The front door opened, and Jeong Ye-rin came into the house.

“Sister, are you here?”

“Uh, yes…”

However, her condition seemed different from usual.

“Sister?”

“Yes, Ye-eun. Why..?”

I couldn’t make eye contact with her easily, and my face was redder than usual.

“What, what happened?”

“Oh, no?! Something happened… nothing happened!”

Jeong Ye-rin had not yet escaped the aftermath of Choi Do-hyeon.

Also, she knew that Jeong Ye-eun’s crush on Moon Jeong-woo was transferring to Choi Do-hyeon.

As such, there was no way my younger brother could talk about something like that happening with the guy he liked.

Because I couldn’t be proud of myself, it was difficult to make eye contact.

What he had just done was something he could never tell anyone else.

Even though I had a boyfriend, I walked down the street at night holding hands with another man.

Even, that man was my younger brother’s favorite man.

If it were her, she would have already been buried in guilt, but Choi Do-hyun’s steady build-up succeeded in instilling a sense of immorality.

He found a thrill in going through what had just happened and talking to his younger brother as if nothing had happened.

“Surprise… Why are you screaming all of a sudden?”

“Well, I mean.. that much, I’m fine.. Haha.”

“Strange, today.”

“Byeo, it’s no big deal. Are you tired? Go in and sleep.”

“Hmm…”

Jeong Ye-eun slowly walked into the room.

Anyway, I confirmed that my sister returned home safely, and there was nothing to worry about anymore.

‘But, your expression… It’s similar to the expression I had when I was hugged by Dohyun a long time ago…’

She was tilting her head.

‘I guess I met Haram oppa. ‘Let’s not bother asking.’

She was trusting her sister.

Jeong Ye-eun could not even imagine that she would enjoy a high level of skinship with the man she liked, even though she also had a boyfriend.

If someone had said those things to her about her sister, she would have just laughed it off.

Saying that one should doubt Jeong Ye-rin had a level of trust similar to saying that the Earth is flat or that the sun actually rises in the west.

She went into the room and started calling Choi Do-hyun.

Calling him every night was now a routine I had become accustomed to.

-hello.

“Ah, Dohyeon! What did you do today? I – ”

When I heard his voice, I automatically burst into laughter.

It was amazing how a person’s mood could change so quickly.

Do all lovers in the world feel this way?

There was a dressed up teddy bear lying on the bed.

It was the clothes he had accidentally left behind when he came to nurse him last time.

Since he wasn’t looking for any clothes, he probably didn’t know they were gone.

‘Hehe, I guess I’ll have to take care of him.’

Since I am not able to get along well like this, I have no choice but to have people around me take care of me.

It didn’t feel like a drawback. Rather, it means that you are needed.

Of course, the doll was smaller than a real person and there was some clothes left, but that was enough.

Even the doll was chosen by Choi Do-hyun.

I could hear his voice, and there were clothes with his body odor on them, so it felt like I was hugging him, not a doll.

‘Seueueu…’

As I took a deep breath, his scent, which had not yet dissipated, entered my nose.

‘Hmm.. I like it…’

Is this heaven?

-Hey, are you listening?

“Ugh, yes.. of course.”

-Anyway, so, I want you to come over to my house next weekend? What day is it?

“Well, it’s not like that…”

Actually, it was her birthday.

If you let me know in advance, kind Dohyun will buy you a gift… then it will be a burden.

She had visited the neighborhood where he lived last time. I didn’t want to put any financial burden on myself.

“Just come and have fun..”

-okay. I’ll go.

His consent was declined.

-Are you done with what you wanted to say?

“Yes.. Oh, no! So…”

She wanted to continue the call somehow.

Coincidentally, I remembered a video I saw on the Internet a while ago, and decided to give it a try.

‘First turn on the recording…’

“Um, hey… do you want to pick one..?”

-what?

“Ji, from now on, I won’t sleep with you.”

-..self?

“Hehe.”

-what? What quiz is this?

“Oh, it’s nothing! Stop it!”

-What, nonsense. okay. Goes.

“Yes..! Good night!”

-Okay… good night.

Suddenly, the call was disconnected and the recording was saved.

She went into the recording file, cut and pasted it as appropriate, and processed it into a new file.

‘execution…’

-..Honey… sleep well.

Since there was a term before saying good night, it came out without any awkwardness.

