“…what?”

김여주 image

김여주

I want to go on a date!!

한동민 image

한동민

Suddenly?

김여주 image

김여주

…Yeah!!

김여주 image

김여주

I’ve never done it even once since I was born!!

김여주 image

김여주

I want to try it!! What!!

한동민 image

한동민

…;

한동민 image

한동민

Hey, you really came here because you wanted a relationship..?

김여주 image

김여주

Ah, what the!!

김여주 image

김여주

Then that’s not okay..!?

한동민 image

한동민

…Ugh,,

한동민 image

한동민

For someone who looks so innocent, you’re pretty shameless..-

(smack-)

Dongmin smacked Joohyun on the forehead.

김여주 image

김여주

Ah!

김여주 image

김여주

…So that’s really that bad,,

한동민 image

한동민

…Do something realistic

한동민 image

한동민

Do you even have a date?

김여주 image

김여주

…

김여주 image

김여주

…Why wouldn’t I!!

김여주 image

김여주

Aren’t you a guy too!?

한동민 image

한동민

…What?

김여주 image

김여주

…And Kim Donghyun.. and Unhak are guys too…

김여주 image

김여주

And our homeroom teacher is a guy too… and also… the security guard ajusshi too…

Ah, what are you even saying;; seriously

Why is it coming out like this?;;

I said I want to go on a date with you!! Han Dongmin, you!!!

Then why can’t you answer that… seriously..

My brain is overheating. I don’t even know what I’m saying.

In short, I’m a crazy bastard right now.

김여주 image

김여주

..A-and..

한동민 image

한동민

…Stop,

Dongmin cut off Joohyun’s endless babbling.

김여주 image

김여주

…

한동민 image

한동민

Hey, you…

한동민 image

한동민

So if it’s a guy, anything goes?

김여주 image

김여주

…Huh?

한동민 image

한동민

Seriously, be careful out there.. what kind of girl are you with zero sense like this?

김여주 image

김여주

Huh?

김여주 image

김여주

No, that’s not what I meant

한동민 image

한동민

I could understand up to Kim Donghyun and Kim Unhak

한동민 image

한동민

But what, homeroom teacher?? What, the security guard ajusshi??

한동민 image

한동민

Are you crazy

김여주 image

김여주

Ah.

김여주 image

김여주

Ah. No…

It just came out wrongㅠㅠ

Overwhelmed with nerves, she ended up blurting out every guy she knew, and some kind of misunderstanding happened.

A really huge misunderstanding.

한동민 image

한동민

You do know not to follow strangers, right?

한동민 image

한동민

Don’t just go following guys around, okay?

한동민 image

한동민

You learn that in kindergarten, huh?

김여주 image

김여주

…

김여주 image

김여주

…Okay, I know, I know,,

한동민 image

한동민

Seriously

김여주 image

김여주

…Seriously, so!! I get it!!

한동민 image

한동민

…;(startled)

김여주 image

김여주

So, go with me

김여주 image

김여주

You can just teach me, can’t you………

한동민 image

한동민

…

한동민 image

한동민

…Teach you what?

김여주 image

김여주

…

김여주 image

김여주

…A date,,

…

..

.”

“Is this your first time at a movie theater?”

김여주 image

김여주

…Yeah, but-

한동민 image

한동민

What, were you a wild child for 19 years..?

한동민 image

한동민

Did you come from somewhere deep in the mountains?

김여주 image

김여주

…That’s not it.

Ugh, seriously, why am I so annoyed today?

I somehow ended up asking him out, but Han Dongmin, I swear he’s probably teasing me

한동민 image

한동민

Or not

So I’m your first

…

Ah, shit

What do you mean, being the first one is making me nervous…

Hah;; what kind of clueless thought is this;;

It wasn’t my first date ever, but I got chills from myself thinking like this.

I’d never had such stupid thoughts before

Or been this shaken before

Why is it only you that makes me think such stupid things

Did I finally lose it?

The fact that Kim Joohyun said she wanted to go on a date was an 변수.

So naturally, I just assumed wrong.

A date? So, with who?

I’m your practice run?

What are guys to you?

Why are Kim Donghyun and Kim Unhak even in this?

And since when were you close with Unhak?

Unbelievable

Oh.

Oh. No…

It was just the wrong thing coming out of my mouthㅠㅠ

I was so nervous I ended up blurting out every guy I knew, and now there’s some misunderstanding.

A really big misunderstanding.

I thought we felt the same.

But in reality, nothing ever came out of this guy’s mouth.

So this vague situation, with only circumstantial evidence, is what’s making me like this.

The movie’s starting! (whisper)

김여주 image

김여주

..Huh?

한동민 image

한동민

The surroundings grew dark.

A moment later, only the screen lit up as the movie began.

“…Boring?”

Huh?

한동민 image

한동민

I thought you looked spaced out (whisper)

김여주 image

김여주

Ah, no… it’s fun

한동민 image

한동민

…?

