Chapter Index

    The cold month of February has passed and March, the beginning of all days, has begun.

    From elementary school, middle school, high school, and college, it could be said that it was the time when everyone went to school with the arrival of spring and the start of the semester.

    Of course, I have never had anything like that happen to me.

    School. It was such a long time ago. But if you say you forgot the last elementary school you went to, that wasn’t it.

    When I was in the lower grades, I remember it finishing before lunch around 12 o’clock, but as I got to the upper grades, the time gradually increased and it ended at 3 o’clock.

    Perhaps because I was happy that I could get home late after becoming a senior, I felt like I knew it better.

    Anyway, everyone said they were going to school, but what I felt was the warmth of a spring day.

    I didn’t have to turn on the heater because it was cold. I didn’t have to turn on the boiler. When it got a little chilly at night, I just covered myself with a blanket and giggled with Jimin. That was it.

    I held in my hand the smartphone I received for the New Year.

    I’ve been using it for two months now, but the only way I know how to use it is to contact Jimin or watch videos.

    It was definitely an advantage to be able to watch the videos I wanted to see without having to turn on the TV and tune in to the time slot.

    Of course, I could turn on the TV and use the replay feature, but I don’t really want to watch any shows that much, so this was enough for me for now.

    “Haam.”

    But if you live the same life over and over again, you’re bound to become dull.

    I barely managed to keep my hunched body still and let out a deep sigh. Then I saw Jimin, who had been washing the dishes for a while, come back.

    Finally, he met my gaze, shaking off the moisture from his hands as if he had washed them.

    “Are you watching that alone?”

    After hearing that, I glanced at the smartphone in my hand for a moment and then quickly turned off the screen.

    “No, I want to watch TV. Sit here.”

    I adjusted my posture, thinking that it would be more fun to watch an advertisement channel together rather than watching a small screen alone.

    My hunched body quickly straightened up, and the sofa that I had been occupying more than half became free again.

    Jimin snickered and came over to me, then grabbed me and pulled me down as if he was going to take over the role of the hand rest on the sofa I was using.

    My head, which had been dragged there without warning, cut Jimin’s thigh, and my body flinched before I carefully stretched my feet toward the empty space on the sofa to find a comfortable position.

    I was lying down like before, but unlike before, instead of feeling warm from my own body heat, I enjoyed the feeling of my face getting warm from Jimin’s body heat.

    I knew full well that ordinary life, ordinary time, could be this good.

    He chuckled and watched Jimin change the channel by touching the remote control.

    Advertisements, dramas, advertisements, commercials, entertainment programs, current affairs programs, news.

    While switching between many channels, another advertisement caught my eye.

    [… Welcome to the amusement park! With over 50… ]

    An advertisement that passes by with a whoosh.

    I stared blankly at that sight.

    After the narration, there was an attached video, and I saw them riding various things and having fun.

    I wondered, “Is that fun?”

    Since I had never ridden one before, I couldn’t help but be curious.

    “Umm,” Jimin groaned, touching my ear with his hand as if he had caught something.

    The voice came with a ticklish feeling.

    “… Shall we go tomorrow?”

    “Huh?”

    I couldn’t help but let out a squeak at Jimin’s sudden decision.

    Of course, I like everything I do with Jimin, but when I suddenly decide to do something like this, I feel like, “Huh?”

    Well, I thought it might be possible since Jimin likes to surprise me with things.

    I guess I should be thankful that I wasn’t suddenly told to wake up and go when I was sleeping well.

    Jimin and I were free.

    I wasn’t a school student, and I wasn’t short on money.

    To be honest, I decided to live as Yoo Min-hee, but I was hesitant to spend money confidently, so I spent almost nothing.

    Still, life wasn’t lacking or anything like that.

    If you’re hungry, feed you. If you’re feeling sick, wash you. If you need clothes, buy them for you.

    There was nothing I lacked because Jimin bought everything for me. Even with Jimin by my side, my satisfaction level was high.

    Hmm, I was thinking about it, but Jimin’s quick hand movements brought everything to an end.

    “Oh, I bought a free pass for tomorrow. Let’s go!”

    “Uh uh… ”

    He answered in a bewildered voice.

    Honestly, I have to say that Jimin’s actions are hard for me to keep up with.

    It seemed like I lived with the feeling that once I decided on something, I had to do it right away.

    “Why? You don’t like it?”

    “No, I was curious.”

    Honestly, there was nothing I disliked.

    Even if I just want to go, even if I want to have, even if I want to do, I have this resistance deep inside that I feel like I’m just receiving too much.

    I just kept hesitating because of that, so I just laughed bitterly.

    Even though it was called an amusement park, I only saw what was in the video that appeared in the advertisement that passed by.

    I thought I knew it in bits and pieces, but since I had never experienced it, I just ended up thinking deeply about what it felt like.

    I couldn’t dare predict anything beyond that.

    They say there are over 50, but the advertisement doesn’t even show 5, let alone 5. How can you go there and enjoy it without knowing what’s there?

    “Amusement park… I don’t really know what’s there, um.”

    As I was mumbling with a subtle expression on my face, Jimin smiled as if to say that it was okay and stroked my face.

    “There is also a game room.”

    “… Do you think I only like games?”

    “… That’s not it, but what did you say to me yesterday? If you just listen to that, you’ll get really excited.”

    “… … .”

    Hmm, I couldn’t find anything to say to what Jimin said, and just looked dumbfounded.

