Episode 15. East-West couple, beginning of imprint (2)

I couldn’t be immersed in the movie next to Hyunwoo.

As I tried to concentrate, his hand crunched on the popcorn I had on my lap.

Again, his shoulder clinging to my shoulder, and the smell wafting up.

My head seemed to keep heating up.

‘Huh..’

Wanting to cool his head, he turned his gaze to the screen and reached for a drink that was draped over his middle armrest.

‘Where are the drinks…’

As I was fumbling to the right, my hand touched something warm.

“Uh..?”

The armrest was already up, the Coke was nowhere to be found, and my hand was on his bare skin.

Of course, wearing ripped jeans and exposed flesh near the knee.

“What, if you want to drink coke, you should have told me.”

He doesn’t mind, takes a Coke from his right armrest and puts a straw in his mouth.

I was startled and backed away from Hyeonu, taking my right hand off his knee.

“Mistress..”

“Oh, sorry.”

With that, I knocked over the person sitting to my left.

“hehehe, what are you so surprised about?”

“No, that’s not it… Sorry.”

“What is it? Oh my knees? Are you okay.”

Today, he makes a lot of mistakes.

Is it because of the air flow that looks special? Is this uncomfortable awkwardness hardening my body?

Hyeonu showed a reaction saying he was okay from a while ago.

No way… Do you like me?

For men, of course, these are unpleasant things. Accept it casually.

The truth is that he likes me, so maybe he wasn’t really in a bad mood?

Come to think of it, it seems that his face blushed when he blocked the basketball earlier…

Did you fall for my womanly side? That’s why you keep being so kind to me…

Well, I do have a cool side. He saved Hyun-woo from molesters, and he’s the head of the boxing club…

No, let’s not be mistaken.

I’ve known countless women in the meantime, and I’ve also seen women who mistake a simple favor for a crush.

Is it possible with just a favor? Although there were things I wanted to do… Hyeonu likes to make fun of me.

I don’t want to get awkward with Hyeonu for nothing.

Sometimes those words and actions sent to me could disappear in an instant.

When I thought about that, my heart hurt somewhere.

Okay, let’s not spoil it for nothing.

.

.

.

After watching the movie, it was already dinner time.

“Nuna, let’s have dinner together.”

Hyeonu speaks naturally, as if it were natural.

..At such actions, I keep getting mistaken.

I have to tell you. If you do this, you will be mistaken and think that you like me.

But other words came out of my mouth.

“Yes, let’s eat together.”

Why?

-Ah.. I see. I won’t do anything like this in the future.

Are you afraid of getting an answer like this?

Or were you afraid of being convinced that this was an illusion?

I don’t know.

.

.

.

I ate tonkatsu for dinner.

It’s a house that Hyeonu knows, and it was quite delicious.

As if he had been there several times, he ordered food with familiar gestures. Who did you come with? Alone? With my friends? Or… With another woman?

No, never mind.

What does it matter who you come with?

I felt like I was suddenly in a bad mood, but when I saw his face, I felt relieved.

The meal was enjoyable.

The food was delicious, and the conversation with him never stopped laughing.

And looking at his crescent-shaped eyes warms my heart.

Again…

“Sister, I buried the sauce here.”

“Huh? Where? Here?”

“No, here.”

-Sueuk

Hyeonu wipes the sauce off my mouth and brings it to his mouth. Do you really not know how much such behavior can make a woman tremble?

Sometimes I think I know it, but I also wonder if I don’t know if I’m making an innocent expression like now.

There was only one thing that bothered me about this perfect dining table, and what… The eyes.

I feel like I’ve been staring at you for a while…

“Sister? What’s wrong?”

“Huh? It’s just… I feel like the back of my head hurts…”

“hahahaha, I’m sure it’s because of my mood. There’s nothing behind it?”

I tried to turn my head, but stopped at his words.

No, let’s not worry about it. I don’t want to make Hyunwoo even worry.

I ignored my gaze and laughed and chatted with Hyeonu.

**

‘f*ck… f*ck.’

The identity of Seoyoon Choi’s eyes was Kim Donghyun’s.

Why was he looking at her and Hyunwoo Kang? The incident begins in a department store.

After entering the boxing club, Kim Dong-hyun was excited about the idea that he could get closer to his favorite senior, Choi Seo-yoon.

And I found Kang Hyeon-woo, who has a look that any woman can seduce, and who does skinship naturally.

Of course, he thought, ‘Since Choi Seo-yoon is different from her common Korean women, she will not fall for such a low number.’

But with such a handsome man next to him, he might not even pay attention to himself.

