Is that the new beginning?

A Night to Remember

These days, Woo Seok and Hye Yoon found themselves caught up in their hectic schedules, making it difficult to see each other as often as they liked. Despite this, they never lost touch. Woo Seok always made it a point to message first, checking if Hye Yoon was available to talk while she was shooting. Their brief conversations brightened both their days, asking each other simple questions about meals and work, and sharing the small moments that kept their connection alive.

"Hey, did you have lunch yet?" Woo Seok texted.

"Not yet, just wrapped up a scene. You?" Hye Yoon replied.

"Already did. Had some bibimbap. What are you planning to eat?"

"Thinking about Tonkatsu. Quick and easy."

"Just like you, always in a hurry. Make sure to eat well."

"Haha Okay. How's your shoot going?"

"It's busy, but manageable. Can't wait for it to be over so I can see you."

Hye Yoon chuckled and said "Me too. Let's plan something soon."

Woo Seok wanted to attend Hye Yoon's fan meeting but was concerned about maintaining their privacy. Instead, he sent a beautiful bouquet of flowers to congratulate her. Hye Yoon posted a picture of his flowers alongside those from her fans on her Instagram, a subtle nod to their relationship.

"How was the fan meeting?" Woo Seok asked over the phone.

"It was amazing! Your flowers were such a lovely surprise. Thank you, oppa," Hye Yoon said excitedly.

"I'm glad you liked them. I wish I could've been there."

"Me too. But it's probably for the best."

"I really want to see you. How about I come over now?" Woo Seok suggested.

"Oppa, it's almost midnight! And we both have early shoots tomorrow," Hye Yoon laughed.

"So what? I can bring snacks, and we can pull an all-nighter."

"As tempting as that sounds, we need our sleep. How about we plan something for the weekend?"

"Alright, you win. But I'm holding you to that. Saturday, then?"

"Saturday it is. I'm looking forward to it already."

Finally, they found a day when both were free and planned a movie date. Hye Yoon loved horror thrillers, while Woo Seok preferred rom-coms. For Hye Yoon's sake, they decided to watch a horror movie they both had yet to see, "Exhuma." Woo Seok picked up Hye Yoon, and she happily hopped into his car. They drove to a quiet spot near the river, setting up for a cozy movie night inside the car. The dark interior added to the horror movie vibe.

"I can't believe people enjoy watching this," Woo Seok said nervously.

"It's fun, oppa! And besides, you have me here to protect you," Hye Yoon laughed.

"I think I might need that protection sooner than I thought. Why did it have to be a horror movie?"

"Because you promised, remember? You're the one who insisted we watch something I like."

"Right, I did. But next time, we're watching a rom-com. No arguments."

"Deal. But for now, try to enjoy this, okay?"

They teased each other and shared snacks, making the atmosphere light and fun despite the scary movie. Woo Seok's constant glances at Hye Yoon made her laugh, and she couldn't help but tease him for being so scared.

"Oppa, you look like you're about to bolt out of the car," Hye Yoon teased after a particularly loud jump scare.

"I'm considering it. Seriously, how do you not get scared?"
