Chapter 97 – Dating (2)
A car that moves smoothly.
It can be seen that Yoon Ji-an, who is behind the wheel, is exerting excessive force on her entire body.
Are you nervous?
“Mr. Jian.”
“Yes, yes.”
“Where are we going?”
After asking this, something is strange.
Originally, I think it’s right that a man should organize a dating course and do that.
Ah, is this a prejudice these days?
“That… , It’s still early for dinner.”
“Yes.”
“So I reserved a movie… , Will you be okay?”
Oh, the movie.
“The movie is good.”
I don’t know when was the last time I went to the cinema.
I think the last time I went home alone because I didn’t want to go home once and ran away in a hurry because people were crowding around.
“Are there any interesting movies these days?”
When I showed interest, her face lit up.
It seems that the body is losing some strength and the tension is slowly starting to relax.
“Ah, this is an action movie based on a true story released this time, and you know it, too, right? Son Siwoo Hunter.”
“… I know.”
Why did that name come out all of a sudden?
“This film is a film made by adapting the story of Hunter Son Si-woo.”
“…….”
I remembered.
Was it two years ago?
Suddenly, a film production company contacted me saying that they wanted to make a movie based on one of the incidents I had been through.
The story they wanted to create was the most painful memory for me.
A monster wave that started 5 years ago in Gangnam.
The worst incident in the history of Korea that caused enormous damage to property and human life.
To be honest, I didn’t even want to talk about it at the time.
However, they convinced me that it was an event that should not remain as a few lines of text.
At the time, it was necessary to inform everyone of the hard work of the hunters and the government’s belated response.
That way, when the same thing happens, we will be able to respond even a little more quickly.
I wondered if he was just saying slick words to make money, but he was more upright than I thought.
I remember that it helped quite a bit.
To save the action scenes, I demonstrated swordsmanship several times, and told vivid stories to save the details.
“It’s opening now….”
A little feeling is new.
How was it really made?
“Do you hate action?”
Maybe it was because I was deep in thought with a serious expression on my face.
Yoon Ji-an is glancing at me sideways with a restless expression.
“Oh, no. I like action too.”
“Is that so? That’s fortunate.”
Only then does Yoon Ji-an’s face return to normal.
It didn’t seem like that when I first saw it, but there are many expressions on her blunt-looking face.
I mean it’s so cute
There were more and more cars running on the road.
It means the center of the city is getting closer.
Familiar buildings began to come into view.
High-rise buildings in Gangnam.
Among them, there was a building that was being used as a guild house for the guild I had created.
“I hope everyone is doing well….”
I do not regret living in this body.
But it would be a lie if I said I didn’t miss everything.
Our guild members came in after only seeing me.
Among them, I missed only the executives who belonged to the same party as me.
The time I have accumulated with them is no less than my family.
No, it would be safe to say that it was actually a second family.
The reason I haven’t set foot in Gangnam so far is because I have nothing to do, but maybe it’s because I know I’ll fall in love with nostalgia when I come here.
“Mr. Dojin? Mr. Dojin?”
“Ah.”
I get out of my thoughts and suddenly come to my senses, and I am in an underground parking lot.
It looks like you entered a movie theater building.
“Have you ever been in a bad place? If so….”
“No. I have a little something to think about.”
“Ah yes. Then… , Shall we go up?”
“Yes it is.”
I took the elevator and headed to the 8th floor.
A large number of people moving in and out of a large space.
Most of them were couples.
We walked at an ambiguous distance.
It’s a long distance to be lovers, and quite close to being strangers.
Then Jian Yun pointed to the kiosk.
“I’ll get you a movie ticket.”
“Then I’ll get some popcorn.”
“Ah, I was going to buy that too….”
The thought of being a good woman in many ways runs through her head.
I heard that young men and women these days fight over the cost of dating.
Laughter comes out of nowhere.
“Wasn’t I originally meeting you to entertain you?”
“Ah, it was… ?”
“So, buy each one and see them here.”
“All right.”
After confirming that she was heading to her kiosk, I made her way to the concession stand.
“Would you like to order… ?”
The clerk who was taking orders from the customers in front of me with a dry expression looked at me and blushed.
Something very affectionate.
Her hair suddenly tucked behind her ears.
I was looking at the menu, ignoring it, but a familiar set caught my eye.
“A couple set, please.”
“Ah yes…. I will help you pay.”
His face suddenly turned sullen at the word “Couple set.”
Did he want me to come alone?
Something to be proud of
After waiting for her for a while, I get her popcorn and Coke and head to the place where I decided to meet her.
Yoon Ji-an, who checked me from a distance, quickly came up to me and took the coke in my hand.
Come to think of it, I didn’t ask what to drink.
“I didn’t know what you like, so I bought a Coke, isn’t it okay?”
“Yes I do like it.”
Seeing that he smiles lightly, it doesn’t seem like he’s saying empty words.
I’m glad.
“What time is the movie?”
“Uh… , You have about 10 minutes left.”