When we connected like that, it felt like we were real lovers.

She had to hold on to her pounding heart.

‘Wow, this is so good…?’

She tried to tell me that she liked me several times, but held back.

Because the guy I like is Choi Do-hyun, there are so many attractive people around me like Yoo Ji-min and that martial arts senior… I kept getting scared.

Wouldn’t you hate it if you knew that something like this was being done behind your back?

At that moment, her eyes turned to the teddy bear.

‘This is really not possible… If I do it any further, it’s really bad…’

Hugging the dressed teddy bear, she set the recording file to play indefinitely.

Choi Do-hyun’s face appeared on the screen and I inhaled his scent to the fullest.

Slowly, she brought her trembling hand between her legs.

The dusty doll that Moon Jeong-woo had picked out was lying pitifully on the desk.

‘Doing this while thinking of a friend is the worst…’

She couldn’t stop her hand from moving.

How great would it be if we just left it like this? My ears, eyes, and nose were all filled with Choi Do-hyun.

A pleasant voice filled my ears.

A handsome face filled my eyes.

An intoxicating scent tickled my nose.

Even the texture was perfect because it was the clothes he used to wear.

That moment.

-Wooow.

[Moon Jeong-woo]

got a call.

In an instant, reason returned.

‘Huh..! My, what was I trying to do..!’

She immediately stopped acting.

My head got cold quickly.

“Big, big!”

She cleared her voice and prepared to answer the phone.

On the other hand, I also felt regretful.

Why am I calling now?

Of course now…

‘Oh, no! Let’s think that Jungwoo stopped it..! Yeah, because that’s a bad thing…’

She answered the phone.

“Ah, Jeongwoo. What’s going on?”

-Just doing something…

There was no smile on her lips like when she was on the phone with Choi Do-hyun.

**

Meanwhile, Jeong Ye-rin was sitting in front of her diary.

‘Whew…’

As someone who had followed the rules all her life, even something like this made her heart pound like it was going to explode.

Jeong Ye-eun had no idea what she was doing, but she was afraid.

It seemed like Jeong Ye-eun would realize the truth at any moment and get angry.

If you pour out words with a cold face, she won’t be able to accept them.

Anyway, even if it felt good… there was no doubt that it was a bad thing.

She slowly started writing in her diary.

I write about my outing with Choi Do-hyeon in a diary that contains only happy events.

At that time, the cell phone vibrated.

-Uh, Yerin.

“Haram..”

..She didn’t stop her hands.

I continued writing.

While on the phone with Kim Ha-ram, Son records what happened with Choi Do-hyeon.

This alone immediately felt thrilling.

She was gradually becoming addicted to this feeling of ‘doing something wrong’.

No, am I becoming addicted to Choi Do-hyun?

-What did you do today?

“Oh, I was just at home.”

A diary does not record everything that happened.

Like he said earlier… without lying and not telling the whole truth.

It is enough to just record that you went out with him and bought him a gift.

There is no need to say that I was happy.

Anyway, all the things written in this diary were happy things.

Just writing a record in a diary is the same as describing the emotions of that day.

After she finished writing in her diary, she put it in a drawer instead of on the desk where she usually left it.

Ye-eun won’t necessarily find the diary and read it, but she can leave it on the desk and open it at least once.

If that day even comes…

I don’t even want to imagine it.

Her brother will be disappointed in her, and all he will have to say is an apology.

In any case, his relationship with Kim Haram may also become strained.

Her image at school is ruined, and everything surrounding her becomes disorganized in an instant.

-..Well then, good night!

After the phone call with Kim Haram ended, she jumped into bed.

It reminds me of when I broke up with Choi Do-hyun.

-Okay, one photo today too. Turn on the camera.

So, I took a new photo next to the crosswalk traffic light.

Her hobby before going to bed was looking through the photos she had taken.

I fell asleep looking at the face of my boyfriend, whom I always loved.

However… Recently, the number of people she is looking at has increased to two.

She, who had only recalled memories with one person, now recalled memories with two people.

Among them, the scene that was most strongly stuck in her mind right now was during the day.

‘..It was powerful.’

So, the sisters fell asleep remembering the same person in both rooms.

Moon Jeong-woo’s doll was left covered in dust, and Kim Ha-ram’s photo did not appear on Jeong Ye-rin’s screen several times.
