Let's watch a movie :]

I like to watch movies.

I love the silver screen movies shown in theatres. Both large images Surrounding sound system The darkness that fell when the movie started The creaking sound of the chair The atmosphere of the people sitting in seats waiting to see the movie they wanted to see. Pictures of people talking about their impressions after watching every episode.

As has happened since I stepped in to buy a movie ticket. Until the movie's credits rolled and the movie theater was empty.

It's all a charm that makes me love watching movies in theaters so much.

But during the past year I hardly ever went to the movie theater. It's because I just took the university entrance exam. and was kicked away to live far away from the noon gun Please don't ask for any prosperity. In the campus where I was sent Even the water used is well water. Just have electricity. And make an impression by having wireless internet in various buildings. of the university I'm really impressed.

Don't mistake me for a technology addiction or a snobby kid who hates pumped well water. It's not anything like that. Just the only entertainment around my university There is only a cartoon shop in front of the dormitory and the university library.

I don't count the entertainment venues outside the university...

What I regret is that the department store closest to my university is very far away. To the point where I fell asleep and fell asleep in the car, but it took two full hours before I opened my eyes to see the department store. from my university Going to the cinema to see a movie In exchange for aching muscles and carrying exhaustion into a cool movie theater.

and everything around was dark Even if the thing I choose to watch is action, sci-fi, blowing up mountains, burning huts, beating the wives of subordinates... I'm still dead and asleep.

Waste of money, waste of time

Makes it almost a year since I've been here. I chose to use the cartoon rental shop. Pick up a cartoon that I've wanted to read for a long time. But he didn't dare take the risk of buying a whole set of nearly fifty volumes to have his parents scold him and make his face crumble. Come read until your heart's content. Or if you really want to watch a movie. Calling home to come pick you up and take you home to spend the night playing and enjoying yourself. Then slowly go out and wander around. Watch a few movies And then going back to the dorm isn't that bad.

But there are many times when I choose to use the library service. that opens the second floor of the library into a multimedia service zone including the internet, music CDs, online radio, and of course movie loan services. and a zone for watching movies in privacy

My little paradise in the afternoon when there are no classes. Even if the movie isn't brand new like it came out of the theater, was put on disc, and was sent straight to the shelf. But it has both domestic and foreign movies, old movies, new movies, many of which I have never seen. Some things I didn't think to watch, I did.

Little happiness on the pale green sofa one movie With a pair of headphones in the afternoon...sometimes there are people sitting there too.

“Woohyun, where are you going this afternoon?”

“I want to go see a movie at the library.” A familiar question with a familiar answer. My friends in the group were used to me watching a movie in the library on Tuesday afternoons after lunch. Even though it's like that But they are always diligent in asking. I don't know why I'm asking.

Sungyeol, the owner of the question, nodded to accept the answer. before lowering his head and slurping the noodles in the next bowl Meanwhile, I was sitting and rubbing off the remaining curry that stuck to the bottom of the bowl and the torn noodles. While waiting for other friends to eat I'm always the first in the group to finish eating. Sometimes I'm asked where I'm going in a hurry. Or is there something wrong? Um...

Just get into the habit of eating until you're finished. Rarely do you sit and enjoy the taste of the same dish almost every day.

"Hoy!"

I was actually startled, but that 'hey' sound wasn't mine. But it's the owner of the arms that are wrapped around my neck. I raised my chopsticks and hit my white arm. That's really loud. The owner of the arm released the force that was strangling me. But the hand still rests on the shoulder. Embrace me all over with cheerful laughter

“Hello, Sunggyu hyung.”

“Good,” Kim Sungkyu or ‘Sungkyu hyung’ nodded to the greetings from my friends before turning to address me, who was desperately trying to pry his arm away from his neck.

“Grandma...what's wrong with you? Stop prying.”

"Let me go." I made a displeased noise at him. But even if he lets go But his face didn't feel sad in the slightest. His eyes swept around. Our tables were filled with the remnants of our civilization that we had left behind.

"You've finished eating."

