Title: Indulgence with a Wireless Connection - Chapter 245 Chapter 245: "Doesn't a Man Get Aroused Just Holding Hands with a Pretty Girl?" Short yet striking denim shorts, a casual T-shirt, a thin outer layer, and a cap. Finally, a small handbag slung over one shoulder completed the eye-catching fashion ensemble. The new, spotless shoes sparkled, stealing the gaze of anyone nearby. As he quickly scanned her look, Han Hee-jin spoke again. "Don't you have a station near your place? I didn't expect to see you here." "Yeah, there's one, but riding from here is a direct line without any transfers. I didn't feel like the hassle of multiple stops." "True, makes sense. At least you won't be late for our appointment." Hee-jin nodded in agreement, then appraised him with the same up-and-down look he had given her earlier. Eyes wide with admiration, she remarked in a lively voice. "Wow... You cleaned up nicely today, huh? Quite the difference from what I see at the convenience store." "Well, you did kick up a fuss all day for me to dress well." "So if I hadn't, you'd have shown up looking shabby as ever?" "Why are you always so contrary... Anyway, this should meet your standards, right?" "Okay, okay, I admit it. You did well." In truth, it was the same outfit he wore on a date with Chae-a yesterday, but a little upkeep meant she suspected nothing. As he basked in her satisfied expression, Hee-jin positioned herself in front of him. Her freshly washed golden hair emitted a delightful fragrance as it gently swayed. He idly played with the ends, finding them soft and split-free from thorough brushing. "What do you think? Aren't my hair pretty? You can hardly keep your hands off them, right?" "I'm just touching it from lack of anything better to do." "Tsk, would it kill you to give a compliment?" He noticed the crinkle on her brow reflected in the subway screen door. Perhaps displeased, she tapped her toes and folded her arms. If it were someone else, he might have thrown out a compliment, but something about Hee-jin made him resist. To be fair, she often grew too full of herself too quickly, so he preferred keeping her grounded. The occasional carrot worked better with her, though sparingly. She probably harbored some subconscious enjoyment for it, being the masochist she is. Or not. "So, what's at this station that you wanted to meet there?" "You'll see soon enough. I know a brilliant spot." No point in asking further since she wouldn't divulge. They were headed for their third date, but Hee-jin's demeanor was anything but predictable—a child on a field trip, almost. Her whole body radiated excitement. Well, whatever it was, he expected it to be fun and decided to follow along quietly. Soon, they hopped on the arriving subway as its announcement played, and vanished into the city maze. Once seated, Hee-jin started chattering. "Oh, right, my sister stayed out overnight for the first time yesterday. She just contacted me about getting home." "Stayed out?" "Yeah. Said she was meeting university friends, but since she drove and then drank, decided to crash there." Everything except the 'university friends' part was true. If you consider college-age friends, then it's accurate. "For the manager to stay out, she must be close to them." "I guess. She did mention drinking." "I hope it's not with some guy." Venturing a question, he gauged her reaction, but Hee-jin snorted dismissively. "As if. I've been around her all day, every day for months, and there's no sign of a guy." "Really? If I were the manager, I'd be charming guys left and right." "Huh, typical of someone dating two girlfriends at once." "Just saying, she's got the looks, the body, the money. Living so diligently is impressive." "She'll probably start dating when she meets someone who clicks." Relieved she made it home safely, they spent another ten minutes on the shaking train to reach their destination. "And here we are. Exit 3." He followed Hee-jin, who was back in her gleeful child mode, bouncing with eagerness. What kind of bait lay ahead to draw such excitement? He quickened his pace, trailing behind her. And the location defied all expectations. "Are we in the right place?" "Absolutely, we're spot-on." An amusement park. The ticket booth advertised the name OO Land in large print. He chuckled, glancing at the sky as roller coasters soared and giant disks plummeted to the ground, punctuated by sharp screams piercing the air. Noticing his incredulity, Hee-jin pulled her wallet from her handbag. "Don't worry, I'm covering the tickets since I dragged you here." "Well, today... Never mind. Sure, let's go." Despite the unexpected situation, it wasn't unwelcome. She clearly had her own reasons, unknow as they