...

Jeonghan listened quietly to my story until the end.

After telling you all about what happened today, my hands started shaking.

Even though I was used to indifference, this was a shock I had never felt before.

Jeonghan stared at my trembling hands.

윤정한 image

윤정한

..sister,

Jeonghan carefully held my hand.

Jeonghan's warm hand wrapped around mine.

윤정한 image

윤정한

... sorry,

윤정한 image

윤정한

How on earth am I supposed to comfort this person...

I gave a faint smile.

강여주 image

강여주

I'm grateful just for listening...

The fact that Jeonghan just listened to me without saying much was comforting.

Besides, holding my hand made me feel a little more at ease.

윤정한 image

윤정한

Are you going home now?

강여주 image

강여주

.. no

강여주 image

강여주

I don't want to go in..

I felt like I was becoming more honest when Jeonghan was in front of me.

윤정한 image

윤정한

Do you want to go to the nearby playground together?

강여주 image

강여주

You... what about studying...

윤정한 image

윤정한

My priority is my sister.

Jeonghan's words made my heart beat faster.

강여주 image

강여주

...

윤정한 image

윤정한

Because I can stay with you until dawn,

윤정한 image

윤정한

Come on!

Jeonghan gently held my arm and led me to the playground.

The atmosphere at the night playground was quite nice.

윤정한 image

윤정한

Would you like to sit on the swing?

강여주 image

강여주

good

We sat side by side on the swing.

It felt new because it had been so long since I rode a swing.

윤정한 image

윤정한

Sister,

강여주 image

강여주

huh?

윤정한 image

윤정한

Thank you for telling me.

강여주 image

강여주

...

윤정한 image

윤정한

I feel good because I feel like I'm special to my sister.

강여주 image

강여주

.. huh

I looked at Jeonghan and chuckled.

윤정한 image

윤정한

Am I special?

Jeonghan looked into my eyes and said.

I flinched slightly.

강여주 image

강여주

Yeah, that's right.

강여주 image

강여주

From the moment I first revealed my secret.

윤정한 image

윤정한

...!

Jeonghan's eyes widened, and soon his face turned red.

강여주 image

강여주

..what is the test tomorrow?

I felt awkward for no reason and changed the topic of conversation.

윤정한 image

윤정한

Literature... and this,

윤정한 image

윤정한

Physics... economics.

강여주 image

강여주

Then I just have to look at literature.

윤정한 image

윤정한

I have to take physics too...

Jeonghan pouts.

강여주 image

강여주

I have two subjects to study, so I should hurry up and go study.

윤정한 image

윤정한

...

윤정한 image

윤정한

Stay with me a little longer.

윤정한 image

윤정한

I'm fine

강여주 image

강여주

..thank you so much

I was about to get up from the swing, but Jeonghan's words made me sit back down.

.

..

...

We chatted on the swing for an hour.

As we were talking, we didn't even realize how much time had passed.

강여주 image

강여주

..what is it? it's already 9 o'clock

강여주 image

강여주

I have to go now.

윤정한 image

윤정한

Are you feeling better now?

Jeonghan looked at me worriedly.

강여주 image

강여주

Yeah, thanks.

I smiled brightly.

윤정한 image

윤정한

.. thank god

윤정한 image

윤정한

I'll take you home.

I smiled and nodded.

강여주 image

강여주

Thanks for bringing me.

강여주 image

강여주

.. Thanks to you, I came here with peace of mind

Jeonghan smiled and nodded.

윤정한 image

윤정한

If anything else comes up, please contact me.

윤정한 image

윤정한

Even if it's a message sent at 4 in the morning, I will definitely read it.

강여주 image

강여주

Aren't you worrying too much about me?

I chuckled.

윤정한 image

윤정한

I'm very worried.

강여주 image

강여주

That much?

윤정한 image

윤정한

.. yes

윤정한 image

윤정한

nice-,

Jeonghan stopped talking.

Jeonghan made a face as if he had said something he shouldn't have.

강여주 image

강여주

Huh? What did you say?

윤정한 image

윤정한

.. no

윤정한 image

윤정한

Study hard..!

Jeonghan left the place in a hurry.

강여주 image

강여주

Uh uh...

강여주 image

강여주

bye...!

I waved my hand at Jeonghan, who was walking away from me at a quick pace.

강여주 image

강여주

what..

강여주 image

강여주

What were you trying to say...

-Clang,

어머니

You said you were going to the convenience store, why are you coming home so late?

강여주 image

강여주

...

I didn't respond.

어머니

Heroine..?

-bang,

I ignored my mother's words and entered the room.

The room that was usually so cozy now felt messy.

I thought I had calmed down a lot thanks to Jeonghan,

When I saw my mother's face again, I started to feel shaky again.

강여주 image

강여주

ha...

I took a deep breath.

강여주 image

강여주

..I should study

I sat down at my desk and took out my literature textbook.

-The next day-

-Drunk,

고하율 image

고하율

Heroine..!

강여주 image

강여주

uh..?

고하율 image

고하율

You look so tired..

강여주 image

강여주

Did you study too hard..?

I smiled awkwardly.

고하율 image

고하율

Are you only looking at literature today?

강여주 image

강여주

huh.

고하율 image

고하율

i envy you..

고하율 image

고하율

Good luck on your test!

Ha-Yul smiled at me.

강여주 image

강여주

Yeah, you too

My head was pounding and I felt dizzy, maybe because I stayed up all night studying.

The moment I was about to sit down, my vision became blurry.

And then I just fell to the floor.

고하율 image

고하율

고하율 image

고하율

Kang Yeo-ju...!!!!

고하율 image

고하율

Kang Yeo-ju....!!!!!!!!

전원우 image

전원우

My consciousness became clouded.

I could hear the faint sound of students murmuring.

고하율 image

고하율
