Ninth Sketch
Sketch of Tomorrow"Why do you keep on smiling? You are scaring the hell out of me since morning." Shinhye blurted to her brother while she is preparing before leaving the house. "Something good?"
Seojun turned to her while never losing the smile that creeps her sister. "I just had a very good morning. That's all twin sis."
Shinhye acted like having allergy in her arm. "Spill it, Seojun. I've never seen you like that in my life except when it relates to Jieun." She stopped and hinted at that time. "Oh, so there's something going on between you and Jieun?" She nearly exclaimed.
