I lay on the bed and continued chatting with Ha Yu-jin on KakaoTalk.

[Want to go out and play?]

[Wow, wow]

[How about studying?]

[Isn’t it good to cool your head sometimes? Even machines get overloaded if you use them for too long. How much more so for me as a human?]

Anyway, I just wanted to go out and play, so I just wanted to say hello.

It made me wish that she would express her feelings to me honestly like this.

Well, I guess it wouldn’t be ok to play for a day or so.

I’ve been working really hard lately.

[Where do you want to go?]

[Let’s just watch a movie and eat something nearby!]

[Then let’s do that. Should we meet at the same time as usual?]

[Yeah, that sounds good!]

Ha Yu-jin’s joy seemed to be transmitted beyond the chat window.

By the way.

‘It’s been a really long time.’

Because I’ve been so focused on studying lately, it’s been a really long time since I went on a date with Ha Yu-jin.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited.

Even though we see each other every day, dating is a separate matter.

[I’m going to sleep now.]

[Yeah, I should go to sleep now too. Good night.]

[Yeah, you too, good night.]

After that chat, I put my phone down and closed my eyes.

I’m looking forward to seeing what Ha Yu-jin will wear tomorrow.

If you come out wearing sexy clothes to seduce me, it’s going to be a big problem.

The movie theater is dark so I don’t think I can film.

Then suddenly a notification sound came from my phone.

I wondered what was going on so I checked and found that I had received a KakaoTalk message from Ha Yu-jin.

As I opened the chat window with Ha Yu-jin, the animal on the screen kept sending me hearts.

[AAAH MISTAKE!]

[What a mistake.]

[I pressed the wrong button!! Seriously, what a mistake.]

[Okay. I’ll sleep.]

Could it really have been a mistake?

I think he sent it on purpose to see what kind of reaction he had.

I really wonder how he only picks out the cute things he does.

If we meet tomorrow, I should give you a separate award.

I closed my eyes with a smile on my lips.

The next morning, I woke up naturally to the sound of my alarm.

I would love to just lie in bed and laze around, but unfortunately I don’t have time for that today.

Because it’s the day I have a date with Ha Yu-jin.

I also had a lot to prepare for.

First, I woke up, got out of bed, took a shower, and came out.

‘What should I wear?’

While I was looking through the closet, something suddenly caught my eye.

Last time we went shopping together, Ha Yu-jin chose these clothes for me.

I took out the clothes without any hesitation.

After I got all dressed, I started to style my hair.

Just because he had a handsome face, he couldn’t neglect his hair.

Of course, if Ha Yu-jin wakes up in the morning and comes out to greet me all groggy, that would be lovely in its own way.

Right now, we’re just in the process of getting to know each other.

And just the fact that the other person decorated it for me gave me some extra points.

That’s when I finished getting ready to go out, with my hair styled like that.

Just then the doorbell rang.

‘There isn’t enough time…?’

I looked at my watch; there was still an hour left until our appointment.

I was planning on leaving about 30 minutes early, but I never thought I’d arrive an hour early.

Is that how much I missed you?

Well, it was a good thing because I wanted to see it too.

I went straight to the front door and opened it.

“Why are you here so early?”

“Ah, I just got ready early… .”

Ha Yu-jin met my eyes and lowered her head, extending her tail.

It seemed like he liked this look.

I think it would be nice if you complimented me sometimes.

So, we decided to do it instead.

“Eugene, you look pretty today.”

“Uh, huh? Th, th, huh… Thank you… .”

Ha Yu-jin’s face turned red as if it was about to explode at any moment.

He also wiggled his fingers shyly, which was quite cute.

“Just come inside and I’ll pack my bags and come out.”

“No, I’ll just wait here for a moment.”

“Then I’ll get it ready right away. Just wait a minute.”

I left Ha Yu-jin behind, who nodded, and quickly packed my bags into my room.

Even so, all I have is a cell phone and a wallet.

As soon as I came out, Ha Yu-jin was looking at the mirror in the hallway and fixing her hair.

Looking at him looking around intently, he seemed quite nervous.

In my eyes, everything I do looks pretty.

Still, seeing him care so much made me feel grateful because it made me feel like he was thinking of me a little more.

“Eugene, let’s go now.”

“Okay, let’s go.”

I went out onto the street with Ha Yu-jin.

The precarious distance between our shoulders, almost touching, brought a strange thrill.

