38 – Luna’s date (4)

“…well, actually…no problem. It’s still safe here.”

“…’This is’?”

It’s a strange word, so I asked again.

He shrugged his shoulders slightly worried.

“…There is a terrorist attack in Seoul. But that’s okay. Sheikh-sama is dispatched.”

“Aha.”

It was fortunate. There didn’t seem to be any bigger problems than I was worried about.

It seemed that our day would not be ruined.

“Thank you for letting me know.”

i told him

The hero also nodded.

“no. have a good day.”

I was quite surprised by his kindness and smiled. How many heroes are there?

No, well… a certain amount of kindness is what heroes do for the sake of image making.

I approach Song Soo-yeon.

“…? what.”

A man was standing next to her.

Song Soo-yeon was sitting with an expression of displeasure that had never been seen before. It was an expression I hadn’t seen before.

he says.

“Hey, okay? I’m really in love with you, so give me your number…”

“…get off, fuck.”

oh That’s it.

To eat, she took off her mask, and when I left, I was receiving a dash in less than a second.

I hurriedly approach her.

The man who dashed at Song Soo-yeon was persistent.

“Don’t do that, if you don’t have a boyfriend, just lightheartedly join me-”

I opened my mouth.

“excuse me. You don’t like-“

And Song Soo-yeon’s eyes widen as she sees me.

She jumped up from her seat and put her arms around me.

“…?”

“Here you are. Boyfriend.”

Embarrassed, I forgot what I was going to say to the man.

Suyeon Song says:

“You think I came to the amusement park alone then? Is the head a decoration? Get out of here, don’t make me sick.”

The man looked at me and Song Soo-yeon alternately, then muttered and avoided the seat.

“…it doesn’t suit me…”

Song Soo-yeon is hot.

“That bastard… to the end!”

I stopped Song Soo-yeon.

“Let’s sleep! It’s over, so stop.”

Grab her forearm and turn it to me. He looked straight at her and induced a breath.

“Now, take a deep breath.”

Her wrinkled eyes slowly open.

“Hu, exhale… breathe in again… hu, exhale…”

As she followed my request slowly, I said.

“Today is a good day. Forget quickly, have fun. It’s a waste of a day.”

“……”

“And nothing to worry about. The amusement park is safe. Somewhere in Seoul is the problem. But even that came from Sheikh.”

“……”

I kept looking at her. It seemed that he hadn’t fully recovered yet.

A joke is always needed at times like this. Perfect for changing the mood.

There was one thing that came to mind as well.

I said.

“……But a boyfriend?”

She lowers her head and punches me in the chest.

– Puck! Puck!

“..That, that’s what I did because it turned off…!”

Unlike before, she lowered her voice even further.

The atmosphere is more relaxed as I wished.

“Quack-quick. I know. I didn’t think anything strange, so don’t worry.”

“……”

“Now, let’s eat and then go to the haunted house we talked about earlier. okay? It’s a waste of that cute beanie because I’m angry.”

“…….mister.”

“A joke, a joke. Eat rice or something. Got it?”

What more was there to tease? I made Song Soo-yeon sit on the road.

“….yes.”

she replied. We continued our meal.

*****

Even though she said to come to the haunted house first, she looked quite nervous.

“……Are you really going to do it?”

“………yes.”

It was nice to be able to see her various aspects, but it’s hard to understand from her point of view.

Why are you doing this when you are shaking before entering?

Our turn has come. Song Soo-yeon did not turn around until the end.

A part-timer at the door of the haunted house hands over a small flashlight.

He helped us position after telling us a lot of cautions.

Upon entering the haunted house, the part-timer closed the door again, and complete darkness and bleak air greeted us.

-Click.

The flash turns on.

It was a weak flashlight with nothing to see. It didn’t take long to realize that this flashlight was a decoration.

Unlike before, Song Soo-yeon sticks a little closer.

“Shall we go?”

“Now, wait a minute.”

Song Soo-yeon catches me as I am about to leave.

It is said that it is in complete darkness, but there was no difficulty in seeing Song Soo-yeon as I am used to the darkness.

She closed her eyes tightly, taking two or three deep breaths, as if she thought she was invisible, then crossed her arms over me.

“……..Go.”

she whispered carefully.

But the folded arms came first.

“…No, Suyeon. Arms folded-“

“-That, just. go without a word Just once. yes…?”

Was it because he wanted such a terrifying experience? It is Song Soo-yeon who spends the day to the fullest.

I shrugged and moved on.

After passing the black cloth blocking our way, the haunted house was revealed with dim red lanterns.

It was a space decorated with various props.

And unintentionally, I figured out the location of all part-timers dressed as ghosts.

I just can’t help it. find out where everything is

You can see where it will pop out and how it will surprise us.

“……”

Still, I kept my mouth shut. There was no need to ruin Song Soo-yeon’s fun.

The more I move, the stronger Song Soo-yeon’s strength in my arms grows.

“Muaaagh!!”

A part-timer stretched out his hand through the barbed wire fence.

“heheheheuk..!”

Song Soo-yeon is surprised and buries her face in my arm.

I had to endure that I almost burst out laughing at Song Soo-yeon’s scream.

Since I’m in a situation where I’m not nervous, all of her actions are embedded in my mind without filtering.