김여주 image

김여주

What, was I the only one this worked up..?

This is my first time at a movie theater, and my first date too

That bastard Han Dongmin has probably done this plenty..

Well, with that face, it’d be more surprising if he hadn’t..-

…How irritating,

…

김여주 image

김여주

I tugged at the sleeve of Dongmin’s clothes while he rested his chin on his hand.

…?

한동민 image

한동민

Dongmin’s arm naturally dropped. When Han Dongmin’s “what is it?” gaze reached me, I grabbed the hand he’d lowered.

…

김여주 image

김여주

His focus had already been gone for a while.

Even holding his hand now felt like stubbornness on my part.

And yet, his attitude was so natural, not avoiding my hand at all, that it already felt too late to back out.

…

한동민 image

한동민

…

김여주 image

김여주

…

..

.

Before I knew it, the credits were rolling.

…

김여주 image

김여주

…

한동민 image

한동민

I couldn’t let go of the hand I’d been holding until the movie ended.

Maybe I missed the moment to let go.

I couldn’t focus throughout the movie, and all I could think about was my sweaty hand.

Since Han Dongmin wasn’t reacting at all, the situation had become awkward in every direction.

Making me think otherwise,

the hand I was holding felt hot.

Say something… Han Dongmin,,

…(gnaw)

김여주 image

김여주

As the end of the credits came into view, my tension rose.

I bit my lip.

I was worrying about how to get through this situation naturally.

If I acted like nothing was wrong,

I felt like I’d just look ridiculous.

…Let’s go, now

한동민 image

한동민

Dongmin broke the brief silence and came to his senses.

Then he lifted Joohyun’s hand and led her out of the theater.

…

..

.

Right, this is a date..

…

김여주 image

김여주

Aren’t you hungry?

한동민 image

한동민

Mm-hm,

김여주 image

김여주

Mm-hm, I ate a lot of popcorn,,

김여주 image

김여주

Just kidding.

Food isn’t going down my throat right now.

Um..,

한동민 image

한동민

I felt like it’d be a waste to just go home like this.

So I moved my head, looking for some excuse to keep him there for a little longer.

“Wanna try the claw machine?”

!

김여주 image

김여주

Yeah! I do!!

김여주 image

김여주

Are you good at claw machines?

김여주 image

김여주

I’m not sure..

한동민 image

한동민

Wanna try?

한동민 image

한동민

Yeah-!

김여주 image

김여주

Kim Joohyun’s eyes sparkled at the claw machine.

She had a cute side, like a girl her age.

Click.-

I put a coin into the machine.

Whir.-

Joohyun’s body followed the claw’s movement.

Ooh-!

김여주 image

김여주

…Hey, sit still

한동민 image

한동민

Keep still for a second

한동민 image

한동민

But..! I feel like I’m really gonna get it!!

김여주 image

김여주

I’ve got a feeling.

김여주 image

김여주

Heh..ㅋㅋ

한동민 image

한동민

What am I supposed to do with this endless positivity?

Dongmin let out a dry laugh.

Clunk-!

As the claw slowly lowered, it spun around near the opening and grabbed something.

Ooh-!?

김여주 image

김여주

Joohyun panicked and stuck her face up to the machine.

..!?

한동민 image

한동민

What the claw had grabbed was a ring.

It snagged the ring where two key rings overlapped.

Ba-rara-bam-*

With a sound, the two dolls the claw had left at the opening dropped down.

!!!

김여주 image

김여주

What the heck, Han Dongmin!!!!

김여주 image

김여주

Why are you so good at this??

김여주 image

김여주

…It actually worked,,

한동민 image

한동민

Even the person who’d won it was flustered.

The dry laugh at Kim Joohyun’s endless positivity a moment ago vanished completely.

Who knew it’d be this easy?

Was Joohyun’s positivity weirdly right after all?

I’ll take this

김여주 image

김여주

You take this one

김여주 image

김여주

Joohyun gave the monkey plush to Dongmin, then hugged the cat plush to her chest.

?

한동민 image

한동민

I’m the one who won it, though?

한동민 image

한동민

I won two of them

김여주 image

김여주

That’s mean.

김여주 image

김여주

…

한동민 image

한동민

…Fine;

한동민 image

한동민

Dongmin took the monkey plush.

ㅎㅎ

김여주 image

김여주

This looks like you-

김여주 image

김여주

Joohyun said, thrusting the cat plush toward Dongmin.

?

한동민 image

한동민

Kim Joohyun brings up cats at me whenever she gets the chance.

…No matter how I think about it, I don’t look like a cat;

Mm~

김여주 image

김여주

Then this one should be named Han Dongmin-

김여주 image

김여주

? Why are you using my name..

한동민 image

한동민

Because it looks like youㅎㅎ

김여주 image

김여주

…

한동민 image

한동민

Right, Dongmin~?

김여주 image

김여주

Joohyun held back a snicker and spoke to the cat plush.

