“Wow, is this your sister’s car?”

“Is it good?”

Minah couldn’t help but be amazed.

A black, high-end sports SUV.

8 cylinder 4 liter engine.

650 horsepower.

The numbers are shameful, but the exterior was very cool.

Even Minah, who wasn’t interested in these things, couldn’t keep her mouth shut.

“Did your parents buy it for you?”

“…You can say that, right?”

Eunha’s answer is not a lie.

Because I bought it with the money of my father who committed suicide.

“Not a car like this, just that low car? I’ve only ridden something like this…it’s amazing.”

“You’re talking about a sedan. A lot of people usually ride it.”

Mina’s eyes widened again.

“You know a lot about cars, right?”

“Yes…racing was my hobby.”

For Eunha, who had no escape, racing was her only way to relieve stress.

No matter how irritating or frustrating it was, running coolly would relieve it.

A woman who didn’t know anything about cars became interested and learned about them one by one, and became as much of a car fanatic as most men.

“Not now.”

“Uh…? Why?”

“There was an accident.”

“Ah……”

It was a serious accident where the car overturned.

Eunha drove the car with the thought that whatever would happen would happen.

Since my life was so terrible that I could die, I thought it would be okay to die while running like this.

However, at the moment of the accident, Eunha’s mind was filled with the words, “I want to live.”

It was different from what I thought.

Death was scarier than I thought.

I had the same thought when I climbed the Han River Bridge.

“So don’t worry too much. Even if this car was suitable for racing, I wouldn’t run it.”

“Rather, I wanted to see my sister’s racing skills…but it’s a bit disappointing.”

“Then… shall we go for a run after a long time?”

“Ah…ah…no! It’s okay, it’s okay!”

Eunha smiled at Minah, who was hurriedly waving her hand, as if she thought it was cute.

“Now, get in quickly. I’m going to be late. I definitely have a place to go before it gets dark.”

Eunha opened the car door and urged Mina.

****

It was a really nice car.

Even Minah, who doesn’t know much about cars, can feel it.

Minah is not from a poor family.

My dad is a doctor.

The doctor bought the most expensive German sedan for his daughter.

The father’s feeling was that money was not important as long as his daughter was comfortable.

Even Minah, who had driven such a nice car, felt good about Eunha’s car now.

The ride comfort is similar.

But it was a bit more athletic.

Eunha, who said she quit racing, was driving rough.

Of course, from Eunha’s point of view, this was driving calmly, but from Eunha’s point of view, it was rough.

This is because the car that Minah was riding in, her father Eunhyuk’s, drove very smoothly.

“Wow… the car moves like this?”

But Mina had no objection at all.

It felt like riding a fun ride with a bit of thrill.

It was proof that Eunha’s driving skills were that good.

“Aren’t you scared?”

“It’s okay.”

The wind coming from the open panoramic sunroof was soothing Minah’s stressed mind.

“You said you go for a drive whenever you’re stressed, right?”

“Yes, I did.”

“I think I understand why you said that.”

Eunha slightly rolled her eyes and looked at Minah sitting in the passenger seat.

Mina had her eyes closed.

It seemed like I was enjoying the breeze flowing in from the panoramic sunroof.

Eunha smiled as she looked at Minah with a calm expression.

The drive was originally designed to reduce Mina’s stress.

It could be said that more than 50% of the galaxy’s goals had been achieved.

But the remaining 50% remains.

The hot sun was gradually losing its strength.

“It’s late. I have to go quickly. Can you speed it up a little more?”

“Yes, it’s okay.”

In fact, it is not a good idea to open the panoramic sunroof at high speeds.

But thanks to that wind, Minah had a satisfied face.

I didn’t want to ruin that face.

“Hold on tight. It’ll get a little rougher.”

“Yes, sister. Please.”

Buaaaa!!

Eunha began to step on the accelerator deeply.

The 8-cylinder engine finally began to show off its skills.

Weekday afternoon.

So the car was driving towards the eastern sea.

****

“Huh?”

“What’s wrong?”

“Oh…no, sister.”

Minah was surprised when she saw where Eunha stopped the car.

It was a beachside food stall that I came to with my dad, Eunhyuk and Arin.

“This is a place I come to occasionally.”

“Why…why?”

Minah gathered her embarrassment and asked.

‘Could it be… it’s not related to Dad or Arin…? I guess so…?’

gulp.

Mina swallowed dry saliva.

A place where Minah has bad memories.

The place where Arin and I were completely defeated in a drinking contest.

“I stopped by this place while driving… the red light projected onto the sea at sunset was so pretty. So come by sometimes. I wonder if I will be able to see that sunset again then.”

“Ah……”

Mina held out her heart..

Because it had nothing to do with what she was worried about.

“The food here is delicious. Let’s go in.”

“Your sister.”

With a lighter heart, Minah began to follow Eunha, who was leading the way.

****

Crack.

The sound of a soju lid being lifted.

