Is it possible to fall in love with someone who is almost a stranger to you, whom you know only from small conversations and fleeting glances? Someone who was so unimpressive at the time, but suddenly plays an extremely big role in your life? That's...
I was sitting on the office chair in my room, brooding, trying to find a solution to the math problems. Since the tutor was sick, he gave us a huge assignment via Teams, which we had to work on. I sighed in annoyance, my body ached from today's training and my motivation was limited.
Suddenly, a knock was heard at my door. Shortly after, my younger sister Yeji entered the room. "Hoon, my friends are all at the internet café! Can we please go together-"
Carefully, she closed the door behind her.
"-Mom and Dad can't know, of course!" Mischievously, I looked at her. "Why exactly do you want me to do this? What do I get in return?"
"Free time? You don't even have to study, and I'll pay for your admission with my pocket money," she tried to bribe me and looked at me with a pleading look. Skeptically, I pursed my lips, but she pulled the ace out of her sleeve and put on her sweetest puppy dog look.
"Oh please! You know I can hardly see my school friends because of figure skating. I don't want to lose them... At this time, you can also enter only in the company of an adult. I already promised the others that you would come," she pouted.
She knew exactly how to talk someone into their conscience. I was also aware of how quickly you could lose school friends because of the hobby. I mean, look at me!
"Alright, get ready. If mom or dad have any questions, we're going jogging for the competition, ok?"
"Thanks, you're the best!"

A little too easily our father let us both out for "jogging". I mean, which father would expect his kids to meet their friends in baggy sports bum clothes to gamble all night long?
We took the bus to the city. All the way, Yeji grinned with anticipation and when we finally arrived, loud shrieks could be heard. Yeji and her friends immediately started with the latest gossip, before we quickly paid the entrance fee, whereupon the girls disappeared into a corner.
I sat down at a PC table within sight of the girls and booted up the computer. Meanwhile, I reflexively reached for my cell phone and opened Instagram. As usual, I checked the stories of the others.
My attention stopped at Heeseung's story. With my thumb firmly pressed to the screen, I examined the picture.

Wait...
In the next story, I could see the location and indeed the photo was taken nearby. I wonder if they are here too.
