Anyone who blushes without even knowing they are hungry is a poor person.
“This… … I was in a difficult situation just now and couldn’t even drink a sip of water. haha.”
As Park Jeong-hoon was scratching the back of his head in embarrassment, Lim Bong-soon turned around without hesitation.
“I’ll give you the leftover rice, so come in.”
“Leftover rice… … “This?”
Park Jeong-hoon, who had never eaten anything like that in his life, looked embarrassed, but smiled weakly.
“Since we’ve come this far, let’s eat the leftover rice. But grandma, when I eat cold food, I feel sick… … .”
Park Jeong-hoon, who naturally called me “grandmother,” muttered absently when he saw the warmed kimbap.
“Kimbap tastes best when it’s cooled.”
He was the one who said he wouldn’t eat cold food, so who should he blame?
Eun-yul, who was packing her luggage one by one at the amusement park parking lot, noticed Kang Ha-jun dragging something. It had wheels like a stroller and was much larger than a shopping cart. Of course, Eunyul knew what it was as soon as she saw it.
“Where did you get the wagon all of a sudden?”
“I thought I might need it.”
It’s convenient to have a wagon. No matter how physically fit the children are, it is good to have a place to rest after running around in such a wide area.
“I saw Mijin riding this.”
Sky immediately became interested and looked around. Mijin was her friend who went to the same kindergarten and she had a younger brother, so her mother would often drive the two of them around.
Inwardly, Eunyul was curious and looked closer to see that Kang Ha-jun had put a bag containing lunch, drinks, and other things into the wagon. Then, Eunyul no longer had to carry any extra luggage.
“let’s go.”
Kang Ha-jun put Sky into the wagon and turned toward the amusement park. When he took the first step, Eunyul, who suddenly followed him, smiled and said that she couldn’t stop him.
“dad! come fast.”
When Haneul waved his hand and told him to come, Eunyul hurriedly followed but suddenly stopped. Seeing Kang Ha-jun and Haneul at a glance made me feel something new.
“I, Mr. Hajun, the sky.”
Now that they come out to play together, they look so… … .
“Shall I give you a ride too?”
As Kang Ha-jun turned around and said what he said, Eun-yul burst into laughter. As she moved from where she had stopped, what Eunyul had just felt was etched into her mind.
My impression is that they are very much like one family.
“If you ride here with me, won’t the wheel be damaged?”
“I don’t know about that. “Shall we experiment?”
Kang Ha-jun thought seriously about Eun-yul’s question.
And Haneul looked ahead with excited eyes, as if she was just happy.
* * *
The amusement park was so full of things that stimulated children’s hearts that it could be called a fairyland. Examples include a castle painted in pastel tones and a monotonous but catchy theme song. In addition, there were photo zones all over the place where you can take pictures, and it was full of things that Haneul likes.
“Sky, you can go slowly.”
Eun-yul, who was walking behind Haneul, who got off the wagon and ran towards the amusement equipment, shouted. Seeing Haneul getting excited and unable to control it, perhaps because it had been a while since she had been to the amusement park, Eunyul calmly calmed the child down.
“dad. “Can I ride this?”
“see.”
Eunyul read the instructions and placed her hand on Haneul’s head.
“It says you have to be 110 centimeters tall. “How big is our sky?”
As Eunyul narrowed one eye, Haneul lifted his heel to try to increase his height. Even though he is already over 110 centimeters tall, he seemed to want to go on rides, which was cute.
Haneul wandered around Eunyul to gauge his height and then ran to Kang Ha-jun.
“How tall is Dad?”
“me?”
Kang Ha-jun, who had been caught quietly, glanced at Eun-yul and answered obediently.
“188.”
“It’s so big.”
Haneul suddenly forgot that he was trying to measure his height and was so surprised that he was amazed. Then, as she was lingering around Kang Ha-jun, belatedly comparing his height to mine, she laughed and thought the adults around her were cute.
“Sky. here.”
Eunyul waited patiently for Haneul to guess her height and then called. Even though she didn’t call out loud, Haneul turned around and she pointed to the cute character statue of Eunyul standing next to her.
“He said he was measuring my height.”
The statue had its arms outstretched, indicating the minimum height required to ride the ride.
As Haneul ran over and measured my height, Eunyul smiled at Kang Hajun.
“Today will be pretty hectic. “There will be a lot of running around.”
“I was prepared.”
At Kang Ha-jun’s solemn answer, Eun-yul bit her lip to suppress laughter, but the other parents standing around did not.
When the fathers said that they too had made up their minds, Kang Ha-jun was already having a conversation with them.
‘that’s interesting.’
Kang Ha-jun was someone who didn’t have anyone around him. However, seeing him get along with others so naturally, Eunyul stared at him without realizing it. At that gaze, Kang Ha-jun shrugged his shoulders as if it was nothing.
“The last day I went to the park from kindergarten.”
I was talking about the day when Eunyul was sick, so I took part in her place.
“I learned how to make friends that day.”
“Ahaha.”
This time I couldn’t hold back my laughter. Even though Kang Ha-jun was watching, Eun-yul held her stomach and laughed. It was funny how he, a grown man, acted as if he had just learned how to make friends. So, while she was laughing, Kang Ha-jun instead of stopping her took Haneul’s hand and went on the ride.
