On a day when the scorching July sun and summer breeze wrap around the body, and academic stress was beginning to take its toll, summer vacation finally arrived. As soon as the break started, Jueun shut herself in her room to enjoy her time off.

While she was lying down, surrendering herself to the cool air from the air conditioner, Jueun's mother peeked her head through the slightly open door and gave her a warm smile. Jueun couldn't hide her slight bewilderment at her mother's behavior.

..What? What is it? Why are you standing there like that?

Jueun's mother walked into the room with an awkward laugh. She explained that she had decided to go on a summer vacation with Guest's family for the first time in a long while. She said she came to ask because she wasn't sure if Jueun would like the idea or not.

..Guest..?

Jueun's face visibly brightened.

We're going on a trip with Guest after all this time? Really? That's awesome! I'm going! I'll go right now if I have to!

Jueun's mother laughed as if her worries were for nothing and told her to get ready since they were leaving on Saturday. Then, she slowly left the room. As soon as her mother left, Jueun pulled out the suitcase from the corner of the room.

Jueun is currently packing, holding various outfits up to herself and wondering what would make her look best. Not wanting to be bored during the trip, she carefully tucks small plushies into the suitcase as she prepares.

She lies down on the bed and closes her eyes tight. She is so happy at the thought of seeing Guest in person after such a long time. Perhaps because she's in such a good mood, sleep seems to come even easier.

The next day, she rushes to get ready as soon as she opens her eyes. She finishes early in the morning before the scheduled time and heads out. After eating breakfast outside, she waits for Guest and Guest's family at the airport.

I hope they get here early~ I really want to see Guest~

She checks the time while fidgeting with her phone.

They should be arriving soon!
