Chapter Index

    Assassins chased the princess.

    The one who helped his master escape and welcomed his pursuers was an old knight past his prime.

    After a fierce battle, he defeated all his pursuers, and only the leader who led the assassins remained.

    The knight, with his arm cut off and his entire body wounded, held his sword until the end.

    ‘It’s an unfortunate ending.’

    iced coffee.

    Look.

    The sight of an honorable knight burning his life.

    The noble will to protect it with one’s life.

    A most glorious form.

    “Haaaap!”

    Just as the old knight was about to raise his sword and make a final resistance –

    Lim Chae-won came back from the bathroom.

    “Ah, are you here?”

    “What were you doing?”

    “I was just reading a novel.”

    “Shall we go in now? Give me popcorn! I will listen.”

    “It’s okay. Please take care of this ticket.”

    “Okay.”

    She smiled and grabbed the ticket that was stuck in his fingers.

    As I entered the dark theater, people were sparsely seated.

    It was a popular movie…

    Maybe it’s because it’s almost the end of the screening period.

    “Our seats… the couple’s seats must be in the very back…? Ah, there it is!”

    Lim Chae-won, who was looking for a seat in front of the screen, pointed to their seats with his finger.

    As I was about to climb the stairs, I saw familiar people.

    “..Hey, aren’t you Seungwoo and Sehee?”

    “That’s right. You must be looking at this..?”

    The couple’s seat was in the back row, and the two were sitting close to each other a few rows ahead.

    It was Kim Seung-woo and Jin Se-hee who I met when I just entered the movie theater building.

    The four gazes crossed in the air, and Choi Do-hyun and Lim Chae-won climbed the stairs and said hello.

    “What, do you guys see this too?”

    “Yes. It’s fascinating.”

    Lim Chae-won responded to Kim Seung-woo’s words.

    “Okay… then. I’ll go.”

    “Yes. Have a nice date.”

    “You, you too…”

    Choi Do-hyun laughed when he saw his lover blushing at the word date, even though they had already been dating for quite some time.

    “Come quickly.”

    “Uh, yes!”

    They headed to the couple’s seat and sat down.

    It looks similar to a two-seater sofa, and the texture of the cushion that supports the buttocks is slightly less soft than that of a regular seat.

    It looked like two chairs combined into one, there was no armrest in the middle, and there were partitions on both sides.

    It was a device that prevented other people’s gaze from interfering with the couple’s private time.

    Of course, that doesn’t mean you should act outside of common sense.

    The two took off their outer clothes, hung them on the screen, and held hands.

    Even though it was a public place with many people together, it felt like watching a movie at home alone.

    After a while, the lights turned off and the actors began acting on the screen.

    While Choi Do-hyeon was quietly looking at the screen, Lim Chae-won looked at him.

    The two large, clear eyes were full of affection.

    Lately, it felt like everything was connected to him.

    It feels like the whole world is full of it.

    If I eat something delicious, I wonder if he will like it.

    It often led to the conclusion that I should buy it later.

    If the weather is clear, I think it would be nice if we could go for a walk together.

    Whenever I look at clothes, I think I want to see him wearing only the clothes I bought him.

    When I sleep, I think about how warm and happy it would be to sleep while hugging him…

    Literally, the entire world surrounding her was filled with Choi Do-hyun.

    Love had the power to change the world.

    ‘Sehee and Seungwoo… must have felt this way a long time ago, right?’

    Before, before she became in this relationship with Choi Do-hyun…

    I remembered the words of Jin Se-hee and Kim Seung-woo.

    The sight of him smiling while talking about the happiness of love.

    ‘Do you think they are watching well?’

    As my thoughts expanded to that point, I became curious about their appearances.

    ‘I think I chose a very corner spot… huh?’

    The people who turned their heads here and there weren’t watching the movie at all.

    Jin Se-hee and Kim Seung-woo look at each other with an attitude that initially seems like they are not interested at all.

    Very, very close. From a distance that can reach your breath…

    And that too, with our mouths touching…?

    ‘That’s just a kiss…! Uh, how could you be in a place like that..?’

    It was a refreshing shock.

    Witnessing your friends’ affectionate behavior in real time…and witnessing it in a place like this.

    It was something I could never have imagined.

    ‘Is that really what older couples do…?’

    Suddenly, she looked to the side.

    His lips, still immersed in the movie, suddenly began to come into view.

    At the same time, memories from the manager’s office come to mind.

    Just the two of us, clinging to each other in the manager’s office –

    “Keu, keuhm.”

    I cleared my throat without realizing it.

    “What’s wrong?”

    A whisper came from right next to me.

