"Why do I have to go to your grocery store too?"
“Because you often eat our food too.”
" .. still! "
“Mom told me to go with you. Go and choose what you want to eat.”
“Madam... you had it all planned out?”
On a weekend morning that was supposed to be refreshing, Choi Soo-bin forcibly dragged me out of my house. I thought she dragged me out because she was annoyed with me running errands, but it turned out to be a big picture of the lady.
"And you said you'd buy me a movie"
"What do you want to see?"
“Don’t you know? What’s coming out these days?”
“There have been a lot of re-releases lately.”
“Um.. do you want to go see that Shinchan?”
“Are you a genius?”
“It looks like a Shinchan movie has been opened.”
“Oh but I already saw that”
Actually, the one I saw when I went to the movie theater with Beomgyu before was that Crayon Shin-chan. No, Beomgyu said he knew Crayon Shin-chan and that he didn't care, so I chose the one I wanted to see for a long time... um
"When? Alone?"
"No? Beom..Gyurang..?"
Oh my... I tried my best not to talk about Beomgyu in front of Choi Soobin... I should've just lied...
"Huh.. that time? The day you went out to play?"
"Uh..yeah"
“Then it’s out.”
“ … “
It was a shame. It was really fun, but of course I might have been the only one who enjoyed it.
I couldn't hide my gloomy expression as I entered the movie theater. When I got to the ticket booth, the two letters "Crayon Shin-chan" kept flashing. When I looked to the side, I saw children laughing out loud, imitating Crayon Shin-chan.
You guys are so envious... I guess you saw Shinchan.
at that time,
“Crayon Shin-chan… do you miss me?”
“Yeah.. Huh?”
"What is so charming about Shinchan?"
"Just... they're all attractive... No! You don't have to look at them"
"Don't make me laugh. You've been watching those kids over there all this time."
".. got caught"
"Then let's watch Crayon Shin-chan"
“Is that okay..?”
“I came here to buy it for you. You should see what you want to see.”
“Subin.. “
"Wow, just now, did Choi Soobin become Soobin in Shinchan? Me?"
" lol.. "
“Chi.. hey I’ll reserve tickets so you go buy some popcorn”
" yep! "
So I headed to the store with a joyful heart. For the first time, Choi Soo-bin looked like an angel.
I stood in line to buy popcorn and cola. Choi Soo-bin, sitting on the waiting chair, was looking somewhere with a very serious expression on his face, as if he was looking at something.
“Where are you looking.. “
at that time,
Swish,
"Huh? Lady!"
"Beomgyu..?"
"Are you here to see a movie?"
"Yeah, yeah! You too?"
I smelled a familiar scent behind me, so I tried to turn around just in case, but Beomgyu greeted me first.
"I came to see you with my friends. How about you?"
"I'm Choi Soo... no, me too with my friend"
It would be better not to bring up Choi Soobin to Beomgyu either...
“What do you want to see?”
"I'm Crayon Shin-chan! The one I saw last time"
"Ah~ That thing I saw back then? It was fun."
" Huh, right?! "
at that time,
“Huh? What is this? No way.. ”
“..?”
“Oh, my friends”
" ah.. "
“Isn’t that him from back then?”
" uh..? "
"You and I last time.. "
"The heroine is very sensitive to sunlight..! Right, heroine?"
"Huh? Oh.. yeah"
at that time,
“The popcorn and cola you ordered have arrived.”
" yes..! "
Swish,
"Have fun watching the movie and see you at school"
"Huh? Oh yeah!"
Something is fishy. Why do they know me..? And what is going on between Beomgyu and them..? Beomgyu who is so quick to stop it is also fishy.
I was suspicious, but I thought I would get scolded by Choi Soo-bin if I was late again, so I tried to ignore it and headed to the waiting chair.
"There's a line at the store too"
“It seems like there are more people today than usual.”
"Who are those guys you were talking about earlier?"
"Huh..? Oh, that.. "
" .. "
"Friends! Friends you don't know"
AC is ruined. Among my friends, there can't be a friend that Choi Soobin doesn't know. Choi Yeonjun also knows Choi Soobin, and there is a formula that says my friend = Choi Soobin's friend.
I ended up telling a lie that was too good to be true.
" .. Kim Yeo-ju "
" uh..? "
“You don’t have to try so hard not to talk about Choi Beom-gyu in front of me.”
"Huh? Oh, Beomgyu, really not..h"
"There's no way you have a friend that I don't know about."
“ … “
“Just be comfortable when you’re with me. You don’t have to try too hard.”
" .. okay "
“I guess Choi Beom-gyu came to see the movie too”
“Yeah. I came with my friends.”
“Friends..? No way.. “
"Why? Do you know anything?"
" .. Haven't you heard anything from them? "
"Yeah. But.. "
" .. "
"They were about to say something, but Beomgyu quickly stopped them."
" .. okay? "
“Why? What’s wrong?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
"Oh, why? What is it?"
"Stop talking about Choi Beom-gyu"
" .. tooth "
“Huh? Are you canceling Crayon Shin-chan? Just watch Hero?”
