Like a Normal Couple
Summer Night's DreamShin Hye was finishing the last of her final exams for her last and final quarter of her undergrad university education. As she penned in her last response for her cinematography final she felt a wave of happiness wash through her. She was finally done after delaying school on and off the last two years due to her rising popularity. A small tear escaped from the corner of her eye and gently rolled down her face, she wiped her face and began to pack her belongings into her bag. She quietly got up out of her seat being extra careful not make a lot of commotion in fear of disturbing her classmates. She walked up to the professor sitting leisurely at his desk peering at his crowd of students she handed him her exam paper, gave a respectful bow and whispered a thank you as she turned away and walked through the double doors.
Once she was outside, the first thing she did was pull her head backwards to face the sky and let out a loud exhale. All those late nights spent finishing her schoolwork and cramming for exams finally paid off. She was looking forward to finally having a night where she could get her full 8 hours of beauty sleep.
Bling….bling…
‘Yoboseyo’ she picked up her phone without looking at the screen.
‘Wae? Didn’t we have this chat before?’
‘Yoboseyo, oppa! Is that better?’
‘Much better. I parked at the usual spot, when you’re ready lets go’
‘I’m heading over now see you in a few’
Min Ho was people watching through his heavily tinted windows in his car, he was envious of all the college students passing by laughing and joking around with each other not having to worry about how the public perceives them. He wished that he too could be like them and drop all his commitments and go back to school to finish up his college degree, but he’s spent too much time and effort to build his name in the entertainment world to give it up in a click of a finger.
What is taking her so long? Does she know that this is the only day I have off for the next 2 week before they send me back to China to film some more commercials? If I sit here any longer I might pass out from the lack of air in my car. Shin Hye where are you?
‘Oppa what are you staring at?’ Shin Hye quickly got in and slammed the door shut looking at him with her wide eyes.
‘Yah! Why are you always like a ghost? You don’t even make a tiny bit of noise.’ he turned away from the windshield and gave her a confused look.
‘Mianhae that you had to wait so long for me, I ran into some friends on the way over here’
‘Were they guy friends?’
‘Maybe’
‘Aish…I’m so glad you’re done with school. There’s no more excuses for these fan boys to be around my yeoja chingu’ he shook his forefinger at her like a mother reprimanding her child for doing something wrong.
‘Oppa, where are we going to today? Can we be outside it’s nice and sunny, spring is here and it would be a waste if we locked ourselves up in your apartment’ she sweetly asked trying to change the subject she didn't want to hear his jealousy ramblings this early in the day.
‘Hmm…lets go watch a movie?’ he tapped his chin like he was deep in thought
‘Chincha?! Can we really go watch a movie like normal people?’ she was so excited, to be a normal couple with him going on regular dates that most normal couples would think twice about doing, that her eyes were open wide
‘Something of that sort, lets go!’ Min Ho the engine and drove off to the movie theater.
***************************
‘Oppa, you are such a liar!’ Shin Hye pouted in disappointment at him.
‘Wae? We’re watching a movie and we’re at a movie theater’ he looked at her softly in hopes of pacifying her anger and reached out for her hands
‘You call this a movie theater?!’ she pointed her arm and traced the empty movie theater ‘there’s no one here but us! How is this seeing a movie like a normal couple?’
‘This is normal, maybe it’s not normal for people who are dating but for us Hallyu stars this is as close to normal as we can get. I want you to enjoy the movie in peace without anyone bothering us. Yah, it took me 2 weeks to book out this theater.’
‘Aish…this namja chingu of mine. Somehow he doesn’t understand the definition of normal’ Shin Hye shook her forefinger in his face. ‘Ha ha chu’ s
