As I moved, the time passed without me realizing it was 6 o’clock.

The sun was still up, but because of the rain, the sky was overcast and dark.

Under the dark sky, the two, holding an umbrella and hugging each other to avoid getting caught in the rain, slowly walked around the neighborhood looking for a place to fill their stomachs.

Not long after that, we found a family restaurant and went inside.

The interior, decorated in a clean white design, was clean and organized, and when the two entered, there were only a few people occupying the store here and there.

It seems like there aren’t many people because it’s raining.

Thinking that, Hansol looked around for a moment and sat down comfortably, finding a seat that looked good.

It’s not a fancy chair, but the seat is made of leather, so it doesn’t hurt your butt.

Hayun followed Hansol and sat down on the chair across from him, put her bag down next to her, and glanced at Hansol.

It was one of the habits Hayun developed these days. Pretending not to be like that, he glances at Hansol and pays attention to him. I tried to figure out how Hansol was feeling, joke around when he felt good, and keep quiet when he felt bad.

She didn’t know if it was useful or not, but Hayun tried to learn it and it eventually began to become a habit.

Anyway, the two carefully sat down, glanced at the menu and began to think.

What to eat, what to drink. While rolling his eyes, Hansol’s mouth opened first.

“How about this?”

“What is it?”

What Hansol’s finger was pointing at was T-bone steak.

Since it is a steak with both sirloin and tenderloin, it was the perfect choice when wondering what to eat between sirloin and tenderloin. It was also convenient because the portions were large so we could share them together.

Hayun looked at Hansol’s choice for a moment, then turned her eyes elsewhere.

Hayun, who was looking at the menu to see if there was anything else to eat, thought for a moment, but then stopped thinking and nodded.

It was because I thought that Hansol could eat whatever he wanted.

“Okay, let’s do that. Cooking medium? Medium rare?”

“Ha Yoon-in, what is good?”

In response to Hayun’s question, Hansol naturally looked back and asked.

It was a decision that could have been made without needing to ask, but Hansol deliberately asked back in order to call Hayun’s name.

When her name was called, Hayun froze and stiffened. She covered her mouth, which she was about to say, and took a pause before looking into Hansol’s eyes.

Hayun, who looked at the mischievous eyes for a moment, smiled and answered as if it was okay and that it would be okay as soon as today or tomorrow.

“Let’s go with medium.”

Hansol nodded willingly, as if he would accept Hayoon’s decision, and only sighed after ordering two pasta dishes and two ade.

Hansol, who slumped his shoulders and leaned back against the backrest for a moment, smiled and looked at Hayun.

Even though Hayoon seemed to have trouble adjusting to being called by her name by her younger sibling, it was cute to see her trying to hide her embarrassed expression and keep a smile on her face.

Hansol cut the appetizer bread into bite-size pieces with a knife and spread butter on it.

Hansol, who was about to put it in his mouth, paused for a moment and then looked at Hayun, who had taken the knife.

Then he looked down at the bread in his hand for a moment and stretched out his hand.

Hayun was startled when the buttered bread suddenly came close to her face, and her eyes widened. Hayun, who carefully shifted her gaze without showing embarrassment, looked at Hansol, who held out his arm following his hand.

When our eyes met, Hansol smiled.

“Now, Aang.”

Hayun was taken aback by the sudden act of affection, but considering it had happened before, she thought it wouldn’t be that difficult.

However, unlike before, I felt a little nervous as I could hear people talking around me.

“Aren’t you going to eat it?”

When Hayun hesitated for a moment, it was Hansol’s voice that brought her to her senses.

Hearing a voice that sounded like it was filled with disappointment, Hayun smiled as if it was not true and put her head forward and took a bite of the bread in her hand.

Bread cut into appropriate sizes entered her mouth, and the faint scent of butter spread out, making Hayun feel good.

After putting the bread in her mouth, the bread that Hayun had cut to put in her mouth was wandering around.

However, as I was about to eat it all, I noticed Hansol in front of me smiling and not eating anything.

Hayoon, who was concerned about that, wondered, “Do you really want me to eat this?” I wondered, so I carefully picked up the butter knife and spread butter on the bread.

Then he swallowed the chewy bread and opened his mouth, looking at Hansol carefully.

“You eat too.”

“Thank you.”

Hansol smiled brightly as if he was happy with Hayun’s actions and quickly took the bread Hayun offered him.

Hayoon seemed a little embarrassed, wondering what the siblings were doing outside, but the food quickly erased that thought.

The T-bone steak was steaming up on the iron plate, and a large bowl of pasta was placed in front of Hayoon and Hansol.

The two were able to comfortably begin their meal only after arriving at the cool ade.

Hayun, who quenched her thirst with an ade, glanced at the carbonara in front of her, rolled it up with a fork and spoon, and put it in her mouth.

The luxurious taste of the creamy cheese and the savory taste of the yolk immediately hit my mouth. Hayun’s eyes naturally opened wide at the taste.

I could tell right away that this was not a carbonara that would have just been filled with cream.

“Delicious.”

As he expressed his impressions with admiration, Hansol chuckled and took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

The tenderloin, with just the right amount of blood remaining, was gently crushed between his lips, and the taste of the meat, rich in butter, filled Hansol’s mouth.

Hansol savored the taste, thinking that it was a good thing he came here.

