Chapter 151: Date (7)
Chapter 151: Date (7)
Han Shin knew that thanks to the artifact with perception distortion abilities, the people around him wouldn't recognize him.
However, he felt a strange sensation knowing he had gone on a date with Laysia yesterday and was now on a date with Kang Yujin today.
Until he became the Proxy of Tiamat, Han Shin had lived a life far removed from women.
In truth, it wasn't because he lacked charm, but rather because Kang Yujin had chased away every woman who showed interest in him. Regardless, the result was the same.
Dating Laysia yesterday and Noona today feels a bit...
Han Shin felt like a bit of a playboy.
He had always harbored feelings for his Noona, Kang Yujin, but he had been unable to express them and had consciously denied them—yet now, they were lovers.
Come to think of it, it’s been a long time since I’ve been out on the town like this with Noona...
Before Han Shin was injured in an accident two years ago, they had gone out together as "siblings," even if those weren't official dates.
It felt remarkably good to be walking through the city with Kang Yujin again, especially now that his body was in even better condition than before the injury.
Han Shin had agreed to meet Kang Yujin in front of the theater.
The area, which should have been bustling with people, was quite deserted since it was still a weekday morning.
I wonder when Noona will get here...
He pulled out his smartphone to check the time; it was close to their scheduled meeting at 10:30 AM.
Kang Yujin was always punctual, so he didn't expect her to be late, but it wouldn't have mattered if she was.
Han Shin now fully understood that a woman needed a certain amount of time to get ready.
"Shin! Sorry I'm late! Have you been waiting long?"
Han Shin, who had been planning to wait leisurely while browsing the internet on his phone, looked up when he heard Kang Yujin's voice.
Checking the time just before looking up, he saw she was exactly on time.
"No, you're not late, Noona... Uh... and I just got here myself."
He looked at her, intending to tell her it was fine since she wasn't late.
But the moment he saw her, Han Shin was so flustered that the words wouldn't come out properly.
Since they had decided to leave the house separately, he had suspected she was preparing something.
However, the outfit Kang Yujin wore was something Han Shin had never imagined.
She had worn it for Han Shin, but she seemed to feel a sense of embarrassment herself.
The clothes Kang Yujin wore were the school uniform she had used back in high school.
She wore a crisp white blouse under a dark black blazer, paired with a slightly lighter black skirt.
"Shin, how do I look?"
"It... it suits you well."
"I'm glad. Hehe..."
It was a look Han Shin had seen countless times when they attended high school together.
But back then, they were just like siblings; now, they were lovers.
Because of this, seeing Kang Yujin in her old school uniform evoked a very strange emotion in Han Shin.
Her appearance in the uniform, now slightly more mature than in her high school days, retained that youthful freshness while adding a layer of maturity and seductiveness. It was incredibly stimulating for Han Shin.
He couldn't take his eyes off her.
I'm so glad Shin seems to like it!
Kang Yujin cheered inwardly at Han Shin's reaction.
This date was special to her as well, so she had agonized over what to wear to make him happy.
The conclusion she reached was her high school uniform.
She chose it because she regretted not being able to express her feelings back then when they were just "siblings." She wanted to recapture that feeling while giving Han Shin a sense of both familiarity and novelty.
Just as she intended, it hit Han Shin's preferences perfectly. She felt a surge of pride seeing him unable to meet her eyes properly while still stealing glances at her in the uniform.
She had worried that the uniform might not fit, but fortunately, it was fine.
Because she had grown slightly since high school, the uniform clung to her body like it was custom-made, subtly emphasizing her curves. This actually worked out for the better.
Smiling at Han Shin, who was acting stiff and nervous, Kang Yujin linked her arm with his.
"Shin. Let's go watch the movie."
"Uh, yeah..."
Beneath the dark black blazer was the white blouse, and Kang Yujin's F-cup breasts were making their presence known.
The sight of her swelling chest swaying as she leaned in to link arms provided Han Shin with immense visual satisfaction.
Then, he felt the soft, plush sensation of her full breasts against his arm.
Kang Yujin brought her face close to his ear and whispered.
"Shin. Let's go see the movie quickly."
"Okay."
Her warm breath tickled his ear, and Han Shin nodded as if possessed.
The two entered the cinema and printed the tickets they had reserved in advance.
It was Kang Yujin who had suggested the movie and made the reservation.
She, of course, knew exactly what kind of movies Han Shin liked.
While Kang Yujin printed the tickets at the kiosk, Han Shin stood beside her and felt the weight of surrounding gazes.
Though there weren't many people since it was morning, the place wasn't empty.
Thanks to the Perception Distortion Artifact, Han Shin and Kang Yujin's appearances looked ordinary enough that most people wouldn't remember them.
However, they were drawing attention simply because Kang Yujin was in a school uniform.
Seeing a high school student in uniform at a theater on a weekday morning naturally drew the eyes of the few people present.
It was the same when their tickets were checked at the entrance.
Han Shin realized he was receiving some rather unpleasant looks.
It was a weekday.
He had come to the theater with a female student during the middle of school hours.
Despite the judgmental stares, Han Shin didn't react, knowing that the Perception Distortion Artifact would prevent his identity from being discovered and that their interest would soon fade. He followed Kang Yujin into the theater.
Inside the dark theater, Kang Yujin and Han Shin sat in the reserved couple seats.
The seats were plush and luxurious; Kang Yujin had chosen the most expensive premium seats.
Only after sitting down did Han Shin feel he had escaped the eyes of others.
Just as he was about to let out a sigh of relief...
Kang Yujin pressed close to his side and whispered in his ear.
"I'm sorry, Shin. I shouldn't have worn this..."
Han Shin wasn't the only one who had felt the surrounding gazes.
Kang Yujin, standing right beside him, also knew that the looks they were getting weren't friendly.
As soon as she deduced the reason, she wanted to scream at the people to stop staring, but she held back, knowing that would only draw more attention.
Afterward, she immediately began to blame herself.
Because of me, Shin is...
She didn't care if people looked at her that way.
However, seeing Han Shin receive looks as if he were trash—unpleasant stares—because of her was incredibly bothersome and irritating to Kang Yujin, who cherished and loved him.
The thought that she was the cause of it only intensified those feelings.
That was why she whispered her apology to him as soon as they sat down.
Han Shin immediately understood why she was apologizing.
He might not have known in the past, but he knew now that Kang Yujin loved him.
"It's okay, Noona. No one will remember anyway... It doesn't really bother me."
Kang Yujin's eyes grew moist.
She was moved by Han Shin's comfort.
"Thank you, Shin."
Kang Yujin took Han Shin's hand and squeezed it tight. Both of them felt each other's warmth through their palms, confirming their affection.
The movie they were about to watch was about Awakeners being pursued by monsters in a "Furious Rampage."
As the movie began, the two fell silent.
Kang Yujin knew very well that Han Shin disliked talking during movies, so she kept her mouth shut and leaned her shoulder against his, preparing to watch.
This feels like a dream.
Though her eyes were on the screen, the plot wasn't registering with Kang Yujin at all.
She was simply so happy to be Han Shin's lover, sitting in a couple's seat at the cinema.
To Kang Yujin right now, this movie was nothing more than a tool—a backdrop to be close to Han Shin and enjoy the feeling of a date.
