I’m in trouble because I accidentally took away the protagonist’s
awakening event. Episode 304

Side story 04. Amusement park of memories (4)
The silence was unbearable.

I looked over my mother’s shoulder.

Annoyingly, I was left alone on this side, while Yuha and her younger brother walked with their father on the other side.

My brother sensed my gaze and glanced over at me, then our eyes met.

I appealed with my eyes.

I want to give up and move over there too.

My younger brother shut his eyes tightly and turned his head away as if to say that it couldn’t be happening.

“ha…….”

I let out a short sigh and washed my face dry.

What should I do?

What should I say?

After much thought, I opened my mouth with difficulty.

“You’ve been on a pretty long trip. Are you okay, Eunhye?”

“……okay.”

“At first, she was really surprised. It seems like Eunhye only half believed what I said.”

“……I see.”

“…….”

“…….”

The silence felt like a thousand pounds of weight pressing down on my shoulders.

I had to change the mood somehow.

I licked my dry lips and looked straight at my mother.

“It’s unusually hot today.”

“……I guess so.”

“…….”

“…….”

Have I ever been this squeamish?

I looked at Yuha and my younger brother, pressing my forehead with my finger.

Both of them were shaking their heads as if they had heard my mother and I talking.

It was unfair.

Is this my fault?

No, that wasn’t the case. It was all because my mother only gave short answers.

So the conversation didn’t continue and just suddenly cut off.

If you had asked me a different question, I wouldn’t have said something stupid like talking about the weather.

“But who are you? What is your relationship with Gayoung? I think you know Eunhye too.”

Suddenly, the father asked Yuha.

By the way, this was the first time Yuha met her parents officially.

Although we had come to this world together several times, we had never met our parents in person.

Um… … How should I introduce myself?

A benefactor who helped me in the other world? A coworker? Or a boyfriend I’ve been seeing for over a year and a half?

I thought for a moment about how to introduce Yuha. I wanted to make a good impression if possible.

But in that brief moment, my younger brother threw a large bomb.

“He’s my sister’s boyfriend.”

“Me, my boyfriend?!”

“We were living together in the same house.”

“Are you, living together? You’re living together?”

My father muttered in a trembling voice.

I quickly made an excuse.

“No, don’t get me wrong. It’s not like we live together. It’s just… like home sharing. It’s not just me and Yuha. Their families are all living together.”

“Then, is the boyfriend also a misunderstanding of Eunhye?”

“Uh…… that is…….”

I glanced at Yuha.

My face felt slightly hot, as if it was flushed.

As if that was the answer, his father strode towards him with a stiff expression on his face.

“Hey, talk to me for a minute.”

“Yes, yes. Feel free to speak.”

Yuha answered, frozen in place, like a rookie hunter who had just gone out to hunt monsters for the first time.

Despite the creaky atmosphere, we rode a few rides.

Lily dance, where you spin around on a device that looks like a flower cup.

A flying rescue where you go up and down on a small boat-shaped device.

A festival train that moves slowly and lets you enjoy the scenery of Happy Land.

There were many rides I had never seen before.

As I walked around and looked around, most of it seemed unfamiliar.

It seemed like the rides had changed a lot in the time I hadn’t been there in a while.

Thanks to that, my determination to cover up my childhood memories with my memories with Yuha became meaningless.

“Hey, sis! Let’s ride that next time!”

For some reason, my brother’s expression would gradually darken as he rode each ride, but then he smiled brightly like Columbus discovering the New World and pointed to one side.

Rolling X-train.

It was a roller coaster I had ridden before.

“Do you remember? We used to ride together?”

“Yeah. I think so.”

As I nodded, Eunhye came over with an excited expression and grabbed my sleeve.

“Let’s go quickly.”

We couldn’t resist my brother’s request and stood in line. The line was quite long, probably because it was a popular ride.

“Next person, please come in. Please sit in order from the front as you enter.”

After about 30 minutes, it was finally our turn.

I ended up sitting in the front row with my mother thanks to Yuha and her younger brother’s scheme.

“Wow. It’s been a really long time.”

“Really? Was it fun?”

“Actually, I don’t remember very well because I was young.”

I could hear Yuha and her younger brother chatting from the back seat.

While listening to the two people’s conversation, the conductor stepped back from the train, saying that everyone had boarded and that the train would depart soon.

The train departed with a thud.

The train made a half-circle along the rails, changed direction, and then slowly moved toward the sky as if climbing a hill.

Honestly, it wasn’t that scary.

It would probably be the same even if the speed were faster than this.

I was quite scared when I was little, but I remember my younger sibling liking it so I forced myself to ride with him.

After becoming an Awakened, I experienced such fierce battles that I was indifferent at the moment.

I was confident that even if the safety device failed and I was thrown from the train, I would be safe.

Rattling. Rattling.

The train lurched slightly and turned downward.

