Movie Night: Extended Version (Bonus: Plot Beats)

10th Member

The story:
This Saturday, Twice had no schedule. Tzuyu and Momo wanted to watch their favorite movie with Mina's LCD projector, but both of them had two different preferences. Little they know, Chaeyoung also had a movie that she wanted to watch with Mina. Three of them asked Haeju for help to convince Mina to play their movies.
Haeju was so torn because she wasn't sure if she was good enough to solve this problem. She was afraid that 'the bad guy Haeju' would just disappoint everyone and ruined everything.
When the night finally came, Haeju executed her well-prepared plan, but... Apparently, it wasn't good enough to solve the problem. Haeju hit the rock bottom and blamed herself for not being able to do her best.
In the end, what will Haeju do to fix the situation? What movies will be chosen to play in the movie night?

"I love you, love of my life," she says to me.
"I love you more," I say.
She smiles.

We've been having our time for more than an hour, I think. Mina and I are so close together. We've been going through a lot these days. From mood swings to heartbreak. Mina is always beside me. I... Will do anything for her. I will do anything to make see that smile.

Mina looks at my eyes like she's looking for something. An answer. A question. Or a statement from my eyes alone. Then she leans towards me and gives a peck on my lips.
It was so quick I don't know what to feel.
"Do you remember when we kiss for the first time?" she asks.
"Yeah..." I say.
"You were so beautiful that day, Haeju," she says, "As you're now, of course."
"And you keep kissing me since that," I say.
"Yes..." she looks away like she's remembering all of our moments together, "Yet I always lose to everyone. Everybody loves you," she says.
"....."

That's true. I never stick to one person before. I've been dating so many members in Twice, just like everyone has dated each other for all this time. I'm disloyal. I'm sure I'm disappointing Mina.

"I guess, I'm just afraid to disappoint anyone who loves me," I tell her, "That's what makes me love everyone."
"Because you're too kind, Haeju. You even cry on anything. That what makes me like you, Haeju. Your soft side..." Mina says. 
"I'm afraid I'm not like that. I'm not a good person. I'm unloyal. I date everyone and break everyone's heart. I never do anything right. That's just me, Mina. You have to know that... I'm the bad guy."

Mina sighs. She raises her head and says, "I'm in love with that bad guy, I guess". Then she grabs my head and kisses me again. Longer this time. Much much longer.

After quite a while, we've heard some girls are arguing outside. The sound is getting closer and closer before Tzuyu and Momo barks in.
"Unnie, do you really promise her to play a drama?" Tzuyu asks.
"We're not watching Avengers again, right?" Momo says otherwise.
Mina is stunned. She doesn't know what to do or how to respond. 

Then we are so confused to see Tzuyu and Momo fighting in front of us.
"Why do you want to watch an episode of K-drama? No one ever even watched anyway!"' Tzuyu yells.
"It's good!!! Besides, it's better than 'Age of Ultron'. We've watched it a couple of times already," Momo answers.
"This movie is a masterpiece! Stupid Granny..." Tzuyu mumbles.
"I'm- What?!" Momo answers.
"You're old. And has no taste," Tzuyu says.
"No, you!"
"You!"

I'm so done.
I stand up and yell at them both, "SHUT THE UP!!! BOTH OF YOU!" I accidentally swearing. Well, don't blame me. When I'm on my period, sometimes I can't control my mouth.
"Haeju, it's okay..." Mina tells me.
"NO! Stop making Mina confused, both of you! You (I stare at Momo) no one wants to watch your stupid drama! Tzuyu! (I turn my head to her) We're tired of your addiction to Avengers. Move on already!" I say.

Two of them don't say anything. Their heads are hanged down. Looking at the floor. 

"Mine is a good drama tho..." Momo whispers innocently.
". THAT," I say, "You're making a mess in Mina's room. Now get out before I slap you both in the face," I say.
Finally, Momo and Tzuyu get out of the room.

Mina gets up and holds my shoulders, give me a little massage. "Calm down... It's okay..." Mina tries to stop me.
"But-"
"Let's just sit down first," she cuts me. I listen to her and then sit side by side on her bed.
I... Never yell to anyone like that before. Why do I become like this?

There's a silence in the room for a moment.

