Wheein didn't say anything and just glanced at Byul. Byul felt uneasy for no reason seeing Wheein like that. Did I do something wrong? Was the perfume too strong, what is it... Byul couldn't say anything to Wheein and just dawdled. Only the cat next to Wheein was meowing. What, what, did I really do something wrong? Wheein's cold expression gradually changed into a gentle one.
"Sister, have you ever been this shy?"
"huh..?"
"You're cute, unnie."
"I didn't do anything wrong, did I?"
"I didn't do anything wrong, did I?"
"What am I doing wrong?"
"Sorry.."
"Please change the way you say sorry. If someone saw me, they'd think I was a bad person."
"sorry.."
"I told you not to say sorry?"
Wheein sighed, frustrated. "Oh my, have I lived a life full of sins?" Wheein muttered softly and rose from her seat. "Today, for some reason, I feel awkward. If it were the old days, I would have hugged him and made a scene..."
"Am I... uncomfortable?"
"no?"
"But why.."
"Oh, just."
Wheein just felt distant. Where did things go wrong? I have to figure out that Wheein has simply closed her heart to me. I want to get closer, but I'm afraid she'll back off, so I can't. What if I keep this up and my feelings for her completely cool down?
"Sister. Why are you so quiet?"
"Uh..huh? Just.."
"You don't like me..? If you don't like me, you can just go."
"that is.."
"It's okay. I'll go to Yongseon-eon."
"You said you were going to die."
"..yes?"
"I told you, you'd die without me."
"that..."
Wheein seemed flustered and couldn't continue speaking, making things even more awkward. The silence seemed even heavier.
"It was just... I didn't want to send my sister away."
"I think I'll be okay now."
"What does that mean?"
"I'll let you go, sis."
"Wheein... suddenly..."
"When my sister first left, I really didn't want to live."
"however.."
“I think I don’t need my older sister anymore.”
"Whew... Ina. Why are you like that.."
"Sister, I'm having a hard time."
"..Wheein,"
"I told you to just leave..."
Wheein was cold to Byul. Was she taking revenge for me abandoning her? I was flustered by Wheein's coldness. What should I do? Now I finally understand Wheein's feelings. How much pain and loneliness must Wheein have felt? Byul opened and closed her eyes, feeling like tears were welling up. Wheein looked at Byul without changing her expression.
“Why, I am the only one who has to suffer.”
"My sister is doing well even without someone like me."
"Wheein.."
"Byeol-i-sister... I was in so much pain because of you."
"I can be abandoned, right?"
"That's... Wheein..."
"I didn't even ask you to come... Why did you come on your own and shake my heart?"
"Wheein.."
"Sister... Please, just go away..."
"I said it was good earlier, Wheein..."
"Sister, don't get me wrong."
"what..."
