Sarang and Heena were thrilled when I suggested going to the amusement park. They always welcomed such family outings.

Only Somang tilted his head in confusion, not knowing what an amusement park was.

For the next week, Sarang was especially excited, chattering daily about what we'd do and eat there. Heena and I indulged her enthusiasm with smiles.

In truth, neither of us had given it much thought. With Somang, we'd be limited in the rides we could go on anyway, and the ones suitable for most children usually had shorter queues.

We'd grab food while wandering around, so there wasn't much to prepare. In a way, it was shaping up to be a pretty relaxed family outing.

"Sure, why not?"

"Yeah!"

"Hmm... So you two will have matching hats? How nice~ Should I match with Somang then?"

"Matching hats?"

"Somang, you'll wear the same hat as Mom."

"Want same as Dad."

"Mom's feeling left out~"

"Let's, let's all wear the same one! The four of us matching!"

"Pfft... Alright, let's do that. Heena, do you think the hat we got before will still fit Somang?"

"It's adjustable, so it should be fine."

The only thing we needed to consider was fashion. Heena was still crazy about couple items and family matching outfits, and Sarang was the same.

Thanks to that, the two of them had countless discussions about how to show the world at a glance that we were a family.

I watched them with Somang as they rummaged through all our clothes, deep in thought.

I'd been under Heena's fashion control for ages, so I didn't need to think about my own style. I just wore whatever she gave me.

I used to feel bad about it and tried to learn on my own, but Heena enjoyed dressing me up to her taste. Honestly, she had good sense, so I eventually stopped trying to think for myself.

Above all, that's what Heena wanted. Now, I couldn't coordinate an outfit without her. These days, Sarang was starting to lend a hand too.

"Dad looks pretty in pink T-shirts. How about this light pink one?"

"You're right. Should we go with this theme then? What about you, Sarang?"

"I'll wear ivory!"

Thanks to all this, we spent all our energy on choosing outfits until the day of our trip. We had so many family T-shirts that we'd bought over time, filling up the master bedroom as we deliberated each day.

But me in pink... that's a bit... no, nevermind...

A week passed, and it was the day of our trip.

While we didn't have much to prepare besides clothes in that week, it was a bit tough turning down all my brothers who wanted to join us.

Other places might be fine, but at an amusement park, moving around in that crowded place with a large group would be exhausting.

And today, once again, Heena took the wheel, not letting me drive. I sat in the passenger seat, with the kids in the back.

The car we're in now is the used Carnival we bought when we became independent. Heena doesn't use it for her commute because of Seoul's terrible traffic, but we bought it thinking we'd use it for family outings like this.

"Make sure to fasten your seatbelts~ Sarang, keep an eye on Somang, okay?"

"Okay! I'll watch Somang carefully!"

"Somang, listen to your sister, alright?"

"Want to sit with Dad."

"It's dangerous in the car, sweetie~ Just be patient for a bit. Okay?"

"Okay..."

Heena, at the wheel, gently cautioned the children. Despite not having many chances to drive, she was an excellent driver.

It was a shame she wouldn't let me drive, but I quite enjoyed watching her profile from the passenger seat. Heena looked cool behind the wheel.

And so we headed to the amusement park. All four of us in matching outfits, wearing the same hats.

The amusement park, about an hour's drive away, was predictably crowded on this beautiful weekend. It took a while just to park the car.

Faced with the overflowing crowd, I immediately picked up Somang.

"Somang, hold onto Dad tight."

"Holding on."

"That's right. Sarang, don't let go of my hand either."

"Okay!"

Only after we pushed through the crowd, entered with our pre-booked all-day passes, and got inside did I feel like I could breathe.

And from that moment on, we were enveloped by the atmosphere of the amusement park, always full of childlike wonder no matter when you visit.

I've never been a fan of riding scary attractions at places like this. I'm afraid of heights too.

But still, amusement parks have a unique vibe that puts you in a good mood just by looking around.

As soon as we entered, we took a family photo and slowly explored our surroundings. Then Heena made a suggestion.

