he was going to flip soon. although it was quite late at night and there wasn’t any traffic, he could feel each minute drag on like it was an hour as his manager drove him to the cinema. he had insisted on commuting, since he was confident enough not to be noticed. but after a recent incident, he was basically being chaperoned everywhere. he checked his wristwatch constantly, watching as the seconds turned into minutes.
“hyung, i swear i can--”
“no,” was the definitely answer.
after a few times, jaeeun didn’t try. he thought of charming the older with some aegyo but knowing jaeeun for a few years would make most people immune to his tricks. so he sat silently. after a few more minutes, they pulled over at a less crowded space in the mall. he about ran to the cinema. up the escalator, through various shops and past people. when he reached the ticketing booth, there was a couple before him who kept debating over which movie to watch.
he extended his patience for a bit more. and when it was his turn, he chose the movie and got his ticket immediately. the cashier seemed to have recognized him but didn’t react so strongly which he appreciated. once he was done getting his ticket, he bought some popcorn and cola and ran inside the moie theatre since the movie was starting in a few minutes. he didn’t notice the empty seats or that only one person was there. he just took a random seat in the middle where he could see the screen.
