144 – 144. Amusement Park Date (2)
Neverland, the largest theme park in Korea located in Gangbuk-gu, Seoul.
Nine men and women have just arrived in front of the main gate, which is as huge and ornate as it is.
“Kiya! Been coming here for a long time too. Is this the first time since middle school?”
Ryu Tae-hyeon, who was at the forefront, smiled happily as he looked at the front gate bustling with crowds. He was already unable to control his excitement at the thought that the exam would be over, and that he would have fun today.
-Kok.
Nun-sol squeezed Ryu Tae-hyeon’s collar tightly.
Unlike Ryu Tae-hyun, who wears casual clothes, Eun-sol Naun-sol came out thoroughly dressed as if she were on a date. With that appearance, they clung to Ryu Tae-hyeon like a baby duck chasing after a mother duck, so it was perfect for passers-by to misunderstand the two as lovers.
“Hee hee.”
And Eun-Sol secretly enjoyed such misunderstanding. As Ryu Tae-hyeon glanced at her, her beautiful brush grinned through her long bangs.
“Wow. It’s been 10 years since it opened, but there are still so many people here? Look at the line at the box office! Even though it’s the weekend, isn’t it really crazy?”
“What are you doing with only 10 years? Lot ○ World under the river must have been over 30 years old.”
“Is that so? But. So is it!”
Next to him, his younger brother Ryu Seol tilted his head and laughed cheerfully at his older brother Ryu Jin’s scolding.
Unlike before, Ryu Xue’s hair was a dark blue-black color, and it was the result of dyeing it yesterday to commemorate the end of the exam. He looked at his younger sister, who was so excited, and Ryujin smiled a little bitterly.
“Huh. It’s just that one test is over, so let’s all play together. It would be obvious without looking at the final exam grades like that.”
Meanwhile, from a position a little away from the four people in front, Ha Sung-min spat out in an arrogant tone.
He was a pretty young man on a similar level to Ryu Tae-hyeon, but unlike Ryu Tae-hyeon, who had a sad look, he had a rough and nervous impression. And his real personality was similar to that impression.
Right now, Ha Seong-min is a rival and an antagonist (he thinks so, but Ryu Tae-hyun thinks Ha Seong-min is also a normal friend). It seemed quite unpleasant to come to the amusement park on weekends in broad daylight with Ryu Tae-hyun.
“What is fun about riding rides with a superhuman body? To me it’s just a waste of time and money. Isn’t it?”
However, there was a good reason why he was with Ryu Tae-hyun today. Ha Seong-min crossed his arms as if he was not interested, and glanced at the woman next to him.
“… ….”
Standing beside Ha Seong-min was Seong A-ra, a beauty with a sharp impression. With her long eyelashes hanging down and her eyes closed, she felt Ha Seong-min’s presence and only one eye opened slightly.
The eyes exposed under the eyelids were the so-called Demon Eyes, with black whites and golden pupils. A sharp gaze scans Ha Seong-min.
“…… Aren’t you wasting your time at the amusement park as well?”
“That, that… …. Sometimes you just need a change of mood. In other words, it’s a break for more efficient growth…….”
Avoiding Seong Ara’s gaze, Ha Seong-min spat out in an air of hiding something. Seong Ah-ra, who watched the situation for a while, closed her eyes as if she was pathetic, and moved her steps toward her party.
“…… Whoa.”
After Ara Seong left, Seongmin Ha let out a sigh of relief or regret. In fact, he had a crush on Sung Ara, and she came to the amusement park today to see her Seong Ara. It was a secret she could never reveal to anyone, let alone Seong Ara herself.
It was a secret, but there were already two people who knew that Ha Seong-min was in love with her surname Ara.
“Kick.”
Kang Ha-neul, who was watching Ha Seong-min’s ugliness from behind, smiled.
“I’m sure he was hiding it, but looking at it from the side, he seems to like Ara very much.”
She didn’t know all the contents of the original work like Ahn Su-ho, but she remembered the outline of the character’s setting and development. It was obvious why Ha Seong-min was so nervous about Seong A-ra, and I naturally laughed at that appearance.
“Ara must have already noticed. Isn’t that right, brother?”
