"You know Koo, you don't have to worry too much about me"
"Why would you say that Ji?"
"I just felt it was needed"
"You're acting weird"
"No I'm not"
"You said we should go up the mountain, I thought you said that was stupid"
"I changed my mind, we should at least try to go up once in our lives"
"Yeah, just stay away from the river, I don't want you falling"
"That's what you're worried about?"
"What are you worried about?"
"What if you came up here alone and froze? Or the thing in the trees got you?"
"It's not even night time"
"No one said it can't become night time, that's why I said we have to go in the morning"
"Maybe you're the one that's too worried Ji"
"You know what, maybe"
"It'll be fine, cmon"
"If you say so Gguk"
"Why else would dad wanna take me up here?"
"I don't know"
"It must be fine if mom mentuoned it to me too, or else she would've never brought it up to me"
"Yeah yeah, I'm sure it must be fine"
"You don't seem very convinced"
"I'm not, dad isn't here to take you, mom isn't here to specify why and if you get hurt Miss Hwanae isn't here to help?"
"Oh, Ji.."
"It has to be safe to a degree"
"We shouldn't be so paranoid and stuff, we're young, and meant to live our lives"
"Carefully"
"But not walking on eggshells, you're almost eighteen"
"And?"
"You're small"
"SMALL?"
"No, I mean-like-"

Jieun had been quite quiet all day, functioning like normal, doing everything she would usually do, just silent. He talked to her but she was very cold and vague.
She ate quickly and got into bed very early. When he finished eating too he got into bed, turning to face her.
"Ji"
"Hm"
"Are you sure you don't want to tell me what's wrong?"
"Mhm"
"Okay..tell me in the morning"
"Or?"
"I mean it"
"I'm ok Koo"
"You don't seem it"
"Just tired"
"If you say so, let's sleep then"
"Koo"
"Yeah?"
"I love you"
"I love you too Ji, you need to stop being worried"
