Chapter 187 – Soft and Soft

Afternoon the next day.
In the name of world surveillance, I was immersed in device production in the lab, and I was fed up with Adele’s talk.

[I’m bored… (๑-﹏-๑)]

Is Sylvia not at home?
Do you play any games you like?
After 10 minutes of chewing her talk, the phone rang again.

[Why are you ignoring me? (๑❛ᴗ❛๑) For your reference, whether Jihyeok read my talk or not, everything comes out. When the asterisk disappears, it means you’ve read it! I’ll tell you in case you don’t know!]

I know that. I just ignored you
Why does that bright emoji look angry?
I replied by tapping the keypad.

[Sorry. Busy…]

[Were you making a device? I don’t even have Sylvia, can she go to the lab?]

[There will be nothing to do when I come.]

[Still, it’s better than being alone. I will never disturb you and just watch.]

[Then come.]

[٩( ᐛ )و]

I finished the text message and started working again, and when it was time for Adele to come, I took out the sandwich I brought from the doctor’s house yesterday.
After some time,

Pushik-!

The door to the lab opened, revealing Adele with a smile on her face.
Today’s fashion… It’s a white flare dress with long sleeves.
Her hem is so that her knees are slightly visible. Sandals with ribbons also go well with them.
Although the baggy black backpack is a bit of a jade.

“Mr. Jihyeok! Hello!”

A bright greeting from Adele, who changed into slippers.
I got up from my seat and pointed to the break room with a fatherly smile.

“Eat a sandwich. I put it on the table in the break room.”

“I ate!”

“Then eat when you’re hungry.”

“I know. Oh, think I don’t have it and go to work. You know?”

“Yes. I will.”

Adele went straight into the break room, sat down in her chair, and put her hand on her sandwich.
As she mumbled her mouth afterwards, she began to watch TV in a relaxed position.
He said he ate… It’s ridiculous. Well, that’s Adele.
Shrugging his shoulders, I sat down on the production table and picked up the welder.

In the middle of making the device, Adele looked at something. She ate snacks in the break room, opened the refrigerator door, took out a drink, etc.
Very natural behavior. A hearty smile emerges.

She soon fell asleep, perhaps from hunger.
She looks so cute lying straight on the sofa and wheezing while sleeping. I want to hug you tight
I went into the common room very quietly and put a thin blanket over Adele’s body.
After that, I was about to go out again,

“Mr. Jihyeok.”

I hesitated when Adele called me in a quiet voice.

“Sorry. I woke you up.”

“I didn’t even fall asleep in the first place. I just closed my eyes.”

Is that…? Everyone looked like they were sleeping.

“Okay.”

Adele pulled her blanket up to her chin as she giggled.
Adele’s mouth turned into a half-moon shape as she checked the feel of her blanket.

“It is so soft. Can I take this?”

“Please. By the way, where has Sylvia gone?”

“My sister only exercises every day. He said he would register for a martial arts dojo today.”

“It’s her. Adele has nothing she wants to do?”

“I want to watch a movie at the cinema, and I want to go on a picnic. She wants to see the Earth’s oceans too. But she is lonely by herself.”

“If I tell Sylvia, will she come with me?”

“My sister is enjoying life on Earth. She doesn’t like to be disturbed.”

So do I want to interrupt? Such an outrageous and angular thing.
So better…

“I guess you spend a lot of time alone at home?”

“It is today.”

“Then would you like to watch a movie with me today?”

Adele lifted her upper body.
Happy expression. However, he soon became sullen, probably thinking that I was caring for him.

“No. You said you were making devices all day today. I won’t disturb you.”

“I didn’t say that we were producing without breaks. I watch a movie with the fastest time at a nearby movie theater and come back.”

“What about world surveillance?”

“It is linked to both my phone and the doctor’s phone. If anything happens, you’ll be notified right away. What would you like to do?”