“Okay. Ha Seong-min is also Ha Seong-min, but even Sung-a is very insensitive when it comes to dating. She probably doesn’t know.”
“Pretend you don’t know when you know?”
“Sung Ara, that would never happen to her personality, right?”
“Is that so? I think differently. What do you think of Yewon?”
The river sky clinging to Ahn Su-ho’s left side stuck out her head and asked. Unlike Kang Ha-neul, Ji Ye-won, who was a little away from Ahn Su-ho, asked why he was asking me about that.
“Okay. I don’t know because I’m seeing them for the first time today.”
“Okay! Everyone except me and her brother were seeing each other for the first time today, right? It must be really awkward! So, why did you come along with your younger siblings to play…….”
“Isn’t that the same for Suho? So you two decided to act separately in between?”
“…… Why would a person who knew that wear a ponytail without even noticing?”
Kang Ha-neul smiled and said. It’s a cliché, but she said her mouth was smiling but her eyes weren’t laughing. Kang Ha-neul wrapped around Ahn Su-ho’s left arm and gave strength to her arm. Like she wouldn’t give it up.
-Paji weave.
A bloody spark flew from Kang Ha-neul’s eyes. A bloody spirit bloomed in her eyes to the point of misunderstanding.
“Just. You said you were going to play, but it happened to be empty today, so I followed you. Originally, when you come to a place like this, it’s more fun when there are a lot of people, right? Is not it?”
Ji Ye-won smirked at those bloody eyes. Ji Ye-won put her hand on Ahn Su-ho’s shoulder, saying, “Isn’t it?” It was as if he was asking for his consent. A longing smile appears on Ji Ye-won’s face.
“That… ….”
“I’m not here to play, it’s a date?!”
Before Ahn Su-ho could answer, Kang Ha-neul screamed.
“Oh, was it a date? Didn’t you know that? Sorry?”
“I don’t know what! You came here knowing everything! I was going to go on a date with my brother alone, but why did you follow me! You said your turn is next week!”
“That was your unilateral decision. I’m sorry, but I already have a full schedule for next weekend? Unlike someone who is busy playing outside of the academy schedule, I have to earn money.”
“Because I’m earning my living too?!”
“Really? Do you want to work part-time? What are you doing?”
“That, that… ….”
At that question, Kang Ha-neul, who had been responding bluntly, was speechless.
As you know, Kang Ha-neul’s main source of income was internet broadcasting. Even if it’s a broadcast, it’s a normal game broadcast, not a cheesy genre like a female cam friend. There is no reason to be ashamed…… You may think so.
Although the contents of the broadcast are sound, the social perception is not. If a woman earns money through lintel, nine out of 10 people assume that it is a broadcaster like that. It was a kind of prejudice and social convention.
Of course, it’s easy to get rid of that misunderstanding. It’s just a matter of proudly giving out the broadcast nickname.
But.
‘…… I can’t talk to Ji Ye-Won even if I die!’
Even if the genre of her broadcast was sound, it was true that she was extorting her money from her viewers anyway, using her own gender and appearance as a weapon.
However, if you reveal your broadcasting nickname, of course, you will find out what kind of broadcast it is, and Ji Ye-won will soon see Kang Ha-neul’s ‘broadcasting face’ thoroughly made up.
‘I can never say that!’
That should never happen. How embarrassed and how ashamed she was when she was caught broadcasting Nick by Ahn Su-ho. Kang Ha-neul bit her mouth shut as she recalled her memories of her past.
However, she was not Ye-won, just watching.
“What is it? Why can’t you answer Are you doing something disrespectful?”
“Oh no! It’s a very proud thing! Don’t say anything that could cause misunderstandings!”
“Then what is it? Can you tell me?”
“Ahhh…… !”
Kang Ha-neul, who couldn’t bear to answer, looked at Ahn Soo-ho with an expression seeking her help. However, in Ji Ye-won’s eyes, she seemed to be paying attention to him.
‘What is it? I just poked him as a joke, but he wasn’t doing anything really weird…… ?’
Ji Ye-won broke out in a cold sweat at that sight. All sorts of ‘shameful things’ popped into her mind. Like theft or robbery or drug trafficking.