were. Though it was Monday, the summer break meant a fair number of visitors. Still, the lines were much shorter compared to the weekends, with wait times usually under ten minutes. Wandering aimlessly, Hee-jin tugged on his sleeve. "Hey, can you handle scary rides?" "I can ride anything here." "Great! Let's start with that one." She pointed at the swinging Viking ship with her fingertip. Easy peasy. "Alright. But is there any ride you can't handle?" "Not at all, of course." "Hope that's not just bravado." "You too." They lined up quickly. While the ride split them from the current group, they positioned themselves to be first for the next run, securing the far back center seats. Strapped in, he stole a glance to find Hee-jin beaming with excitement. Never seen her smile that brightly before. "Let's see if you'll scream." "Do as you please." Holding back the last part of his thought, he braced himself as the ride powered up. A vibrating hum... click. As the ride's long announcement came to an end, the vibrations began. The structure swayed as it lifted into the air, and soon they reached the peak. At the pinnacle, just as the screams from the crowd grew louder, Han Hee-jin threw her arms up in triumph. Can't lose this. "Ahhhhhhh!!!!" His bangs flew back, and the fierce wind swept through. In a flash, they descended to the ground, only to rise again on the opposite side. In the brief pause at the top, Hee-jin shouted over to him. "Oppa! Are you scared?!" "You're the one who's scared!" They locked eyes for a moment before plunging down again. After several rounds of this, they finally stepped back onto solid ground. "Wow... That was fun, right, Oppa?" "It's been a while. It was fun." "Your face was something up there! Didn't lose it, did you?" "That's what I should be asking you." As they tidied their hair, they made their way outside. Once they were outside, Hee-jin immediately pointed at the gyroscope. Seeing the anticipation on her face, he couldn't bring himself to refuse. He steered towards the ride, a smile creeping across his face. Seeing that, a thought struck him. 'Is she just here because she wants to hang out with me?' He recalled something he once heard from Chae-a. Apparently, Hee-jin, with her exotic looks, had some serious defense mechanisms. She went straight to working in a convenience store instead of college and, from what he'd observed, seemed to lack friends. Coming out like this probably wasn't something she'd done before. Which meant he might be the only one she felt relaxed enough to speak casually with. 'Suddenly she seems kind of endearing.' It felt like a day at the amusement park with a younger cousin. They both knew their real objective for later, but for now, they decided to enjoy the moment. With a softer expression, he stood beside her. "No need to rush. We've got plenty of time to try everything." "...What's with that smug look all of a sudden?" "This is the face of an adult playing with a child." "Child? We're not even that far apart in age." Hee-jin waved dismissively, though a mischievous smile creeped onto her face as she pressed closer to him. "Oppa... Should we hold hands while we walk?" "Why? Afraid you'll get lost?" "You and your nonsense. It's all part of the strategy." "What strategy? The 'don't get lost' strategy?" She clucked her tongue, extending an index finger as if unveiling a grand plan. "Listen. They say a man gets all excited just holding hands with a pretty girl, right? If I keep you on edge all day, then by the evening, I might have the upper hand!" "Wow... Brilliant! Shouldn't you publish a paper on this hypothesis?" He shouldn't have expected much in the first place. She had probably picked up some odd idea from somewhere. Seeing his underwhelmed reaction, Hee-jin seemed flustered and attempted to explain further. "I mean..." "It's fine. Here." He reached out first. This affection-starved individual had used the bet as an excuse to lure him into a date. Suspicious of his sudden change in demeanor, Hee-jin was hesitant to take his hand, trying to discern his true intent. "What, don't you want to play?" "No, let's go." The warmth of her hand intertwined with his. Her hand was much smaller and softer than his. Despite being the one to suggest holding hands, she trembled slightly. "Weren't you the one who said I'd get all worked up from just holding hands?" "Y-yeah, that's right." "Be careful not to let something else *accidentally* get wet today." With a gentle tug on her shivering frame, they ventured deeper into the heart of the amusement park. --- As they wandered around holding hands like a couple, Hee-jin initially felt awkward, but quickly tightened her grip and embraced the atmosphere. Except, she