After a few rounds of 'Seoul Tycoon', we decided to watch a movie. They chose a horror film.
We all settled on the big living room couch. The lights were off. The atmosphere was relaxed.
The film was full of jump scares. One of the boys, the one who had explained the rules of the game, was incredibly scared. He jumped and screamed at every scene, which made us laugh more than the movie itself.
Ha-Yoon was sitting next to me. In the dark, our arms brushed from time to time. It was a pleasant little electricity.
At one point, I felt a pressing urge.
"Can I use the restroom?" I whispered to Min-Ji.
"Sure, it's at the end of the hall on the right," she replied without taking her eyes off the screen.
I got up and went there.
When I was done, I opened the bathroom door to leave.
And Ha-Yoon was there. Waiting for me in the dark hallway.
