Tales From a Run-down Movie Theater
Kyuhyun has the worst job in the whole world.
Now you would think that, working in a movie theater and all, he would be praising the benefits of being employed there. It’s a relatively clean environment, it’s indoors, there’s easy access to snacks and soft drinks, and there’s pretty much a free-for-all pass to all the films you can watch.
Sadly, that is not the case.
Kyuhyun did enjoy all of that, like, the first couple of weeks after he was hired, but then it got old quickly. Very quickly. You know that saying about how there can be too much of a good thing?
Yeah, that’s kind of what happened.
The novelty wore off, and Kyuhyun is left wondering why he opted to get a freaking part-time job in the first place instead of just sitting at home playing Starcraft (answer: So he can save up money to buy more video games and the accompanying accessories).
It appalls Kyuhyun, really, just how unglamorous a cinema is once you’re on the employed end of the stick. In fact, he even loses his appetite for all junk food after the third day of sweeping up stepped-on popcorn and mopping up spilled sodas. At least it’s not as bad as some of the things he has had to clean up in the bathrooms. Kyuhyun still shudders at the mere thought of that one thing during that one time at that one place and yeah…
So once Kyuhyun finally takes in the worn out seats and faded carpet and dirty (so dirty) nooks and crannies, he vows to never ever work at a movie theater again. Granted, he has been promoted to being a projectionist, but there are only so many times he can sit through a sappy romantic comedy before he gets the urge to bash himself in his head.
But it’s not all that bad. See, there’s this guy.
Ah, a guy, you might say, nodding your head knowingly. Perhaps it’s a rich customer who chances upon Kyuhyun, falls in love a first sight, and whisks him away to a life of luxury. Or maybe there’s a coworker who Kyuhyun has an unrequited love for but has never confessed to for fear of rejection. A childhood friend who loves him though Kyuhyun says he doesn’t return the feelings even though he actually does?
Well, no.
See, there’s this guy. A customer. A frequent customer who, without fail except for when the theater is closed, shows up every single Wednesday night to watch whatever’s playing at that time. And conveniently, it’s always during Kyuhyun’s shift.
Now, one can chalk it up to mere coincidence, but the thing is, Kyuhyun is responsible for a certain type of movie. Films he has shown include the aforementioned sappy romantic comedies, old black and white films with unpronounceable titles, horror movies with horrendously fake gore and even worse acting, and so on. In other words, the movies that nobody wants to see.
But obviously someone does want to see them, because there is always a lone figure patiently waiting in the middle seat of the middle row of the room when Kyuhyun peeks through the projection window.
The customer’s name is Lee Sungmin. He’s a college student, like Kyuhyun, and he enjoys going to the movies to blow off some steam from the mild stresses of summer school. His least favorite day of the week is Wednesday, he prefers nachos over popcorn, he personally tested all the seats in the room before deciding on his permanent seat, he laughs and cries even when it’s not very funny or sad, and he kind of has a thing for the projectionist who coincidentally runs all of the movies he watches.
Kyuhyun is not aware of any of this. He only knows that there is a guy, whose back of the head is very attractive (because that’s the only part of the guy Kyuhyun can see), who watches crappy movies every Wednesday night.
They do not acknowledge each other for the better part of a month, so imagine Kyuhyun’s surprise when the guy stands up after a film about magical robot ninjas fighting things that go bump in the night, turns around, and waves right at him.
Kyuhyun’s first reaction is to look over his shoulder to see if the guy is waving at someone else (which, upon retrospect, was just plain stupid since he was the only one in the projection booth). His next move is to think, “Oh crap, that guy is hot.” And finally, he registers that said hot guy is still waving at him, so, being the socially adept young man that he is, Kyuhyun takes the appropriate action.
He dives behind the nearest projector and greets the wall headfirst.
Leeteuk, the manager, comes in to find Kyuhyun knocked out cold on the ground- nothing that can’t be fixed with a few (gleeful) slaps to the face and a long-winded scolding about sleeping on the job.
Of course, Kyuhyun is mortified that the hot guy had to witness him make a fool out of himself (unbeknownst to him, Sungmin assumed, disappointedly, that the cute projectionist’s back was turned at the time), so he makes a point to prepare himself mentally (playing out different scenarios in his head) and physically (waving in the mirror). When next Wednesday rolls around, Kyuhyun triumphantly returns the hot guy’s greeting with a small wave of his own (to Sungmin’s delight).
