Chapter Index

    No matter where in the world you go, if there are trees and the weather is good, the chirping of birds has always been what announces the morning.

    Of course, even in Seoul, where there are more buildings than trees, the sound of birds chirping was no exception.

    Checking the correct time in the game was the privilege of the warriors, so when asking questions like, “What time is it? How many hours are left?”, you had to rely on Jimin unconditionally, but not now.

    I reached into the small drawer next to the bed and picked up my smartphone.

    After that, I quietly stared at the small clock floating above the black screen.

    “… 7:30. Haaam.”

    I checked the time once and yawned.

    Now it was time to stretch.

    When I felt like I had woken up a little, I grabbed Jimin’s body who was still wandering in dreamland next to me and shook him carefully.

    “Jimin… wake up. It’s 7:30.”

    “… Yeah. Hmm. ”

    I poked Jimin’s face with my finger as he groaned in a sleepy voice.

    “… What time is it?”

    “7:30.”

    “Um… I have to wash up and go. Yeah, yeah. Let’s get up… ”

    After saying that, Jimin opened his bleary eyes and got up.

    Jimin and I headed straight to the bathroom and started washing up.

    I washed my face, washed my hair, dried it, lightly applied lotion, and chose some clothes.

    Now that the weather was warm and spring was here, I didn’t need to dress stuffily, so I just looked around.

    “… How about this?”

    Actually, to put it bluntly, I said I chose them, but most of the clothes were chosen by Jimin.

    From the underwear worn inside to the clothes worn outside, everything was Jimin’s pick.

    He was wearing matching white underwear, and now that it was warm, I was thinking of wearing a thin sweater, but what he was holding in his hand was a large dress shirt.

    “… Isn’t that too big?”

    “This is a shirt dress. People wear this a lot these days.”

    “Wait a minute, it’s One Piece?”

    I couldn’t help but be terrified.

    I just thought it was a seriously oversized dress shirt that went down to my knees, but I honestly couldn’t understand why it was called a one-piece dress, so I just blankly dropped my gaze.

    But it doesn’t seem like Jimin is lying or joking, so that’s probably true.

    “… Hmm. Is this real… ”

    Unable to control her delicate emotions, she simply furrowed her brows. Jimin watched from the side and took out another piece of clothing for her.

    “Just wear this over there.”

    A refreshing pink sweater-like vest greeted me.

    In the end, after much thought, I put on the shirt dress that Jimin had chosen for me and put on a vest over it.

    It felt like spring, but at the same time, I felt like I was wearing something a little too revealing.

    I glanced at Jimin with my mouth pursed, and saw him taking it for granted, saying that was how he normally wore clothes.

    I also had a feeling that Jimin had worn clothes like this at least once.

    “If you feel empty, wear this.”

    “What is it?”

    It was a refreshing voice. I should have told you that from the beginning. With that in mind, I followed Jimin to the closet, where I found a pair of extremely short jeans.

    No, can you call these pants? Jeans, panties…?

    Anything would be fine, but looking at it like this, I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

    It might cover your underwear, but it won’t cover your thighs.

    It was time to think again. But I wasn’t given much time, so in the end I just nodded and said, “Okay,” and reached for his pants.

    Before I knew it, the coordination was complete.

    Neatly combed black hair, a pink sweater-like vest worn over a pure white shirt dress.

    And my panties-like jeans, which were covered by my shirt dress, created a completely bottomless look.

    I even thought, “Why don’t I just go out wearing kangaroo pajamas?” but I couldn’t be naked in the bathroom outside the house, so I just leisurely left the house, holding the handbag Jimin had prepared for me.

    *

    I heard a crackling sound. It was coming from that loudspeaker, that speaker.

    But the music and singing that flowed out together were louder than that noise, so it wasn’t that annoying.

    My heart was pounding. The thought of coming to play made my heart pound.

    “Wow.”

    As soon as it opened, I stepped inside holding two adult free passes.

    As soon as I entered, I picked up a guide booklet from the information desk.

    As soon as I opened it, I glanced over the names and descriptions of the rides.

    As I was reading it intently, holding the paper tightly with both hands and carrying the bag on my arm, Jimin groaned and pointed with his finger at the contents of the booklet I was reading.

    “They are all gathered by location, so it would be better to ride everything there first when you get there, right?”

    “Uh, yeah…! Uh, where do you want to go from? I haven’t even decided what to ride… ”

    But no matter how much I looked, in the end, there was no way I, with no experience, could decide where to start.

    I thought it would be better to first get introduced to Jimin and then find out what I like one by one.

    As I was mumbling like that, Jimin groaned and reached out his hand to me.

    I carefully handed the booklet to him, and he looked through it quietly before making a decision and handing it back to me.

    “Let’s go over there.”

    “Okay, okay. What should I ride first?”

    “Viking. This is called a pirate ship.”

    It was the name I was interested in yesterday. Of course, I heard the name and took a quick look at the picture, but I also wondered if something like that would be interesting.

    If you give up from the beginning thinking, “No, it won’t be fun,” there won’t be much to enjoy here.

    Since Jimin finally gave us a free pass, let’s live it up and have fun.

    I just thought that.

    “Please line up here.”

    I stood in line with an excited heart after hearing what the staff had to say.

