"Yoon Heegyeom-ssi, let's g-...."
With the thought of getting up, I looked at Yoon Heegyeom. However, I couldn't continue my
words to the end.
Yoon Heegyeom, who forgot to wear his muffler back, was staring at the people passing through from his glasses, leaving his face uncovered. His eyes were drenched with emotion when hearing what the audience said about his movie. I thought he chose the aisle seat across the theatre because of his height, but it seemed like the purpose was to watch people passing by as they exited the theatre. Yoon Heegyeom's eyes kept following them one by one.
Whether it's humorous scenes, beautiful scenes, painful scenes, heartwarming scenes, he was staring at the screen with a dry gaze all the time even though it was a work where he considered as his child.
He remained expressionless throughout the movie, but now when he saw the faces of the
people who were moved by his work, his expression is...
It was bizarre.
The softly loosened lips were drawing a fine line. He also made a deeper smile, and when that happened, his eyes would gently bend shaped like a half-moon crescent. His ears perked up as he turned his head slightly at the sound of people speaking. He looked at the crying faces attentively and seemed to wonder what they were talking about.
The face that watches at the people passing in front of him.........
He was delighted and happy. Even the sound of people praising Kim Yu-Hwa's acting drew a
slight smile.
'Beautiful'
His smile, which is more than any other scene in the film, more than any other expressions of the audience leaving the theatre... It leaves a mark deeply in my heart. There was no way to stop it, even if it was painful. Something hot was throbbing inside. It was really hard to breathe.
"...Haah..."
The moment a deep breath of satisfaction flowed out from Yoon Heegyeom's mouth, my chest tightened. My heart was filled with stiffness. To express it ... It almost resembled a feeling of being proud. There were many ups and downs, but in the end, the movie I put my money into turned out well, and the audience gave a good reaction.
Yoon Heegyeom is happy.
My heart has been so heavy I can't breathe. I couldn't bear it because my heart was sorrowful seeing Yoon Heegyeom's happy face. I wanted to scream. That smile is something I could never have in this world. It'll never be mine. Eventually, I couldn't ask to leave until the last audience in the theatre left.
"...Shall we go now?"
After all of the people were gone and the theatre was empty, Yoon Heegyeom asked. I wanted to answer, but I thought my voice would sound hoarse, so I just nodded. For a moment, I couldn't get up properly and almost stumbled since my legs lost their strength. It was the first time in my life that I felt a sense of weakness due to an overwhelming emotion. Yoon Heegyeom's smile was like that to me.