This waving ritual continues for a few more weeks until one day, the hot guy turns around before the movie starts and begins beckoning Kyuhyun to come down. Kyuhyun ducks behind the nearest projector (Sungmin thinks it’s incredibly adorable) while taking care to avoid the wall because, oh dear god, he did not practice for this.
When Kyuhyun finally regains his composure, he squares his shoulders, stands up tall before the window, and firmly shakes his head no.
Unfortunately, all that Sungmin can see (and has ever seen) of Kyuhyun is a dark outline, so to the former, it just looks as though the projectionist with the cute silhouette got a bad case of the bobble-head. As the head bobbing could mean ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ or ‘I’m trying to get rid of a fly without moving my body,’ Sungmin raises his arm again to gesture for the projectionist to come down.
Kyuhyun nearly has a heart attack because he did not prepare for this either. Kyuhyun thinks, horrified, that perhaps the hot guy belongs to some culture where shaking your head means yes or something along those lines. How in the world are they going to communicate now? He (mentally) rips out his hair in despair. Well, if head shaking doesn’t work, then arm waving might.
From the dimly lit theater, Sungmin wonders why the projectionist is now imitating a crazy bear let loose at a cheerleading convention, but he deduces that it must be an exaggerated way of conveying excitement, so Sungmin beckons even harder to show his own excitement.
This, in turn, prompts Kyuhyun to spaz even more because, oh lord, must the guy be so persistent? Not that it isn’t, you know, hot, but Kyuhyun has reels to change and machines to run and his boss could drop by any second.
And speak of the devil. Leeteuk walks in to find Kyuhyun jumping up and down with gusto and flailing his limbs every which way. He cheerfully informs the younger that, since he has reformed his lazy ways and become so enthusiastic about working here, he should take all that youthful energy and channel it into cleaning the staff bathrooms before he leaves.
Kyuhyun doesn’t join the hot guy that day, but that doesn’t stop said hot guy from trying again the next week. And the next. And the week after that. And you get the point.
Because if there’s one thing that Sungmin has learned in his couple decades of living, it is that stubbornness will eventually get you what you want. So it is sheer stubbornness that spurs Sungmin into inviting the cute projectionist again and again to join him after each rejection, sheer stubbornness that moves him to face that shadowy figure and wordlessly insist that the other come down, sheer stubbornness that drives him to buy two servings of nachos and sodas as a subtle attempt at bribery.
But it is sheer pride that restrains Sungmin from just marching up to the projection booth and manhandling the scrawny looking silhouette into sitting with him. Say what you will about Sungmin, but he’s not that desperate (or unconfident about his own charms).
And it is sheer apprehension that has Kyuhyun holing himself up in his little sanctuary of a projection booth, watching as the hot guy deliberately sets the second box of nachos and soda on the seat next to him week after week. The sheer jealousy Kyuhyun feels when that empty seat is sometimes occupied by Shindong (the one who runs the concession stand) or Henry (the kid who sells tickets) or any of the other workers whom the hot guy befriends is not enough to make Kyuhyun go down there.
However, it is with sheer indignation that Kyuhyun finally ventures into uncharted waters. While under the supposed influence during a night of too much glug glug woohoo (isn’t the kid too young to drink?), Henry ‘accidentally’ lets things slip. Zhou Mi, who is part of the clean-up crew once a movie ends, then blabs about poor Kui Xian’s boy problems to Donghae, the dude in charge of all things beverage-related (namely getting stains out of carpets and fixing the spluttering old gal known as the soda machine).
Donghae, in turn, rats Kyuhyun out to Heechul, the projectionist in charge of children’s movies (Kyuhyun’s surprised that Heechul doesn’t splice single frames of pornography into family films; perhaps he doesn’t have a split personality after all), who shows up one day during Kyuhyun’s shift and kicks him out of the projection booth. Literally.
So, nursing a bruised ego and a footprint on the seat of his pants (which idiot came up with the idea of having white uniform pants? Oh right, his boss), Kyuhyun gingerly eases himself into the coveted seat next to the hot guy.
It takes every ounce of control in Sungmin’s body, and then some, to not jump the projectionist right then and there because the guy is cute, goddamnit.
