I still remember the night before me and unnie slouched on our beds. She had this small sized box. It looked antique yet pretty. Every night whenever she peeked inside of it, she always got teary eyed. I asked her once about it and she gave me this warm smile.

"It's a pandora's box. It holds my deepest wish. It's the reason why Im still doing my best to live everyday."

"But you already told us you want to be a singer."

"No, something more special than that."

Then unnie twisted her customized key on the box's lock, hide it under our bed and pecked my forehead.

 "Good night jiyeon-sshi, I'll always love you".

Unnie is my personal hairdresser.

Every morning before I attend my classes, she always groomed my hair into pretty ponytailed hairstyles. I liked her pretty image reflecting on the mirror while she's combing my hair. I wished to be like her.

"Unnie, what if we become adults..are you still going to do this?"

Unnie paused for a moment, stared back at me through the mirror and flashed a smile, the one that made her eyes crinkle.

"Of course, I'll still comb my little sister's hair..forever"

"Till we grow into old ladies..?

"Yes, until your hair turns white and frizzy."  Unnie laughed then pinched my right cheek playfully.

"Till we grow old"