Mina takes out 2 DVDs. One is Tzuyu's DVD and one is from Momo.
"I still don't know what to play," she says, "We definitely can't watch two of them in one night..."
I sigh. I look at those DVDs. I really don't know what to say because- I keep remembering the promises I've made to Momo and Tzuyu.

"Unnie, please help me... Mina has the best projector in her room. It will be perfect to watch my love, Wanda, the Scarlet Witch, on that screen," I remember Tzuyu secretly said to me.

"Ju... I will do anything if you've managed to convince Mina to watch this drama in her room. I think the last episode will be great. I'm so curious about it," Momo also personally said to me another time.

"Can't you just choose one of them?" I ask Mina helplessly.
Mina is so nice, "I really don't want to disappoint any of them," she says.
"We still can play the other movie next time, right?" I ask.
"No, it will still hurt one of them, Haeju," she says.

Mina is so undecided. I love her so much but I also don't know what to do. What can Ahn Haeju do in a situation like this?! I am angry with myself.
I stand up and leave Mina in her room alone. 

The bad guy Haeju will make things worse. But I won't.

When I come back to my room, there, I see Chaeyoung is standing right beside the door.
"Chaeyoung!" I call her excitingly.
"Haeju!"
"Oh my God, good you're here! I need help," I tell her.
"What is it?" she asks.
"Let's come in! I will tell it inside," I say. 

Chaeyoung is the best person to listen to your problem. I really like her. But, this particular problem, is... Kinda strange.
"Are you okay, Haeju?" she asks.
"I'm... I'm fine, I'm fine. I have a problem but it's... Weird," I tell her.
"What is it?"
"Mm..." I'm shaking my legs. Hesitate to speak.
"Let it out," she insists.

Then, I tell Chaeyoung about the current situation of Mina's movie night.
"I really wanna heeeelp~ But- It feels like there's nothing I can do! Ottokkkeeeee???" I say while looking at her face, hoping that she knows the answer.

/

"Calm down, Ju. You shouldn't feel guilty about it," Chaeyoung says, "Being on Mina's side is already helpful for her. Also, you're smart and wise, I know you can find the best solution for this problem," she says.
"You think I'm... Wise?" I ask.
"Yes, you are. Especially, as the oldest member of Twice," she says, "So, calm down, okay?"
"I see..." I say.

I think Chaeyoung is right. After all this time being the 10th member, I have faced so many problems that I have with the members. And I've dealt with them all. I should've been proud of myself.

"The movie night is coming. But I know I will sort it out somehow," I mutter.
"Umm, speaking of a movie, actually...... I'm here because there's something I wanna tell you," she says.
"Oh, what is it?" I ask.
"So..." she takes her time to continue speaking, "I feel like I'm not that close with Mina lately. Not like it was used to be. So... I think. can you help me to get closer with her again?" she asks.
"Sure, what can I do to help?"
"This idea... This might be the solution for your problem," Chaeyoung takes out a DVD from her little bag.
I see the cover. It's about Criminal Documentaries. 

Chaeyoung looks at me in the eyes and says slowly, "Haeju... I wanna watch this with Mina. Can you help me to convince Mina to play this movie on the movie night instead?" I look at her big eyes and stunned

(2-3)

"Thank you, Ju, I'm counting on you," Chaeyoung says as she leaves the scene.
I'm sitting still on my bed. Don't know what to do. I look at Chaeyoung's DVD, thinking of all the possible probabilities that might happen.

Maybe Mina doesn't have to know about Chaeyoung? 

(2-4)

I lay on my bed and think... Maybe it's better for bad guy Haeju to face this problem? I turn on the air conditioner and closes my eyes, try to sleep.

Tonight is the night!

I've decided to invite all the members to watch the movie together in Mina's room.
I've been brainstorming with Mina from night until the day. Just to find out which movie is the best to show tonight. I'm so nervous. We need to do this right.

"So, I will be the MC tonight!" I say. I'm standing in front of all the members, "Welcome! Welcome to Twice's night movie. Today we're gonna watch something special. We've prepared this for all of you, guys," I say.

They all sit crammed on the floor. Some of them are on the bed. They all look at me. As if they're excited to know what to watch tonight. I can't breathe!