I can see Adele’s ears fluttering.
Sounds like you’re humming. Please accept it immediately.
I’m going crazy wanting to watch a movie with you too.

“Bo, I want to see…!”

Adele quickly got up from the sofa and put on the slippers she had taken off.
I said with a grin as I looked at her face that looked like she was about to jump.

“I wore the opposite of indoor shoes.”

“It’s okay! I’m leaving anyway!”

“I guess so. Let’s go.”

“Yes!”

**

“Wow… Really delicious…!”

Adele mumbles as she stuffs buttered squid into her mouth.
She glanced at me as I was checking her ticket and held out one of her squid.

“Eat Jihyeok too. It is very delicious.”

I naturally opened my mouth slightly.
Then Adele put her squid in her mouth and touched her uvula.

“Cheuk! Coke!”

I coughed in an instant, and my face quickly turned red.
Adele apologized to me, not knowing what to do.

“I’m sorry…! It’s okay?”

After clearing my throat a few times, I shook my head.

“Yes. It’s okay.”

“What should I do… Are you sick?”

“It was just a cough. It’s also my mistake, so don’t worry about it. It’s time, so let’s go.”

“Yes…”

Even in her theater, Adele’s ugliness continued.
Screaming in shock at a loud commercial, kicking the seat in front of her while crossing her legs out of habit, or almost spilling her phone and Coke while trying to put it in the cup holder on her armrest…
I showed a lot of behavior like a blind bath, and it was all up to me to deal with it.
After a few mistakes, Adele learned the etiquette of the movie theater, and as the movie started playing as her surroundings turned dark, she whispered to me.

“I’m sorry… Because of me…”

A strange sensation arises in the ear.
One warm breath I’m going to go to the middle of the day.
I consoled her by bringing her mouth to her ear of Adele.

“This is how you learn. It’s okay.”

Adele raised her shoulders as if her ears were itching.
Then she tapped me on the chin.
Adele, who unintentionally used violence against her, bows her head in confusion.

“Sorry, sorry…”

Puck!

Then he even hit me in the nose… So damn, so damn.
By the way her hair is solid once. The nose is stuffy

“Ahhh… What can I do… I’m sorry…”

Adele’s face turned almost into tears.
I endured the tingling pain I felt on the bridge of her nose and smiled silently.

“It’s okay. Since the movie starts, shall we concentrate?”

“Yes…”

Kugoong-!

Distributor’s BGM that sounds good at the right time.
As Adele tries to bring her popcorn back into her arms, she raises her arm in surprise.

“Heo mom…!”

Popcorn scattered in the air.
I grabbed a few things that were falling in the air and naturally took them to my mouth and stood up.
Then, he apologized one by one to the audience who received the popcorn.
Then Adele jumped up from her and began to bow her head.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”

How many times do I have to say I’m sorry… Today was an unlucky day for Adele.

**

Adele follows me, almost dragging his shoes.
She didn’t say anything until she went to the parking lot in complete dismay.
It seems that the nuisance in the theater was very disturbing.
If you can’t concentrate on the movie you want to see, you’re done talking.
So nice So I want to make it evil.

I giggled as Adele said this as I sat in her car and took her hand by the belt.

“Did I tremble too much…?”

It’s a big deal… The word choice is too old.
I silently shook her head, and she said her words.

“I feel really stupid. I was surprised at an insignificant part… I only caused harm to the people around me.”

She blames herself.
It’s not bad to look like this. It’s cute.

“It is a mistake that everyone makes in life. I have many times like that.”

“Do not lie.”

“Do you think so?”

“Yes. Jihyeok is not the kind of person who would make the same mistake as me. You are always calm.”

“I am a human being too, so I am often surprised. More so when watching horror movies. It’s like pouring popcorn all over the lap of the audience sitting next to you. Thanks to him, he gets free popcorn.”

A silly joke. Adele let out a weak laugh.
Deciding she had calmed down on her, I drove her car outside.
Adele stayed still, probably thinking I was going to the lab, then looked around as the car entered a certain place.

