Like a Normal Couple

Summer Night's Dream
Please Subscribe to read the full chapter

Shin 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

Chapter 50: Hello Annie,
Since I just subscribed to this ff, I was able to read the majority of this story pretty much all in one shot...how awesome...just waiting for your updates now. :) It was an enjoyable read...a very meaningful love story that showcases the importance of trust and honesty...

While we pitied SH while she was mending her broken heart, we kind of overlooked that MH was just as deeply hurt, although he was the one who hurt her first. He never gave up chasing her back, and persisted in doing so until he finally realized that he was suffocating her and himself in their push and pull relationship. He too had a fragile heart. The "Drenched" chapter is a very touching chapter (my favorite chapter so far), and I'm glad SH listened to her heart instead of her brain haha. They were able to reunite through trust and honesty...I also loved all the fate parts throughout the story...finding the diamond ring game, being seated beside each other again on the plane and MH turning out to be the arranged actor for SH's film ( great idea haha). All the song inserts matched the chapters well...I especially liked the "Drenched" song for the "Drenched" chapter.

Congrats on graduating soon Annie! I understand this ff is based on your masters film project right? So you traveled around the world to film it? It would be really cool if we get a chance to watch it haha. Are you planning to become a film writer/director/producer then? Anyway, thanks for writing this wonderful ff! Despite the circumstances, I still love to read MS ffs as reality is reality and fiction is just fiction. They're still an adorable pair in the fiction world. I assume this story will be ending soon right? I'd love for them to have a happy ending in your story, regardless of what happens in real life. Looking forward to your next update! Fighting! :)
