The group of friends got inside the movies, sitting down next to each other. Izzy sat right at the start, which followed by Hyunjin sitting down next to her, then Hana and Seungmin, next to him Jeongin and then Amy, Laska and Felix, Christopher and Riley, Tessa and Jisung, Minho and Robin, and lastly Astran with Changbin.

As they all finally sat down, Hyunjin, Chris, Felix and Changbin gave everyone their popcorn as they were the ones carrying it the whole time, while Astran and the girls gave everyone their drinks.

"I am not sure if I took the right one," Hyunjin muttered, placing the popcorn for himself and Izzy between them.

"Anything is fine," Izzy smiled, taking a sip of her coke. "I think I will need another coke later though," she chuckled. "There's nothing better than a good coke."

"There's a caramel macchiato!" Riley exclaimed towards her, making Izzy question how the hell she heard their conversation from the other side.

"True," Izzy shrugged.

"Okay, yeah, we all know you two are obsessed with caramel macchiato, no need to yell it at the whole cinema," Amy in the middle shook her head. "Shut up so we don't get kicked out, alright?"

"Yes, ma'am," Izzy nodded, making the female scoff.

After all the ads for different upcoming movies, the film finally started and the group shut up, ready to watch it without their usual bickering or jokes.

Chris's hand rested on Riley's thigh as he carefully watched the movie. Unlike him though, she couldn't focus on the movie at all. She had her soulmate's hand on her thigh, his thumb carefully stroking her. Her mind was full of thoughts at the moment, but none of them were related to the movie. Her eyes were only focusing on her soulmate next to her. 

Changbin and Astran had a similar problem. Astran had his hand on Changbin's thigh, unlike Chris, only focusing on his partner and not the movie, while Binnie tried his best to not turn his head Astran's way and kiss him.

Not now, not now, not now, he repeated inside his head.

"Star," he whispered, putting his hand on Astran's. "Not now," he turned his head to face him. "What would Barbie say if she saw you now, huh?" He joked, making Astran chuckle. 

"I am not doing anything though," he argued. "I am just having my hand on my boyfriend's thigh, or is that forbidden?" They whispered into his ear, making sure no one else heard him. 

 "Astran," he started again, squeezing his hand. Astran shook his head, turning their head toward the screen to watch the movie, while their hand still rested on Changbin's thigh. Changbin sighed in relief, watching the boy next to him for a second before he turned to face the screen too. He really wanted to kiss him, but figured it was for the better to wait until they were alone again. 

Minho and Robin were sitting quietly, both of them pretending that the other one wasn't right next to them. The fact they were sharing one popcorn together definitely wasn't helping the situation, because somehow, they always managed to put their hands into the popcorn box at the same time. When it happened for the fourth time already, Minho decided to give up on wanting any snacks and left it all for Robin. It was better than the awkward hand touches that were happening until now in his opinion. 

Robin kept glancing at him while quietly eating (now) her popcorn and watching the movie. She was interested, and wanted to see what was happening on the screen, but for some reason, her eyes kept wandering to him, and it was making her even more confused about her feelings.

The two of them haven't talked much since they found out they were each other's soulmates. Actually, today, when they bumped into each other in front of the cinema was the first time when they had a proper conversation. It wasn't about anything important, but her mind kept going back to the moment because it was Minho who started the conversation. He was the first one to talk, and it surprised her. Even when they only texted through their soulmate connection, it was always Robin who started the conversation, so seeing him come up to her to have a small talk was attractive in her eyes. 

Jisung next to them, wasn't focusing on the film either, but had his eyes on the girl next to him, debating on if he could hold her hand or not. He wasn't sure what he was allowed to do and what not yet. They weren't dating, neither were they just friends though, and it was confusing to him. They texted every day and hung out as much as they could, but neither of them had made any move yet. 

Finally, he took a deep breath, reaching for Tessa's hand. The female's eyes widened at the sudden touch, but she didn't pull her hand away from him. Instead, she just smiled at him, squeezing his hand. "It's fine, you can hold my hand," she assured him after seeing the worry in his eyes. He nodded slightly, smiling like a little kid.  

Hana and Seungmin were holding hands since the moment they walked into the cinema, and it didn't change now. While still holding his hand, Hana rested her head on his shoulder, watching the movie. For the first time in a while, she felt comfortable enough with someone to fully believe him and to do those things. It wasn't anything big, just some physical touch, but it meant a lot to her.  

Seungmin smiled when she did so, not saying anything and just simply resting his head on top of hers.

"I didn't know you could be so soft," Hyunjin next to him whispered, with a sign of laughter in his tone of voice.

"Shut up," Seungmin rolled his eyes, ignoring any other comments he could possibly have. He wasn't going to get this moment ruined because of his stupid friend.
