Chapter 63: The First Acquaintance
After the two exchanged names, they suddenly fell into an awkward silence, as if they didn't know how to continue the topic, and for a while the two invariably turned their attention back to the movie.
Just when Kim Taeyeon was bored with the clip without Kang Dong-won, suddenly a paper bucket was handed to her.
"High school student, do you eat?"
Hearing the voice next to him, Kim Taeyeon was suddenly stunned for a moment, and turned her head to look at the other party in surprise.
"Didn't yours sow?"
She saw the other party pointing to the popcorn all over the ground under her original seat next to her, remembering her hurried and panicked behavior just now, she couldn't help but shake her head a little shyly and refused: "Thank you, no need." ”
"It's okay, I'll send you."
Kim Ho-woo said as he stood up.
"You're leaving? Don't watch it? ”
Kim Taeyeon watched the other party's behavior a little stunned.
"Hmm... This film is a bit boring and not suitable for watching at night, the popcorn is left for you, and I'm leaving. ”
"No way!"
Kim Taeyeon didn't know what to think, and suddenly raised her leg and stepped on the back of the seat in front of her, blocking the other party's way out.
"You can't go!"
"Why?"
Seeing Kim Ho-woo looking at himself with an inexplicable expression, Kim Taeyeon couldn't help but shrink her body, and said in a slightly weak tone: "Although you don't like this movie and you fell asleep before, you should stick to watching it since you spent money." ”
"You're upset because I don't support your boyfriend?"
Hearing the other party's ridiculous tone, Kim Taeyeon choked slightly, she did have such an angry mind, otherwise she would not have deliberately teased the other party to get angry before, but now she just felt that it seemed better to have someone next to her than to look at it alone.
And the strange thing is that before Kim Taeyeon could say anything, the other party actually dispelled the idea of leaving and sat back down.
"Uncle, why are you watching the movie alone?"
Kim Taeyeon, who was originally a little scared of life, surprisingly took the initiative to speak, probably because she thought that the other party was harmless, which made her think that this person who seemed to feel a little silly seemed to be funny.
"I'm not an uncle... I'm only 19 years old. ”
Jin Haoyu twitched his cheeks and said helplessly.
"19 years old... Uncle, are you a college student? ”
"College students who dropped out, to be exact."
"Drop out?! Why? ”
Kim Taeyeon saw that the plot had entered a stage where she was not interested again, so she turned her attention to a casual conversation with the other party.
"Because something happened to my family, I couldn't afford to pay the tuition, so I had to drop out."
Kim Taeyeon listened to the other party's flat statement, as if she was saying that I had a bowl of soup and rice today, and talking about a commonplace trivial matter.
But sensitive, she unexpectedly tasted the helplessness and bitterness in it, no matter who gave up her studies because of this kind of problem, it was very painful and unwilling.
Kim Taeyeon looked at the man with a calm expression, the dim environment made her unable to see the other party's face clearly, but she seemed to read an inexplicable sadness, loneliness and decline from those shining eyes...
So that's what he does...
She suddenly vaguely understood why she didn't reject each other, because in the middle of the night, two people with similar feelings chose a similar way of repatriation, and unexpectedly met in this empty and lonely small space.
They are the same kind, at least at this moment, because they are also weak people who will only choose to lick their wounds silently after being injured Kim Taeyeon thought so.
"So which university are you from?"
Kim Taeyeon suddenly smiled and asked, at this time she was not at all like herself in her usual life, but a bit like her good friend Huang Miying, enthusiastic and cheerful.
She knows that whenever she is down, as long as the other party finds out, she will smile happily and enlighten her and encourage her.
Today she inexplicably wanted to do the same to this stranger, because she knew that it was as if she had been abandoned by the whole world
It sucks!
"Berklee College of Music."
"You studied music?!"
Kim Taeyeon looked at the other party's appearance of five big and three thick, and asked in disbelief.
"Are you biased against people who study music?"
Jin Haoyu didn't understand why the other party's reaction was so big, and asked strangely.
"No, I admire people who are good at music, what are you studying?"
"Music production and recording engineering, songwriting, this is my specialty."
"So you're a composer?"
Kim Taeyeon glanced at Kim Ho-woo in surprise, but she didn't expect that a stranger she casually met turned out to be a person in the same field as herself.
"I'm not a composer, I haven't even found a job, and I just got rejected for an interview during the day."
Kim Taeyeon watched the other party unconsciously begin to confide in her troubles, and after whispering in her heart, she listened carefully, and occasionally echoed from time to time.
Kim Taeyeon subconsciously raised her hand to eat popcorn while chatting with Kim Ho-woo, but the two strangers who had just met began to vent their bitterness on each other as if they had been friends for many years.
After Kim Ho-woo finished talking about his experience of being forced to drop out of school, Kim Tae-yeon took the initiative to talk about the boredom and depression of his practice life, and after listening to it, Kim Ho-woo began to describe his painful life of practicing taekwondo every day since he was a child, and Kim Taeyeon began to describe that she was excluded and isolated because of her personality and singing skills...
For a while, the two seemed to have started a miserable meeting, and they took turns to tell their unbearable experiences.
Unconsciously, the two no longer looked at the big screen that had been showing, but kept chatting with each other, sometimes even waving their arms to express their anger.
It wasn't until the dim screening room suddenly lit up that the two people, stimulated by the light of the lights, noticed that the movie was over.
"I'm sorry to affect your watching movie."
Kim Taeyeon looked at Kim Ho-woo's embarrassed expression, and opened her mouth heartily and smiled, "It's okay, I'm in a much better mood thanks to you." ”
"Don't you like Kang Dong-won very much?"
"Well, that's right, I'll look at it again when I get a chance in the future."
Kim Taeyeon said nonchalantly that the person she met today was much more interesting than a movie she missed.
"Are you going back now?"
Kim Taeyeon nodded after seeing Kim Ho-woo look at his watch and turn his head to ask himself.
"That's not good..."
"Why?"
"It's past three o'clock now, and there are almost no cars on the road, do you want to walk back as a girl?"
Kim Taeyeon just reacted to this, she only cared about sneaking out before, and didn't think much about anything else, but now it seems that this is really inappropriate.
"Why don't you do that..."
Just as Kim Taeyeon was thinking and hesitating, she suddenly heard the other party say, "Since it was my mistake just now, then I invite you to watch another movie, so that it will be dawn when it is about to end, how about it?" ”
Kim Taeyeon was stunned for a moment, then showed a bright smile and said, "I still want Coke and popcorn!" ”
Soon, Kim Ho-woo, who returned to the hall, walked towards Kim Taeyeon, who was waiting on the side, with the largest bucket of popcorn in his arm, a large cup of Coke in one hand, and two paper tickets between his lips.
She looked at the other party hugging left and right and was slightly funny, covered her mouth and laughed happily.
"Let's go"
Listening to the other party's slurred voice because he couldn't open his mouth, Kim Taeyeon smiled secretly and suddenly said, "You close your eyes." ”
"What?"
"Close your eyes and just take a moment."
After Kim Taeyeon begged in a slightly coquettish tone, sure enough, although Kim Ho-woo didn't know why, he still obediently closed his eyes.
Jin Haoyu, who was pitch black in front of him, only felt a gust of breeze blowing on his face, making the skin on his face feel a little itchy and his eyelashes trembling slightly
Suddenly, his eyes widened in surprise, revealing a look of disbelief, and the two movie tickets between his lips gently fell off, slowly drifting down with gravity, and landed at his feet for a moment but no one bent down to pick them up...
