"..something feels off"
Yeo-ju sensed something strange and called Yoon-ki to find some peace. The phone didn't connect for long before she picked up.
"๐_ Oppa"
"๐_ Huh?"
"๐_ I'm bored"
"๐_ Heh.. So that's why you called?"
"๐_ Yeah!"
"๐_ I'll get off work at 6, I miss you, honey."
"๐_ Yeah, me too"
"๐_ I'll call you when I get home"
"๐_ I love you"
After laughing and hanging up the phone, I wrapped myself in the blanket and laughed heartily in bed. It's been 7? 8 years since we last met, but why am I still excited? Haha. I miss you, oppa.

(phone ringing)
"Oh my god, what the... (waking up)"
"Oh, it's you, oppa.."
When I answered the phone, I heard my brother's voice and laughed. He asked me what I was doing to ignore three calls. I told him I'd just woken up, and he nagged me, saying he was worried. I asked where I was, and I heard the sound of someone unlocking the house.
"Oppaaaa"
"You like it that much?"
"huh!"
He pretended not to care, but his actions were anything but. He hugged me, stroked my head, gave me a kiss, then put down his jacket and made dinner. I gave my brother a hug from behind and watched.
"Honey, sit down."
"okay"
When I was told to bring a spoon, I grabbed one, placed it on the table, and checked my phone for a moment. My brother prepared kimchi stew and a few side dishes and sat down. I turned off my phone, placed it face down, and ate.
"I'm glad you're free of morning sickness."
"Um... I guess so (mumble)"
"Isn't your mother sick?"
"Yeah, Mom's relieved too."
"You're 25 years old and still eating like that?"
I eat rice cakes stuck to my lips. At first, I wondered why I was eating that, but now I'm like, "I even had an accident."
"I don't know, I'm sleepy again"
"Let's stay a little longer and sleep.. okay?"
".. okay"
I lay down next to my brother and chatted. We made plans to watch a movie the next evening, and after a few kisses, I fell asleep in his arms.

-Behind the Scenes-
What Jooyeon saw at the table.
".. phew"
The behind-the-scenes story is that Jooyeon laughed and cracked a smile, thinking about how Yoongi oppa must have texted her anxiously, not knowing she was sleeping.
