Present Day, 2018

“I think you should enlarge that one and hang it on your wall, Pumpkin.” Miyoung stands by her toes to sneak on the photograph that her taller dongsaeng currently holds in front of her. “This apartment looks so lonely that I get depressing every time I visit.” She shakes her head in distaste when she does another round of spectacles upon the almost all white walls of the new apartment.
