When I received dating advice from Jina’s friend, Goo Ye-seul, there was one part that I emphasized the most.

‘The movie is definitely a melodrama! Everything else is out!’

However, the movie Yoo Seong had pre-ordered, Save the Earth 3, was a genre far from melodrama.

Although there is a female protagonist, her role is mainly to make jokes with the male protagonist, and it is difficult to see her as a heroine.

However, I hesitated because I thought it would be too sorry for Yoosung to throw away the movie he had pre-ordered for her.

“What’s wrong?”

“Uh, so…”

Yoosung looked at Jin-ah with a puzzled look, who was struggling without knowing what to do.

‘Listen, dating is war! If you make a mistake once, there will be no next time!’

I remembered Yeseul’s voice pleading with me.

As Yoosung said, Jina is a big fan of the Save the Earth series.

Since she likes Part 1 and Part 2 at least three times, she is going crazy wondering what the long-awaited Part 3 will be like.

“…Can we watch something other than this today?”

Jina’s finger points towards the ticket booth where people are crowded.

There, a wall was filled with posters of foreign romantic movies that became a hot topic after being given perfect scores by a film critic known for his harsh words.

“To you with the world?”

“Yes.”

Is Jina melodramatic?

Even when special movies were aired on TV during the holidays, did you ever hate romantic movies because they were cringy?

No matter how many times Sujin suggested it to me, saying it was a masterpiece, I could still see her running away, saying she didn’t like it.

“It sure looks fun.”

“Yeah, right?”

Jinah’s eyes shook at Yoosung’s words.

It was like being late today, Jin-ah’s attitude was a little different from usual, and it seemed like she had picked up information from an unknown source somewhere.

What would happen if I chose that romantic movie as Jina said?

You will certainly pretend to be satisfied on the outside, but deep down in your heart, you will feel deep regret.

Because that wasn’t what she really wanted.

“But I made a reservation today because I wanted to see this. Or, I’ll buy you a ticket, so do you want to see Jina alone?”

“Gu, I don’t think there’s a need for that?”

“Then that’s it. I was curious too, part 3.”

I still thought that my sister was being dishonest.

Well, that’s cute though.

So I bought popcorn and cola and went into the 4th theater.

As expected from a series with a 3-star rating, the theater was deserted even though it was a weekend.

With just a little bit of exaggeration, it was almost like renting a theater to ourselves.

Well, would you say that the movie I watched like that is like a 3-point series movie?

There is something inexplicable about the male protagonist who was kidnapped by a spaceship and landed on Venus with the help of a female alien, but because he forgot about the alien and human body, he was repeatedly forcibly time leaped by the gravity of Venus and returned to Earth. It was.

Even Yooseong couldn’t hide his absurdity when a zombie that came out of nowhere at the end and ate the male protagonist.

‘No, no matter what, it’s not like space alien zombies suddenly pop out.’

The movie ended with them escaping from Earth, which was occupied by zombies, and living together on Mars with the help of a female alien.

“It was great, right?”

Unlike Yoosung, who had such sentiments, Jina seemed very moved.

She was immersed in the movie without even taking a breath, and even after it ended, she couldn’t get out of the afterglow.

I’m talking about the foreshadowing of Pluto that appeared in Series 2, but honestly, I don’t know anything about it.

I think I saw it with Jina once, but did Pluto come out that time?

The only thing I remember is the scene where the male protagonist first time leaped, and when he opened his eyes, the sun was right above him and he burned to death.

‘Well, I guess it doesn’t matter.’

It was worth searching hard and finding it.

Jina suddenly came to her senses when she saw Yoosung smiling so happily.

Isn’t this really like telling your older brother that you’re a huge fan?

“…Uhm, it was just a bit like that. Who sees such tacky things in this world these days?”

“…now?”

“I was just surprised that it was a little more fun than I expected. Don’t misunderstand.”

Yoosung was momentarily dumbfounded by Jin-ah’s attitude, but since he saw Jin-ah’s rare face blushing in embarrassment, he decided to ignore it.