frequently pulled her hand away to wipe the sweat off onto her clothes. "It's your first time holding a guy's hand, isn't it? You seem quite nervous." "Nervous? No way. It's just hot." She brushed off his remark, wiping her slightly flushed forehead. Maybe it was embarrassment, as she exaggerated her movements to cover it up. Her eyes dared a brief glance down towards his pants, but he remained completely unaroused. With a sigh, she interlaced their fingers more tightly before moving on to the next ride. After enjoying a few more attractions, they filled their stomachs at a nearby eatery. Since they didn't want to end up hurling whatever they'd eaten, they opted for a light meal. "How about we ride something simple while we digest?" "Oppa, these are the moments for thrill rides!" "You say that, but you'll know if you end up puking. I'll pretend I don't know you and run off." "....Seriously?" "Then don't throw up." Imagining the worst-case scenario, Hee-jin took a step back. She tore her gaze from the roller coaster she had been eyeing, starting to search for alternatives. "What about that one? It seems just right." A small flume ride, splashing water as it went. It was a 2-person attraction, perfect for some digestive downtime, and perhaps cooling under the sunny weather. They queued up immediately and donned the raincoats handed out by the attendants as their turn approached. He assisted her with the raincoat before they settled into their seats. "Is this your first time on something like this? You seem a bit awkward." "...Am I not allowed to be? Why do you sound like you come here all the time?" "Even if not often, most middle or high schoolers visit a couple of times." "I didn't… found it too much hassle." Hee-jin huffed, turning her head. His attempt to probe about this was likely a misstep, touching the wrong nerve. Suppressing further questions, he patted her back gently. "It's no shame not to have friends." "Yes, yes. Coming from someone with two girlfriends, that's really reassuring." "Even sincere encouragement is met with grumbling, huh?" "It's even more annoying hearing it from a two-timer like you. Just stay quiet." So, she really doesn't have many friends. That explained her excitement about planning the day and visiting the amusement park. While it was natural for anyone to be thrilled here, she seemed to have the enthusiasm of a puppy seeing the world for the first time. Kugung... As he gazed at her pale nape, the ride jostled and began its ascent. Water splashed through the cracks, trickling down slowly inside. "Keep your clothes on tight to avoid getting wet." "Don't worry." Reaching the top, a long slide unfolded before their eyes. As they sped down, water cascaded across the window. "Aaahhh!" A storm of water enveloped them. Despite the raincoats, they couldn't avoid getting drenched through the seams. "…We got soaked." "Your bangs are a mess." "So are yours." Laughing at each other's appearances, the ride shifted angles again. Ssshhhh... Another wave of water hit them, rendering the raincoats meaningless. Cold liquid drenched their clothes, leaving no time to check the damage as another wave followed swiftly. Finally, they exited, looking like soaked mice. "I'm drenched…" "Your clothes are see-through. You should put on an outer layer." "Ugh… I hate wearing wet clothes." "We don't have much choice. Let's find a place to dry off." Natural drying was out of the question. Even asking a staff member, they confirmed there were no laundry facilities inside the park. Not having spare clothes meant they couldn't change either. "There's no way we can keep wandering around like this. We should go outside." "No help for it… Let's go." Han Hee-jin's enthusiasm visibly dampened. She probably had more rides she wanted to try. "Don't be too down. Like you said, there are perks to getting soaked." "This is really the time for jokes?" Her lips twitched into a faint smile. It seemed effective, so he continued. "You can come back anytime. And today's not over yet; there's still the main event." "True..." "Let's find somewhere to fix this first." They reluctantly left behind their unused all-access tickets and stepped outside. Numerous signs with names like XX Motel, OO Motel, and MM Motel caught their eye. He pointed to one, and, understanding his intention, she blushed slightly. "Want to rest there?" "...Yeah." Being a Monday, plenty of rooms were available. The best part was that each floor had a small washer and dryer—probably a smart move for the motel with guests like them. "Let's take turns drying our clothes. If we do it together, we might end up searching naked." "You dry yours first." "You go first. Aren't you cold?" When he touched her