"Are you leaving now?"
"huh."
I opened the door and closed it as gently as I could. Just in case, I called Yoonji home. Oh my, those annoying people. Thank you, Yoonji-chan~!

"How about a can of beer after a long time?"
"good."
After paying the bill, we walked to the riverside. Despite it being a weekday evening, there were a lot of people. We sat down and poured ourselves a beer.
"Let's go, let's go~"
The sound of the cans clinking made me chuckle. At such a young age, I wondered if I could still be like this. So what? How many people still envy my passionate love?
"Aren't you cold?"
"little..?"
"Then why are you dressed so thinly?"
"My brother will hug me anyway."
Yoon-ki chuckled and hugged Joo-yeon. The beer in his mouth tasted sweet. Joo-yeon interlocked her hands with Yoon-ki's. "How long will you be so pretty, you little thing?" Joo-yeon smiled and covered Yoon-ki's mouth with her own.
"Let's go home. My blood relatives are coming."
"huh."
We clasped hands as the cool breeze blew past us. The moonlight swaying in our eyes seemed to overflow. As we locked eyes, the sight of each other filled with each other's beauty was utterly beautiful. Even the signs of Byunhwa-ga in the background shone brightly.

"What's taking 30 minutes to get here?"
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't want to come in, so I came slowly."
"Sister, that's enough. Just kill Min Yoongi."
"You shouldn't do that to your brother."
"...You should know that you lived thanks to the lead actress."
"Thank you so much, I'll go now."
"Hold your temper for a second." Yoonji muttered, and the front door closed. Yeoju let out a laugh and went into the bathroom. "Have fun, really."
"good night."
"Yeah, you too, oppa."
They hugged each other beside the baby's bed and closed their eyes. Yoongi's hand stroking her hair slowed her breathing. Yoongi stared at her face, which had fallen asleep, and kissed her forehead. Yoongi, holding her motionless, tightened his grip and closed his eyes.
"Jiyoung, you should say hello to your dad."
"Abba, hello."
"Aren't you going to kiss me? I'm upset."
With hands as small as bracken, she breaks free from her mother's embrace, kisses Yoongi's cheek, and waves her hand, saying "bye."
"Dad, I'll be back."
The front door closes, and Jooyeon prepares Jiyoung for daycare. She dresses her, packs a small bag to fit her, and hands it to her. Then, she takes Jiyoon out, who's just woken up. She takes Jiyoung by the hand, toddling, and sends her to daycare. She then heads back home, and the day begins again.
