jeonghaniyoo_n
Yes haha


강여주
It did come out though...


강여주
Where are you?

I was wandering around in front of the apartment.

-Jiying, jiying


강여주
A phone call?

Jeonghan


강여주
It's Jeonghan

-Click,


강여주
hello?


윤정한
-Sister!


강여주
Yeah, where are you?


윤정한
-Come into the alley!


강여주
Oh, I see

-Ttuk

I hung up the phone and went into the alley.


윤정한
Sister!

Jeonghan found me and waved happily.


강여주
But why did you call?


윤정한
Ah.. I have something to give you!


윤정한
..to see your face too..

Jeonghan muttered something and said.


강여주
You have something to give me?


윤정한
yes

Jeonghan smiled brightly.


윤정한
This one!

Jeonghan handed me a mysterious bag.

It felt like there was something heavy inside.

Something like a plastic container..?


강여주
what's this?

I accepted the bag Jeonghan gave me and looked it over.

The outside was warm.


윤정한
Kill me!


강여주
.. porridge?


윤정한
yes,


윤정한
Just because I fell...


윤정한
I bought abalone porridge

Jeonghan smiled shyly.


강여주
ah...

Something came up and made me sad.


강여주
..Thank you, I'll eat well.

I laughed out loud.


윤정한
Don't overdo it.


윤정한
You don't have to try to live up to your brother's standards.


윤정한
Because you are my older sister.


윤정한
Not Kang Yeo-eun, but Kang Yeo-ju.

Tears welled up in my eyes for a moment.

I think it was the first time that someone really acknowledged me as ‘Kang Yeo-ju.’

No, is it the second time?

Will my father think of me as ‘Kang Yeo-ju’ now?


윤정한
Sister... your eyes are red


강여주
ah...!

I quickly turned around and wiped away my tears.


윤정한
...?


강여주
..I'll go now


윤정한
Oh.. okay

I waved my hand to Jeonghan.

Then, Jeonghan also waved his hand with a faint smile.

I headed home, holding the warm porridge tightly in my arms.


강여주
phew....

For some reason, I had a good feeling about the future.

I thought my life was an eternal rainy season with only dark clouds,

I guess this rainy season is finally over.

It seemed as if the sun was shining brightly behind the dark clouds.


강여주
Let's eat some porridge!

I slowly ate the porridge Jeonghan gave me.

A warm feeling filled my whole body.

- 3 days later -

선생님
Everyone worked hard on the exam.

선생님
Let's all go home-,

As soon as the teacher finished speaking, everyone started moving busily to go home.

I finished the test not badly, although not as well as Yeo-eun.

I felt much more at ease now that the burden of having to meet Yeo-eun's standards was gone.


윤정한
My lady!


강여주
Ah, Jeonghan..!


윤정한
Did you do well on your test?

Jeonghan asked with a cheeky smile.


강여주
I just watched it so-so..


윤정한
Chemistry is difficult after all..?


강여주
huh..

I smiled awkwardly.


윤정한
that...

Jeonghan hesitated as if he was about to say something.


강여주
huh?


윤정한
The exam is over...


윤정한
If you don't have any plans after that...


윤정한
Do you want to go out and play with me?