    The fact that it was my first time made my heart flutter. I was nervous, so I held the strap of my bag with both hands and squeezed it tightly.

    The line was getting shorter, so I showed my free pass ticket to the staff and went inside.

    It had the shape of a huge ship, but it was too small to be called a ship.

    Well, since it’s an amusement ride, all it needs is a place for people to sit. Thinking so, I climbed the stairs and placed my feet on the boat above.

    Gulp, swallowed.

    I haven’t seen it in person yet because it’s only the first day of opening, but I can clearly see from the video that it moves back and forth from the pole hanging above.

    “Minhee.”

    “Huh? ”

    “Are you scared?”

    “No? I’m fine?”

    “Really? You seem really nervous.”

    “… No, that’s not it.”

    I felt bad for Jimin who asked me if I was scared. After all, it wasn’t made to kill people, it was made to scare people.

    I felt like I was treating people like cowards.

    I wanted to say that I was just nervous because it was my first time on an amusement ride, but as soon as the staff gave me instructions, the safety bar came down and was secured to my lower abdomen.

    “Oh, here we go.”

    “Ah, ah.”

    Rattling, creaking, creaking.

    At the same time as that strange sound, I felt a strange sensation in my body.

    “If you’re scared, you can hold my hand.”

    “I, I’m okay… ”

    I, who had risked my life fighting at the time, would not be afraid of something like this.

    But I quickly realized that it was a guest house.

    Squeak, squeak, the ship, which had been moving more and more violently, eventually moved at a nearly right angle, giving the feeling of stopping for a moment.

    I opened my eyes wide and saw the machine under my stomach spinning around, so I couldn’t help but be startled, so I let out a small scream and waved my hands.

    “Gyaaaahh …

    I thought I knew why everyone was screaming.

    Where are Jimin’s hands? Wait, I’m scared!

    The hand that had been hovering in the air was barely able to catch Jimin, but at that moment, the movement slowed down and soon ended.

    I held on to everything I could and screamed as loud as I could, but in the end, I pretended like nothing happened and just stuck to Jimin while fixing my hair.

    When I got off the boat and looked at Jimin in embarrassment, Jimin was also laughing at me, probably because I was funny.

    I was about to say something, but then I bit my lip and mumbled.

    “… If you want to laugh, laugh as much as you want.”

    “Why me? I’m just saying that because you’re cute.”

    “What do you think is cute about me… ”

    As I said that, I tapped my bangs and roughly cleared my vision.

    As I was walking briskly, Jimin called out to me.

    “Want to ride that?”

    “What is it…?”

    At those words, I stopped again and glanced back.

    The place Jimin pointed to was an amusement ride where you could ride something and move very quickly.

    Still, I had a thought that it might not be a bad thing, since I thought that it wouldn’t be like the one just before where it would just blow upwards.

    “Flum Ride.”

    His voice contained the answer, but I couldn’t immediately figure out what FlumeRide meant, so I just nodded.

    “Okay… ”

    and.

    Crunch. The safety bar secured my body again.

    I swallowed a groan as I confirmed that the boat was secured to the rail that cut through the water.

    Wait a minute, isn’t this scary too?

    I almost lost my mind, but Jimin laughed behind me and said.

    “It’s okay. This is just for the speed.”

    “Oh, really?”

    But it won’t be the same as before.

    I swallowed hard at that thought.

    And then there was another jolt, and the boat started to race away.

    “Wow, wooow!”

    I felt like a splash of water was coming.

    I wasn’t completely drenched, but my body was still damp here and there.

    It was over in an instant, but I felt dazed as if my mind had been completely robbed.

    I shook my head, worried that the shirt one-piece would show through if it got wet.

    “How was it?”

    “It was so fast, but I didn’t even notice it… ”

    “Wasn’t it fun?”

    “No, that’s not it. I just… freaked out because it was so fast. It was fun.”

    I honestly expressed my feelings.

    How could you not be surprised when the surrounding scenery passes by in a flash and the scenery in front of you changes in an instant?

    Even my heart would sink every time it would rattle, whether it was a mechanical problem or not.

    But that doesn’t mean it was all that bad.

    There was a sense of speed that could not be felt in ordinary daily life.

    I smiled and answered, thinking that it wasn’t a bad experience since I was hanging out with Jimin.

    “Thank goodness.”

    Jimin also seemed to like the answer as he answered with a smile.

    I laughed along with those words, then checked that my clothes were a little dry and looked around.

    Actually, since it was my first time seeing this scenery, I didn’t know how to react at first, but now I can just be amazed by the scenery.

    There were machines moving around, people waiting in line, and people riding on the machines and screaming.

    And then the loud music from the amusement park filled my ears, gradually covering up the sound.

    I held Jimin’s hand tightly.

    And then he slowly dragged it away.

    “Jimin, do you want to go there too…?”

    “Okay, okay. Where are you going?”

    “Over there, over there.”

    I’ve ridden it a couple of times so I’ve gotten the hang of it.

    It’s been a while since it opened, so I figured I knew how the rides worked and could make my choice.

    As I held his hand tightly and led him forward, he nodded and walked quietly beside me.

    “It’s nice that we come out and play together.”

    I said that and chuckled.
