Chapter 2: The Music Video

After his encounter with Yuna at the grocery store, Mi-suk quickly set off to find his sister, knowing that she would be worried since she had called and left him several messages on his phone. He needed to reassure her that he was okay before she goes and tell their older sister Nari, who would overreact and contact the police.

Misuk rushed through the store, weaving around other shoppers who gave him curious glances as he looked for his sister. Eventually, he saw her standing at the checkout counter, her basket overflowing with groceries.

"Unnie! Stop blowing up my phone!" he yelled, panting as he reached her. "I'm fine, I was just talking to Yuna."

Mijeong's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at her brother. "Yuna? From ITZY?" she asked in disbelief. Misuk nodded in response. "What happened?"

Misuk grinned and told her about his short interaction with Yuna, including how she caught him when he fell and how they ended up talking together.

"So, I was looking for my Tootsie Rolls right?" he began. "But they were on the top shelf, so I had to reach up to get them."

"Okay..." Mijeong said, still trying to follow the story.

"And I guess I was too focused that I didn't even realize Yuna was standing nearby. Suddenly, I lost my balance and fell, but someone caught me. When I looked up, I saw that it was her, smiling at me."

"Wow, that's so lucky," Mijeong said, still in disbelief.

"Mhm! It was amazing," Mi-suk smiled. "She helped me get my Tootsie Rolls and we chatted for a bit. She was going incognito, but she was very kind and friendly."

"Well, I'm glad you're okay," Mijeong said, finally relieved. "But next time, answer your phone when I call."

"Sorry, unnie," Mi-suk looked away sheepishly. "I'll make sure to answer from now on."

Mijeong smiled and ruffled her brother's hair. "Well, did you get her autograph?"

Misuk shook his head "I really wanted to ask, but she was in incognito so I didn't."

"Ah, I understand," Mijeong said. "But at least you had the chance to meet her in person. That's still pretty cool."

The younger twin nodded eagerly. "Mhm, it was great."

"Well then, are you ready to check out?"

Misuk was about to answer when he suddenly remembered something and reached into his pocket.

"Unnie here, your favorite kopiko," he said, pulling out a small packet of the coffee candy.

Mijeong's eyes lit up as she saw the familiar treat. "Oh, thanks!" she exclaimed, taking the packet and opening it up. "I haven't had these in ages. Thanks for grabbing them."

Misuk grinned, pleased that he was able to make his sister happy. "I'm glad you like it, unnie," he said. "Let's pay for our groceries and head home. I'm starving."

The two siblings made their way to the checkout counter, chatting about their encounter with Yuna and what they were going to do for the rest of the day. As they paid for their groceries, Misuk's stomach growled loudly, reminding him of the delicious curry that their sister Nari had promised to make for them.

"Unnie! We're home!" Mijeong called out as Misuk closed the door.

Nari's head poked out from the kitchen. "Welcome home! Did you guys get everything that I sent you?"

"Mhm! we got everything on the list," Mijeong replied, holding up the grocery bags.

"Great, the curry should be ready in a few minutes," the older sister said as she took the bags from her siblings. "You two go wash your hands and set the table."
