you know kang sae-byeok only because your brothers went to the same orphanage but you only talked in passing and when you both went to the squid game for money after everyone voted to quit the game you were sent back home. it was the day after and were sitting with your little brother and your big brother at the orphanage. i look over to see sae-byeok with her usual expression and talking to her brother but he's crying. i whisper to my brother to talk to him but he tells me the boy won't like him because he's shy so i sigh and take his hand in mine. my older brother complains so i hand him ice cream and then walk over to sae-byeok and her little brother.

i was hugging him saying mom and dad will be under the same roof as us all next year but i see her approaching me. kim min-ji and her little brother were walking over to us and my little brother wipes his tears. i look down at him and then back at her as she smiles friendly. why was she walking over..? why did she always look so happy? why was she so perfect?
