Just an ordinary private tutor

First Date 2

The complex shopping mall that we arrived at after riding the bus for about an hour
Movie theater. I never dreamed I would come here with my teacher.

“Hey, teacher, what kind of movies do you like?”

After a moment of silence, he points to a poster with his finger.

"Something like that."

And then I saw that and frowned. Ugh, what the heck.
It's a horror movie.

“Horror movie... It’s scary.”

“If you’re scared, look at something else, don’t look at me.”

I am very grateful for the teacher's consideration, but I feel like it is a bit pretentious.
I feel like using it. What should I do? Should I take this opportunity to escape from being a coward?
I glanced sideways and saw his eyes filled with interest.
It stood out.

"It's okay! Look at this."

"really?"

"I'm not that timid."

"Oh my... Don't drag it out later."

I braced my shoulders to muster up my courage. What is this?
It'll be scary. After all, a movie is just a movie.





"Gyaaak!!!"

Contrary to my expectations, it wasn't all that bad. Why was it so scary?
this!
Every time I screamed, the popcorn fell down and the teacher
It sits on your knees.

"I'm sorry, teacher."

"I told you to look at something different. There aren't many people right now.
It's a good thing it's not there."

The teacher pressed his temple, embarrassed by my reaction.
Oh really. Who is the most embarrassing person right now?

“And if you’re scared, just close your eyes.”

“It would be a waste of money to not see it.”

There is nothing more disappointing than coming to the cinema and not seeing a movie.
I was barely able to see the scary scene through the gap between my hands,

A baseball cap is placed over my head.

"Songdo, I paid for that money. Don't worry about it and just watch.
If you don't like it, you don't have to watch it."

My heart pounded as that rough hand touched my head.
It was the same. I took off my hat with slightly trembling hands.

“I put it on you on purpose.”

“I want to see the teacher’s face. I don’t think it will be scary.”

“What are you doing with my face... No, do whatever you want.”

From then on, until the movie credits rolled, I only saw the teacher's face.
I stared at him intently. He was really handsome even from the side. For a long time
While watching, I felt something strange. Usually, horror movies
People who see it show signs of surprise or fear.
On the other hand, the teacher's expression barely changed. Rather,
He has a serious face. Something really bad happened to me.
Like.





After leaving the movie theater and looking around the restaurant area, I finally got curious.
I couldn't resist so I asked.

“You looked unhappy while watching the movie. Why did you look like that?”

"Hmm. That."

The teacher unexpectedly gave a bitter smile.

“Because it overlaps with what I’ve been through so far. That content.”

That's an incomprehensible answer. Because the movie's protagonist is
Because it was a story about scary events happening as expected.
Doesn't it make sense that you've actually experienced that?

"...You don't understand."

"Yes. Honestly."

“You don’t have to know. Just do well like you are now.”

The teacher adjusted his baseball cap and softened his expression.
Looking at that, I guess I should just stay still for now.

“Are you feeling too excited? Let’s go get something to eat.”

"Then there's a great pasta restaurant over there. Let's go there."

As I walk ahead, he follows.
But soon after, the wind suddenly blocked my path and I had to take a deep breath.
I ended up bumping into something.

"What if the teacher suddenly interrupts?
"Ouch, my nose hurts."

"Don't move!!"

"yes?"

At that moment, the store door opened violently and someone holding a broken glass bottle
A man ran out, accompanied by a staff member who was desperately trying to subdue him.

"You are here."

The teacher quickly ran out leaving me and grabbed the man's wrist.
After twisting it, he snatched the glass bottle.

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

He doesn't care even after hearing the man's screams. Is he strong-hearted?

“Did you call the police?”

"Yes, I just called."

“Watch out so he doesn’t run away until I get back. Do-ah, let’s go.”

The teacher, who finished his work quickly, went to the restaurant across the street.
I take a step forward. I feel dazed, wondering what I just saw.





Even though I have my favorite seafood pasta in front of me
I knew it would be noisy. I wonder if it bothered him or he put a plate in front of me.
Pushed.

“Wow, teacher, you just seemed like you had superpowers.”

"Are you surprised?"

"That's obvious. But how did you know?
“I had no clue.”

"It's intuition."

I stared blankly at the sight of him rolling up the pasta, putting it in his mouth, and chewing it.
I just watched, then slowly became lost in thought. Something was being hidden.
It's the same, but I won't ask too much.

“I didn’t know you could make decisions so quickly. You also have a loud voice.”

"Ahem. Things are coming up."

“Are you worried I’ll get hurt like last time?
Even though he is blunt, he is still affectionate."

The teacher smiled brightly at my words. A sad smile passed through his face for a moment.
I winked though.

“I wish we could continue like this.”

"Ah, all of a sudden? Why??"

I almost heard a rumor. How can you say something like that so casually?
Do not let it happen.

"What you're doing is funny. Like that reaction you just had."

Are you kidding me? Are you saying my reaction is too much?

"Oh my gosh, teacher!!"

"Haha."

What is that mocking voice? Anyway, it was my fault for expecting it.
Still, I'm glad you seem to be in a better mood than usual.
