Over The Seas [Kim Sunwoo The Boyz]

Chapter Fifty-Three

Summer time is coming to an end and autumn is just around the corner. We've all
been working endlessly with college work and haven't had much time to go out and have fun as a group.

Areum planned a day for us to go to Lotte World on the weekend. When she had heard that I've never been, she was more than excited to make a whole itinerary of the day and list all the activities I have to try.
We met up in the morning at a bus stop and made our way to the park.

It looks huge from the outside and the place was packed. They had a lot to offer since they have the world's largest indoor park and an outside amusement park. Areum told me that there were even more things that I didn't think were possible to have at a theme park. There are so many colors and attractions once we got in.

"Okay, since it's Riyae's first time here we have to make it a good, no, great experience!" Sewoon and Jonghoon nodded.
"We'll start with the smaller rides and work our way up but we shouldn't waste too much time on the small ones. Let's start from the inside and if we have enough time, we'll go outside but we have to ride Atlantis Adventure!" Areum said with great enthusiasm.
Hearing her plan filled me with adrenaline and I was ready to begin the day of fun.

We rode tons of rides in the span of 3 hours. Areum made sure I got a chance to ride all of her favorites. Funny enough that she would always choose to ride with Sewoon. Not that I'm mad or anything but I imagined she would like to enjoy it together. At least Jonghoon makes it fun for me.

We all got hungry and decided to take a break to eat lunch. There were many choices so we all agreed to try the hotdogs. I haven't had once since I left the U.S. five years ago so it was exciting for me to try them here.

Once I had ordered, I tried getting out my cash but Jonghoon stopped me.
"Don't worry, I'll pay for yours."
"What? No, you don't have to." I argued but he kept insisting.
I knew he wouldn't give up and there was already a line so I let him pay my fee for the second time.

Areum pulls me aside with a huge grin on her face.
"Did he really just pay for you food!"
"Yes, it was just a nice gesture if you're thinking something else." I said.
"You can't tell me that's something a guy in love wouldn't do! He's such a gentleman around you!" Areum kept pestering.
"Seriously, there's nothing going on. Jonghoon is a good friend of ours." I emphasized. "You really need to stop thinking he has any sort of feeling for me or vice versa."
Her facial expression changed into a serious look.
"Riyae, we've been living together for almost four years now, you'd think I'd know when you're not being honest with me."
I rolled my eyes because I knew she wouldn't give up. She only gets more and more stubborn as the years pass.
We got our food and sat down at a table to eat.

Once we finished, we walked around the park to let the food settle down. As we walked, Sewoon saw a specific ride that didn't involve any fast movements. It was an AR type ride where we sit down in front of a big screen and the seats move. This is one of Sewoon's favorites and constantly talked about it anytime Lotte World came up in a conversation. Both Areum and Jonghoon had a heavy meal and didn't feel up to it quite yet so it was just Sewoon and I.

With school, his relationship, and other world things, I don't get too much time to spend time with him like we used to. I always try to enjoy the moments I have with him and add them to the many memories of our lasting friendship.

The ride was super fun and it only filled me with more energy. Sewoon would not stop talking about the ride until we were all ready to ride another big ride.
We moved our way outside and immediately got into the line for one of the most popular rides: Atlantis Adventure.
The line did take a lot longer than the others but Areum made sure to tell me that it would be worth it.
It was finally our turn to ride and of course, I sat next to Jonghoon.
