“What? Two more days?” Su Yang turned his head, stunned.
Han So-yeon pursed her lips and nodded. “Mm-hmm, one day was way too short. I’d just started getting into it when it got dark. Can we have two more days? Please, please~”
‘Damn, is she acting cute? Man, I can’t handle women acting cute. Ugh, what do I do?’ Su Yang thought for a moment and stayed silent.
Seeing his hesitation, Han So-yeon tugged at his hand, shook it, and asked pitifully, “Oppa~ can we?”
“Whoa!! Don’t do that—I can’t take it!”
“Can’t take what?” Han So-yeon blinked with big, innocent eyes.
“Uh... nothing. You mean you want it to end only on the day I leave for Europe, right?”
“Yeah, that’s exactly what I mean!”
Su Yang scratched his brow, hesitated for half a second, and said, “Mm... fine... alright!”
“You’re saying yes?”
“Yeah, yeah, I said yes.”
“Haha, I knew you were the best!! Come on, let’s go watch a movie!” Han So-yeon’s face instantly lit up with a bright smile. She pressed close to Su Yang, happily linking her arm through his as they headed toward the entrance of the private cinema.
‘Eh, whatever!’ Su Yang couldn’t be bothered to overthink it. Things were already like this; two more days didn’t really matter.
The two quickly reached a building not far from the street. The private cinema he’d booked was inside this building, and they walked in and took the elevator up to the third floor.
When the elevator doors opened, they were in the cinema’s lobby. The lobby was decorated like a coffee shop, with dim lighting and a vintage feel. Su Yang led Han So-yeon to the front desk to check in.
That was done quickly, and a female staff member led them toward the back of the lobby. The cinema itself had three floors in total—from the third to the fifth floor—all belonging to this establishment. Su Yang’s small private room was on the fifth floor. Following the staff member onto an internal elevator and up to the fifth floor, they wound their way around until they reached a door to a private booth.
The girl swiped the card, opened the door, and handed the card to Su Yang. “Handsome, here’s the room card for the booth. Please keep it safe.”
“Hey, quick question—how long can we stay in this booth? I didn’t pay much attention when I booked.”
The girl smiled and said, “You booked the overnight package, which allows you to stay 12 hours. It’s 10 p.m. now, so it lasts until 10 a.m. tomorrow.”
“Whoa, that long?”
“Yes.”
“So this is basically like a hotel, then?”
“Uh... you could say that. The overnight packages come in 3-hour, 5-hour, and 12-hour options. Either way, you can stay in the booth the whole time within your timeframe.”
“Oh, got it.”
“Please, come in.” The girl gestured for Su Yang and Han So-yeon to enter first, then followed them in.
The booth looked exactly like the photos Su Yang had seen on Tuantuan, except it was actually roomier in person. Almost everything inside was pink—pink walls, pink bed, pink table, pink lighting, and so on.
The staff member turned on the projector, fiddled with it for a moment, and set a remote on the table. “I’ve turned on the projector for you two. Would you like anything to drink?”
“What do you have?” Su Yang asked.
“Coffee, tea, cola, soda water, milk tea, and beer.”
“You have beer?” Han So-yeon laughed.
“Yes. Besides drinks, we also have main dishes and snacks. For mains we have fried rice, noodles, and wontons; for snacks we have fried chicken, fries, popcorn, and more.”
“Pretty extensive, huh? Suyan, what do you want to drink?”
Han So-yeon thought for a second, then said, “I want beer~”
“Bee... you want beer?”
“Mm-hmm~”
“Alright, what about food?”
“I’ll have some popcorn and a serving of fried chicken.”
“OK.” Su Yang turned to the staff member and said, “Should I order directly with you, or scan a code?”
“Just tell me directly.”
“Okay. Is your beer sold by the bottle or by the case?”
“Uh... we have them in cans.”
“Fine, give me ten cans of beer, one cola, plus the fried chicken and popcorn she mentioned.”
“Uh, handsome, our items come with the first one free.”
“So only one can of beer is free, right?”
“Yes.” The girl nodded with a smile.
“Fair enough. Just get me ten cans—I’ll pay for the rest.”
“Alright, handsome. That’s everything for now?”
“That’s it for now.”
“Okay, one moment, please.” The girl smiled, turned around, and shut the door behind her.
Han So-yeon sat on the bed, laughing. “How much per hour is this place?”
Su Yang thought for a second and replied, “I paid 960 for 12 hours, so that’s about 80 an hour.”
“Okay, come sit down.”
“Alright.” Su Yang agreed, walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and picked up the remote to browse the screen on the wall in front.
While scrolling through films, Su Yang asked, “What kind of movie do you want to watch?”
“What do you want to watch?”
“I’m fine with anything. It’s up to you.”
“I want to watch... that kind of...”
“You want to watch... that kind of what?” Su Yang turned his head, eyes wide and stunned.
“Can we?”
“No, wait—this isn’t about whether we can or not. The issue is that us two watching that kind of movie here might be a bit too...”
“They don’t have it?” Han So-yeon asked blankly.
“Uh... they probably don’t have that kind of thing in a place like this. Actually, even if they did, wouldn’t it be inappropriate?”
“What, are you scared of horror movies?” Han So-yeon asked.
“H-hor... oh, you mean horror movies?” Su Yang paused.
“What did you think I meant?”
“Damn.” Su Yang let out a slightly awkward laugh. “Haha, nothing. I meant horror movies too. Yeah, they have those—plenty of them.”
“So, do you dare to watch?”
“I totally dare to. But are you sure you dare?”
“I’m pretty scared, but I really love the creepy vibe. I don’t dare to watch alone, but now that you’re here, I’m not scared.”
“Haha, alright then. Let’s watch a horror movie—give me a sec.” Su Yang turned his head and rubbed his nose, looking at the screen, thinking: ‘I didn’t think she’d be that bold. Then again, no, it’s not that. If it were that, I wouldn’t mind watching one, haha.’
He smiled to himself and started looking for a movie. If they were watching a horror film, he might as well pick a proper scary one—otherwise it wouldn’t be fun.
“Brother Su Yang, you keep looking. I’m going to the bathroom.” Han So-yeon got up and headed toward the washroom inside the booth.
“Okay, go ahead.”
Su Yang navigated the menu and found the horror category. These private cinemas had almost everything except the newest releases and films that couldn’t be shown, and they were all free.
Actually, Su Yang himself had never watched many horror movies. He wasn’t scared of them, but he just wasn’t that into the genre, so he’d only seen a few.
He pulled out his phone and searched for horror movie rankings. An old film called “Sudden Resentment” came up as a candidate. Just looking at the poster gave off a creepy vibe, though he wasn’t sure if Han So-yeon had already seen it.
A few minutes later, Han So-yeon came out of the restroom.
Su Yang turned to her. “Suyan, have you seen Sudden Resentment?”
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