The way he worked hard, not only on how to get along with people but also on taking care of Haneul, was clumsy yet quite mature.
“Is this the Kang Ha-jun I know?”
Eunyul, who had suddenly found herself guarding the wagon, wiped away the tears from laughing and looked at Kang Hajun, who was with Haneul in the distance, as if he were another person.
“I can’t find a cold and harsh look.”
Although I thought it had changed a lot, this level of change was surprising. Eunyul’s laughter gradually died down and she waited for Kang Hajun to ride the ride with Haneul.
Before long, I burst out laughing again when I saw Kang Ha-jun appear as the children’s train was running.
“I saw you smiling.”
Eunyul had a hard time controlling the corners of her mouth that quivered as Kang Ha-jun, holding Haneul’s hand, spoke in dissatisfaction.
“No, it’s too much to ride on the children’s train…” … .”
Because you like the size? I think I used the Lilliputian train? So it was funny.
“How was the ride?”
Eun-yul politely handed drinks to Kang Ha-jun and Haneul and turned the conversation around. I put a straw in it to make it easier to eat, and Haneul immediately exclaimed that it was refreshing, and Kang Ha-jun… … .
“That’s fun.”
I muttered while holding a straw in my mouth. Looking at his expression, it seemed like he wasn’t saying anything empty.
Well, amusement parks are not necessarily places where only children can enjoy.
Once Kang Ha-jun rode with Haneul, it was natural from then on. Kang Ha-jun held Haneul’s hand, or Haneul dragged him and rode him.
“It can handle that weight.”
Eunyul waved her hand and took a picture in front of the carousel, which is not really fun but children can never pass by. There were already dozens of photos of Haneul waving her hands gracefully in the carriage, and there were also photos of Kang Ha-Jun not knowing what to do as his legs touched the floor even while riding a horse.
In the photo zone, I took only Haneul’s photo, but then I subtly pushed Kang Ha-jun in and made him pose, and later on, I didn’t forget to take a selfie with all three of them at once.
It was a fun time. Everyone has a constant smile… … .
* * *
We played without stopping, except when we ate lunch in the middle. After playing for 6 hours, it was finally time for Kang Ha-jun and Eun-yul to need caffeine.
After telling Kang Ha-jun to wait for Haneul and Eun-yul, who came out alone to buy coffee, he sighed.
“Wow, this isn’t easy.”
Eunyul, who thought it would be okay since she goes everywhere with Haneul, stuck her tongue out. It wasn’t my first time coming to an amusement park, but it was the first time since my child was old enough to run around so actively.
As the child grew considerably taller, there were more play equipment to enjoy, and when the child pointed to the one he wanted to play with and ran to it, he was busy chasing after it.
“If I were alone, it might have spread here.”
Well, if I had really come alone, I would have been able to hold on somehow, but the fact that I had someone to lean on made me sound weak without realizing it.
“If I were alone… … .”
Eunyul’s lips gently curved as she repeated what I had said. While playing at the amusement park today, Eunyul often felt strange feelings. Even though I definitely have Haneul and my grandmother.
So, I didn’t feel as lonely as if I had a family for the first time when I came into this world, but it felt different. Something… … Do you feel like your own strong castle has been completed?
“What am I thinking?”
It was funny even to think about it myself. There is only one person, Kang Ha-jun, added, but why is it so impressive? But even though I knew that, my thoughts did not change.
“okay. “Let’s admit it.”
As much as I like Kang Ha-jun, I’m glad that he has completely become my alpha. Eunyul, who reflected on why she was in a much better mood these days, headed to the pick-up stand when she heard that coffee was available.
It was that moment when I held the door to grab my coffee and leave. A strong rain poured down with a whooshing sound.
“shower?”
It felt like rain that was pouring down hard and just passing by. Eunyul looked at the rain for a moment and then shifted her gaze to the coffee she was holding. If things continue like this, I think she’ll be taken home wet from the rain… … .
Eunyul covered the top of the coffee with her hand. Then, I looked around to see if there was a place to buy an umbrella nearby, and when I found it wasn’t far away, I ran towards it.
Because people like Eunyul were panicking and buying umbrellas, I had to wait quite a while to pay. Still, I was fortunate to be able to buy the umbrellas before they ran out.
“They keep making me wait.”
As the rain passed by, the rain poured down even stronger with no signs of stopping, but I couldn’t keep the two waiting any longer, so I went into the rain.
Eunyul barely arrived at the place where Kang Ha-jun was waiting, holding coffee in her arms, and looked around with bewildered eyes. Kang Ha-jun, Haneul, and even Wagon were nowhere to be seen.
“Did you evacuate because it was raining?”
However, Eunyul couldn’t guess where he might have gone, so he went inside a building and picked up his cell phone. Only then did he check the missed calls and messages from Kang Ha-jun. He’s been in touch quite a bit. It was raining and I was so focused that I didn’t notice my phone ringing.
“here is… … .”
Eunyul raised her head when she saw the message saying where she was. It was near the souvenir shop where I bought an umbrella. Eunyul put on the umbrella again, wondering how she got here.