Perhaps because she was from the criminal organization Dawning, all she could imagine was illegal. She wonders if she has a hand in her crime because of her difficult circumstances, and a feeling of pity appears on her face as she has been teasing Kang Ha-neul all the time.
“…… Sky No matter how urgently you need money, you will regret it later if you make money from it. Even if you don’t get caught and arrested by the police right away, the stigma of being a criminal will entangle you until the end.”
“………… Yes? Police…… Yo. This? Criminal?”
She tilted her head, saying, “What kind of ghost is the river sky eating?”
“…… I think you’re seriously mistaken now. What the hell do you think I’m doing?”
“Like robbery or selling drugs-“
“There’s no way I would do something like that!!”
Kang Ha Neul beeps like a chick! She shouted. What kind of mindset do you have that makes you think like that?
“Really? I’m glad.”
Meanwhile, Ji Ye-won was sincerely relieved by Kang Ha-neul’s answer. Kang Ha-neul’s reaction was even more absurd. Caught between them, An Su-ho bites his lip and barely holds back a laugh.
“Anyway. Ha-neul said that you will be touring Seoul with Suho tomorrow as well. Trying to monopolize Suho all weekend is too much, isn’t it? Why don’t you concede to me for today? It’s not even that I’m monopolizing him all day like anyone else, it’s just that I want to have fun together. Is this arrangement okay? Isn’t that right, Ahn Soo-ho?”
“Huh? Me?”
“Brother… ….”
The eyes of the two turned to Ahn Su-ho at once.
Ji Ye-won smiling with a relaxed attitude and Kang Ha-neul looking up at him with an anxious face.
Ahn Su-ho, caught between the two, was in conflict for a while. However, at the time he appeared at the amusement park with Ji Ye-won, it was already decided whose side he would take.
“What… …. Isn’t it fun to play with everyone?”
“Brother!”
Kang Ha-neul, who had been betrayed by his trust, was crying. But it was a predestined ending. We’ve already come this far together, but now we can’t send them back.
“Did you hear that? So give me a concession just for today. It will turn itself off tomorrow.”
“…… Are you really going back tomorrow?”
Kang Ha-neul glared at Ji Ye-won with suspicious eyes. Fooled me once, fooled me twice.
At that gaze, Yewon Ji smiled.
“Don’t worry. I’m not ignorant enough to interfere with a couple’s trip.”
“But why today!!”
“Isn’t today the day we all play together?”
Ji Ye-won smiled and crossed her arms with Ahn Su-ho. As she pulled Ahn Soo-ho towards her side, Kang Ha-neul also pressed herself tightly against Ahn Su-ho’s body as if she would not lose.
The eyes of the passers-by turn to them. It was only natural for people to do so at the front gate, where there were a lot of people passing by.
Even Ji Ye-won and Kang Ha-neul were both beautiful women who would not be left out no matter where they were presented. A bunch of men couldn’t hide their envy and put them in their eyes.
“…… Wow. Oh my god.”
Also, there is one person who can’t take his eyes off Ahn Su-ho’s group, even though he’s not a man.
“Taehyun-ah. Is the sky over there your boyfriend? What happened to him? Why is there another woman next to you?”
Ryu Seol asked Ryu Tae-hyeon with a look of excitement on his face. Ryu Tae-hyeon glanced at Ahn Su-ho with a feeling of sympathy, and then shrugged his shoulders.
“Okay. I don’t know either. Because that hyung is so popular, his dating history is a bit complicated.”
“Choi Jeongguk… !”
Those words made Liu Xue even more excited. I heard that Kang Ha-neul’s boyfriend was coming today, but I never thought that I would be able to see such a rare sight. Ryu Seol pursued the appearance of the three people with the gaze of watching a romance drama that he usually enjoys watching.
‘Suho hyung. No, brother Suho. I respect you.’
On the other hand, Ryu Tae-hyeon had respect for Ahn Su-ho, who proudly led two women, as a man. Ryu Tae-hyun is also flirting with three or four women at the same time, but he hasn’t reached that level yet.
“Taehyun-ah. It’s going to be very fun today. Right?”
“Okay.”
I wonder if that precarious love triangle will survive today.
Ryu Tae-hyun gave an ambiguous answer, wary of the catastrophe that might come before Ahn Su-ho.
