The counter staff, who had been watching them, understood and took the bell with a smile. While it was being packed, Yoo In, with a clenched fist, spoke to Seonyoung, who stood awkwardly with a smirk.
“Kim Seonyoung. If you have something to say to me, say it directly. Don’t ruin my mood like this.”
Seonyoung simply shrugged her shoulders, as if expressing regret.
“What a touching friendship. I thought I was watching a growth drama. But, you know, Nam Yoo In.”
Approaching with large strides, Seonyoung lowered her waist a bit, as if sharing a secret, and lowered her face to Yoo In’s ear.
The strong fragrance emanating from Seonyoung, who was close, was so overwhelming that Yoo In’s head was buzzing.
“Do your friends know you’re going to a mental health clinic?”
The sentence that came through clearly passed through Yoo In’s head like a huge boulder, hitting it fiercely.
Caught off guard by the sudden shock, Yoo In couldn’t even move, and her lips trembled without uttering a word.
Seonyoung’s knowledge of that, where she heard about my situation, and confusing and difficult speculations filled my mind.
“What nonsense are you babbling about?”
Jaehee’s explosive shout, the employee’s guidance that the ordered drinks were all packed, and now entering the cafe, a certain woman who, sensing a suspicious atmosphere, intervened and assessed the situation, all blended together.
“Kim Seonyoung! What are you up to again!”
The woman who abruptly entered blocked Seonyoung, put on sunglasses again, and then, after gesturing and kicking to apologize to the people around her for refraining from taking pictures, she stared at Yoo In.
“I apologize. Our actress is sensitive as she’s about to start filming a movie. Did I say or do anything rude? I’ll apologize on her behalf.”
Yoo In, who sneezed when she saw the woman bowing, took off her sunglasses and retorted in a dull voice.
“Unnie. Why are you acting like a thug? Don’t mess with anyone. Can’t you see she doesn’t know? Look closely.”
“Why are you like this? If Director knows, I’ll really be cut this time!”
“Is it my fault if you get cut? When did you ever say to go in first when I told you to park?”
Apology or whatever, it didn’t enter her ears. She didn’t even care about who this person was, arrogantly apologizing as if such accidents were familiar.
Ignoring the two making a fuss in front of her, Yoo In wiped her pale face with cold fingertips.
The sad flaw that was deeply hidden beneath the surface of her mind, momentarily forgotten, only her family, Jaehee, and Ji Han knew. How could she not know about it?
She hadn’t even mentioned it in front of Kiyeon.
“Yoo In. I’ll bring the stuff, so wait at the entrance for a moment. No, just stay outside. Don’t confront them.”
Worriedly looking at Yoo In, who seemed like she might burst at any moment, Jaehee pushed Yoo In’s back cautiously.
Staring blankly and motionlessly, Yoo In slowly looked at Jaehee. Without saying a word, Jaehee, reading everything in her friend’s eyes, comfortingly patted Yoo In’s shoulder.
As Yoo In, who was leaving with a blankly crumpled face, opened the glass door, there was a moment of pause. The sharp voice of Seonyoung pierced behind her like a sharp blade.
“Unnie, doesn’t she know? Clearly, she’s Nam Yoojin’s sister.”
Yoo In felt a sensation as if her ankles were caught on the white tile floor she was stepping on.
Her feet no longer moved, and she didn’t have the courage to turn around. The sound that resounded so clearly felt like sharp glass shards embedded throughout her body.
Ancient memories that surged like a disaster and the noise of friends whispering grievances melted hotly into wax, pouring over Yoo In’s head.
Like a catastrophe, old memories surging and the noise of friends who sighed melted into hot wax and poured over Yoo In’s head.
When Yoo In, stiffened and not moving on her own, didn’t regain composure, Jaehee forcefully pushed Yoo In out, closed the glass door, and locked it.
“…….”
Thrust out alone into the outside, Yoo In, unable to pull herself together, gazed helplessly into the void, then gradually started to step forward with slow, deliberate steps.
The steps, initially hesitant, gained speed little by little, eventually turning into a pace akin to running.
Fleeing endlessly from the unwanted past, the lingering regrets, and the arrow of baseless malice—all the things she wanted to forget.
“Uh, ugh…….”
Without properly looking ahead, running recklessly, panting heavily, Yoo In ended up leaning haphazardly against a poorly sunlit, humid brick wall in some unknown dark alley.
Exhausted, sinking to the ground like a turtle retracting into its shell, Yoo In buried her face between her knees. At that moment, her phone, which she was holding, vibrated loudly.
Yoo In couldn’t lift her head again.
“……Haah.”
Exhaling a long, heavy breath, she struggled to push away the memories that covered most of her mind.
Not yet. There were still too many unvanquished resentments within her.
The vibrating sound abruptly stopped. Then, at that moment, the person she needed the most and the person she needed to keep at a distance both came to mind simultaneously.
“…….”
With wet eyelashes blinking heavily, she fumbled through the contacts on the screen to find what she was looking for.
Among the few numbers, Yoo In quickly found what she desired, pressing the call button without hesitation and bringing the phone to her ear.
The other person, as if waiting, answered the call immediately.
Hey! Why?
Hearing the voice, stability and sorrow exploded simultaneously. Yoo In, who barely swallowed down the sob filling her throat, called out to the other person.
“……Unnie.”

Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
