“I smile whenever I see you”
Today, I'm with you all the way
And then, the day came to add a little more color to that small world.

"Sister, you said you didn't have any plans for the weekend, right?"
Jimin asked with an excited face a few days ago.
이여주 (27세)
"Yeah. Why?"
박지민 (25세)
"Then run away with me for just one day."
이여주 (27세)
"escape?"
So we headed to a small seaside town.
A quiet, gentle breeze, far from the city. Jimin had prepared thoroughly.
A hat, matching sneakers, a camera, and even snacks just for the two of us.

"I've always wanted to try something like this."
Under the sun,
Jimin held my hand tightly and walked along the beach.
Sometimes, when the waves hit my toes, Jimin pretended to be surprised and hid me behind his back.
박지민 (25세)
"I'll protect you, Sister."
I laughed at the playful tone, but somehow it sounded sincere.
For lunch, I had warm fish cakes and dumplings bought from a nearby market.
Jimin even handed me some on chopsticks so that I could put it in my mouth more easily.
박지민 (25세)
"Does it really feel like you're in love?"
이여주 (27세)
"Not until now?
박지민 (25세)
"No, now... it feels more real.
박지민 (25세)
"You have no idea how much I've been longing for this simple day with my sister."
Jimin's eyes were serious.
At that moment, my heart sank once more.
In the evening,
We sat side by side on a small hill near the beach.
The sunset painted the sea crimson, and the breeze was slightly cool.
Jimin leaned gently on my shoulder.
박지민 (25세)
"I'm really happy these days. Because I have a sister."
Those words made my heart swell with warmth.
이여주 (27세)
"Me too, Jimin."
A moment of quiet silence. We gazed at the same sky, sharing the same warmth.
And at that moment, Jimin spoke quietly.
박지민 (25세)
"I wish days like this could last forever. My sister and I, like this."
I grabbed Jimin's hand and squeezed it tightly.
이여주 (27세)
"Okay. I promise. Let's stay together like this for a long time."
The promise we shared under the sunset was more profound and powerful than any confession.