“Then shall we go in and wait?”
“Yes, you are.”
After showing the ticket, I entered the cinema.
The rightmost two digits in the middle column.
“That… , I like to watch from the corner….”
An excuse that is not an excuse that comes out of nowhere.
“I like it too.”
In fact, I wonder if it has anything to do with anything other than the front and back seats.
Sitting side by side with only one armrest in between, something feels strange.
How to say… , Should I say that the realization that you are actually dating comes belatedly?
“Now I feel like dating.”
“Yes? Oh, D, a date… , Yes, dating….”
Yoon Ji-an suddenly broke down.
I can’t see it in detail because it’s dark, but I wonder if my face is red.
With a face like that, you must have gone on a lot of dates, but why are you so shy?
“Ah, it starts now.”
The already dark room became even darker, and a video appeared on the screen that had been turned off.
Advertising videos that flow aimlessly.
When she turned her head in boredom, Yun Ji-an was focusing her eyes on the screen.
A look full of anticipation.
I guess I really wanted to see this movie.
I’m curious too.
How much was the desperation of that time reflected?
Finally the movie started.
The peaceful Gangnam is reflected, and soon after, the hunter who came out after clearing the dungeon appears.
Among them, ominous signs appear one by one.
Higher concentration of magical power than usual, dungeons starting to open around Gangnam.
Some researchers claim that this is a precursor to a major disaster and that we must prepare in advance, but the government does not accept this.
The nuance of not wanting to spend a lot of money just for a small sign that may not be anything.
“Ugh.”
Seeing it again makes me angry.
The government actually did that.
Even though I had been told many times that danger might come, they all remained ignorant.
It was all because of them that the damage that could have been blocked with 10 increased to 100.
Finally, the thing I feared happened.
A huge crack formed in the sky, and monsters started pouring out of it.
Starting with small monsters such as goblins, larger and stronger monsters gradually appear.
Countless hunters fought against it and died.
Around the time the war situation gradually leads to the inferiority of the hunters, the main character appears.
An S-class hunter who vacated Seoul for a while to capture an A-class dungeon.
With the appearance of him and his comrades, the war situation will return to the upper hand, but that is also for a while.
The rift, which exhausted its strength, ended up spewing out a ridiculous guy as the last monster.
[Kwaaaaagh-!]
The battlefield at that time overlaps with the cry of a huge monster that seems to tear apart the screen.
A gigantic serpent roaring towards the sky, Leviathan.
Estimated grade EX.
The worst monster in history that even an S-class hunter can’t do anything about.
He had to swing his sword with all his might to pierce its scales and injure him.
Every time he shook his body, everything around him crumbled.
In order to block the blue breath spouting from their mouths, numerous hunters had to work together to form a shield.
I figured it out as a brief battle.
That he is an opponent that cannot be defeated.
So I changed my method.
To send him back to where he came from.
There was already one case left.
The Behemoth that terrified the entire United States before Leviathan.
The American S-class hunter, who met an unmatchable huge enemy, succeeded in sending him back at the risk of his own life.
And that too, by using the rift he had been riding on.
In order to do so, the size of the crack, which had been narrowing as if it would disappear at any moment, had to be forcibly widened.
I risked my life for this.
After making his core run wild and overloading his mana, he swung his sword with it intact.
The result… , It was like seeing with the eyes.
[Cracks… , It happened again!]
[This is the time! We need to put him back in that rift!]
[Do your best! If not now, we all die!]
Many hunters gathered their strength and pushed him into the rift.
The guy who finally entered the rift wriggled his whole body as if he didn’t want to go, and then he was completely sucked inside and disappeared.
After that… , It was obvious.
The voices criticizing the government gradually increased, and the Hunters who opened the rifts were more praised.
The completely broken Gangnam was quickly restored with the characteristics of the awakened people.
The film ends with the seeds of hope growing again.
As the ending credits roll, the names of the hunters who fought on the front line that day came up together.
Among them, the name ‘Son Si-woo’ was written on it.
“Sigh….”
Was it that impressive?
Yun Jian covered his mouth with his hand and sobbed in a low voice.
“… It’s okay?”
I hesitated and patted her on the back.
I feel a little strange.
“Sorry, sorry. I ended up looking ugly….”
“It’s ugly.”
The look of her stealing her moistened eyes with her sleeve was extremely neat.
“How did you watch the movie, Mr. Do-jin?”
“Me? I….”
I was dubious about it until a little while ago.
Was it right or wrong to accept the offer to make a commercial film about the story of that time?
But after watching the movie, I’m sure.
“I think it was a good movie.”
That the choice at that time was not wrong.
The sight of the audience wiping away her tears just as she did proved it.
I smiled lightly and asked her.
“I think I’m hungry because I cried so much. Do you want to go eat?”
“Yes. That will be fine.”
She thought while looking at Yoon Ji-an, who readily nodded her head and answered with a smile.
They say that if she laughs while crying, hair grows on her butt.
I guess I’ll have to check it out later.
