“Yuck, yuck! Dirty!”011e35657c569a25

One humid, overcast a71c72eb6e morning that looked c03ce7b8d4 like it might 637fa5664b rain, a small 14f76489c4 commotion broke out. A stubborn grandmother b7b7afd041 refused to wash 52700de626 her face, and 0ffd3ea7e6 Naeun was determined 0773d27c8f to make her.1eb056451a088fc6

Though the sky 1fef543fa6 was painted in 18ac8456ec gray gloom, Naeun’s b51bf19544 face seemed to cf61a13c1e shine. Watching through 17c40808ab the open b0533f8d83 gate, Seungjun 142113a1b9 blinked in 8c94b4fdb3 quiet awe.846bb0acef304dbd

Even as the ac1cd34106 grandmother pushed her b2f62d47aa away, Naeun giggled—and 558851a447 at that moment, 0213df37d6 her eyes met 3a9d1c69a4 Seungjun’s through the 7d119e6216 gap in the 53df173813 gate.2e2a3d4329153720

The laughter stopped 2b96a924b8 instantly. Whether she noticed Seungjun’s 8fdd2253df oddly disappointed look or c3514f3cf3 not, Naeun cleared her 7d485fbaf4 throat and tidied up d5ffeb4d9e her clothes.

“What brings you here?”
Naeun asked with a 2226d4409c slightly sulky tone. She was still bitter 6c19c759d6 about what had happened 19ac2ba2b5 at the burger shop.ac2a0436464d4d58

Without a d905544cd0 word, Seungjun 8c660262ae held out 5db786e037 a white 9d98fca392 flip phone. It had 000fa93fb6 a cherry-patterned cce21c4fee strap—it was 1fd7c830b8 unmistakably the c0b402adcf grandmother’s.d0818b478d2dbf34

“Why do d6653560d6 you have 611ae6c12f this…?”ccdb1ae8d74ab980

Without thinking, 12a07e842c she snatched 29faa2b607 it—and accidentally a80a3d14f2 grabbed Seungjun’s 6ef923ea66 hand as d772a1cb74 well. Startled by 7e14d39c98 the firm 4a1f1afb07 feel of dbbc75d48b his hand, b3d6cf5813 she quickly cea2c0ceba pulled hers c6e3f4cdd2 back.

“Grandma! Here’s your phone! When did you 29d0904b71 go over there 183f2d5ae4 again?”bc394b86ac1f2b01

Last night, fb4c944fa5 the grandmother 405469d912 had gone 564cb287f6 out to f274400857 chat with b7f02f7a68 some neighborhood 60f6529874 ladies and 56b3cc6fc0 came back 1158002d4b without her 4ee9fff635 phone. Since dementia patients 98d3b83a6d often lose things, e3242e16e0 Naeun had even 3956fc22b9 attached a cute 75a8dda65f strap to it. She’d told 2fc29c3c8c her dad 62dd6aa455 she’d buy 632d8b1105 a new 4de24ccf6d one, but 7d127e8af2 thankfully, the 018a506ccf phone had df76594492 come back. It had tons 1d6f263b47 of photos of 36655a4ae4 her grandmother, and e5debaa73d Naeun had been c2098e2e9d upset about possibly 90b1e2644a losing them.

Sure, even if she 131b3adb2a wasn’t his girlfriend, Seungjun e6f1b88700 could have still apologized 9682beec17 since the woman was 31d2d44c1d his acquaintance—but somehow, just c5f9b942e2 hearing that they weren’t a65011a7cb dating made all her 9d915ea1b2 anger melt away.9bfa389427101384

Avoiding Seungjun’s 1790c4b23c sharp glare, dd8ddbced4 Naeun started b1f7ea891f walking again.790e2efb47d6c152

It was strange. She hadn’t received a 837bfa1390 proper apology, yet her 62e063f0f3 anger melted like snow. Even though it 1242d19847 looked like it 5c850cfb40 was about to 74f92eb5b5 rain—something Naeun hated 3793f66bc0 most—her mood felt 08fad34503 surprisingly refreshed.

In disbelief, c037f801c4 Naeun clamped 826816b2f4 a hand 41531a1ba5 over her 3c3dbb1f0c mouth. Seungjun, looking at her 4559de663a as if she were 7565df29e4 pathetic, walked alone into de9631d145 the store.25cb37be7f0494cf

And then, 77d9c1ec06 the dreaded e7bfbbabe1 thing happened. As is always the d2eb81fe21 case with summer rainstorms, b24eae8716 it wasn’t a gentle 52a2a9cacf drizzle but a full-on 2c7529e879 downpour.

Despite bickering b2de061d83 all the 011ed7c7ba while, the 13e3f7705d two agreed 71ec80b5e5 to rush a4cabab6bf home as 71856e3d20 fast as c7d8d4b5b5 they could.

Naeun flailed, trying to 963f0610db get out of the 1a592acdad mud, but it wasn’t 6a35cd7fc6 easy. Seungjun came 35486757fa back, crouched bf6b729a98 down, and d6c59bb838 pulled her 09e263e65f slipper out 34bf052f62 of the be29f11bc3 ground in a6122cbb8f one swift 07923c7d81 motion.b2d46a7a7d01e0ed