/

"Alright!" I say, "Before we play the movie. We have some trailers to play. Are you guys excited???"
"Yesssss!" say all of them.
"Make some noiseee!"
"Whoooooooo~!"
I smile. "Okay, Mina. Play the trailers!"

The screen goes dark. Then we hear the opening song, a superhero theme. I see Tzuyu looks excited. "Oh my God... Oh my God..." she utters. Then we see Elizabeth Olsen, Tzuyu's favorite actress, on the screen. She smiles so widely. We're playing a fan-made edit about Wanda Maximoff. Everyone is amazed. 

Then the video ends. It's suddenly changed to piano music. "Oh!" Momo mutters as she recognizes the soundtrack. Yes, this time we're playing the trailer of the last episode of her favorite Kdrama. A sneak-peek to satisfy her curiousness about it. "Whoaa..." I can see Momo's mouth is formed that way.

Then, the final trailer comes. The music sounds intense. Comes a white person in a suit, talking seriously to the camera. It's the trailer of the crime documentary. Chaeyoung, who sits beside Mina, whispers to her left ear. I'm guessing she's telling Mina how she loves this documentary.

The video ends. Everyone claps as they're so excited.

(3-2)

"So, what are we gonna watch, Unnie?" Tzuyu asks me.
Oh no... I can feel my heart is beating hearing that question.
"Yeah, we're gonna play my drama, right?" Momo says, makes me even more nervous.
"Not your stupid drama!" Tzuyu says, "My movie is way much better."
"I'm tired with you simping Wanda Olsen," Momo says.
"It's LIZZIE OLSEN, you stupid Grandma!"

GOSH!!!
I don't know why these two are sitting beside each other if, in the end, all they do is fighting each other. I guess playing the short videos of the favorite movies isn't enough. This is all my fault. As expected, I fail again.

(3-3)

I try to calm them down but my mouth isn't moving. My hands are shaking. My eyes are getting warm.

Tsk, crying again? You're so weak, nice Haeju! I hate myself!!!

(3-4)

"Your mental age is a grandma," Momo continues to diss Tzuyu.
"ass," Tzuyu mumbles.
"Shhhhttttt!" Jeongyeon says, followed by all the other members. Tzuyu and Momo are quiet. Finally.
I'm not alone, apparently. Good thing I invited all of them here tonight.
With my last energy, I attempt to speak to Tzuyu and Momo, "You're not gonna disappointed with what we are gonna watching tonight. Trust me," I say it nicely.

(3-5)

"A- Anyway... Now for the highlight!" I try to be cool, "We're gonna watch a show that we are all gonna love. Are you guys excited???" I ask them.
"Yeeeessssss!" answers all of them. They all look at me full of hope.

Alright, finger crossed!

"Without further ado, Mina, let's play it!"
Mina, as the operator, presses the play button.
This is it, Haeju, this is it.

'I'm Gonna Be A Star' song is heard from the speaker. Then faces that they all know are shown on the screen. "Whoaaa...." they all say it almost together.
We're watching the last 2 episodes of Sixteen. The variety show from JYPe that formed Twice.

(3-6)

The show ends.

Everyone claps their hands. "Whooooooo!!!" someone screams. They all look satisfied.

We can see that everyone is crying, including Tzuyu, Momo, and Chaeyoung. I can see Tzuyu's face is full of tears. So is Momo's. I see Chaeyoung is hugging Mina's arm. Both of them are crying together.

"Minaaaa, thank you for playing Sixteen! This is so touching," Jeongyeon says.
"Oh my God, I'm crying."
"Me too!"
"Yeah... Me too!"
"I love it! Thanks for playing this Minaaa!"
"Thank you, Minaaaa!"

Everyone is complimenting Mina.
I see her. She smiles hearing all of the comments from all the satisfied members. Looking at Mina happy makes me happy. My job is finally done here.

I manage to keep my promises to everyone tonight.

(3-7)

"Thanks to Haeju for helping me choosing what to watch, guys," Mina announces.
"Thank you Haejuuuuuuuuuu...! Thank you....." everyone says. 
"You're welcome hehe," I say.
"O- But Haeju is not even in the show!" Jeongyeon looks at me.
Hearing that suddenly makes me want to laugh. "Hahaha..." I chuckle. Tears fall on my cheeks.
"Are you okay, Haeju?" she asks.

 

" that!" I smile.
