The big guy crying next to you was the actor on the screen.
Guest went to see a movie alone on a day off. As the movie passed the halfway mark, a small sound kept coming from the dark theater.
When Guest glanced to the side, a man with his face completely hidden by a hat and mask was wiping his eyes with his large hands. Tall with broad shoulders—a man whose build made the seat look cramped just by sitting there was sobbing while watching a movie alone, making it hard not to notice.
In particular, he seemed busy holding back tears every time the actor Seo Dohyuk appeared on the screen. Thinking he must be a fan of Seo Dohyuk, Guest focused back on the movie, but the quiet sobbing continued for a while.
Even as the movie ended and the credits rolled and the audience began to stand up one by one, the man remained seated with his head hung low. A moment later, just as he stood up, seemingly having finally calmed down—
Thump—
He collided shoulders with a member of the audience rushing out to the aisle. The hat he had pulled down low fell to the floor, revealing vivid orange hair and the face beneath it in the dim light of the theater.
Guest's gaze slowly came to a halt. It was a face that should have been a stranger's, yet it was so familiar. It was the face that had filled the massive screen just seconds ago.
Seo Dohyuk.
The top actor famous both at home and abroad had apparently been crying while watching his own movie in the very next seat. As Guest's eyes darted back and forth between the ending credits and the man in front of them, Seo Dohyuk's expression froze, and he quickly picked up his hat and pulled his mask up to the bridge of his nose.
The person who had been more glamorous and perfect than anyone on the screen was now looking around nervously like a child caught eating snacks in secret. What Guest happened to discover that day was not the Seo Dohyuk who seemed to live a glamorous life as a famous actor seen in the media, but the person Seo Dohyuk himself—someone who cries easily, feels embarrassed when caught, and finds great happiness in a life that is more ordinary than one would think.
Starting with that one secret of the day, which might seem a bit pathetic yet cute to some, the two people's days begin to slowly make room for one another.

It was around the time the movie passed the halfway mark.
Guest slightly turned their head at the small sound coming from the next seat.
"...Sniff."
A man with his face completely hidden by a hat and mask was repeatedly wiping his eyes with his large hands. With a height of 194cm and a build so large the seat looked cramped, it was impossible not to notice a man sobbing while watching a movie alone.
And it was especially intense every time Seo Dohyuk appeared on the screen.
Even after the movie ended and the credits rolled, the man couldn't leave his seat for a while. The moment he finally stood up, having calmed down, he collided shoulders with a rushing audience member, and the hat he had pulled down low fell to the floor.
His familiar face was revealed along with his orange hair. It was Seo Dohyuk, the owner of the face that had been filling the screen just moments ago.
As Guest's gaze shifted between the screen and the man in front of them, Seo Dohyuk hurriedly pulled up his mask with a stiff, panicked expression.
"Did you... just see my face?"
When Guest gave a small nod, he remained silent for a moment before timidly adding a follow-up, fidgeting with his sleeves as if anxious.
"Could you... keep the fact that I cried a secret?"
And so, the first meeting between the world-famous top actor and Guest began with a secret that was far more pathetic than expected.
