Chapter 18,
date,
"Those two go well together."
"Ayoung's friend and that guy?"
"Yeah, yeah. The atmosphere is good, and you look just like a couple."
"We'll probably look like a couple to other people, right?"
"Oh, no. That's not it."
Jeonghan winked and made a strange comment, and I coldly denied it. Jeonghan stared at me intently and sucked on the straw. I looked away from him and looked at my friend.
"You're doing great, can we go on a date?"
"But I asked you to look at it."
"That guy will be fine on his own. Who is he?"
"Oh, is that so..?"
"Phew, hahaha, wake up, let's go."
***
"But where are you going? Is there a place you want to go?"
"No? There isn't any?"
"You asked me out..."
"Being together like this is also a date."
"Yeah, yeah..."
"Shall we watch a movie?"
"Why a movie all of a sudden?"
"Because of Seokmin and kids like that, I've never watched a horror movie at home."
" ... Don't you know that I'm also part of that reason..?"
"Why? Are you scared?? "
***
"Wow~ This will be fun~."
"Yeah, just you..."
"Why? Aren't you excited?"
"When I get home, I'm going to tell Soonyoung and Mingyu that you forced me to watch a horror movie."
"Ugh... Soonyoung is okay, but I can't handle Mingyu..."
The reason Jeonghan says he can't handle Mingyu is because he clings to the kids until he says it's okay, and he teases them without them knowing. Everyone knows because Hansol got beat up before.
"Um... I won't tell Min-gyu."
"Okay, okay, good idea."
" ... "
"If you get scared, you can hug me."
"That won't happen..."
***
At first, it was very peaceful. All we saw were the main characters laughing and chatting amongst themselves. Every horror movie starts like this, but it didn't feel like a true horror film. But the atmosphere gradually grew tense, and screams could be heard. From that point on, I don't remember how I ended up watching the movie.
"Was it fun?"
"... Don't talk to me. You don't even know what kind of mind I was in watching the movie."
"There were a lot of sudden scenes."
"Let's go home!"
"Were you scared?"
"...I can't sleep alone tonight. I want to sleep hugging Seungcheol Choi."
"Why? Hold me and sleep."
"You're a cat. You should sleep hugging Min-gyu, Han-sol, and the fox, Sun-young."
"I just need to not turn into an animal."
"Jeonghan, I can already hear Seokmin crying."
"Tch-,"
***
On the way home, I got a text from a friend. "Hey, I think I'll be fine!!", "That's right, who was that guy you were with earlier??", "You went on a blind date too? I thought you two were going out together earlier.", etc. I responded nicely.
As I entered the house after entering the password, Wonwoo, Soonyoung, and Mingyu were sitting in front of me, transformed into animals. Could it be that they were still here after I left? As I was taking off my shoes and entering, Hansol passed by and said,
"You're here? These guys have been here the whole time."
"Oh, really?? Why were you doing this!!"
"I was wondering what was going on because the kids were still here."
"You're here, so I'll go now."
Sunyoung went inside, ticking. She was waiting for me, but it was cute how she pretended not to.
"Sister. I've been waiting for you for so long."
Mingyu came to me and hugged me. Seeing that, Wonwoo humanized himself and tried his best to push Mingyu away from me.
"Aww, this gum. It won't come off."
"Let Ayoung rest for a bit."
"But guys, can't you see me?"
" who are you. "
Wonwoo passed by in a flash. Jeonghan followed him, pouting profusely, as if he was being too much. Then I dragged Mingyu into the living room.
