“Like Warm Winter Sunshine”
Chapter 3: Movie Time
The first Saturday of the New Year.
At the front of Hoshimi Cinema Square, Yota arrived 10 minutes earlier than their agreed meeting time.
The cinema was bustling with people, packed with fans eagerly queuing for the popular film.
As the winter chill grazed his cheeks, Yota glanced across the street from time to time.
A moment later, five minutes before their meeting time, Yuna appeared.
Wearing a light pink coat, a white scarf, and beige boots, her outfit gave a soft, feminine impression, so different from her usual uniform.
Her hair, slightly tousled by the breeze, added a touch of charm.
“Sorry to keep you waiting,” she said, slightly out of breath.
“I just got here myself,” Yota replied with a smile.
As they waited for the theater to open, they talked about the original novel, their breath forming white clouds in the cold air.
Despite the bustling surroundings, the atmosphere between them felt calm and cozy.
“Are you cold?” Yota asked gently.
Yuna shook her head with a smile. “Not at all. I’m too absorbed in our conversation.”
Inside the theater, the warmth seemed to relax them both.
As the film unfolded on the screen, they occasionally exchanged glances, silently sharing their thoughts on the unique interpretations and new cinematic touches.
Midway through the movie, during a particularly moving scene, Yuna gasped softly.
Seeing her reaction, Yota felt his heart warm.
He appreciated the joy of sharing a story with someone who understood its depth.
In the dark, their arms on the shared armrest brushed lightly.
Though accidental, the fleeting contact left a gentle resonance in both their hearts.
