The moments I was loved by Jinyoung were happy.

I wanted to stop and be immersed in those moments.

By the time the injury has healed enough to walk slowly

I decided to go see my younger sibling.

I was half surprised and half sad to hear the news from Jinyoung, but at the mention of Woojin being by his side...

I felt a little relieved.

Perhaps he, too, was leaning on Woojin a little.

It felt like it relieved my worries.

The female protagonist changes into the clothes Jinyoung put on and goes to the hospital.

He catches his breath nervously and opens the hospital room door.

Looks like I've lost a little weight.

He looked at me with tears welling up in his eyes.

My heart sank.

Are you still... in pain?

I asked cautiously, but my younger sibling shook their head and laughed.

서유정(동생)

I missed you, unnie.

As I approached and hugged him out of pity, he let out a deep sigh.

서유정(동생)

My older sister is so kind..

서여주

What are you talking about?

As the female lead taps her younger sibling's forehead and speaks, the younger sibling lets out another sigh.

서유정(동생)

My sister is suffering because of me, it's sad.

서유정(동생)

You've worked so hard living with me.

서여주

Hey, it sounds like something an old man would say.

서유정(동생)

I'm doing this out of gratitude; I've finally matured.

The female protagonist comforts her younger sibling, who is forcing a smile, and strokes their hair.

서여주

I'm thankful too, little sister, for growing up so beautifully. Now all you need to do is get married well, right?

Let's laugh playfully, and smile together.

Okay, let's start by smiling again like this.

Even if both of their wounds are severe, they will heal, even if it takes time or pus forms.

So that someday, looking at the healed wound, I can smile and talk about that past.

I think it is enough to live well and become strong.

서여주

Let's go home with my sister

At those words, the younger sibling looked at the female lead and asked

서유정(동생)

What about your brother-in-law...?

서여주

Huh? Brother-in-law?

서유정(동생)

Ah... you said you were dating... aren't you?

The female protagonist is suddenly flustered by the awkward title.

서여주

I said I would get into the car by myself.

서유정(동생)

It's strange to have a brother-in-law younger than my older sister.

My younger sibling smiled sweetly as they said that and asked

서유정(동생)

Is it good? How is it?

I looked at my younger sibling after a slight pause.

Words cautiously uttered out of shyness

서여주

I'm happy..

A younger sibling who feels reassured by the words of Yeoju

서유정(동생)

I need to go see my brother-in-law. I have things to say, and there are some matters to settle now.

I was unnecessarily anxious seeing my younger sibling stand up as if determined, but

Seeing you looking so cheerful made me feel good.
