Love for Love's Sake - Chapter 39
Chapter 39
“Good child, Cha Yeowoon.”
As I tousled Cha Yeowoon’s hair, he blinked his eyes in a daze.
He was a good child.
The 18-year-old Cha Yeowoon, who I spent time with in person, turned out to be a much better person than I thought.
“I’m not that nice.”
“Good children always say that.”
“I really am not nice.”
Cha Yeowoon strongly denied it.
“Senior can say things like that because you don’t know what I’m thinking.”
Actually, I knew everything. At least the fact that he wanted to do this and that to me.
But it was somewhat troubling how I felt indifferent about it.
“Let’s go. We need to use the ticket for Jebuland. You worked hard to get it.”
“If you don’t feel like going, we don’t have to. Just look at the sea.”
“I want to go.”
I pulled myself up first, clasping our overlapping hands.
“Really. I want to go and have fun with you.”
Cha Yeowoon looked up at me intently.
“I think it would be fun if I go with you too.”
I tickled his held hand with my thumb, and only then did his expression soften. After he stood up and dusted off his pants, we briskly headed in the direction of the amusement park.
“I’m looking forward to the rides.”
Cha Yeowoon’s footsteps, walking beside me, slowed down slightly. I didn’t realize the meaning of his action until later.
* * *
The already pale Cha Yeowoon was very pale. As he clutched his knees, I patted his back.
“Hey, if you can’t ride the Viking, just say so.”
I said as I rubbed his back. He shook his head at my words.
“It’s not that I can’t ride it. I rode it.”
“It looks like you’ll die if you ride it twice. There’s also the mini Viking over there. We should have ridden that.”
“I’m not a child.”
Cha Yeowoon spoke confidently, still pale with blood drained from his face.
The ticket consisted of three courses and a fishing experience. As was typical of tourist amusement parks, Jebuland only offered a few courses. Among them, the Viking had seemed the most promising.
There weren’t many people riding it, so we were able to sit anywhere.
After we sat down energetically in the last seat, Cha Yeowoon remained silent, and that should have been my realization.
He persevered, despite me reassuring him that it was okay if he couldn’t ride it. Unlike the couple in front of us, he didn’t scream and just froze like an iceberg. As soon as we got off the Viking, he sat down and this was the situation.
“Do you want me to buy a drink? What do you want to drink?”
“It’s okay. I’m fine now.”
“Let’s sit and rest for a moment…”
“Let’s ride the next one quickly.”
Cha Yeowoon stood up abruptly, full of enthusiasm.
“You’ll collapse again.”
“I didn’t collapse.”
“Didn’t you act as if you had half a foot in the grave just now?”
“I don’t want to waste time since I finally came with senior. You said you liked amusement rides.”
Another admirable remark.
Seeing him burning with the determination to accommodate me, I thought it would be much better for us to enjoy ourselves than for me to stop him.
“Let’s ride that one. The merry-go-round.”
“…”
“It’s because I want to ride it.”
It was amusing watching his wounded pride evident in his demeanor. Despite protesting that he wasn’t a child, he didn’t resist when I grabbed his hand and stood in line for the carousel.
In front and behind us were children who barely reached our chest.
The line wasn’t long, so we were able to get on the carousel soon after. Once I got on one of the unicorns, Cha Yeowoon chose the unicorn right next to me.
Along with the old-fashioned melody playing, the carousel slowly spun. Laughter erupted here and there from the children.
“This isn’t scary, right, Yeowoon?”
“Senior, you’re annoying at times like this.”
“Aren’t I thoughtful? Where else can you find a senior who thinks of his junior like this?”
I felt his gaze. When I looked to the side to see if he was cursing me with his eyes, he was staring at me with a scary concentration.
The speed of the spinning carousel suddenly slowed down. Maybe it was just my feeling.
“Why.”
As the carousel continued to turn, the surroundings continued to change. Instead of seeing the spinning world around me, Cha Yeowoon’s axis seemed to be fixed on myself.
“It’s so nice.”
The gaze that persistently scanned my skin felt hot.
Whenever I looked into Cha Yeowoon’s eyes, I felt like I was being sucked in.
My fingers on the plastic unicorn curled and my throat felt itchy.
As expected in May, the surrounding area was vividly green and vibrant.
The flowers and leaves lost their shape and only their colors remained, tying Cha Yeowoon and me around like a ring.
My lips tingle. It felt like something was about to jump out of my throat.
“When the carousel comes to a complete stop, please unfasten your belt and carefully get off.”
An employee holding a microphone broadcasted the announcement. The carousel stopped. The song also stopped.
Unbuckling the thin safety seat belt and getting off, I felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
Just for a moment, I almost got swallowed up.
“What should we ride next?”
“Whatever senior wants to ride.”
