Author's POV
After bumping into Yohan, Jiyeol wanted to enjoy the day to the fullest. They were shopping for at least an hour. Honestly, it was really just Jiyeol shopping and Hyeongjun following her.

"Hyeongjun-ah, which one looks cuter?" Jiyeol asks, holding two pieces of clothing. One was red and the other one was yellow.

The boy thought for a moment and decided. "The yellow one."

Jiyeol smiles in agreement and puts back the red one. She walks towards the counter and paid for it, obviously using her own money.

"Jiyeol-ah, do you use your own money in shopping?" Hyeongjun curiously asks.

In their school, only the richest people can get in. Of course, their skills must also be on a very high level. The tuition is expensive in their school, so it's hard to believe that you go there if you aren't rich. Unless you're a scholar, it's almost impossible to enroll in their school.

So of course Hyeongjun is curious if a rich person like Jiyeol spends her own money.

Jiyeol smiles and shakes her head. She looks at Hyeongjun deeply, causing him to blush. Internally, Jiyeol was screaming.

What are you doing!!

"I would like to, but I can't. This money is from my uncle from Australia. That's why I want to have a stable profession." Jiyeol managed to blurt out in her normal face expression.

But Hyeongjun wasn't listening. At that moment, when their eyes met, both fell for each other a little bit more.

1:43 p.m

After even more shopping, the movie they were going to watch was about to start. It was still early and both of them realized their mistake.

They started the date too early.

It was totally not the author's fault.

They went inside the movie theater with their popcorn and sodas. They chose the seats at the middle and turned off their phones.

The movie they were watching was a horror movie. Fortunately, both of them love watching horror movies, though they do get scared from the unpredictable jump scares.

"Hey Hyeongjun, do you like horror movies?" Jiyeol asks. Her interest in horror movies made her curious to know if Hyeongjun liked them too.

But what made her shock herself was her hesitance. Why was she hesitating? There's nothing wrong with hesitating.

"U-um y-yeah I guess." Hyeongjun stutters. He looks the other way and mentally slaps himself.

You're embarrassing, Hyeongjun.

His heart was beating fast. A little blush went up to his cheeks.

Where did you're confidence go?

He sighs. He  continued watching the previews.

The movie theater isn't too full, but it isn't empty either. There were a lot of teens, and there were some couples who looked like they really wanted to do those things in movies and books.

Where the girl gets scared and stuff.

After a few more previews, the movie finally started. It began with a strong storm and a car.

This is like the usual.

Jiyeol thinks and proceeds to watch. The movie was little boring for Jiyeol, and for Hyeongjun..