    While Jimin was out and about doing this and that, I was stuck at home playing games, so it was inevitable that I would be the first to play games that Jimin had never played before.

    But I still vividly remember waking up early like that and watching Jimin play a game yesterday, and getting scolded for telling him, “That’s not how you do it.”

    Thinking about the mess still made my legs ache.

    Ugh, I groaned and rubbed my legs before carefully getting up.

    Then he glanced at Jimin’s face next to him.

    “… I said sorry yesterday.”

    “I know.”

    A smile appeared on Jimin’s lips.

    I remembered his face, which didn’t look at me even though I cried and apologized like that yesterday.

    Suddenly, blood started to flow to my ears. A hot sensation lingered.

    I frowned and pushed his body away, leaning back against the back of the sofa as if collapsing. The slightly cool sensation of the leather tickled my body.

    “… By the way, what is there to do at the amusement park?”

    “First of all, since it’s spring, there will be a lot of flowers in bloom, and there will be things like Viking and Gyro Drop.”

    These are words I’m hearing for the first time.

    No, Vikings knew. In the old days, weren’t pirates called Vikings?

    Are you playing in the water? I don’t really like getting wet.

    I tilted my head, but Jimin just smiled and shrugged his shoulders as if he wouldn’t say anything more.

    “You can figure out the rest when you go. There should be a guidebook.”

    “… I want to know in advance.”

    “No, if you go and see it for yourself, it will feel different if you see it in advance. You won’t be able to enjoy it all even if you see it in advance.”

    “Why?”

    “There’s a time to ride and a time to move, right? If it’s too late, you’ll have to wait in line, right?”

    “… Ugh. How long do I have to wait?”

    “1 hour if it’s long, 2 hours is easy.”

    “I can’t wait like that… ”

    When I spoke in a whining tone, Jimin chuckled as if he found that so amusing and said it was okay.

    “Anyway, all the kids are going to school, so there won’t be that many.”

    “Then that’s fortunate… ”

    As I moved on the sofa, I heard a rustling sound.

    At the same time, I felt something hard beneath my body.

    I put my hand in with a “what is this?” expression and rummaged through it, and I quickly realized that it was my smartphone.

    “Ah, just search for it!”

    By the way, this is also on the internet!

    With that thought in mind, I turned on my smartphone and started fiddling with it.

    The moment I turned it on, I was at a loss again, wondering what I should press and what I should search for.

    This is called the Internet, so click on it and type in the name of the amusement park you saw earlier in the search bar…

    While chatting with Jimin, I got so caught up in the rides that I ended up forgetting the name of the amusement park.

    I glanced at Jimin, wondering if there was any point in searching.

    Jimin’s expression was smiling, but he didn’t give me an answer.

    Since returning to this world, I have encountered new things, and my curiosity has grown day by day.

    Of course, curiosity isn’t always a good thing, but I still felt like it would be good to know in advance. I looked at Jimin with a resentful expression.

    “… Chi, let me know.”

    “No, no. I said it would be better to go and see for yourself?”

    “Jimin always tries to surprise people, he’s addicted to surprises.”

    “… … .”

    Jimin’s mouth closed.

    Well then, what can I do? I can do it too.

    I pressed the home key and tapped the screen of my smartphone again.

    Jimin’s expression, which had been looking at me with sharp eyes, changed to one of surprise.

    It was because a bell sound was heard from his body.

    “Huh?”

    Jimin let out a surprised voice, and I turned my head a little further away so as not to look at his face and mumbled.

    Jimin also seemed puzzled by the sight, or I don’t know why, but he answered the phone I called.

    [hello?]

    “Hello?”

    A playful voice came from beyond the smartphone speaker, right next to me, as if it knew what I was going to do.

    “… Honey, where are you going tomorrow?”

    [Um, should I tell you?]

    “Um, shall I tell you?”

    “… Yes.”

    [Then give me a kiss.]

    “Then give me a kiss.”

    Startled by those words, I turned my head sharply and looked at Jimin’s face, forgetting all my resolve not to look at his face.

    Then, all that was there was him, laughing from ear to ear, or rather, failing to hold back laughter.

    “I’ll tell you if you kiss me.”

    “… If that’s the case, then what.”

    After saying that, I put down the hand holding the smartphone. Then I turned around and slowly walked towards him.

    And then he kissed Jimin lightly on the lips.

    Then Jimin touched his lips with his thumb and tilted his head.

    “Huh? Is it too easy?”

    “No, it was difficult?”

    “No, I think it was easy. I want to kiss you.”

    “… Liar.”

    After saying that, I sat up again and put my face against his.

    It wasn’t a light, passing kiss like before, but rather a kiss where their tongues were exposed, squeezing between their lips.

    “Euh, um, ugh, huff… ”

    There was a sloshing sound. My ears felt like they were on fire from the sound of mucus being rubbed.

    I felt his breath coming from close by, but soon I was busy holding my breath and pushing my tongue into his mouth.

    It was something Jimin had always done first, but now that I was the one doing it, it seemed even more embarrassing.

    When I finally managed to let out my breath, leaving behind those throbbing emotions, Jimin, as if satisfied, took my smartphone and searched for me instead.

    After seeing the results window and getting the reward I wanted, I chuckled and started fiddling with my smartphone again.

    But what I realized after watching it diligently is that even if you look at the explanation through the screen and search for reference videos, you still end up feeling vague because you haven’t experienced it yourself and seen it yourself.

    If I had known this would happen, I would have just listened to Jimin.

    I pursed my lips with a little regret.
