Chapter 25: Extras watch a horror movie with the main character and the captain.

-…Is it my turn next? That was just three months ago…

‘It’s fun.’

After a scary scene, the movie moved on to the next story.

We were watching a horror movie called [Candle], which was in the format of telling ghost stories in a rented pension deep in the forest.

When I first heard about it from the kids, I didn’t have high expectations, but it was much more fun than I thought.

Should I say I like the way the production supports the story even though the story changes for each ghost story…?

I was highly satisfied with the thought that I had found a good movie.

‘I should buy a Blu-ray later.’

In my previous life, I liked scary movies just like now.

But I couldn’t even think of buying things like Blu-rays because I didn’t have money.

What’s the use of buying a Blu-ray DVD if I don’t have a player to play it?

But now I had that at home, and even if I didn’t, I was getting enough allowance to spend that much money on my hobbies, so there was no problem.

No matter what, my family wasn’t poor.

“Watching it in a movie theater is definitely different…”

Yoon Sejeong, who was sitting in the seat to my left, couldn’t take her eyes off the screen, so it seemed like she was enjoying it.

According to the original work, was the movie theater she went to with Baek Ahra the first movie theater she had ever been to in her life?

At that time, the conversation between Yoon Sejeong, who was immersed in the movie, and Baek Ahra, who couldn’t watch the movie and just closed her eyes tightly next to Yoon Sejeong, was quite fun…

‘That’s a shame.’

Somehow, I ended up taking her first time.

If at least Baek Ahra and Yoon Sejeong were sitting next to each other, I would have watched it with the feeling of watching.

“…Is it over?”

“This time it’s really over.”

Unfortunately, I was now stuck between the original protagonist and the heroine.

‘How did it come to this?’

Even if I thought about it, there was no answer other than coincidence.

It was planned to go out with the three of them, including Yoon Sejeong, on Sunday, but I couldn’t even imagine that I would meet Baek Ahra and this happening would occur.

I don’t think it’s a very suitable seat for me.

If the original readers were watching, wouldn’t there be a reaction like, ‘Get rid of that extra quickly!’

Still, I wish they could be patient for a little while.

Because I had no intention of interfering with their love.

‘It’s not like Baek Ahra won’t recommend it to Yoon Sejeong later because we watched a movie together this time…’

The problem, rather, is that the events related to me disappear by me not bullying Yoon Sejeong.

Maybe there will be problems connecting with other heroines as much… wouldn’t that be solved if I help them unknowingly from the side?

In the original work, there was no one who could be called a helper, but now I’m taking on that role.

In the worst case, Yoon Sejeong might not end up with anyone, but that was really unavoidable.

I have to save my life first.

Still, I was going to help Yoon Sejeong and the other heroines as much as I could.

“Just wait if you’re going to lie again…”

Baek Ahra, who slightly opened her eyes and looked at the screen, saw the smoothly flowing screen, sighed, and took a sip of cola.

‘…Did I tease her too much?’

Well, that’s that, and this time I succeeded in doing one of the things I wanted to do as a reader.

That is, to tease Baek Ahra around her while watching scary things.

She usually had a sharp and cold atmosphere, but the appearance of being scared was nothing but cute.

It was the same in the original work, so unlike the appearance of protecting the protagonist and being drawn bravely, it was quite cute, and many readers supported Baek Ahra as the main wife because of that appearance.

Thus, it was the background for the formation of the ‘Childhood friends don’t lose!’ group.

The ending was a harem, but at the time, it wasn’t even decided whether it was pure love or a harem, so I remember reading articles where readers gathered according to the heroine they supported and fiercely checked each other in places like communities.

‘…I didn’t write any articles there.’

At that time, the kids I was close to had no connection with things like comics, and rather, they hated them extremely.

If my sister hadn’t recommended me to watch comics, I probably wouldn’t have gone to such a community.

But there were many interesting articles, and this was one of them.

-I want to put Baek Ahra next to me and play scary movies for 24 hours and startle her from the side and make her teary-eyed.

It was a violent article, but I also wanted to try it once while watching the comic.

I never dreamed that it would really come true.

“Here, a handkerchief.”

I enjoyed it well, so I hand her a handkerchief with a little apology.

“…It’s like giving someone a disease and then giving them medicine.”

Baek Ahra swiped the handkerchief and gently dabbed the area around her eyes to carefully wipe away the tears.

‘Sohee and Jia are…’

The two, who were sad that they couldn’t sit next to me by playing rock-paper-scissors, were eagerly eating popcorn and immersed in the movie.

Well, after all, those two were the ones who suggested watching this movie.

