*Short story*

Hwang Yoon-seong) Always

It was truly a fleeting moment.

You came into my heart.

I really didn't know. This is what it meant to be in love..



Your face just kept popping into my head.

I just wanted to see you once.

I didn't know anything about you,

It kept coming to mind. Then I became curious.

Who you are.



"Over there!!"

It's you.

It was only for a moment, but I recognized you right away, just like back then.

"yes?"

I called you without thinking.

"Uh... that... that..."

"Ah...it's not me."

"No, wait a minute!!"



I'm afraid I'll lose you if I hesitate

He grabbed your sleeve and said.



"Do you happen to know where a movie theater is nearby?"

You answered my stupid question

"I'm going to the cinema too. Do you want to come with me?"

He answered me kindly and took me to the movie theater.




Arriving at the cinema

I was just rolling my eyes wondering what to do now.

"If you came to see a movie alone, would you like to watch it with me?"

You speak shyly, so I don't remember the first time I saw you at all

It was cute.




I booked a ticket for a typical romance movie and sat down early.

There was still a lot of time left before the movie started, so the atmosphere was a little awkward.

He spoke first.




"You are so kind. You brought me here even though I am meeting you for the first time.

Since you said you were watching it alone, please watch it with me..."

"I just suddenly wanted to watch a movie."




The movie started and I was just concentrating on it.

"Huh.."

I held my breath so as not to make a sound because the content was sadder than I thought.

I just kept shedding tears.




Then I looked to the side

You were looking at me quietly.

To be honest, I was surprised, but

I was so embarrassed that I hung my head.





A woman I met for the first time asked me for directions, so I gave her directions.

He asked me to watch a movie with him.

How strange it would look if you even cried...




Since then, I haven't been able to watch movies properly.

So I came out of the movie theater.




"Oh... thank you for today. Please watch the movie too...

I'll be going now. Thank you."

I was so embarrassed that I wanted to run away

Then will I really be branded as a strange woman?

I was going to say thank you and go home.

"Excuse me!" he calls me.

"If you ever find yourself watching a movie alone again, please contact me."

You left me with a note clutched tightly in your hand

I was dancing the samba dance, unable to control my heart.
