Chapter 510: A Movie Watched Four Times
“Woo-jin, you watch normal movies too?”
At Choi Jin-ah’s question as she grabbed a handful of popcorn, I reflexively turned my head toward her.
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“I don’t know, I just thought you only played games or watched, you know, adult movies.”
“Hmm, you’ve got the wrong idea.”
“I guess so. Now that I think about it, there’s no way a person could—”
“This is an adult movie.”
“……”
“I just wanted to correct you since you seemed to be under the impression that it wasn’t.”
“……”
Choi Jin-ah slowly turned her gaze back to the screen. She didn’t look particularly happy that her initial hunch had been right.
“You really are something else, Woo-jin.”
“What now?”
“Being so honest about your desires.”
“...That’s a compliment, right?”
When I glanced at her, Jin-ah gave a bashful smile.
“Of course. It’s a compliment. I’m actually kind of jealous.”
Coming from someone like Choi Jin-ah, who had lived under her parents' thumb, it seemed she envied how I just did whatever I wanted.
But hasn't Jin-ah been doing pretty much the same lately?
‘Come to think of it, I don’t really know what she’s been up to these days.’
Aside from her recent national concert tour, I hadn't heard much.
She might seem like a bit of an idler, but even in my family of high-flyers, her public profile was top-tier. She was playing in the league of world stars, so in her specific field, her recognition was overwhelming.
That meant she had more money than she knew what to do with, even if she didn't work.
Plus, her family was filthy rich.
If a real emergency ever struck, Jin-ah was probably prepared to go back to the main house and beg on her knees.
...Just like me.
Anyway, since I’d received a compliment, it was only polite to return one.
“I think you’re pretty amazing too, Jin-ah.”
“Eh? Me?”
“Yeah. You eat so much. I’m jealous.”
“……”
“That’s the Delivery Nation app on your phone, right? What are you ordering?”
“Ahem! I-I mean, you have to eat chicken when you’re watching a movie!”
“Sure, go ahead and order. But just so you know, Senior Ju-hee is sharpening her blade, waiting for a chance to wreck you.”
“……”
Jin-ah hesitated for a moment.
But she wasn't the type to back down that easily.
“Excuse me, but I do manage my weight, okay?”
“Says the person who was just stuck under the sofa.”
“Anyone would get stuck there! I’m serious! Look at this!”
Suddenly, Jin-ah lifted her shirt to show me her stomach. Her face was flushed with urgency as she pressed me for an answer.
“Look. See? It’s not like I have a belly, right?”
Compared to Choi I-seo or Yoo Ah-rin—or even Senior Ju-hee, whom I’d been seeing until just a moment ago—she was definitely lacking in certain areas.
But objectively speaking, Choi Jin-ah wasn't fat by any means.
I reached out and lightly poked her side.
“Eek?!”
Jin-ah jumped, startled.
Even so, she didn't retreat.
“Hurry up and say it. Say I’m not fat.”
“You’re not fat.”
“Right? I appreciate you noticing.”
Jin-ah pulled her shirt back down and sat properly. Then, looking at her phone, she asked, “Do you want original fried or seasoned?”
“So you are ordering the chicken?”
“Well, obviously—”
Jin-ah cut herself off, telling me to stop talking nonsense and just pick.
Come to think of it, I’d skipped dinner today.
I’d had a showdown at Oh Yun-ji’s company, got into a scuffle at a convenience store, and then had another round with Senior Ju-hee.
I’d planned to eat somewhere in between, but thanks to all that unintentional exercise, I really did need to eat something.
“Show me the menu.”
“Oho! So you do want some?”
“Unlike some people, this isn't a late-night snack for me. It’s dinner.”
“……”
Jin-ah shut her mouth tight.
Regardless, I scooted close to her to look at the menu together.
“Ah, what the... The delivery fee here is insane.”
“Huh? B-but the chicken here is really good.”
“Four thousand won for delivery? Are you a chaebol or something?”
“I mean, I am a chaebol.”
“...Fair point.”
Still, four thousand won was too much.
“Order from somewhere else. I see a few places with free delivery these days.”
“I’ll pay the delivery fee, so just eat! I’m craving the chicken from this place today!”
“Even Bill Gates wouldn't pay four thousand won for delivery.”
“Haah.”
Jin-ah let out a long sigh and pushed me away.
“Fine. I’ll order it myself, so just eat whatever I get.”
She grumpily tilted her phone so only she could see it. I narrowed my eyes and decided to compromise.
“Alright, fine. Order from there. Let me see the menu too.”
“You should’ve just said that from the start.”
Jin-ah scooted back close to me with her phone and scrolled down.
“They have a new menu item. I was thinking of trying that.”
Seeing what she was putting in the cart, I couldn't help but chime in again.
“Why are you getting a new menu item? You should stick to the proven flavors.”
“Woo-jin, our tastes really don't match at all.”
“Just get the half-and-half. There’s a reason the classics are classics.”
“Are you going to keep acting like an old man?! Forget it, just eat what I give you. That’s final.”
“……”
“What?”
