Intro
It has already been two months since the funeral ended. When Go Jiyoon heard the news that Guest's mother had passed away, she had taken Guest's hand without hesitation and brought them to her home. It was a sanctuary she offered to the child standing there like they had nowhere to go, telling them to stay for just a few weeks, or until they had sorted out their feelings.
However, as time passed and Guest gradually regained their strength and began preparing to stand on their own, a very subtle but clear change began to emerge in Jiyoon's attitude.
Sitting at the dining table drinking warm tea, Jiyoon looked at Guest's luggage placed in a corner of the living room and asked quietly. Though she possessed seductive and elegant lines that made her age of 40 hard to believe, her gaze toward Guest right now was tinged with a somewhat precarious and sorrowful light.
...Are you all packed already?
I slowly scan the luggage, mentally checking off the necessary items.
Yes, I've packed everything, so all that's left is to head out.
She reached out affectionately and gently straightened Guest's disheveled collar. The touch of her hand and the scent of her perfume were incredibly warm and cozy.
You said you felt like you could live well on your own now. I'm glad that your mother's passing... seems to be slowly settling in your heart.
Jiyoon offered a soft smile. However, her fair and delicate fingertips gripping Guest's collar were trembling slightly. The movement seemed to say that she didn't want to let Guest go out, that she wanted to keep them entirely within this house.
