The layout of this apartment was really nice. Three secondary bedrooms were on the left side of the entryway foyer, and one of them had been opened up by Han So-yeon to create an open-plan multi-purpose room. The master bedroom was on its own on the other side of the apartment, and the middle area held the living-dining space, the kitchen, a bathroom, and a huge terrace.
The overall square footage wasn't huge, but the place felt great. For someone living alone, it was actually much cozier than one of those sprawling five- or six-hundred-square-meter penthouses.
Su Yang walked over to the terrace to take a look. It was very spacious — perfect for inviting a few friends over for a BBQ when there was nothing else to do.
He did a quick loop of the place and came back to sit down on the sofa in the living room.
"Yeah, I should buy an apartment tomorrow too. Then I won't have to stay in a hotel whenever I come to Shanghai."
"Although, come to think of it, I haven't really stayed in many hotels anyway, have I?" He chuckled to himself, pulling out his phone and opening up TuanTuan to search for private cinemas in Shanghai.
Just as he was scrolling, a voice called out from the hallway behind the living room: "Su Yang... oppa..."
Hearing that, Su Yang jerked his head around and replied, "What did you call me?"
"Oh, that's what girls in Korea call their boyfriends." Han So-yeon's voice came out, but she wasn't visible.
Su Yang stood up and replied, "How about you just call me Brother Su Yang? The word 'oppa' gives me goosebumps."
"Sure, that works. Anyway, I just changed clothes, but I still smell a bit. I want to take a quick shower — can you wait a few minutes?"
"Sure, go ahead. No rush."
"Okay, I'll wash up in the bedroom. If you want to shower too, you can use the bathroom outside."
Su Yang lifted his hand and sniffed. Apart from his clothes, he did have a bit of an odor on him too.
He replied, "Alright, I'll take one too."
"Okay."
Han So-yeon acknowledged and walked into the bedroom. Su Yang got up and headed to the bathroom on the left side of the living room. He was quick — a quick rinse took him just five minutes.
After finishing, he pulled out a cigarette, walked onto the terrace, and sat down for a smoke.
He scrolled through TuanTuan for a while and found a private cinema with pretty good reviews, located in Jing'an District.
This private cinema had three sizes of private rooms: large, medium, and small. The large rooms could fit six people, the medium ones four, and the small ones two.
The rooms came in different themes: Starry Sky, Post-Apocalyptic Wasteland, Sci-Fi, Underwater World, Pink Romance, and so on.
Su Yang checked out the small rooms. Each one came equipped with air conditioning, a sofa or double bed, 2K HD projection, and professional surround sound speakers.
On top of that, there was free Wi-Fi and complimentary fruit and drinks.
"Hmm, not bad. I don't think I've ever been to a private cinema with anyone. Worth a try. Which room should I book?"
Su Yang went back to the selection screen and looked again. There were still plenty of medium and large rooms available, but for small rooms, only the Pink Romance one was left.
"Ugh... man, that's way too pink!" Su Yang clicked on it to take a closer look.
He personally wasn't a fan of that flashy pink, but booking a medium or large room for just two people didn't feel right.
While he was debating whether to switch to a different place, Han So-yeon came out from the back of the apartment.
She had changed into an all-white outfit: a white Balenciaga halter top with a blue heart pattern printed on the front, a white tiered mini skirt, white thin JK-style knee-high socks on her legs, and a white Valentino bag slung over her shoulder.
Su Yang looked her over and gave a thumbs up. "That outfit looks really good on you."
"Really?" Pleased by the compliment, Han So-yeon happily spread her arms and spun around.
"Yeah, nice. Even though your face looks a bit cold and aloof, wearing this makes you look really sweet!"
"Haha, yeah, I can't help it. My face shape makes me look a bit cold, but inside I'm really not."
"True."
"Okay, so have you already washed up?"
"Yeah, I took a shower."
"Great, let's head out then."
"Hold on. I'm checking out private cinemas right now. I found a good one, but the small room only has one option left. Take a look and see if you like this style. If you do, I'll book it. If not, we'll go somewhere else."
Su Yang walked over to Han So-yeon and handed her his phone.
She tilted her head to look at the picture on the phone, widened her eyes, and laughed. "Wow, that pink?"
"Yeah. The good themes are all booked up. This is the only small room left. There are still medium and large rooms available, but for two people, a small room feels more right."
