Game Market 1983

EP. 17: To Korea.. (1)

&

La Bamba was a film that illuminated the life of an existing figure, Rich Valens, a young film depicting the short life of the Emperor of Rock & Roll and his music hidden in an accidental accident.

The story of the film is successful in Hollywood as the protagonist, an American immigrant village with a natural talent for music, raises the dreams of a singer.

Rich fell in love with his rich daughter Danna, who also risked her father's opposition and raised her love, announcing La Bamba and Donna to the pinnacle of Rock 'n' Roll, but was on a plane that crashed during the last bad weather and unfortunately ended up dying.

Donna

Oh Donna, oh Donna, oh Donna oh Donna

Oh, Dana. Oh, Dana. Oh, Dana.

I had a girl.

I had a girlfriend.

Donna was her name.

(Her name is Dana.)

Since you left me. I've never been the same

(I haven't been the same since you left.)

'Cause I love my girl

Because I love her.

The song that the male protagonist played in the movie to his girlfriend Danna at the pay phone booth shot the tastes of all women, no exception to Yuki.

“Oh, Dana! Oh, Dana! Oh, Dana! Isn't Rich Valence just so cool? It was a sad ending, but it was so much fun. ”

Yuki murmured as he left the cinema.

To be honest, I liked the We Belong Togeter better, but it was only my mouth. In fact, all the music from La Bamba was so good that it didn't have to waste a single song.

But I can't believe I'm gonna see this movie in the theater just in time for release. That alone was new to me. It was a day where I felt the aroma of 1988 that I had forgotten for a while about my busy daily life.

Besides, seeing La Bamba gave me a new idea.

Well, the breakup of the male protagonist's death in a romantic simulation wouldn't be such a bad choice. ’

Leaving someone you love behind is a great sad-end for men and women.

“What do you think? ”

“Huh? Oh, I was thinking about a new love simulation story. ”

“Really, you should take some time off to think about your body. How come you've been thinking about games all day? ”

“Well, what... occupational hazard? It should be one. ”

“Well, should I think about it with you? ”

“What?"

“A new game story. I know a very good screenwriter. Can I introduce you? ”

“The screenwriter? ”

“Yes, he's a drama writer. ”

Well, she's an assistant writer for broadcasting, so you know people from your lineage.

But sometimes you don't see any dramas with a very interesting story on TV.

Korean drama is much better. Or maybe it's not so bad for a bunch of lame-ass gamers to follow the story of the White Memory called White Drug.

Wait, Korean drama?

At that moment, I remembered a drama title that I had seen that was really fun before time slipping in my mind.

Yeah, I think that's a great story.

“Excuse me? Are you really just gonna leave me here and think about something else?" ”

“I'm sorry.”

“Hm, I've been so nervous about dating for so long.”

“Love you."

“What? If you say something like that all of a sudden...”

Yuki turns her head, blushing.

I think I just confessed in a really weird way, not a confession.

The next day.

I went back to Shinjuku Station to return to Kyoto. I looked back at Yuki, who was sniffing from earlier. When she always returned to Kyoto, she showed her way to the station with a look on her face.

“When will you come next? ”

“I don't know. I have somewhere to be next weekend. ”

“So we'll all see each other next week? Where are you going next weekend? ”

“I'm going to Korea for a while. ”

“Are you in Korea?"

“I'll leave on Friday and be back around Sunday. ”

“Hmm, what time is the flight? ”

“A 2 p.m. flight from Osaka. Well, Korea's close, so we should be there in about an hour. ”

“I've never been out of the country before, but I envy you. ”

I was really jealous when I went to America last month... but when I got the photo I took of her, I remembered her face that I loved. There was still time until the train, so we decided to drink tea at a nearby coffee shop.

The whole time I was coming to the coffee shop, she looked straight at me as if she had made up her mind.

“I'm coming with you. ”

“Hm? In Kyoto? What about work tomorrow? ”

“No!! It's Korea!!"

“What!? ”

“I'm going to hang up my plane ticket in Narita. See you in Korea!! ”

“No, you know...”

“I really want to go to Korea where Joon-Hyuk was born. I'm not gonna ask you to pay for the trip. Come with me, okay? ”

In fact, this trip to Korea was an office, but I was trying to visit a neighborhood where I lived as a child. That's why even if you follow me, you're not going to hang out.I don't think it'll be fun...

However, the way she looked at it, I didn't think it would be easy for her to dry up like this.

“I'm not going to hang out. Are you okay? ”

“Yes, I'm fine. ”

“I'm actually meeting someone in my childhood neighborhood. You can't go to places like tourist attractions. ”

“Joon-Hyuk used to live here? Rather, I prefer it!! ”

... but smiles were drawn without me knowing that it was better. You think that's her at all?

I stared at her silently, making eye contact for a moment, then opened my mouth.

“Yes. Come with me. ”

&

A week after that.

I switched my plane ticket to Narita Airport and arrived at the airport with Yuki.

“Oh, I'm so nervous. You've been hearing a lot of heartbeat. ”

“It's nothing. We'll be there in about an hour. You don't have to be so nervous. ”

“I've been shaking since last night. It's been a long time since I went to school for a picnic. This feeling...”

“Just in case, do you want some hangover medicine? ”

“I already drank. ”

“You're all set.”

Yuki said, I stroked her head with a bleeding smile. Sometimes she looked up at me and stroked me a few times because she was cute, but at that time Yuki liked me like a puppy with her eyes closed.

After a while, after a simple shopping at a duty-free shop, the time of the flight arrived.

“Shouldn't we be going soon? We're running out of time!? ”

“It's okay. It's a small plane anyway, so it takes a while for everyone to get on it, so we can catch it later. ”

“But I can't wait to get on. ”

Yuki urged me by dragging my arm to see how excited she was for her first trip abroad.

Eventually, we arrived at the boarding gate earlier than usual and got on the plane first as soon as the ride was released.

As we approached the boarding entrance of the airplane through the mobile corridor, the Korean stewardesses welcomed us around and smiled beautifully.

“Wow... Korean beauty!! ”

Although he was somewhat short, Yuki's appearance was also not compared to those of them. But Yuki muttered, looking at them and seeing whether she was jealous of their tall stature.

“You must have had a lot of milk when you were a kid.”

“Welcome, sir. Let us help you find a place to stay. ”

As she shows the ticket to the stewardess who smiles at us, she bends down and points to the stairs upstairs.

“Business class customers can go upstairs. ”

“Thank you."

I had to get on the Economy because of the short flight time, but I also chose Yuki's share as a business class because it was money to spend anyway.

Suddenly, Yuki's voice followed behind him, and she suddenly took off her shoes, and she turned around and asked the stewardess.

“Can I just take my shoes with me? ”

“ ……. ”

Did you really believe that joke back in Kyoto?

Suddenly, the nearby stewardesses turn their heads.

“Oh, you can just wear the guest shoes. ”

“Yes!? ”

Yuki, who was blushing at Stupidus' words, went up the Hidden Staircase with his shoes in his hand.

“Oh, she's so cute!”
