My Girlfriend Is Very Good To Me [EN]: Chapter 207

Family Outing to the Amusement Park (2)

* * *

Sarang and Heena were thrilled with my suggestion to go to the amusement park. They always welcomed such family events.

Only Somang tilted her head, not knowing what an amusement park was.

For the next week, Sarang was especially excited, chattering every day about what we should do and what we should eat. Heena and I just smiled and indulged her.

Actually, neither of us really gave it much thought. With Somang, there would be many restrictions on what rides we could take, and the lines for the rides suitable for young children wouldn’t be long.

We would just grab something to eat while walking around, so there was nothing to prepare separately. In a way, it was a very easygoing family outing.

“Dad, Dad! Let’s wear matching couple hats when we go this time!”

“Should we?”

“Yes!”

“Hmph… you two are wearing couple hats~ How nice~ Should I match with Somang then?”

“Couple hat?”

“Somang will wear the same hat as Mommy.”

“Wanna wear same as Dada.”

“Mommy’s sad~”

“Th-Then, let’s all wear the same thing! All four of us!”

“Pfft… Okay, let’s do that. Heena, the hats we matched before, will they still fit Somang?”

“It’s adjustable, so it’ll be fine.”

All we had to think about was fashion. Heena still couldn’t live without couple items and family items, and Sarang was the same.

Thanks to that, the two of them had countless conversations about how to let the whole world know at a glance that we were a family.

I watched them, with Somang, taking out all sorts of clothes and agonizing over what to wear.

As for my fashion, I had been under Heena’s control for a long time, so there was nothing to think about. I just wore whatever Heena gave me.

In the past, I used to feel sorry about always doing that, so I tried to study fashion on my own, but Heena liked dressing me up to her taste, and honestly, her sense was good, so I stopped thinking for myself at some point.

More than anything, Heena wanted that. Thanks to that, I no longer had the confidence to coordinate my outfits without Heena. These days, Sarang had also started lending a hand.

“Dad looks good in a pink t-shirt. This light pink one!”

“Really? Then should we go with this one? What about Sarang?”

“I’ll take ivory!”

Thanks to that, we were putting all our energy into choosing clothes until the day we left. We had bought so many family t-shirts that we were filling the master bedroom every day and agonizing over what to wear.

But me in pink is a bit… well… never mind….

* * *

A week passed, and it was the day of departure.

We didn’t have much to prepare besides clothes during the week, but it was a bit difficult to turn down all the *hyungs* [older male friends or brothers] who wanted to come with us.

Unlike other places, amusement parks are very difficult to navigate with a large group of people in such a crowded place.

And today, Heena, who wouldn’t let me hold the steering wheel, was driving, I was in the passenger seat, and the children were in the back seat.

The car we were in now was a used Carnival that we bought when we became independent. The traffic in Seoul was terrible, so Heena didn’t drive it to work, but we bought it with the intention of using it when we went out to play like this.

“Make sure to wear your seatbelts~ Sarang, take good care of Somang.”

“Yes! I’ll take good care of Somang!”

“Somang, listen to your sister.”

“Don’t wanna be with Dada.”

“It’s dangerous in the car, so you can’t~ Just bear with it a little. Okay?”

“Okay…”

Heena, holding the steering wheel, was kindly giving instructions to the children. Even though she didn’t have many opportunities to drive, Heena’s driving skills were very good.

It was a shame that she wouldn’t let me drive, but I still enjoyed seeing Heena’s profile from the passenger seat. Heena looked cool when she was holding the steering wheel.

So we drove to the amusement park, all four of us wearing matching clothes and hats.

The amusement park, which took about an hour to reach, was, as expected, quite crowded with people on a nice weekend. Thanks to that, it took a while to park.

I immediately picked up Somang in my arms, overwhelmed by the overflowing crowd.

“Somang, hold on tight to Daddy.”

“Got it.”

“Good. Sarang, don’t let go of my hand either.”

“Okay!”

We pushed our way through the crowd, and it wasn’t until we entered with the pre-booked free passes that we could breathe again.

And from that moment on, the atmosphere of the amusement park, which was always full of childlike innocence no matter when we came, enveloped our family.

I had never liked riding scary rides in such places. I also had a fear of heights.

But still, amusement parks were good because they had a unique atmosphere that made you feel happy just by looking around.

