SpartAce : Today more than Yesterday

Jong Kook is waiting for Se Young outside the movie house that they agreed meeting in. It is the day he promised Se Young to go on a movie with her.

She had been excited for it for the last few days that it amuses him.

He looks around, seeing people with their friends and some with lovers, excitedly buying snacks in the counter to bring inside.

"Oppa! "

He turns to the familiar voice, and sees Se Young. She's wearing a blazer over a sweater, and her long legs are complimented by the peach plitted skirt that she's wearing, which looks refreshing after seeing her in pencil skirts and pants in the workplace.

"Oooh, Oh Se Young. You look good.", he says as she draws near him with a bright smile.

"You, too, Oppa. As always."

He chuckles. "You're so good at your words. Haha. "

"Why~? It's true.", she says, her red lips pouting.

"Shall we go in? ", he asks.

She nods excitedly and clings her hand into his elbow, making him conscious.

But he tries to be logical. Se Young is a close dongsaeng, anyway. And she's friendly to everybody. He should not overreact to her actions.

Before he could give it some more thought, his phone rings.

He takes it out of his pocket and answers Kwang Soo's call.

"Why? ", he asks.

"Hyung, can you go to ****? Ji Hyo-Noona is stuck there but I can't go. I've been sneaking out lately that my CEO threatened to cut off my priviledges if I sneak out again."

"Where have you been sneaking off to? ", he asks, then realizes that Se Young is waiting next to him. "Ah, whatever. I can't go."

"Hyung, she really needs----! "

He turns the phone off and pockets it.

Surely, she isn't in big trouble, right? That woman is smart. She could take care of herself.

So he proceeds to the movie house with Se Young. But as the movie starts, his mind just keeps on drifting to what Kwang Soo said.

Stuck? She's stuck where?

He should've known. She hasn't been in trouble lately that it was beginning to sound strange.

He shouldn't be surprised that she is in one right now.

But she'll be alright, right?

"Is the female lead your type, Oppa? ", Se Young asks, disrupting his thoughts.

'Huh? ", he asks, leaning away when he sees that she's already close to him.

"The female lead, Song Hye Kyo. Is she your type? ", she asks, looking at the wide screen in front of them.

He couldn't stop a silent chuckle, thinking how Joong Ki would be upset if he hears him say yes.

It also made him realize that he is somehow attracted to girls who are independent and confident, the type that gives men the impression that they just couldn't order them around and do as they please.

Thinking about it, it is definitely just like that woman who is currently in trouble right now.

"Oppa.", Se Young calls again.

"Huh? ", he asks.

"Are you alright? You've been really weird since we got in."

It makes him realize that he just couldn't sit there and enjoy while he knows for a fact that a friend is in trouble. An annoying friend, that is.