"No worries, let's go with this one."
"This one? Are you sure?"
"I'm sure. It's very pink, but the vibe looks nice."
"Alright, this one it is." Su Yang quickly booked the last Pink Romance room.
When they were done, they walked to the entrance, and Han So-yeon opened the shoe cabinet and picked out a pair of white Adidas Samba shoes. At this point, apart from her hair, everything she was wearing was white.
Su Yang unconsciously glanced down at her collarbone area and said with a smile, "So white."
"Well, I figured if I'm going for white, I might as well go all white." Han So-yeon didn't notice where Su Yang was looking.
She slipped on her shoes and said, "Let's go~"
"Let's go. By the way, do you have a car?"
"Yeah, but I don't drive much. I usually just take taxis when I go out."
"I'll drive! No taxis. Did you bring your car keys?"
"No, they're at home."
"Go grab them, then."
"Okay. Though, I have two cars. Which one do you want to drive?"
"What cars?" asked Su Yang.
"A Panamera and a Lotus Emira."
"Oh? You have an Emira?"
"Yeah, I bought it last year. I really loved the look of it at the time, but I'm just a three-minute passion kind of person. I drove it a bit when I first got it, but after that, I rarely touched it."
"Then let's take that one. I've never driven a Lotus before."
"Sure~" Han So-yeon agreed, walked back inside, and took the car keys from a shelf by the shoe cabinet.
Keys in hand, the two of them took the elevator down to the basement parking level.
A few steps later, Su Yang saw two dedicated parking spots about seven or eight meters ahead, holding a yellow Lotus Emira sports car and a white Panamera GTS.
"Nice cars, both of them. You just don't like driving?"
Han So-yeon nodded, then shook her head. "No, it's not that. How should I put it? I feel like it's so hard to find a parking spot when I drive, and my reverse parking skills are terrible. Every time I go out and have to park, I get so nervous. So I just stopped driving altogether."
"Haha, driving is just something you get better at with practice. The more you drive, the more comfortable you'll be."
"Come on, let's get in." Su Yang pressed the key fob.
The headlights of the Lotus Emira flashed, and the two of them opened the doors and got in.
Su Yang set the navigation, then started the engine and drove out of the complex.
The distance from Han So-yeon's place to Jing'an District wasn't far — about seven or eight kilometers.
It was 9 PM by now, and traffic was no longer heavy. Around ten minutes later, Su Yang drove the car into the bustling stretch of Xikang Road in Jing'an District. Around here at night, there were tons of people. It was very lively.
The private cinema he had booked was right at the entrance to West Kang Road, and it came with its own dedicated open-air parking lot. Su Yang parked the car and got out together with Han So-yeon.
As soon as she got out of the car, Han So-yeon trotted over to Su Yang and took his hand.
Su Yang laughed. “What movie do you want to watch later?”
“I’m fine with anything. As long as I’m with you, I’ll watch whatever.”
“Ha-ha, not bad. You’re getting the hang of it now, aren’t you? Feeling it out, right?”
Han So-yeon nodded with a smile. “Mm-hm, I’m starting to get a feel for it. I actually really like this feeling.”
“Then just enjoy it.”
“Oh, by the way, Brother Su Yang, how old are you this year?” Han So-yeon looked up at him and asked.
“Why the sudden question?”
“I just want to get to know you better.”
“Oh, alright. I’m 24 right now, but next month I’ll turn 25.”
“I’ll be 22 soon too.”
“Really? Which month is your birthday?”
“December 6th.”
“That’s coming up soon.”
“Mm... and how tall are you?” Han So-yeon pressed on.
“180.”
“I’m 168. We’re a perfect match in height~”
“Ha-ha, not bad.”
“How long do you plan to stay in Shanghai?”
Su Yang thought for a moment and said, “Probably not too long. I mean, I’m heading to Europe, right?”
“Oh yeah, I forgot about that. But your visa probably won’t come through that fast, will it?” Han So-yeon kept staring at him.
“It should be ready within three days.”
“Three days... then...”
Su Yang noticed that she was hesitating, so he asked, “If you want to say something, just say it.”
“I... this afternoon I said that this pretend-relationship would last until tomorrow noon. But now I want to ask you if we could extend it for another two days?”