As soon as we entered, we took a picture of the four of us and slowly looked around. Then Heena suggested first.

“Honey, shall we ride the teacups first? Let’s rest there for a bit.”

“Okay. It doesn’t look like there are many people waiting right now.”

It took a long time to get in because there were so many people, and since there was no line at the teacups, we went straight there.

Teacups. When you come with friends, it’s a centrifuge of death, but when you ride with family, it’s the warmest ride in the world.

This was not bad to be in charge of the start of the day.

I put down Somang, who I was holding, and helped her grab the round handle in the middle.

“Somang, grab this and turn it. Do you want to try?”

“Wanna try.”

“Sarang, help her a little.”

“Okay! I’ll do it with Somang! Follow me, Somang!”

The teacup they were riding in slowly started to rotate as the two of them diligently turned the handle with their tiny hands.

I held Somang’s back with one hand in case she fell, and wrapped my other arm around Heena’s shoulder, who was sitting next to me.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve been to an amusement park, right?”

“Yeah~ I’m so happy to be here with you~”

Heena, leaning against me, was taking a breather with a warm smile. She was a career woman who was getting busier and busier as her promotion was coming up soon.

Thanks to that, she often looked tired lately. She said that all her hardships disappeared when she was next to me, but I wasn’t some save point in a game, so her physical fatigue couldn’t actually disappear.

Thinking about that, it might be better to rest at home. But since Heena was also looking forward to today’s outing, this leisurely relaxation might be more helpful for her recovery.

I impulsively decided to come to the amusement park after listening to my friends, but it seems like we came at a good time in many ways.

“Dizzy.”

“Somang, are you tired?”

“Fun.”

“That’s good. What about Sarang?”

“I’m okay! How is it now, Dad? Should I turn it faster?”

“No, it’s perfect. Just a little more, please~”

“Okay!”

Heena and I were sitting comfortably, enjoying the peace. Sarang and Somang were slowly turning the handle and enjoying the ride.

Yeah, this is it.

Getting away from playing rock-paper-scissors with a serious atmosphere to sit on my lap, and laughing together like this on a sunny day.

This is what I wanted.

Of course, the same days will be repeated when we return home, but I have to enjoy this moment now.

* * *

After taking a break while riding the teacups, we roamed around the amusement park.

Originally, we were planning to take it a little easier, but Somang was more excited than I thought.

Well. Amusement parks are places where even adults get excited when they actually come, so it would be even more so for children. Because it is the garden of dreams.

And starting with the first ride, the teacups, Somang was.

“Dada! Train! Wanna ride!”

“You want to ride the train? But I wonder if adults are allowed to ride that together…”

“We rode it with Sarang before too~”

“I remember too! We rode that and went all the way around here!”

“Hurry!”

“Okay, okay. Let’s go, Somang.”

When she saw the mini train that went around the amusement park, her eyes lit up and she grabbed me.

“Mommy! There! Dada is there!”

“Okay, Sarang! Charge at Daddy!”

“Charge!”

“W-Wait! Be gentle! Sarang! Heena!”

“Kyaaaa! Bumped! Sister bumped like this!”

In the bumper cars, where we were divided into pairs, she screamed at the top of her lungs at Sarang’s body check.

“Whoaaa… high…”

“Somang is brave~ Aren’t you scared?”

“Not scared.”

“Really? Are you and Sarang okay?”

“…Tell me when we arrive?”

“M-Me too…”

The balloon flight, which went around the inside of the amusement park attached to the ceiling, was also very fun.

Sarang and I were too scared to look down, so we hugged each other tightly.

In addition to that, we conquered many rides with Somang and Sarang, such as the merry-go-round, mini Viking, and Eureka. The part that was a complete win-win when our family came to a place like this was this.

Sarang took after me and couldn’t ride scary things in the first place, and Heena just enjoyed whatever she rode as long as we were together.

And since Somang was there, we were only choosing rides for children, and these rides for children hardly had any lines.

Thanks to that, we were able to ride the fun ones twice without waiting, and it wasn’t until we went all the way around that we had a very late lunch.

“Car zoom! Went up! So Sister went like this!”

“Yeah, yeah~ Somang had fun? But you have to eat~ Ah~”

“Ah~”

The three of us watched with a happy smile as she talked excitedly while eating.

Our son is so cute.
