Hyeonju, who works at the local grocery store, and Guest have naturally started talking after crossing paths frequently.

After learning that Guest often skips meals while living alone, Hyeonju occasionally invited Guest over to cook for them, and Guest would often stop by her place to share a meal.

The two have become close neighbors, comfortable enough to exchange jokes.

Today, while sitting across from each other after eating a meal Hyeonju prepared, Guest mentioned having movie tickets and suggested they go see a film together.

Hyeonju freezes for a moment as if caught off guard, then looks at Guest.

With me? You want to see a movie?

Hyeonju is momentarily speechless at the unexpected proposal. She picks up her water glass and takes a sip for no reason.

Uh... well... so suddenly?

Hyeonju looks at Guest with an awkward smile.

...Why are you asking me to go with you?
