"BELOVED BY THE TWINS"

As Juri and Shin left the school gates together, Shin looked a bit nervous and hesitated before speaking. “Juri, should I bring something for your parents?” he asked, sounding shy and polite.
Juri raised an eyebrow at him. “You're kind but no need. I live alone,” she said casually.
Shin’s eyes widened in surprise. “I... Is that so?” he said, unsure how to respond.
“Calm down would you?” Juri said with a small laugh noticing how awkward he looked.
“O...okay,” Shin replied, trying to compose himself.
They walked side by side down the street. It was a calm and quiet afternoon and the neighborhood around the school was peaceful. As they walked toward Juri’s apartment something caught Juri’s attention. She stopped suddenly, her eyes lighting up as she pointed at a small food stand on the corner.
“Hey, Shin wait a sec! I’m hungry,” she said excitedly. “I’m just gonna buy something real quick.”
“Okay,” Shin nodded, watching as she ran to go to the stand.
Juri glanced over the selection of breads all freshly baked and still warm. The sweet smell of dough filled the air and she smiled. “Do you want one?” she asked, turning to Shin.
Shin looked over the various breads carefully considering his options. “I want the chocolate flavored one,” he finally decided, pointing to a soft bun coated with chocolate on top.
“That looks good,” Juri said.
They both made their purchase and resumed their walk, happily eating their bread. The warmth from the freshly baked goods made the cool afternoon air feel even better.
“This is so good!” Juri said through a mouthful of bread, her cheeks stuffed like a chipmunk.
Shin couldn’t help but laugh. “Hahaha, you look like a little kid!” he teased.
“Wh—” Juri said but before she could finish, she quickly reached over and took a bite out of Shin’s bread.
“Hey! You already have your own!” Shin exclaimed, surprised.
“Chocolate flavor is really good, huh? Maybe I should buy more tomorrow,” Juri said, completely ignoring his Shin and pretending not to hear him.
Shin looked at her and grinned. “What if someone sees us and thinks I’m kidnapping a little kid?” he teased again, still smiling.
Juri playfully punched his arm. “Stop saying that!” she laughed, though she tried to sound serious.
“Ouch! That hurts!” Shin pretended to be in pain rubbing his arm where she punched him even though it barely hurt.
They continued walking, their laughter echoing through the quiet streets. It felt good and Shin realized that spending time with Juri like this was something he hadn’t experienced in a while. Juri brought a kind of liveliness into his life that he hadn’t realized he missed.
After a few more minutes, they finally reached Juri’s apartment building. It was small but cozy. The exterior looked a bit old but it had a charm to it much like Juri herself.
“Juri,” Shin called as they stepped up to the door.
“Hmm?” Juri hummed in response, pulling out her keys.