    Instead of answering, she stared intently at his face.

    Soon, she brought both hands together near her mouth and whispered in his ear.

    “..Can I go up?”

    “Of course.”

    Although it was a sentence containing only verbs, he naturally understood what she said.

    An abbreviation that only the two of them can understand soon proves that they have a special relationship.

    She smiled at him and gently climbed onto her boyfriend’s lap.

    Naturally, his arms were wrapped like seat belts.

    At the same time, a feeling of warmth and stability spreads throughout the body.

    Although I have felt his embrace many times during club time, it always feels new.

    Side, small.

    She placed her lips on his neck a few times.

    The skin that touches your lips. A scent that enters your nose every time you touch it.

    ‘Why is it like this today…’

    Of course, he was always nice, but today he looked even more adorable.

    Accepting sudden requests.

    Swoosh, swoosh. Even gently brushing your hair like you do now.

    I liked the attentiveness of knowing what I wanted without having to say anything.

    “Dohyun.”

    “I love you.”

    “Me too.”

    The genre of the movie I am watching is historical drama.

    While the king’s guards and assassins engaged in a bloody fight with swords aimed at them, the off-screen lovers confirmed their affection for each other.

    With warm skin and skin.

    With the soft texture of clothes.

    With your eyes and hands…

    ‘…good night. ‘It’s a good thing you came out.’

    She praised her past self for immediately answering that she would leave without even a single thought.

    I look at his face slightly above, and then turn my head back to the screen.

    Try putting it on your hand and petting it.

    When I turned my head again after laughing brightly, another difficulty presented itself.

    Jin Se-hee leaves the movie theater, slightly bowed, supported by Kim Seung-woo.

    ‘Uh…’

    In an instant, my hair turned white.

    ‘Well, that’s it. That… that, uh…?’

    They also took a seat at the very back, and should have gotten closer to Lim Chae-won on the way to the exit.

    And Jin Se-hee’s expression reflected in the screen light.

    When Jeong Ye-eun and Jeong Ye-rin look at Choi Do-hyun… I wonder if it would be like that if the emotion became a little deeper than the emotion at the time.

    I knew it instinctively.

    What will they do next?

    ‘….’

    Once my thoughts expanded in that direction, my thinking circuit began to revolve only in that direction.

    Just as I was about to engage in skinship with my loved one, gradually… my brain cells went into overdrive.

    ‘Dohyeon would want to do that too, right..? ‘Have you already done it with other kids?’

    Starting with thoughts about the unusual structure of a relationship.

    ‘But if you take off your clothes… won’t you be disappointed in me..? Yeeun and Yerin…’

    It was a thought she had always avoided, but eventually the difference in her body struck her again.

    Gradually, my concentration on the movie became blurred.

    Even as the king finally dies and the bodyguard is revealed to have been a traitor.

    Even when the guards were purged by traitors and the power struggle descended into a whirlwind…

    Having no use for the cruelty on the screen, she developed the thoughts in her mind.

    .

    .

    .

    “It was fun, right?”

    “Uh, yes.”

    In fact, I barely saw her until about halfway through, but first she answered.

    There is no way I can answer honestly what I was thinking.

    ‘..big..right? I see it when I’m working out… And, to do it, I have to buy a nose and a condom…’

    The small, innocent girl who was satisfied with head pats and back hugs began to want more.

    “I have some popcorn left, would you like some?”

    -huh? popcorn?

    “Huh? Condom?”

    “Yes?”

    “Huh?”

    A slip of the tongue with magical timing.

    Choi Do-hyeon, who was confused for a moment, smiled.

    “What, were you thinking that?”

    “Oh, no, that’s – ”

    “I didn’t look at this like that, but it was just in my head..”

    Lim Chae-won’s face became as hot as a crimson.

    “Yeah, right! I thought about something like that, well! I’m with my boyfriend, so I can think about that…!”

    Words mixed with unnecessary resentment and shame.

    To those words, Choi Do-hyun responded with a smile different from usual.

    “No, well… you can think about it like that.”

    It’s not the soft, cool smile I’ve always seen as a boyfriend…

    With a somewhat dangerous smile that makes you tremble and stiffen your body.

    It was a smile that reminded me of him before, when he was fighting that huge black man.

    “Follow me, sister.”

    Suddenly, he grabbed her wrist.

    “Nu, you hit my sister’s wrist like that – ”

    “It’s noisy.”

    Attitude changed from inside the theater.

    It’s a change I wouldn’t normally like, but it’s not the same level of detail I’ve been feeling all along –

    As for Lim Chae-won, I didn’t hate him that much now either.
