The inside of the movie theater was, of course, dark.
There weren't many people because the movie had a long running time.
It was also because it was midday on a weekday.
Alan and I sat in the center seat, quietly watching the movie.
Alan tossed and turned several times because the chair was uncomfortable.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen him sit in one spot for a lengthy period of time, even in class.
I took a sip of my drink and slid it into my seat.
Alan, who was staring at me with his arm resting on the middle armrest, raised his chin and pointed to my drink.
“Give it to me too.”
“…”
You’ve already drunk all of yours!
I muttered to myself as I handed my drink to him.
He didn’t even look embarrassed as he sipped through the straw that I had in my mouth.
He returned it to me once he was finished.
I thought he would ask for another drink, so I put the drink in the center of us.
I was holding a bucket of popcorn.
Alan said he doesn’t eat popcorn when he watches movies.
I wasn’t able to eat much because I was also full.
Soon, the movie came out after the advertisement that was coming out day and night.
I watched the movie curled up like a loser because Alan took both armrests.
I was unable to concentrate. Because…
“…”
“…”
When I finished a drink and set it down, Lim Alan grabbed it and put it into his mouth.
I thought it was a coincidence at first, but when I got into the middle of the movie, I tried it on purpose, and sure enough, he put it in his mouth right away.
I don’t think he was hungry…
As the film drew closer to its climax, I ended up grabbing my head.
Alan seemed to have purposefully drunk all of his drinks before the movie began to use my straw and abruptly took what was mine.
I’m certain of it because I’m not stupid.
Then I realized why there wasn’t any skinship.
He could do it if he worked hard enough, but I’m not sure why he was only doing an indirect kiss.
I sneak a glance at Alan while covering my face with both hands.
I moved my gaze slowly toward Alan.
It turns out he was staring at me, not the movie.
When our eyes met, I hurriedly avoided him, but Alan held my hand.
Then he slowly climbed up, grabbed my wrist, and put it on the armrest together.
It felt more strange than holding hands.
It was stimulating that Alan’s hot hands slowly climbed up and wrapped around my wrist.
Maybe the perv was me, not him. It couldn’t have been this agonizing.
We went to a cafe together after watching the movie.
It was the cafe where Alan and I first came together.
