After briefly glancing at Heena's face, I summoned the courage to look around and below us.
So, I attempted to separate from Heena to explore the inside of the amusement park, but she grabbed me as I turned and lifted her phone.
"We have to take a picture, Yeonho."
"Is there a scene where they take pictures in a place like this?"
Given its a Japanese comic book, the basic setting must have been in Japan. Do they have apparatuses there that hang from the ceiling indoors?
"It's usually taken on a Ferris wheel, but since there isn't one here, we'll take it here instead."
"Ferris wheel? Ah~ It reminds me."
A scene I saw in the comic book yesterday fleetingly crossed my mind. I seem to remember it being a scene where they were kissing while hugging each other, seated inside a Ferris wheel.
The male lead sat with his legs spread, and the female lead sat between them, turning her head back, like what we had done at my place before.
However, this ride didnt have seats to sit on. Essentially, you had to stand while riding it.
"Just stand here and hold me. I'll turn my head, so you just need to kiss me, got it?"
Following her words, I wrapped my arms around Heena's waist. Even through her somewhat thick sweatshirt, I could feel her soft body.
Her hair smelled extraordinarily fragrant too, the scent of Heenas shampoo that I had often smelled before.
It might sound a bit perverted, but while smelling that scent and briefly waiting, Heena, who had turned on the camera, slyly turned her head.
And she then pursed her lips.
"Kiss!"
"Yes, a kiss."
This time, without closing my eyes, I overlapped my lips with hers, who continued to look in my direction.
-Click, click, click. Again, the sound of consecutive shots rang out as soon as our lips met, and quickly after parting them, she checked the photo.
Pictures were an essential part of today's plan, but doing it this lightly each time made me feel a little unsatisfied.
So, while checking the photos taken in her arms, I turned Heena's face towards me once again.
"Huh? Yeonho, why..."
I sealed Heena's mouth, which was about to express doubt about my action, with my own. Embedding my gratitude for calming me down just a moment ago.
As always, I naturally slipped in my tongue, invading her inside.
"Uh...haa... Yeonho... hug me tighter..."
When our lips parted for a moment, she requested with dazed eyes. I hugged her with a bit more strength and left my traces again on her mouth, lips, and cheeks.
"Huff- Hoo... Did the photo come out well?"
"Haa... Yeah... I couldnt take this one... Its a pity..."
Regulating her rapid breathing, she still fixed her gaze on my mouth and spoke.
Both Heena and I seemed to want to do more, but since the ride seemed about to arrive, I placated the regret with one more brief kiss on Heenas cheek.
"Where should we go next?"
"The parade is starting soon, so let's go watch that."
"Okay~"
As we exited the building we had entered to ride the attraction, the street was already being closed off and vigorously prepared for the parade.
Traffic was restricted, and it seemed difficult to wander around, so the two of us held hands, watching preparations for a bit and sharing conversation.
"It's different from what they do in the evening, isnt it? I wonder if we can see that one too."
If we had come with friends, even with the crowd, riding amusement park rides while waiting in various lines would have quickly passed the time until evening.
However, since we were leisurely strolling with a mindset of riding whatever we could, spending several hours here felt a bit intense.
In fact, spending time together wasnt an issue, but I was mindful that Heena might get tired.
Moreover, with the crowds, even having a meal inside the amusement park looked challenging. We might not leave even if they got hungry.
"We can continue having fun and then decide if we want to stay longer," Yeonho suggested.
Heena, seemingly unsure of how long she wanted to stay, left her words hanging in the air, "We might."
"Guess so. Oh, is it starting?"
The parade, which started in the middle of their conversation, unfolded with the musical sound, as actors passed by one after the other, performing according to the concepts of each ride in the park.
Although the parade didn't quite shine as brightly in the still-bright daylight, it was worth watching. Wed seen it at least once every year they came, and while it was hard to remember, it felt mostly familiar.
"Isnt that princess pretty?"
Heena pointed out a beautiful foreign actress with blonde hair, acting within a transparent spherical prison.
Yeonho was about to mindlessly agree, saying Yeah, pretty, but stopped himself just in time.
"Really? I think youre much prettier."
"Really~?"
Fortunately, it seemed like the right answer. She smiled, looking pleased, and refocused on the parade.
Yeonho too, alongside Heena, blankly watched the parade for a moment, then, as the performance ended and the crowd began to stir again, they moved on.
They didnt really have a destination. Considering the crowd, riding amusement rides like mad wasnt easy, so they decided to stroll and sightsee.
And here, amidst the variety of places, Heena, sharp as ever, caught onto Yeonho's taste for junk food, like churros.
"I'll buy it."
"No~ I already got us the all-access passes. Just eat quietly, okay?"
"That was my brother's money, though."
