Chapter 149: Lunch And Movie Time (VII)

Mi-Suk had also noticed Jeong-Ho's hasty departure, so she turned to Su-Jin worriedly. 

"What happened?"

"Jeong-Ho… I think he isn't feeling very well." Su-Jin replied quietly. 

In the end, neither Do-Yeong, nor Jeong-Ho returned to the movie hall. There was no sight of them anywhere in the waiting hall either.

Feeling worried, Su-Jin and Mi-Suk were just about to go look for them, when Su-Jin suddenly let out a sound of surprise. 

"Mi-Suk, over there! Look!" she pointed at the end of the hallway. 

Sure enough, Do-Yeong was just returning from the bathroom, followed closely by Jeong-Ho.

The latter's complexion looked somewhat better. He was still rather pale, but there was a delicate flush tainting his cheeks. In a sense, this appearance made him look slightly bashful. His eyes, though, looked even redder than before, like he had been crying. 

Meanwhile, Do-Yeong's appearance was just the same. The only difference was that one of his shirt buttons was undone. The lapels were slightly pulled apart and they could see a small portion of his collarbone. His skin was a healthy wheat color and smooth looking. 

Su-Jin peeked at Mi-Suk and noticed her friend blushing as her eyes lingered on the man's figure.

When they got close enough, Do-Yeong hurried to apologize for leaving the two women alone inside. 

Yet, instead of either Su-Jin or Mi-Suk replying, it was Jeong-Ho who intervened first.

"You're not to blame. It was my fault for feeling unwell. Please don't apologize in my stead." 

With a jolt of surprise, Su-Jin noticed Jeong-Ho's voice sounded slightly hoarse. 

'My gosh, he really has been crying hasn't he?' she gasped inside her head. 

'Was he really that frightened by the movie? Or perhaps he was feeling sick even beforehand? But there didn't seem to be anything wrong with him until we reached the movie theater.'

As Su-Jin kept wondering about the cause of Jeong-Ho's strange behavior, Mi-Suk took the lead in pulling Do-Yeong outside. 

"Come now, let's go and get some fresh air. I am sure we all need it after this experience." 

Mi-Suk directed a charming smile at Do-Yeong and the man nodded in agreement. He offered Mi-Suk his arm and gently guided her outside.

"Yes, you're definitely right. Then, how about we go for a walk? On our way we can also grab dinner?"

While discussing the rest of their date, the group of four had already reached the main street. 

However, in truth, only two people were talking animatedly. The other two were silent, with their minds focused on other things. 

Su-Jin couldn't figure out what Jeong-Ho was thinking, but she thought that something about him was off. 

Ever since they reunited, Jeong-Ho had acted skittish. He wouldn't look at Do-Yeong, nor at Mi-Suk for that matter. That behavior was almost like he felt… guilty.

'But why would he feel guilty?' Su-Jin wondered as she followed after the other couple.

She peeked at Jeong-Ho, trying to make sense of the unease that she was feeling. Yet, nothing came to mind. She was just as clueless as before. 

'Could it be that the two of them had a fight? Is this why Jeong-Ho seems to avoid his friend?'

Had she been more astute, Su-Jin might have been able to notice that Jeong-Ho wasn't avoiding Do-Yeong. In fact, the reason behind Jeong-Ho's nervous attitude was that he felt too conscious of the other man's presence. To the point that he was uncomfortable. 

'Did they really have such a big fight? But they should be fine, right? After all, they are very good friends, not to mention they have a senior-junior relationship. There is no way they will stay upset for long.' 

Just as Su-Jin reached this conclusion, her mood suddenly became complicated. There was a strange feeling of helplessness that made her feel frustrated. At the same time, she couldn't ignore Jeong-Ho's troubled expression either. No matter how she looked at him, the man seemed to be troubled by something. 

When the group reached an intersection, Do-Yeong stopped them from walking further. 

"My car is parked right over there." he pointed across the street at a black car. Then, he casually asked. "How about we all go for a drive?" 

"Oh, that's a wonderful idea! Mi-Suk gasped. He clung onto his arm, her eyes gleaming with excitement."

"Along the way we can choose a place to have dinner." Do-Yeong continued to address her, keeping his entire focus on Mi-Suk.

The idea was indeed good. It might have helped with lightening the mood. But glancing at Jeong-Ho, Su-Jin noticed that he didn't find the idea too appealing. 

Hence, even though going for a drive might have been fun, Su-Jin refused on behalf of her and Jeong-Ho.

"You two should go and enjoy the drive. We want to roam around the streets for a little while longer." Su-Jin said, subtly pulling at Jeong-Ho's arm.

"Eh?" 

Jeong-Ho was startled out of his thoughts, but he quickly picked on Su-Jin's meaning. He quickly nodded his head, giving Su-Jin a grateful smile. 

"Ah, yes. You should go on ahead. Su-Jin and I will stay behind and have some fun by ourselves."

"Exactly! Don't let us hold you back." Su-Jin laughed, pushing Mi-Suk towards Do-Yeong.

Instead of budging, though, Mi-Suk pulled Su-Jin closer.

"Su-Jin, are you sure? That's not what we had planned." she said in a whisper. 

Mi-Suk looked slightly worried, but Su-Jin merely waved a hand to dismiss her friend's worries.

"You go and have fun. Don't worry about me. Also, ask him to drive you home."

"But what about you? Don't tell me you want to spend the night with Jeong-Ho." Mi-Suk was appalled by the very idea.

"Don't be silly." Su-Jin hissed, smacking her friend's shoulder. "I'll take the subway home. It's still early so what's the fuss?"

Mi-Suk still hesitated. But seeing how Su-Jin insisted, the young woman could only concede.

After the other two departed, Su-Jin turned around to look at Jeong-Ho.

The young man was staring after the black car with a dejected air about him.. He almost looked like a puppy that had been abandoned by its owner on the street.
