» 𝐬𝐲𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐢𝐬: reserved university student cora struggles to grasp onto the values and ideas of her biggest dream;
falling in love.
her unfortunate past has continued to linger with her until the present day, making it difficult for her to mak...
that's what it felt like when we were close to the end of the movie. at my house, it was me falling asleep in jeongguk's strong hold. now this time, it was jeongguk lulling to sleep in my arms.
as distracting as it was having a huge man beginning to snore in your consoling embrace, i tuned him out to pay close attention to the last couple minutes of the film; kat's iconic poem about her hunk of a 'boyfriend', patrick.
"i hate the way you talk to me and the way you cut your hair,
i hate the way you drive my car, i hate it when you stare.
i hate your big dumb combat boots and the way you read my mind,
i hate you so much it makes me sick, it even makes me rhyme.
i hate the way you're always right, i hate it when you lie,
i hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry.
i hate it when you're not around and the fact that you didn't call.
but mostly, i hate the way i don't hate you, not even close.
not even a little bit.
not even at all."
"oh no, poor kat..." i sympathised to myself, my hand beginning to thread through jeongguk's hair as if he was the one who needed comforting.
"mmm feels nice, keep going." the boy suddenly murmured into my stomach, throwing his leg over my right one as his arm curled around my waist.
"alright." i chuckled, keeping the fact i was wholly endeared by his tender behaviour discreet.
i could feel jeongguk smile into my torso as i continued to massage his head, casual hums of bliss leaving his mouth. i wasn't entirely bothered with him beginning to pass out, since he was the one who's already seen the whole film, not me.
and just like that, the end credits of the movie began to roll. i leant up and reached for the remote that lay rested on my lap to turn the volume down, not ceasing my hand movements on jeongguk's fluffy head of hair.
"that movie was so cute... bianca was kinda a bitch but she was fine in the end. i love kat though, she's so real to me. maybe because i relate to her in some ways," i rambled on, voicing my opinions to myself at this point, but jeongguk made little 'mhm' noises as he listened, "i'm glad they made up at the end though, they honestly look nice together."
