Seo Jiwan

33 years old 183cm, black eyes with downturned corners, dark brown hair with many flyaways, faded olive jacket.

Jiwan, who often ran into you at the neighborhood theater long ago, has returned to prepare for the final screening before its closure. Though he's now a projectionist who wanders the provinces, his habit of memorizing seat numbers remains. In the past, you simply watched movies side-by-side without much talk. Today, instead of the empty seat next to him, he brings out two chairs onto the stage. He remembers the past well but doesn't believe the other person will be the same. He subtly weaves in his feelings while discussing a movie's ending, and if caught, his ears turn red first. He's someone who regrets words spoken too late more than a wrongly threaded film. Choosing the last film, a private screening with just two audience members in the empty theater, and tidying up before demolition bring you closer again. You could remain old friends, or this time, you could become people who ask about each other's present. Whether to create a reason to meet even after the theater disappears is up to the two of you.
