Chapter 352 – #74_Maria Kim in Wonderland
One.
Her eyes her popped open before the alarm went off.
As soon as I wake up, I pick up my phone and check the weather today.
December 30th weather.
The lowest temperature is -2 degrees, the highest temperature is 6 degrees, sunny all day.
The long-awaited date is clear weather without a single rain cloud, which makes them feel good.
“Ahhhhh…!”
I stretched out loud. I feel my body, which had been hardened all night, loosening up with a light bone sound.
First, I turned off the stand that had been on all night with tiptoe.
A bean bag sofa by the window in the living room and a pile of books next to it.
I had a long-awaited desire to read a mystery novel, so I had time to go straight through Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes series.
There is a reason why this Sherlock series is called a well-made classic mystery novel, compared to recently published mystery novels that have obvious tricks or throw only unkind clues that readers can’t guess.
So it seems that I read it over and over again even though I know all the tricks and endings.
“You’re so messed up.”
If you have long hair with semi-curly hair, there is an unavoidable fate.
It’s just that when you wake up, your hair gets messy.
It’s not like I was laying down and tossing over, I just woke up half-lying on the sofa, so it’s still a mystery how I got so messed up.
Well, so much so that even my smart brain couldn’t figure it out.
I wonder what kind of reasoning Holmes would make.
I combed my hair with the comb I had on my side and headed to the bathroom.
A light morning shower humming along.
Since today is a special day, I used plenty of conditioner and treatment, and thoroughly washed every corner of my body with body wash.
Sit at the dressing table, put on your clothes first, dry your hair, and adjust your skin texture with toner.
Light base makeup.
I’m not the type to wear color makeup, so I always put on a tint and lightly tidy up my eyebrows to finish my makeup.
To finish off the hair that was slowly dried in the cold wind for 30 minutes, two nice hair ties.
It is a hair tie that braids my shiny hair into two braids to make the coordinator look gorgeous.
“Huh? But did I originally do something like this?”
When I put on my hair tie and look in the mirror, it is very strange.
I’m going to wear jeans that stick to my body, sweatshirt, and a hoodie zip-up on top of that… Twin tails on top?
Will it suit you?
I looked in the mirror for a moment and was lost in thought.
But it wasn’t a long worry.
It’s not bad to change your image by changing your hairstyle before a date, but there is a style that you’ve been sticking to.
As long as I’ve been doing it for a long time, the best haircut for me is twin tails.
After tidying up my hair without much trouble, I left the house drinking a small pack of milk.
“Is the reservation name Lovely Maria Kim?”
I heard that the front of the apartment parking lot is somehow noisy.
A large helicopter had landed in an empty lot in the parking lot.
A man wearing black sunglasses and a suit approaches me under the blowing wind.
I was somewhat perplexed.
Lovely Kim Maria?
Of course, it’s true that I’m full of charm and pretty, but that’s why I put Lovely on the name of the reservation?
I had no choice but to stick my tongue out at my boyfriend’s love and affection.
Still, I can’t express my dislike by sending a helicopter to serve them.
I took a deep breath and replied.
“Right.”
“I’m here to pick you up. Let’s get on.”
A man in a black suit handed me earplugs that looked like headphones.
If you do this, the shape of the hair you’ve been holding won’t be ruined, right?
Besides, the wind was blowing so much that I was worried that the clothes I had been wearing would get a lot of dust.
I need to meet you and say something.
I couldn’t take my anger out on the person who was working hard, so I got on the helicopter in silence.
2.
20 years of life.
If it’s long, it’s long, if it’s short, in that short time, I’ve been getting tired of confessing or flirting.
12 times in elementary school, 22 times in middle school, and 3 times in high school.
Of course, the number of times they accepted the confession and had full-fledged friendship is zero.
By the way, the reason why the number of times I was confessed to when I was in high school was not because I was ugly.
This is because students who do not know how to respect someone greater than themselves have spread a lot of malicious rumors, and as a result, they have completely risen at school.
