"It's really pretty."
Inside Sua's room in the early hours.
Min-gyu, who woke up first, is staring intently at Su-ah, who is sleeping soundly while lying on her side.
Talk_
I carefully touch the bridge of his high nose, feeling curious.
" Hehehe..."
He showed his fangs and smiled quietly, then lay down looking at her, supporting his head with his arms.
"This time..."
"Huh?"
"Don't go this time..."
" ···. "
Suah suddenly started saying something incomprehensible and then reached out and wrapped her arm around Min-gyu's waist, causing Min-gyu to freeze.
Even when he buried his head in her arms, there was no movement and only Su-ah's heavy breathing could be heard in the room.
"Well, how about we talk about this..?"
" huh.. "
He seemed to be saying something while mumbling his lips, but he buried his head in Min-gyu's chest and shook his head as if telling him to be quiet as he tried to have a conversation that was impossible to whisper.
" ···. "
After being frozen for a while, he pulled out his arm that had been lying there and fanned his face with his hand.
Su-ah lay back down with her chin on her hand and maintained that position for a while, as if she was not tired of it, before turning over.
"Hmm···"
" ···. "
" ...surprise."
" did you sleep well? "
"What are you doing here...?"
I was startled by the cracking sound of my voice. I'd never woken up with my voice this cracked before.
"I just woke up and was looking at you."
" ah···. "
"Oh, just sleep some more."
"Is that okay?"
My body felt particularly heavy today. I tossed and turned my limbs, unable to move properly, and then lifted my head slightly. I sensed a slight movement outside.
"···Is there anyone out there?"
"Hye-yeon might be awake. Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
"Thank you... Cough!"
Min-gyu patted Soo-ah's back as if he was surprised when she stopped talking and started coughing.
" are you okay? "
" (Cough-) It's okay. I just don't feel well today..."
"You didn't catch a cold...? I went to the hospital."
"No, I don't feel like I have a cold. I just feel a little under the weather, but I'll feel better soon."
Although it was her first time experiencing something like this, Su-ah calmed Min-gyu down, who seemed a little surprised, and smiled slightly.
"Just sleep a little longer. I'll be back in a bit-"
" all right, "
Min-gyu and Su-ah left the room and carefully closed the door, falling into a deep sleep again.
"Suah, look here-"
"V lol"
"Oh my, so pretty."
"Why are you raising me lol"
"It's cute lol. Should we go over there?"
The dreamMirror of the UnconsciousThat's what they said.
"Does this really suit you?"
"Ta-da! This is it, oppa."
"It's just like me, looking so innocent and affectionate."
"What does that have to do with flowers? Did you just do something to hurt your brother?"
"Yeah-haha"
"Brother."
In the brightly lit night view of the amusement park.
"This time, "
This person was right in front of my eyes.
"Never go there."
" ··· ···. "
"Answer me..."
"I have to go. I'm sorry."
" please···, "
Seungcheol oppa,
"Please don't go..."
"I'm sorry, Suah."
" ···. "
"There's someone much better than me next to you, so how can I go there?"
"···Are you going because of him?"
" no. "
" ···. "
"Even if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to go. I'm not fit enough to go. So don't blame him and just forget about me."
"If you tell me not to blame him, I..."
"You will be happy without me."
"Brother, please."
" sorry···. "
His figure kept disintegrating. Pieces of him scattered and drifted away.
Even though I knew it was a dream, even though I'd told him not to leave earlier and he'd disappeared. Wanting to confirm Seungcheol's appearance was real, I forgot about it and kept telling him not to leave. And even though I told him not to, Seungcheol kept disappearing. The more I pleaded with him not to leave, the more he vanished into fragments.

"Min-gyu, are you awake?"
"Did you cook, sister? I was going to."
"No, no, come and eat. When did you sleep last night?"
"Around twelve o'clock...?"
"You slept early. Come here-"
"Did you have a good time at your parents' house?"
"Have a nice trip. Are you feeling well?"
" are you okay. "
Min-gyu, seemingly unfazed by Hye-yeon's careful touch, gently pushed her hand away.
" ···. "
Hye-yeon stared at him, clearly sensing something strange.
"···Is it okay?"
"It's okay...but, sister."
" huh? "
"How much time is left on our contract?"
"It's been about three days... There's not much time left. But why?"
"Well, now... I think we don't have to do this anymore."
" ···what? "
" ···. "
"What is that···,"
"Thank you so much for accommodating my strange and selfish personality, and I'm sorry for not treating you well in the past, Unnie. You can stop now."
"No, you did a good job."
" sorry. "
"···Is it because of Suah?"
" ···. "
"You hate me?"
" ···me, "
I like Seo Su-ah.
"So just···,"
"Min-gyu."
" huh? "
"...Can't I stay a little longer until I find a place to live?"
"At my hometown..."
"I don't think my family will be very happy about it. I also need to find a job."
" ah··· "
" ···okay. "
"Oh, thank you."
As I was briefly following Hye-yeon's back as she ran up to her room, Su-ah opened the door and came out.
"Are you okay? Are you in pain?"
"Yes, I'm fine. Were you eating?"
"Yeah. Should we eat this together?"
" thank you···. "
She sat down in front of Min-gyu, looking tired and listless.
"Are you okay? You look a little... tired."
"It's okay, I guess I'm just not fully adjusted to the time difference. What kind of jet lag is this?"
"Jet lag..? Hahahahahahaha"
"No, that's not it lol"
The two burst into laughter at the random story that came out by mistake.
" ···. "

I think it'll take a few dozen minutes just to make it bold..? (My phone lags a lot 🤧) I skipped making the female lead's lines bold today, but is it difficult to see..?!