I stopped looking around and now focus on the screen.

The previous episode was a bit distracting because I was teasing Baek Ahra, and the atmosphere itself was more to my liking this time, so I focus more.

The characters are a long-haired woman and a short-haired woman.

And the place is a abandoned hospital. 

It seems that a scary atmosphere is being created as they enter the hospital, so it seems that some kind of incident will happen soon.

-Let’s go back…

-No, still, we can’t go back after coming this far…!

‘Now it’s going to be…’

The two seemed to be unaware, but the arm model that they had ignored as a model was now close behind them.

And, straight to the long-haired woman’s ankle…

Grab!

“Eek!?”

I was surprised that my right arm was suddenly grabbed, and a strange sound came out.

It was even the quietest part of the movie, so my voice echoed like an echo, doubling the embarrassment.

“…”

–Screams!!!!!

Other people’s gazes are stinging.

On the screen, the actor was screaming, but I couldn’t watch the movie and turned my head to the culprit who grabbed my right arm.

“Hey.”

“Huuu…really, why is the wrist moving…Huuua…bloodstains, I hate them…”

“…”

‘She’s broken.’

A little while ago, she seemed to at least try to watch even when a scary scene came out, but now she was trembling with her eyes closed and her head leaning towards me.

Seeing that appearance, the words I was going to say to Baek Ahra disappeared.

-Please, come inside the door quickly…!

-Don’t come! Don’t come!

Bang. Bang. Crack.

“Eek…!”

The actors were now playing tag with the body models, and bizarre scenes increased one by one, and accordingly, the sounds that were heard were also strange sounds that were not of this world.

Perhaps it was because she was spreading the wings of imagination while listening to it, Baek Ahra’s trembling increased even more.

And, the distance also became closer.

‘How far is she going to come?’

Originally, her head was moderately separated, but now she was rubbing my shoulder.

Not only that, but her whole body was hanging on my right arm.

It’s a possible posture because the armrest of the chair in this movie theater is thin, but honestly, it’s burdensome.

First of all, the soft parts are felt vividly, which is a problem.

I thought that if I became a woman, physical contact between women would be okay, but I realized that even if my gender changed, the softness of a woman was clearly felt when Baek Ahra hugged me.

Like when the president grabbed my chin before, I feel a strange feeling for no reason, so I wish she would refrain…

“I hate it, I hate it…”

‘It’s hard to say that in this state…’

Originally, I would have pushed her away a little, but I couldn’t push her away because I remembered the incident before watching the movie when she hugged me.

I’m weak to people approaching me…

‘Should I just leave her alone?’

I decided to let her hold on until she wanted to.

She’ll let go on her own later.

It was when I was slowly trying to focus on the movie again.

Grab.

This time, my left arm was grabbed.

Why is she doing this too?

“Sejeong…?”

When I spoke softly like a whisper, an answer came back from Yoon Sejeong.

“Ah, I’m sorry. I was scared, so I grabbed it without realizing it…”

‘No way.’

Yoon Sejeong looks like she wouldn’t be able to watch scary things, but she doesn’t fear things like ghosts or ghost stories.

No, rather, she’s the type to watch it with excitement.

In the original work, it was Yoon Sejeong who chose the horror movie when she watched a movie with Baek Ahra, and she was also active when going to haunted houses.

I knew that, so I said it would be okay when Sohee and Jia brought up horror movies as recommendations.

Where is she telling such an obvious lie to me?

“Are you scared?”

“Yeah.”

“It doesn’t seem like you’re very scared…”

“N, no…I’m really scared.”

Perhaps she was stabbed in the heart, her head couldn’t face me straight and wandered around.

Her eyes in her glasses would probably be wandering around as well.

‘Hmm…’

Why is she doing this?

Ah.

‘Is that so?’

Sohee and Jia were close to each other, and until a little while ago, I was also close to Baek Ahra.

From Yoon Sejeong’s point of view, she must have felt like she was stuck.

‘I didn’t notice this.’

So, this was a so-called whining.

She wants to be close with me too.

“…Really? Then, hold on until you’re okay.”

This, there was also a part where I was at fault for not paying attention, so I obediently give her my arm.

“…Is that okay?”

“Do whatever you want.”

“Then…excuse me.”

Squish.

A heavier mass than Baek Ahra’s is placed on my left arm.

‘I didn’t mean to stick that close, though…’

The screen was still showing the movie, and my eyes were also directed that way.

But, my mind was divided to both sides, to the point where I didn’t know what I was watching.

It seems like I’ve seen enough of the movie at this point.

…I’ll definitely buy the Blu-ray later.
