Children
It was more fun to be children
We just took life as it happened
Run through the days
Don't look behind
Over wink of an eye and it's over
What a surprise to discover
We were people ourselves

No answer ever came to me
"Ne unnie," Yewon called out to her elder sister whilst biting onto the warm cup in her hands that she was drinking from, without taking her eyes away from the dark scene before her that depicted the night skyline of Seoul.
"Yes?" Yuna turned to face the younger one in response.

Yuna noticed and could not help but chuckle at how adorable her sister was. "I understand you, Yewon-ah," she stretched a hand out and her hair, "I really do."
The two stayed in a long moment of silence, overwhelmed with the bittersweetness of having grown up.
"My childhood wish was to be taller than unnie," Yewon giggled.
"My childhood wish was to be a great unnie," Yuna replied without much thought. The two fell into silence after realising what she had said.
"It came true, for a very long time now," Yewon muttered under her breath, before turning to face the elder girl with a brig