There was a brief conversation while eating, and when the bowl was empty and the stomach was starting to fill, Hayun put down the dishes first.

After drinking the last of the ade, he let out a cute sigh and leaned back.

“I’m full. How much did it cost… .”

Hayun briefly patted her stomach to express that she had eaten a lot, then stretched out her hand toward the receipt next to her.

Then Hansol looked at Hayun and waved his hand as if to put her down.

“I will calculate it. It’s okay.”

Hearing Hansol’s words, Hayun opened her eyes wide and looked at Hansol.

I’ve bought it for you often before, but why on a day like today? I thought about this question and thought about it for a while.

And after a while, I remembered my outfit today.

Why did you come out?

To bring Hansol an umbrella.

Why was it decorated like this?

Hansol said he was happy.

why?

Hayun threw herself, stopped answering herself, and swallowed a moan.

He seemed happy that Hansol was telling him that it was good for him.

Because I could tell from his actions even if he didn’t say it directly.

Because I could tell by looking at Hansol’s expression earlier.

Hayun, who gained confidence, felt a little relieved.

Before, the things I was doing were just things that kept getting mixed up because nothing was going right, but now I felt comforted that there was at least one thing that was working.

Hayun, who had been immersed in thought for a while, stopped with her gaze blankly fixed in the air, and Hansol looked at Hayun for a moment and then put down his spoon.

“What’s going on?”

“… Oh no. I was thinking about something else for a moment.”

“Really? Have you eaten everything?”

“Uh, yes. I’m full now.”

Hayun, who came to her senses after hearing Hansol’s words, quickly answered with a smile, and Hansol looked at Hayun like that and ignored it without paying attention and put the remaining meat in her mouth.

*

The price was much higher than usual.

However, Hansol was in a good mood, so he was willing to pay, and Hayun was shocked for a moment, but then smiled gratefully.

After leaving the family restaurant, the two wondered where to go, and instead of going to the hotel they had booked while eating, they headed to the movie theater.

The two of us were close together when we used the umbrella before, but now it felt like we were closer together than before.

As I snuggled into the nearby movie theater, the sweet scent of caramel tickled my nose.

Hansol, who was humming as if popcorn was like caramel, looked around.

Since I came in without even knowing what movies were there, the first thing I should do was look at the list of movies being shown.

The time is now 7:00, and the earliest it would start was at 7:10, but since the genre of the movie is horror and thriller, we decided to hold off.

The movie I chose after much hesitation was a romance movie that starts at 7:30.

Hansol wanted to watch an action movie or a thriller, but it started at 8 o’clock and there was no reason to wait for it. Moreover, since Hayun was there, there was a high possibility that he wouldn’t have seen it even if he had time, so Hansol didn’t really feel regretful.

Hansol chose the movie and took out the ticket, and the two headed to a place that sold popcorn.

The epicenter of the caramel scent that is a given in movie theaters.

The two took a seat behind the long line and looked at the menu posted above.

“Popcorn is of course caramel, right?”

“That’s good, but I want to eat butter-grilled squid.”

As Hansol spoke with a grin, Hayun added what she wanted to eat.

I don’t usually buy it, but when I go to the movies, there is something I buy even if I pay a lot of money, and that is squid.

“Then can it be the body? Plus two colas… ”

“Nachos would be delicious too.”

“Then we don’t have enough hands.”

“That’s right.”

After choosing a trivial menu, their hands ended up being filled with caramel popcorn, two glasses of cola, and butter-grilled squid bodies.

There was still quite a bit of time before the movie started, so I took a seat at a nearby table and started stuffing snacks into my mouth one by one, as if I had forgotten what I had just eaten.

Hayoon, who put the sweet-smelling squid in her mouth, shook her head and trembled as if she was happy.

Even before entering the theater, the squid disappeared.

As time passed, the two entered the theater and sat quietly in the darkened interior, staring at the screen.

A few advertisements passed, and the movie started on the screen, which was the only light in the completely dark space.

The story of the two started off sweetly, but for some reason, it only seemed interesting now.

For some reason, the gentle whispering between the two at the beginning gave Hayun a subtle feeling. And the conflict that followed soon after made Hansol nervous.

The story of love coming slowly and intensely made me feel excited as if it was my job, even though I knew it was not my job.

How long had passed? Hayun, with her hand on the handle of the chair, stopped and looked at the movie as if her body had frozen.

In the meantime, Hansol was distracted and looked at Hayun’s profile.

Then, he carefully moved his hand and placed his hand on Hayun’s hand.

Hayun, who was concentrating on the movie, was startled by the sensation of another hand being placed on top of the hand on the stand, so she turned her head to look at it, but soon realizing it was Hansol’s hand, Hayun turned her gaze back to the screen and immersed herself in the movie. .

As the relationship between the two escalated in the movie, their hands moved more and more frustratingly.

Their hands, which seemed to be still, seemed to be crossing each other little by little, and soon their hands were intertwined and they were holding each other’s hands tightly.

And just as the two held hands, the movie’s couple also ended with them holding hands and wishing each other happiness.

They must have lived happily ever after. Hansol, who was smiling like that, had a tremor of hesitation at the corner of his mouth.

Can I, holding hands like this, be happy with my sister?

Or is it impossible to even be happy in an unauthorized relationship?

To such a fundamental question, Hansol could not come up with an answer right away.
