The Spoon Villain Is Obsessed with the Hero Again Today - Chapter 75
Need Attention (4)
“Hmm, hmm, hmm.”
Friday night. Arna stood in front of the wardrobe, humming a tune.
Tomorrow is the day to go to the cinema. It’s been a while since she went out. So, she needed to prepare the clothes she would wear in advance.
Creak─
Inside the wardrobe, there were numerous clothes hanging. From clothes she bought online to those she received as sponsorships, there was a variety.
“First this one… and this one too….”
She picked out only the most recently bought clothes and laid them out on the bed.
“Hmm.”
What should she wear out of these? Since the weather is getting hotter, should she wear something a bit more revealing?
Srrk─
Arna picked up the dress first. It was a gray knit dress.
She tried it on immediately and stood in front of the full-length mirror.
“Ugh….”
Seeing herself in the mirror, Arna involuntarily twisted her lips. She couldn’t help it. This dress was much bolder than she had thought.
The dress was so tight that her body lines were blatantly exposed. It openly emphasized her chest and hips.
She never expected to see the “Dongtan Missy Look” she had only seen in the community here. Cold sweat ran down her back.
“No, this dress definitely won’t do…!”
She couldn’t wear such a dress to meet Shin Yoon-seong. As soon as they met, he would surely blurt out something like “boob monster.”
She couldn’t bear to hear such words outside.
“Next…!”
Arna quickly took off the knit dress she was wearing and moved on to the next outfit.
This time, it was a black see-through blouse that clearly showed her underwear.
“Why does my wardrobe only have such flashy clothes…! I have no memory of buying such clothes…!”
This was no different from a slut. She was meeting Shin Yoon-seong, of all people.
“Hmm, hmm-hmm.”
Arna cleared her throat a few times. Today, for once, she wasn’t in her uniform but in casual clothes.
A loose-fitting hoodie and slacks. To top it off, she wore a bucket hat and sunglasses to hide her face.
It was a very casual outfit.
“Well, I can’t help it! There are so many eyes here… and… and…”
“Did someone say something? Why are you getting upset on your own?”
I could understand her situation well enough. Arna was a celebrity, after all. If she walked around openly in a place like a movie theater, she would naturally attract people’s attention.
Moreover, she would inevitably get caught up in bothersome things like autograph requests.
Today’s outfit was the right choice for Arna.
“I wanted to show you a prettier outfit originally…”
“Hmm? What did you just say?”
There were so many people that I couldn’t hear well. I tilted my head in confusion.
“It’s nothing! More importantly, go buy some popcorn!”
“Popcorn? Am I buying it?”
“Isn’t it obvious? I’m paying for the movie tickets.”
“…Alright. I’ll be back.”
I had no choice but to head to the concession stand, leaving Arna behind in the distance.
I called the concession stand employee.
“I’d like to place an order.”
“Ah, welcome… Kyaaah…!”
The moment our eyes met, the concession stand employee saw my face and screamed in surprise.
I was just as shocked. I didn’t expect to meet a familiar face here.
In front of me was Hanbit Kim, the information and communication officer from the technical corps, manning the concession stand.
“Is this a part-time job? You’re working hard even on weekends.”
“Why, why are you here…”
Hanbit Kim’s voice trembled with disbelief. Was it that surprising for me to be at a movie theater?
Well, I suppose I am someone who doesn’t usually do this kind of thing.
“Stop staring blankly and take my order already.”
“Ugh… how embarrassing… to be seen working part-time by someone I know…”
“Enough of that, just take my order quickly.”
“You’ll get it even if I don’t say it!”
At my urging, Kim Han-bit shouted.
“Hey. How dare you speak informally to a customer? Is that how you were trained?”
“Ugh…”
This is not a school. It’s a workplace. Right now, we are facing each other not as student to student, but as customer to employee. Kim Han-bit must be well aware of that fact.
In the end, Kim Han-bit reluctantly lifted the corners of his mouth. He forced a smile at me.