I say to make fun of her even more.

“Sooyeon, open your eyes. You wanted to come.”

“……”

“scary?”

“Ah…it’s not scary.”

She gently removes one eye from my arm.

I looked ahead for a while, then repeated burying my face in my arms again.

For her sake, I stepped out.

Ghosts popped up all over the place.

“Quaaa!!”

“Aww…!”

“Sooyeon, you should look ahead…”

“Gyaaa!!”

“town….!”

“Ugh, give strength to your legs…! I’m going to fall…!”

Seeing her reaction, the mind that was trying to make fun of her disappears. I was genuinely afraid.

That ‘Luna’.

So, Song Soo-yeon was surprised dozens of times, and broke through the haunted house by endowing my arm with strength so strong that the blood did not flow.

When it was over, even I was exhausted.

As soon as she faced the brightly lit outdoor space, she relaxed and leaned on me.

I still haven’t undone my arms.

Breathing heavily, I asked Song Soo-yeon, whose face was still buried in my arm.

“……What did you see?”

“…………”

“…Still, did you achieve what you wanted?”

Song Soo-yeon paused for a moment and hugged my arm tighter.

“…….yes.”

“…then that’s it.”

“…How can you not be surprised at all?”

“no. I was surprised inside.”

I lied for her

Maybe the haunted house was her romance.

If it seems pointless to me, it will not be meaningless to her.

“Now, let go of your arms. Go around more.”

I freed my arms from her.

Terrified, she grabbed my arm, but when she came to her senses, she didn’t know what to say.

“…..ah.”

She let out a short sigh.

“…..Sooyeon?”

“yes? Ah yes. Let’s go… to the next one.”

And then he walks past me

After looking at her for a moment, he smiled and followed her.

*****

After playing happily all day, Song Soo-yeon and I were waiting for the finale.

parade.

What everyone expects, it makes me expect too.

Song Soo-yeon also pretended not to, and this parade was what she looked forward to the most.

While waiting, I am lost in thought.

I really felt like I went back to being a normal person today.

Of course, I’ve lived as a normal person since returning, but… It’s really a matter of mood.

Mix in the crowd and enjoy a normal day.

I can’t even remember when I was as happy as today.

But one thing is for sure, life after the return was hundreds of times better.

……Really, I should have lived like this.

It wasn’t just me who was satisfied.

I could tell without words that Song Soo-yeon also spent the day happily.

We laughed a lot and took a lot of pictures. I only did it once to a man who was swearing.

this will be a record

Song Soo-yeon tightly wrapped her scarf and pulled her hat down deeply.

After doing it all day, it seemed like there was no resistance now.

There is nothing to do while waiting, so I press the soles of my rabbit ear beanie. My ears perked up and trembled.

“…quick-quick-quick.”

A simple laugh is given to me. Just being able to laugh this easily has done this stuff its job.

Song Soo-yeon was enduring the cold by rolling her feet. My touch is no longer rejected as before.

“…When does it start?”

she asked.

“Soon.”

I answered.

I was not lying.

From our left, the cheers of many people and the sound of music begin to resonate.

Soon the parade started.

People dressed as Santa, people dressed as Rudolph. Many smiling and waving at us in eye-pleasing costumes: fairies, strange animals, snowmen, and so on.

I easily come to respect them too.

People who work hard to make others laugh.

Unlike me who only planted fear in other people’s eyes… they are really wonderful people.

I waved to them as well.

When I was a villain, I saw expressions that I didn’t see often here and there.

What kind of expression is Song Soo-yeon?

I turned to her.

“yes?”

She hadn’t seen the expected parade.

you were staring at me

With a slightly dazed expression, he blinked slowly and kept me in his eyes.

“Suyeon, don’t you watch the parade?”

“…….ah. I have to see.”

Giving a slightly sullen answer, she turned her eyes to the parade.

….Is it because I’m tired?

Observing the parade again, Song Soo-yeon speaks cautiously.

“…..mister. I have a wish.”

Her voice was as calm as ever.

“There’s Santa over there. Please.”

I joked back.

Song Soo-yeon did not react.

“…Only you can make it happen.”

“………..”

I nodded slowly.

“I’ll listen and see.”

“…………”

Song Soo-yeon becomes quiet again. The music of the parade grew louder and louder.

Perhaps she was worried, but after a while, she opened her mouth again.

“……Leave me.”

“……”

I acted firm. I’m also lost in thought for a while.

It seemed like a pretty serious request.

let go of the word

A lot has changed since the past when I said I wouldn’t change my title no matter what and I didn’t want to get close.

I smile again to keep the atmosphere from sinking too low.

“…That’s a pretty difficult request.”

“…..yes…?”

she replied weakly.

“How many years have we been using this tone? It is not that easy to change.”

“…Ah…no…”

“And I also have some that I use to keep my distance.”

“….mister….?”

She momentarily grabbed my arm.

When Song Soo-yeon put her hand on my body, I looked back at her.

We exchanged glances.

Firecrackers explode momentarily and soar up into the black sky.

A multicolored light enters her eyes.

I said looking at her.

“…It’s a joke, Soo-yeon.”

Song Soo-yeon’s movements stop. I gave a big smile.

“What could be a simpler wish than this?”
