I Became a Foreign Worker Loved by Transcendents

Chapter 75: Everything Was As Expected

After our meal, we headed to the theater, where we could use the tickets given by the vampire.

The building was so grand that it seemed ordinary citizens or foreign laborers weren't even allowed to step foot inside.

I was worried we might be turned away for not being nobility, but the doorman looked at us with deep reverence upon seeing our tickets.

"Please forgive the intrusion. You've been invited by the theater's main patron. Go right in."

I never would've guessed, but that vampire turned out to be the main patron.

Perhaps he had several false identities to operate in society.

It was no wonder he remained uncaught, despite being one of the most wanted criminals. As I pondered this, the usher guiding us to our seats smiled warmly at us.

"Are you a couple? I'll guide you to the couple's seats."

"What? No, well..."

"Then, without any hesitation."

"Merilyn?!"

"What's the harm? It means everyone sees us in a good light."

Merilyn said this, leading me by the hand to our seats.

Unable to shake off her hand, I reluctantly took my seat in the awkwardly intimate spot we were shown.

It almost seemed like a statement that screamed, "Look, we're a couple!"

"Do you dislike it?"

Merilyn asked me, noticing my discomfort with the situation.

Conflicted about how to respond, I eventually settled into my seat with a deep sigh.

"I'll accompany you just for tonight."

Yes, I had decided to devote tonight to Merilyn.

As we sat side by side, waiting for the lights in the theater to dim, Merilyn's voice faintly reached me through the darkness.

"I wish you could keep me company like this in the future, too."

Her voice faintly revealed her emotions.

I tried to ignore it, but I couldn't disregard the warmth of her hand as it intertwined with mine.

Quietly, I held her hand, focusing on making the most of our time together.

The streets buzzed with activity as we left the theater after the play.

In the street after watching the play.

While passersby exchanged their reviews or boarded carriages to go home, Merilyn turned to me with a look of anticipation.

"How was it for you, Hyo-sung? Did you enjoy the play?"

"Ahaha, well, I'm not really one for such things..."

Usually, people share their thoughts on the play with those they came with, but I suppose I was more accustomed to TV and movies, so the play didn't quite capture my attention.

When watching on TV, actors' faces were close-up, and dynamic effects were added, but sitting in the theater, all I could discern were the exaggerated actions and loudly delivered lines.

Losing interest from the start made it hard to immerse myself, and eventually, I found myself just looking around, disinterested...

In the end, all I remembered was Merilyn's face during the play.

"I'm sorry. Even though we watched it together, I couldn't view it as seriously as you, Merilyn."

Yes, unlike me, she watched the play very seriously.
