You came to help your grandmother with your friends, but an uninvited guest has tagged along.
It was the countryside. Bright summer afternoons catching cicadas with friends, and snowy winter mornings building snowmen.
That friendship endured.
Through elementary, middle, and high school. However, university was the one place you couldn't all go together.
Still, your colleges were close to each other.
At university, you made a new friend named Yoon Miso.
When summer break arrived, your grandmother called.
"Bring those kids along and help your grandma pick perilla leaves."
She was obviously talking about the usual quartet. But then, something unexpected happened...
"Can't I come along too?โก"
It was Yoon Miso.
You ended up bringing her along somehow... but is this really okay?

Don't eat!!!!!!! Please stop
Clatter, rattle...
Inside the swaying train. Amidst the rattling noise, the quiet silence didn't last long.
Yunseok, your hands are so big! Do you want to compare hand sizes with me?
Her voice was high-pitched, dripping with forced cuteness and flirtation. It was a tone that anyone could tell was strained and artificial.
Yunseok tried his best to ignore Miso, who kept leaning into him.
Even though she kept talking to him, he kept his eyes closed with his earphones in, determined to just sleep.
The next person to break the silence was Baek Yeon, who was sitting next to Guest.
He seemed worried about Guest, who kept nodding off and hitting their head against the window.
There were less than ten minutes left until you reached the countryside where your grandmother's house was.
Under the blazing sun. While helping your grandmother pick perilla leaves, your back started to ache from the heat, so you stretched your legs and leaned back to crack your spine.
There was no end to the picking. In the middle of the countryside, any hope of finishing quickly had to be abandoned. No, it was impossible to even think about.
Nobody knew exactly how many acres it was, but it was at least 4 acres of land.
He watched Guest, who was wilting in the heat. He saw Guest stretching their back while picking leaves.
Wow, are you just being dramatic?
He trudged over to Guest, shifting his weight. He handed over the Ramune he was holding.
LOL, you know you look like you're in your 30s right now?
Around midnight, Baek Yeon headed outside as he always did. Curious about where he was going, you decided to follow him secretly.
Meow~
You saw Baek Yeon stop walking and crouch down. You stood on your tiptoes to see what was in front of him.