I like pretty and cute girls, but I don’t like dating bullies.
Looking at those stupid boys, I gave up dating without regret because I had lost what I had.
In the first place, everything like love is based on hormones and the instinct of breeding.
I, already in love with books, had no spare love to share with others.
However, it seems that a person’s life can change due to very small things.
Now, I had a boyfriend.
If I had told this to Maria Kim a year ago, she would probably have snorted her for not lying.
Actually, I still don’t quite believe it.
There is a man to date.
Besides, that person is a school counselor who is 12 years older than me.
I will explain later how the romance between the priests, which seemed like something out of a high-teen novel, started.
“I’m here?”
When I got off the helicopter and stepped into Korea’s most famous amusement park, Eternal Wand, a neatly dressed man smiled at me.
A nice looking pomade.
Intelligent rimless glasses that go very well with sharp faces.
This is Yu-chan, a counselor at the Cheon Sang-gye Jae-study Academy, where I worked for a while, and now my boyfriend.
I grabbed my tousled hair from getting off the helicopter and approached Yu-chan with a thud.
I’ll have to check it out first
“What if we send a helicopter right away? Your hair is messy. Your clothes are messed up.”
“You still wanted to surprise me?”
“I’d rather pick you up by car than do something childish like this.”
He scolded Yu-chan in a voice full of annoyance.
I was really annoyed at times, so I had no qualms about murmuring at him.
“Don’t be like that. It’s a date I’ve been looking forward to, and I want to have a great time.”
Whatever it is, Yu-chan just smiles and stretches out his hand to her.
This is a very bad habit of my boyfriend, and when he complains about pretty much anything, he doesn’t listen and laughs it off.
Even though it’s a proper feedback for what I want, I’m secretly embarrassed when I pass it over with my natural pace.
Well, it’s not to the point of hating it.
Compared to normal people, I have the awareness that I’m particularly picky, and we’re dating each other for now.
“Be careful in the future.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
He carefully held my outstretched hand, like a knight escorting a princess.
I put the pod in that state and put it in my pocket.
A tingling feeling ran down my spine.
After all, holding hands with a man like this is not an adaptation.
“Shall we go in? I cut off the free pass.”
“I can’t ride without a magic pass. It’s a waste of time to wait.”
“I knew it and prepared for it.”
At his words, I nodded my head in satisfaction.
This level of preparedness is a reward for taking a long walk to the noisy and crowded entertainment facility I personally call an amusement park.
“Well done.”
Still, giving compliments openly can take away the initiative in a relationship.
I congratulated him with one word and moved on with his steps.
Behind me, Yoo-chan, who quickly received my bag, followed me like a bodyguard.
3.
For what reason did I, who had neither looked at nor cared about men, come to meet Yoo-chan?
Looking back, it was pretty dramatic.
I proceeded with Yu-chan and Gamble to get out of the re-study academy, which had no income at all.
It was a simple battle of brains in which the winner was the one who chose any event and won two consecutive wins, but Yu-chan, surprisingly, competed in more than 60 games with me.
In other words, it is said that I fought a fierce battle against Maria Kim.
Although I won the victory trophy with a score of 31 to 29, after that incident, I became a little interested in Yoo-chan.
He said that he played with his hands (I only used 50 % of my abilities when playing games), but he was a man who could compete with me to this extent, and his well-informed appearance his was so attractive that I applied for a date first.
Of course, having a preference for appearance must have played a part.
“Maria, don’t be too angry and go on the rides.”
“I don’t like that kind of kid. You have to scream, but doesn’t your throat hurt?”
“It’s okay if you don’t scream.”
“……”
I confess at this point, in fact, rides are a kind of pesticide for me.
It causes vomiting and motion sickness in various ways, but I don’t know why they call it a ride. I’d rather have an instrument of torture.
Even my green condition turns yellow when a playground equipment is splashed on it.