“Where should we go next? I want to go, do you have it?”

The plan Yoosung made included going to the movie theater.

From now on, I planned to let Jina play as much as she wants.

Jin-ah’s face lit up at Yoosung’s words.

I thought that this time, I would be able to start a successful date by following Yeseul’s advice.

‘It’s always a place with a good atmosphere for a meal. It must be a restaurant after all.’

No problem this time.

Because I was looking for a restaurant with a good view at a reasonable price.

“Then next…”

With that in mind, I searched for the name of the store on a map app.

“…huh?”

However, eventually I couldn’t help but let out a confused voice.

I had obviously found a place that wasn’t that far away, but when I searched again, the restaurant said it was a whopping 2 hours from here.

Why did this result come out?

That was because Jina forgot and missed one fact.

When she first searched for a store, Jina naturally entered it in the order of distance from her home.

That’s because I didn’t expect to get this far this time.

Protect the Earth 3, which Jina wanted to see, was strictly minor, so there were not many movie theaters showing it in Seoul.

Thanks to this, I had no choice but to come to a department store that was far away from the start, and as a result, I ended up getting further away from the store I had originally thought of.

In the end, the consensus reached was a small western food store inside a department store.

“What’s wrong?”

“Oh, no, nothing.”

Jina’s face was pouting as she looked at the bacon cream pasta in front of her.

In the end, nothing went as she wanted today.

If this continues, it is unclear whether I will be able to come out with my brother again next time.

I couldn’t help but feel nervous inside.

Yoosung, looking at her like that, scratched his cheek.

I brought it here because I wanted Jina to enjoy it, but she was actually preoccupied with something else.

I think this situation will continue if I continue to leave it to Jina for today.

I was worried for a moment.

I was wondering where should I take them so they can show their honest joy like at the movies.

Then I suddenly remembered that there was one more thing Jina liked besides movies.

**

“…Ears, cute.”

Jina’s eyes sparkled as she looked at the tangled bundles of fur.

This is a dog cafe located near a department store.

The sight of 5 or 6 different types of puppies playing and playing brought a happy smile to my face.

While I was walking down the street a while ago, I remembered Jina staring at a dog while she was walking, so I brought her in and it seemed like it was the right answer.

If you see them not even touching the drink they ordered and just looking at the dog.

“They say it’s okay to touch it.”

“Really?”

Jina got off the table and lowered herself as if she had been waiting, and held out her hand to the Shih Tzu with pure white fur.

After sniffing Jina’s hand for a while, the little Shih Tzu soon licked her index finger with its tongue.

The sight of Jin-ah laughing with a flushed face, probably because it tickled her, was just like any ordinary schoolgirl you see anywhere.

The combination of a beautiful female student and a dog was enough to attract the attention of people inside the store.

Jina, who was preoccupied with playing with the puppies, seemed unaware.

“Do you like dogs?”

“…Jo, rather than saying I like it, I just don’t hate it.”

When I asked Jina a question after returning to her seat after playing with the puppies, the answer came back as disingenuous as usual.

It was so true to himself that Yoosung burst into laughter for a moment.

By the time I left the dog cafe, it was around 4 PM.

It was a bit of an awkward time to go straight home.

“Finally, where do you want to stop by?”

Yoosung asked again.

Movies, meals, cafes. Because when it was all over, there was nothing more that came to mind.

Moreover, I felt that Jin-ah, who was now in a good mood, would be able to speak honestly.

“…Then.”

Jina thought.

In the end, not a single thing worked out according to Yeseul’s advice.

So wouldn’t it be good for her to do the last thing she wants to do on her own?

“…Photo.”

“What?”

Seeing Yooseong asking a question, Jina gained even more courage.

Because I thought it was a chance that would never come back if it wasn’t now.

Even though I felt like I was going to die of shame, I forced myself to do it.

“…I want to take a picture. Together.”

A sticker photo with my brother that I deleted from my background just yesterday.

I thought I would like to have something similar.