"yes"

“Ah...I just got out of school. Haven't eaten anything yet. Can you wait for me first?” He turned and looked at me with an angry expression, not understanding why he was making me wait. But I wasn't in a hurry to go anywhere, and my friends still hadn't finished their lunch. Plus, no one even started talking about dessert.

"I'm not in a hurry to go anywhere."

“Very good, just wait a moment. I'll be right back." He quickly got up and appeared in front of the same noodle shop as Sungyeol. Meanwhile, I picked up a banknote and handed it to Sung Yeol who was preparing to get up to buy dessert and sit down to eat. Anyway, I had to sit and wait for a long time. Please give me some.

“Get lots of red beans and condensed milk.” His chin looked at Myungsoo, who was grabbed by Sungyeol and dragged by the neck to stand in line to buy cold shaved ice. I saw Sunggyu walking back to the table with a smile on his face. A large bowl of noodles was placed in front of him, sizzling smoke giving off a sweet, mouth-watering aroma of delicious bone broth. Despite the fact that I had just stuffed a bowl of the same thing in front of me earlier,

“Do you want to eat it?” Sunggyu hyung picked up a large piece of pork from the soup for me. It sounds like a question. But the piece of meat was back in the mouth. If you turn around and run away, it's like you're not in time. Because my instincts told me to hold it in, of course. After chewing it hard, I swallowed it three or four times. No second piece followed.

Because the person in front of him had already gone back to preparing his own lunch, worthy of his complaint that he was very hungry.

I sat and watched him eat for a long time. After a while my dessert arrived. Cold shaved ice, thick red bean paste and sweet milk. Delicious, don't tell anyone.

“Where are you going next?” Sunggyu hyung, who had finished the giant bowl of noodles in less than ten minutes, looked up and asked me, who was enjoying the delicious taste of the red beans.

"yes?"

“Where are you going next?”

"I'm going to watch a movie at the library."

“Very good, we're on the same page...hurry up. Grab your snacks and we'll go. I have a movie I want you to watch. So...why are you still? Come help me eat so we can finish quickly."

Huh?

No need to waste time choosing a movie like every time I came to watch a movie with Sunggyu at the library. Because this time, he has already tied my hands to the movie he wants to watch for me. Made me have to wave goodbye'

UNDERWORLD’

In case you come to watch a romantic movie like '

Notting Hill’

Do you see any differences between the two of us?

I don't know if I've told you yet...that I'm allergic to romantic movies. The kind that is pure love. Between young people (or young women, or young men, whatever), no matter how much drama is mixed in But if it is known as a romantic movie Will it be drama or comedy? It's like a big jar of sleeping pills for me. I like action movies more.

It's different from Sungkyu hyung's hands and palms...um, feet.

He really likes romantic movies. Every movie he has seen. Movies within the country, outside the country, in the mainstream, outside the mainstream, he has been searching for them to watch. You can tell almost every scene. Memorize every character's lines. Sometimes there are actions consisting of Until sometimes...I feel like telling him to stop holding onto the drafting board. Then try casting as an actor, it wouldn't be bad.

Sounds like there's still not much of a problem, right? I like to watch movies. He also likes to watch movies. But they like each other in different ways. In a very different style If different people see Separate television sets, different movies, and it's over. Everyone is happy with the movies they like. But the main problem, the content of which should have been guessed from the beginning, is He likes dragging me out to watch movies as a friend.

For a simple reason Like a little child, I never once understood anyone who said this sentence.

"Hyung...I don't like romantic movies."

"But I don't like watching movies alone."

Will the world end if I have to watch movies alone? Ah! ...but for sure Nam Woo Hyun is really upset without hiding it. But people like Sungkyu hyung. Say that sentence a hundred times. He answered the same thing a hundred times as well. It was really unbearable, but I don't know why I had to endure it.

I like to watch movies alone. Even though I don't mind the idea of ​​having to watch a movie with someone or many people, to be honest, I prefer to immerse myself in the world of a movie rather than listen to whispers about the movie. How much do you like it or even want to go to the bathroom?

