Exams were gladly out of the scene and Youngsoon was thrilled to sleep peacefully and spend undefined free time with her best friends but her wish for meeting them first thing in the day after the examinations was flushed down the drain when she discovered both of them already arranged meets with other people. They promised her they would definitely hang out another day but, nevertheless, Youngsoon sulked like a baby although she didn't want to ruin their plans. So now she was contemplating if she was still open to the idea of doing an activity of relaxation with someone or go back to sleep after the fatiguing preparations for the exams. Then, she thought she craved for movies; she had missed the premiere dates of the new productions and she, beyond any doubt, didn't want to stay in her room watching the movies she could download within minutes. The girl was in big need of a change of place.

''I already agreed to an offer for a coffee with someone. Sorry, sis.'' Yunhee sounded sympathetic on the other line of the phone. This stirred some chariness in her younger sibling; the older girl never said ''someone'' or ''somebody'' in her sentences. She always defines the person she talks about and when she dropped one of these words out loud, it meant something was going on, something secretive.

''And who's that someone, may I ask?''

''Aren't you a curious one?'' It was out of character for Yunhee to avoid the question easily. But she granted permission to her sister to be reserved. After all, Youngsoon attempted to conceal her own secret herself and failed. She could do at least that much for her older sister.

''Fine. I'll see if anyone else is willing to go with me.''

''All right. Be careful.''

Youngsoon ceased the call with Yunhee and went to search through the contacts on her phone all the people that were on her radar and were likely to be available. Her eyes stopped at Chihoon's name. She felt edgy right away; lately, the two weren't able to speak to each other properly. Whenever she approached him, the guy always made an excuse to walk past her or faked not hearing her. Youngsoon couldn't quite get what she did wrong in order for him to distance himself from her. She asked herself if it was a good time to call him. Texts would minimize the pressure she was in but she was reluctant to the very idea of contacting him. She opted to skip him for now, at the same time wishing she didn't come up to his name again if she didn't find anyone else who could be her potential buddy for the movie.

The second her eyes landed on Eunjung's name, her eyes enlarged fast as a lightning. Without much consideration, she pressed her number as she smiled, imagining the latter's admirable voice. Youngsoon had never seen Eunjung until that day but she called and texted her every day, the first time was the same day when she identified the blonde at the dentist's with Chihoon following her. She found her even more friendly and they couldn't stop typing out hilarious lines or jokes to one another. The female's downcast mood from the prepping for the exams always brightened whenever Eunjung's name flashed on the phone. Now she was able to await the blonde girl's messages and phone calls much more.

''Hello?''

'''Hey, am I interrupting you right now?''

''No. Wassup?'' Youngsoon's face flushed when she heard a cute laugh delivered to her ears.

''It's been a while since I've watched a movie in the theater but I don't know which movie I would like to see so I need someone to recommend me one.''

''There's ''Interstellar'' which stars George Clooney and it's about astronauts. It's one of the most brilliant movies I've ever seen. Then there's the animation ''The Penguins'' - a spin-off of ''Madagascar''. If you're into science fiction, ''The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part One'' is out. ''Dumb and Dumber'' is super funny and ''Big Hero 6'' is just incredible.''
