As her vision cleared, tears welled up in her eyes as she saw her cousin Yeonjun standing there, a warm and genuine smile on his face. It was an unexpected but heartwarming surprise. Y/n had longed to see him, and his presence filled her heart with a sense of belonging she hadn't felt in a while.

Y/n rushed forward, throwing her arms around Yeonjun in a tight embrace. "Oppa! I can't believe you're here."

Yeonjun hugged her back just as tightly, his voice filled with emotion. "I missed you so much, butterfly."

Y/n felt a mix of emotions relief, joy, and gratitude. In the midst of the family drama that had torn her apart, Yeonjun's arrival was a ray of hope. He was the missing piece she had longed for, and his unwavering support meant the world to her.

As they sat down together, Y/n couldn't help but feel that, despite all the challenges she had faced, her family was slowly finding its way back together, one piece at a time.

••••••••••

The ongoing day Y/n and Yeonjun decided to spend a sunny afternoon together, catching up and enjoying each other's company. They walked along a picturesque path in a nearby park, the scent of blooming flowers in the air.

As they strolled, Y/n couldn't help but feel grateful for this moment of tranquility. She wanted to keep the conversation light, not burdening Yeonjun with her family issues.

"Oppa, it's been so long since we've had a chance to hang out like this," Y/n said, smiling as they walked side by side.

Yeonjun nodded, a warm smile on his face. "I know, Y/n. I've missed our times together. How have you been?"

Y/n took a deep breath and appreciated the simplicity of the question. "I've been through some tough times, but I'm learning to cope. I'm just glad you're here now."

Yeonjun's eyes were filled with curiosity. "I'm always here for you, Y/n. And if you ever want to talk about anything, you know I'm all ears."

They continued their walk, chatting about lighter topics, sharing stories, and making plans for the future. It was a moment of respite from the family drama that had surrounded Y/n's life, and she cherished every minute of it with her cousin, grateful for his presence and their uncomplicated bond.

"If you don't mind, butterfly, can I ask you something?" Yeonjun inquired as he observed his little cousin, whose gaze was fixed on the setting sun.

"Sure," Y/n replied.

"Are you truly okay? Because you don't seem like yourself today," Yeonjun expressed concern.

Y/n hesitated for a moment, her eyes still fixed on the vanishing sun, its last rays casting a warm glow on her face. She knew Yeonjun was genuinely concerned and that he might be the one person who could understand her struggles.

After a deep breath, she finally spoke, her voice tinged with a mixture of sadness and relief. "Oppa, there's been a lot going on in our family. It's been tough, with lies, manipulation, and so much hurt but it's been taking a toll on me."

Yeonjun's expression shifted from concern to anger, his brows furrowing as he listened to his little cousins words. Mixed with that anger, there was also a hint of curiosity, a need to understand the full scope of what his cousin had endured.

He reached out and gently squeezed Y/n's hand, reassuring her with his touch. "You have been so strong butterfly, but I need to know what's been happening. I'm here for you, and I want to support you through all of this. Please, tell me everything, and remember, you don't have to face this alone."

Y/n, feeling the genuine concern and support from Yeonjun, began to share the details of the family struggles that had unfolded during his absence. As she spoke, she felt the weight of her burden slowly lifting. It was comforting to have someone she trusted to confide in, and she knew that together, they could navigate the challenges that lay ahead.

Though tears welled up in Y/n's eyes as she realized she had someone else she could confide in, someone who would listen without judgment. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting the world into shades of twilight, Y/n felt a glimmer of hope in the support of her cousin, and she knew that their bond would help her face the challenges ahead.

Yeonjun listened intently as Y/n shared the painful details of the family drama that had unfolded in her life. The more he heard, the deeper his anger and concern grew. It was clear that he was deeply affected by what his cousin had endured.

As Y/n spoke about the lies, manipulation, and emotional turmoil she had experienced, Yeonjun couldn't help but clench his fists in frustration. "I can't believe they put you through all of that. Y/n, you didn't deserve any of this."

Y/n appreciated the empathy and understanding in her cousin's voice. She wiped away a tear that had escaped her eye and gave him a weak but grateful smile. "Thank you, Oppa. It means the world to me that you're here, listening, and supporting me."

Yeonjun wrapped his arm around Y/n's shoulders, offering her a comforting hug. "We're family, Y/n, and family should be there for each other. We'll get through this together, I promise."

Y/n and Yeonjun walked in silence for a moment, the weight of the conversation settling between them. Eventually, Y/n spoke up, her voice filled with gratitude.

"Oppa, I'm so glad you're here. You have no idea how much your presence means to me, especially during these difficult times."

Yeonjun smiled at her, his eyes reflecting warmth and determination. "Butterfly, as I said before we're family, and family sticks together. I may not fully understand everything that's happened, but I'm here to support you and help you through this."

Y/n felt a renewed sense of strength knowing that her cousin was by her side. "Thank you, Oppa. With you here, I feel like I can face whatever comes our way."

They continued their walk through the park, their conversation shifting to lighter topics, cherishing the simple moments and the strong bond they had rekindled. In the midst of their challenging family situation, Y/n found solace in her cousin's unwavering support and the promise of a brighter future.