“Yes, yes… What would you like to have…?”
His mouth was smiling, but his eyes were not at all. He looked like he was ready to give me a knuckle sandwich at any moment. Moreover, a few blue veins popped out on his forehead.
Oh, how scary.
“One large popcorn and two large colas.”
“Then how about this combo menu? It might be a bit cheaper.”
“Combo? Just give me whatever.”
“This guy…”
Kim Han-bit gritted his teeth. But he didn’t say anything more to me. After all, he was just a part-timer right now.
Rattle─
Then, Kim Han-bit began to scoop the popcorn angrily.
“Hey, take it easy. The popcorn will get all crushed.”
“I’ll handle it, so you just shut up and stay still, okay?”
“What an elegant way of speaking for a part-timer.”
After scooping some popcorn, Kim Han-bit started pouring the cola. Exactly two cups.
While pouring the cola, Kim Han-bit asked me.
“Who did you come to watch the movie with? A girlfriend?”
“Girlfriend? What nonsense.”
“Then a friend?”
“Not that either.”
It’s a bit awkward to call Arna a friend. If I had to describe it, she’s just an acquaintance.
From noble mtl dot com
For now, that is.
─Excuse me!
Speak of the devil. Arna, with her hat pulled down low, strode towards the concession stand.
“What’s taking so long to buy one popcorn? Are you making it from scratch?”
“Huh…? This voice….”
Where had I heard this voice before? Hanbit Kim, who was in front of me, blinked a few times. Then, he started staring intently at Arna beside me.
And then.
“Ah, ah, ah, Arna Kristindottir…!”
Hanbit Kim shouted out loud. Even though Arna was wearing sunglasses, her face wasn’t completely covered. If you looked closely, you could tell it was Arna.
“Shh.”
I signaled to Hanbit Kim to be quiet. It was crucial that no one else found out that Arna was here at this moment. Otherwise, it could turn into a fan meeting scene.
“Oh, s-sorry…!”
Hanbit Kim quickly lowered his voice, realizing the situation.
“H-how….”
But he was still in shock, shaking his head. He had never expected Arna to show up in a place like this.
“Why, why, why is Arna with someone like you…?”
Hanbit Kim rolled his eyes several times, looking back and forth between me and Arna. It was surprising enough that Arna was at the cinema, but what shocked him even more was that she was with me.
Hanbit Kim gave me a look, asking me to explain the situation.
“Oh. It’s nothing special.”
Following his cue, I decided to reveal what had happened in the lecture hall the other day.
“Arna was the one who suggested we go see a movie… Mmph…!”
Just as I was about to continue, Arna suddenly covered my mouth.
“Oh, haha! The movie is about to start! If we don’t hurry, we’ll be late!”
“Mmph…! Hmph…!”
“Here, take my card and use it to pay! I’ll come back to get it after the movie!”
Without even picking up the ordered cola and popcorn, Arna started dragging me somewhere.
Well.
At least we saved on popcorn money, so I guess that’s a win?
*
But the joy of saving popcorn money was short-lived.
─Roooooar!
“Aaaaah…!”
As the ghost jumped out of the screen, I screamed loudly.
Who would have thought the movie was a horror film? I was completely fooled by the ghost. I can’t handle horror movies.
“What are you so surprised about? You’re someone who fights monsters.”
“Monsters and ghosts are different…!”
─Kuaaaaaa!
“Aaaaaaah…!”
When the ghost appeared again, I couldn’t help but twist my body. Into Arna’s arms.
“Hey, hey! What are you doing right now!”
“Just a moment! Just let me borrow it for a moment…!”
“That’s my chest! What do you think you’re doing, burying your face in my chest! Get off me right nowoooooo!”
….
….
After the movie ended, I realized something. Throughout the entire screening, I clung to Arna like a coward.
Every time a ghost appeared, I hid my face in Arna’s chest.
….
This.
I think I’ll be getting a call from the local police station soon.
Because it was clearly sexual harassment.