And at least half the workers are probably spying on them right now, so Sungmin just reins in the urge to kiss the living daylights out of the cute guy and settles back to watch the movie (as in sneak glances out of the corner of his eye when he thinks the other isn’t looking).
Kyuhyun, on the other hand, resolutely keeps his eyes glued to the screen because, hooooooo boy, the hot guy is sitting, you know, really really close- close enough that Kyuhyun can see what nice skin he has (Kyuhyun is insanely jealous). He doesn’t dare look the hot guy’s way lest he loses the little nerves he still retains and runs to take refuge in some supply closet.
Most unhappily, a horror film about evil carnivorous bunnies on a stranded island is not enough to hold anyone’s interest for long, even someone as determined as Kyuhyun, so the last thing on his mind before his eyelids shut completely is that if he had been on that island, he would be running the place in a week.
Needless to say, Sungmin is thrilled when a head lolls onto his shoulder in peaceful slumber (his shoulder is not thrilled because the guy’s head is rather bony, but he is thrilled in general). Can the cute guy get any more adorable?
Apparently, yes, because the medium-sized soft drink nearly slides out of the guy’s sleep-slackened grip, and Sungmin has to pretty much dive across to salvage it while simultaneously taking care not to overturn his own food and drink (which he accomplishes quite smoothly because, as you know, Sungmin is just awesome like that).
The guy somehow manages to lightly snore his way through the entire almost-mishap, and suddenly, a nap sounds like a very good idea (because who the hell cares about stranded bunnies? If he had been on that island, he would be running the place in a week), so Sungmin rests his cheek on the guy’s surprisingly soft broccoli-hair and drifts away into La La Land.
As the pictures on the silver screen keep changing, at least half the workers quietly sneak out of the theater with fuzzy feelings and cell phones full of blackmail photos (for future use, just in case).
This is the only date (if you consider a date to be silently watching a bad movie together before falling asleep while most unsubtly being spied upon by several people) that they go on before the summer is over and it’s time for Kyuhyun (and Sungmin, because they go to the same college though neither of them realize it) to resume his role as a full-time student.
The staff members hold a small farewell party at Shindong and Henry’s insistence (they really just wanted to have a party) to celebrate his glorious few months of service to the finest establishment in the city (a direct quote from Zhou Mi’s tearful and drunken toast). Kyuhyun is truthfully kinda moved by their appreciation, especially when they pile Styrofoam cartons of leftovers into his arms (as a poor college student, he most certainly isn’t going to turn down free food).
So it is with a warm heart, a full stomach, and arms wobbling due to the unwieldy boxes that Kyuhyun bids goodbye to his status as an employee and leaves the premises. And he is very surprised to find the hot guy suavely (Sungmin has been waiting for a good three hours while fending off attacks from many a vicious mosquito) lounging against a lamppost.
The Fates, naturally, want Kyuhyun to leave a good first impression outside the cinema, so they most helpfully make him trip over his own feet (it’s either that or people have finally invented invisible rope within the past millisecond). He regains his footing, but his stack of meals for the following week teeters dangerously.
Sungmin manages to snap out of his googly-eyed, looks-like-he-got-hit-on-the-head trance to catch the lone package that escapes the cute guy’s grasp. He looks down at the saran-wrapped plate, back up, and hands it back to the owner, trying not to suddenly act like some obsessed, lovestruck teenager (though he does have plans, maybe, for making a pillow with the guy’s face on it). “Canapé?” he offers with a shy smile.
Okay, so it’s not the most ingenious choice of words when speaking to your crush for the first time, but they both think it’s the most hilarious thing ever, so it’s fine. And besides, when you’re walking out on the street, out in the moonlight, with the person you like and with the unspoken promise of more dates and the possibility of falling in love to come, it’s as romantic as things can get for our two love-inexperienced protagonists, and they couldn’t have asked for anything more.
Sure, they nearly get run over a dozen times while crossing the street since they’re so busy grinning sappily at each other, but romance is romance, so there’s no need to sweat over small details like their near-death experiences, because it’s all good.
And if by all good you mean Sungmin escorting Kyuhyun all the way back to the latter’s apartment, staying for the night, and them getting a little something something on (which shall be left to your vivid and, no doubt, perverted imagination), then yes, it’s definitely all good.