It really took my emotions out of a good movie.

But whatever you say, that's it. Because now I'm sitting on the same sofa as Sunggyu hyung. With the other party being the one who arranged the whole thing, turn on the television. DVD player, connect headphones, insert disc into the unit. Including managing the settings for the movie.

This is another thing that I don't like.

I'm not very happy with watching Korean dubbed movies. Because I feel that some movies need the speaking power of real actors who understand the role, not the voice of a voice actor whose emotions may not be suitable for the role at that time. Even though I haven't had much exposure to that kind of movie. But let's just say I like watching movies with soundtracks. and take a closer look at the subtitles that appear under the picture.

“Believe me...we have to watch this story in Korean dubbing. I think the voice actors are funny.”

Many times he said that, OK, I admit that it was funny. But many times I tried to pick up a movie that he forced me to watch and watch it twice. By choosing in the soundtrack Almost every time I am genuinely amused by a joke. In the movie, more than the jokes that try to adapt to the Korean language, in Western movies, they have to be viewed as Western jokes. It's even funnier and more relevant to the situation in the movie.

The moving images on the movie screen and the expressive dialogues of the actors in this movie continuously passed through my ears and eyes. There is nothing particularly impressive for me, except for the song '

When you say nothing at all’

with the song '

She’

which I have listened to since I was a child It's a catchy song and can be sung. Even though I have never seen a movie where this song was used as a scene in the movie.

In fact, it was quite fun. Not to the point of falling asleep in the air after just slurping down a big bowl of noodles. But maybe it's because my love glands have deteriorated. Makes me not feel connected to this movie that everyone I said it was a good romantic movie. Plus, I was sleepy and annoyed at Anna. Scott intermittently too.

So why didn't I close this movie? Or pull the headphones out of Sungkyu hyung's ears and say he's too lazy to watch? I don't see it being difficult at all...

“Cold?”

I didn't answer, but moved closer to Sunggyu hyung. He leaned his head down gently on his shoulder. I heard a chuckle in Sunggyu hyung's throat. But that didn't interest me any more than Anna's panicked face. Scott opened the door to William Thacker's house and was greeted by hundreds of members of the press.

'Cause all I care about are warm palms Just put it on my shoulder

"nothing"

“Are you begging?”

“Go watch the movie.”

He laughed again. As for me, I could only purse my lips in embarrassment. I won't admit that I'm begging, I'm just bored with the queen's stupidity in the story. So I found something else to do. But it seems like he knows that I don't think like that. The pressure in the middle of my hair made my heart beat like a drum.

“What are you doing...this is the library?”

“We can still kiss you first...ah. You're just kidding. It's your fault, okay? Seizing opportunities, having bad habits, and acting inappropriately in the library.”

The more he talks The more embarrassed I became. Trying to force myself to get up from his shoulder. But I couldn't do it. Because he refused to relax the strength on my shoulders one bit. So I only grunted and hissed with dissatisfaction. And Sunggyu hyung laughed again. As if to annoy and anger. Good thing there aren't that many people.

Plus, each person is interested in their own movies. That's why we're rarely in the limelight.

"I'm bored."

“I knew and still came to ask.”

“Then next time I'll watch the movie we want to watch, okay?”

“When do you like to watch action movies?”

“And since when did we like to watch romantic movies?”

“Next time...”

“We watched ’10.

things I hate about you’

Okay...I haven't seen it yet. But it's not like I happened to like romantic movies. Don't misunderstand. I just like Heath. Only Ledger."

Laugh...laugh again. How many more times will you laugh, Kim Sungkyu?

"Okay...so do I have to watch it with the soundtrack?"

“This story was dubbed by a Korean dub. Is it not funny that you should watch it with the soundtrack?”

Damn it...

Even though I don't like romantic movies.

Even though I don't like to watch Korean dubbed movies.

Even though I don't like watching movies with other people.

But I like to sit and watch Korean dubbed romantic movies with Sungkyuni hyung.
