SCT-Novel Chapter 150: Private First Class (2)
Chapter 150: Private First Class (2)
Eun-ha was beaming with excitement at the rare chance for a movie theater date, her face lit up with a radiant smile. Holding a tub of popcorn close to her chest, she grinned so brightly that just looking at her made me happy too.
Moments like these were impossible to experience back in the military, so I was determined to savor it to the fullest.
I already dreaded going back.
“Eun-ha, you’re super excited, huh? Is going to the theater really that fun?”
“Of course! We didn’t get to hangout properly yesterday~. It’s been so long since I’ve been to the movies with Han-gyeol, so I’m really happy. Han-gyeol, are you happy too?”
“I am. Now, let’s head up one more floor to the screening room.”
“Okay, okay! Let’s go!”
We took the escalator up one more floor, Eun-ha standing a step ahead of me. She suddenly turned around and popped a piece of popcorn into my mouth.
“Han-gyeol, say ‘Ah~.’”
“Ah~.”
“Is it good?”
“Yeah, it’s delicious.”
“Then I’ll give you more.”
She kept feeding me piece after piece until, by the time we reached the screening room, my cheeks were puffed out like a chipmunk’s.
Seeing this, Eun-ha giggled brightly.
“Han-gyeol, you look like a squirrel with your cheeks all stuffed!”
I swallowed all the popcorn in my mouth and took a sip of my drink. Then, it was my turn. I offered her a piece of popcorn, but Eun-ha kept her lips tightly shut, refusing to eat.
When I playfully tapped her lips with the popcorn, she finally laughed and took a bite.
“My tint’s going to smudge!”
“But it’s tasty, right?”
“Yeah, it’s been so long since I’ve had this. Give me more.”
“Nope. The movie hasn’t even started yet, and half the popcorn is already gone.”
I showed her the half-empty tub, and she looked up at me, pouting.
“You’re so stingy, Han-gyeol. You’re the one eating it all!”
“You’re the one who kept feeding me!”
“Fine, then let’s finish this quickly and lift the armrest. I want to link arms while we watch.”
“No way. I want to eat popcorn while watching the movie.”
“You’ve eaten plenty~. Hand it over. I’ll finish it.”
Eun-ha reached out for the popcorn, but I quickly pulled it out of her reach.
“I told you, you kept feeding me, so no.”
“Huh? You’re really not going to share?”
“Nope. Not a chance—”
“Hey!”
Before I could finish my sentence, Eun-ha lunged for the popcorn, but her short arms couldn’t reach it.
“Nice try, but no chance~.”
“If I snatch it, it’s all mine!”
“Go ahead and try.”
Eun-ha stretched and wiggled her arms in an attempt to grab the tub, but she couldn’t manage. Our playful tug-of-war ended with a compromise: we raised the armrest, and I kept the popcorn.
As soon as the armrest was lifted, Eun-ha hooked her arm around mine and rested her head on my shoulder.
“Han-gyeol, is this uncomfortable for you?”
“Not at all. Actually, I like it better being close like this.”
“Hehe, I like it too. If I tap your arm, feed me popcorn, okay?”
“Got it. The movie’s about to start. Did you turn off your phone?”
“Of course~. If your arm gets heavy, let me know.”
“Sure thing. Let’s enjoy the movie”
“Don’t just look at the screen, okay?”
“You don’t just look at me, either~.”
“Hehe, okay. Oh, it’s starting!”
The theater lights dimmed, and the movie began. Since this was a film Eun-ha had been excited to see, we both focused on the screen at first.
Every now and then, when she tapped my arm, I’d pop a piece of popcorn into her mouth. Watching her silently take the popcorn without a word was adorable—she reminded me of a chipmunk scurrying around the base.
About halfway through the movie, Eun-ha tapped my arm again. I reached for a piece of popcorn, but an amusing idea struck me: what if I didn’t feed her?
Curious about her reaction, I ignored her signal and kept my eyes glued to the screen.
“Is this that fun for you?”
“Touching Han-gyeol’s body is the best~. I want to do it every day.”
“I’ll let you touch me as much as you want next year, so hang in there until then.”
“You better keep that promise! I’m going to poke and prod you all the time.”
“Can I take it back now?”
“Too late~.”
Eun-ha smiled brightly and leaned in to plant a kiss on my cheek.
“Han-gyeol, aren’t you hungry?”
“I am, but I’m too drained to cook after all that effort.”
“Same here. Should we order delivery?”
“Sounds good. What do you feel like eating?”
“Hm... raw beef tartare!”
“You really are a predator, huh?”
“I’m always a predator when it comes to you, Han-gyeol~. Oh, I should get dressed first. Turn around.”
“Can’t I peek?”
“You can sneak a glance~.”
Eun-ha carefully got out of bed and started putting on some clothes. She slipped into a white shirt, which looked comically oversized on her.
Wait a second—that’s my shirt.
“Han-gyeo, look at this~! Your shirt is huge! Look how the sleeves just hang down—don’t I look like one of those balloon figures they have at events?”
Eun-ha twirled her sleeves playfully, spinning them in little circles with a bright smile on her face. She looked unbelievably adorable and yet... strangely seductive at the same time.
How could she make something as simple as wearing my shirt look so alluring?
“Eun-ha, come here. Right now.”
“Huh? Why? Why are you calling me~?”
She tiptoed toward me, her every step brimming with innocence. The moment she was within reach, I grabbed her and pulled her into my arms.
“Ah—!”
I hugged her tightly, causing her to fall onto the bed, giggling.
“Why, Han-gyeol? Didn’t you already get enough of me earlier?”
“I’m just wondering—was my shirt always this provocative? Did you do this on purpose?”
“I thought you’d like it, so I tried it on. Looks like I was right~.”
“You were. To be honest, you look incredibly sexy in it.”
“Really? I like wearing your shirt too. It smells just like you. It makes me feel happy.”
Eun-ha brought the fabric of my shirt up to her nose, taking in its scent. I couldn’t help myself—I slipped my hand under the shirt.
“Eun-ha, are you really hungry right now?”
“If I say I’m starving, will you stop?”
“I can try...”
Eun-ha broke into a mischievous smile and leaned in, pressing her lips against mine.
“What about now? If I kiss you like this, will you stop? Will you?”
She started peppering my face with kisses, one after another.
“Nope. Pretty sure I can’t stop now.”
“Well... I am a little hungry, but...”
“Then let’s order food firs—”
“No, no, no. You’re hungrier. So—”
Eun-ha smiled shyly, her cheeks flushed, as she looked up at me.
“—This time, I want to devour you. Is that okay?”
“Go ahead. Devour me all you want.”
“Hehe. Thank you for the meal~.”
With those words, she leaned in and claimed my lips again.
