

When I arrived at the boarding area, my parents rode in the front and we rode in the back. A gloomy wind leaks from the entrance where the roller coaster starts, making the normally cold weather feel even colder. Anyway, it’s a video.

“How many years has your sister been riding this?”
“Um… Middle school is the last time…”
“Ah… Okay… ?”

Middle school is the last. I had no choice but to show a trembling reaction because I was stabbed for no reason. If I hadn’t done that, I think the last would not have been last week. With that face and that personality, she would probably have wiped out the popularity of her classmates.

[We’re leaving!]

Immediately after the employee’s starting remarks, the roller coaster rattled off. The national rule of almost all roller coasters is to go slowly and then go fast.

“Kyaaaaa!”
“…”

As in Viking, my mother took away all the reactions of the rest of my family, and I was enjoying myself, feeling the wind brushing her face. My sister and father were holding the safety bar and bowing their heads.
Then, the car body was entering the cave section.

“… !”

Like the first episode in the anime, a surprise incident occurred. It was a short moment, but I felt a thick feeling on my cheek and I heard a shallow moan that leaked out inevitably, the so-called roller coaster surprise kiss incident. Of course, the culprit was determined.

“You are so fun~”
“Oh, it’s hard.”
“…”
“…”

Unlike her exhilarated mother in her mid-40s, her father stretched with an awkward expression, and my older sister and I followed suit with an awkward gait.
In my heart, I thought what to do if it was taken during the camera time in the middle of the balloon, but fortunately there was no such section here.
After reassuring myself, when I look at the culprit who gave me a surprise kiss, my sister turns her head away.

“You almost got into trouble.”
“What, what…”
“Are you going to stop pretending now?”
“Oooooh…”

I asked my older sister, who admitted her guilt with her cute voice, about her motive for the crime.

“Why did you do that?”
“Oh, you couldn’t do it yesterday…”
“Have you become a body that can’t live without kissing?”
“Huh.”
“…”

She was a little surprised to see her older sister, who said it as a joke but took it wholeheartedly.

“What are you going to do when I come back…”
“I don’t know…”

She thought about delaying her return at the moment, but she couldn’t desert because it was only two weeks too.

✘✘✘

Time passed and it was evening. Originally, I would have gone to see cultural assets such as Cheomseongdae or the Tomb of King Muryeong, but I missed the time to go because my mother kept riding her rides saying it was fun, so I decided to go and see the parade.
The parade, which starts at 7 o’clock, wears a character doll from here and goes around, taking pictures of people taking pictures, and shaking hands with people who want to shake hands.
As my family sat down in a suitable place, we heard a booming sound from the sky.

“And… It’s been a long time since I’ve seen fireworks.”
“Son, didn’t you see the fireworks?”
“You were in the army.”
“Right. It did.”
“That’s right, you said the same thing.”
“Mom, I’m going to the bathroom~”
“Dad.”
“Uh.”

At the same time, my mother must also be away. An environment where you can immerse yourself in fireworks has been prepared. As I emptied my thoughts while looking at the fire bruises, no, the fireworks bruises, my older sister, who was sitting next to me, leaned on me.

“I’m sleepy?”
“No…”
“Then–“

The moment I turned to her sister, the touch of her lips froze me. My lower lip was bitten, my upper lip was also bitten and defenseless, and my tongue got in between my teeth and stirred in my mouth.
I also made chung-chung sounds to each other in line with it, and I, who barely came to my senses, took my head away first.

“Who, sister…”
“Lol…”
“Where’s the sudden hook…”
“Jiwoo can’t buy no kiss…”
“…”
“Let’s go now~”
“Uh… Huh…”

After finishing all the schedules, I returned to my accommodation. As expected, when I entered the dorm after being outside in the cold, I was overcome with fatigue, and at the same time, I was sucked in by a kiss with an older sister right before I came, and entered a drowsy state.

—Jiwoo Because I can’t buy no kiss…

As I kept playing that strange voice that lingered in my mind, my dad, who came out of the shower, started packing.

“Dad, why are you packing up already?”
“Dad has to go to work tomorrow. He has to go early tomorrow, but he wants to go now.”
“Okay… ?”
“Mom will go too.”
“What? Why mom?”
“You have an appointment with your friends. He said he was following me when he said he was going up in his car? Shall we all go up together?”
“Hmm…”

Wait a minute, when Dad and Mom go home, what’s left here…

“No… I’m a bit tired… I want to go to sleep.”

Me and my sister only two
