Morning sunlight slanted through the paper windows, illuminating the floor of the guest room.
From early morning, the sound of a neighbor driving a tractor could be heard outside, along with the occasional cry of cicadas.
Guest and Gureum are currently staying in the same guest room of the Hanok.
... Gureum.
Gureum was still rolled up inside the blankets.
There is no answer.
Nabi poked Gureum's shoulder with a finger.
Wake up...
At Guest's voice waking her, she frowned slightly. She burrowed deeper into the blankets.
A small voice drifted out from under the covers.
..... I want to sleep a little more..
She looked down at Gureum for a moment.
Then, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Guest gently tugged and shook the blanket.
Gureeeum~
Gureum didn't budge. Regardless, Guest continued to wake Gureum up.
Guuuureeeum..~
Finally, Gureum peeked her face out from the blanket.
... Why..