“Where are you…?”

“It’s a drive-in theater.”

“Yes…? A drive-in theater?”

“It’s a place where you can watch a movie in the car. A lot of forts are gone, but there’s still one in each orb. It’s the time when it’s getting dark, so there’s no problem.”

Adele didn’t say anything.
She just chose an interesting movie among the ones that fit the time and looked at it with a bewildered expression on the day of ticketing.
I bought various foods at the store, went to an empty lot with parking lines, parked in a good spot, and turned off the lights.
Adjusting the radio to the frequency listed on the table, I passed the popcorn to Adele and lowered the seat back a bit.

“I’m glad you came at the right time. It’s starting soon. It’s nice that there aren’t too many people.”

Adele, who had been dazed until then, shook her head and came to her senses.

“Why are you here…? You’ve seen all the movies…”

“You weren’t able to concentrate properly because you were sorry for the audience around you.”

“Ha, but…”

As Adele tries to say something of her,

Doo-!

Loud sounds came from the speakers installed throughout the car.

“Kyaaak!”

Adele, who was about to say something, was startled and spilled popcorn like in a movie theater.
Desperate Adele tells me in a weeping tone.

“What can I do… I spilled it again… The car is dirty…”

That’s kind of a silly thing to say.
I smirked at her and soothed her.

“It’s okay. It’s enough to clean it up.”

“I’m sorry… Really…”

Adele shook her head as if she had no face with her.
After examining her complexion, I turned the volume down on the radio.

“Adele.”

“Yes…?”

“Remember the advice I gave you last time in the lab hallway? Talk about character.”

“I-I remember…”

“When Adele made her mistakes today, did anyone glare at her or say something? Didn’t you?”

Adele pondered and shook her head.

“I guess so… But there were a few people who laughed at me…”

“I didn’t laugh at that, I laughed because I liked seeing Adele’s pure and kind side of her. So do other people. So she passed for good.”

“…Really?”

“Yes. I also know very well that Adele has no ill will, so I don’t even nod like this. She deserves an apology for her mistakes, but don’t be intimidated by that.”

“…..”

Adele looked at me dumbfounded.
He seems to have been quite moved by my words.
I said this one last time and turned the volume up on the radio again.

“You are a much greater person than you think. There are few people in the world who can inspire good energy to those around them. Be proud of yourself. Like Adele when she usually serves Rosario.”

I turned my eyes to the screen, and immediately heard the sound of eating popcorn, the crackling of a snack bag, and the sound of a soda can being opened.
I tried to smile at Adele’s cute behavior, but I couldn’t.
Because she noticed that she was staring at me as she ate her treats.

Let’s pretend we’re focused on the movie.
I thought, and bit her lower lip as Adele placed five of her popcorns in her palm and brought them to her mouth.
I’m about to burst into laughter… Let’s be patient… We have to be patient.
I barely made up my mind and spoke softly.

“I’m fine.”

“Is it tasty. Please eat.”

“Are you okay?”

“I will stay like this until you eat. If you don’t want me to watch the movie, you can stay.”

Threats are cute too…
I let out the laughter I had been holding back with just one laugh, and hesitantly opened my mouth.
Then Adele lifted the corners of her mouth, revealing her white, even teeth, and put the popcorn in her mouth.

“How about it? Is it delicious?”

I chewed on the popcorn and nodded.

“It is delicious.”

“It’s caramel popcorn.”

I know. That I bought

“Okay.”

“I’m sure you’re thirsty, so I’ll give you a coke. Wait…”

“Adele, the movie has already started… I’ll take care of it if I’m thirsty, so watch the screen before you miss the movie.”

Refreshingly ignoring my words, Adele whimpered and opened a Coke before handing it out.
After confirming that I received and drank cola, she started watching the movie with her smile on her face.
It seems that the energy has returned. Thank god.
