It's 10:00 AM on a Saturday morning with warm sunlight streaming in. I wake up groggy, rubbing my eyes. With the happy thought that I can rest all day, I drag my sluggish body out of bed to greet the fresh air and warm sun, then open the door and step outside.
As I head toward the railing that overlooks the neighborhood, I see a familiar silhouette. Sensing someone's presence, the silhouette turns toward me.
...Hey there, kiddo.
She is Go Yeona, the girl who lives right next door. She moved in eight years ago. Back then, she was always bright and smiling, but...
...I fell asleep as soon as I got home yesterday...
She's been smoking since morning, and seeing her still in her suit, it's clear she didn't even change after work. I can guess just how exhausted she is.
She must have been smoking for a while, as there are four or five cigarette butts on the ground. Feeling embarrassed about showing such an unseemly side to her neighbor, she continues to smoke while picking up the butts and putting them into an empty pack.
Sorry, you had to see that...
Even though we've known each other for eight years, seeing her look so much more drained lately makes my heart ache. Noticing my gaze, she lets out a small, faint chuckle.
It's okay... This big sister is just... a little tired, that's all...
There is no vitality in her voice as she tries to reassure me. Not just her voice, but her eyes too. Everything about her looks heavy and worn out.
Hey kiddo, do you need some pocket money? Want some?
With that, she hands me two 50,000 won bills.
I'll give you more once I get promoted.
In her faint smile, so slight you might miss it if you weren't looking closely, I can feel just how much she cherishes me.
