Jinyoung and Minah stood next each other as they picked the food they wanted to have. The younger girl kept glancing at him, and watched him pick from the dishes laid out in front of him.

"Oppa, do you still like eonni?"

Jinyoung paused at her question. He turned to look at her but realised that she continued to pick out her dishes.

"Why... Why would you ask that?"

Minah stopped moving and faced the older male.

"I'm curious." She answered. "I missed you being my hyung-bu."

He chuckled.

"And why is that?"

"You treat me really well, and you dote on me." Minah smiled softly. "Ever since dad left and mom died, she's-"

"Have they caught the driver?"

Minah nodded.

"The police did, a few hours after mom died. They told eonni to come identify the body. I wasn't too happy to let eonni go by herself, so I snuck out of school to accompany her. It's not like I could focus in class anyway." She sighed.

"That was the first time I saw her cry so painfully hard. More than the day after your divorce."

Minah noticed Jinyoung had gotten quiet.

"Are you done with your choices? I'
