The Black Swan Behind (Beauty of Fire)

324 Car Cinema

“Gimbab? Oh... I haven’t eaten Gimbab in a long time,” Calvin said with sparkling eyes.

“Actually, this is my first time prepping this, so... I don’t know whether this is good or not,” Emma said doubtfully.

Calvin peeked at the lunch box that Emma showed him. The black box contained pieces of three sticks of seaweed rice rolls filled with various vegetables and meat. “Can I have some?”

Emma nodded. “Of course. I made it especially for you. I heard that this is the easiest Korean food to make. It’s not difficult to make either,”

“I haven’t eaten Gimbab in years. Thank you so much, Emma. I really appreciate this,” Calvin said, looking at Emma warmly.

“I hope you’ll like it. I don’t know how Gimbab should taste. Therefore, you have to be honest with your opinion,” Emma said.

Then Calvin put a piece straight into his mouth. In fact, Emma didn’t know that Calvin’s mouth could open that wide. She laughed a little to find his face so funny.

After waiting for Calvin to have chewed and swallowed his food, Emma spoke again, “How is it, sir? What do you think?”

“Definitely delicious. Well, although the seasoning isn’t quite like Gimbab as it should be, it is tasty,” Calvin replied. Then, he raised his hand and rubbed the side of Emma’s face. “You worked hard for me. Thank you very much,”

.....

Emma smiled gently, then shoved a piece of Gimbab into her mouth. She couldn’t put one in straight like Calvin, so she had to take a bite in half first.

“I’m going to get drinks and some snacks. I won’t take long,” Calvin said before getting out of the car.

Emma’s heart felt warm. Yes, this was how she should feel if it was the right man for her. It had to be a man who would treat her right and be honest with her. Now, they didn’t need to hide anything from each other.

This time, Calvin kept his word. He did not take long outside and returned with potato chips and popcorn. He deliberately didn’t buy soda or coffee because it was already late, so he only bought Emma Lemon Tea.

“Oh, it starts,” Emma said while looking at the big screen in front.

‘Under The Blanket’

Emma read the title of the movie on the screen before the writing slowly disappeared and the movie started.

“What genre of the movie, Calvin?” She asked.

“I think it’s romance. It was an action movie before this one, but, we didn’t have enough time to make it on time. Do you dislike romance movies?” Calvin asked.

“I’ve watched romance movies. It depends on how good they are. If the storyline is good, then I’ll like it,” Emma answered lightly.

Calvin chuckled. “To be honest, I’ve never watched a romance movie in my life. So, this is my first time,”

“Is it?” Emma chuckled. “Hopefully this is good enough to make a good first impression on you,”

Then, they began to calm down with the movie playing. The two of them focused on watching while chewing food. Only when the movie ran for almost close to thirty minutes did Emma and Calvin realize that something was wrong.

“Um... Calvin. Actually, what movie is this?” Emma asked with a frown. It seemed that she could not see the big screen in front of them.

Calvin’s body tensed and he moved uncomfortably. Now, he realized just how stupid his damned brain was. A romance movie with the title ‘Behind the Blanket’ – What else did he think the meaning of the movie’s title was?

“I-I didn’t think it would be this kind of movie. I swear, I didn’t choose this movie on purpose.” Calvin said.

Emma still looked away from the hot scene that was playing on the screen. Could this be called an ordinary movie when it kept showing bed scenes in the first five minutes until now? Yes, this movie did have a storyline. However, they seemed unable to focus on the story because there were too many hot scenes. This was not a romance movie with hot scenes added, but a porn movie with a romance story.

Emma didn’t understand why a movie like this could be shown in a car cinema. Maybe because it was the last movie and it was playing in the middle of the night. If she noticed, there weren’t too many cars parked here. And, on average, the cars had dark widows and some of them were shaking. Gosh... this was madness.

“Emma, I’m sorry to make you uncomfortable. I’m going to get us out of here,” Calvin said.

Then, Emma nodded because she did feel awkward and uncomfortable with the movie.

“I swear I didn’t know a movie like that would be showing. I bought the tickets in a hurry so didn’t look into it seriously,” Calvin explained while driving.

“I know, Calvin. There’s no way you did it on purpose. But, don’t you think it’s hilarious?” Emma said with laughs.

Calvin’s face, which originally looked panicked, slowly began to relax. The two of them then laughed together until their stomachs hurt and their eyes watered. That was something they never thought could happen.

“Gosh... my stomach hurts,” Emma said wiping the corners of her eyes.

“I’ll be more careful when buying tickets next time. That damn movie messed up my plans,” Calvin said, still laughing.

“What else do you have planned?” Emma asked.

“Well... It should be just watching a movie because the movie will last for two and a half hours. But, we can have time together at least,” Calvin shrugged.

Falling silent, Emma felt sorry for Calvin, who had prepared many things but was messed up because of a hot movie. Then, she glanced at the time on the car dashboard. They still had over an hour before it was time to go home.

“What if we go somewhere else?” Emma asked.

“Huh?” Calvin stared at her.

Emma nodded. “Don’t we still have an hour? I think it would be a shame if we just went straight home,” she smiled.

“You’re right. Then, do you have a place you want to go to?”

Emma thought for a moment then shook her head, “It seems impossible at this time – Everything must be closed. How about you?”

Calvin shook his head. “Same thought,”

“Well, do you have a place that has lots of memories? Or any place that comes to your mind right now?” Emma asked.

“Well, if there is anything, it’s just a stupid place,” Calvin answered while thinking.

“A stupid place?” Emma repeated with a chuckle. “What kind of stupid place?”
