Travelling To Movie World

I looked at her and said " If you don't mind I can drop you off with my car" and gestured them towards my car parked on the side of the road.

Without waiting for Jung Da-Jung's reply, Choo Ae-Rin eagerly agreed, "Yeah, that's so nice of you." She turned to Jung Da-Jung, her eyes urging her friend to accept the offer. "Jung Da-Jung, let's go. It's late, and this is much faster than waiting for a taxi."

Jung Da-Jung hesitated for a moment, looking at me with a mix of gratitude and uncertainty. She knew that accepting a ride from a stranger was not something she would normally do, but the sincerity in my offer and the lateness of the hour made her reconsider. Seeing Choo Ae-Rin already eager to go, she decided not to refuse.

"Okay, thank you," Jung Da-Jung said softly, her voice tinged with relief and a hint of caution. She opened the passenger door and sat down in the front seat, her hands folded neatly in her lap. Choo Ae-Rin quickly slid into the back seat, her eyes bright with curiosity and excitement.

I started the car and turned to Jung Da-Jung with a reassuring smile. "Could you please guide me to your home? I want to make sure you get there safely."

Jung Da-Jung nodded, her expression softening as she began to give me directions. The tension in her shoulders eased slightly, and she seemed to relax a bit, trusting that this unexpected kindness would see her safely home.

Jung Da-Jung guided me towards Choo Ae-Rin's house first, her voice steady as she provided directions. "Choo Ae-Rin lives nearby, so let's drop her off first," she suggested, her tone considerate and thoughtful.

I nodded and drove towards Choo Ae-Rin's house, the car filling with a comfortable silence before Jung Da-Jung spoke up. "I don't think we've properly introduced ourselves. I'm Jung Da-Jung, and this is Choo Ae-Rin," she said, turning slightly in her seat to include her friend in the conversation.

I took the opportunity to introduce myself as well. "Hello, I'm Vlad. I'm a high school student. I just transferred to Serim High School today, so it was my first day."

Jung Da-Jung's eyes widened in surprise. "You're a high school student and you're driving?" she asked, her voice tinged with disbelief.

I chuckled softly, understanding her concern. "I'm already 18 and have a driving license, so it's perfectly legal for me to drive," I explained, hoping to reassure her.

Jung Da-Jung looked at me, her expression softening as she processed this new information. "I see. My son and daughter also study at Serim High School," she shared, a hint of pride in her voice.

Curious to learn more about her, I asked, "What are your children's names?"

Jung Da-Jung smiled softly, her eyes lighting up at the mention of her kids. "My son is Hong Shi-Woo, and my daughter is Hong Shi-Ah," she replied, her voice filled with maternal pride.

I acted surprised, my eyes widening in genuine disbelief. "That's such a coincidence! Hong Shi-Woo is actually the first friend I made here. We played basketball together today and had a great time. In fact, we're planning to go for the team trials tomorrow," I shared, my enthusiasm evident.

Jung Da-Jung looked at me, her expression a mix of surprise and joy. "Really?" she asked, her voice hopeful.

I nodded eagerly. "Yes, really! Today, Hong Shi-Woo and I played against some of the current team members, and we beat them easily. You should have seen him playing today—he was truly awesome. I'm sure he'll be selected for the team," I said, my voice filled with admiration for his skills.

Jung Da-Jung beamed with happiness, her eyes shining with unshed tears of pride. "I'm so glad to hear that," she said, her voice warm with gratitude. "Thank you for being such a good friend to him and for believing in him." She looked at me, her expression thoughtful as she began to develop a favorable impression of me.

Throughout the drive, Choo Ae-Rin listened intently to our conversation, occasionally interjecting with her own comments and observations. Before long, we reached her house, and she thanked me for the ride before stepping out of the car.

As we continued down the road, I spotted a convenience store and pulled over. Turning to Jung Da-Jung, I said, "Please wait here. I'll be right back."

She nodded, and I quickly entered the store. I scanned the shelves and grabbed a bottle of chocolate milk, remembering from the plot that Jung Da-Jung often used it as a hangover remedy.

Returning to the car, I handed the bottle to Jung Da-Jung and said, "Here, you should drink this tomorrow. It'll help with any hangover you might have."

Jung Da-Jung looked at the bottle in her hand and then back at me, her expression a mix of surprise and gratitude. "Thank you, Vlad," she said softly, her voice warm with genuine appreciation. "That's very thoughtful of you."

I pulled up to Jung Da-Jung's house and shifted the car into parking. She stepped out of the car, turning to face me as I also exited the vehicle.

"Vlad, you should go back home," she said, her voice gentle yet firm. "It's getting late, and your parents must be worried about you."

I looked at her and smiled warmly. "I will, but I want to make sure you get inside safely first. I wouldn't feel right leaving a lady on the road at this hour," I explained, my voice sincere.

Jung Da-Jung smiled back at me, her eyes reflecting a mix of amusement and appreciation. "Aunty is going in now," she said, using a playful tone to refer to herself. "You should hurry up and go as well."

I nodded and waved goodbye as she turned and walked towards her front door. Once she was safely inside, I got back into my car and drove off towards my villa, feeling a sense of satisfaction and contentment after a day well spent.
