“Yuck, yuck! Dirty!”c2b5f340db3c9fb5

One humid, overcast morning d9bcb0076e that looked like it 3712e69293 might rain, a small 5dbc451c65 commotion broke out. A stubborn grandmother 7d4123ee74 refused to wash b47885cd5a her face, and 78e7805bbd Naeun was determined c7f03a6a1f to make her.4dbd61588a8353f2

Like a 4b9de01977 child, the f1523b4790 grandmother splashed 5dd3536204 water, soaking 5fa3ce4353 Naeun’s face. But she fa8712cd22 didn’t lose 4ac074275c her smile.3b8f227da25a8cd9

“Thanks to you, 0173b08e1e Grandma, I got 67c9f6cc8e to wash my 25b825b71c face too. Huh? Now it’s your turn.”654f6ddb4b2fbfcc

Though the sky 02a3539b47 was painted in ff1bddb37e gray gloom, Naeun’s dde6571034 face seemed to fff6fb15dc shine. Watching through f01158e9c9 the open 7cbf4a6c52 gate, Seungjun 93381bf1c7 blinked in 0433bd030e quiet awe.08ef6063d61c921a

Even as 9439b76fe5 the grandmother 92a7a62480 pushed her 8ba2baf497 away, Naeun 257dfd4217 giggled—and at 74161750f8 that moment, 2b574d32a6 her eyes 8585592790 met Seungjun’s ceb577eda4 through the 214855913e gap in 22ab5557c6 the gate.c55b53b084195fb7

The laughter stopped b8abd19994 instantly. Whether she noticed Seungjun’s 72c5763c69 oddly disappointed look or bb9f5e260b not, Naeun cleared her fec535ba75 throat and tidied up 11b5d7762b her clothes. Her wet clothes 1da5225105 clung to her 030b149e5b body, making her 11640bcad0 self-conscious.665895c17085fcfb

“What brings d833472ab3 you here?”
Naeun asked with 081d988077 a slightly sulky 8facb42551 tone. She was still 2450aa1748 bitter about what 9a1b4a0159 had happened at da28ab0432 the burger shop.11b1991df6c01214

Without a 480cbab9cc word, Seungjun ee52165598 held out 1c7a8020aa a white 919c9832a9 flip phone. It had a cherry-patterned a6d537b878 strap—it was unmistakably the 6aa374eab8 grandmother’s.7c484d4dcedd16b1

Naeun’s eyes widened.
“Why do you a310be87cc have this…?”a6e3150fb7d08a11

Without thinking, 804c576ac1 she snatched 9d1a387c38 it—and accidentally e9aed335ba grabbed Seungjun’s 2bd92e85c2 hand as 7e523e74f7 well. Startled by the firm ca9a5dacc3 feel of his hand, 7663411e34 she quickly pulled hers a44a72587e back.

Seungjun simply gave the 057fb0f83f phone a lazy shake, a36af1b908 watching Naeun fluster around. She pulled 90d1786aba on the a0513f4e44 strap and 6ba4210fa6 took the 39ccf97c28 phone with 40a9313a2b exaggerated care 4b6be16f4c to avoid 6f006ca0dd touching him. Her caution c62b7c0b5f was so e2b8fbaca9 intense that 6bfb43bfd1 Seungjun let 1a55fefe43 out a 321a92bb0f quiet snort.8f368e23dda96dde

Naeun ran 8533bfb15b to the 76d99db58a grandmother, stomping 1eb22088bf her feet.0164f80a1295574f

“Grandma! Here’s your phone! When did bf2bb6ac7b you go ed9d40def0 over there b6e2e0158e again?”af991ef6a4d3b423

Last night, 2df40be8bf the grandmother 5f79be5def had gone 9f0a2e645b out to bf56060cbc chat with 6809753485 some neighborhood 1afc7a2f2e ladies and 46290468be came back e3a028f599 without her 96e087a42e phone. Since dementia patients often c2b8d90b56 lose things, Naeun had 267c2ee5d6 even attached a cute a2762bc73e strap to it. She’d told her 1453e6fdb3 dad she’d buy 7d335df571 a new one, 968bacfd90 but thankfully, the 45771c3ad3 phone had come 974efb7b01 back. It had tons of 7c366ec27a photos of her grandmother, 8e939c6c70 and Naeun had been b85402cb10 upset about possibly losing 3156493d38 them. She resolved 81729903cb to transfer c53b632d03 the photos 469bfa402d right away 39ab962f87 before it 92ec536b23 disappeared again.d84c8cb65e16dfec