Ha Yu-jin also seemed to be secretly concerned about that, as she kept glancing at me.

That was when.

Because of the couple walking side by side from the opposite direction, Ha Yu-jin came a little closer to me.

As a result, their shoulders touched and their fingertips brushed.

“Huh?!”

Ha Yu-jin was startled and pulled her hand up to her chest.

And then he blinked his big eyes and looked at me blankly.

It seemed as if he was surprised by his own actions.

What on earth is this cute creature…?

While I was thinking like that, Ha Yu-jin said.

“Ah, ah, no!”

“What is it? I didn’t say anything.”

“No way!”

“Really? Am I right?”

“Huh… ?”

Ha Yu-jin tilted her head as if she didn’t understand English.

I reached out and grabbed her hand.

It was a smaller and warmer hand than I had expected.

“What, what’s wrong with this?”

“That, uh, yeah… ?”

Ha Yu-jin’s eyes shook violently as if an earthquake had occurred.

The sudden attack must have caused a brain malfunction.

But my heart was beating a little faster than usual.

Because you can’t be at peace when holding hands with someone you like.

It’s just that I didn’t show it on the outside.

I let go of his hand, laughing playfully.

“Just kidding, just kidding. Why are you so frozen?”

“What, what are you talking about! Who said it was frozen?!”

“Okay, I understand. Let’s go now.”

We didn’t say a word until we got to the cinema.

They just wiggled their fingers.

The strangely thrilling, bittersweet sense of distance still remained.

Finally, we arrived at the movie theater and stood there looking at the showtime.

“Eugene, what do you want to watch?”

“Hmm-, what would be the most fun?”

“This is the fastest one to start.”

I pointed to the pamphlet of horror movies with my finger.

The cover looks horrifying, so the content will be quite scary.

‘I guess I’ll have to do this.’

When it comes to horror movies, good events often happen.

I already laugh when I think about a terrified Ha Yu-jin clinging to me.

But Ha Yu-jin didn’t come over easily.

“I hate horror movies.”

“Why? Because you’re scared?”

“That’s not it… ?”

“Shock?”

“Miss… Yes, look at this, look at this!”

In the end, Ha Yu-jin fell into my trap in a beautiful way.

Anyway, I like it because it’s simple.

But who knew?

The truth is that Ha Yu-jin set a trap.

At least I didn’t know.

“I see you want to see it this time, so I see you want to see it next time.”

Ha Yu-jin turned her head, pouting.

The ears sticking out from between the hair were dyed red.

For a moment, it felt like I had been hit in the head with a hammer.

I never expected Ha Yu-jin to come out like this.

Still, what… .

Rather, it was good.

“Okay, let’s come again next time.”

“You never said that, did you?!”

“Then you’re not going to the movie theater and are going to watch it at home?”

“What, what are you talking about… . Do whatever you want with it… .”

Oh, this is driving me crazy.

The corners of my mouth keep going up and I don’t think about lowering them.

Eventually, we were able to buy the tickets only after our emotions had calmed down a bit.

The seats were, of course, couple seats.

It was a shame that the location was a bit uncomfortable to watch the movie in, but it was enough if I could stay with Ha Yu-jin.

“Lee Seo-ha, what does popcorn taste like?”

“I just go with the original.”

“Tsk, eat the caramel.”

“Then why did you ask?”

“My heart is like this-.”

Ha Yu-jin played a strange prank on me, perhaps to get revenge for choosing a horror movie.

Rather, I found that aspect cute.

Although I don’t really know.

Before heading to the theater, Ha Yu-jin suddenly handed me a container of popcorn.

“I’m going to the bathroom for a minute.”

“Okay, take your time.”

Ha Yu-jin headed to the bathroom, and I sat on a nearby bench and waited for her.

Since I had nothing else to do, I reached for the popcorn.

Caramel is pretty good too, right?

I should steal it from Hayujin later.

That’s when I was slowly eating popcorn.

“Excuse me… .”

Someone spoke to me from next to me.

When I turned my head, a woman I had never seen before was standing there awkwardly.

“Me…?”

“Oh, yes.”

“What’s going on?”

“That’s… If it’s okay, could you give me your number…?”

For a moment I doubted my ears.

I knew that my face was half and half, but I didn’t expect that he would ask for my number.

That was when.

“Lee Seo-ha, what are you doing…?”

Ha Yu-jin, who had gone to the bathroom, came back.

With a rather cold smile.
