"You can't back out now. You promised that we'll go together." Sihmin whines for the umpteenth time on the phone.
"I'm really sorry, Mina. I'll make it up to you some other time. Take someone else with you. Ask Jaehyuk or Yedam. They'll agree for sure." Hyunsuk gives suggestion only to agitate her more.
"You're such a bitvh. You know well, almost everyone's spending this weekend with their family." Fortunately for Hyunsuk, they were on the phone call otherwise it would've been his neck and Sihmin's hands by now.
"Then is it my fault if mine also ended up summoning me, darling?" He tries to sweet talk his way out but to his dismay.
"Shut up loser! Don't you dare talk to me again." Without listening to the older one's pleads any longer, Sihmin hangs up the call.
"Think, Mina, think. You can't miss the last show." Sihmin bites her lower lip out of stress.
The plan to watch the recently premiered movie of her favorite actor already got delayed because of the final exams. She couldn't afford to lose the last opportunity as well. After thinking for a minute, she dials a different number this time.
"You free, baby?"
"Let's go to cineplox then."
"Yes, yes! Right now please!"
"Thanks baby that's why you're my favorite." Ending the call, she expresses her excitement with a little dance and starts getting ready.
Sihmin makes her way outside once she hears the honking of a car. Closing the door, she goes out of the main gate only to see three guys waiting for her instead of one.
"What are both of you doing here?" She questions Yoshi and Jeongwoo who were enthusiastically waving at her.
"We are here to pick you up and go to the mall." Jeongwoo squeals in excitement. Sihmin squints her eyes in suspicion as Junghwan was the only one supposed to accompany her for today.
"Junghwan was going with us at the first place. So now you're tagging along too. What could be better than watching the movie together?" Yoshi clarifies what Jeongwoo said and sits in the driver's seat.
"I call shotgun!" Jeongwoo shouts and enters the passenger seat.
Sihmin throws a look at Junghwan while the latter only shrugs it off focusing more on sulking for Jeongwoo's seat. Sihmin sighs, not making a big deal out of the surprise plan and enters the backseat.
"Not fair. I wanted the front seat." Junghwan whines in high pitch.
"Let's get going. You can fight with him later, Junghwan ." Junghwan pouts and enters the backseat as Yoshi starts the engine.
"Stop sulking. We would've gotten late because of your quarrels." Yoshi tries to console the pouting youngest.
"Besides we've to pick Haruto on the way as well. We don't have time to spare at all." Jeongwoo adds only for Sihmin to choke on air.
"What?" She voices out causing the younger boys to look at her in confusion.
"What? What?" Jeongwoo asks, turning his head behind.
"Who are- who are we picking up again?" Sihmin chuckles out of nervousness not wanting it to be the person she tried to avoid the whole week.
"Your boyfriend. He's tagging along too. Guess he didn't tell you about it." Jeongwoo mumbles the last sentence under his breath not wanting to be the reason of discord among the couple.
Meanwhile Sihmin glares at Yoshi through the rearview mirror causing him to snicker. Yoshi knew well about the misunderstanding going on between them but he wanted them to sort it out as soon as possible. Why? Because he liked Sihmin, not only as a friend but for Haruto as well.
•••
"Coming with you people was a bad idea." Sihmin catches up with Yoshi's steps and whispers.
Haruto was behind them, conversing with Junghwan and Jeongwoo but his cold gaze was still on Sihmin making the situation awkward for the only girl among them.
"You got an opportunity to spend time with your boyfie. Be thankful." Yoshi smirks, feeling satisfied by Sihmin's reaction.
"Thankful my ass! He's clearly holding a grudge against me for slapping Nori." Sihmin shudders at the thought of facing Haruto's unjustified rage. The boy didn't even say a word to her since joining them. Obviously, she was guilty according to what he witnessed.
"But you didn't even slap her." Yoshi leans towards her and mutters.
"Only you know that, no one else." Sihmin never cared about what others thought of her. But this time it was different. She didn't like the way Haruto accused her that day without giving her a chance to speak. Would it be right for her to say that his words hurt her?
"Like I said-" "Stop flirting with my girlfriend, hyung." Haruto interrupts the two and wraps his arm around Sihmin's shoulders causing the girl to freeze.
"Yeah right!" Yoshi replies sarcastically and continues to walk with Jeongwoo and Junghwan leaving the pretend couple behind.
"Are you going to move or will I have to carry you?" Sihmin's eyes get wide while her cheeks redden. She begins to move hastily while the boy beside her chuckles, matching her footsteps.
"Got the tickets." Jeongwoo raises three tickets in front of the group once they enter cineplox.
"Where are the others?" Haruto asks with a raised brow.
"I have them." Sihmin takes them out of her sling bag and hands them to Jeongwoo as she had already bought them for Hyunsuk and herself.
"So what are we wait-" "Wait a minute!" Jeongwoo interrupts Yoshi mid sentence while everybody gives him a questioning look.
"Two seats are in row K while three are in row E. It means we can't sit together." Jeongwoo states as a matter of fact causing them to huff in annoyance.
"Let's just divide then. Two of us can sit together, the other three can sit together." Yoshi shrugs not bothered much by it.
"I'll sit with Yoshi." "I'll sit with Sihmin." Sihmin and Haruto shouts simultaneously then shares a glance. Sihmin didn't want to sit with Haruto as she was already feeling perplexed because of him.
"Then you three can sit in row E." Jeongwoo points towards the older three who wished to sit together.
"No thank you! I don't want to be a third wheel." Yoshi dashes behind Jeongwoo and Junghwan drawing a line between them and the couple.
"Okay then you two will sit together while us single pringles will sit together." Junghwan announces while Yoshi passes a smug look to Sihmin.
"But!" Sihmin raises her voice to protest. She knew Haruto was only insisting on sitting with her so he could get a chance to insult her without any hindrance.
"What?" Junghwan asks but she decides to speak against it. Just for her own reasons, she couldn't let their friends be suspicious of them.
"Nothing." She replies with a half hearted smile meanwhile Haruto catches her expression. He locks his left arm with Sihmin's right one.
"Wanted to sit with Yoshi hyung instead of your own boyfriend? I'm hurt, Lee Sihmin." Sihmin scrunches her nose because of Haruto's clingy behavior and tries to free her arm only for him to tighten his grip.
"I might end up having a movie made on me at this rate." Sihmin thinks and gives up with a sigh, following them inside the theatre.