“Ah..!! I’m sorry.. ”
“Now that I look at it, Shinchan is really invincible~?”
“.. Choi Soo-bin, really”
Yeah, in this situation, Choi Soo-bin is the top. As the bottom, there's nothing I can do... If I can protect Jjang-goo, I can take this much beating... I can endure it.
No, but I really get the King.
After a while,
“Crayon Shin-chan can’t be stopped, so he’ll enter~”
“Let’s go in!”
So we went into the theater together and after several commercials, the movie started. I was once again convinced that Shin-chan was cute no matter how many times I saw him.
Looking at Choi Soo-bin next to me, it seemed like she was having quite a bit of fun watching it.
After watching the movie, Choi Soo-bin said she was going to the bathroom for a bit. While Choi Soo-bin was waiting, I was playing the claw machine next to me and kept narrowly missing the prize.
at that time,
“Ah, when is Choi Beom-gyu going to come out..?”
“Huh..? Those guys.. ”
I looked at the stairs next to me and saw Beomgyu's friends from earlier and they seemed to be waiting for him. But Beomgyu was meeting friends who looked very different from him.
If Beomgyu is between us, isn't he a total angel?
I just continued playing claw machines alone, feeling like my friends would get a headache if they got involved.
Swish,
“Oh..!! I picked it!!”
“But is that the girl I was talking about earlier that one?”
"That's right"
" me..? "
Those kids seemed to be talking about me. What the... Am I being talked about again? I couldn't hear them very well, so I got pretty close. But I was still curious...
Swish,
“That’s right. That’s the guy we bet with last time.”
" bet..? "
“How many days are left? A week left?”
“I guess so? It’s been a month.”
“..?!!”
“If it takes a month for that face to be like that, isn’t it weird for a woman to do that?”
"ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Seriously"
widely,
The story of those kids couldn't help but be shocking. No, it was too shocking. The reason Beomgyu approached me first was simply because he bet money.
The reason why he was so kind to me was because of the time he had given me for a month. At that moment, I was so shocked by the content that I wondered if the story was true. No, I didn't want to believe it.
It's like denying my heart because all the things I liked were lies
Because the feeling that I liked her even just a little bit more than Choi Soo-bin is being denied
at that time,
“Hey, lady? What’s going on here..?”
Swish,
widely,
“Uh.. heroine.. “
“ .. bad guy “
" uh..? "
Gulp,
“Really… why don’t I hate you… why?”
"What the hell is wrong? Huh? Tell me why..ㅂ"
“It must have been really urgent, with only a week left.. right?”
" ..!! no way.. "
“I feel like I’m weird for not being able to feel affection for someone as handsome as you.”
"Lady... that's"
"I don't want to listen to the reasons or excuses you're trying to give me right now."
If I hear that excuse or reason, I'm afraid I'll fall in love with you again, or I won't be able to let go of this feeling I have now.
at that time,
“Kim Yeo-ju, go now.. what the hell?”
“Choi Soo-bin..?”
“..let’s go. Hurry up.”
widely,
“..you cried?”
“..let’s just go quickly”
“Kim Yeo-ju. Look at me.”
“Ah, let’s go quickly..ㄱ”
“Look at me.”
“ ..!! “
“Is it true that he made me cry?”
“ … “
" .. under "
Then, Choi Soo-bin suddenly approached Beom-gyu and said,
puck,
“..!!”
".. If you're stupid, you should have at least tried"
“ … “
“.. He was a guy who didn’t even have a single bit of sincerity.”
After saying that, Choi Soo-bin dragged me out of the movie theater.
It was quite a shock. Choi Soo-bin also knew about that fact..? But why didn't she say anything..?
It was just a shock. It felt like the sand castle I had built was collapsing in an instant.
In the end, I decided to hear the whole story from Choi Soo-bin.
“ .. That’s how it happened “
I knew more than I thought. So the reason they fought back then was because Choi Soobin hit Beomgyu.
“Then the reason you two fought back then...”
“ .. I got angry when I heard that and stopped.. ”
“If I had known...”
" uh..? "
“Why didn’t you tell me..? Why..?”
" .. that is "
“If you had told me, I wouldn’t have had to worry about that.. I wouldn’t have heard that story.. ”
I felt ashamed of myself for worrying and feeling sorry in the past. All those worries became just my useless delusions because of this one story.
“Why on earth..!”
“ .. because I saw something you really liked “
" what..? "
"You said you wanted to get closer to Choi Beomgyu, but... I knew. How much you really liked Choi Beomgyu."
“ … “
"I felt it too. But how could I..."
“ … “
"Tell that to the person you like..."
" you.. "
“I know you’ll be sad when you hear that story, so how can I just tell you that story so casually?”
“ … “
“ .. I’m sorry. I was short-sighted.”
" .. under "
It rained. It rained, but no one knew whether it was a shower or the beginning of a long rainy season. I unconsciously shrank back to the colder raindrops than I had expected.
It was a much colder rain than the rain I've been through so far. Will this rain ever stop?
I wish it was just a passing shower. I wish it was a shower that would pass without leaving a trace.
