There are two moments when one feels that time flies: one is when one is busy with something of interest, and the other is when one is idle, daydreaming. At this moment, Su Yuhao had this feeling. Looking at the house, which, though not large, was spacious enough for him to live alone, he felt a great sense of accomplishment. Of course, this sense of accomplishment came from the four girls who were busily decorating the room like diligent little bees.
Ever since they arrived at the real estate office, facing numerous houses, Su Yuhao had been completely deprived of the right to speak, especially after Song Qian and another girl named Park Sun-yeon arrived, making the situation even worse. If it weren't for his keen eyes, noticing that the girls were looking at either villas or large apartments, and reminding them, the problem of renting a house might have dragged on until next year. But with the help of the girls, he finally managed to rent this house at an extremely low price.
This house consisted of a bedroom, a small living room, and a small bathroom. The small living room was divided into two areas by frosted glass, with the smaller area near the balcony serving as the kitchen, and the remaining space being the living room. The house was quite empty, and because the price was relatively low, apart from a bed in the bedroom, some cabinets in the kitchen, and a table in the living room, there was nothing else. At this moment, the girls were busy cleaning the house.
"Yuhao, although there isn't much in this house, the price here in JN District is extremely low. When you go to buy some second-hand furniture to use for now, and once you settle down, you can gradually add more things," Song Qian explained to Su Yuhao, who was standing to the side.
Hearing Song Qian's words, Su Yuhao knew that the girl was overthinking again. As Su Yuhao had guessed, Song Qian felt guilty about the girls taking the initiative at the real estate office and making him rent this place, so she came over to explain when she saw him standing to the side.
"Qian-ge, don't overthink it. How could I not know that you all wouldn't joke about such important matters? Besides, Qian-ge, I'm a top agent in the making. After seeing so many houses, how could I not know that this is a good deal? As for the furniture, I don't have many needs as a guy, so don't worry. Your kind nature is very suitable for kind people, but if you encounter someone very unreasonable, you might suffer, especially in the complex entertainment industry. So, sometimes, excessive kindness is a sign of weakness," Su Yuhao couldn't help but care for the kind Song Qian, as if he was facing his former self.
"I know, I'm your senior, how could I not understand what you're saying? I'm just treating you as a true friend, that's why I'm telling you this. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother with you," Song Qian, though touched by his warm words, replied with a bit of pride and then joined the others in cleaning, ignoring Su Yuhao.
Looking at Song Qian, who had turned her back on him, Su Yuhao helplessly muttered, "Sigh, I forgot, that's just women!"
An hour later, at the entrance of Lotte Amusement Park, the group, having finished their meal, arrived at their final destination for the day.
"Oppa, this is the largest and most comprehensive amusement park nearby, so it will definitely bring back your childhood memories," Sulli, still remembering Su Yuhao's words from the morning, reminded him again.
"Yes, my Sulli, then I'll leave it to you to introduce me to the memories of my childhood," Su Yuhao, who was already exhausted from the argument, had to compromise.
"Ha, got it, oppa, remember to follow me!" Sulli happily agreed.
"Ye, got it," Su Yuhao nodded in response, but soon began to regret it. Pirate ship, Ferris wheel, roller coaster, bumper cars, chase cars, haunted house, carousel, pedal boats, and more.
These games either terrified Su Yuhao or made him feel incredibly childish, making him hate the system for assigning such a task. However, for the sake of the mission and his male pride, he had to grit his teeth and endure. Even so, he had to endure the constant noise.
"Ha, oppa, are you scared? I saw you shivering just now!" This was Sulli, his closest friend, teasing him, which he ignored.
"Hee, Yuhao oppa, your gaming skills are so poor. Even Song Qian, who never plays games, can beat you. Really," This was Crystal, who had been getting back at her, looking down on him, which he despised.
"Yuhao oppa, you're not riding the carousel correctly. If you do it like that, you'll be in danger when it starts moving," This was Sun-yeon, who had finally started calling him oppa after a few hours, giving him advice, which made him blush.
He didn't care about any of these, but why did Song Qian, who had always been kind to him, also start teasing him?
"Yuhao, it seems Sulli was right. You really didn't play these things when you were a child! No, you probably never played these things from childhood to now! Ah, what a pity. When we have time, I'll bring you back here to play all the games you missed today, how about that?" Song Qian's pitiful expression made Su Yuhao retreat, and he no longer played with the girls.
"Beautiful girls, indeed, 'can be admired from afar but not played with.' Getting close to them is a headache! She is, and you all are no different!" Watching the girls playing, Su Yuhao couldn't help but think of his recent lost love.
"Wow, this place is so beautiful! I want to play! Seon-hee unnie, let's go play!" A foreign-sounding Korean phrase reached Su Yuhao's ears, and the colloquialism made him feel a sense of kinship, but he didn't pay attention to the girl speaking, instead quietly sitting and watching the girls play.
"Ah, Nicole, why are you always so happy? Don't you worry about your future? You know, our group is having a hard time right now! We have no popularity at all!" The girl called Seon-hee sighed.
"But what can we do? We can't do anything, can we? So, we can only rely on the company. Besides, we've been busy since our debut, either running schedules or practicing hard to improve our skills. We've never had a break. Now that we finally have a holiday, we should relax. This way, when we go back, we'll have more energy to face our future!" Although Nicole's Korean wasn't very good, she clearly expressed her thoughts without pausing for incorrect sentences, which Su Yuhao admired when he was learning Korean, and which also piqued his interest.
"Alright! You have a point. Let's go play that carousel. Look at those girls having so much fun. Let's join them!" She said, pulling Nicole towards Su Yuhao's position.
Su Yuhao watched the two girls curiously as they approached, still thinking about their conversation. Although he didn't know them, he sympathized with their situation.
Watching the two girls pass by with smiles on their faces, Su Yuhao admired them for the first time. They could still smile in such a situation, something he couldn't do. As he watched them leave with admiration, his expression slowly turned to shock.