Then, under the influence of gravity, it suddenly accelerated and ran downwards.

It was right after that.

With a small scream of ‘Ouch!’ my mother grabbed my sleeve.

What is this… What is this?

I looked at my mother with wide eyes.

My mother’s face turned pale, her hands trembled, and she held onto my sleeve as if it were a rope.

It seemed like he was so out of his mind that he didn’t even know what he was holding.

‘Come to think of it… … .’

Old memories came back to me.

My mother seemed to have a weakness for these types of rides.

Even when I was little, I used to watch from below without riding with my brother, and when my brother and I got off, I would greet him.

But why is that person riding the roller coaster today?

That monster is right next to me.

I stared at my mother’s face the whole time I was riding the roller coaster.

The sight of him turning pale and unable to even scream properly was so unfamiliar and foreign.

She didn’t always feel like a scary and strict mother… …she just felt like a normal person who was more fearful than I thought.

“Ugh…… Gyaaaaak!”

Then, when the train finally started to run while hanging upside down, the mother could not bear it any longer and screamed loudly.

I smiled, slightly raising the corners of my lips.

It was during that time.

An ominous ‘kwak’ sound was heard in my ears, which had become sensitive as I woke up.

And then, before I could do anything, the train stopped and went off the rails.

“Kkiyaaaaah?!”

“Ugh, euaaaah!”

“It’s falling!”

People screamed in terror.

Even if we crash like this, Yuha and I will be safe. But our families and others will not be.

It couldn’t be left like that.

I opened my mouth, emitting a strong burst of M-energy.

“Lalala—”

Choi Ga-hee has heard many times since she was young that she is pretty.

Everyone praised her. They even said that she could easily become an idol.

When I was in middle school, I became a trainee at a fairly famous entertainment company.

But there was a higher one.

Among the trainees, there were many monsters who were not only good at looks but also good at singing and dancing.

Still, there were few people as pretty as she was.

So I didn’t give up.

In the end, his hard work paid off and he succeeded in debuting.

But that was the end of it.

The group disbanded after less than a year.

I was unlucky.

If only I had been given a little more chance, things would have been different.

Choi Ga-hee hung around the entertainment industry with such foolish thoughts.

Then I met my husband, who was an assistant producer at a music show at the time.

After his persistent courtship, she decided to marry him.

At that time, I had given up on everything.

Because I’m too old to be an idol again.

However, the eldest daughter, Gayoung, showed talent in singing. It was as if heaven had given her another chance.

She looked like a fairy, had great talent for singing, and had the connections of a husband who was now a PD at a broadcasting station.

This kid is bound to succeed.

I thought so.

Fortunately, Gayoung grew up quickly, absorbing the techniques she taught like a sponge.

Then one day, suddenly, a bolt from the blue struck.

Gayoung became mentally ill and was unable to sing in front of people.

Why on earth does this happen?

How hard I’ve tried so far!

I tried to get Eunhye in a hurry, but she was no better than my older sister.

My broken heart turned into hatred. Whenever I saw Gayoung’s face, I thought of my own failures.

I couldn’t keep my composure in front of that kid.

It was foolish.

It was only after Gayoung suddenly went missing that I realized it.

That without that child, it feels like there’s a huge hole in the middle of my heart.

Everything felt so pointless.

Why did he come here and nag his children like that, thinking that he would enjoy some kind of wealth and honor?

Regret, like embers, gnawed at my heart.

It was not my intention to hurt Gayoung when she returned home after two years.

I just… I was just so surprised.

Since ancient times, creatures like frogs and snakes have been feared.

I wanted to catch Gayoung and apologize to her as she ran out of the house with a hurt face, but I was scared.

How can you apologize after hurting me so much?

Fortunately, from what I heard from Eunhye, it seemed like she was doing pretty well. So I thought it would be best to just leave it as is.

I didn’t think it was necessary to bring up painful memories to get closer.

Then, I heard a surprising story from Eunhye.

Gayoung sang in front of people.

I couldn’t believe it.

I wanted to check if it was true.

I had no more intention of pursuing my dream.

I just wanted to hear Gayoung’s singing voice after a long time. The song of that child that had been so long ago that even my memory had faded.

“Lalala—”

As I was thrown from the train that had gone off the rails and was floating in the air, a single line of song pierced my ears.

Choi Ga-hee stopped screaming and opened her eyes wide to look in the direction where the song was coming from.

“Lara—”

Gayoung, who had been thrown off the train like her, was singing with her eyes tightly shut.

Her long hair flowed in waves.

Before she knew it, she and the train that was plummeting toward the ground were suspended in midair as if caught by an invisible hand.

“Lala— la—”

The train slowly and quietly descended to the ground.

Gayoung was slowly coming down, humming beautifully against the backdrop of a sky dyed in sunset colors.

The mysterious figure looked like a wingless angel.
