Sowon.

It means wishes.

Sowon can't help but think about how apt a name that is, for the excessive amount of wishes her small heart holds. It is overwhelming; Sowon feels that her heart will explode, or she will be crushed by the continual dismay of impossible wishes- of failures.

Her wishes range from simple, small ones to huge, burdensome ones. But either way, she thinks- she knows they all can't be fulfilled.

She wishes that she didn't have the insomnia, the feeling of being sleepy but unable to fall asleep due to the awaken mind full of unwanted thoughts. She wishes she could get a grip of herself, pull her life together and live the way she ought to. She wishes that she can be happy.

"Unnie, don't switch off the lights, wait for me," Yerin casually requests as she runs through the closet for her pyjamas, in preparation for a shower.

At least people are there for her. With loving people around her, perhaps Sowon doesn't need her wishes to be fulfilled.
