Chapter 339 (1/2)

.

Beckoning the customers standing behind us with her hand, she asked, “Would you please decide what you want to watch and come back?”

‘Um, yes…’ Replying that way, I tried to step back, but that was when I heard some whispers around my ears. As soon I grasped their conversation, I blushed to the roots of my hair, wondering, ‘WHAT?’

“Geez, that couple is causing a lot of trouble.”

“If they feel happy no matter what they see, why don’t they just go to a café and watch each other’s faces? Why does it have to be the movies, gosh?!”

Couple… A COUPLE??!!!

Besides, we would feel happy no matter what we were gonna see? No, you were getting it wrong! We were just two people who had some problems with decision making…

Blushing in embarrassment, I quickly snatched Yeo Dan oppa’s arm and got out of the queue. This reaction would, of course, make us look more like a couple; however, getting away from this place was the number one priority for now. As if he didn’t hear the whispers about us, Yeo Dan oppa just followed me quietly.

The girls, who were standing behind us, with school uniforms on, tried to scowl at us, but once they saw Yeo Dan oppa’s face, they froze on the spot. They soon whispered again, “Isn’t that person… from Nam Gye High School…?”

“Holy cow! Oh, my god! I saw him in the photos but never in real life.”

‘Anyway, Yeo Dan seems to be a famous figure in this neighborhood, for real,’ thinking that way, I barely pulled him to the corner of the movies and heaved a deep sigh. Hand fanning my nape to cool myself down, I uttered, “Yeo Dan oppa, let’s just choose ASAP. I really don’t mind watching anything.” After a moment of hesitation, I continued, “We became a couple who were causing a lot of trouble. That’s why they had whispered at us.”

Even though I was telling him what others had said, I couldn’t stop blushing.

“Oh…”

I brought those words to finalize our decision as soon as possible, but Yeo Dan oppa was unresponsive while just rubbing his lips.

‘I mean, don’t you really care even when others treat us as a couple right now?’ Having that thought in mind, I blushed again. ‘Gosh, you’ve been making my heart sink since we were in the alley!’

Thankfully, Yeo Dan oppa, who was lost in thought for a second, soon chose a movie. Since he picked a late, monster adventure film, I was sure that he remembered and reflected my taste on his choice, but anyway, he made a decision, at last, so I reserved our tickets immediately.

We still had some time left until the screening, so we tried to hit the arcade beside the movies, then…

“URGH, oppa!!! I don’t want to play any games all of a sudden. Let’s just go.”

… I decided not to, once I found someone familiar in that direction. Yelling that way, I pulled Yeo Dan oppa’s arm. Thank god, he didn’t look that interested in playing games in the arcade. ‘Really? Okay, then,” with that nonchalant response, he turned around to return to the movies.

‘Whoa, I was so surprised!’ Sweeping down my pounding chest, I glanced at the arcade and wondered, ‘Why are they here!’

The boy, who was taking up the two DDR machines and showing his fancy moves, attracted too much attention to avert my eyes from him.

‘Yoon Jung In, we never encountered each other in the streets until now! Why on earth are you suddenly here? Why does it have to be today, right now, at this place?!’ Shouting those words only to myself, I touched the ribbon around my blouse.

If he got to catch me wearing this outfit and with a guy in the movies, he would definitely call me tomorrow and ask a lot of questions. Besides, he seemed to be here with Shin Suh Hyun and also a few other boys in Class 1-8.

‘Please… please don’t let me run into anyone I know today!’ Looking for all the gods in the world, I uttered a desperate prayer, which I didn’t make even when I had an exam. As if it worked, thankfully, none of them came to this side until the movie began. When it was time to go inside, I pulled Yeo Dan oppa to enter the space and quickly walked down to our reserved seats.

There were some ads and previews before the actual screening. During that short break, we chatted about the poster we brought just now. Pointing at the people running away from the beast, I asked, “Are these people all gonna die?”

Looking down in that direction, Yeo Dan oppa replied nonchalantly, “Looking at their faces, I think they will.”
