Sojung stretches her hands out, one with the palm fully opened and the other hand with only a thumb up.
"Six," three-year old Eunbi confidently answers.
Sojung smiles and retracts an arm, before flashing a V sign with the other.
"Two," another answer comes without any hesitation.
"Good girl," Sojung ruffles Eunbi's hair. "Eat up," she says and does so herself as well.
"Unnie eat this again?" the child asks and points to the cup of instant noodles before Sojung. "Ra... Myeon," Eunbi runs her finger along the wordings printed on the sides of the cup. Sojung cannot help but feel her chest swell in immense pride.
"Smart girl," she says and pats Eunbi on the head.
"Unnie no want eat other?" she asks next with large, curious eyes.
"Unnie is okay," Sojung smiles, her heart melting at the concern the innocent child is showing her.
"Unnie this!" Eunbi shoves her spoon into the rice before her stretches her arm out, placing the spoon in Sojung's face.
Sojung raises an eyebrow.
"Unnie eat," Eunbi says next, her arm stubbornly not faltering.
Sojung blinks and feels tears welling up in her eyes. "Unnie will eat," she softly says and consumes the rice on the spoon held up before her. As Sojung chews and swallows the food, tears uncontrollably starts trickling down her face.
"Unnie don't cry," Eunbi pouts and her eyes water up immediately.
