"actually you guys went to daycare together. you were the closest in your classes. that's why i said you'd probably not remember.
"but i do. it was very sweet and i miss hearing you two giggle like that whenever you were together. once you grew up it was just bickering bicker bicker when you were together."
heejin habitually tilted her head for a second, a small piece of her tongue sticking out as she thought back as far as she could.
we were friends?
what?
suddenly heejin let out a scream, startling both chaemi and minsoo.
"what's wrong?" minsoo exclaimed, standing up and joining heejin by the side.
"oh my god, he scared me," she said, breathing heavily as she sat back down next to her mother once again.
"what happened?" chaemi asked, protectively wrapping an arm around her daughter's shoulders.
"well after you said that we were friends i was thinking like 'we were friends'? and then all of a sudden i heard his voice-"
"heejin, slow down. you're slurring your words together again."
"okay, okay, sorry. after you said we knew each other i was thinking and said 'we were friends?' in my head, and all of a sudden i heard his voice. like him replying. to me. i didn't expect it. i forgot that we could do that. it scared me."
"well, what'd he say?"
"what."
"i said what'd he say?" minsoo repeated.
"what."
"i said what did he say?"
"i'm telling you. he said what."
"well, i don't know! you're supposed to tell us."
"no, i'm saying yeonjun replied to me with the word what."
"oh." the two older ladies looked in each other directions before laughing hysterically.

goodnight.
"heejin, are you okay?" chaemi asked, shaking her arm lightly.
"huh? oh, sorry." heejin apologized, finally returning back to reality.
"it's quite late. you should be heading to bed. i'm going to get going as well. have a good night, you guys!" minsoo bid her goodbye, grabbing her things and leaving soon.
heejin helped her mother into her wheelchair and to her room, closing the door and turning out the light after saying goodnight.
tomorrow would be okay, right?