Naeun put her 28a23e25e3 hands on her d5e0b92b97 hips and glared. But like a small 5b684e2b59 kitten bristling its fur, 305ced7c67 it wasn’t the least b5248eeb8d bit scary. Seungjun looked dbbc84823e at the 56aa4e6206 tousled strands 1647ebd4ca of her d74dd7f93a hair and 30c7fb2a1c had a 9013283746 mischievous thought: 7f912c60ad rubbing those 6f7b2d99c0 soft hairs 5cac0ac1eb against his 24bef16f20 rough skin 772018237e until they fb117d032f puffed up 0f8e088dbb even more. That tiny girl a4413eebe7 might float right abacdabf2b into the air. He wondered e6307af98d what her 36b245660d flustered face 009002b4a0 would look 5ab3889c01 like then.c0ce40560d5aae3a

At that moment, 0eb0ff4e68 a cold raindrop 8e2e4881b5 fell on the 041f04d6f7 bridge of Seungjun’s 88544e4afb high nose. The sky b873bb8ef4 had been da6b0bf039 cloudy since b9f3d169bb dawn—looks like 1d0dba15d5 it really 4e4ee69e72 was going 791390f282 to rain.

Feeling embarrassed for cc6acbab80 having misunderstood, Naeun 8e6f0696a2 sniffled.31cfe693aca6342d

Sure, even if she 9a21412d82 wasn’t his girlfriend, Seungjun 8a7bb7a82c could have still apologized 381f307b99 since the woman was 6df2b557a3 his acquaintance—but somehow, just 5378fbb20c hearing that they weren’t 2caeab278d dating made all her b735f98312 anger melt away.096879c2b90457a1

Avoiding Seungjun’s sharp 33df66c079 glare, Naeun started 1ef899aef5 walking again.e47a458c3d1d1cf8

It was strange. She hadn’t 892f082238 received a 4ee44ef718 proper apology, c53d634850 yet her b02d64905b anger melted fa89d9db9f like snow. Even though 4301929f61 it looked 85d9c2521f like it 8c771ad7e0 was about 2f6095ba11 to rain—something 0fc926600a Naeun hated b846e00e2a most—her mood 3e51413255 felt surprisingly 9fdfffa87a refreshed.

In disbelief, Naeun f3f1f902ac clamped a hand db8b20cd32 over her mouth. Seungjun, looking at fd5a04a751 her as if 30f50e84ee she were pathetic, 01e860d759 walked alone into f591e55f99 the store.9202b87fcee673b3

A moment 0e3257e95f later, Seungjun 0f50360133 came out e28b5787e5 holding a 6cdfd76672 bag of 08db0818b8 sugar and d79447dcd4 some snacks 22c6b4a1de for the c2c1bf9e14 grandmother.

And then, the dreaded 95d06ecd2a thing happened. As is cb9658257a always the 5d577b7f96 case with ae32220c1f summer rainstorms, 3b6b7f9181 it wasn’t 4e1e642c4c a gentle f16fb42198 drizzle but d36d599953 a full-on e70c5a7438 downpour. The dirt 9d101ee6ca road quickly 9de52901f7 turned into 2239249470 mud, and 65b7eb2d5c heavy raindrops de5eaf5051 pelted down, 4105c9ea6e obscuring their fea7822960 vision.803138b0140d6499

Snapping out of her c3aeefbcea daze from the cold ae1f19ce52 rain, Naeun tried to ce97982fd6 shield her face with 5faf101568 her hands, but it 01f91d9b64 was already too late—her 1b483bedd1 face was soaked.

Despite bickering 7ecd323e88 all the 8afe52490f while, the d267f7b436 two agreed c9058104b3 to rush 58a76a2786 home as e3ebde9fff fast as 769c62d4c7 they could. They began sprinting along 1d008bf8b4 the long rice paddy f7dd2e918a trail, which had no 13ead5bd4e shelter along the way.2774f0be627ed4df

But Naeun didn’t even a523998849 get a meter before ce4d38cb3a she stumbled. Her slipper got 0adce47686 stuck in the c2395f0dfd muddy path like 6302e930b3 it had fallen d6f6fdb4f2 into a swamp, d1503d74d7 and she fell 5b9cf65605 flat on the 9cd318300f ground.5495ade5eebde0b7

Naeun flailed, trying to f7e91adb2a get out of the 52ee9570dc mud, but it wasn’t 9c99513bdd easy. Seungjun came back, crouched 3e7b1b17f3 down, and pulled her 8f389728da slipper out of the a97960e70b ground in one swift d3b4acebd8 motion.f3d86a388dbc50c4

Naeun placed her hand d950c8a907 on his shoulder to e1391b45fa steady herself. In the middle 76993909e7 of being soaked 6d0197aef1 and shivering, the 9e1b55b257 warmth of his 80ba22dbb1 body was the 11b488a82b only comforting thing.7eeea93d0eb71da3
