Chapter 68 – Three Dates (4)

“Did you have a good time?”

The clerk who greeted me at the exit had a bright voice, but my complexion was dark. It must have been the same color as the broken, rotten tree in the abandoned house. Senior Yoo-jung asked me with a worried expression, completely unaware of my feelings.

“Mr. Suhyun. Were you that scared?”

“No. Are you okay.”

I shook my head and said so. Ichie said in a low voice from the side.

“Aquatic coward.”

I laughed awkwardly. I said.

“Shall I ride another one? There are many things I haven’t ridden yet. There is a blue dragon train here, a rotating cup there, and a bumper car. Let’s go hurry.”

Pretending not to hear, I urged Yujeong and Ichie. Senior Yujeong laughed and nodded to her, saying that I seemed to have regained my energy right away, and Ichie was also smiling. We wandered around the amusement park mindlessly.

In front of the blue dragon train, I was a little worried that I would get motion sickness again, but the train was not as dizzy as the Viking. I felt like I was being hit by the wind in a car going 80km/h. Ichie and Yujeong seniors were also getting off with relaxed expressions in front of me, who came out more than expected. The two received a picture of us at the photo stand while arranging their windblown hair, and they burst into laughter at each other as they were taken in a convertible looking like they were taking a concept shot.

Senior Yoo Jung said.

“They say that the higher the Hunter level, the less able to enjoy this kind of entertainment.”

“Are you not having fun?”

“These days, TV picture quality has improved a lot, but in the past, when I watched TV, I couldn’t see it properly because I could see pixels flickering on the TV screen.

Even now, I enjoyed it more comfortably than I thought, so I thought that the roller coaster would be like a child’s play if my rank went higher. Senior Yoojeong put her picture in his bag and said.

“So, on a day like today, you should have a lot of fun. There’s a bumper car over there. Ride that too we.”

Looking at the bumper car, I was soaked in memories. It was because I hadn’t ridden a bumper car since my high school field trip. Ichie also looked excited as he looked at the bumper cars. I asked her

“It makes sense. Have you ever ridden a bumper car?”

“Once in middle school. No after that.”

“I have to ride a lot today. Then.”

There was a long line of children in the bumper cars. Children who had just passed the height limit were waiting for their turn, stomping their feet. Children were playing while standing in line. Some children fantasized about riding a bumper car alone while hanging from a fence, while others played fighting games in pairs of two or three.

Shouted a child, raising her arms wide.

“Oooooh! I am a bomber!”

“Pooh!”

I was startled and turned my head. Senior Yujeong opened her eyes wide and looked at her children. Ichie looked at me. The elementary school teacher was embarrassed and scolded the children.

“Taemin! You can’t talk like that! Where did you learn to say that? Uh?”

“That is not strange. This is the nickname of the person who won the Rookie of the Year competition.”

“Now, that’s a bad word, so don’t use it. Got it? Our Taemin. Aren’t you nice?”

“Yes~.”

The kid called Taemin nodded. The teacher lowered his head to us, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

“Sorry. Are the kids a bit noisy? They are still young children. Ahahaha…”

“No. It was lively and good.”

I shook my head and encouraged the teacher. Yujeong senior whispered from behind.

“I have committed many sins. Mr. Suhyun.”

“Iknow, right. Shall I just die?”

I said so with a smile. It was fortunate that I did not sell my face after wearing a helmet and going out to the tournament. If the face had been sold, they would have called ‘Ada Bomber!’ Everywhere in the amusement park.

Suddenly, a bumper car was calling us.

The bumper car was more cramped than expected.

The bumper car I rode in high school seemed to have more space than this. Could it be because my muscles grew? Feeling a bit crumpled, I got into the bumper car and looked at Yoo-jung. Senior Yujeong was holding her steering wheel and waving her hand to me. I smiled and rushed toward Yoo-jeong. We were about to bump into each other head-on, like motorcycles playing a game of chicken.

Bang!

Senior Yoojung’s bumper car flew sideways, and Ichie’s bumper car collided with me. Ichie drew a V and looked at Yoojung. Senior Yu-jeong frowned at her and frantically turned her steering wheel. The children in front of us laughed and crashed into our car.

Thump, thump. While they were scattered all over the place, senior Yu-jeong was aiming for Ichie and rushing at him. She dodged around Ichie, then got cornered by her and was hit once more by senior Yu-jeong. Senior Yoojeong drew Ichie a V-ja then approached me again. I lightly bumped into her bumper car like a kiss and smiled.