"Honey, why don't we start with the teacup ride? We can take a little break there."

"Sounds good. Doesn't look like there's a line right now either."

Since we'd been standing for a while to get in and there was no queue at the teacup ride, we headed straight there.

The teacup ride. With friends, it's a death trap of centrifugal force, but with family, it's the coziest ride in the world.

This seems like a perfect start to our day.

I put Somang down and helped him grab the circular handle in the center.

"Somang, you spin this to make it turn. Want to try?"

"Want to try."

"Sarang, help your brother a bit."

"Okay! I'll do it with Somang! Follow me, little bro~"

As the two spun the handle with their tiny hands, our teacup started to rotate slowly.

I kept one hand on Somang's back in case he fell, and wrapped my other arm around Heena's shoulder beside me.

"It's been a while since we've been to an amusement park, huh?"

"Yeah~ I'm so happy being here with you like this~"

Heena leaned against me with a warm smile, taking a breather. My career woman wife was approaching a promotion and getting busier by the day.

Because of that, she'd been looking tired a lot recently. She says all her fatigue disappears just by being next to me, but I'm not some game save point - her physical exhaustion can't just vanish like that.

Thinking about it, maybe she should've just rested at home. But Heena had been looking forward to today's outing too, so this relaxed break might actually help her recover more.

Though we decided on this amusement park trip on impulse after hearing from friends, it seems we came at a good time for various reasons.

"I'm dizzy."

"Somang, are you having a hard time?"

"It's fun."

"That's good. How about you, Sarang?"

"I'm fine! How is it now, Dad? Should I spin faster?"

"No, this is perfect. Just a bit more, please~"

"Okay!"

Heena and I sat comfortably, savoring the peaceful moment. Sarang and Somang enjoyed the ride, slowly turning the handle.

Yes, this is it.

Moving away from the kids playing rock-paper-scissors with deadly seriousness to sit on my lap, to all of us laughing together on a sunny day like this.

This is exactly what I've been wanting.

Of course, we'll go back to our usual routine once we're home, but for now, I'm going to enjoy this moment.

After resting on the teacup ride, we roamed all over the amusement park.

Originally, I'd planned to take it easy, but Somang was much more excited than we'd expected.

Well, even adults get excited at amusement parks, so it must be even more thrilling for kids. It's a dreamland for them.

Starting with the teacup ride, Somang was...

"Dad! There's a train! I want to ride it!"

"You want to ride the train? But can adults ride that one too...?"

"We rode it with Sarang before, remember~"

"Oh yeah, I remember! We went around the whole place on that, right?"

"Hurry!"

"Okay, okay. Let's go, Somang."

Seeing the mini train that circles the amusement park, his eyes lit up and he started pulling me along.

"Mom! Over there! Dad's over there!"

"Alright, Sarang! Charge at Dad!"

"Charge!"

"Wait, wait! Take it easy! Sarang! Heena!"

"Kyaa! We crashed! Sister went bam! like this!"

On the bumper cars, where we split into pairs, I screamed as Sarang body-slammed us.

"Woah... so high..."

"Somang's so brave~ Are you not scared?"

"Not scared."

"Really? Honey, are you and Sarang okay?"

"...Tell me when we're back on the ground?"

"Me... me too..."

Somang really enjoyed the balloon flight that goes around the park while attached to the ceiling.

Sarang and I were too scared to look down, so we just hugged each other tightly.

We conquered numerous rides with Somang and Sarang, including the merry-go-round, mini Viking ship, and Eureka. This was the best part about our family coming to a place like this.

Sarang took after me and couldn't handle scary rides well, and Heena was just happy as long as we were together.

With Somang here, we were only choosing kid-friendly rides, and these usually had almost no lines.

Thanks to that, we rode everything without waiting, even going on the fun ones twice, before finally having a very late lunch.

"The car went like this! It went up high! Then sister screamed!"

"Yes, yes~ Somang, you had fun, didn't you? But you need to eat too~ Say ah~"

"Ah~"

The three of us watched fondly as he chattered excitedly even while eating.

Our son is just too cute.
