We’re NOT A Couple! — Chapter 13

LET'S GO ON A DATE.

LIKE A REAL COUPLE.

IT'LL DEFINITELY HELP WITH OUR ACTING.

I HEARD RUMORS IN THE INDUSTRY THAT KIBEOM DIDN'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT WHAT OTHERS THOUGHT OF HIM...

THAT HE JUST WENT HIS OWN F*CKING WAY...

BUT STILL...

A SPA...

AND A COUPLE'S SAUNA?!

ARE WE REALLY AT A MASSAGE PARLOR?!

AND HE JUST TOOK HIS SHIRT OFF LIKE IT'S NOTHING...

I'M SO EMBARRASSED I COULD DIE... SHOULD I NOT HAVE COME?

A MARRIED COUPLE WITH 20 YEARS OF MASSAGE EXPERIENCE.

ACK?!

BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT FEELS SOOOO GOOD...!

HOW IS IT? THEY'RE PRETTY GOOD HERE, RIGHT?

...YEAH.

WE WILL NOW WRAP UP YOUR SESSION.

...I MEAN, I'M A NOBODY, SO WHATEVER...

BUT HE'S FAMOUS.

IS IT REALLY OKAY IF PEOPLE FIND OUT HE'S DOING THIS WITH A GIRL?

HOW OBLIVIOUS CAN HE BE?

*MEANWHILE, THE MASSEUSE'S THOUGHTS...

I DON'T CARE ABOUT CELEBS. JUST LET ME CLOCK OUT.

SO THEY SAY.

That was nice...

YOU SHOULDN'T BE SATISFIED ALREADY.

THE REAL FUN STARTS NOW.

STARTS NOW...?!

LET'S NOT WORRY ABOUT WHAT ANYONE ELSE THINKS TODAY, NAEUN.

I'VE ALWAYS WONDERED... CAN YOU SCRATCH THE ICE HERE?

What are you doing lol?

SO WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT OTHERS...

I STILL WONDERED IF THIS WAS OKAY,

AH.

The egg didn't break.

GASP, I'M SORRY!

I SERIOUSLY WONDERED IF THIS WAS OKAY...

YAY! GOAL!

THIS IS WAAAAY TOO FUN!

THRILL! FREEDOM! LIBERATION!

WH-WHAT...?!

WHAT? A GUY CAN'T PAT HIS CUTE GIRLFRIEND'S HEAD?

G-GIRLFRIEND?!

WEREN'T WE SUPPOSED TO ACT LIKE A COUPLE TODAY?

I GUESS I'M THE BETTER ACTOR.

WHAT WAS THAT?

I'M HUNGRY. SHOULD WE GET SOMETHING TO EAT?

SURE.

SHE REALLY IS NAIVE.

THAT LOOKS SOOO GOOD!

WANT ME TO GET YOU A HAIR TIE?

NO, IT'S FINE.

...THE SCENT OF HER SHAMPOO.

I CAN JUST TIE IT WITH THE LOCKER KEY!

HERE, SAY AHH.

BRING IT ON! I'LL PLAY THE PART OF THE GIRLFRIEND PERFECTLY!

SERIOUSLY...

AHH.

You're gonna eat your hair lol

yum

AND SO CAME THE SUGAR SPIKE.

SHE PASSES OUT THE SECOND HER HEAD HITS THE FLOOR.

WHAT TIME WAS OUR LATE-NIGHT MOVIE AGAIN?

WE STILL HAVE 3 HOURS LEFT.

CAN I TAKE A LITTLE NAP THEN?

WH-WHAT?! WHY DID YOU FOLLOW ME IN?!

I'M GOING TO SLEEP NEXT TO MY GIRLFRIEND.

YOU'RE TAKING IT THIS FAR? YOUR METHOD OF ACTING IS RUTHLESS.

Hmph, I hope your arm gets numb!

IT DOESN'T EVEN HURT HEHE

ARE YOU AWAKE?

UGH... DID YOU SLEEP WELL?

I SLEPT GREAT.

?

THE EGG MARK IS GONE.

THANK GOODNESS...

SHOULD WE WASH UP AND HEAD TO THE MOVIES NOW?

...SURE.

GASP? ISN'T THAT YOON KIBEOM?

WHO'S THAT?

A CELEBRITY! HE'S THE GUY WHO DATED AN IDOL!

A CELEBRITY LIKE HIM COMES TO A SAUNA LIKE THIS?

I can't even tell who is who.

CRAZY, HE'S ALREADY WITH ANOTHER GIRL.

WOW...

SO THIS IS WHAT A VIP THEATER LOOKS LIKE...

I THOUGHT HE LIKED THRIFTY AND CAREFREE DATES.

BUT FOR THE MOVIE, WE CAME TO A PRIVATE SPOT...

It's a bit unexpected...

THE INTERIOR IS SO LUXURIOUS...!

I BOUGHT OUT THE REMAINING SEATS SO WE CAN WATCH COMFORTABLY.

HUH?! YOU WENT THAT FAR?

THANKS TO THAT, WE COULD FOCUS ON THE MOVIE WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT OTHERS,

AND IT WAS EASY TO CHAT AND ANALYZE THE ACTING, BUT...

HOW WAS IT?

HMM, THE EMOTIONAL ARC OF THE ROMANCE MOVIE WAS GREAT,

AND OUR DATE WAS GREAT TOO!

HMM?

AH, I MEANT IT WAS GREAT BECAUSE IT'LL BE A GOOD REFERENCE FOR ACTING!

HAHA, SURE.

I HAVEN'T FULLY FIGURED OUT HIS QUIRKY PERSONALITY YET,

BUT THAT FREE-SPIRITED MINDSET...

Don't Get The Wrong Idea;

MIGHT BE WHAT THE WOMEN HE DATED IN THE INDUSTRY LIKED ABOUT HIM...

HIS NATURALLY DISPLAYED MANNERS WERE NICE, EVEN IF IT WAS JUST ACTING.

IT'S LIKE HE'S ALWAYS OVERFLOWING WITH CONFIDENCE.

YOU ARE ACTUALLY PRETTY SIMILAR TO YOUR DRAMA CHARACTER!

BURNING PASSION FOR LEARNING.

I REALLY THINK THE DATE HELPED.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

IT HELPED ME A LOT, TOO.

YOU'RE EXACTLY LIKE YOUR DRAMA CHARACTER, NAEUN.

REALLY? WHAT'S YOUR ANALYSIS OF ME?

NAEUN, YOU'RE...

KIBEOM?

WHY IS SHE HERE...?!

GASP?!

WHAT A COINCIDENCE.

FANCY SEEING YOU HERE.

IT'S YERA...?!

KIBEOM'S EX-GIRLFRIEND!

IT'S BEEN A WHILE, KIBEOM.