"Your brother is your family, right?"
Strangely the logic was flawless, so what could he do?
"You're going to be family too, sooner or later."
"......"
Since Heena always expressed a desire for things like living together, he thought this joking retaliation might work. As expected, her body stiffened robotically at those words.
Not missing a beat, he continued the onslaught.
"So, since were practically family, it doesnt matter if I buy it, right?"
"Yeonho."
"Admit it?"
"Now... No, its a bit awkward with so many people around. Lets go over to that secluded spot for a moment."
But why that out-of-the-way corner?
Heena pulled me along, urging the still and perplexed me forward.
"Come quick!"
"Why there all of a sudden?"
"Did you think you could just say something sweet and move on?"
"I said something nice, why does it feel like I'm getting scolded?"
The conversation started while contemplating whose money to use for the churros, their scent continually drawing my attention their way.
I wondered, couldnt we first eat those and then talk?
"Han Yeonho, come here, quick."
Eventually, I followed her and only managed to return and purchase the churros ten minutes later.
With my own money.
And a red mark lingered on my neck, one that I found absolutely no way to conceal, so I gave up trying.
Deciding that it would be difficult to go out and eat, we wandered around and snacked on various things as we went.
After having churros and popcorn, we also tried whirlwind potatoes and a hotdog each.
Personally, it was a very happy time for me, but Heena doesn't eat much and usually doesnt indulge in such snacks. So, it was a bit worrisome since she only tasted a bit of everything.
I'll have to feed her something on our way home.
After snacking here and there, we only rode relatively peaceful amusement rides like the revolving basket, monorail, and the French Revolution.
Although there were long lines for some of the popular and intense rides, I had a feeling that Heena was avoiding them out of consideration for me.
Its not that I cant ride those, but I was a bit wary. I naturally like the atmosphere of amusement parks.
However, when I said, "We came all this way, arent we going to ride them?"
"It's okay, those rides will mess up my hair~"
She continued to focus on strolling around and taking pictures.
Whether she meant it, or whether it was my misunderstanding or she was thinking of me, I couldnt tell. To be honest, she would tie her hair briefly even when riding the French Revolution, so she was probably just being considerate.
Grateful and apologetic feelings mingled together, making me participate more passionately in taking pictures with Heena.
Photos like the cotton candy kiss, and the ones with roaming mascot dolls forming a heart together.
As we went around taking photos like that, we ventured outdoors again to try out the gyro spin and revolving swings at least once.
Even after that, there were still many people around, and when it became difficult to squeeze through crowds to ride more attractions and the current time was quite ambiguous,
"Still, since we came all this way, shall we watch the evening parade before we go?"
"Shall we? But lets take one more photo before that."
With that, we moved to a relatively secluded spot so as not to obstruct the traffic, and she made me sit down.
And then, from behind me, she wrapped her arms around my neck and pressed her body against me.
"Want a piggyback ride?"
"Yeah! There was a scene where the injured female lead takes a commemorative photo while being piggybacked~"
"Really?"
Agreeing to her words, I obediently assumed a piggyback posture.
Come to think of it, this was the first time giving a piggyback. There hadnt been a reason to before.
While I'm not particularly strong, I thought I could manage to piggyback Heena for a short while.
Thinking that this pose was no big deal for a moment.
Heena really fully pressed her body against me, so I could distinctly feel her chest against my back.
Of course, wed hugged a lot and stuck together many times, so it wasnt the first time I felt something like this.
Struggling to clear my head, I placed my hands on Heena's thighs and lifted her up.
"...Wow."
"Whats wrong? Am I heavy?"
"No, nothing. Youre not heavy at all."
The sensation felt on my back was somewhat familiar, but the soft feeling in my hands was completely unfamiliar.
Moreover, because it was a skirt, her bare skin was directly touching my hands and arms.
It was a different feeling from when I applied sunscreen to Heena at the beach.
This time, it was truly contact between bare skin and bare hand.
The softness into which my hand seemed to sink made me feel like I was about to lose my mind.
"Heena, what about the photo?"
"Just a moment~"
Barely maintaining my composure, I spoke to Heena. Just as she was slowly bringing her phone in front of my face to take a selfie,
"Hmm~"
Heena made a peculiar noise and then tapped my cheek as she spoke.
"Yeonho, I'm sorry to say this while you're lifting me, but the part you're holding feels a bit painful."
"Oh, does it? Should I put you down for a second?"
Did I hold her wrong? I've never lifted someone like this before, so I wasnt sure, but it seemed quite ordinary.
"No, could you support a different part instead?"
"A different part?"
Where I was holding her was close to the crease of her thigh. Wondering which part she meant, I asked, and Heena gently whispered in my ear.
"A bit more inward... I think it'll be fine if you hold onto my butt."
