Chapter 156: CHAPTER 156 – The Movie.
Alice and Alex were watching the movie as they sat side by side. Alex didn't do anything to Alice as she seemed too into the movie, he just kept looking at her with a smile.
As said before, Alex didn't like movies as he found the acting done by the cast boring or unnatural.
It didn't attract him much, and even if it did, he would still do the same thing he was doing.
But then he saw Alice's eyes start tearing up before she spoke.
"I need to go to the washroom," Alice didn't even look at Alex as she rushed out of the hall.
Alex looked toward the screen for a second before he followed Alice.
He wasn't looking at the movie but that didn't mean he wasn't listening to it.
The movie was about a guy and a girl who met each other because of a misunderstanding.
The girl thought that the guy was someone she used to know, and she started cursing him.
But then the guy cleared the misunderstanding making the girl realize her mistake. The girl apologized to the guy continuously, but the guy just waved his hand and said, "It's fine".
The girl, however, was feeling guilty as she had cursed a good guy without a reason, so she wanted to do something.
Listening to the girl, the guy had an idea and spoke, "How about we go on a date?"
The story started with some spice and continued with light romance as the guy and the girl got together.
Everything was going fine until the girl was diagnosed to have some kind of congenital heart disease.
This broke the guy as he, who used to be a cheerful person would now cry alone as he thought about his beloved.
Later in the story, when the girl didn't have much time, and she had yet to find a heart, the guy somehow turned out to be the right match.

The guy contacted the girl's family members, chatted with them about it, and then decided to make a video for a last goodbye to the girl.
The guy smiled with tears on his face as he gave out his last goodbyes to the girl. He told her what to do and what not to do, and he told her about the many things he wanted to do with her but he won't be able to.
Then a doctor's voice was heard, "Sir, the time is running out."
The guy smiled one last time at the camera before he stopped the video.
It was the scene where Alice left the hall, and Alex followed.
Alex caught up to Alice quickly as he held her wrist.
"It is just a movie, what are you crying for?" Alex asked Alice as she struggled to free her wrist.
"I'm not crying?!" Alice exclaimed without looking back at Alex, trying to hide her tears.
'Why did I have to imagine myself and Alex in their place….?'
Alice regrated imagining herself in the girl's place and Alex in the boy's place.
Alice couldn't bear imagining herself in that situation.
If that was not enough, the start of her and Alex's relationship was something matching the ones in the movie as well, making Alice focus on the movie more.
Alice didn't even need to watch the girl's response when she watched the video, just imagining it was painful for her, and that too when she was a bit too much into the movie.
"Come here," Alex pulled Alice into a hug and pressed her head on his chest.
"That was just a movie, all right?" He voiced as he patted Alice's head, ignoring her trying to break free from the hug.
"Let me go!" Alice shouted and Alex stopped patting her.
"Ok," Alex spoke as he let go of Alice, who stood there dumbfoundedly.
'Why….' Alice couldn't even think of a question in her mind.
She just kept looking at Alex with her teary eyes, but even her tears had paused as she was that dumbfounded.
"What? You were the one who wanted me to let go," Alex shrugged as he saw Alice looking at him dumbfoundedly.
Alex then turned around and was about to leave, but….
"…sorry," Alice held Alex's shirt from behind as she murmured in a low voice.
Alex didn't turn around.
He wanted her to know what would happen if she showed him that kind of attitude.
Alex didn't like being ordered or shouted at, and Alice did both which made him frown.
He will be there for her when she needs him, but that doesn't mean he will just take whatever she throws at him.
"Sorry for what?" Alex asked without turning back.
"Sorry for shouting at you…." Alice spoke as she moved a step closer to Alex.
Alice now realized what she had done, and she was sorry about it.
She just couldn't get the movie out of her head.
"I'm really sorry," Alice spoke again as she saw Alex standing there without saying anything.
She moved closer again almost hugging him from behind.
Alex wanted to be harsher but he couldn't.
"Sigh…." Alex sighed before he turned back and looked into Alice's eyes which had started to tear up again.
"Just don't do it again," Alex spoke as he wiped the drop of tear that was about to fall off from Alice's eyes.
"Un," Alice nodded her head before she moved forward and hugged Alex.
Alex hugged her back as he patted her head.
"Again, it was just a movie, just forget about it, and if you were imagining me and yourself in their places, then know this: I'm not going to sacrifice myself for a crybaby."
Alex stated but his tone turned teasing in the end as he had a smile on his face.
"Hmph!" Alice just snorted as she hit Alex's chest lightly.
"Ouch," Alex faked a pained voice, but Alice was not buying it.
"I won't even cry if you did."
Alice spoke as she looked at Alex while sticking out her tongue.
"Good," Alex spoke as he pressed Alice's head back on his chest with a smile on his face.
Alice who had her head resting on Alex's chest also smiled.
'Why was I even thinking about those things….'
Alice just realized how silly her thoughts were.
'He is the strongest one out there, what do I even need to worry about?'
Alice smiled as she hugged Alex tighter.
She didn't think too much about the movie anymore as the date had just started and they still had things to enjoy their time.
'I just hope her reactions to my confession stay within what I had thought them to be….'
Alex however was thinking about something else as he had decided to tell Alice some things about himself that might affect their relationship.