“Let’s have a drink.”

soju.

Minah knew how to drink.

But I can’t drink it now.

Because she was pregnant.

“Well…a little today…”

“We had a drink before, right?”

“My health is…a bit…”

It was Minah who even beat Eunha in Jiu-Jitsu sparring today.

In the past, I occasionally drank alcohol.

But suddenly you stop drinking because of your health.

“Okay. Then can I have a drink alone?”

“Yes……”

Eunha was a little skeptical, but decided not to doubt it because she was a junior she trusted.

“Uh…well…today…”

“There is a hotel near here. Let’s sleep there and go early tomorrow morning.”

“Uh…..yes……”

Mina’s face frowns slightly and then straightens.

‘That’s where my father and the disgusting woman went together…’

But the galaxy didn’t see it.

I was absorbed in the waves lapping right next to me.

“At sunset time, it is really pretty to see a very red sunset reflected on the sea. I’ve been here many times, but I’ve only seen it once.”

“Then I might not be able to see you today.”

“Because Minah is lucky, I might be able to see her today?”

Joo Wook.

Eunha drank soju.

“Ha~ As expected, drinking soju at the beach is delicious.”

Originally, Eunha did not drink with other people.

It was because of his authority as the student body president.

The purpose was to build a more objective and rational image.

But Mina was different.

I wanted to share everything with her.

So, Minah and I started drinking.

‘My family life… is difficult to talk about.’

Actually, Eunha wanted to be comforted.

Sharing your struggles with others is a great comfort.

Eunha was not receiving any such comfort.

They came with the purpose of relieving Minah’s stress, but in reality, Eunha had other plans.

‘If I drink like this… maybe I can talk to Mina?’

Joo Wook.

Eunha took a sip of her drink.

The highest quality natural red sea bream sashimi.

But neither Eunha nor Minah, who ordered it, did anything.

Eunha to get drunk quickly.

Minah is for her father’s child in her womb.

****

Crack.

It was my 4th bottle of soju.

“Sister… aren’t you drinking too much?”

Eunha waved her hand at Minah’s worried words.

“I don’t get drunk because I drink with good friends and with a nice view.”

Eunha held Minah’s hand.

“Thank you always. Min, ”

“Yes…? What……”

“Because you listened to my story…I feel comforted.”

This is my first time hearing this.

Minah always took advantage of people.

That’s why I haven’t heard anything like this.

For Minah, Eunha is the second most selfless person after her father.

That’s why I matched Eunha’s mood a lot and told a lot of heartfelt stories.

For Eunha, people around her always said only refined words to herself.

Those called family treated them as sex slaves or treated them like strangers.

There was no one who was as honest as Minah.

I wanted to get closer to Mina.

To do that, I felt like I had to share my secret as well.

But it was difficult.

What happened to him was something other people could not imagine.

So I decided.

The sunset that I always wanted to see but could never see again.

If I could see the sunset here with Minah…

He said he would share his secret with Minah.

“Sister…I am grateful to you for believing in me so much. And I’m sorry. I…actually…”

“Stop!”

I was afraid because I didn’t know what would come out of Minah’s mouth.

Eunha accepted everything objectively, but Minah’s words were just as scary.

I’m afraid Minah will reject Eunha.

I’m afraid you won’t like it.

That was scary.

Come on.

I held Mina’s hand.

“Just…let’s stay like this.”

“…….”

“Let’s wait for the sunset we want to see……”

Minah looked at Eunha.

There was no strong heroine like usual.

There was only a weak, exhausted girl screaming for help.

“Sister…why on earth…are you doing this to me…”

“Huh…?!”

For a moment, Eunha’s eyes sparkled.

“Hey! Hey! Look at that! It’s sunset!!”

The entire sky turned red.

That red color dyed the East Sea red.

It felt like beautifully colored autumn leaves.

“It’s a scenery worth waiting for. It’s beautiful.”

“Right…? I expected it and it was worth it, right?”

Eunha, whose eyes become moist.

“Hey…I have something to tell you. It’s my personal…”

“…What is it, sister.”

“It’s a really terrible story. If you don’t want to hear it, you can refuse. I don’t want Mina to have a hard time.”

“…Why are you trying to talk? Didn’t you want to hide it?”

“…Because I trust Minah.”

Minah is startled.

“…I’d go crazy if I didn’t tell this story right now…Because the only people who would accept my story are my family…”

“Well…actually…I didn’t go that far…”

“Because Minah is my one and only family……”

Eunha stands up.

Then he sat down next to Minah and hugged her.

“So…can you listen…?”

Eunha was crying.

Mina swallowed what she wanted to say.

[I’m not as nice as you think.]

But now wasn’t the time to talk about that.

“Yes…please.”

I had no choice but to accept it.

Because Eunha wanted to rely on Minah as much as Minah relied on Eunha.

The two women were silently hugging each other tightly as if they would never let go of each other.

The red maple color of the sea was becoming darker.