…

한동민 image

한동민

Then this one’s name is Kim Joohyun

한동민 image

한동민

…What!?

김여주 image

김여주

Because it looks like you.

한동민 image

한동민

No way

김여주 image

김여주

What do you mean! I look like a monkey??

김여주 image

김여주

Yeah

한동민 image

한동민

That’s not it!!

김여주 image

김여주

Oh, your nostrils got bigger.

한동민 image

한동민

This one really looks like you though?

한동민 image

한동민

Dongmin held the monkey plush up beside Joohyun’s face as if to compare them.

Aaah-!! Seriously—

김여주 image

김여주

Joohyun freaked out and ran away.

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

한동민 image

한동민

Hey, aren’t you taking your clone with you?ㅋㅋ

한동민 image

한동민

Dongmin chased after Kim Joohyun.

…

..

.

Thud-thud..

For several minutes, we’d been circling around the neighborhood.

Going home felt awkward timing-wise, and the weather was nice too, so it wasn’t a bad day for a walk.

ㅎㅎ! That was fun, right?

…Uh,,

김여주 image

김여주

…

한동민 image

한동민

…Honestly, I didn’t want to let her go.

Hey, want some ice cream?

Whoa, totally.

한동민 image

한동민

…

김여주 image

김여주

We each got ice cream and headed to the playground inside the apartment complex.

We sat on the swings and gently rocked back and forth.

Hey, hey, look

When I was little, I was insanely good at swinging, you know?

김여주 image

김여주

Joohyun pushed off hard from the swing and flew forward on the rebound.

김여주 image

김여주

Whoosh-

Hey, hey, did you see? Did you see!?

Swinging on the swing, Joohyun flew up into the air.

김여주 image

김여주

Heh..ㅋㅋㅋ

Where all that energy came from, her excited face shone brightly.

한동민 image

한동민

Her hair, brushed by the wind, scattered around Kim Joohyun.

Her back as she rose over the sunset sky felt strangely familiar.

By the time I tried to remember what I’d forgotten for so long,

you had already suddenly appeared.

Dongmin-

You called my name.

김여주 image

김여주

And asked me first again.

What about you?

?

김여주 image

김여주

What is?

한동민 image

한동민

Going to the audition~

한동민 image

한동민

Ah

김여주 image

김여주

Kim Donghyun messed things up without a care, but

한동민 image

한동민

I guess I didn’t know what you thought about it..-

김여주 image

김여주

(even thinking about it now, that bastard Kim Donghyun should be ㅊ맞아..)

김여주 image

김여주

ㅎㅎ

한동민 image

한동민

When you said you’d do it, I was happy for you

김여주 image

김여주

…?

김여주 image

김여주

…Why were you

한동민 image

한동민

I was worried when you said you quit soccer

It was something you liked so much

김여주 image

김여주

Because it clearly wouldn’t be easy to let go

김여주 image

김여주

…

김여주 image

김여주

I’m glad you found it again

한동민 image

한동민

Found what..?

김여주 image

김여주

What you like

한동민 image

한동민

..

김여주 image

김여주

..What?

한동민 image

한동민

You don’t like it?

한동민 image

한동민

…I mean, what,,

김여주 image

김여주

Music, I mean, music!

한동민 image

한동민

Ah..-

김여주 image

김여주

Well..,

한동민 image

한동민

I don’t know if I’m good at it, or if I even like it…

한동민 image

한동민

It was just a way to escape, something I tried to forget instead of soccer

한동민 image

한동민

Is it right for me to say I like it?

I’d noticed this for a while,

Do you know your eyes sparkle a lot when you’re in front of something you like?

김여주 image

김여주

..?

김여주 image

김여주

Usually you look all indifferent and pouty

한동민 image

한동민

But when you sing, don’t your eyes get like twice as big?ㅋㅋ

김여주 image

김여주

(embarrassed)

김여주 image

김여주

When had she been watching that closely…

한동민 image

한동민

That means you like it,

That means you like it, idiot

김여주 image

김여주

…

김여주 image

김여주

Who’s the idiot here..

한동민 image

한동민

It’s not even funny,

Like this and like that, what do you even know so well?

I want to ask whether you’re really even looking at me, right in front of you.

Clack-

Han Dongmin pulled the swing rope Joohyun was sitting on toward himself.

Wobble-

!

The swing wobbled and was tugged tight in front of Dongmin’s swing.

김여주 image

김여주

Joohyun’s startled face met Han Dongmin’s eyes up close.

In his firm hand that was pulling her in, my swing rope was clenched.

…

…What, why..

한동민 image

한동민

I froze at Han Dongmin’s flustered behavior.

김여주 image

김여주

His eyes looked down at me, dark and intense.

Looking at those eyes made my spine twitch.

In my hand, the half-eaten ice cream bar was dripping.

The thick milky smell running down the stick dropped onto my hand, and then he opened his mouth.

What do I like

…