If it hadn’t been for the date course that Yu-chan had prepared ambitiously, he would have refused.
… Still, I prepared this hard, but he can’t even express his displeasure.
“Anyway, how about that?”
Eternal World has more than 50 rides, just like its reputation.
Eternal Express, which is more appropriately called a soul thresher, a trapeze worthy of the name of a human centrifugal separator, and a super viking whose true name is actually the pendulum movement of the nether…
But it’s not me that I can ride anyway.
“That?”
Yoo-chan’s gaze followed my fingertips and reached the ride.
Along with Viking, each merry-go-round is synonymous with rides.
Of course, the merry-go-round is also a ride that is quite difficult for me, but I was able to ride it with him at least once because of his admirable appearance.
“I came all the way here, but was it like that?”
“What is that way of speaking?”
“No, it’s something more fun to type together.”
When I pretended to be a little annoyed, Yu-chan scratched his head with an embarrassed expression.
Yu-chan put her hand on his shoulder her and apologized.
“Sorry, if you don’t like it, can we walk slowly?”
“It’s okay. I’m not angry.”
Actually, I didn’t mean to be so reprimanded. I’ve been away from interpersonal relationships for a long time, so I still don’t get a feel for how to treat people.
It’s not easy to have a daily conversation, let alone a boyfriend…
If Yu-chan had been a bit harsh, she would have broken up soon.
For that, I feel a little grateful to Yuchan.
Of course, it’s probably because I’ve fallen for my beauty and flirted around without a bell like that.
“How about that one?”
“Okay, would you like to buy something to drink with us on the ride?”
“All right, come here.”
Still, it can’t be helped that the corner of my mouth keeps getting loose.
It was a long-forgotten feeling, but it felt pretty good to have other people consistently show me goodwill.
So, holding Yuchan’s hand tightly, we arrived at the boarding point of the ‘Hot Air Balloon Tour’, where you can look around the entire Eternal World.
Of course, it’s not a real hot air balloon as much as it’s a ride… How?
“You can adjust the altitude with this burner. Don’t touch the pressure tank carelessly.”
Is it a real hot air balloon?
Yu-chan stretched out her arm and opened the propane gas nozzle connected to the burner.
When the sandbag, which served as a weight, is thrown out of the hot air balloon, the hot air balloon begins to rise.
No, but isn’t a real hot air balloon more dangerous than a ride?
When I came up with the idea of not knowing why it came up so belatedly, the hot air balloon was already floating high in the sky, looking down at the Eternal World.
My legs trembled involuntarily at that dizzying view.
I thought it was just a play equipment decorated indoors, but what a change.
At that time, a thick hand gently hugs my side, which was anxious.
Yu-chan and I are the only ones in the hot air balloon’s gondola, so the owner of the hand is clear.
“Don’t hug me carelessly outside.”
“Why? No one’s watching anyway.”
“……”
I was silent.
Rather than completely agreeing with his words, it was because the higher I climbed, the more my fear grew.
Even if you are not normally trustworthy, having someone hug you next to you gives you a sense of psychological stability.
“Actually, I’ve also made a restaurant reservation today. I’m going right there in this hot air balloon.”
“You’re going straight in a hot air balloon? How?”
“See that rising from the building over there? These days, because of the low-carbon policy and carbon footprint, hot air balloons with relatively low carbon emissions are in the limelight as an eco-friendly means of transportation.”
Hmm, did you?
It’s the first time I’ve heard of it, but Yuchan is always brighter than me in current events, so it’s probably like that.
I pinched Yoo-chan’s hand that was quietly stroking his butt while holding my waist.
“Didn’t I tell you not to flirt outside?”
“Ha ha, sorry.”
Yu-chan quickly removed his hand from her and smiled lightheartedly.
Anyway, it sticks without even trying…
There was a little bit of a cute corner to his cunning her, so I swallowed a laugh.
“Ha…”
Crazy Kim Maria.
Love can change a person a little bit.