He decided to change in order to approach Choi Seo-yoon.

‘I have to change. I stay at home, and I don’t talk to anyone else. Anyone would hate a man like this…’

First of all, you have to get used to people. I need to fix this speechless personality, but in order to do that…

A place with a lot of people. Where is it?

A movie theater? No, it is still too much to buy a movie ticket alone and watch a movie with people.

So, a restaurant? Not even that. You have to yell at the clerk to order, and if the clerk isn’t at the counter, you have to call out – checkout. That’s what the insiders do.

A department store? Yes, it is a department store. If you just walk around, there are a lot of people, and it’s not burdensome.

Wear the usual black hoodie and sweatpants.

I put on my hat and headed to the department store.

‘What, it’s worth doing.’

At first, I was very nervous, but soon I became more comfortable with the fact that no one cared about me.

Then I heard a woman’s voice. The voice of my favorite boxing team leader at the academy.

I stopped on the spot.

I think it’s on the left. Shall we go and say hello? Will you accept

No, we’re not that friendly.

But wouldn’t it be okay to say hello? Ask what they are buying, and if you are lucky, they may come with you.

And the things I thought about today. Cinemas, restaurants. There may be people who see us as a couple.

With her, I am not afraid of movie theaters or restaurants.

“Hey.. Boo-“

Turn to her left, let’s try to call her-

I saw her talking with Hyeonu Kang with a smile on her face as if she were having fun.

She wore a fashion that looked cool and cool, but her eyes were only on Hyeonu Kang.

“Heo-eok, hee-yeok.”

I hid myself without realizing it.

Why? Why are you two together on the weekend?

Why are you laughing and talking like you’re having fun?

She said, “Hyunwoo, these are the gloves-” And chatted excitedly. Hyeonu Kang looked at him with his signature sinister smile.

You unlucky bastard. A baby like a lamb. A slut. I hope the basketballs piled on top of his head will hit him.

-Rush!

At that time, I really saw a basketball fall on Kang Hyeon-woo’s head. Did you listen to me

“Hyunwoo!!”

At the same time, the manager blocked Hyeonu Kang from above.

The two looked at each other for a while with one hand on Hyeonu Kang’s chest and the other next to his head.

‘Quickly get your hands off of me. Manager, you don’t like bullies like that..’

My voice couldn’t get out of my mouth.

A little while later, the manager hurriedly got up and the situation was over, but the discomfort remained with me.

.

.

.

Their next destination was the cinema.

I was trying to put into practice what I had only imagined.

‘Huh?’

Suddenly, Hyeonu Kang took the manager’s arm and put his arm around mine.

What are you doing without keeping your distance? Isn’t that usually uncomfortable?

When I looked at her manager, she was stiff, and she was holding her arm.

…And on her beautiful face, a slight blush bloomed.

The moment I saw it, my world seemed to collapse.

.

.

.

As if bewitched, I bought a movie ticket and followed them.

They glanced at each other even during the movie.

The manager even put his hand on Hyeonu Kang’s flesh.

After seeing the general manager startled, I left the theater because I had no confidence to watch it any more.

“Woo-wook..”

I vomited in the bathroom for a long time. The sight of it makes me sad, and a sticky sense of helplessness overtakes me at the scene in the movie theater.

My tears fall into the toilet water.

Are you a lover? Were you already in love?

No, it can’t be. Because the manager is not that kind of person.

Even if you date someone, nothing will change. This must have been the result of tricking the good general manager with clever tricks.

The helplessness subsides, and the anger toward Kang Hyeon-woo soars.

“Wait.. I will save you…”

I hear people talking. Is the movie over?

“Follow.. I have to go..”

I don’t know what else Kang Hyeon-woo will do.

You must protect the pure manager.

We must save him from that vicious beast.

.

.

.

The two headed to the restaurant.

I watched them from the window.

The laughter never stopped, and the blush on the manager’s face didn’t disappear either.

She was smiling genuinely amused.

Suddenly, she tried to turn her head in my direction.

‘Here I am. Manager.’

I want you to come to me first. So, I wish I could interrupt their meal.

But her head stopped. Just a word from Hyunwoo Kang.

When I suddenly see myself reflected in the glass, I look so shabby.

A skinny body with messy hair.

On the other hand, Hyeonu Kang has solid muscles, blonde hair that goes well with his look, and a cool smile.

The two in a warm atmosphere, and me just looking at them from a distance.

I was so miserable that I left.

“Why.. You are there, not me.. I like it more..”

I try to talk to the air.

But there was no reply.

‘I should have just… Not come out.’
