movie theater [m.y]

chapter three

and then it hit me.

-

I wake up in the morning and quickly brush my teeth, fix my hair, change out of my clothes, and was about to leave the house but then my mom came in the way.

"Kim, where are you going right now? Do you know it's eleven o'clock? You usually sleep till three in the afternoon in the summer.."

My mom had to get to work soon so rather than paying much attention to me, she was just trying to find where she placed all her belongings.

"I'm headed to my friends house, they're all hanging out today so see you later!"

I mumbled and rush out the door so she wouldn't proceed to ask more questions.

-

I finally arrived and run into the warm theater.

I only wore a T-shirt because I wasn't paying any attention to the whether and I didn't have the chance to grab my jacket while my mom was questioning why I was leaving the house.

I look around for a bit until I noticed the mint hair from a distance and briskly walked towards the boy.

There was no line this morning because usually everyone comes during the night, so I finally had the chance to communicate with the boy.

He was scrolling through his phone, not really paying much attention towards me so I, an awkward piece of shit, decided to initiate the conversation.

"Hey, uh-" My eyes wander around his torso looking for his name tag.

"Hey yoongi! Do you remember me?"

He looks up from his phone and stares at my face blankly then goes back to scrolling down his phone.

"Yeah, what movie would you like to watch?"

"Movie? Oh, I'm actually here because I wanted to get to know you better.." I say nervously while tapping my fingers on the counter.

"-and maybe become friends?" I added.

He looked away from his phone again and looked besides me without looking at my face.

"Don't you think this is wrong place to make friends?"

He was squinting and looking next to me, but still not at me.

I was going to explain myself but he spoke again.

"I mean- You can make friends at a movie theater, but isn't it a bit strange to try to have a conversation with someone who's working and has a busy line at the moment?"

I turn around and sighed realizing there was a big line behind me then looked back at yoongi, who was finally looking at me again.

"Well, maybe we can get some food after this? When is your lunch break?"

"I would but-"

"Can you hurry the fuck up? I can get you fired you know! I have been waiting in line for ten minutes and this same girl still hasn't gotten her movie ticket!"
