Our Life

Movie Date

Yerin has the bucket of popcorn and two cokes with her. She is waiting at the exact entrance they met on their first date. It has been a long time since the last theatre date airing they had out for their most anticipated movie. She wants to experience it again since the previous date was at home.

Even though the lobby is not crowded, the low brightness still makes it difficult for humans to distinguish a face from a face as soon as the hall is open. Sowon scans the hall to find Yerin before she enters. A cold sensation touches her neck causing her to turn around, showing that her lover is behind her with the combo set of popcorn.

Sowon can only smile at her childlike partner and take over the cold drinks from her. Yerin wipes her hand dry and takes out her phone, ready to show the proof of e-tickets she purchased online.

There are only a few people this late night seated in front of them since they buy the seats nearest to the exit in the last row. It is easier for them to escape faster to avoid undesirable events.

Sowon is very attracted to the movie, and Yerin knows that the sub-genre of the movie is a horror film and that there will be many supernatural elements in it. Her face is hidden in her palms, but a very small gap allows her to peek at it.

With the peripheral view of the Sowon, she laughs a little and takes down the hand of Yerin and soon the latter hide behind the tall giraffe. "I'd tell you we can choose another, why do you insist on this?"

"Because you love it" she whispers and keeps her head still behind her fiancee.

They exit the hall as the credits begin rolling out before the wall lamp lights up. Dumping the trash into the designated bin, Sowon holds Yerin's hand as usual as she drives here. Walk past the lobby to the parking lot. It reminds her of the first time they held hands.

Their first movie date is the weekend after Sowon confessed to Yerin's attempts to try out whether the relationship would work or just her physical attraction despite the entertainer being flutter since they first met.

Almost a similar time and situation now, Sowon was walking beside Yerin. Looking at the sky was snowing, Yerin asked the actress how she came today. Sowon was not paying attention as she dug in her bag to take her umbrella, and pointed in the direction where her car was parked. And later on the model and colour, she answered as Yerin asked, and remembered that she forgot it in the car.

She wanted to tell Yerin her idea of having coffee or a walk in the building while waiting for the snow to stop. The actress felt the strong grip of the entertainer and in another second she was running together in the snow to their car. Sowon could not react well at the moment and flushed hard until they stopped in front of the car Sowon had answered Yerin.

"Here we are," despite the cheeky chubby cheeks she had to give the winsome smile urging someone to squish it, Sowon was staring at the still holding hands, her face was redder than before.

With no response from the actress, Yerin realized that she was still holding the hand and the owner looked like Rudolph's nose in the winter blinking her eyes and staring at her.

"I-I'm sorry about that."

"Oh, it's nothing. Let's get in the car."

It fell into dead silence making the awkwardness thicken the air. The heating system was functioning well and the redness infected the others too. Both of them were too embarrassed and did not dare to look to the other side.

"I ... Erm ..." Yerin was screwing her brain to chop off the awkwardness between them, even the sentence she formed inside sounded isn't helpful and illogical at all, " Your hand is so soft and priceless ... and irreplaceable ... erm and unique too" "So... I need to do it for an experiment ... Erm... Not that, I mean I need to protect them well" The entertainer just couldn't look into the actress directly now. Geez, Yerin do you know what you are talking about now?

"Unique? Experiment?" Sowon was questioned. "Ah, yes, yes ... To check whether my heart is doing well ... ... I know it, I know it. I just want to hold your hands" With a curious look at Sowon, Yerin gave up. Not caring about her image at all, she pulled down her beanie until it covered her eyes and tried to mentally escape the car. Even a second would help ease her mind.

Sowon, Yerin had done her part, is your turn now

The cherries faded away reunion Sowon's cheeks as Yerin blurted out her real intention. All things that happened in a short time had glued her brain to process the flow smoothly.

While Yerin still did not want to face the actress now, counting time to wait for her reaction.

One second...

Five inches...

Two seconds...

Three inches...

Three seconds ...

*Grip

The lump of rock became the party popper as she felt the soft warm hand intertwined with hers. Yerin adjusts her beanie and finally takes a look at the actress. Sowon was still in her awkward look but not denser as minutes ago.

"Yo-Your soft hands need protection too."