goosebump-laden arm, Hee-jin shivered and sneezed. "Achoo!" "You'll catch a cold. I'll take care of the laundry while you get into dry clothes." "Okay..." They entered the rented room. Compared to the 5-star hotel from the previous day, it was basic but had everything they needed. Particularly a bed—and then some more beds. "Oppa, they have bathrobes here. Why don't we wash everything together? It's right outside, and it'll be less hassle." "Good idea." They quickly stripped down to their briefs and tossed everything into the laundry basket. After starting the laundry, he returned to find Hee-jin peeking out from the bathroom. "Let's shower together." "Why the sudden invite?" "...I might catch a cold first, and you would, too." Though he'd briefly seen her naked while undressing, showering together was another story. Granted, they would be completely exposed during their third bet, but he didn't expect her to suggest this first. He shrugged off his robe and followed her lead. Her silhouette was striking, especially the protruding peaks of her chest. As he approached, she handed him the showerhead. "Could you wash my hair for me?" "...Alright." Though it was an unusual request, he agreed, recalling her earlier mix of gloomy and happy expressions that flashed alternatively. Her joyful smile was truly beautiful; he'd love to see it again. Moving behind her, he gently directed the warm water over her hair. Though normally tied up, when released it almost reached her waist, brushing her lower back. "Didn't realize it was this long." "What is?" "Your hair." "That's why it's hard to wash alone." "But it looks nice and shiny." "Uh…" She attempted to turn her head but quickly recoiled from the shower spray in her eyes, returning her gaze forward. "What did you just say?" "I said your hair is beautiful. Long, shiny blonde looks great." "...Why are you buttering me up all of a sudden? You think that'll make me happy?" Her lips tugged up to her ears already gave away her true feelings. Of course, she'd be happy. For the first time, this usually proud and self-assured Han Hee-jin seemed utterly endearing. Did it mean she was really comfortable around him? Finishing with the water, he grabbed some shampoo, applying four times his usual amount. Lathering gently, he let bubbles form as he gave her a scalp massage. Her hair softened under his touch. "Hmm... you're pretty good at this." "Keep your eyes closed. Don’t want the soap getting in." Such an oddly playful moment with Hee-jin—it was strange but enjoyable. By the time her blonde hair turned white with lather, he rinsed her clean again with the showerhead. "Thanks. That was faster with your help." "Once you’re done, it's my turn. I'm freezing." "Don’t sulk." Hee-jin chuckled and picked up the shampoo bottle, filling half her small palm, glancing up at him. "Your turn. Bend over a bit, and I’ll wash yours." As he followed her instructions, her soft palms began to explore his scalp, navigating between strands with awkward yet thorough care. Peeking through partially opened eyes, he caught sight of her swaying chest and neatly wet pubic hair. Soon, he'd be able to touch her there. The previously dormant desire throughout lunch stirred awake. Blood rushed, his arousal undeniable. Judging by her brief, reactive flinch, it was clear she'd noticed. Ssshhhh... The water pressure increased, sweeping over his head. When the towel landed, he straightened up as it absorbed the remaining moisture. "...." Hee-jin's gaze was intense, locked onto him. A teasing smile played on his lips, and she, as if entranced, reached down. "Oppa, did my body do this to you?" "It did." "Since you'll be touching it later anyway... I'll help clean here too." Her eyes asked for confirmation, and before he could respond, she'd already applied body wash to her palms. Despite having both pleasured him with her hands and mouth before, her trembling hands betrayed her nerves. Her fingers timidly traveled from the base to the tip, sending tremors up his legs. It was only polite to return the favor. Applying some body wash to his hands, he cupped her breasts. "Heong... Ugh... I'm washing you, so why are you..." "What can I say, with your nipples all perked up like this?" She subtly leaned forward, offering herself for more. His touch grew firmer, grazing her nipples, coaxing moans from her lips. "Hnng... Haaa..." Drawn by her increasingly sweet sounds, one hand glided downward. With her tending to him, it seemed only fair to reciprocate between her legs. As he ventured lower, brushing through her pubic hair, her thighs instinctively parted. An unspoken invitation to explore more. For the very first time, in real life, he reached deeper into those intimate folds.
