"Ah~ Tomorrow is finally the weekend!"
"Your daily routine is always the weekend."
"Are you sure? I have my own life too-"
I felt good at the thought that if I could just hold out through the afternoon, I could sleep in today. I spent lunchtime flying around the school, striding through the hallways, and once fifth period started, I had no memory of it.
When I opened my eyes, it was already the end of the 7th period and Wonwoo was still looking at me pitifully from the side.
The bell rang, I rubbed my eyes, stretched, and quickly packed my bag to get ready to go home.
"I've never seen Yoon Yeo-ju wake up."
" me too. "
"I'm also a partner, but why have I never seen you before?"
"Ha- These..."
Tomorrow is the weekend, but I felt a little sad about spending today like this, so I headed to the bus stop, wondering if there was anything I could do.
"Anyone have school today?"
"Me and Lee Seok-min are doing math."
"I speak Korean."
"I don't have any?"
" me too. "
I was feeling like playing for no reason, so I thought about playing with the kids, but Seokmin, Seungkwan, and Wonwoo said no because they had school. I was the only one sulking and playing on my phone when Soonyoung pulled me toward her, saying that if we really wanted to play, we should just play together. At that moment, Mingyu joined in on the other side, saying that he wanted to play too, and I said that the more people the better, so the three of us should play.
"Shall we watch a movie? A late night movie!"
" Or so it is."
"I wonder if there's anything that came out recently..."
"You said there was something you wanted to see last time. Let's see that."
"Wow, this is so good!"
We said goodbye to the kids who had to go to school, and the three of us sat on the bus, reserving movie tickets. We decided to grab dinner before the movie, so we went to a restaurant near the theater.
While waiting for the right amount of food and water, Soonyoung opened her mouth.
"That's right, I heard the teachers will be here soon."
"Is it that time already..?"
"Yeah, I guess it hasn't been that long since I met that weird guy."
Is it just my imagination that makes me glare at Min-gyu while saying that...?
The food arrived, and I was practically inhaling it, hungry as I was. Soonyoung, who was always looking after me, told me to eat as much as I could, and gave me some of her own. I smiled and expressed my gratitude.
"Ah, I'm full."
"Yeoju seems to eat a lot, but why doesn't she gain weight?"
"I'm the type of person who doesn't gain weight day or night."
"Ah... I didn't ask you."
" ,, ? "
As I ate until my stomach was about to burst, my pace automatically slowed, and they, engaging in a strange war of nerves, hurried ahead of me. Then, my eyes lit up as I saw a sticker photo shop, and I ran towards them.
"Let's take a picture!"
"Uh, huh..?"
Sunyoung was used to this kind of me, but Min-gyu, flustered, was practically dragged into the store. I looked in the mirror and picked out headbands that suited the kids. With three people in the small space, the place was already packed.
"Oh, come on!"
"Hey, you've grown a bit? You don't have to fold your legs as much as last time, do you?"
"Of course~ I'm still growing up even though I'm like this."
I posed with my arms linked with Soonyoung and Mingyu's. Mingyu, still feeling awkward, didn't look at the camera. I pointed at the camera lens with my hand and told him to make facial expressions. As time went on, I got used to it and the poses came out naturally.
No, what's the last picture? lol
Before I knew it, it was the last picture, so I moved around for a moment, wanting a different pose. Then, Mingyu placed his hand on my head and leaned in closer. At that moment, Soonyoung was staring at him, and just then, the picture was taken and printed.
"Haha, it came out well."
"Ah- because of one person at the end.. "
"Who would say that?"
"Hey, everyone, let's stop now and go watch a movie!"
I carefully tucked the photos into my bag and dragged the kids to the movie theater. I thought there wouldn't be many people because it was nighttime, but perhaps because it was Friday, there were a lot of people. Soonyoung held my hand tightly, telling me not to get lost. My other hand, by some chance, was holding Mingyu's.
I feel like a prisoner, guys...
I'm not the type to eat much while watching a movie, so I figured I'd share a drink with Sunyoung, and the kids went to order. They sat me down right in front of them, and since I was right there in front of them, I could see the backs of the kids ordering.
" excuse me... "
" yes? "
Then someone approached me and I looked up from my phone.
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
Oh my god... God, are you finally giving me this kind of luck!
A handsome man with big eyes and a deer-like appearance handed me his cell phone and asked if I had a boyfriend. I was flustered and answered in a dazed manner.
"Oh, no, yo..."
"Then can you give me that number?"
"Ah... that's..."
"There's a kid he likes."
As I was debating whether or not to give him my number, Soonyoung, holding a cola in one hand, walked between me and the man and spoke. I looked to the side and saw Mingyu, holding a cola and popcorn in each hand. The way he blankly observed the situation was a bit amusing.
"Do you have someone you like?"
"Oh, it's not that he likes her, it's that she likes him."
" yes...? "
"Ah... I'm sorry."
I apologized to Sunyoung for talking nonsense and then dragged them both by the hand and left the place.
Kwon Soon-young, what is she talking about...
"You're just standing there like an idiot."
"No.. I was just wondering if I should give it to you."
"Give me your number? I'm a little disappointed in you..."
"Huh..? No, why you, "
I will enter Hall 4~
I tried to ask Min-gyu, who seemed disappointed by my words, but the employee's loud voice automatically silenced my words.
I could have laughed quite a bit at the sight of them sitting on either side of me, concentrating on the movie, and since it was an action movie that I liked, I was able to concentrate as well.
Every time the main character was hit, I grimaced as if in pain, and when the main character won the fight, I felt happy as if I had won.
"Ah- let's go home now, it's late."
"It's a shame... why is the day so short?"
"If I come home late, will you worry again, hyung?"
"My brother is a student preparing for the college entrance exam, so he probably doesn't know I'm not home because he's studying. He's going to the study room."
"Is Yeoju's brother here?"
When the movie ended and I came out, feeling tired, it was already dark and night had fallen.
"Yeah, I have an older brother."
"Oh, what about your parents?"
" uh...? "
As I answered Min-gyu's question, he asked again, "Are you heading to the bus stop?" Soon-young and I stopped walking. Sensing an emptiness beside him, Min-gyu turned around to look at us, and the mood instantly soured.
" Yeoju, "
"No, nothing like that."
Sunyoung grabbed my wrist, but I tried my best to smile and say, "Mingyu looked embarrassed at my words, and I, feeling like I'd ruined the mood for no reason, raised my spirits again and dragged the kids along.
I was sitting at the bus stop waiting for the bus. The night air was still a little chilly. When I rubbed my arm, Sunyoung noticed and pulled out her gym jacket from her bag.
"Thank you haha."
"Don't worry, I told you I'm going now."
"Don't worry~ I need to go to bed quickly, I'm tired."
Actually, I wasn't tired, but Min-gyu was so observant of me that I said nothing.
There's no need to be so cautious...
"Ah, Kim Min-gyu! Are you good at sports?"
"Huh..? Okay, do it well."
"Really? It looks like you can't do it-. Sunyoung, let's just do our best during the sports day, Min-gyu."
I just played a prank on Min-gyu and thanks to that, Min-gyu smiled and accepted my prank.