“It was fun.”

Senior Yoojeong said that with the most refreshing expression of the day. I couldn’t figure out why she was in such a good mood. Did Ichie and I make a bet without my knowledge? Ichie smiled at me. Senior Yoojeong pointed to the spinning cup and said.

“Shall we ride that one?”

“Uh…”

I slightly frowned at her, afraid I would get motion sickness again, but at the same time, curious, I nodded at her. How fun would it be to ride a spinning cup with the power of a hunter? Ichie said.

“Look back very quickly.”

It was an instinct like finding a spinning toy on a playground and spinning it until it becomes a centrifuge. We ran towards the ticket office with full of expectations in our hearts.

“Maybe everyone. Are you a Hunter?”

“Yes. By the way.”

“Sorry. Hunters cannot board the Rotating Cup. There have been several safety accidents before.”

The guide showed a signboard next to him with a very apologetic expression.

[There are frequent accidents where the spinning cup is thrown out by turning it too hard or the spinning cup is broken, so Awoken cannot ride the spinning cup.]

“Ah…”

I lost all my energy along with my regretful heart. Ichido relaxed his shoulders and looked at the spinning cup with a sullen expression. As if trying to cheer the two of us up, Yu-jeong pointed to a nearby cafe and said,

“Shall we all have coffee together?”

A cafe with a large coffee bean-shaped structure on its head gave off a sweet and pleasant scent just by being nearby. We entered the cafe with quick steps following Yu-jeong, who was excited about drinking Americano.

Aaaaa

Through the windows, I could faintly hear the screams of people on the roller coaster. Vehicles passed quickly on the rails, as if a large worm was passing by. The line for the roller coaster was still long. If I had stood in line an hour ago, I would have been able to get on now. However, it seemed like I spent the day well enough to wonder if I had to do that.

Senior Yoojeong clung to the seat next to me. Ichie sat across from me and stared at her phone. She was glancing at me over her cell phone, and Yu-jeong held my hand under her desk, pretending not to know anything.

I held her hand and smiled.

“Hmm?”

“What’s wrong?”

I felt a strange sensation at the tip of my ankle. It felt like someone was tapping me with the tips of their toes. I frowned and tried to check below, but I looked at Ichie inadvertently. She was smiling with her eyes on her cell phone.

I took out my phone and texted Ichie.

[It makes sense. Do not.]

She got my text, raised an eyebrow, and then pulled up my pants with her toes. And she pressed the phone lightly on my calf. Senior Yu-jeong asked while looking at her menu board.

“Mr. Suhyun. What do you want to eat?”

“That cafe latte.”

Ichie spoke first. At the same time, a text message came flying in.

[No, I do not want.]

“I’d like a green tea latte, please.”

“I’ll order for a while then.”

As soon as Yoo-jung left the table, I texted him frantically.

[Ichie, I’m dating senior Yoojung. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about dating. However, Ichie is not allowed to do this. Let’s stay as friends.]

She tilted her head, looked at me, and put her foot higher. Her toes running near her knees were so bizarre. It was to the point where I could plainly imagine the shape of her feet. Text came up.

[Hate me?]

Ichie tilted her head with her face as if demanding her answer. She didn’t like it If she had met Ichie first instead of Yujeong senior, she might have dated Ichie. She was just as pretty, kind, and charming as she was. But I was dating senior Yoo-jung right now. She was the woman I deserved, and she couldn’t betray her.

I texted

[I think it’s attractive. But I’m dating someone.]

[Three are better than two.]

I couldn’t understand this. Are you telling me to become a piece of trash that straddles me? Ichie said.

[I finished talking with Yoojung.]

Is the story over? I got a headache. What’s the end of the story? Am I correct in understanding the text now? I texted I just wanted to get away from this topic.

[Why do you like me?]

She hesitated at the message, then tapped the keyboard on her phone.

[We’ve met before.]

Have you ever met If I had seen a woman like this anywhere, I would have definitely remembered it. But I didn’t remember it at all. She said.

[But when I came, it was a team. So, this is destiny

Destiny, isn’t it too grandiose? Another message came in a beat late.

[Are you.]

She was a really cute girl. I didn’t know what to do. Because I didn’t know it would break out like this. Senior Yoojung was returning. As I was thinking about my reply, another text message came.

[Next time, let’s talk at my house. I have family at home that day.]

I nodded. Yeah, this definitely felt like something we should talk about. Senior Yoojung was walking.
