Yewon came early... Yewon!! Are you crying???

After all the classes were over, I returned home tired.

While taking off her shoes, Yewon saw them.

I said hello to Yewon, who arrived earlier than usual, and went to the living room.

I found Yewon crying on one side.

What happened?

I quickly went to Yewon and hugged her.

Ugh.... ugh.....

When I see Yewon crying sadly in my arms,

I couldn't imagine how this tiny, fragile child could endure such a great ordeal.

What happened to Yewon could be seen as an unbearable experience.

How much... heartache must that little child have to endure...?

I feel so sorry for Yewon

I felt so sorry for this little child in my arms.

What....what are you sorry about...?

김소정

uh...?

When Yewon asked me what I was sorry about, I was too embarrassed to answer.

So what on earth am I sorry about to you?

You always say sorry to me, sis. What on earth are you so sorry about that you keep saying sorry to me? What on earth are you for?

I took Yewon out of my arms at her words.

Yewon was still crying

I wiped away Yewon's tears with my hand.

But Yewon pushed my hand away, as if she didn't like even my touch.

I hate you, unnie!!! I hate you, unnie!!!! This world!!! You!! Everything!!!!! I hate you, I detest you, I don't want to see you!!!!!!!

After saying those words, Yewon left the house without a word.

Yewon...!

Before I could grab Yewon in a hurry,

Yewon left home

Ring ring ring~♬

The sound of the door locking echoed throughout the house.

Yewon, who had never cried in front of me,

Yewon, who had never gotten angry in front of me,

Yewon, who never once said anything bad in front of me,

I left the house crying, getting angry, and complaining.

Yewon....

I called out Yewon's name, who had already left the house.

No answer came.

I felt empty

I felt empty without even one Yewon.

I felt lonely

I felt lonely without a single Yewon

I was lonely

I felt lonely without Yewon

Yewon, did you feel this way too?

Did you feel this way while I was in that little room?

Is this what you are feeling right now?

Ah.. Kim Ye-won!!!!

As soon as that thought occurred to me, I quickly put on my shoes and ran out of the house to find Yewon.

Yewon, please don't go far away...
