Watercolors in the rainWheein got surprised when she saw her best friend coming back home that early.
_____ Byul-Yi, did they fire you?
The slim girl stepped aside and the younger girl widened her eyes with the presence of Kim Yongsun.
_____ No. Wheein, this is Yongsun ssi.
_____ Hi. But why are you bringing someone here, unnie? What's going on?_____ The cute girl was scared.
______ Nice to meet you, Wheein. I'm friends with Hyejin. Remember her?_____ The lawyer smiled.
_____ Ah, really? Yeah, I do remember her.
Wheein walked towards her only person and murmured:
_____ Did I do something wrong? Did she find us out because of me?
Moonbyul held the short girl's shoulder and smiled:
_____ You could never do anything wrong, Wheein-ah. This lady is a lawyer and she is very nice. She helped Hyejin a long time ago. And now she's gonna help you too.
_____ Help me? Help us both, right?
The taller one averted her eyes and walked around the living room that was falling into pieces.
_____ I'm sorry, Wheein-ah. I'm tired of not having a life. I need my privacy. I want to be able to do things just because I want. Not because I need to take care of someone.
The 17-year-old started crying with clear despair:
_____ So this is what you really felt? I was a burden after all.
Yongsun tried to hide her shock due to the environment the two girls were living. But Wheein's reaction affected her.
The brown-haired one shook her head and replied with frustration:
_____ Of course you were never a burden. I'm just saying that I need to have a life. I'm worn out physically and mentally. This person over there can help you have a career, to study, and mostly importantly...to get healthy. Knowing that makes me feel relief. Maybe I'll sleep now. Is it that hard to understand my side?
Wiping her tears, Wheein responded with a broken voice:
_____ No, I understand. I will get my stuff...
_____ Don't worry, Wheein. We'll get you need things._____ The attorney declared with a lively tone.
The girl stared at her best friend trying to believe in that reality to be able to move on.
_____ Good luck, Wheein-ah. I know you'll make Yongsun ssi proud. She'll be amazed at your talent for art. Eat well from now on. Avoid staying awake until late.____ The handsome girl faked that she was excited.
Wheein glanced at the floor and mumbled:
_____ Thank you for raising me and keeping me alive despite destroying your childhood.
_____ You didn't destroy anything, Wheein-ah...
The blonde held the girl's hand and delicately led her outside the abandoned house.
Moonbyul waited until they left to fall on her knees and cry.

Wheein couldn't smile even with all Hyejin's funny comments and the great life she started having.
The girl hadn't seen her best friend for two weeks and Yongsun tried hard to make her feel at home.
The attorney got impressed with the minor's painting skills and asked if she wanted to go to college and dedicate to that.
Although she was extremely thankful for all the opportunities that the blonde was offering, Wheein couldn't really enjoy the moment.
Hyejin covered the cute girl with attention an