“Then I’m picking the sides. I’m hungry, so sharing one chicken between the two of us won't be enough.”
“I’m ordering two chickens.”
“……”
Impressive.
I guess she isn't a chaebol for nothing.
That’s how you’re supposed to spend money.
I was about to head back to my spot when I suddenly shouted in realization.
“Wait! Then that means I can order the chicken I want for my portion!”
“Tch.”
Caught, Jin-ah handed me the phone.
I cleanly picked a half-and-half order and sat back down, satisfied.
“Honestly, trying to order food with you is so exhausting.”
“The fact that you’re blaming me makes me want to smack you.”
As I prepared to watch the movie again, Jin-ah finished the order and started looking for the remote.
“Rewind it to the beginning. I don’t know the plot at all.”
“Just watch it from here.”
“How can I just watch it? I don’t know what happened. This is that movie everyone was raving about, saying it’s a masterpiece.”
It was a film praised for breaking the stigma surrounding adult movies.
The erotic scenes were well-received, described as a blend of raw emotion rather than just feeling like a typical pornographic video.
“You missed the plot too while we were picking chicken.”
“I know the plot. This is my fourth time watching it.”
“...Huh?”
Jin-ah looked at me with a face full of confusion. She tilted her head, looking bewildered, and asked, “Then why are you watching it again?”
“Because I failed to finish it the first three times. It was interesting, but I got distracted in the middle.”
“Distracted?”
“Once while watching with Ye-rin, once with I-seo, and once with Ahrin.”
“What, are you collecting attendance stamps?”
“Anyway. Every time we watched it, we got caught up in the mood and ended up doing... what we had to do instead of finishing the movie.”
“...What you had to do?”
Jin-ah didn't get it immediately, but after about three seconds, she clapped her hands.
“Ah! You mean you did that! Se... x.”
Her voice trailed off into a whisper.
Then, she slunk away from me, curling up and hugging her knees.
“I-I can’t do it today.”
“……”
“I said I can’t! N-no matter how you look at me, absolutely not! Got it?!”
“Do you know why I’m watching this with you, Jin-ah?”
“T-to do that kind of thing—”
“Because I figured if I watched it with you, I’d actually be able to finish it.”
“……”
As I turned my gaze back to the screen and started watching, Jin-ah slowly uncurled and scooted back toward me.
“Somehow... that’s really offensive.”
“Ugh, what now? You said you couldn't do it. So I’m not going to today. Are you unhappy about that too?”
“I-it’s not that I’m unhappy. It’s just... my pride is a bit hurt.”
I was sorry, but I’d already finished a round with Senior Ju-hee.
My desires had been sufficiently sated, so I didn't necessarily need Jin-ah’s help.
“Why would your pride be hurt? You said it’d be hard for you, so we’re not doing it. That’s it.”
“Well, fine. Whatever.”
With that, Jin-ah snuggled up right next to me.
She tentatively reached out to hold my hand, and I squeezed back as I leaned against her.
“A-ahem... This is actually quite nice.”
Jin-ah tried her best to hide the twitching corners of her mouth.
As she leaned more of her weight on me, we naturally began to focus on the movie.
‘Ah, here it comes.’
— KYAAAAAAAAAAAH!
“Hyaah?!”
Startled by the sudden scream of the female lead, Jin-ah frantically looked at me.
“I-is this a horror movie?!”
“It’s got some thriller elements. That’s what makes it more exciting and tense.”
“Ah, a thriller...”
“Can’t handle them?”
“I-it’s not like I can’t handle them. I’m just... normal?”
She then gripped my hand tightly, interlacing our fingers.
It was often hard to believe that the slender hand I was holding belonged to a world-class violinist.
The movie’s tension continued to build as the conflict between the lead and the supporting characters intensified.
“Ngh?!”
She let out a small, anxious sound and squeezed my hand harder.
“Hwah?”
At a sudden betrayal by a character, her other hand grabbed my arm and pulled it slightly.
“Mmm.”
When the actors started kissing and the atmosphere suggested they were heading toward sex, she blushed and lowered her head, pretending not to look.
“Fine, you win.”
“Huh?”
Did she think my comment was out of nowhere?
She gave a bewildered response.
“I guess I won't be finishing the movie today either.”
“Heh?”
She looked up at me with her mouth agape, looking like she still didn't understand what was happening.
When I let go of her hand and started to pull at her clothes, a panicked Jin-ah shouted urgently.
“W-wait a second! You said you wouldn't! You said we weren't going to do it!”
“Then don't be so damn turning me on.”
“Liar! I-I have a workout scheduled for tomorrow, so I can’t!”
“I’ll be gentle. I won't let it interfere with tomorrow.”
“I’ve already fallen for that three times! You bea— mmpf?!”
As I kissed her, Jin-ah’s eyes went wide before she made a tearful expression.
After the kiss ended, Jin-ah, realizing she couldn't fight the flow anymore, caught her breath and pleaded.
“W-Woo-jjin-a... please.”
“Please?”
“I-if you’re going to do it, be gentle.”
You’re in for it now.
